Good old postal service - showing no movement for 2 days now. Maybe I'll have a surprise sudden delivery!! If not, I may have to actually eat cookies tomorrow instead of vaping them - LOL

You're not the only one seeing it. I have 4 packages in-route that have shown no movement for almost 5 days. Not happy to say the least. Looks I may be moving to the other Post Office here in town as they seem to have their act together a bit more than the one I've been using.

I'm hoping they are just slacking on the scans. They seem to do that quite a bit.

Looks like I'll be eating cookies tomorrow! Oh well....just cuts down on steeping time when it gets here!

I think some of the PO's tend to take time off a little too early when it comes to the holidays :). I've been back and forth with UPS and FedEx the past few weeks, though it doesn't look like they're coming down on their prices. I'd still be looking at nearly a $10 minimum shipping cost which is more than most want to pay.

No problem Jonathan - I get a little impatient when it comes to vapemail - lol! It will just give me something to look forward to after the holiday. Hope you have a great 4th!

You and me both :). I don't care if it's a 10ml bottle of flavoring and that's all that's in the package (...it happens sometimes!), I want it now and USPS always makes me wait lol. I'd love to use UPS or FedEx though, at least as options, but that $10+ shipping price tag is steep, especially if all that is in a package is a 15 or 30ml bottle and some packing peanuts.

Just a quick update for those ordering 15ml bottles - I'll be replacing the caps with dropper caps here in the next 1-2 weeks, so both the 15ml & 30ml bottles will soon be offering the dropper caps. Unfortunately, they won't be childproof just yet. I'm still working on getting them in through our current supplier.

WooHoo......I have VapeMail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL guess now I have to let them sit for a week before I try them

Hey! Wow - I'm a little surprised that it arrived this weekend due to Friday being a national holiday, but that's awesome!

You could most likely go ahead and try the samples that came with the order :). Normally the 15-30ml+ bottles need the aging, not so much the smaller bottles due to the size. That'll at least give you something to try while Bakers Dozen and Chocolate Chip age (though I personally like the chocolate chip fresh and as it ages - I like to taste the change as it happens).

Let me know what you think!

ROFL of course I had to try them all right out of the mail

this would be my out of the mail review listed in order of ranking so far

Pom-Berry- really loving this one the berry flavor mixed with Pom is awesome......as I vape I do find myself wondering how it would taste with a bit of Menthol/Ice or a blast of Sour


Homestead- this one and Choco Chip sort of tie for second place........I can really taste the apple and hints of caramel with hint here and there of the crust......this one I wonder about maybe some cinnamon/apple pie spice

Choco Chip Cookie-I get a sort of blend of chocolates and a bit of dough.....I would say out of the mail this reminds me of Choco Chip cookie dough right out of the mail and not so much a baked cookie

The Reserve-this is the one I would say really needs to steep......I think it is the toasted almond that for me gives it a bit of a off taste or maybe it is the oak......it is good and I get the flavors and potential from this one


all of them are good gonna finish off the tanks on them and then let them steep for a week or two and re-visit them and rate/review them again

The Reserve will mellow out a bit as it ages a bit. It's hard to do 5-6ml samples of this one as some of the flavors are outside of what a 1ml syringe can accurately measure. I got a close as physically possible (with a +/- .01ml margin of error), though this one is really a 10ml min. mix. Had I not already sent out Jomoke's, I'd of mixed in a 10ml batch and sent it out 100% as you both vape the same mg :).

I'm going to be testing PomBerry with a few modifications. Adding a slight sour note to it may be one of those test batches as pomegranate honestly benefits from it since the fruit itself is sour, so I will definitely keep that in mind :).

Chocolate Chip is like that for me as well. I get hints of the cookie, though the chocolate is really the star and is something I really focused a lot of attention on. Finding chocolate that didn't turn into a chemical warehouse freshly mixed or over time was rough lol. I've got it loaded in one of the new Aerotank Mega's right now and I can definitely see where you'd get that and that's probably all I'll be thinking about as I finish what's left of this tank off lol.

That's Homestead v2 that you have - not 100% finished, but it's getting there. Cinnamon is on the list for testing there as well and maybe a touch more apple. I have a few in the test chamber right now :). It's a complex blend, but it's getting there.

it is funny how just a few hours sitting in a tank can change the flavors.......that off flavor I was tasting in The Reserve has disappeared now

How are you liking it now? I normally drip it, more so because I like stronger flavor, though I have found the vanilla sort of drops at .5 ohms. It's still there, but the almond and the oak wood come through quite a bit more for me.

Hey - I'm jealous - I have to wait till Monday for mine. At least I can knock off a week's steep time!

Ah, I was really hoping that since they, oddly, had movement yesterday, that you would have received yours as well!

yeah the vanilla is more subtle and I get the almond and oak more on the inhale and then I taste the vanilla on the exhale

I've pretty much settled on a .7Ω single micro-coil. That seems to give me the best of both worlds without pushing the vanilla to the background as much. Over 1Ω and it seems all is well. Heat seems to be a vanilla killer unless it's custard based and then it just makes it super-strong :).

LMAO Pom-Berry is not going to make it a week for further review......I need a bigger bottle of that one!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to grab a larger bottle, you can order any random flavor and put a note in the comments section and I'll flag it :). I can get you a shipping code for first class if you just want one bottle as well so the shipping isn't $4.75 for one bottle.

Just let me know :).
