Both!!!

As far as I know they are the same and I transfer everything to glass anyway.

The biggest differance I've found is sometimes they have a 20% off sale with free shipping and the glass bottle works out to the same as the plastic bottle with 0% off and paid shipping or even with the plastic bottle and 20% off and paid shipping and............................................

Its all a coupon stacking game.

For flavors all my business has gone to Bull City. Over all at the end of the day (corporate speak) BCV has provided me with the best experience. I don't actually have anything bad to say about any others just that BCV is that step ahead.

For VG its Essentials Depot. I have gallons of VG and PG but in most cases I'd say a couple gallons of VG would be best and a gallon of PG is enough for 7 brazillion years as PG comes in the nic and flavorings.

If you can share an order with others you can save some money. I'm currently working out the details on a 4 gallon VG order with another cook. I think its called "The Cube" or some such.

Last time I ordered VG I picked up one gallon from Bulk Apothecary and if memory serves, paid $24 with shipping. I see Essential Depot has 2 gallons for $39.17 with free shipping which is a good deal. I dont even use PG anymore. By the time I add the nicotine (PG based) and flavors I am averaging 90/10 VG/PG. I keep a 500 ml VG bottle on my mixing shelf and fill it when needed from the gallon I have.

I don't DIY. I have a friend that did some of his own extractions, the one I really liked was from a "sutter gold" tobacco I think. Other than that, HHV Legend is my all time favorite, no idea what she puts in that but it's heaven. NET's are the only tobacco vapes I've ever liked, the tobacco "flavors" I've tried were not what I was looking for. One site has an american spirit extraction that tastes the closest to a cigarette vape I've ever tried, but by the time I tried it, a cigarette was no longer something I liked.

I have never tried NETs. Heard a lot about them but to me, they seem to cost more than I am willing to spend on them. I been wanting to try some tobacco extractions, just havent gotten around to actually doing it yet. With a cigarette flavor, at first I thought that would be cool and I have gotten close. Some flavors have an ashiness and when you add things like DNB to the mix, it gets close to the taste, it still falls short of the cigarette experience and honestly, thats not what I am looking for anymore, yet a good tobacco blend I find very enjoyable.
When someone says tobacco flavor, most people think of one taste but that is the farthest from the truth. A good tobacco flavor could be a grassy flavor thats reminiscent of the smell of a meadow, while other tobacco flavors can be like a silage like flavor thats very enjoyable and yet others can be a bold tobacco flavor like you get from tasting cig tobacco. Some can have a natural woodsy smoke flavor thats nothing like a cigarette smoke flavor but like a campfire smoke, while others might be a Cavendish flavor or have a slight fruit accent to them. For those delving into DIY, there is far more available to them then just fruit vapes and dessert vapes.

Well fellow Mod Wompers, im back into the DIY experimental phase. I been on a quest for a perfect tobacco vape for a while and moving from tootle puffing to mod womping thru my mixing for a loop but all in all its been a fun journey. Now with some people wanting to get into DIY here, one thing must be said. Your never going to find a vape that will taste like the cigs you smoked. Flavor technology just isnt there yet. But they have some mixtures that are kinda like a regular cig taste.
What I like about tobacco flavors is the tobacco flavor itself. I remember as a kid going into a store and they would have a tobacco aisle and you could smell all the great tobacco flavors, especially with the pipe tobaccos. Open up a bag of cherry tobacco and take a deep inhale...Mmmmm. A lot of the DIY tobacco flavors are like that. The vape taste like the tobacco itself. One flavor I like is latakia. Its based off a persian tobacco style and has a deep dark tobacco flavor with a real smokiness to it. Another great flavor is Shade by Flavour Art. Its a sweet deep grassy tobacco flavor with a hint of prunes or plumbs on the exhale. Awesome vape. With all tobacco vapes, a long steep is the key to really open up the flavors in the vape.
How many of yall like tobacco flavors and what flavors are your favorites?
My faves so far are Hangsen Deluxe tobacco and Desert Ship. don't care for the pruney tobacco flavors, these are the most accurate ones I have found.

Sure is quiet at ECF today... :(

Andria

After 15 years of having Saturday off I am on a rotating schedule and am off Thursday this week. Today.

I am so bored I could cry. I will have to set things up so I can entertain myself on weekdays but for now its hide the guns and knives. I have a full wood shop but its like 90 degrees out and I ain't getting to far from the AC. My truck doesn't have AC so I can't go anywhere.

And ECF picks today to be slow. Not me because it would be to obvious but I wish somebody would start a flame war.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Heh... back in my 20s when I had several waitress-type jobs, I always worked weekends, that's when you make money, as a waitress; so everyone else was dreading Monday, and I was looking forward to it!!! :D

Now I'm a housewife, so every weekday is pretty much the same; but on long weekends if the ol man doesn't have anything to do... I'm looking forward to Tuesday... ;) He's a huge PITA if he doesn't have anything to do. :D

I went with the Disrupter but the Coolfire was the other contender.

Its a sweet little mod.

I get it next.

My original silver one has turned into my favorite mod. After I sold the Evic-VT and was wondering what other mod would make a nice no-smoke-a-versary present, I learned about those Phiniac etched mods, and figured that had to be the one -- a custom etched CF4!

I can't wait! :banana: I even ordered a new red knucklehead driptip to go with it. It got shipped today, so I'll probably have it, before I have the new CF4.

I've only tried a few "tobacco flavors" and most were horrid, the only ones that weren't bad were the ones that didn't actually taste like tobacco but some odd mix of graham cracker and sweet that someone just decided was tobacco, but I didn't really like those either. With the NETs some have that grassy "green" taste, some the spice, some the chocolate notes or honey or whatever else. The good ones taste like smelling good tobacco. If you get the chance, try some out, it might inspire you to do your own extractions. The hardest part, I hear, is the filtering.

I used to not like built in batteries but now I realize I see something shiny long before I wear batteries out.

But I need to slow my roll as ain't nobody around to give a starter kit to anymore.

As of this week, subject to change without prior notice and past performance doesn't guarantee future results, I don't know a single smoker at work or in my family. I been hammer at them and I'd gain some and lose some but this week every single one is off the smokes.

The answer turned out to be easier then I thought. The Subtank Mini. The low hanging fruit I picked off with Nautilus class stuff and let them move up on there own. But the tougher nutz, the REAL heavy smokers had me baffled. So I talked one guy into an Atlantis. And it worked. Then another with a Subtank. And it worked. So I standardized on the STM and went after the rest. And all tried it, either out of interest or so I'd quit bothering them.

Its like whack a mole but I'll keep them all on the reservation as long as I can.

I don't know any other smokers. Yesterday, after the Dr appt on the way home, I stopped at this little convenience store in the small town where my Dr is, to get a Pepsi for the ride home... OH. MY. GOD! it was like walking INTO an ashtray! I just about had to hold my breath until I got outta there! I told my husband if i ever started that craving a cigarette stupidity again, to escort me there so I could smell it -- that will fix it in a single breath! :eek: Either that or just smelling it will satisfy the jones. :lol:

I agree up to a point.

Smokers stink. They make me gag. We have a smoking casino here in town and the smell when we go is disgusting (don't gamble but they have like 10-12 good restaurants inside which are non-smoking).

Thats the agreement part.

The disagreeing part is me thinking I couldn't get used to that smell again. Cause I could. My own smokey smell never bothered me.

I've never kissed a smoker but I can only imagine its the most disgusting thing in the world. Every time I smell a smoker, which isn't hard if your within 500 yards of the filthy animals, I ask my wife why she never left me??

ROFL!!! After I got smoke-free and smelled cigarette smoke, I told my husband that I finally KNOW he TRULY loves me, to put up with that for 27 yrs. :D But he is so happy not to have a wife who smells like an ashtray anymore, he really doesn't care WHAT I spend, as long we have the money.

It smells somewhat like an outhouse that caught on fire... :shock:
