Hi guys. Update: I'm safely ensconced at Mom's. I'm exhausted! I'll let y'all know more later.

Glad you're safe, dude! Say "Hi" to Mom for us! :D

I've finally had the chance to try all of the juices from my last ECB order, and here's a quick review:

Berry Shortcake (Cheeky's blend): Excellent desert vape. I love the blend of berries with the light cake mixed in, and it goes great with coffee. Especially decalf in the evening.

Blueberry Danish (Cheeky's blend): Another excellent desert vape. I prefer the Berry Shortcake to this one, but that's mainly because I like the mixed berry flavor over straight blueberry.

Dragon's Passion: Passion fruit is not my favorite fruit flavor, but they seem to have the mix right with this one. I really like this flavor and it's getting better the more it steeps. Pretty sure there will be a big bottle order in the future.

Dragon's Choice: Very smooth blend of banana and blueberry with the signature Dragon creaminess. If I were more of a fan of flavors with banana in the mix, this would be at the top of my list. It's very good, just not suited to my tastes.

Dragon's Kiss: Very nice mix of chocolate (dark I believe) and cherry flavors. The blend is very good, but like banana flavors, not really suited to my vaping tastes. If I find an ice cream with this flavor, however, I'll be all over it!

Dragon's Breath: This one reminds me of the chalky after dinner mints my grandmother use to have in a bowl on the coffee table. You know, the one's that look like tiny little pillows that many restaurants used to have at the check-in desk (and some still do). I'm really loving this flavor, especially when I need to take a break from my standard favorites, and it's definitely going to be a big bottle order in the near future.

In other news, the Dragon's Dream that I thought was too bitter (almost an orange peel flavor) has steeped for several more weeks and is much better now. I had thought that I would have to blend this one with some vanilla, but it seems that it just requires more steep time than other flavors. Learning more every day it seems! :D

Mornin everyone.. glad to know that Reidus is safe and sound out of NO,, they're getting hit pretty hard, again.

Nice reviews, Glen... I'm not a big fan of the blueberries either. I got a blueberry muffin from HHV the other day and it's kinda good but I guess I'm just not a blueberry fan. It's certainly not unvapable but not one I could do all day. The steeping thing is really weird to me,, much as I love HHV stuff right out of the mail, given a couple weeks they get SO much better and I haven't found that with a lot of the other juices I have (from all over the universe!)

I had a little freak out yesterday,, vacation coming up and I get so worried I won't have enough STUFF to take with me.. it's stupid, I know. Good grief, I think I have enough juice to last me a year or more. But I'm dangerously low on my Just Peachy and that's the one I always go back to. And I've given away all my Pineapple Mango Smoothie with all the converts. So HHV order placed and thought as long as I'm at it I did a DV order for some tank cartos and one of the Kanger T2s. FINALLY,,,, I'm going to try a T2!!

Have you guys seen the wood drip tips from Brett at Bull Box Mods? You must check them out.. they're fabulous! I've always liked the look of the glass ones, but I'm a bit of a clutz and I'd be awfully upset if I dropped my pv and broke a $20 glass tip. Those wood ones are shweeeeeeet! He's making some stone ones too.. he says they're big, I'm guessing about the size of those ming tips we got in the co-op. I think I have to have one. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...970-new-wood-acrylic-tru-stone-drip-tips.html

Whoohooo LUV!!!

Glad to hear you're safe and sound Reidus!!

Well had a scary incident yesterday...my dual battery charger blew up! Thank God no batteries were in it! It was a Trust Fire...it was plugged in and my hubby went to grab a book that was below the cord, he grabbed the book which brushed against the cord and the cord blew out of the plug! OMG...no one hurt and it tripped the breaker so nothing damaged...but jeeezee now I'm so afraid of plugging in any charger...

Now about purchases...in addition to a new dual battery charger....I'm thinking about adding a couple of items to my "kit." First for flying I think I'm going to pick up a few Twists Mount Oly has Twists now for 17.99 (that's good right?) but I have to buy a charger (sold all mine) and clearomizers etc. LUV you're the expert here, tell me what I should pick up. Also, a co-op is getting together for a Zmax for total (inc. tax/shipping) for $77...tempting...VW....hhuuummmmm for a very tempting price, might be worth a try :)

As for juice I'm trying not to order until this weekend, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that sales will be abundant!! I need more HHV and can hardly wait to place a big AiV order!!

Hope all are happy and safe!!!

Thanks guys,, and yes. There will be a full review when I get it & figure it all out. Not only is it shiny, it's got some cool features!

Myth, I've actually been thinking about a couple new twists. I've got the 1100mah and live them but they ARE quite long for carrying around. I think I'd do the 650s and get two. You'll also need an ego charger and wall adapter. The vapor girl has beautiful paisley design twists, they aren't genuine but she's up front about that and DAM they're purdy! They're a little pricier though. I use DCTs, and I have a little sleeve so the threads don't show, and I use the mop heads fom HHV.

With that Lambo I guess I've got some extra stuff that I could sell. I've got an Epower that I haven't used in forever, and a bunch if batteries and a couple chargers. OH & thank goodness nobody got hurt with the exploding charger!!! I keep forgetting mine & leaving it plugged in, guess I won't do that anymore!

YES...Please unplug it when not in use!!!! Also, send me an email with what you're thinking of parting with. I'm so afraid of taking my Provari traveling (although I read the travel thread extensively today and didn't read any horror stories but a good tip is to take a self addressed stamped envelope in case TSA says it can't go on the plane) but I don't really need another big investment setup since it will be of limited use :) Especially if I'm going to go in on the Zmax Co-op...my hubby just might kill me :D

Oh if anyone is interested in trying Alice they are having 20% off for Labor Day code is "1894" (no quotes)

Hi folks! Well I've been watching the news pretty continuously the last couple of days (luckily, one of our local channels provided live streaming news coverage during the entire time, so I was able to get much better info than the weather channel or God forbid, the local Atlanta news, which claimed that the New Orleans levees had breached, which was thankfully untrue). New Orleans itself weathered the storm quite well, apparently, with mostly downed trees and power outages. Which is a great relief for me. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for some of the suburbs (which is where the ATL channel made it's mistake). I'm waiting on word on my house itself. My next door neighbor hunkered down at one of the downtown hotels. I talked to her on Tuesday night; she and her girlfriends were having a grand time, she was even up around $150 at the casino. I'm hoping my power will be back on sometime this weekend so I can drive back on Sunday or Monday.
Luv, gratz on the win. That looks a whole lot like my chrome Lavatube. You'll hopefully love it, though if it's like mine, you can use it as a weapon if need be (it's quite heavy :D).
Myth, I don't think the Ego's at Mt. Olympus are actually twists. From the description, you can toggle between 3.3 and 4.2. That's not how the Twists work.
Speaking of sales, Deejstuff has their juices 25% off with the code: Work harder Deej.
I"m planning a raod trip to Stormy Vapers Cellar probably tomorrow. Turns out it's about the same distance from Mom's house as Heather's is (bad grammar; need more coffee :laugh:).
Y'all have a great day!

Oh and Luv? Mom likes the Kangers better than the Stardusts as well. She likes that they're easier to load, virtually impossible to over-fill, and easier to change the heads (the bottom doesn't unscrew). From my standpoint, I can use them on my lavatube w/the recessed connection, since they have 2 airholes in the sides, rather than the 2 slots along the bottom like the Stardusts. Also, one of the sites carrying the T2's have started calling them "Sunfires", lol.

Reidus...expecting a full report live from the vape shop! Thanks for the info on the charger and DeeJ.....anyone got any news on any sales going on at HHV?? LUV???

Reidus...any special coupon code for Labor Day?

I have found that while that I am fine with spending $$$$ on juice I always get a bit hesitant when it comes to hardware...silly I know but it is nonetheless.....

No sales at HHV for the holiday.. they're SUPER busy with all the good publicity they've been getting lately so they didn't feel the need to try and drum up more business with a sale. I placed an order Tuesday night and it just shipped today, she mixes each bottle by the order,, not big batches but each individual bottle... can you imagine?? So it's taking them a bit longer to get stuff out. Uncle Phil's review really made a big impact for them.

got the Lambo kit today.... all I can say is ... WOW!!! Basically it's a lavatube, but big redesign since the old one I had. Very pretty chrome, whole new kind of connection on the top. It comes with an atomizer.. you know me with atomizers... but this one works really well! It came with a nice chrome drip tip with a big hole you can drip down.. it works great!! And all my DCTs work on it too.. not sure the stardusts or mopheads will work but hoping the Kangers work... and glad to hear mom is liking them too, Reidus. Gives me hope!!

More on the Lambo later.. I gotta get ready for work..
have a great day lizards!!!

Hey ya'all!

I took a break from purchasing for a couple weeks (it feels like forever) other than I purchased a set of clearomizers from VaporNine during their 24 hour 50% off sale and love them!!!! I'm glad I bought 6, but I want more and I am anxiously watching them for their next sale.

Then, I had tried a 6ml size bottle of MEL's Strawberry Ice and could not put it down. Last night, when I emptied the last of the bottle into the clearomizer...I became sad....so sad. I talked to Jake and he mentioned that he needed me to refill his clearo with English Meadows...he was nearly out too. I told him I would order more....and he said yeah. So I placed a juice order this morning! Yay!

I'm getting a bottle of Coca Cola Vanilla (I tried the cherry and it is pretty good, but I think I will like Vanilla better) and a large bottle of Jade Ice (I loved the strawberry, but I bet the Jade will be fantastic) and of course a large bottle of the English Meadows for Jake. Yay for juices!

I am keeping an eye out for Labor Day sales from : VaporNine, Vapor4Life, Mister E-Liquid (I would order more if the deal was right) and HHV (Jake really wants a large bottle of Gandalf and I am fond of Huntsman.)

Reidus: I'm glad your safe and I hope you home survived with little to no damage!

Mythus: I'm glad the battery charger was not catastrophic.

Cheeky: Hi! I hope you are doing ok!

Luv: I have my fingers crossed for both of us to win at MEL's contest thread!
