Heyya,

Ok, so some updates. I got the V4L Ego kit and after charging all day, I have now had the opportunity to use it. 1 Battery....not working. Fortunately, Monday I will call V4L and they will hook me up with a new one that is not defective (they have great reviews for customer service, so I have full faith in it going smoothly). The other Battery, working strong. I got the mega cartos with the kit and filled it up with some Grey Matter....and yay! The hit is super smooth, throat hit is fantastic, and the flavor is clear and fresh. I love the Ego! Plus it is a pretty pink color with a rubber feel to it. My first step up from the cig size style batts and I'm diggin it.

Also, I talked with my hubby about having purchased new batts and being able to fix him up with his own kit and he thanked me and is excited. He even sat through a tutorial on how to refill his cartos with his juices. My only concern is him burning up cartos by not paying attention to juice levels. He almost did with one yesterday and I stopped him and let him know it needed more juice. It is a learning experience and I figure at some point he will warrant us buying him some tanks for less worry. His fav juice of all that we have sampled...."Arnie Pullmore" from Mr. E's. Yay!

Afternoon, folks! I've been dealing with storms and power outages all damn morning. Looks like the storms have passed for now at least.

LOL Chrissy, that's why I got Mom and Tara set up on Stardusts in the first place.

For all of you Phiniac fans out there, Jennifer Cook (the owner and founder) was diagnosed with breast cancer. That's something that hits close to home since Mom's a survivor. Anyway, here's a link to a fund if anyone is willing and able to make donations. It also has links to other opportunities, like juice purchases, silent auctions, etc.
Raise Money For Breast Cancer To Support Jennifer Cook

Myth... first of all, gratz on the 6 month vapaversary :toast: Soooo, Mr. E.. I got 36ml bottles of the Mango Melba and the Sexy Beach.. those two are totally tank worthy for me. You know I love HHV but their mango doesn't hold a candle to this one. And the Sexy Beach.. OHHHH.. cranberry and orange. It's quite fantastic, really. They're both pretty sweet though, so be aware of that. I like the sweet, and the sexy beach has a good tart kick to it too. I also got a smaller bottle of the Grey Matter, cuz Chrissy says it's good :)

Chrissy, that's great about hubby getting on board!! And NOT giving you grief for buying new equipment. It's all for a good cause! I've always read good things about V4L, so I hope they'll replace your dud and soon!

I'll definitely check out that link, Reidus. I'd read about that in another thread.. sad, awful stuff. No breast cancer in my family, but my dad died of lung cancer (and yes, he was a 3PAD smoker). It just seems like cancer is everywhere.. rampant. Or did we just not hear about it as much 30 or 40 years ago??

Still haven't made my order at DV... I got called in to work today. There's a nasty stomach bug going around and two weekend people called in today... poops and pukes, it's nasty. Hoping I can avoid that, and made some vacation cash today :D

Oh yeah,, forgot.... I got the .... from Mr E on my first order. A lot of people rave about it, and it's ok. To me it tastes like a deep dark chocolate, almost a bitter chocolate with a touch of raspberry or some berry, and maybe a tobacco base?? I don't know, it's kinda hard to describe. It's not something I'd vape all day, but it isn't bad. It's kinda nice when you want a break from the sweet stuff. They also sent a sample of Berry A Peelin.. I get total banana from it, I think it was Chrissy said she got nothing but berry. A little side note... I think I've decided i just plain don't like raspberry. Maybe it's just my taste buds right now, but anything I have that has raspberry in it tastes really bitter... ICK. I put those in the back of my toolbox,, maybe some day they'll taste good again.

Luv, I'm not sure if cancer is more prevalent today (wouldn't surprise me in the least) or if it's actually talked about now. 50 years ago, cancer (especially breast, ovarian and uterine cancer) simply wasn't discussed.

I guess I'll have to try Mr. E next. I'm planning on filling my Phiniac w/Snickerdoddles once my new cartos come in from CCV. Though I'm definitely in a fruit phase atm. My Vivi's are filled w/Dragon's Tear and Zoe, and my Lavatank is the permanent home of Dragonsblood. And no, I haven't tried my hand at making a new coil for my Phoenix. It's so dreary here that I'm kinda dreary too, lol.

Yah know what's really weird about that...10 years ago I didn't know anyone with cancer, of any kind. Today, 10 years later, my mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer (she's fine now after removing all her "parts" and it didn't spread) then 5 years ago my dad was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma....chemo, radiation and bone marrow transplant and is 6 months cancer free...and a friend of mine I worked with a couple years ago just passed last week from ovarian cancer (it wasn't caught in time and it spread everywhere)....

Hey Mythus, if you haven't placed your order yet, I also ordered English Meadows, which is a pineapple flavored tea or tobacco (can't decide which, leaning toward tea). My guy loves it, I'm developing a taste for it. It is more of a fresh pineapple rather than canned or candy. It is pretty good. I will reorder it. We will also reorder Arnie Pullmore, hubby won't put it down. It is a Arnie Palmer heavy on the lemonade.

Mornin all. Hope you are having a great day!

Oh well, vaca's over. I start back teaching tonight. I'm actually looking forward to it. Partly because it gives me a chance to make more converts. :D

I"m definitely gonna have to place an order with Mr. E once payday gets here. Hopefully, my order from ECB and my cartos from CCV will arrive today. I'm definitely running low on Zoe and Dragon's Tears.

Anyway, y'all have a great day!

Rock on to Vapor4Life Customer Service!!! I called them this morning about my new Ego battery not working and 2 minutes later, she let me know that a new one would be in the mail today and she asked that I send the defective one back whenever I get around to it. Very nice service!

Only downside...they were busy this morning and I first called on my cell...and I was caller number 4 after waiting 15 minutes my phone battery ran low and I didn't get it plugged in in time. Ooops.....so I called on my landline and after 10 minutes of waiting, I took care of my 2 minutes of business and all was good. I don't mind being on hold as long as the call is productive when it occurs. This was that situation. Yay to them!

Poor Reidus... back to work :( Paychecks means more juice and gear :thumbs:

Chrissy, that's great about V4L.. I've always heard good things about them. Way back, when I first started with V2 they did the same thing for me with a PCC that didn't work. Sent me a new one and asked me to send the defective one back when I got around to it. Yes, they were WAY overpriced, but I credit them with getting me started on this journey.

I got vapemail today!!!! My juice orders.. Mr E, big bottles of Sexy Beach and Mango Melba, which I already know I love, and some Grey Matter which I haven't tried yet. Also another freebie of Berry-a-peelin. Then I got my AltCig humungo bottle of Vanilla Love... oh, it smells so yummy!! I also got some peach milkshake and banana milkshake. I was thinking I could mix the banana milkshake with the HHV Island Dream that I'm not loving. Peach milkshake,,, well, we all know that peach is my all time favorite, in any form. I haven't tried em yet though. I think I'm going to try a quick steep in a bowl of hot water. Can't hurt, right? Oh yeah, and they sent a small bottle of Raspberry Shortbread Cookie.. which I did try and YUM! I got a lot of vanilla at first, but now I'm getting just a hint of raspberry (which is good, cuz too much berry is kinda bitter) and lovely vanilla cookie creaminess. Wouldn't have ordered it, but yeah, I like it!

I know I said I'd never clean cartos again,, too much of a pain but I had some time and a bunch of cartos that I knew weren't dead yet so I boiled em up, blew em out and put them in the toaster oven at the warm setting for an hour. Worked like a charm!! They're dry and it didn't take a week! So I'm going to hold off on my DV order for a bit. I've got 8 tanks, 2 mopheads from HHV, a stardust that's performing well, 2 Apollo tanks and a bunch of cartos.. I think I have enough stuff for a while :laugh: Well, at least until the next best thing comes out!

Welcome Tallulah! Glad you could join us. How long have you been vaping?

Luv....try the grey matter....do it......do it.....do....it.....no pressure.

I'm kinda obsessed with that juice.

To all.....yes...I am obsessed with grey matter. I'm certain that everyone has that one juice....that just rocks their world. What was yours?

Side Note: I revisited Berry-a-Peelin' today and the banana is actually very prominent. The berry taste throws me off....just not my thing, but it has changed dramatically with steeping from my first interaction.

Nighty-night Tallulah... awesome that you and hubby are doing it together! I have two Twists and love them!! Absinthe??? That's hard core!!!

Chrissy,, I did try the Grey Matter. And it is very good! It's interesting, not in your face, but a good smooth tobacco vape. Won't replace Gandalf for me, but it's quite good.

AltCig's banana milkshake is a pleasant surprise. Tastes like those banana taffy candies, smooth and creamy banana.. I'm liking that one. The peach milkshake,,, IDK, maybe I didn't let it soak into the carto enough. Not luvin that one. I'll have to give that one some time, I guess. The Vanilla Love though, is totally rockin in my Vivi.

Did I mention?? I cleaned and dry burned my vivi coil head the other night.. Apparently it worked, cuz I don't detect any of the previous flavor on it and the vanilla is awesome!! And I didn't burn it either... yay for me!! (I popped one before:facepalm:)

Hi TallulahTattoo, and welcome to the thread. If you're looking for bargains, juice flavors, advice on APVs, or just someone to make you feel better about spending a bit too much, you've come to the right thread. The regulars in this thread are probably the most awesome people I've met on the interwebz, and I'm sure you'll find that to be true as well.

Just out of curiosity, since you're a wee lass' residing in Whales... How is the vape industry in Scotland? Do you have local shops or do you need to order most of your stuff from overseas?
