This is the Evolution tank I won in the contest over the weekend. They look pretty interesting!

Those tanks look pretty sweet! Let us know what you think of them once you get a chance to test them out.

Thanks for the links Glen! I decided to suck up smelling like a salad & sprayed myself down with apple cider vinegar. It has always worked well for me in the past, so I'm not sure why I was so hesitant top use it today! Once again I'm amazed by how effective it is. One application and my skin is already feeling cooler and more supple. Should have done this hours ago! :) will reapply once more tonight, and throughout the day tomorrow, and should be back to normal by Wednesday. Note to self: do not try new sunblock during peak sun midday pool sessions, especially this early in the season when there is no base tan to protect my Irish skin! Duh :)

will take a look at the pass throughs you recommended, and if you need help the day the blue led goes on sale, let me know & I'll help stalk the site, etc for you.

Well, if Iron Monkey is a fan of salad then it's a bonus! :D

I may take you up on that offer to help me lurk the ProVape site. I'll be working that day, so I won't be able to dedicate much time to refreshing the page every few minutes. Thanks for the offer, and I'll let you know!

LOL! Iron monkey likes salad, but isn't fond of the smell at bedtime lol I think tonight I'll vinegar up a bit earlier, then apply pure Shea Butter before bed so it's less stinky :)

No worries about the lurking - just give me a heads up, and I should be able to make it happen! Let me know how you want me to contact you when they pop up/how you want to handle it, and we'll get you a blue LED! YAY for Provari!!!

The SS Ming Drip tip co-op order arrived today, and they're gorgeous on everything from the REO mini to the tanks & even on a plain ol' carto, so much so that I wish I'd bought a few more for myself! 5 should be plenty, I know, but they're really fantastic - they have the best lip feel I've experienced since starting vaping - they even beat out the Trippy Tip so far! Beauty meets durability meets function - lovely!

The shipping fairies did not bless me with a provari today, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow :nun: I'm really looking forward to having her in hand and seeing how she compares to the LT.

Looks like my latest ECB order shipped today! I ordered a bunch of custom creations - now that I've found some favorites juices, I'm finding that the majority of my ECB orders consist of me playing with the wizard & coming up with new flavors :) I am having so much fun with it - I'm pretty close to an Orange Cinnabun (think pillsbury cinnamon roll with orange frosting), and a few other yummies - It's like DIY without actually having to DIY : )

Hope everyone is having a happy vaping Tuesday!

I have another convert!!! Ok, I guess I can't take full credit, Barbs daughter ordered a KGO today. YAHOO!! And she ordered some juice from spring vapor. I had a bottle of French toast I had given Barb and that one seems to be their favorite. The only thing she didn't order was the right Cartos, but I'm pretty sure we can find a couple Cartos for her to use.

Works been busy tonight. Not with patients, four machines acting up & I seem to be the fix-it queen. I think they're all finally working the way they're supposed to. Makes me wanna tear my hair out sometimes though.

Work calls... Later guys and girls!

Hey Cheeky this stuff is AWESOME...Banana Boat Soothing Aloe After Sun Lotion - Best Price

Helps keep the tan around too!! Also they have an aloe gel formula for burns...works very well too...just another hum drum week here in sunny CA hopefully we're done with the rain for the season!! I'm so ready for the sun. I wouldn't do well in WA or OR....I would definitely become a statistic...too much gloomy weather and I'm a depressed mess!

Actually I don't think I currently have ANY outstanding orders??!?!?!?!?! It looks like Issac is going to be up and running soon...THANK YOU GOD!!! I'm in despirate need of attys...I blow through these things so quickly I think its because I like very dark, very sweet flavors with lots of junk, I just tucker 'em out quick!! I haven't had an i06 in months!! I'm TOLD that the average life span of an atty is 2 weeks, I'm lucky if I can get them to last 1....

I can't wait for my ECB RY4, Dragons and Zoe to steep...I want to use them SOOOOO bad..

Lounge???? We made the lounge??? Is that good???

I love the idea of the Banana Boat after Sun lotion, thanks for the link! Unfortunately, I'm sensitive to most things containing Aloe & instead of soothing, it tends to give me a rash (yes, I know it's weird lol). I wish it didn't, it's got such great healing properties that I wish I could use it (plus it's easy to grow!). I'd be a mess in WA or OR too - One of the things I love about this part of Florida is that the sun shines just about every day. Even during the rainy season, we usually have an hour or two of it & then the sun comes back :)

Glad to hear Isaac will be back up & running soon! I want to try his atties - a friend gave me a 306 at last weekends vapemeet - is there a break in period on 306s? I know they're not all created equal, but this atty hasn't shown me what all the fuss is about... Yowsa you go through your atties fast Mythus!

I don't know if making the lounge is good or not - I'm guessing it's a "promotion" of sorts, but I dunno :smokie:
Wonder if there is a way to get the first post switched from guest back to my user name?

Happy Vaping Tuesday night guys & dolls :)

Good morning and happy hump day everyone! Just got back from the chiropractor, I don't know why I didn't do this before. He made me cry, but in a good way. I'm pretty much a big ol mess. I'm so far out of whack, and been compensating for so long, it's going to take a while to straighten me out. I used to go to a different chiro years ago, and I remember well the noises getting adjusted makes but holy cow!!! My neck is a disaster, I have no C curve in my neck so I have to work on getting that curve back. And he showed me some stretches that actually made me nauseous, but boy do they work! The rest of my day consists of 20 minutes ice, 10 minutes off.. until I go to work and then I go back and see him again tomorrow... and he says by Friday I should be able to sleep a lot better.. oh, I hope he's right!

Anyone getting vape mail today?? OH YEAH, Cheeky might be getting her new toy today.. I sure hope so!! I should be getting some TVR juice. Barb got herself some Dragon's Cream (I think that's what she said) and it's an orange cream, she says it's fabulous! She might just become a juice junky too!

I hope everyone has a terrific day.. I gotta go get my ice packs out of the freezer..

I have a provari!!!!!! It's beautiful! The 3 button system on the LT is super easy to use, the one button system on the Provari will take some getting used to, but it feels great in my hand - very substantial, and it vapes like a champ :)
I think I'll be playing with it for the rest of the day! :)

happy vaping Wednesday!

Got my TVR juice today.. Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble is ok, but might be better if it sits for a while. The Cinnamon Red Hots is fabulous!! You can feel the cinnamon on your tongue, and it just about made me choke.. it's wonderful! The Dragon Fruit also might need to steep a bit (that one was a freebie and it's a little perfumey right now) but the Orange Creamsickle... OH YUM! That one is pretty sweet!! That's all I'm expecting this week and I haven't placed my ECB order yet.. I'm waiting for Barb to decide what she wants, and her daughter too. That order's gonna be a big one! I'd like to get it out tonight but I don't think that's gonna happen,, Barb can be a big procrastinator,, I'll have to push her a little, I'm sure. Headed to work,,, have a great night!

I'm more than a little irritated. Remember the coupon code from TVR that I got for a free bottle because someone told them I recommended them? I ordered my free bottle plus a couple other ones, which I received today. Then I get an email. It says that coupon code was not meant for me, should not have been used by me, and unless I can come up with a valid coupon code, they will be charging me for that free bottle. EXCUSE ME???? That coupon code came to me in my email so if you sent it to me by mistake, that's YOUR problem and if you charge me for that bottle you can BET that I won't be back. I'm ......!

WTH Luv?!? I'd be livid, too Have you emailed them back to ask them about it? If they sent you a coupon code in error, AND their system ACCEPTED that coupon code, that isn't your fault, and I don't believe that they can charge you for it, especially if you specifically prohibit it in your email back to them. I'd also offer to return the freebie to them at their expense, and attach a copy of the email they sent you with the coupon code.

Sounds like very poor business sense to me - I've had companies make mistakes, but they've always made it right -one sent me a 30ml of the wrong flavor, and let me keep it plus shipped out the right juice the next day. If they make a mistake, they should be following the example of the company above - make it right, keep the customer and save yourself from a negative review, especially in the case of a bottle of juice.

Their cost to produce isn't nearly as high as the cost of bad word of mouth.

Hello Fellow Lounge Lizards:
I made it safely (and smoke-free) to Atlanta yesterday. I swear, the older I get, the longer that drive is! I wound up falling into bed at 9:00, got up at 6:30, visited with Mom a bit and went back to bed at 8:00 and slept until 11:30! I'm definitely getting too old for this ....! :( All of my juices arrived (except for ECB; should be here tomorrow), so I'm good to go. Mom tried my V2s and my E-power, and unfortunately, they both choked her. I think I'm using too high a nic level for her (18mg). Too bad; I really want to get her off the nasty sticks. Think I'll order some lower nic levels V2s for her to try on my next trip home (I'm flying back here for my birthday).
My b-in-law and sister swear by their chiropractors. I haven't needed one yet, luckily.
Hope y'all have a great day!

I did email them right back and told them exactly that. That code was sent to ME at MY email address. If it was an error it was their error, not mine. And I deleted the email after I used the code (stupid me) so I can't even send them a copy of it. I haven't heard back from them again. Maybe I'll just send all if it back, pay for it even and tell them they won't be getting my business, or that of the 8 people I've converted this month alone. Seriously, over a $10 bottle of juice??? I won't order from them again anyway.

Reidus, glad to see you made it!! I hope your able to find something your mom can tolerate. My sister is the same way, no matter what she tries she chokes and hacks. She loves the idea, shelled out the money for a V2 kit but can't seem to make it work for her the way it worked for me.

(I'm just STEWING over that juice deal!)

Tropical vapors has en e-power on sale for 20bucks and I'm sorely tempted. I've already got the batteries and the charger and I think that's a great deal! What do you guys think?

Glad you made it safely to Atlanta Reidus! Keep trying with your mom - she might need help with the way she inhales, too - I had a friend over the other day, and she kept choking on it until I explained that she needed to take a draw into her mouth (closing the throat off), and then inhale. Once she got the right rhythm down and stopped choking, she was fine, loved all of the juices I had her try, and will be coming back with her boyfriend for more juice tasting and experimenting with different devices (I have everything from cigarette clones to the provari and both size REOs now, so a good range for them to figure out what works for them!). Keep at her Reidus, and you'll find the right combo to get her converted :)

I wouldn't send it all back AND pay for it, but if they don't respond favorably to the email you sent them, I would post a negative review regarding the experience. Their mistake should not cost you money, and they should be more concerned with their level of customer service. It's critical in business in general, but in the vaping world, I think it's even more important as this is currently a rather small market & community (comparatively), and word of mouth is important! Besides, it costs significantly more money to attract new customers than it does to retain customers you already have (true of any industry). Check your trash folder - it may not have automatically emptied/ you might still have that coupon code email!

Try the same thing I told Reidus about the inhale instructions with your sister! I had to walk Iron Monkey through it in the beginning as well - it seems that some people get the hang of how to vape instinctively, and others need a little coaching to get the hang of how not to choke on all that vapor :) Have you tried giving her something like the Mistic to try? The cigarette clones seem to be a little easier to get the hang of in the beginning, probably because they tend to produce less vapor.

For 20 bucks the epower might not be a bad idea! If you think you'll use it, go for it! If not, then save the money for something you will use :)

Ohhhhh by the way,, I like the Lounge Lizards :)

Me too - only I feel like there should be Sinatra playing in the backround ;)

Really enjoying the Provari - I've made myself a cheatsheet of the correct # of presses for each function, and it's starting to become intuitive, but I have to say that the LT's 4 button set up IS more user friendly than the one button set up of the Provari. Not a big deal. I LOVE the ohm reader!!! It's so awesome to be able to click 13x, wait 2 seconds, and see what ohm your atty or carto is! :wub: :wub: :wub: I had a 1.5 dual coil in my tank (waiting for carto co-op order to come in!!), snipped the top coil, and am now at 3.0ohm - how do I know this? I clicked my button 13x and the provari flashed 3.0 for me. Teehee!!!

Speaking of co-ops, my stainless steel ming drip tips came in yesterday, and they are WONDERFUL. They've quickly become my favorite drip tips - they look good on EVERYTHING including Foxy Roxy, they have great lip/mouth feel, and I was kicking myself yesterday for not ordering more (as was another vaping friend who ordered from that co-op). Well, today, the guy who organized it posted that he's gathering interest for a round 2 of the SS ming drip tips! WOOHOOO! I'm in for another 5 (will bring me to 10 of these), for $18.10!!! If anyone else is interested, here's the link:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-kingkong-ming-style-drip-tips-round-2-a.html

Jump in quickly if you're interested, it looks like it will fill up fast. Plus, if you get in on the co-op and hate the driptips for some reason, let me know and I'll buy them from you. Yes, I like them that much :)

Reidus - I agree with Cheeky and it might just be the way your Mom is trying to use it (like a regular cigarette). It could also be the PG level or the NIC level. If your Mom is a moderate to heavy smoker, I wouldn't go below 18mg or it might not take care of the cravings. Try a juice with a higher VG level (or pure VG) with her and see if that helps.

luvinit - People like that are not worth your business. Just ignore any threats they send you because they have no way of collecting funds for product they've already shipped (by mistake or otherwise). I would tell them that any further correspondence they send via email will not be answered, and will be posted in the negative reviews section here on ECF.

Cheeky - Have you been able to pry the ProVari out of your hands at all today? :D

I got a call from the car dealer today. They couldn't work out a trade with another dealership in the area to get the red color preference, but they have a dark gray one coming in on the 31st from the factory. I should be signing the paperwork and driving home in the new car that weekend, which is very cool.

No vape-mail for me today, but I still have my DV order coming. Also, Lewis made a wood drip tip from the same block of wood my tank came from, so I'll be getting that soon as well. I will then have the perfect Woody! :2cool:
