1/5 - 2

Like many of you doing something you'd rather not be doing, I am getting ready to leave the house. Which I hate. However, am I delivering the print I sold, so I will be picking up some cash. Which I love. In turn, that cash will turn in to a VVV tank. Which I also love! Also a few other vape supplies.

So, I am full of love and hate today!

You are all so productive this weekend o_O All I've done is made Gyoza, gotten batteries for the Zmax in vapemail, and located updated software for older computer gadgets I have. It's been 2 weeks with no update on shipping info from one store selling flavorings, so I won't be using them again unless I've got a month to spare and they return the interest on my $100 :/

chit chat,
Just had to put in one more thing, Rays packing is second to none, doubt he ever has any issues with what he sends out with how much care everything is packed.

1. I completely agree that Ray does a phenomenal job with packaging. On the juice side, I haven't seen anyone better than Ahlusion. The glass bottles have sealed caps, are tightly wrapped in bubble wrap, placed in a box with foam peanuts, and come with separate dripper caps for those that want them. On the presentation side, Alice in Vapeland's packaging is completely charming. The bottles have charms that correspond with the flavors, are placed in bubble wraps, and are enveloped in multicolored shredded paper. You just feel happy when you open the box. While I understand this kind of packaging takes time and time equals money, I wish more vendors packed with the care that Valley View Vapes, Ahlusion, and AiV show.

Can I get some recommendations for Ahlusion & AiV? My tastes are all over the place, from tobacco, sweet fruit/drinks/desserts, to spices. But I prefer everything on the stronger side. Any suggestions will be appreciated. There is only one thing I bought and did not like and it was green and even that is changing in flavor and getting bearable now.

White Rabbit is named by Morri? Is this OUR morri?!?!?!

2. With Ahlusion, everything has been very good to outstanding. Blue Grass Burley is my favorite tobacco e-liquid every -- very much like an expensive Nat Sherman cigarette. Wipeout Honeydew is delicious; I got this one with the lowest menthol offering and it complements it nicely. W&A Sasparilla is really, really unique -- definitely not a straight root beer, but a complex and spicy sasparilla beverage. Mimosa Cocktail is really good, but I'd get it with the extra champagne option. Vurley is Blue Grass Burley's sister, but with some vanilla; I've only had a bit of this one and already love it. Maple House Blend I've also only had a bit of, but I know I'm going to like this one a lot too. Boba Tea is what I'm vaping this second; it's milk tea with sweetness, based on the Taiwanese beverage dessert. I really like it straight up, but have another bottle with lychee flavor steeping. Mimosa Cocktail and Boba Tea are available with a variety of fruit option. Here's an Ahlusion review I did last year; Raina and I have another that will post next week.

For AiV, I've sampled three before putting them away for steeping. Mystic Mandalime has a wonderful mandarin orange taste that's unique, with a twist of lime. B/W Cookie is going to be one of my favorites. At an early age, it tastes like the chocolate half of a black-and-white cookie. I wonder how that will change over time. Sweet Tease is iced tea with lemon and the flavor is spot on.

Glass really should be well packed during shipping. Pyrex tanks should definitely not break, but juice bottles could easily get mangled!
I was watching a youtube video and the guy was talking about vaping with glass drip tips.... He said it makes the juice taste so much better! He puts out clouds as he uses ss mesh at very low ohms! Kinda scary stuff! But, it got me thinking how I would love to have everything in glass, liquid, tanks and tips! :) My pocketbook would definitely hate it, though!

You think a glass drip tip would really make a difference? Metal versus plastic versus glass drip tips? Aesthetically it would be very pleasing, but the taste? Perhaps the heat coming off of the tip would be an issue as I have some Kanger KR510 1ml cartos with these odd little reservoirs as the mouth piece and they get HOT, but I like it!

1/5 #2 I'm finally making the move over to diy. Can't wait till my first batch of flavors get here

@ inanitydefined - Good to hear =] I find it quite fun to mix this and that. I really don't know what I am doing besides 50PG/50VG and then around 20 drops of flavoring :p Thanks goodness I have plenty of nicotine juice for the bad days!

@ Uncle - Do you know what you want? Make sure it's in stock or get on the waiting list now... it looks like he's been wiped out recently. Since Ray's out of stock on a couple of things that I want, I'll be placing an order to test out some of the new products once they come in =] I think I am going to grab a 7ml tank for an all day vape now that I've been refilling this grommet pyrex tank regularly and am comfortable with it. It doesn't hurt that I have this ginormous Zmax to hold that tank now o_O The 'other' tanks I have bought are all scrapped for spare parts for friends when the co-op cartos come in >.< Ray's carto punch for the incoming co-op cartos and the 1-2 oz fill bottles are looking like they need a new home :p I am stuck mixing with 5ml containers until I get larger containers in, so no problem with the wait =]

I'll have to send a PM to Ray before I order so he can tell me what tank parts I need to salvage the scrap parts I have to give away.
