Swapping & What I have

[letzgostate]

I have been trying to post what I have to trade in the swap thread however it always tells me that I am not authorized to. I have over 15 posts on ECF.

Does anybody know why I can't participate in the sticky swap juice thread?

Anyways, I ordered some:

60/40 Caramel Cappuccino 12mg with extra flavor

It just isn't my thing. I also ordered OMG which I like more. I have about 27ml of the Caramel Cappuccino left.
I am looking for sweeter juices. Let me know what you have to trade. Oh, the BOD is 11/21/11.

Also, does every order come with a "bait a sampler" or a "test juice"? It was my first order and I didn't get one. Just wondering.

That is odd that you can't post in that thread... I'm sure someone might have an answer for you.

Usually, every order comes with a Bait A sampler, but recently they have had to stop it for bit for reasons that I can't remember.

 

[letzgostate]

Dalton, thank you for responding. Wish I could have gotten a sample of something. I am mostly pleased with my order, but for some reason, the juices are substantially less sweet when compared to the prefills I was getting from V2. Do you know how to sweeten up what I ordered?

 

[Dalton63841]

LOL Well to be honest, I'm not a fan of the flavors you listed above, despite how popular they are. A couple suggestions would be to give them a shake now and then. They are premium, made to order(i.e. not premixed in a drum 6 months ago juice). Many of the flavors benefit from steeping them for a bit. I know the OMG is one of those "gets better with age" flavors.

EDIT: I know what you mean about the samples. I miss them too. They just did a holiday thing with a Bait A of Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving, and I missed out on it.

Do you know, is there a way to open the the dropper containers? The ones I have require so much pressure to drip. Hurts my hand to squeeze that hard. Out of curiousity, what are your favorite flavors?

The dropper end will pop right out of the bottle. I am the KBV Cake Junkie... Chocolate Cake, Gooey Better Cake, Birthday Cake. LOL. Also Rice Krispity Treat, Waffles with extra butter, Buttercreme Icing, Butterscotch Bon Bon...

I am all about the bakery flavors LOL!

 

[letzgostate]

I thought I was into Coffee... after reading your likes... I may have to start vaping the bakery flavors too

Oh, and I don't know why all of the sudden I can, but I can now post to the swap thread! Score!

I see you finally got into the swap thread. When I FIRST started vaping, 9 months ago, the only flavors I could stand were coffee flavors, but after 2 months I burned completely out on them, and now they are just gross to me.

The truth of the matter is that the best flavor I have tried thus far is the Coffee juice they put in the V2 Cartomizer prefills. The problem is, those cartomizers rarely come 1/3 full and many are defective. The few I get that work are heaven to me. I really wish I could determine their juice supplier because their coffee is sweet and creamy with a milky carmel sort of taste. I can't seem to find anything remotely close to it. I just can't keep affording to purchase carts that last me a few minutes to a day with such a high defect rate. Hopefully, I will find somebody on here willing to trade me for some bakery flavors!

Oh, and strangely, the taste I get out of Caramel Cappuccino is a Caramel Corn with butter sort of taste.. for me it is very off putting, however, apparently, tons of people like it. It really amazes me how subjective things are. It gets so expensive to try juices. I wish KBV just sold a sample pack.

 

[Dalton63841]

What kind of PV do you use? Also, what ratio and NIC did you get your juice in?

 

[mwa102464]

letzgostate,

you can use a few things to sweeten it up, = Ethyl Maltol, cotton candy liquid, Stivia, but I stick to plain old Sucralose & EZ Sweets myself they both work well.

 

[letzgostate]

I use a V2 battery both manual and automatic, as well as a power notebook cig (USB powered PV)

From V2, I believe it is 100% pg at 12mg nicotine in their prefills

From KBV, I ordered the 60/40 standard for both, however the following deviated:
1. Caramel Cappuccino = 12mg nic + xtra flavor
2. boB's OMG = 24mg nic (meant to select 18mg, picked 24 by mistake)

Hi mwa, thanks for chiming in. I purchased some Stevia in the store today cuz it was convenient. How do I add it? Where do you get Sucralose or EZ Sweets?

As a former Michigander, I would like to welcome you to the site (Although I gather you are a MSU fan from your screen name, I won't hold that against you[GO BLUE!!]). I know how ya feel about the coffee thing, I still havent found a coffee juice I really like. I like it sweet and creamy and I always get a more bitter taste from all the ones I've tried. KBV is known for their bakery flavored joose and I bet you will find some that you really enjoy. I, myself, love the Gooey Better cake, Monkey Bread, and Warm Sugar Cookie

As far as your vaping PV, I think the V2 is one of those "commercial" E-cigs that alot of people start on and find that they leave something to be desired. If it works for you, great. If you find that battery life is too short or that it doesnt produce enough vapor, dont quit vaping!! There are other alternatives out there. Alot of people step up from the "cig" look-a-likes to an eGo or a mod. I see that you are new to the forum so I guess I'm assuming your new to vaping. If I'm wrong, I apologize. If I'm right, feel free to ask any questions you have and there are numerous friendly people here at the "Hidey Hole" that would be more than happy to help vaping succeed in keeping you off those nasty cancer sticks!! Anyways, welcome to the KBV forum!!!!

Oh I JUST remembered. If you like sweet and creamy coffee vapes, you MUST try KBV Cafe Latte. Remember I said I am completely burnt out on coffee vapes? Cafe Latte is freakin delicious.

I have been eyeballing that one but have been scared to try it as I just havent had good luck with coffee vapes before. Do you notice any type of bitterness in it?

Unlike every other coffee I have tried, not at all. In fact, it reminds me of a premium cup of coffee(or even a cappuccino maybe?), with sugar and plenty of creamer... Very smooth taste. You know those Frappuccino drinks that are almost a milky coffee? Imagine that, but warm.

 

[letzgostate]

Morfeeus and Dalton, thank you both so much for all of your help.

Dalton, I am going to try to order some of that Cafe Latte tonight when they open back up.

Morfeeus,I was not at all offended and you are right, I am new to vaping. I must say, that even being a commercial PV the V2 puts out a hell of a lot of vapor and seems to last me at least all day. If it wasn't for their really crappy quality control with prefilled cartomizers, I would never have even found KBV.

I very may well hit you up to discuss "upgrading" to a better unit, however, for the time being, the V2 seems to work well. I have one of their extended manual batteries which looks nothing like a cigarette but do have the original automatic battery that came with my trial kit.

As far for the name letzgostate, growing up I had a lot of state fans in the family. I never thought I would be smart enough to get into UofM. It was always my handle for internet stuff because letsgostate was taken. I just use it so that I don't have to remember so many login IDs. Actually, I went to MSU for a couple semesters and then transferred and graduated from UofM Ann Arbor. I guess I might be considered a mixed breed. I have to say, both Universities are great but if I had to assign my allegiance to one or another, it would be UofM.

Sweet! I lived most of my life in Belleville, which I'm sure you know is only 20 mins from AA. I kind of had no choice but to root for the Maze(sp?) and Blue. I only moved out here to MO about 5 months ago for work. Luckily I have DirecTV, so I have gotten to watch my Tigers, Lions, and Wolverines. Otherwise, I don't know if I would have made it. I'm glad the V2 is keeping you off those nasty analogs. I luckily came to the forums before I started vaping and got some wonderfull advice to try the eGo first and it worked wonderfully for me until I decided to upgrade to my Provai. Now, I use a Provari and my VV Foxy Box Mod that I got from Godzilla here on the forums. If you want to step up to your first mod, the FBM is a great low cost choice.
