To all e-liquid/e-cig stores worldwide: Don't accept any of my orders until further notice!

[iamthevoice]

No problem I wouldn't recommend it if I wasn't blown away by it (I ordered 500ml of it just today after trying their 30ml bottle). Even if you don't like it, as it is just "fresh as ice" with no back taste, you can use it to "freshen up" other juices. I just put a few drops in a Liqua citrix mix (which basically sucks stock) and it brought out the fruitiness of the juice.

I'm basically a menthol junkie lol.

PS: If you end up ordering a small bottle, order the 30ml one because you will love the bottle they use (never seen one alike in any other store) and it will become super handy in the long run

I guess I'm not the only one using menthol to "rescue" some crappy juices...

 

[tchavei]

some still were terrible, but surprisingly some got really good...

So either the flavours improved over time or your quality requirements dimished...

Well... I probably could vape those bottles if I didn't had anything else at hand while suffering horrible nicotine withdrawal symptoms during some sort of food poisoning episode... yeah, I probably would vape them...

Except the blueberry one... that one would definitely kill me.

Unfortunately, some things can't be salvaged not even with a hand full of pure menthol crystals... I tried and failed :S

Speaking of which... what do you guys do with all those liquids you order to try out and find out you hate them? Is there something like the "vaper's red-cross association" where you can donate this stuff? Have a few dkang, hangsen and liqua flavors I have tried out (less than a ml so they are pretty full (over 9ml)) and didn't like them at all... don't know if I should just bin them or what?

Vapemail doesn't just come from vendors anymore.

I'm doing the same thing! I guess I'm just a mint/menthol guy. People raved about Custard's Last Stand, so I got 30ml....don't care for it at all. Throw in some MBV Extreme Ice, and I can use it up. Got some MBV Cucumber Mint....not minty enough. Throw in some Extreme Ice. Sooooo, today I ordered a huge bottle of Extreme Ice, a bottle of Exteme Ice flavoring, and some more Absinthe (which I LOVE), and I'll be happy for a while!

Include me as well. I'm running out of places to hide my new purchases from my husband.

hehehe... we were out at a couple of vape stores tonight, getting my stocks replenished, and I informed him that he might not know it yet, but I'm very soon going to be buying a white vv3. He just shrugged. I think he knows that standing between me and vapeware is as dangerous as it used to be to stand between me and a cigarette.

Yeah well, you're the alfa, so you can get away with that but not me...

Anyway, even if I could get awaywith it (and I ocasionally manage to do so), I really think I'm overdoing it... there is no need but I can't control my urges to buy something... speaking of which... need to check out a store I found this morning online

The OP brings up a good point actually. If you consider the cost of premium juices are 30ml bottles at over $20 a bottle, the cost of authentic drippers, mods, etc, now buying Japanese freakin cotton!!!...and if your a semi-chain vaper like me, this surpasses the cost of smoking cancer sticks. lol

I like your sig banner caption... I'm on my 2nd attempt too, and I concur, really hope not to have a third! It was much harder the 2nd time reaching the decision to put the stupid things down again, even though I had intended to do so right from lighting the first one, when I briefly went back to smoking. But what is the latin?

And I don't think I'm the alpha... I'm just the one who oversees the paying of the bills, so I always know EXACTLY how much I can get away with spending on vape stuff, while allowing the ol man some of the budget for his coin-collecting hobby. He had to abandon it when the economy got so bad, and once I was off the very-expensive smokes, I figured we should both benefit from the money saved.

Oh vaping does surpass smoking costs... at least mine. Don't know if I mentioned it in this thread but I dropped out the first time because of personal issues (moving to another town, doing my MSC degree, finding my batteries uncharged almost everyday... it was easier to pick up a pack of cigs) however, once I was settled in, I found a way of smoking extremely cheap (like $5 a month cheap) and I could smoke as much as I wanted so I stopped for like two years until my lungs started to collapse... had a pneumonia during the winter, bronchitis for like 3 months during the spring... bah... I decided to return to vaping for pure health reasons. Vaping is far more expensive to me than smoking in the last two years but I will never return.
Of course if you compare "normal" cigarette prices and vaping, vaping does come out cheaper so its another incentive to quit. In my case, its just for health reasons.

But what is the latin?

"Aut doce, aut disce, aut discede" Either teach, learn... or get out... basically a popular expression that one should spend his time learning new stuff and/or teaching others new stuff (which should basically be the spirit of any forum). Once you're not doing either... its time to leave because you ain't doing or any good anyway. I believe its written on a wall at S. Peter Basilica in Rome

It's both, for me... since I AM the one doing the budgeting, I'd sit here twice a month with that $88 allocated for cigarettes, and wish wholeheartedly I could get rid of that expense. When I first quit smoking, at the end of Feb, I kept buying vape stuff, wondering where all this money was coming from, I never could buy so much stuff online before! Then it dawned on me, that $176 a month is a considerable savings!

PS: you didn't translate that latin -- what does it say? Latin fascinates me, but the only latin I'm familiar with is some botanical, names of some plants.

i did, check out my post before yours

Ahh ok, I missed that! Good motto! I've always liked "lead, follow, or get out of the way" but mine is probably more like "don't follow me, I'm lost too!"

And the spending continues........

 

[tchavei]

lol... well, sometimes vaping does become a pissing contest, no doubt...

"Meanwhile, back at the ranch..."
Since I posted last I've bought two Nautilus Minis and some coils. Was gonna get one but, with two I got free shipping. And some juices. They were sample size and 20% off.

I have yet to do a cost comparison but, at over 1 1/2 packs a day I figure that by the time I get the gear settled down (like that's gonna happen) and only buy juices I'll be gaining.

Onward through the fog...

I had the same doubts that my vape spending would ever "settle down"... but when I was ill, I wasn't buying any vape stuff for a while, which was fortunate since my illness cost my husband a day of work, and then we had the holiday (july 4) which also messed up his OT, so that was a short check too -- but since I wasn't buying vape stuff (and although I was smoking, it wasn't very much), we were able to maintain even with 2 short checks back to back. So I think that eventually the vape spending does settle down and money is saved... unless one does in fact have a shopaholic addiction to deal with...

But I need a white vv3, and a couple more Mini PT IIs, and some more drip tips... also really would like a Smok RSBT and an MVP2... Ok, maybe I do need a 12 step meeting for shopaholics...

Yeah, I've got the addiction gene. First it was scotch (oh, and how I sometimes miss my old friend Johnnie Walker Black who I said goodbye to 28 years ago) then it was collecting vintage guitars (boy, was that expensive!) and now on to this new one. But all in all, this new one is much healthier. And the pieces shinier!

Yeah when my husband is watching football and the beer commercials come on, I just salivate, I can just about taste it... *drool* I tasted some NA beer once, and it wasn't bad, but I figured I'd better pass, it would be just like this stupid addiction to say Hell with this NA stuff, gimme a REAL beer! But after nearly 22 yrs, other than those stupid commercials, I can't say I really miss it -- when I was in the e-room with my stupid appendix and they gave me morphine, all I did was go to sleep! It's probably good that I never discovered scotch; tequila was bad enough!
