1 x VG Swedish Pastry Plus mg: 18c, Size: 60mL
1 x VG JH KettleKorn mg: 18c, Size: 10mL

Tell me what you think of these. I honestly can't taste a different between these two flavours. I'm giving the KettleKorn another week to steep before trying again, but it's got me scratching my head.

(Though, to be honest, I'm genetically lacking certain taste buds, so I wonder if this may be a factor.)

So, I've been waiting all week for my DIY supplies to get here. (Basically just some more flavours, bottles, and a year-plus worth of nic)

I pop home for lunch, take a quick peek in the mailbox, and what do I see sitting there in all its glory, ready to save me from the nic-fits o' doom?

Nothing.

I must've messed up on my days-left calculations somewhere, because I'm so low on juice that I've just whipped up a Death-Bottle of all the fractions of mls of juice I have lying around. I will have enough to last me through to Sunday, when I will be able to swing by the weekend market and pick up some juice.

Swedish pastry is my ADV I'd buy it by the liter if I could. But I'll let you know about the kettle corn.

*pant-pant-pant-slurrrrrp*

Well, I tried the Cinnamon Redhots from Vapor God that arrived yesterday.
*hoarse whisper*: It's hot! hot! hot!
The first puff stole my breath completely away.... after that, I learned to take great big mouth-watering 5-alarm puffs, but only draw them in barely enough for the throat hit, then gently push them out. I seriously can't handle this stuff in my lungs at any major concentration! It buuuuuurns *giggles*.

In short, I love it! hahahaha..... They can't make the little cinnamon redhot candy too hot for me, and this juice is EXACTLY like them. In fact, considering the taste is dead on, and vapor doesn't get stuck in your teeth, turn your tongue red, or add to your waistline, well heck, I might never have one of the candies again, and just get my fix from this firey brew.

For those who love HOT cinnamon, don't miss this treat.
For the faint of heart.... you might wanna stand back when I exhale lol

Mister Mike you current appearance is now ehhh "understandable" the following comes to mind:

1. Extreme anxiety due to low level of nic supplies leading to the dreaded condition known as nicless ; and,
2. In desperation you have in fact "jeeped" your self. A tradition in the NCO messes of Canadian military Regiments where at the New Year's Day Levy the new subalterns are marched over to be "introduced". They are, by tradition required to ingest a pint of the dregs of the bottles that have accumulated behind the NCO's bar. Having been "jeeped" my self I can understand the reason you look so awful.

Just so you know, cinnamon can crack/melt tanks and tips.

Thanks recidivus, KillFace and Qcaj.... I had read that here before, so I'm prepared. I'm currently using it in an eGo-W tankomizer, and I'm aware it will probably shorten the life of the tank, but I'm prepared to accept that. I might try it in my iTaste when I get a chance to get new atty heads.... the cartridges are only 79c, so if it kills it prematurely, I can accept that... but I want a dedicated atty head (that won't get used for other flavors) for this stuff 'cos it's POTENT.

The concord grape is a new one to me though! I knew about cinnamon, banana, and citrus..... does the grape have some citrus in it for "tartness" or something?

That leads me to my next comment/question..... I've stayed clear of anything citrus so far because I've found that with citrus flavored things, I tend to think everything tastes like cleaning fluid. I like citrus fruits, but typically not citrus flavored items. Anyone find this with juices? Are there some that are "truer" than others? Discuss.....

I make a lemon-lime mix that isn't so bad after a week of steeping. When it's first mixed it tastes like....those smelly markers from elementary school though. Picked up a bottle of Juicy Clear Lemonade (old bottle so didn't need steeping) at the last meet, haven't had a chance to taste it yet so we'll see...brb...

hahahahaha! So I'm not the only one.... like I say, I don't enjoy feeling like I have a mouthful of Mr.Clean, so I think I'll continue to steer clear of these..... and another thing! Ever had those little hard gummy candies that are either called "floral gums" or "soap candies"? It seems that EVERY fruity flavor I try has that soapy, floral, almost perfume-y-ness to it! I used to like those candies as a kid, but I'm not sure I really enjoy vaping it. Some are worse than others, but they all seem to have it. I was told by a veteran at cvcn that the soapy taste comes from the VG.... Anyone else experience this?

60mg, most likely 30ml bottles if I recall VaporGeeks's pricing, used in DIY. You thin it down to your desired %. If you vape at, say, 18, you'll get ~120ml of juice out of a 30ml bottle.

As to fruity soapness, again, my mixes start out with a bit of it but after a day or two it mellows out quite a bit. It really depends on what concentrates are being used I think. VG SHOULD be close to flavourless with a slightly sweet taste.

Yup, 30ml of 60mg.

If you'll notice I also ordered
-2X PG Base $3.50 = $7

I also have a 120ml bottle of VG kicking around. Using the two VG/PG 60mg liquid and the VG and PG bases I can make about 180ml of 20mg liquid. So that is 6 - 30ml bottles. I paid $58 bucks for all the supplies, so it works out to about $9.60 a bottle.
