Rewicked with some rayon. Tonight we're doing five pawns Bowden's Mate w/ ECBlend mix of some kind of coconut.
The end result taste came out tasting like toothpaste. Not really feeling it but I'm going to vape it anyway cause I'm too lazy to pour it out.

I tried Cellucotton rayon for the first time last night. I'm going to use it for rewicking a few more times, but my initial impression was that I like the cotton Cellucotton better.

Or depending what you want, the classies....
For a little over $100, there's a couple name-brand good ones there now - an Electric Angel, or a black Silver Bullet, both with Kicks.
Of course, a good clone's always available for less than that.

$60 for the 101vape clone of the Flip, if you like that kind of thing $45 for a Panzer or a Stingray there - they have a bunch for $40 or less.

You should check out A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I'm sure they have it on youtube. Stephen Fry was Laurie's writing/comedy partner for years.

Jeeves and Wooster was a favorite collaboration!

I seriously panic if I'm out of Peanut Butter Creme Pie, Banana Pudding, Candied Cavendish & Burley and Candy. I always have those four no matter what. Then my most recent love was just a by chance order. I HATE tea in RL, I mean totally despise it. I can't stand the smell or taste..it actually makes me gag. Hot or cold, flavored or not.

So why I tried Creamy Chai Tea is beyond me. I think I had a few cocktails and added it to my order and when I got it, I thought WTH???? It is the BOMB!!!!!! I love this vape so much that I went thru 10 MLS in 2 days (that's huge for me cuz I change flavors 7-10/day) It's creamy, with a hint of spice (not a weird spice, but like a nutmeg or something) or possibly the spice is the ginger.

I taste a soft ginger that is outstanding. It actually makes me want to try Chai Tea in RL cuz I don't get that gross tea taste or smell.

ETA- every Monday night they post a new flavor of the week that is discounted. I usually reorder when one of these five are on there. Angel Sauce is very good too.

Oh dear -- that Chai sounds delish! Now I get to buy more! ;) Thank you, though!

oh I can understand. my sand and finish guy is a 3rd generation wood man. he can feather a floor, match colors. and he NEVER leave edger or big machine marks in any of my floors. and of course we stay busy. lol. so first thing first. when you put the stain on, with lambs wool usually, you have a guy on his hands and knees wiping the stain off like 60 second after. it is important. cause the wood soaks up the stain almost immediatey. if you don't , and let is sit and dry. the stain will soak thru the wood and you will not be able to sand and finish it again. which is pretty much contradicting the reason for putting a natural wood in. might as well have bought a pre finished. it is real easy to jack a wood floor up. in any of the 8 processes it takes to make it perfect.

there is no excuse for poor craftsmanship. I am really sorry for what you are going thru. I can not tell you how many jobs I have to fix. I do at least 10 shower repairs a year. and usually have to have my wood guys repair 5-7 wood floors. sometimes we have to tear the entire floor up to make it right. and if you think you are out 10k now, could be 20-30k to come in and fix absolutely everything. you still have painting? counter tops? back splash? like I said......you can PM me/ I will give you my phone number. I have a few friends in nashville. I have no problems taking a few minutes out of the day and talking to you. or help you by running down some real help where you are. its as simple as calling and asking a few questions to check for competence. I will even put you in contact with my wood guy. he is like my brother no kidding, and let him explain the EXACT process of getting it right. but if you ave to call someone to find out the contractors job, and then explain to them what they should be doing. then you should fire them no questions asked. my customers NEVER tell me how to do my job. thats what I got certified for. lol. just pm me cooly. I will help in any way

Good person award!! :)

I like my drippers. I have a patriot and an enigma. They seem easy to build. I have thought about the dripper pro, too.

I love my Dripper Pro...oh so very much!

Ha -- that's like about 8 of my toppers...I keep giving those flavors a chance because I don't feel like cleaning them. Only a couple have improved in the last month though. :facepalm:

Anyone having huge july 4th sales/

To be fair, in case you've missed it, that forum was launched with a lot of blustery talk about killing ECF, referring to the mods as Nazis, and one-sided horror stories of being banned here. There may be other reasons to block linking to them, but that's justification enough for me...

Hmm. Why are people talking about a Provarinati exodus to http://www......................./?

Edit: Seriously ECF? Uncalled for censorship in my opinion. Since when can't we link to other forums? The forum is Vapor Joe's "..................."

You might change your tune if you were banned like I was. It took a personal intervention by Mad Murdock and several emails to get reinstated. I was one of the lucky ones, and had some heavy hitters on my side.

...That was a bad time. Losing ECF is like having an appendage amputated.

The exodus was to a different forum anyway. After all of Joe's blustering, his forum doesn't seem that much different from any others (I'm a member of almost every one). I'm not that impressed with the way the sections are laid out.

I'm sorry to say that I hope "GoodNews!" finds that forum. With their relaxed rule set, it would seem he could last for quite a while. :evil:

With all of the discussions Joe said he had with people while setting it up, I'm surprised it's got sort of confusing topic names. People are posting all over the place in the wrong sections and their posts are getting lost. I imagine they will figure that out in time.

ETA: Lol - I already forgot who GoodNews was. It took me a minute.

Sorry that happened to you! Glad you got back in!

And I might change my tune about ECF bans - but not about the way Vapor Joe and peeps talked about ECF. I find it tacky and unprofessional to attack another service in the same industry. It's kind of an unwritten rule - you should discuss what's great about YOURS and let your users figure out on their own what might be wrong with a competitor...
And really, Nazis??? I've seen worse, too - but that one was repeated frequently...

It does seem that there have probably been occasions where people have been banned for an infraction that was unintentional, or not that serious...

On the other hand, some of the "odd" rules here have contributed in some fashion to the forums success.
VJ has a totally different model - he's link central and a traffic builder. And he acts as though that's superior to a model that charges vendors for a presence and regulates their activity. I don't think one's better, they're just different models.

I've been at the underground. I've posted. I'm giving it a chance. But I totally agree with Ocelot - it's quite difficult to find things, and there's precious little content of value to find (compared to ECF). If you Google a question about vaping - you'll end up here...

Tidbit of interest. From what I can tell by poking around, the busiest thread there, BY A LANDSLIDE, is the one in which you have to post to try to win a ProVari.
:D :D :D :D :D

That's exactly how I ended here.
I've been to other *playgrounds* which consists of people who took their toys from here so they could endlessly rant regarding how things are done here & by whom.
That's not the kind of stuff I want to spend my time reading- too easy to get caught in the trap; if ya know what I mean.
On the plus side I think it's also good to have other playgrounds that allow adults to be adults; if ya know what I mean!
