What's on Scott's mind/things I've learned

[siouxsie]

1) I hope you won't mind Ms. T, if I bash another juice here.

In search of a tobacco flavor for those times when otherwise I would cave and go buy a deck of analogs, I ordered a small bottle of ECOpure rich. 5mL 25mg. Disgusting, after being used to Ms. T juices. A few hits of nice strong throat hit, not much tobacco flavor but simulated smoke type hit nonetheless. Then the inevitable, awful, all VG taste. ECHH!
Ingredients: (had to get my magnifying glass out, seriously)

VG >97%, ethyl maltose (sweetener),ethanol, DI water, menthol, nic.

No wonder. Is it possible to make a decent juice without PG? I'll take my PG and drink more water, thank you very much.

Hilarious warnings on the bottle, possibly due to UK regs: Toxic if swallowed, toxic if in contact with skin, toxic to aquatic organisms and may harm aquatic environment.

Picture of dead tree and fish in a lake: Toxic to the environment

ECOpure indeed.

2) Scary week

Okay, this is totally my fault. Three days of chest pains, scared me bad enough that I bought low dose aspirin and started a regimen. At 40. It has happened before, because I have general anxiety disorder, but never for 3 days straight. Third day, I was so dehydrated I felt like I had the mother of all hangovers.

So I started thinking, "Am I dying or have I done something regarding vaping to cause this?" Then I remembered sucking juice through a leaky cart and swallowing without thinking cuz, you know, it's Ms.T and it doesn't taste bad. BAD IDEA. Spit it out and rinse your mouth. Don't let the juice in contact with skin. Nic in vapor, not a problem except the known hazards. Nic absorbed or ingested, very toxic. Should have known that. Back to normal now, after drinking a lake full of water and the low dose aspirin.

3) After you go Ms. T, can you go back to tobacco flavors? Maybe once in a while...I'll be trying something else but I will never forsake Ms. T unlike someone else I know who said he was switching to ECOpure and blankety-blank. And who won't return my PMs...lol.

Done venting for the time being. What would I/we do without Ms. T, forced to vape inferior juices?...Oh what so many still don't know about what they're missing.

geez scott that's scarey - i hope you are better and stay that way. yes, we do have to watch our p's and q's with nic.. i most definitly agree with you on ms t's juice, she is my one and only vendor that i care to order from. it only took one little vape to figure this out and i'm so happy that i found her.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I've only been vaping for two weeks but in this redheads typical style I ordered a ton of stuff already.

I started with ecopure rich and it hits the spot for a nic fit. I'm glad I have half the bottle left in case of massive analog urge. I bought ms ts and appreciate the smooth rich flavor and experience. It doesn't satisfy my newly analog liberated self as much though. I expect that given time I'll reach for it more often for the smooth, relaxing experience.

I tried another flavor company and like their stuff a lot as well.

My personal take is that there is no one amazing company. There are top quality companies of which ms ts is definitely one. I spent over 100 there gladly without regrets and will in the future.

I guess my point is everyone is different and I agree ms ts is great stuff.

edited to fix spelling errors because I posted this originally on my phone. lol

I sent you a PM, Just to let you know.

 

[siouxsie]

Thanks Crimmy, PM answered.

Jeseryn, if you want the rest of my ECOpure rich 25mg, 5mL, you are welcome to it. I'll PIF it to you. If you are a menthol girl, I also have a mentholated Ms. T Vanilla Custard 15mL, 19mg, that you can have, gratis. Don't know if you like that idea (menthol Vanilla Custard...lol) but I'm willing to send it to ya. Don't feel obligated, but if you're interested just PM your addy. And good luck in your continued quest!

Scott I'm happy to hear you are feeling better. I was dx's generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder years ago and remember quite well my trips to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Scary stuff Not without risks of their own, I have chosen to continue a daily med that keeps my panic attacks under control and life has been good since.

I personally don't care for the tobacco flavors so Ms T's love keeps me very happy. I also do a little bit of DIY but nothing to brag about. I have to admit tho that I am not a purist...if I crave an analog long enough that a Ms T's flavor doesn't stomp out, I smoke one. I'm all about harm reduction, and those cravings are getting fewer and farther between
