Reidus.. I had to laugh at your coffee snafu.. can't tell you how many times I've done that. I even forgot to put the pot on and ended up with hot coffee all over the counter! :ohmy: Ohhhh, the shopping. I must do some of that too, because I've come to a couple of conclusions today. I'm done cleaning cartos. I use the boiling method and it works great. The only problem is, I filled up three cleaned cartos this morning and they were absolutely dead! Dead as a doornail. DAMMIT! My problem is, I don't know if they've been cleaned once, or twice, or what?? I'm going to throw out all my old cleaned cartos and stock up on fresh ones. The other issue is I have all different kinds and once I use them, I don't know what they are.. 1.7 or 2.0 or 3.0 or double coil or single coil.. I gotta come up with a system!

I've also decided I'm done with that darn Vivi. The first two tanks I had on it were fantastic. Everything after that has been horrible. I should NOT have to modify that thing to get it to work right. So I consider it a $15 experiment that went terribly wrong. I love Gotvapes, but I learned my lesson. I'll wait for others to be the guinea pigs before I buy anything else that's new. Their new Scorpion looks interesting, but not going there yet. The phoenix gets more good reviews than bad so I might try some of those. But I'll also stock up on regular ol cartos too.

I got a nice little package from CA today.. a couple things I never would have ordered that I'm just loving! Rice Krispity Treat and Mt. Do are divine!! Kiwi Strawberry is pucker up good. And the Smores... not a big fan of graham crackers but yummy! I'm saving all my empty bottles girls!

Proof that taste is subjective... Reidus likes MOV. I can't stand anything from there! I won a bottle in a contest and picked the Devilish Delight.. it was ok. What sucked me in was the owners,, they are the sweetest people!!! So I ordered two sampler packs.. love the tins they come in, love the bottles (but you're right, something about them makes them so easy to tip over!) I hated every one of them.. all 16 of them! I was devastated! How could I possibly tell those lovely people that I didn't like even one of them?? Well, I finally just PMd them and had to tell them,, they were so sweet. They tried everything to make me a happy customer but there's just something in their juices that I don't like at all. They have terrific customer service but my taste buds don't agree with something of theirs. I am glad though that people like their stuff.. they're pretty great people.

Reidus, you cannot go wrong with White Peach ala Zoe.. even on it's own with nothing extra added it's pretty fantastic. My next order will include cheeky's mix with the raspberry, one with extra vanilla and one plain. I also got a nice PM from Heather's.. offering a nice freebie with my next order. I've enjoyed all of the stuff I got from her.. Pineapple Mango Smoothie especially. Mocha Java Smoothie too. The Hot Chocolate is ok, but they're working on improving that one so might have to give it a shot.

Well, my favorite peeps in the whole world.. gotta get ready for work. I hope you all have a fabulous day!!!

I've already decided to try the Zoe's peach, but I'm also going to try Highbrow's Peach Thyrmba as well. I was reading the description: did you know he actually uses a reduction of fresh peaches? I'm calling him before ordering though. I want to see what to do about the problems I'm having with the Orange Sangre and tirimasu on my 1.7s. Do I order extra flavor? Different mix? Hopefully he knows some tricks. BTW, I think I remember you saying you didn't like coffees. Have you tried HBs Cappucino Diablo? I'm vaping it atm on my 2.0 boge.

Btw, if you're ordering cartos, Vaporbeast has 50 Boges for $59.95! Also, as far as keeping my cartos straight, I ordered my 1.7s in black and my 2.0s in stainless. Of course, since they're different sizes, it probably d/n matter but still!

As far as MOV, I definitely prefer their fruits. The Devilish delight was good, not great. The applewood tobacco is great more for the apple than anything else. Like I said, I hated the Frostbite. Haven't yet tried any of the others out my sample tins (I love those tins as well; reminds me old-fashioned pillboxes).

I just got off the phone with Brian at Highbrow. I started telling him how I loved his juices on my V2, but then I bought and E-power and tried it on my 1.7s. He interrupted me at this point and said "Tasted bad right?" When I agreed, he said it's too hot for some of his juices and he recommended that I use a 2.0 or higher, which is exactly what I thought. So I went ahead and ordered big (30 ml) bottles of Exotic tobacco blend with a touch of apple, Diablo with cream and sugar, Orange de Sangre, and a small bottle of the Peach Thymbra, all with extra flavor.

I can only go by what the vendor has provided in the product information. When I got my eGo-C, I got a kit that had the LR atties (at 1.8ohms), and when I order my Stardust (CE4+) clearos they're listed as LR at 2.1 to 2.4 ohms. Lower resistances are better when you have a lower output battery, such as my Joyetech eGo batteries at 3.3v. If you have a VV, then standard resistances between 2.5 and 3.0 are probably better as you'll have more room to make minor adjustments. I've only tried one carto (eGo mega dual coil carto) and I wasn't fond of it, so I couldn't tell you if the Stardust clearos would compare to a better carto.

I was just making a general statement about resistance only being a part of the performance, where design and distance from the coil to the mouth is another factor. So far for me, the best flavor with plenty of warm vapor comes from direct dripping, and I don't even have one of the better atties for dripping yet.

Thank you!!! I will try the LR Stardust...I have the SR and don't get much warmth or flavor. When I try it on higher voltage of the Ego C Twist it gets that burny taste and much flavor is not coming thru. I apologize for all the questions...it seems they all lead to more questions....lol

On an unrelated subject, I just put my Highbrow Tiramasu in my 1.7. Once again, a flavor i loved on my V2 carto is quite disappointing me. I'll load a Boge 2.0 and see if it's the same as the Orange Sangre. I finally get what people say about flavors being different on different devices, lol. What I'm getting from both of them is sort of a plasticky, bitter taste. I wonder if ordering it with extra flavor would help. Any advice?

Okie dokie Reidus...going to pick your brain...lol

I will look for responses as well because I know the exact "plasticky bitter taste" of which you refer and so far IMHO extra flavoring doesn't make much difference!! So what resistance/ohm/whatever are our V2 cartos because I have not been able to get the same effect with several things I've tried with my eGo...regular or twist! I am going to order some LR Stardust that BluGlen recommended to try but I switched back to V2s today and I've enjoyed my vaping more than I have since I ordered that darn Twist!! (even with the hassle of refilling several times!!)

What do you teach btw?

I hope you like them and they work out good for you. When you get them, run them at about 3.3v to 3.7v and you should get good results.

Bulldogz.. Chocolate sin is from ECBlends. It's fabulous!! I don't get any extra flavor or anything. It's a nutty kind of chocolate, hazelnut maybe? IDK, I'm not good at picking out individual flavors. I just know I LUV it!

Wish I could help with your carto search but I'm in kinda the same boat. Can't find what I really love.

BHam, I'm comin your way. To your site, I mean. A friend I converted three months ago needs new equipment. She has Elite 808s and has used the hell out of them & they're dying. She's an 808 girl all the way so she needs another 808 setup, but wants better battery life. I'm gonna go do some research and see what you have. Any advice, peeps??

2 things before I'm off to bed. First, what steeping method do you prefer. Generally, I just put them in a cool dark cabinet. Second, I haven't yet tried anything from deejstuff. What you would recommend I try?

I would just like to say that Cheeky had been bragging on DeeJ even before I popped my head in on the thread and she keep right on bragging just about every day....and by this time I have had orders from highbrow and BWB etc. I thought to myself yea...probably pretty good but how could it even compare to Orange DS, right? But I finally caved in and placed an order last week Friday. It was in my mailbox on Monday..OK very FAST shipping...I was impressed (it helps a little that he's only 2 hours away)...I ordered 13 different flavors and right outta the box I was very VERY happy I finally ordered!!! Every single one is something I'll order again!!! I'll be happy to make some reccomendations based on my very limited experience with him......let me know what you like and what you don't! He's definitley worth it!!!:thumbs:
"Vaping on a dry atty is like eating a bread sandwich."

I think that may be putting it too nicely :p

Yes, that is my dog Izzy...she's an American bulldog. Am quite upset with her presently as she attacked my other older Am bulldog but she is cute....smh...haven't decided what to do about that yet. Love them both.


Hey Bull nice to meet cha!!! So happy you've joined our little shopping support group!!! Yes, we SUPPORT eachother with our shopping habits!!! OH...I've got an American Bull Mix we just rescued...here's a pic of him with our Rotty girlphoto.jpg

They are my other 2 babies....
I think my juices are good (they are great in cartos)...have some from KBV, Highbrow, Johnson Creek, & misc others but I barely taste them (nic is 18)..maybe I need to go up in nic??? I get throat hit just not flavor??? Maybe my tastebuds are ruined & I should save my $ & do the pain in the ... V2s...lol

Someone may have already shared the following info so forgive me if I'm repeating...just haven't caught up yet...
Just a note on juices/flavor...increasing the NIC content will not do a thing with flavor...it is dependent on a few things
1) your vape setup
2) PG/VG mix (High PG = Higher flavor, High VG = more vapor)
3) the amount of flavoring in the juice
4) various contents of the juice
5) maybe other stuff I don't know ;)

The most controllable are the first 3 I'm a flavor person I need lots and lots of flavor in my juice or I'm just not a happy girl...I always start my orders with a minimum of 1x extra flavor with DeeJ I went 150% and ended up very happy. Changing the NIC content will only change TH and your craving...too much nic and you will vape yourself sick...which I have come close to doing on occasion :)
