Vapaholics Anonymous - Part 2

[BuGlen]

Yep, you make us all look positively Angelic Glen
So, do I get to taste your Green Tea on Saturday? You can even call me evil to my face then!

I'd like to come to the meet this go around, but I will probably be finalizing my car shopping and beginning the evil process of negotiating price. I've narrowed it down to the 3rd Gen Prius and the Honda Crosstour. Still doing the right-brain / left-brain thing and trying to figure out if cool style and looks beat out geeky gadgets and fuel economy.

Have you ever thought about doing a Happy Hour (or Vappy Hour) meet on a Friday night? That would be much easier for me to attend because I'm already on that side of the bay for work. In any case, if I don't make this meet, I'll definitely give it my best to attend Vapestock in June.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Bummer! would love to meet you, and there is a couple that just bought a 3rd Gen Prius that will likely be at the meet (they bought it just before last months meet), so they might be able to help you make the decision

I'd be up for a Vappy Hour one of these nights, but not on the same weekend as a vapemeet - I'm learning to be smart about my limitations rather than pig headed & stubborn about ignoring them Not sure where you work exactly, but anything on Ulmerton/Roosevelt should be okay for me, even as far down as Carillon (I miss it - my office is in the parkway - maybe I can fit a visit in to the same day... hrmm....).

Still think you should come play on Saturday and leave the negotiating for Sunday

We should do a Vappy Hour then, maybe to kick off Memorial Day weekend. I'd like to meet you and Iron Monkey as well, and anyone else in the area that we could get Vappy with. I work in Carillon, at Raymond James home office as an IT geek to be precise. Any place in the area that's vape friendly on a Friday night (indoors preferably since it's getting hotter) is good with me.

Speaking of being evil, I don't know if anyone has seen these over at DV yet, but they look really cool.

CE5+ (rebuildable Stardust clearomizer): CE5+ Rebuildable Clearomizers

E1 ReVive (another rebuildable clearomizer design): E1 - ReVive Clearomizer with eGo-c Base

Looks like Imma need another DV order here pretty soon!

Lol, I've been stalking the E1's for days...managed to snag 2 blue and a purple...YAYAYAYAY!!!
Also I bought 2 of the 650 Twists the day they came out, and they've been performing flawlessly. I use them when I'm going out fancy schmancy with the DH

 

[Mythus2012]

Awesome vape-mail day! DAMN!! Did you just get the Stardusts on sale with the short wicks, or did you pick up the new version from DV?

Also, about dripping.. Have you ever dripped a flavor that just doesn't seem to want to go away? I have the Creamy Vanilla flavor from Unsmoke.us, and it's really dry. Not bad, but not real good either, just meh. I dripped about 4 drops in the atty and the flavor dominated the atty for a good 90 minutes, through several other drips and a couple of dry burns. I won't be doing that again.

Yea Glen, sometimes that happens, usually with really STRONG flavors!!! They can really stick around a while. I think dripping some unflavored through can help but can't speak from experience I haven't tried I've only heard. Actually I've heard that strong cinnamons (like atomic candies etc.) can ruin an atty for life....menthols can really stick for a while as well. Might be a good idea to keep some dedicated attys lying around if you are going to move to dripping

Vappy hour on the 25th is out for me unfortunately - I have an appt with the neurosurgeon that afternoon, so I won't be up for anything else (darn that pacing myself thing!), and the Bella Tank sale is that evening - can't miss that!

I'm an Aegon/Transamerica girl - we're work neighbors (assuming I ever get released to return!) we could try Courtyard or the Venue (if it's reopened) - might need to contact them ahead of time to verify they'll allow vaping indoors, or we can always just go to AJs (not nearly as nice, but very vape friendly!). You're right about it getting hotter - I'm having a love/hate relationship with that these days - plus side is that my pool is now warm enough to swim in (and no cold shock getting out!), downside is that it's bloody hot out there! 90s in May - yish! Other great thing? I don't have to go outside to smoke every again!!!

I had a really stubborn cinnamon that required 3 full days of vodka bathing to remove - I almost gave up on it, but figured I might as well find out what it would take/if it was even possible, and it worked! Vodka=

 

[Mythus2012]

LOL! well, you're in the right place Reidus! Unfortunately, I can't recommend a good LR atty - I'm still looking for one I really like! The bridgeless atties are pretty nice, but I'm not in love with the ones I have. I think Mythus might be able to chime in and recommend one - I hear great things about the 306's

Oh my...have I been negligent in my duties...Hey Reidus!!! Nice to meet you...I'm not familar with the set up you have but if you have a 510 connection you shouldn't have a problem. My experience is with ego-T, LT and Provari just so you know where i'm coming from. You may need to pick up an adaptor, you can find an adaptor for almost anything you want to do, just have to look in the right place

The best atty's around for dripping IMHO are either 306s or i06s....but here's the deal with 306s as I've said before all 306s are not created equal, except that they will all fit on a 510 connection. They range in size (so the drip tip you have for one will not necessarily fit on another), in length and hit, vapor production and flavor will all change from style to style so trial and error is the only way to find your favs...I wish there was a better way since they range in price from $6-$10 each but its just not the case. Of course my favs tend to run about $10 each. The time that they last depends on a lot of things type of juice your using (some can burn an atty in a few days) if you clean them, at least weekly, you tend to get more use out of them but not necessarily.

Also try i06s I really love these too but they've been very hard to get because ikenvape.com is the only one to make them and their site has been down for a while because of issues...I'm praying that he gets up and running very, very soon!!! Not only for my sake but, for Issac's too!! He must be losing a TON of money!!! I would also suggest that you grab a drip shield or sleeve (gratefulvapor.com) or something similar (Vapure makes a nifty little gadget DCA cup which works AWESOME!!). 306s and i06s tend to leak (especially when over dripping which I tend to do because I LOVE the flavor) so until you do be sure to carry a paper towel or napkin around with you! But again, 306s are sized differently so just because your sleeve/cup will fit with one they will not FIT all. I believe most are sized for Cisco (sp?) attys.

If you like 510s 306 or i06 will blow your mind. You can always try 510 debriged....I think those are a bit better than regular 510 (again IMHO) but everything is so objective....its all about what you like.

OK I think I've rambled enough...let me know if you have any quesitons and I'll do my best to answer with the best I've got

And please pop in anytime...

Uuummmm do I click "post quick reply?" LOL

SV101 is a coconut, chocolate & hazelnut concoction of goodness, one of my favorites! I think I've managed to make a pretty close replica with the Wizard at ECB - if it steeps as well as I think it will, I'll order a big bottle and send you a sample to try! I should warn you that it's best dripped, or in a Stardust (or other clearo probably). Cartos seem to mute the flavor a bit too much for me - maybe the Vivi?

I'm so glad you mentioned what was in the SV101 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! I spent 2 hours last night just trying all the vapemail I received!!! (between my special FL package and my DeeJ order) Oh and I LOVE RY4 from ECB...wow I would NEVER have ordered it but I found that I just can't put it down in the morning and in the evening...just amazing...I think there was only one in there that I said uh...maybe not (peanut butter cup. after trying peanut butter this and peanut butter that...I've found that peanut butter vape is on my list of "I don't think so")

Your Hella Icy Plum Drops do sound good! I may have to try them at some point in the future

Oh me too!!! LUV made it sound simply wonderful didn't she???

Today was an awesome vapemail day, I was expecting 2 packages, but instead got 5!! ECBlend, discount vapers (great stardusts!), a buy from the classies, samples from California, and my first Trippy tip!! (THANK YOU!!!! YOU Rock!!!

OOHHHH....good you got everything...I'm SO very HAPPY!!! I hope you absolute LOVE it!!!!! Please tell me its everything you expected and wanted and its safe and....

Well, I got my first order from DeeJ...WOW, I ordered on Friday and arrived on Monday... to bad he's moving...I didn't realize he is just up the road in LA!!! So awesome for quick orders!!! Everything I got was superfantabulous!!!! Cheeky...why didn't you tell me sooner??!?!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAH Wow I mean there wasn't a thing that I said "maybe not" to....and right outta the box too! I will definitely be ordering again and I'm going to be checking EVERY Wednesday to see whats on sale....the raspberry lemonade was good but have to say that I LOVE the pomegrante lemonade....thank goodness I ordered 30ml!!

Love y'all

 

[Mythus2012]

This place really is a bad influence, lol. My first was Highbrow, which I really like. My favorite there was the Orange Sangre

Yes we are, sorry......

Oh Highbrow is one of my FAVS!!! And I think Orange DS is my absolute FAV from there!!!! Which reminds me I need to order more....excuse me...

YAY! The SV101 is the bomb, but ordering from smartvapes is... difficult at best, which is why I ordered 3x30ml bottles, and why I'm working on perfecting a ECB wizard version of it - I'll send you samples when I think I have it close to perfected
The RY4 - swoon! I never would have ordered it either, but a friend of mine basically stuck his PV in my face & said "try this" at the last meet... it was love at first vape, and he almost didn't get his LT back! If you order just make sure you get DXF as well as extra vanilla and caramel - the straight RY4 is good, but the extras are what blow it out of the water!
Stash your peanut butter cup sample away somewhere and try it again later - I wasn't a big fan of it (or any other peanut butter anything for that matter!), but this afternoon it sounded good, and... yum lol I've been dripping it for hours now! The chocolate is suddenly popping at 4.0v on the LT with a standard atty. Whoda thunk it?

OOHHHH....good you got everything...I'm SO very HAPPY!!! I hope you absolute LOVE it!!!!! Please tell me its everything you expected and wanted and its safe and....

It's beautiful! I think I need to find smaller o-rings for it (or lube it up before use) - it's a tight fit - not a complaint, I'm glad it won't just slip slide out of it's carto! I think it's going to look amazing on the red & silver REO mini that should be arriving in the next day or so! Did I mention I bought a REO mini from the classies over the weekend...? teehee

Well, I got my first order from DeeJ...WOW, I ordered on Friday and arrived on Monday... to bad he's moving...I didn't realize he is just up the road in LA!!! So awesome for quick orders!!!

LOL!!! My bad... I should have beaten deejstuff into your head sooner LOL!!! Even after he moves, expect lightning fast shipping - he sends me packages on a Friday and they're in my box by Monday, from Cali to the Suncoast of Florida! He has magical shipping fairies working for him Just wait until his juices steep... magic! I think his fairies sprinkle pixie dust into the juice before he adds the droppers and tops What did you order from him other than the superfantabulous pomegranate lemonade (I've been thinking about a pomegranate champagne order...). He's a genius in the Mixorium, and I stalk firekitty almost as hard as I stalk my mailman! Love the stuff, and will order from him for as long as he's willing to send me juices!

Oooh! More motivation to come to VapeStock... deej will be in attendance as a guest rather than a vendor, but he has promised to bring juices!!! *swoon*

Love y'all

you too!

Also I bought 2 of the 650 Twists the day they came out, and they've been performing flawlessly. I use them when I'm going out fancy schmancy with the DH

I'll probably snag the CE5+ first to check that out since I'm getting good results from the CE4+ clearos, and I'll wait for some more reviews on the E1. The eGo-C Twist batteries on on the short list for sure.

Yea Glen, sometimes that happens, usually with really STRONG flavors!!! They can really stick around a while. I think dripping some unflavored through can help but can't speak from experience I haven't tried I've only heard. Actually I've heard that strong cinnamons (like atomic candies etc.) can ruin an atty for life....menthols can really stick for a while as well. Might be a good idea to keep some dedicated attys lying around if you are going to move to dripping

Yup. You know I'll be getting more atties on my next order. The one I got is decent enough (it's a bridged 510), but I do want to try out some of the others that are getting good reviews. Then I'll stock up on the ones I really like.

Vappy hour on the 25th is out for me unfortunately - I have an appt with the neurosurgeon that afternoon, so I won't be up for anything else (darn that pacing myself thing!), and the Bella Tank sale is that evening - can't miss that!

I'm an Aegon/Transamerica girl - we're work neighbors (assuming I ever get released to return!) we could try Courtyard or the Venue (if it's reopened) - might need to contact them ahead of time to verify they'll allow vaping indoors, or we can always just go to AJs (not nearly as nice, but very vape friendly!). You're right about it getting hotter - I'm having a love/hate relationship with that these days - plus side is that my pool is now warm enough to swim in (and no cold shock getting out!), downside is that it's bloody hot out there! 90s in May - yish! Other great thing? I don't have to go outside to smoke every again!!!

I'm not going to come between you and a tank sale. I know better! Maybe the following Friday on the 1st will work better.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

You are a wise man my friend!
The 1st should be okay for me - I'll see if I can get some more interest at the meet on Saturday, maybe we can make it a regular thing in addition to the terrific meets Dereck organizes every month! If not, I'll come vape with you (but you really ought to cross the bridge for the meets - they're a lot of fun with tons of juices to sample, great people, and some terrific raffle prizes - no one leaves empty handed!). I wasn't sure what to expect at my first meet, and was a little hesitant to walk into a group of strangers who all knew each other, but the group was super welcoming, and all of my new people hesitations were gone within minutes

[Reidus]

Hi folks, I'm back. Mythus, I'm looking at the Cannon 1.8ohm dripping atty at Ikenvapes. Yes it's back up. I'll probably get it once i get back from spending a week with the family. As far as juices go, I'm in LOVE!! You guys are right; ECBlends rock! The RY4 is quite good (I can't decide if I prefer theirs to Highbrows though), but I'm in love with Dragon Blood!!! I'm vaping it right now I've still got 3 more to try: Chocolate Mint Coconut Crunch; Coffee my way (I'm trying that one in the morning, lol) and the Chocolate Sin they set as a freebie. I'm too busy grooving on the DB to move on right now though

My 2.0 Boges should be arriving tomorrow and I'm going to try the Orange Sangre on those and see if it makes a difference. My bet is it will.

 

[Reidus]

Oh and Cheeky? I haven't done a vodka bath since college, lol.

 

[Reidus]

If you haven't already been there, there's a thread titled Metaphors, Similes and Analogs you need to check out! 2 of my favorites (and this is just on the first page:

"Analogy: Big batt mods fit in men's pockets the way silicone fits under skin".

and you Florida folks should appreciate this one:

"Using a decrepit carto is like wearing a pair of underwear you found on the beach."

STOP! DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT 200$! LET YOUR COFFEE STEEP!! Try the chocolate sin or the chocolate mint coconut crunch (also better steeped, but less necessary than the coffee!)

Also, dragons blood is great straight out of the mail, but in a week or so it will be so significantly better that you'll wish you'd ordered a bigger bottle to have steeping in your stash drawer (or in my case, steeping box lol)
