So true!

Good thing is, in theory at least, I shouldn't have to order anything for awhile LOL!

...at least until John opens his new shop and stocks Flavour Art or anything else I can't seem to live without :facepalm:

Geez, think I now (or will as soon as my orders arrive) have 67 flavors...mostly from WI though also got some FA to try from purevapes and ECX as well as a couple molecules from TPA that WI didn't carry... Should be able to create at least one thing I like from all that :blink:

Don't have too many fruits though... guess next months order will include those :party:


Have to order everything before the summer slow months set in :glare:.

BTW, Have read conflicting reports on ECF on storing flavors...seems to be 50/50 to refrigerate or just the standard cool dark place. Any further thoughts on Flavor storage?
Flavors last a long time in a cool dark area. Linda from TPA told me this personally.

The only ones I have refrigerated are the Nature's Flavors organic ones as the bottles say to referigerate. All the others I have are in storage bins.

I finally manage to stave off my compulsive e-cig shopping for a couple months (ahem...mostly), and when my nic is running low, WL is closed. :( Oh well - I think I should make it until they reopen, I just won't be vaping my preferred flavors. I do know about High Desert, but I prefer the Ice to all the others except in some tobacco mixes (I suggested H.D. check into the Ice many months ago, but I guess nothing ever came of that - I did get a response that they would check it out).

While Ultra Pure and Ice taste basically the same to me, I still pick Ice over U.P. because the latter seems to give me stomach acid in high doses whereas the Ice did not.

BTW, has anyone received a different lot# yet for their Ice? I think we've been on the same batch this entire time.

The whole Ice/UltraPure thing was supposed to be for testing. This one loooong test run. I know you are busy over there John, but after relocating, I think it's time to make Ice an official item on your site!

I sure hope he continues to stock the Ice although I am going to give my samples of the Pure and the Regular nic base a try shortly. I saw some info posted elsewhere which gave a better idea of why this and the Pure are not officially on the site yet. As mentioned previously by others this product is obtained elsewhere than the Regular base product materials. I think there was some question on what kind of demand would be there for an alternative product like the Ice and Pure and if the supply would be timely and reliable.

I hope all this is decided with the different solutions available and made clear to all who shop there on the website or by email in the coming months after the move. I intend to stay with the Wizard no matter what because he always conducts himself with the utmost no matter how many annoying questions I've sent him and others have said the same thing over and over. That goes a long way with me.

Wolcen what is your Ice lot number---show me yours and I'll show you mine :laugh:

Same here too, and Apr 2 2012 looks about the right time all this fun started. Same batch # since the first I got in May (I think that's when I got the first sample size as a freebie) right on through Mid-November.

Yes, one thing he wanted to verify was reliability of the supply (re Ultra Pure "...but if they can consistently produce at this level it might be worth it."), but given how long the Ice seems to have lasted it could take years so sort out :p

Seriously though, I haven't heard ONE complaint about Ice, and I'm sure it's spread far and wide now. I can't imagine what the hold up might be aside from him just being too dang busy to make a call and get it on the site. Then again, I guess there's also "marketing" decisions to make (what happens to his existing lineup once Ice [or Ultra Pure] is main-lined? what would be the price differential? etc.)

Anyways... can't wait until I can get some more.

John told me that he keeps the Ice in some sort of vat/tank under combustion, and for that reason he only opens it when he has multiple orders to fill. That is why he doesnt ship the Ice out as fast as he ships his regular nic, unless you just so happen to place your Ice order at a time when he's opening that tank. He's always told me to give him a delay time after I order the Ice, for this reason. Dont ask me what sort of combustion thingie it is, I dont remember LOL and didnt understand everything he was saying about it.

As for the Ultra, it comes from India .. that is all I know about the Ultra. But I dont know where the Ice comes from, maybe someone else knows.

When you say email you mean the on site messages or is there a email I should use and if so anyone have it? Soon as the site is back up I am going to make an order and get some of that ICE. He will sell that in 250ML right? Thanks in advance.

I heard a few people mention they wrote it in the comment section and did not get it so I take the extra step of emailing. Got my 2nd ICE order yesterday. :)
