Thanks for the warm welcome cheeky! :) I love making new vaping friends since I am the only vaper I know. I get rather lonely and end up spending way way too much time on ecf, lol. Glad to know I am not alone,.....er... Well I am still alone, just not lonely, o u know what I mean right?

I am seeing a few posts about ecblends, are you guys fans of them? I know they have great prices, but I have never tried them.....yet, lol. I order alot from Altcig (I love Boodle, she's the BEST) and I also really love Highbrow, when I can afford it or they have a sale, Bryan is a true craftsman and another super great vendor. Most of my hardware comes from vaping Zone, they have the best non sale prices for the things I use, I also like Hoosier ecig supply, he has good prices also. Who do u prefer for hardware? O and for my mods I gotta give kudos to Todd at Maximum Vapors, he is wonderful, and has very reasonable prices for his mods, he should have some new ones on his site any day now. If u get a chance check him out.

Hey Lethalp!
I'm the only vaper in my group of friends, too, but I got to meet a bunch of great vapers at the local Vape meet last weekend - check the social groups forum & see if there is a group near you! If not, maybe you can start one :) Also, not sure what part of Indiana you're in, but VapeBash is being held outside of Chicago this weekend, so if you have a chance maybe you can go and meet new friends :)

I know exactly what you mean about being alone but not lonely - ECF keeps me company most days (I'm on an extended medical leave & Iron Monkey works during the week) - it's a really great community!

I'm a big fan of ECBlends - I've tried 40ish of their juices, and the only ones I've disliked have been my own creation lol I've found a few I wouldn't order again, but that's just personal preference - don't let their prices fool you - they create some terrific juices!! Use code 10020 for 20% off your order - it makes their 5ml $2.00 (they start at 2.50 for regular & 2.85 for the all natural & organic line). They have a few flavors that I will only buy from them (They have the BEST Thin Mint I've tried - tastes just like a GS cookie after steeping for a week. YUM), and their prices are so reasonable that it's easy & inexpensive to try 5ml of anything that strikes your fancy :) Give them a shot, I think you'll like them :)

I haven't found a real go to for hardware yet -I'm still pretty new, and am generally ordering things based on sales. I did get my KGO from Hoosier, my Ego-T from VapeDudes (40% off of your first order with code vapedudes - includes their Ego-T kit), and the 2 mods I have came from the classifieds lol Will definitely check out vaping one and maximum vapors - thanks for the tip!

Also, not sure if you saw this, but the Gary from the Vancouver Vapers club is holding a raffle to benefit the We Are Vapers film - tickets are 10$ a piece or 3 for 25$ - the raffle is open to all vapers worldwide - Everyone wins by supporting a great cause, but the person who's name is drawn from the hat wins the mod of their choice! Shoot me a PM if you're interested, and I'll send you details :)

Sweetener? Use ethyl maltol, or alternately, add a few drops of cotton candy flavor to whatever you're vaping (as cotton candy flavor is generally just ethyl maltol in whatever PG/VG blend you got).

My husband is enabling my DIY habits. A couple days ago, he ordered me a quart of PG, a quart of VG, and some ethyl maltol crystals (I can dilute them in PG or VG for my sweetener). So now, with the flavors I got the other day, I have the components for a crapton of DIY no-nic juice. :D All that hasn't shown up so far is the ethyl maltol crystals, and those are on the way... and now, I'm off to the kitchen to try this experiment to make a pistachio ice cream flavor...

Also, for hardware, I recommend Hoosier or Liberty Flights. Hoosier carries kgos and assorted stuff to go with 'em, Liberty Flights carries Rivas, Lavatube-clones, assorted batteries, and a lot of my cartos/clearos. (They sell prepunched boge cartos, which are wonderful for my Phiniac tanks, so I'm there a lot.)

Now, both those vendors have a lot more than what I just mentioned, but that's what I tend to order hardware-wise from those two places. I keep eyeing the C8 clearomizers that I found elsewhere, though... but I'm not ordering those for at LEAST a month. Kinda hoping one of my tested-and-fast vendors gets C8's in. But they look great.

I would like to join the vapaholics group too :blush: I'm pretty sure I've spent at least 5X as much this month on my new "hobby" than I would have on cigarettes...smh

welcome Bulldogz! You're in good company here - it should slow down a bit when you find your sweetspot and figure out what you like juice wise, but there will also be cool new stuff coming out, so.... :)

Hi everyone! Friday, my favorite day of the week.. last day (night!) of work and don't go back til Monday at 3. Big party this weekend and I'm SO looking forward to it!! Thanks for the kind words guys,, it means a lot. The step child has been a constant PITA for the 10 years that I've known her. She's always been a liar and manipulator, but nobody would see it but me... oh, it's just too long a story and I'm pretty sick of it all.. so really looking forward to this weekend away from it all.

Welcome aboard Lethalp!! So glad to have you here. I just ordered from Prime Vaping too, got 5 or 6 bottles, none of which I liked out of the mailbox, so I'm letting them sit for a bit. The problem was I got some from C2GVape the same day and those are ALL fabulous right away. I haven't given up on the Prime stuff yet though. I won a free bottle from Mountain Oak too.. I got the Devilish Delight, and it's pretty good. Though I think that one too will be better after a little steeping. I order from AltCig and Highbrow as well.. wow, we have a lot in common!! I'm wicked jealous you're going to a vape meet.. the only people I know that vape are the few I've managed to convert,,, and not many of them have stuck with it. Ah well...

tina... I just got some stuff from ECBlends and it's fantastic!!! The chocolate sin is great, but my new fave is the Dragons Blood.. that stuff is fabulous!! I MUST order more of that one,, my little bottle is almost gone. Give em a try,, they're really very good.

ladypixel.. you're brave with the DIY stuff,, it seems like such a lot of work!! Hope your pistachio turned out great!

Welcome to you as well, bulldogz... I, too, have spent at least 5x more than I would have on analogs, but I don't really care. I feel so much better,, and I just love this little hobby!!

I'm so glad to see so many new members of this little club... much support and friendship here!

Hope you all have a great weekend.. gotta go pack some beers for the party:toast:

Hey Luvinit!
Have a great time at that party, enjoy your beers & vapes, and relax - you deserve it!!!

I got my goodie pack from C2G as well - loved the banana taffy and the strawberry banana (don't know how she knew I was on a banana kick - I've been eating them like an actual monkey lately -3 or 4 a day! Must need the potassium lol). The only flavor that didn't make my tastebuds do a happy dance was the banana split, letting that steep for a while and hoping it improves. If not, I'll send it to you if you'd like it :)

I need more juice like I need a hole in the head, but I'm still going to be placing another order with deej stuff tonight or tomorrow - his juices are really complex & amazing with lots of layers... the cheesecake actually fools me into thinking I'm eating cheesecake - my whole mouth feels coated (in a great way) with creamy, rich cheesecake... don't know how he does it or how many pixies he has to shake to make it so good, but there is magic in his juice! Yum!

Wanted to do a quick reminder that the Raffle to benefit the We Are Vapers project runs through tomorrow evening. The pot has been sweetened with additional prizes - grand prize is still the mod of your dreams, but there will be 3 additional names pulled out of the hat & receiving great prizes donated by several vendors!
Tickets are $10 each or 3 for $25
PM Motivaper or me, CheekyMonkey for paypal instructions :)

Happy vaping!
Cheeky

I don't know that it's particularly brave. Time-consuming... not even that, to be honest. Throw some stuff into a bottle, close the bottle, shake it up well, and set it aside and ignore it for a couple days (except for occasional shakings when you remember to). ;) The most time-consuming part of it is figuring out what you're going to put in the bottle, and then taste-testing it to fine-tune what you're putting into the bottle for the next batch. I'm not in a rush... it's playing with stuff, as far as I'm concerned. :)

Hi Hairball - you're in the right place, and in very good company!

I'm also a vapeaholic and juice junkie - I ordered 1000ml last week, another 300ml this week, and am still planning to place another juice order tomorrow... better than the stinkies! :)

Post pictures of your collection if you'd like - I know I'd love to see it!!

I'd be set if Dekang would ship me a 55 gallon drum each of DK-Tab, Melon (not watermelon), 234fatsal (clove), juicy peach, and desert ship. Hmmm...wonder what they would charge me for freight.

Oh wait, then there is topshelfvapes, freedomsmokeusa (only like a handful of flavors), mt. baker vapor, vermillionriver....wonder if hubby would mind me taking a lean against the house.

Hairball is most certainly a vape o holic, and also a serious mod horder!! But she also one of the most generous ppl I know, with all the work she does for deals and steal and how involved she is in the PIF thread, I like to call her my Fairy Mod Mother!! Maybe it would be better if I called her my Fairy Mod Sister? Lol

She really is great and I respect her opinion on all the massive amounts of stuff on the vape world! Glad to see u here!!

Luvinit, yes I too noticed we have alot of juice vendors in common, now, how are we going to make that work to our advantage?? :) lol

Great group u have here Cheeky! I am glad to be a part of it. Now then I must go for now, I only sat down to check in for a minute, and try to think of all the stuff I have to do to get ready to leave for Chicago. I gotta tell u I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! That 4 hr drive is going to be a bear, glad I will have some vaping to do on the way! Bye all! Talk to u Monday!!
