Vapaholics Anonymous - Part 2

[BuGlen]

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)

I believe that dry burning is more of an art that a science, and it took me quite a while to get the hang of it. I still pop the occasional coil from time to time, but with replaceable heads it's much less expensive when I do. The other thing I've noticed that helps is if you use a dental pick and gently scrape the coils after dry burning to remove the ash, and then rinse under hot water.

Cheeky - I just wanted to mention that I've vaped a couple ml each of your Blueberry Danish and Berry Shortcake flavors from ECB and they're outstanding! Very smooth mixes that vape nice in my T2s with XF, and both go excellent with coffee. I'm still waiting for Cheeky's Vapes shop to open in St. Pete so I can swing by after work!

Hello all i have spent days reading through this thread and i just wanted to say you such a wonderful and warm hearted bunch. I will try to pop in more and get more involved but this wee scottish lassie could not resist waiting any longer to say hiya to you all

Hey luvinit, at the moment i am rocking an ego twist eith a vivi nova purple aluminum tank with a burple cherry vape pawn, juice is cloud 9 absinthe Have got an ego mod coming tomorrow, part of my birthday prezzie

Welcome Tallulah! Glad you've found us & taken the time to introduce yourself - we're happy to have you!! The Twist & Novas are a GREAT into to vaping! YAY!!! Which Ego Mod do you have coming in, and when is your birthday?

I'm happy you're enjoying the Danish & Berry shortcake juices!!

Cheeky's Vapes shop may be a long way off/unlikely to happen, but once I'm released to drive again & feeling better, I'll happily meet you for a Vappy Hour & bring you a few of my favorite new DIYs

Still recuperating from this weekends vape meet - It may have been a bit ambitious to go this soon after the surgery, but it was so nice to see everyone! I think the first vape meet after the next surgery is going to experience a much shorter Cheeky presence than this one - I may treat it something like Cinderella @ the ball, only I'll into a pumpkin an hour or two after I arrive I was able to see a T2 @ the meet - it looks like an oversized stardust & was so highly recommended by a longtime vaper who has never recommended a clear in his life, that I am more convinced I'll have to give them a go the next time I need to buy gear, which may be a while since I'm pretty much set for a year or more - I'll probably bite the bullet much sooner than that though

As always, still keeping up with the posts, but not posting much for the time being.

Reidus, enjoy going back to work, and the regular paycheck that comes along with it, as well as the ability to make more converts!
Luv, don't stress the extra work too much, things always balance out over time, and the OT is terrific vacation & vape indulgence monkey
Chrissy - I'm so happy V4L is being great and sending you a replacement so quickly! It's always wonderful to find a company that really prides themselves on their customer service. Interesting that more vaping co's seem to be customer focused vs the "real world", likely because it is still such a small community & word of mouth is incredibly powerful. It's something larger industries should take note of (cost wise, there's significant savings in retaining customers & maintaining good relationships with them). /end tangent
Mythus - I hope you're enjoying the commute in Belle! She's a lovely addition to the family & will keep you safe during your long drives.

If I've missed anyone or anything, I apologize (Hi Mac!!!) - time for me to stop typing
Until the next time, peace, love & vapor y'awl (haha I'm practicing my Paula Deen )

Mornin all. Hope y'all are having a great day!
Welcome to the madness, Tallulah! This is a really great bunch of folks!
Gratz, Luv on your first successful dry-burn. I'm still a bit leery of it, though I understand the concept.
Cheeky, glad to see your recovery is proceeding well. And I do have a convert already, I think. She's currently using disposables and I showed her my twist and Vivi set-up. She was shocked at how little they cost! I told her my trippy tip cost about as much as the entire rest of the set-up. I'm pretty sure she's gonna want to get set up sometime soon.
Gotta run; got classes this AM and meetings this afternoon.
Later, Lizards! Vape On!

 

[Reidus]

Oh, and I got Mom to order some T2's as well. Tara's still having issues with Stardusts, mostly self-inflicted, bless her heart. I always thought I was the most mechanically inept member of the family. Who knew?

 

[TallulahTattoo]

Hey Cheeky my birthday is on Saturday, yey!

The mod i am getting is just the basic Joytech mod from Cloud 9 Vaping, but hey it is big enough for me at the moment

 

[TallulahTattoo]

Hello BuGlen I am not too sure about the vaping biz in Scotland, seeing as i am down in Wales, heehee but i will be finding out when i go home this weekend
The scene in wales is really taking off, we have a Totally Wicked store about 30 mins away. However me and the hubby get most of our supplies from Cloud 9 Vaping, a really awesome online store

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?

 

[luvinit]

Hey guys... good morning, or afternoon, or evening.. whatever it may be! OK, so I thought I'd hold off on the T2 for awhile. Really, I've got 8 tanks, a couple mopheads... do I really NEED some T2s??? Of course not, do I want one? Of course!! Well, Friday is payday.. we'll see.

I ordered something for myself that's not vape related.. (horrors!) I bought an inversion table. If you don't know what it is, go to Amazon and check em out. The chiro recommends stretching by hanging from a bar you can install in a door frame but I don't have the strength in my arms anymore to hold myself up that long. And a lot of my problems are in my neck so I think that's too much strain, using my arms to hold me up. So I think an inversion table will be just the ticket. My mom had sent me an $80 amazon gift certificate and I had some reward points so the thing only cost me less than $40 and I belong to prime so I'll have it by Thursday. I think it'll help me a lot. Between the chiro, the yoga (which I still do!) and hanging upside down on that table.. I should be good as new!!!

Must run to work.. have a fabulous day everyone!! (or night!)

 

[TallulahTattoo]

Thank you for the welcome Reidus

[Reidus]

I"m back.
Let me know how the inversion thing works, Luv. Luckily, I don't have any back problems, yet, but both Tara and her husband do. Though yoga has largely alleviated Tara's problems, her husband refuses to do yoga.
I"m getting ....... The 2 packages that were supposed to be delivered yesterday still aren't here. I'm going to having words with my mailman in the morning.

Well, geography was never my strong subject in school, and apparently neither was spelling (I misspelled Wales). I've read good reviews about Cloud9, so I believe you will continue to have a good experience with them. In any case, welcome to our little family of vapaholics!

Welcome, welcome!!! A new friend from across the pond as they say. So glad you decided to say Hi!! As Luv said we are a buying support group...we support you in buying all that you want!! And we are all happy to share our experiences and loves etc....

Oh speaking of juice (hahahah) you'll learn I never need a reason to talk about juice...

LUV....just tried Monday's Donut after steeping for a bit.. and ddaaaammmnnnnn....just like a raspberry jelly filled donut...Oh My! yyuummmmmyyy!!! I think this is going to be my with coffee vape tomorrow morning

Love the yoga!!! I did it for a while but with my long hours these days I just don't have the time....I think its starting to make me a cranky girl I really did love that time and I felt soooo good afterwards!! Ahhhh...I do miss it at my last job they hand an instructor come in 3 days a week at lunch, it was awesome!!! I hope you are feeling like a million bucks after the chiro, inversion table and yoga!! Oh don't forget to save vapefunds with all that healthy stuff!!

Well Glen, don't worry....I suck at both as well...if auto-correct wasn't around these days no way would I even have a job!!! HAHAHAHAHA.....

 

[Mythus2012]

Oh forgot to tell you all that if you are ordering from Mr. E I found a coupon code

"vapetv" (no quotes) I think it was 10% off enjoy!!!!

 

[luvinit]

Dam!! I always miss the coupon codes!! Oh well,,, the Monday's donut, the raspberry was too strong for me. It was good at first, but then the raspberry REALLY came out and to me it's a tad bitter.. I can probably tame it down with a little vanilla. What I found that's really, really good is raspberry shortbread cookie from AltCig.. mostly cookie with just a *hint* of raspberry... so good!!!

I really am gonna start a business,, yet another convert last night. A friend of the girl I work with,,, I had given him my loaner KGO last week and my friend said she didn't think he was all that into it. He was going to stop by work last night to return it to me. When he showed up, he asked me to order him what I thought he'd need cuz he was planning on quitting on Monday and wanted to have his own stuff. YAY!! Once again, the Pineapple Mango Smoothie did it. He didn't care for the tobacco's I gave him (Gandalf) but he really loved that PMS. So I ordered him two Twists and a charger, a couple mopheads from HHV, some PMS and some Parrothead from HHV. That should get him started nicely. $104 for all that,, hell, you can spend that in one week buying stinkies!

I've got some AltCig Vanilla Love in my vivi and I find myself returning to it a lot during the day.. it hasn't steeped much, and it's still really good. And that vivi is performing so well... I think my problems with all the clearos I try must be the juice I put in them.. some just don't wick very well. I've got a running list in my head of what I'll need to put together for vacation.. I may need a whole separate suitcase!

Reidus, hope your packages come today! Feelin a little bad for your mailman right now

 

[Reidus]

Mornin all. Hope y'all are having a great AM!
Mail hasn't come yet. I'll let you know how that goes.
Another convert! You go, Luv! I love your abbreviation for Pineapple-Mango Smoothie btw.

Well, Mom's progressing exactly like I predicted she would. When I was home, I kept trying to get her to find other juices, but she insisted that menthol would be fine. Now, she want to find different juices! She's looking for something lemony. Any suggestions? I"m thinking some kind of lemonade.

 

[XIVChrissyVIX]

Hey Reidus,

Jake loves MEL's Arnie Pullmore. It is heavy on the lemonade and light on the tea. It sthe only lemony flavor I ahve tried thus far. If she likes lime flavors, she may enjoy Parrothead from HHV.

 

[luvinit]

OH YEAH.... Parrothead is awesome! It's a creamy lime, like the pie.. not overly tart. I'm not sure about the lemon though,,, lemonades are pretty heavy on the sweet end, not so much tart there. She might really like the PMS (I like the abbreviation too)

 

[Reidus]

She tried my PMS while I was home. She wasn't particularly impressed. She liked Island Dream better. I sent her to Mr. E's site, along with the Arnie Pullmore rec. I suggested that she get small bottles of a variety of juices to see what she actually liked. I'm also going to send her some of my Icy Lemon Drops and see if she likes it. Thanks, guys.
My mailman never showed today. I guess I didn't have any mail. Hopefully, he'll deliver tomorrow before I have to leave for school.

 

[Reidus]

Oh, and y'all might appreciate this:
