Speaking of camels I just found a really neat art form where they shave beautiful patterns and designs into their hair.

It's really beautiful stuff and of all the animals that could use a little aesthetic help, the camel has to be towards the top of the list.

I wonder if I can get all these in before I hit the hay tonight haha What specifically about Turkish tobacco draws your to it, Lisancentraltx? I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with the flavor (or have enough of a developed palate) to tell the difference between that and other tobacco flavors.
It's grown in camel dung. Makes it sweeter :lol:

Heh! Noodleheads! :p Turkish tobacco flavor is like an oriental tobacco, it is an aromatic... hard for me to explain flavor :/ Aromatics are typically mild and have a sweeter taste and aroma. It is a pleasant aroma and then a mellow combination of flavors... fruit, honey and spice without any hard edges to it - it is smooooooth. Oriental tobacco has the dominant role with flavors between sweet and spicy, it has creamy texture and I COULD taste something like raisins, or honey, or a taste of "earth", or a slightly spicy flavor and a nostalgic scent of old wood shop... Uhhhhhhhh, when you take a mouthful of smoke or vape... the Turkish vape is like a mouthful of FLAVOR... different flavors. I do that with other juices and I might taste a HINT of something, say a apple vape or a pear vape or a chocolate... some juices give you a HINT and some just assault every sense you have, I taste honey on my tongue, tobacco in the back of my throat, a tickle of spice in my nose... anyway, as I said I cannot explain. When I vape my red hot cinnamon, it is the same, HOT SPICE in my nose, SWEET CANDY on my tongue, and CINNAMON lingering in my mouth... sorry, I am a noodlehead and this does not seem to explain what it does :'( Perhaps if I had some now :p

Night Steve, rest easy =]

1. 6/24 - I just realized I've been reading about modding for 3 hours, again. :facepalm: This time it was micro coils and micro genesis atomizers. :facepalm: Don't ask.

So the attempt at "shaking" juice with a back massage unit works, but the one I have is far too powerful, loud, and impractical. Those juice bottles were dancing and spinning like spasmodic whirling dervishes. I see an ultrasonic cleaner in my future, and a used one is not out of the question. I can probably sterilize it well enough to erase the imagery of the previous owner's dentures sitting in it. Probably.

Time to take the dog out for his final walk for the day. We've gone 3 miles today, 1.5m in the mid-day heat.

I imagine extracting is a fairly expensive process not to mention time consuming. I wonder how much difference there is between the 2? This is probably a good thing to discuss and find out exactly what we are putting into our bodis.

I'm sure there's a thread on this somewhere, but I imagine that it would be more expensive.
When I think about extracting from tobacco I wonder about the possibilities of other things (other alkaloids and chemicals) being extracted from the tobacco with the nicotine. if anyone finds a thread on this, PLEASE post a link. I'd love to read.

and thanks for bumpin, steve, even though I left!

I am stalking reviews from RPAD on his site :p Everything I am finding is from vendors that are temporarily shut down to catch up on orders :/ Eh, I ended up getting some more Conundrum... it is very good, but not as smooth as I like for an ADV... it'll do, though - especially since I am out.

Hiya liblue1! Hope you are well tonight =]

2. 6/24 - Check out WTA- whole tobacco alkaloids. There are a few vendors that specialize in this. Just do forum search for WTA, there is plenty of threads and info, it's not even that new. Synthetic nicotine would be far more expensive than what vendors and DIY types pay for concentrated nicotine liquid. Nicotine extraction from tobacco is not difficult for a business, but somewhat impractical for an individual to do for personal use. If growing tobacco was illegal that would be a different matter.

Edit: That^^^^ is for somejerk. Sorry I wasn't more specific, there's so much info and it's not "my" thing. I won't try WTA juice, I'm afraid I'll like it. :p

@Lisa: RPAD has access to some pretty nice stuff, doesn't he? $1 per ml, yeeesh. Again, I'm not even going to try it, I'm afraid I'll like it. I'm getting better at DIY (IMO), and I'm working on more success in the future. There's a market for everything, we all fit in somewhere.

Yeah, Me too! Too afraid to try because I might LIKE IT! :p

I checked out the WTA and the Turkish blend from a couple of vendors before... I left it alone. I can't see getting hooked on a great juice that sells at such a high price and is in such a limited size. Better to just leave it alone because I'd get POd to be limited in such a way. I can get 90ml to 120ml to 236ml of some great juice for a quarter OR LESS of the price on the WTA... 90ml of Conundrum, which I KNOW I like versus three of the 10ml bottles of WTA PLUS shipping... Nah, too rich for my blood.

I'll keep hunting for a better supplier of my favorite Turkish tobacco flavored juice... my current favorite is from the same kind of limited vendor - that's why I am cutting them lose :p

** LATER **

Smoked & BBQd seafood! Whoooooooooooooo! I can hardly wait until I get a replacement smoker! I just watched them make oysters and GIANT shrimp on BBQ Pitmasters :/ I love fried oysters and rarely get them :'( Shrimp used to be a family favorite, but to me it was 'eh' - gimme fried oysters :p

** LATER **

Now they are making brisket and mac-cheese on the grill :p MAC-CHEESE!!! Heh! Chic has a GREAT mac-cheese recipe... but 3 different cheeses, still it is the best of the best. One issue with mac-cheese :/ Putting cereal on the top... frosted flakes... we never did that in my family... so I do not understand that. You want a topping on mac-cheese... you put SHREDDED CHEESE on top :p

** LATER **

Heh! BBQ an alligator! Sweet =] I have eaten alligator, but it was heavily breaded, salted, and peppered :/ Basically I had no idea what the meat tasted like since it was covered with other gunk. But I am interested in knowing how they are cooking it =] If the zombie apocalypse ever comes, I am heading to stay with Glassmanoak and Bill in 'weesiana =] We will have plenty of gator and snake! No need to worry about feeding them or caring for them, just shoot and drag in! Heh!

** LATER **

TurDuCken and frog's legs :/ Frog's legs - to me - is like dove... too small to be worth the trouble. I've been dove hunting, cooked them, ate them, but 1-2 bites is not worth the effort to me. Now a turducken... DAS SOME MEAT! :p Frog legs was a bad time for these contestants :p One guy just served frogs half raw from with his pajamas down LOL! Was nasty - this is why I stay home LOL

** LATER **

Anyway, I have another pressure cooker/smoker on the way, I don't want to wait another 3-4 weeks for the bugger to come in

CHAT -

I got HHV Legend (Purity), Heavenly Army (Purity), and Shadow (Purity) and I'll be putting it a heated ultrasonic. Don't know how many times I'll run it through, but I'm dying for some Turkish and nothing is hitting the spot. I have a favorite Turkish supplier, but I'm too stubborn to pay regular price :p When they have another good sale I'll load up, but this HHV will hold me over if I remember the Gandalf I had it was darned good. I've been tinkering with a Pink Ice and adding my own additions like cinnamon, fruits, and such but I am in a real funk with my Turkish tobacco needs XD
LEGEND 3 WEEKS.
Heavenly army 3 -4 WEEKS..
SHADOW 3 months :)

I am a firm believer in steeping all liquids but especially HHV after noticing the subtle differences. After 3 weeks legend is vape-able .. I have some 7 month old gandalf which I am selling on my fb.
Heavenly army and shadow are so similar that if you mixed them you wouldn't really notice the difference much. I am currently going thru my shadow and my bottles still say shadowfax it's so old. December 20th my bottles are labeled so yeah that's the only tobacco I still vape and man it's damn good.
I won't lie and say my HA isn't also steeped at least 3-4 months but that's just how I am. I built up such a large supply for that very purpose and I'm loving it.

I use efest and Aw batteries.. Forgot to quote the question but yeah I never take my coils below .8 and they are in still in the zone of safe as long as the air holes are opened up so your not taking super long vapes.
I'm trying to stick at 1.0-1.4 though depending on what coil I'm building for whatever tank to be used on whatever device..

I've been hunting Turkish tobacco, so wait until others get online to give you some other suggestions =]

1) Goodejuice's Wild Turkey is really, really good. I have some Ahlusion Sahara Blend steeping. It's great now, but I have a feeling it will be even better after a few more weeks of steeping. A lot of my NET pals have raved about Sahara.
