Hi all. Hope y'all are having a great day!
Just placed my largest juice order to date! Ordered almost $60 worth of juice, and the only new things I'm trying are Dragon's cafe and Raspberry Vanilla Swirl. Everything else is my faves in a 6mg dose, lol. Next order, I'll order some 0mg juice so I can blend my remaining 12's, but not today, lol.

I can definitely relate to that! My last ECB order was just under $70, but it had to be done. Can't go without my Dragon flavors, especially my blood supply! :D

HI My name is Foxman and I'm a Vapoholic, lol. Also a freind of bill. I just rec'd my FIRST Batch of juice making materials for my FoxMochaNut and I'm diving in head first, lol

Hi Fox, and welcome to the party! I don't know if you've read through this thread or not, but we aren't like most "<insert bad habit here> anonymous" groups, because we tend to encourage each other to buy more stuff, not less! :2cool:

Hi all. Hope you're having a great day!
I'm loving my cartopipe, btw. i got some pipe-sauce with the pipe; it's really great with the pipe. I especially like the names of some of the juices; Longbottom Leaf, Shire Malt and Grandpa's Cough Medicine, for example.
Vape on guys. And Luv, I hope you're gonna be okay with Sandy on its way. Hang in there!

Hi lizards! Wow, low attendance here lately. I hope everybody's okay, what with Sandy.
Okay, I have an issue: I've moved from 12mg to 6mg juice. On the one hand, I'm less jittery. On the other hand, flavor's definitely lacking. I'm still using the 50/50 I've been using. Should I 1) bump up the PG ratio; 2) get double-extra flavor (on ECB of course); or 3) both?

Hi Reidus! I'm still at 18mg with 50/50, but if I was going to drop the nic levels I would probably try increasing the PG ratio to 70% or more to compensate. I've read that it helps with both the flavor and the TH, so it's probably a good thing if you're reducing your nic levels.

And BTW - Congrats on reducing your nic levels! :D

Woohoo! Experiment time! I'm first going to try a mix of my Berry shortcake; right now I have both 12 and 6 mg. I want to see if I can vape on 9mg w/o getting jittery. Next I'll order some 70/30 juice to see how much the flavor improves. From there, if I'm still not satisfied, I'll try double xf.

Mornin all. Hope y'all are having a great AM!
Great vape-mail yesterday! Finally got my custom trippy in. I"m still trying to find the perfect home for it, but for now it looks pretty darn good on Wilson:

And before anyone asks, it's an artist's representation of a fleur-de-lis.

Looks good Redius. I've finally got up the money for a V-Max and stalking the postman, lol

Good morning everyone... my apologies for not being around much. I've been terribly remiss in keeping up with my vaping buddies. I do pop in once in a while to check up on y'all, though. Reidus, I see you're still in acquisition mode! I agree, you definitely needed a pipe to sharpen your image. I haven't done much, vape-wise. Haven't ordered anything in..... well, seems like forever. I guess I've finally settled down and decided that what I have is all I need. The VMaxx I won from MVS does nicely for when I'm home and my Twists are perfect for work and out-and-about. I think the only hardware I may buy in the near future is a couple more 650 Twists... what everyone says is true, the size is perfect for the pocket. I did order some tank cartos and got those the other day. I'm done with clearos... no more vivi's or clearos. I just plain like DCT's so I think I'll stick with those. I've got, like, 10 of them filled at all times! As for juice, I've settled down with that too. HHV and MEL are my go-to vendors for that. I've noticed something about ECB... I have problems with their juice burning. I can't run anything much above 3.2 volts or so with ECB juices, especially my beloved Zoe. And I had tried Cheeky's Berry Shortcake and had the same issue with that. I love HHV's tobacco flavors so stick pretty closely to those and MEL has a few flavors I really like so I stick to those too.

Sandy didn't hit us too hard. We had some pretty high winds, and we were braced pretty well up here to deal with power outages and such, schools closed and people seemed to stay home where they belonged. We never lost power or anything, and all the wind blew the leaves out of my front yard, so we actually made out really well. Instead of 80 or so bags of leaves to rake this year, we'll have maybe 40. Sandy treated us pretty well. Makes me sad, though, to see what happened in NYC and NJ,, I recognized many of the places that got hit hard... been there.

Got a couple new MEL juices this week and I've been trying to leave them to steep, but we're going to the casino tonight and I'm jonesing for a new taste so I think I'll do Reidus' quick steep trick and load up a couple tanks to take with me.

I hope you're all well and vaping happy.. welcome to the new members of the club.. hold on to your wallets cuz we're a shoppin kinda bunch! Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Luv, it's so good to hear from you. You've been in my thoughts and prayers all this week what with Sandy and all that.
I'd like to think I've slowed down on the acquisition side of things also. I think I'm probably good to go with mods (famous last words, I know). I'm re-discovering my love of the carto tank as well, though I still love my Vivi and T2s for some juices. I really love my glass tanks, especially since the Boges seem to have recovered. I have to admit, I haven't noticed any problems with my ECB juices burning. I am vaping Dragon Tears on my Vivi at 4.8 volts on my twist w/o issue. My issue is flavor since I've dropped nicotine levels. I'm ordering some double XF juices, as well as some higher PG to see how that works out. Of course, it helps a bit that I started mixing my 12mg and 6mg juices to give me a 9mg. That tastes better and gives me just enough jolt.

Here's a pic of my FDL in scepter mode, lol. I've got it on one of my Phiniacs hanging off of my BP. With this, I plan to smite the Saints defense if they don't get off of their asses and play the damn game, lol.

Guys, I'm going to be on and off for a while over the next few days. My mother passed away this afternoon from a heart attack. I talked to her at lunch today and she complained of her chest hurting. I tried to talk her to go to the hospital, but she swore it was just stress from dealing with Beau (her lab). I tried again before we hung up and she said she would be fine. She laid down to take a nap and never woke up! Though she had high blood pressure, there was no evidence of heart disease, nor are heart attacks common in our family. Ladies, I'm harshly reminded of the fact that women often express heart attack symptoms quite differently from men. Please, please, please if your chest hurts, go to your doctor or hospital! I'm driving home tomorrow; I think I prefer driving to flying. I might change my mind; I'm still reeling.

Reidus - I don't have the words to express how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of mourning.
