Vapaholics Anonymous - Part 2

[Reidus]

I know what you mean; I've already tossed the cartridges that came with my kit. I think I'm gonna try the dc carto at deej. I'm also gonna order a spare battery and switch while I'm at it. He's one of the few places that carry the 14650s as well as the switch.
BTW, ECBlend sent me a card with the discount code on it and it's gone to live with Jesus! Anybody know the code?

 

[CheekyMonkey]

The ECB code is 10020 - 20% off, good on all of your orders

 

[Reidus]

I just noticed something a bit strange on Deejs site: I can order 6ml bottles using the six-pack for $33.15. This equates to $.552 cents/ml. I can order a 10ml bottle on it's own for $.55. What gives, I wonder? Does the six-pack come in some kind of tin or something?
Yes I know .002 cents is miniscule. But hey! I teach Accounting. Number-crunching's what I do!

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Haha! Financial accounting is one of the only math disciplines I understand (thanks to my insurance industry certs lol)

I think the thing you have to factor in is the cost of the bottles plus the additional time - if you order 10ml on it's own, you're paying for the labor on one bottle, plus one bottle. If you order the sampler, he has to make up 6 different flavors plus six separate bottles, so you're actually getting a better deal than you think

Sorry, Cheeky, but that doesn't work. I could order the 6 bottles separately and save a whopping one cent! It doesn't really matter though; I find it easier to order each separately anyway; that way, I can read reviews, etc. The reason I'd consider the 6 pack is for the "Surprise me" option. Which I'm tempted to do as part of my order anyway, lol.

 

[hairball]

I just placed an order for Hangsen juices. 600mls for $50. Darn good stuff. I wrote a review for them in the eliquid review section. Oh by the way, that price was with shipping included.

 

[Reidus]

Just place my order with ECBlends:
Dragon's Blood
Dragon's Cream
Dragon's Tears
Green Monster
Peach Watermelon Cantaloupe
Thin Mint
White Peach ala Zoe, W/Vanilla and Raspberry
All with extra flavor.
Hope they're as good as y'all say. The only one I've tried before is Dragon's blood, which I love!
Oh and you guys were right: Coffee my way is horrible! So far, I've only found 2 coffees I like, the V2 coffee (go figure) and Highbrow's Cappucino diablo w/cream and sugar.

 

[Reidus]

Oh, and my Shotgun ammo case is working out better than I expected. I'm storing the cartos of the juices I like in the 1st rack, which holds 50 shells. I've got a spreadsheet going which tells me what carto is in what slot (I'm an accountant after all). I'll just print it out before I leave and take it with me. I can store the tins containing the juice underneath the racks or to the side, and I can take it all with me on my roadtrip to Atlanta.

aaaaan that's why I'm not an accountant lol

WOW! Fantastic deal hairball! What flavor(s) did you order??

Just place my order with ECBlends:

The caramel macchiato from ECB is the only coffee I've really loved (and I've tried quite a few!) - it required several weeks of steeping, but was absolutely divine once steeped!

Of the flavors you ordered, the Dragon's Cream is the only one I've yet to try, but it's in my basket, just waiting for me to place my next order! Everything you ordered, with the exception of the Peach Watermelon Cantaloupe will need a week or so of steeping to reach it's full potential, but they will all be good out of the mailbox!

Something else to keep in mind is that extra flavor (and particularly DXF), and alter the flavor of the juice, and not always for the good. If you find that you have a juice that tastes a little funky, even after steeping, try mixing a bit of it with VG or PG (or a mix of the two), and see if that brings it to a better place for your tastebuds

**Everything you ordered should be wonderful with XF though, just a heads up for future orders - I made the mistake ordering Orange Cream with DXF on my very first order & it was bleh... on the flip side, I love the RY4 with DXF plus extra vanilla & caramel

Pictures please!!! It sounds like a great idea, I just can't picture it in my head

But-but then where would I put my shotgun shells?

The only reason I'm ordering extra flavor atm is that my taste buds are still in recovery mode. 6 days smoke-free, btw!!!

I'll see what I can do. Got a smart-phone; need to figure out how to use it, lol. I"ll probably wait and do it once I'm in Atlanta; my nephews are the tech-savvy ones.

 

[Mythus2012]

Mythus, this sounds like something that belongs in the thread "101 ways to use E-cigs to pick up chicks". ;-)

Reidus...please feel free.... LOL!!!

 

[Mythus2012]

Hi all....I hope everyone is having a fab day!! I spent most of the morning checking out the woodies... The took the fam to see the avengers... Which I have to say was pretty good!! I'm now some depressed... All of my Zoe is gone along with my ry4 and sv101... Ugh!!! Yes there was stealth vaping happening at the theater!!!!

Congrats for joining the dark side Cheeky!!! Provaris are Epic!!! I didn't realize how much I loved it until I had only my LT for a week or so...it's good, but just NOT the Provari!!!

Tryin to talk he hubby into doing a little runnin around with me but I don't think I'm going to win that battle so I think I'm just going to sit in the sun and read for a spell oh... And vape of course...


Have a great Saturday... And a fab time at the vape meet!!! Vape on my friends!!!

Nice order! Let me know how the Dragon's Blood and Dragon's Tear work out with the extra flavor. I like the subtle notes in each, and I don't know that I would like it with XF, but I'm willing to try anything once if it comes with a good recommendation. Also, if you like Green Tea, try the Tea Your Way (Green Tea) with extra sweetener. I've been vaping that all week and it has a nice mellow sweet flavor with a good TH. The original 15ml bottle is almost gone already, so I guess I'm going to have to get a 50ml bottle on my next order.

And... The wood tank came in the mail today, so let me introduce you to the Full Woody:



In other news, car shopping went pretty well today and I've decided on a Prius. I'm just sleeping on the final OTD price the dealer gave me before I make a decision tomorrow. I'll either be getting the red exterior with the tan leather interior, or the dark gray exterior and dark gray leather interior.

All in all, it was a pretty good day!

Hey guys... Saturday night and everyone is doin sumthin.. We played cards with Barb and Steve,, did I mention that she's quickly becoming a juice junky? We've got her daughter almost talked into a kit... I'll get her a KGO like I've got everyone else. Damn, I should be getting a commission! We quit cards early,,, she traveled 3 hours to pick up the granddaughters boyfriend at the airport and has to return him to the airport tomorrow. I have to tell you this.. the boy is in the Navy ( just like my son was), he came home to take the granddaughter to her prom,,, they went out for dinner and someone in the restaurant paid for their dinner, as a thanks for his service...and insisted on remaining anonymous.. brought a big tear to my eye, cuz several people did that for my son when he was in the Navy.. I can't even tell you how much that means to a service member,,, or his (or her) family. Nice kid, and he reminded me so much of my own son.

HEY!!! I won a contest!!! Apparently I'm gonna be a beta tester for a tank... Evolution tank. I seriously love winning these contests here.. makes me feel like a kid! I can't wait to get it!

Gotta make an order for ECB... dangerously close to being out of Zoe.. CANNOT have that!! Pretty excited about my Deej order too.. must share with Barb. Her hubby even took a toke of my Mt. Do tonight.. he'll never admit how darn good it is!!!

Anxiously awaiting news about the vape meet... funny,, I told Barb about it and she was all into it!! She'd be there!!! I laugh about it, but she gets the stink-eye from Steve

I never expected it but she'll be as bad as me before ya know it!!
Wonder if Glen bought a car today???

 

[Mythus2012]

Nothin doing here tonight...just hangin out watchin the Dodgers with hubby vapin away....well my cook top just cracked and a piece actually broke and fell through one of the "burners" so I gotta look into buying a new one....ugh!

Hey LUV congrats on the contest!!! I've still only won that one...for 15ml MOV....and I've entered so many I can't even count. Oh well....

Its OK we know Mt. Do is soooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to hear about the meet...I wish So Cal was more active, I'd love to be able to check out new mods, meet vape friends, check out set ups, etc.

No car for Glen today, think he's gunna sleep on it.

My only fellow vapers are at work...so I don't get much vape-talk time IRL... I bet you are having blast with Barb!!

Edited to say How cool was it for someone to pay for their dinner!!! Gives me goosebumps!!! Good people still exist!!! God bless our troops and Thanks to them all for protecting my family!!

Glen, love your woody! (Does this sound as bad as I think it does?). Seriously, it's awesome! (Argh!!! Not better!) Okay, how's this? Glen I love your new wooden personal vaping device. What model is it? I want the wooden E-power for myself! (There. Much better, lol).

It's so hard (I mean difficult) to speak vape without it sounding dirty, no?

Mine is the XL3 mod that has regulated VV between 3.0v and 4.2v, and it depends on the battery strength as to which modes are available. To be completely honest, I've yet to load a fresh battery that can get the 4.2v mode, but then I wasn't really looking to use that mode anyway. I tend to use it to switch between 3.2v and 3.7v depending on the clearo/carto/atty I have attached and the juice.

If you're looking at the Black Ash Burl e-power mod, that one is sharp! Also remember that if you don't like anything that is currently listed on the site, you can do a custom order. Just look through the sold mods to get an idea of the type of wood you want and it will give you an idea of how the finished product will look. My tank was a custom order and if the upgraded heads for the ViVi Nova work out, I'll probably be working with Lewis to get one last custom tank made for that setup.
