Method for ATTIES this is where I use an alcohol bath! :)
1.) Pour drinkable vodka into a shallow or narrow dish/glass/receptacle of your choice.(it can be the cheap icky stuff you don't actually want to drink - some use rubbing alcohol, but... I'd rather use something I know is safe for me to drink lol)
2.) Add your atties to the vodka & allow to soak - 15-30minutes (or whenever you get back to it), for relatively fresh atties
3.) Blow it out (from connector end), attach to battery & dry burn. If you don't see glowing coils quickly, or you still have stink from a stubborn juice wafting in your face, repeat steps 1-3, allowing to soak longer if needed.
4.) If you are dry burning for more than one run, add a drop or two of VG or a VG/PG mix so you don't pop the coil
5.) Once your atty is clean (you see the glow, trust me, you'll know!), apply a few drops of VG or VG/PG mix before storing. You want your atties to be lightly primed (lubed), as they will keep better.

****If you have a particularly stubborn juice and don't want to give up on the atty, keep soaking in Vodka! I've soaked atties for DAYS in the vodka bath in order to get rid of the stubborn juice, with no ill effects on the atty :)
Some people do choose to use Everclear, and that may be a better bet for the most stubborn of juices, but cheap vodka seems to work very well!!

I do it just a bit differently...although I do use the cheapest Vodka I can find Walmart/Stater Bros brand 1.75 for $10 Don't you DARE touch the SKY for this!!!!! I have an ultrasonic jewerly cleaner that I fill with vodka toss in the attys run it for 4-5 cycles rinse it with a little water, blow it out from the battery end and leave it to dry overnight.

Deej's sale of the week (sorry bout that! he thought Tuesday was Monday, so didn't post or send out until sometime yesterday lol): 50% off of Chocolate Almond Ecstasy, all sizes, limit 2 bottles
More suggestions for ECB:
Peach Watermelon Cantaloupe - refreshing, clean, light, lovely
Thin Mint Cookies - just like the girlscout cookie, saved me from the evil little girls who set up tables outside of EVERY grocery around here each year.
RY4 - double extra flavor, extra vanilla, extra caramel - this juice surprised me! A friend "forced" me to try it at the last vapemeet, and that was that, I was in love (he was lucky to get his LT & the tank filled with RY4 back lol). This is smooth, with very little "tobacco" flavor to it. Delicious - I'm most of the way through a 30ml and have a 50ml steeping.
Green Monster - another tobacco, another surprise! (I have disliked every tobacco I've tried with the exception of 3 from ECB) This has bright mint at the forefront with a touch of vanilla, and a very mellow, smooth tobacco in the background. It reminds me of unwrapping the cellophane and removing the foil top from a pack of menthols, bringing it up to my nose, and taking a big, deep sniff. Very clean, no ashtray or burning flavor. I'm most of the way through a 30ml of this and have have another 50ml steeping (just like the RY4!)
White Peach ala Zoe with Vanilla & Raspberry - yum
Dragons Tear (the strawberry version of Dragon's blood - they just came out with "dragon's dream" which is an orange cream version - it's on my list for my next order!)
Pear
Cherry Swirl (Iron Monkey's favorite, but it is the juice that destroyed a stardust, so use with caution)
Menthol - 100% VG - great palate cleanser and nice when you want a light, crisp vape

There are so many good juices to choose from at ECB that it's hard to narrow it down!

Thanks Cheeky you HAD to mention Dragon's Tear right?? You just HAD to???? Well, I think I only have a days worth of Dragon's blood left so Oh well...time to reorder anyway...hahahahaha ;)

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!!!!

Yaaayyyy!!!!!!! I can't believe it took soooooo long....that was like an entire week...but sounds like it was worth the wait! I know tons of things I'm loving that I would have NEVER ordered....we are all lucky girls!!! Oh me too, I've even bought some so I'm PREPARED!!:thumbs:

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.

For the most part I have to agree with LUV...I've got MOV stuff still hanging around from 3 months ago that I keep hoping I will like someday...but just don't...I like their fruity minty stuff but the coffee, pancakes, etc. bleck....But they are SOOOOOO sweet I really wish I liked them better, I've tried, I just don't. LOVE the bottles though...

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.

Can I get a Hell Yeah?!?!?!?!????!?!?!

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.

Thanks for sharing!!!

This is going to look AWESOME on Woody! :D
Gorgeous Glen! I can't wait to see it all put together!

I always have it with me silly woman !! It's awesomness !
Then to quote a well known reviewer... Can I Taste your juice? :p
OMG I LOVE the TRIPPY on the Reo!!!! YOU GO GIRL.....Makes me want to go shopping!!! Tell me how do you like the Reo?
That Trippy was made for Foxy Roxy (the mini) - remember me saying that I needed thinner o rings because I couldn't get it to fit? No more! Slips into the super shorty cartos like Cinderella's foot into the glass slipper!
I'm in love with Foxy -the size is perfect for me, and is easy to use even when my hands decide numb is fun - love Squonkette the grand for battery life and juice capacity, buy Foxy... She is special, and it should be easy enough to carry and extra bottle & battery if needed -they're bitty like Foxy!
:wub: really love the shorty cartos on her... A whole lot of love in a teeny tiny package!
Oh yeah, if you haven't figured it out, her name is Foxy Roxy lol

I do it just a bit differently...although I do use the cheapest Vodka I can find Walmart/Stater Bros brand 1.75 for $10 Don't you DARE touch the SKY for this!!!!! I have an ultrasonic jewerly cleaner that I fill with vodka toss in the attys run it for 4-5 cycles rinse it with a little water, blow it out from the battery end and leave it to dry overnight.

Evenin all,,, ahhhhh, home from work and I got shopping to do. Unfortunately, not for me :( My friends mom, who I converted several months ago has used the hell out of her Elite 808s and is looking for something with better batt life. The bad part is, she wants no part of the whole filling blank cartos thing and really likes CigEasy's prefilled cartos, so she wants to stay with the 808. I can't find anything in 808 that will last anywhere near what even a KGO will last. So I have to do some shopping around for her.

Reidus,, that tank is shweeeeet! Gonna be gorgeous on that woody! Y'know, Highbrow was one of my first liquid vendors. I absolutely loved the Keoke Coffee and the Cappucino Diablo. My second order included that Peach Thrymba and it was awful! I can't really remember what all I ordered but didn't like any of them. Now I have to wonder if it was a carto issue???? Hmmmm, maybe!

Cheeky, your caddy is pretty nice!! And I see you've got it filled right up!

Well, I guess I too need to do a deej order.. before long we're gonna be ready for another trade!

Morning, folks! How are y'all this fine morning? I've got my coffee buzz and my nic fix and I'm doing fine! I'm planning on cleaning house this AM and getting around to cleaning cartos. BTW, I started on my e-power, and after a bit decided to go back and try my V2s again (I was in a menthol mood and the V2 menthol is the best I've found so far). I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I was a bit surprised; I figured that once I got my EP I'd hate the V2s. Guess not! I want to the V2 site and found out that the new V2s are 4.2v straight off the charger and move to 3.7. Exactly like my EP, lol. Don't worry, I'm not abandoning my EP; it's nice to know though that I have alternatives. Thiis leads me to a question: I'm assuming the cartos for the V2 are SR; anyone know of any good 510 SRs?
