YAY! Your creation sounds delicious Tina, congrats! Love salvaging liquids that aren't great and turning them into something wonderful & useful!

Glad the Raspberry twinkle is good - it's on my list to buy this time around - do you have enough that you'll be able to steep & see if it gets even better?

Attention Vapaholics:
I think I now have enough supplies to get me through the next year. At least. I do need to make an order with ECBlends for Iron Monkey, and I will continue to buy SMALL quantities of juice to sample and review, and will place a few other small orders, but if you see that I'm heading towards another spending spree, please please please tell me to STOP and think about whether I need whatever it is I think I want to buy!

If you are out of something, and cannot find it in stock, shoot me a PM. There's a fairly good chance I have whatever it is you're looking for and would be happy to send it to you as a loaner, or sell it to you

No need to worry though, his thread isn't going anywhere! Feel free to post your spending sprees, ask for help in preventing a purchase of something you really want but don't need (or can't afford or whatever!), or talk about awesome vaping you're doing - juices, PVs, APVs & accessories (cartos, clearos, atties, drip shields, whatever!), you love or hate, or just chat with a great group of fellow vapaholics & juice junkies

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a lovely Easter!
The Cheeky juice junkie

You asked for pics...you got some. I'm not going to tear through my closet and drag everything in there out...LOL. Pardon the mud on my sweats..I was gardening today.

.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Holy Hell Hairball!!!! That is an amazing stash!!! I've got to show it to Iron Monkey the next time he asks if I think I have enough vaping stuff!!! Please let me know the next time you're selling stuff

Pics of your PVs next?

 

[hairball]

Okay...pics of PV's. I have some new ones that aren't pictured and 2 more on the way in the mail.

I just realized I need to update my pictures...LOL.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

OMG
I'm in awe! you have an amazing collection - that LavaTank is beautiful (as are so many of the other pieces!!!) I'd love to see the updated pics when you take them!! Wow. Just.. wow! Where is the smiley for bowing when you need it?

again... if you ever want to consolidate, pretty please let me know

 

[luvinit]

OMG..... HOLY CRAP! Hairball.. that is INSANE!! I freakin love it! That is one truly amazing stash! Geez, you could open your own store! Wicked jealous. Hubby was watching me refill some cartos this morning, shaking his head, grinning... like he usually does,,, I really must show him your pics. You too, cheeky... I'm almost ashamed to show you my "little" stash. Speaking of which, I just heard the mailman's truck pull up out back... and yes, I'm expecting a package today (I hope! I hope!) Two sampler packs from Mountain Oak.. can't wait to try em! Did I mention I finally got the hang of the atty's? They're all clean and ready to go... come ON mailman!!!

Feels like I haven't been around in forever... kind of a busy weekend so only had a few minutes here and there to check in. So listen you guys.. I love my KGOs.. but I've only got two batteries and that worries me. I'm gonna be screwed if anything happens to these two, and I know these things are not designed to last forever. I'm thinking of another KGO kit, Hoosier has the blue ones in stock. I don't want a big boxy mod,, but an e-power? Or a lavatube? Hairball,, you look like you have everything that's out there!! So what do you guys think? I'm leaning toward another KGO kit for now,,, since I've spent a ton on juice in the last few weeks and maybe saving up for something bigger and badder later... cuz I know I already love the KGO. Decisions, decisions. OHHHHHH, here comes the mailman!!! Gotta go...

 

[luvinit]

DAM DAM DAM!! No package today. What a disappointment. Oh well... tomorrow fer sure. So tina,, you inspired me to try a little mixology. I'm supposed to be a fairly intelligent person, so I don't why I didn't think to do this sooner. I had a Tiramisu that I adored in the beginning, and now is just pretty BLECH! So I mixed in some vanilla, about half and half and whoa! That's pretty good! Salvaged about 30 mls of juice. Oh, btw, I counted and I only have a little over 600mls. I suppose to a normal person, that might sound like a lot, and had I not seen pics of all of yours,, I would have thought that was a lot too.. oh, it's a drop in the bucket!

I got my ECB order on Saturday.. holy cow! This is some seriously good stuff! Dragon's Blood,, well, that's a given. I already knew I loved that one, so ordered a big bottle of that. Fuzzy navel,, I'm letting that one sit a bit. Chocolate Chip Cookies was ok, should have ordered extra flavor on that one. Buttered Keoke Rum Coffee... ICK. That one is awful. Wonder what I could mix that with to make it better??? Blackberry is ok, a little perfumey at first so letting that one sit a bit too. Peach was ok, but should have gotten extra flavor on that one as well. Chocolate Sin is one of my all time favorites.. nice smooth chocolatey, slightly nutty flavor... really, really good. Cantaloupe, Manna, Mimosa are all ok. Clean and crisp, not heavy. Chocolate chili,,, I don't think I've tried that yet!! Now the two that blew me away... Steven's surprise is fabulous! I'm no good at picking out individual flavors so I can't tell you what's in there,,, but it's a nice light, clean, fruity vape. Definitely fruity.. so, so good! My new absolute favorite?? White Peach ala Zoe. Marvelous! Fabulous! I love peach, and I've tried peach from every place I've ordered from and this one is IT! I kid you not,, this is one peach that delivers a big peachy punch. Can't say enough good about this one.

So tomorrow I'm hoping for my MOV juices.. that'll bring me closer to 700 mls... someday I'll catch up with you guys!

@hairball
Holy crap man!
So how long u been vapin' to be able to amass that inventory?
Party time.
I bow to you...my hero.
Bullette says woof!

[tinajfreeman]

HAIRBALL! OMG! Thank you for posting that....now I don't feel guilty at all about my stash

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Luvinit - there are vendors that sell just the batteries (ego, kgo, etc), so that might be something for you to look at. Check the deals & steals page - there was a vendor selling ego 1100mah batts for 9.99 each over the weekend
Let your coffee flavors steep before you give up on them - I've found that every ECBlends coffee I've received has been icky out of the mail, but turns into something yummy and wonderful after a week or two of steeping. In fact, for everything you think is bleh, give them a week or two & drip again. Some of them will be pleasant surprises!

 

[luvinit]

Crap, I wish I would have seen that ego deal!! I would have jumped on that. 'Cept I really, really want the blue ones
I've got a few bottles of juice in the back of my little box, figure I'll leave em there for a week or so and then try again. I know things change with a little time. I think hairball's pics make us all feel just a little bit better about our own stashes... welllll, maybe not so much better. Frankly, I'm a bit envious (me turning green).

Off to work.. have a great day all you vapaholic peeps!!

 

[CheekyMonkey]

LOL!! I am a little envious of Hairballs stash, too!!! She could open her own store
I'm pretty sure Hoosier has the blue kgo batts in stock - I'll keep my eyes peeled for you!

I think I just made my first convert to vaping (aside from Iron Monkey - he didn't have a choice lol)!!! Two of my favorite people came to visit & hang out at the pool with me today - both are smokers, one of menthol, the other of cloves... I had them try a couple of different juices, and the menthol smoker fell completely in love with ECBlends Thin Mint & Chocolate Mint Coconut Crunch! She was so excited that they not only gave her the nic fix she needed, but also satisfied her sweet tooth! We're going to talk soon (probably this weekend), and walk through a few sites together (she lives in Orlando & is going back tonight), to get her the set up she needs. She'd tried the junkie gas station brands before & didn't like them, but is excited about switching now! She might even come back for the Suncoast Vapers meet next weekend! WOOT!!!!

The other friend has tried my kgo before, likes it, but wants something that tastes like clove, so I think I'm going to order the clove from ECBlends for her & see if that gets her to switch

I told them that my goal is to get all of the smokers I love to make the switch, and one suggested that I do a vaping 101 class at one of our girls days (about 15-20 of us usually - most smoke, at least socially!), so we're going to make that happen, and I couldn't be more excited! I think I need to pick up a few more inexpensive batteries for it so that everyone can try out an ego or kgo batt, learn to fill a carto, etc. I might just pick up a bunch of stardusts since they're so darn easy to fill/last so long, and send everyone who is interested home with one. Guess I'll need chargers too... Will get a head count first & whoever wants to participate can just give me the $ to cover it at the party (combining it with a hula hoop making party - should be lots of fun!). Love my friends, and hope I can help them choose a less harmful alternative to the stinkies!

I have to admit, I had a couple of puffs of the menthol, and it didn't taste horrible, but my throat hurts like crazy from just 2 puffs! Would really like to find a menthol juice that is satisfying like the Mistic menthol! No tobacco taste in it that I can detect. The closest I've come is the ECBlends straight Menthol in 100% VG, but it's missing a little something. Might play with their wizard & try a 90% menthol, 10% tobacco blend to see if that hits the spot (really only want that taste when drinking!)

Any ideas?

 

[Ladypixel]

I got more juice today. This time, I can blame my husband, as HE ordered it. And after vaping some of it, I'm now a puddle of delight. ECBlends is good, but OH MAN, I love Gen X Vapors' juice. Savannah Strawberry Cake tastes like one of those little angel-food dessert cups topped with fresh strawberries and a veritable mountain of whipped cream.

Never thought I'd be a huge dessert vape fan, but apparently, I am.

I have to say, though, I feel rather evil, as my non-smoker friends keep wanting to taste my flavors because they smell good. I've started carrying two in 0-nic around with me when hanging out with 'em now, just because of that. If they're not already addicted to the nicotine, I don't want to start them down that path... but raving about flavors has sort of gotten them all really curious.

 

[T-Mac]

Hairball you make me feel better about my little stash too lol.

 

[BuGlen]

It's going to be a good week for vape-mail!

I got home from work today to find a notice in my mailbox for the registered airmail package from China (figures I would have to sign for it). At least I work from home tomorrow so I can go pick it up and I'll have my new cases (yes, plural), eGo pass-through, SR eGo-C atties for my lighter flavors, etc. Just the basic accessories.

Then, either Wednesday or Thursday the MFS order should be arriving with my Stardust clearomizers in both SR and LR. Can't wait for that!

Yes, it's going to be a good week.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Hey BuGlen!
Did you find a good deal on the Stardust? I'm thinking that they might be the easiest to give to the girls at the Vaping 101 party, and want to find the best price I can!

Actually, this is open to everyone! I'm looking for the best possible prices on either pass throughs or batts w chargers and a simple carto system so that no one feels over whelmed & gives up on vaping because it's "too complicated" to do on their own. They're all pretty smart women, but busy, so the learning curve can't be too steep (I'm not handing them my LT & telling them to play with voltages unless they ask {assuming it's here by then... please please please let it be here by then!})

Edited to add: Luvinit - ECBlends DOES have Dragon's Tears, and they're coming to my house!!

 

[luvinit]

Y'know cheeky,, funny you mention the Dragon's Tears. I fully intended to order that with my last order, but apparently I got so consumed with the myriad of possibilities there, that I completely forgot until right now!! You know what that means, don't you?? HELL YEAH!! Another order!!! And I WILL remember to get more White Peach ala Zoe... seriously good stuff. And tomorrow I should get my Mountain Oak stuff.. I'll let y'all know how they are.

 

[tinajfreeman]

Dragon's Tears and White Peach???? You guys are NOT helping with my addiction...you're feeding it
