Wow Glen.. that's a pretty awesome looking mod!! It looks small too.. I love my lavatube, but damn that thing is big!!

Boy, quiet in here today.. where is everyone?? I had to work today,, day shift. Then hubby took me out for an early dinner before he went to work and now I get to sit here in my chair with my coffee and my lavatube and surf to my heart's content! I got some fluxo's from gotvapes yesterday and I'm less than impressed.. I'm sure there's just some trick to them that I don't know yet, so I have to go do some research.. that's my mission tonight. And hubby left me his debit card (silly, silly man!) so I can get myself some more bday goodies! I better make it count!!

I hope everyone is having a great day!!

ooooh Luvinit! Your husband doesn't know what he's in for, does he? lol What are you planning on buying with hubby's debit card??? Need help finding anything? (I'm in the mood to shop, but am on a spending freeze until we get a payroll issue sorted out, and I like shopping for other people lol)

Were you able to get the order placed for your ER nurse today?

That is gorgeous Glen!!!!

RTD vapor is one of the best places to find well priced AW IMRs & chargers (TR-001 is inexpensive & well regarded - I love mine). Fast shipping, great prices, and he is an authorized reseller of AWs, so you know it's the real thing, not a knockoff with an AW wrap! He also carries cartos that are competitively priced.

discount code is ECF5 for 5% off

Thanks! Actually, I already placed an order with AltSmoke for 4 AW IMR 18650 2000mAh batteries and the pila charger. I paid a couple dollars more than the place you recommended, so if / when I need more I'll keep them in mind.

Yes you can help me cheeky.. I got some stardusts from gotvapes and they're ok, but flavors seem muted in them. I also got some fluxomizers... have you used those?? I'm less than impressed. I thought you should be able to taste juices better without the filler material but that's not what I'm finding at all. I'm looking at the phoenix line at gotvapes,, and the vivi nova. Do you know anything about either of those?? I really just want something I can fill, screw on and vape and NOT get the nasty dry hits. The other problem I'm having is juice. I have about a gazillion bottles of juice and nothing I feel like vaping. I'm starting to feel like I should just pick 3 or 4, stick to those and stop all this buying different flavors... half of which are just kind of blech. I guess I'm getting a little frustrated with it all.

Mom and Pop's Vapor shop has a 30% discount on your birthday, so I've posted there and waiting for my discount code from them,, hell, with 30% I have to order something! But I'm really thinking about selling most of my juices on the classys and just sticking to the ones I really like... ECBlends. Chocolate Sin, Dragon's Blood, White Peach ala Zoe. Most of the rest of what I have I just plain get sick of,,, yeah, I can vape it but don't really care about them.

I'm going to do some research on that Vivi Nova from gotvapes.. take a look and tell me what you think. You too, Glen,,, and anybody else who might be hangin around!! Thanks guys!

Hey Luvinit - I haven't tried the Fluxos - after the fiasco with the CE2s and the smokeymizers, I've mostly given up on the clearos with the exception of the stardust and the acorn tanks from parkes vaping. I honestly prefer regular tanks with cartos in them - it may mute some of the flavors just a tad, but they're easy to use once you get the hang of filling, and there are no dry hits. I'll walk you through it if you like

I'm not overly familiar with the Vivi, but I think someone on this thread ordered them a while back - maybe Tina or Mythus? It looks very similar to the Acorn tank, but looks like it is less prone to leaks (My main complaint with the acorn - all of mine have a bad habit of leaking from the bottom seal, and give dry hits when chain vaping - the wicking flat out can't keep up). I think it's worth a try, especially with 3 replacement heads of different ohms included!

Now for the juice... I think we all know I love ECB
Some of my new favorites:
RY4, DXF, extra vanilla, extra caramel
7 leaf (after 2 weeks of steeping, but not before - bleh) - also good with a few drops of menthol!
Chocolate Hazelnut Tobacco, extra chocolate, extra hazelnut
(interesting to note that I loathed all tobacco juices until getting samples of all three listed above for the vape meet! Now they're on my favorites list. Go figure)
Wild Huckleberry
Blueberry-Pomegranate
White Peach ala Zoe with vanilla & raspberry shots
Dragons Tear (think dragons blood with fresh strawberry)
Chocolate Mint Coconut Crunch
Thin Mint Cookies
Peach Watermelon Cantaloupe
a few custom blends, and I know I'm missing a few others - I'll add them when I think of them

Deejstuff.com
CantaMelon
Waterberry BlueMelon
Cantamelon cheesecake
all of the champagnes I've tried - they actually sparkle on the tongue!

SmartVapes:
SV101 (they don't sell this on their website, you have to call and speak with them to order juice)

Madvapes:
HoneyDew

Let me know if you want me to send you some samples so you don't waste money on stuff you don't love - I'd be happy to do it - I know how frustrating finding the right juices is (main reason I ordered 2000ml in under a month!!!) Most of my stuff is 12mg

 

[luvinit]

Awww, thanks Cheeky! I think I'm gonna spring for the Vivi Nova, but not till they get the replacement parts in. I want to order an extra tank... eh, maybe not. They're on sale and I really want to try it. So think I'll just pull the trigger on that one. Now I'm also looking at the Vision eGo CE4+ at DiscountVapers. They look like they might perform a bit better than the Stardusts. I think they have longer wicks..

As for juice.. I think I'll stick with ECBlends,, theirs seem to be my favorites. The champagne ones look pretty tempting though. Tingle, huh?? I'm pretty sure I ordered some of that honeydew from madvapes,, and I think it should be coming tomorrow. And I'm still waiting on that discount code from Mom and Pops.. must be they don't check their thread on Sunday nights Thanks for the help!

 

[Mythus2012]

Had to chuckle a little reading your post LUV.... I'm kinda in that mood right now...in fact I just sat back on the couch after walking back from my bedroom with all of my juices because my usuals just aren't doin for me tonight. Placed an order with KBV and AVE this weekend....told you I was a juice hunter. Now I'm debating on whether or not to head over to TVR...ugh when will this desperate searching end?!?!?!? probably not until the money runs out LOL!!!

I was looking at the Vivi Nova and the new CE4+ with the longer wicks earlier today before I splurged on that mod. The new CE4+ with the longer wicks is at the standard resistance, so they wouldn't work with my eGo batteries if I needed them to, but the Vivi Nova has different resistance heads and looks very promising for most setups. If you pull the trigger on one, I'll be eagerly awaiting your review, and then quickly placing an order if you like them.

I was talking to my brother last night and he just got some Smoktech Mega Dual Coil cartos for his eGo batteries and loves them. From his review on the phone, I'm thinking I'm going to have to try some quality cartos soon and compare them to the clearo experience I've had so far. If they work out, then a DCT is probably the next logical step/option for my home setup.

 

[Mythus2012]

Have to agree with Cheeky on the Dragons blood!!!! Just got my first order this week and it's really good straight outta the box! But I'm trying to let it steep...but broke it out tonight and was reminded how good it was!

 

[Mythus2012]

So, those amazing looking wood mods became available on Discount Vapers and I couldn't take the pressure, so I ordered this one today:

LG XL3 - Variable Voltage - Box Elder Burl (black/green)

At least I got the least expensive of the XL3 models available, but now I must go a-hunting for the AW protected batteries, a good charger, and some cartos that will fit in the cone.

I'm going to be stalking the mail-person this week for sure!

These r so beautiful Glen!!! I would love one of these, actually the only other mod I've considered since getting my Provari. But I can't bring myself to buy a mod that doesn't go above 4.2....once they kick them up to at least 5volts then serious temptation will set in!

Thanks! I did consider the voltage limitation, but then between different resistance cartos/atties and the 4.2v, I should be set for most of what I need. Besides, I didn't say that I wasn't going to get a Provari as well... I am a vapaholic after all, and I've learned from the best!

I've learned to wait on buying in bulk (or buying replacement parts!) until I know if I like something. Keeps you from having 5 leaking tanks on your hands that you're unwilling to offload on some poor unsuspecting vaper in the classies

ECB just came out with a champagne, so I'll give it a try & let you know if theirs tingles, too!

Do you want me to send you some testers? Seriously, just let me know. I have a huge amount of juice & am happy to help you find something you like without the frustration of ordering 40 samples you DON'T like!

Have to agree with Cheeky on the Dragons blood!!!! Just got my first order this week and it's really good straight outta the box! But I'm trying to let it steep...but broke it out tonight and was reminded how good it was!

The Dragons Blood is yum!! The Dragons Tear is YUM!!! I love that you broke it out of steeping & were reminded of how good it is even unsteeped - it makes the meh juices you've waded through worth it when you find something you love!

Hey Mythus.. it totally sucks that nothing seems to be doing it lately. TVR was one of the first places I bought juice from, and they were very good. Their Keoke Coffee was awesome when I first got it, but it got really bitter with age. And their pomegranate was really good, spoiled me for other pomegranates. I think the desperate searching NEVER ends! And the money is very close to running out!!!

I think I will order one of those.. they look too interesting to pass up. I've used those Mega Dual Coils and they work pretty well. Very warm vape on my KGOs and they hold a ton of juice. No topping off constantly, they last a good long time. But you better be sure you like what you put in them.. I also have DCTs and don't love them on the KGO. I think it might be the dual coil cartos.. I really prefer single coils on the KGO but the single coil replacement cartos can be hard to find. They work beautifully on my lavatube though. I'll keep ya posted about that Vivi Nova.

Have to agree with Cheeky on the Dragons blood!!!! Just got my first order this week and it's really good straight outta the box! But I'm trying to let it steep...but broke it out tonight and was reminded how good it was!

Oh yeah, I have Dragon's Blood and has become one of my top vapes. It's on my short list,, along with the Dragon's Tears,, I really like that one too.

Cheeky,, I would be ever so grateful if you wanted to send me some samples.. that would be great! I know I like fruits, but I have lots of those.. have you ever had the Chocolate Sin from ECB? I REALLY like that when I need a break from the sweet fruity stuff.. maybe if you have something like that.. kinda nutty maybe. Maybe I need to try some menthols? I wasn't a menthol smoker so I've shied away from those.. whatever you think. Do you want me to send some of the ones I probably won't use in trade?? I could do that if ya want.

I think I'll go thin out the herd.. and maybe head on over the ECB and make a list
I'll check in with ya later!

 

[CheekyMonkey]

However you want to do it Luvinit - I have tons of juice, but if you have stuff I haven't tried, it would be fun to try new juices (juice junkies unite! )! Send me a PM and we'll figure out what you want. I need to go to the Post Office in the next few days, anyway!

I tried the Chocolate Sin recently, and I think it's the richest chocolate I've found (and enjoyed!), so far! Yum! I honestly like to vape straight 100% VG Menthol from ECB, especially when my tastebuds need a break. It isn't too minty, just fresh tasting. Also straight VG - I know it sounds odd, but it has a very light sweetness to it that is pleasant, especially when nothing else tastes good - weird, but it works for me!

 

[luvinit]

OK you guys.. I pulled TWO triggers tonight (thanks to hubby's debit card) ECBlends-cuz I know I love them- more Chocolate Sin, More Dragons Blood, some Vanilla Gorilla to try (I love a good vanilla!) some YUM (who knows?) and believe it or not... Black Pepper!!! EEEEGADS! Now, that should be an experience!

Also ordered that Vivi Nova... makes sense, don't order a bunch of extra stuff,, what if I hate it?? So one kit on the way and we'll see. I'll keep ya posted on that one.

Email incoming, Cheeky! Mythus and Glen... have a great night!

 

[Mythus2012]

I would love to get in on juice swaps/sharing!!! I have some 30ml bottles of flavors that don't make my short list that I would be willing to parse out for a taste of others! Also have some MOV that I'm not wild about but have kept in hopes that someday I will magically love it...but everytime I go back I remember I don't like it very much

 

[Mythus2012]

Right back attcha LUV!

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Shoot me an email, and hop aboard the Vapaholic trade train Mythus!

Edited to add: anyone know where small dropper bottles can be found locally??

Hey you guys.... vvveeerrryyy quiet around here today.. weeded my little flower garden this morning... no veggies for me. I kill everything so good hearty perennials are my cup of tea. When hubby got up from his night shift sleep we went and got a few groceries (big fun!) and cooked a steak for an early dinner.. our eating habits are so weird when he works nights.. dinner at 4? That just means some form of bad snack about 9. I just saw that Woody won the Provari in that contest... YAY Woody! Provape promised another contest so we'll have to be on the lookout for that..

Here's one we can enter though... who wouldn't love a Phiniac tank???

Hello All

My name is Cookster, and I'm a vape-o-holic...

Long story short, just passed my 10 month mark, truly unbelievable. 2PAD smoker for 42 years. Started with Volcano, been playing all the way to the Lavatube and back. Currently using LR Stardusts (love the blue & purple ones) with a 3 stage eGo clone.

I allowed myself a weekly budget for vaping equal to the money spent on cigs, so I haven't realllly saved, but I also haven't put myself in the red.

But, oh, how I love the new, the shiny, the cutting edge...

Been stalking the threads, waiting on the new eGo-C Twist, it's sounds right up my alley. Found a vendor selling it tonight...blew the week's budget all to He** in one swell foop!

My name is Cookster, and I'm a vape-o-holic, and I would be honored to join your group if you'll have me
