No grassy flavor. I hate vaping hay. I'm also not a fan of muddy, moldy dirt like cavedish. I'm not a big fan of "in your face flavors" since those are the ones that send me into coughing fits. I can vape like they do on videos with this. That's very rare. If you need to cut it with PG, I'd use another flavor to cut it with. I don't think you'd want to dilute this. My first thought would be Red Tail's tobacco Road WTA but that's a lot more dry (to me). I think anything tastes good with Dark Honey tobacco. Anyway, that's how my tastes run in tobacco's.

One of the most noticable is the distinct ASHY exhale. It's kinda cool, in a guilty sorta way. Feels almost sinful.

The block is definatley illegal but so what if there's no enforcement. Even if there was, do you honestly think they'd get more than a slap on the wrist and it'll reappear in a month? There is an entire ruling corporate class that is above the law. They buy and write the laws. But we need monitoring because we could be terrorists. Just watch. The great wall of Mexico is more about keeping us in - too many ppl getting medical there.

Back to the practical, I don't see a lot. Next month is the 11th month and I bet the hospital clinic I've been going to is going to get a bill asking for a refund (it's happened before). It's too late for an appeal by either one of us because clean claim status needs to be acheived within 6 months or no payment. That's not illegal for them to do. I have a choice, pay up or find new doctors again. Legally, I don't have to pay up either however that's a grey area because again, there's no enforcement if they do deciede to go after the bill. Laws mean nothing. Enforcement is everything. Anyone know someone connected to the Mafia? Then I might get a medical dx.

​

Thanks for the further review on the WTA American ... I'm arguing with myself if I should order some today, or wait until next week. I've already gone over my budget this past paycheck ... which you'd think would slow down my spending roll, but nope, instead my thinking seems to be "in for a penny in for a pound."

That is bullcrap! Someone with UPS stole those towels. They should be replaced no charge. I am surprised that JCPenny did credit your account right away, but if they charge you anything, it should only be for the sale price and no shipping. From stories I read, it sounds like there was some 5 finger discounting going on with some of these shipping people over the holidays. Lots of stuff disappeared on people.

I'm spitting nails over here

I placed a large order of towels last week - they (JCPenney) had some higher end towels that were on sale and with the promotional sales code they ended up being nearly half-price. Yay! The order arrived yesterday - 1st thing - one flap had opened and had been taped shut, presumably by UPS.

Open box - 4 hand towels and 2 wash cloths are MIA. You'd have thought, with UPS being literally around the corner from me, that the driver would have seen the towels - remembered the open, re-taped box, and checked....nope....

Contacted Penneys by email so I could list the item numbers and colors....they emailed me that they will credit my charge for the missing items and if I would like, they will reprocess those items USING THE SAME CHARGE information. Excuse me? You want to credit my account for the missing items and charge me TWICE AS MUCH for the replacements? I reminded them that that is hardly equitable to ME, their customer and if they have a claim with UPS that's between Penneys and UPS ~not me! We'll see what happens now......

I don't think it was a theft - it would have made more sense to take a complete set - not just hand towels and wash cloths. The bath towels were there. Hopefully they will sort this out .... I'm not paying $20 for a hand towel......I haven't washed the lot yet in case I get mad enough to tell them to pick it the hell up..................today I just hate people (present company excepted).....went outside to get something from the car....big glass jar of applesauce broken on the sidewalk..with a trash can (ours) just a few feet away.....I think I'm grumpy

Have you considered going to the local UPS office for a "lost and found" box? It seems to me there should be a claim with them. My brother ordered a Vitamix and UPS delivered it to ...... someone else since my brother wasn't home. They didn't even get the name of the guy they left a $500 appliance with. My brother checked with all the neighbors and no one fessed up. UPS paid. Oops.

That sounds like a good sale though. Maybe we should start a shopping thread somewhere on ECF. I need towels. I'd never get off the internet then.

we can call it the "save money on everything else, so you can buy more e-cigs thread!"

I like this idea!

 

[beebopnjazz]

Idk aik - they're ...... over there. They are literally around the corner yet miss deliveries all the time to lox's business - which is right next door. Maybe we'll call over there.

I remember when online stores would list the weight of the towels so you had a better idea of the quality - at least JCP did. Those days are long gone.

These towels received 5 star reviews though - they are relatively new at JCP as there were only 13 or so reviews.....but when was the last time you saw such high marks on towels? They are nice though - so I really want those pieces instead of returning them. One reviewer didn't like the color I think it was and was returning in store - the manager bought them off her cuz they're nice! Not all locations carry all merchandise that's offered - that's another lure of online shopping. Whatever is in their warehouse is available to you.

Once I was at Macy's - I saw a really cute pair of sandals I wanted to try on in their circular - when I went to the store the shoe clerk told me not all merchandise in the sales circular is available - which doesn't make sense as that circular was for my region. It wasn't a blanket "30% off all sandals" - there were pictures of particular sandals on sale....she knew I wasn't a happy camper.....I left the store without buying anything.....their loss.

I don't get ppl ragging on USPS. It's the best deal going. I'd be lost. UPS is horrible where I live. They throw pkgs from the truck onto the driveway. Only FedEX makes them worse. Some corporation wants USPS money. That's the only thing wrong.

Even Walmart is that way now. Most of their stuff has to be ordered because it's not in the stores. I can't think of a store that isn't run that way anymore. Then they want to add an internet sales tax (some already are) to encourage local business??? 90% I'd buy local IF they carried it.

I'm not in the best of moods either. Ragging and ranting has it's joys then I guess.

I put a post up on Tucson Vapers for a b&m to carry Whole Cig line - no takers. There's more really good b&m's in this town than I can count, but no one carries any VG or PG free eliquid. Of course no WTA either. It's an active community and the b&m's have all had this mission to carry enough stuff so there's no reason to buy online. Well, they focus on mech's and rba's. Now this. Another rant I guess. I think they are missing 60% of the customers - WOMEN! Talking with owners, 60% of their current clientel is male, age 30-50. Wrong. So much for their mission.

This month is a "Kick-It" meet. Every newcomer is getting a FREE ego starter kit. That's pretty cool. I thought WTA would fit in nicely with that theme. So much for that idea. They carry all the other high end eliquids. I'm so tired of hearing about castle long estate reserve or some such thing like it's a fine wine. grrrr. They are missing me.

Usps has routing issues near me, if the package comes from the south it will go to my local sorting center ( 5min from post office) and then head north halfway to Chicago then come back to my local post office and take 3 days longer than estimated delivery date.

I have 0 vape shops in my town, and 2 within an hour drive. One carries mvp as ghe best item they have (they are asking if there is interest in provari before buying stock) and a mall kiosk that sells funky flavors (was when I got my kit from them, don't want to try again). To top it off, the mall kiosk changed batteries from the proprietary connector I have to ego/510 threading and selling it for half the price. They won't exchange my batteries unless there is a defect with the battery. Debating if I should overload the pass through so they will exchange them. Would only take me a few minutes to do. . Think I will keep trying customer support for an exchange first

I won a free JWraps and this is the one I ordered for my Vamo Color 2
It really looks a lot different on the device. More like a chameleon car paint.



I want to order a custom wrap for my pmini



I really want to pretty things up. Now I need the tanks.
And the drip tips. Donations accepted.

I have a cheapie gripper from Mad Vapes. I need to come up with a cover for that. Any ideas? LOL! That's my only mech, only $8 and I love it. I was thinking of a "Timey Whimey" cover. Anyone have a cutter?



I don't know why JWraps doesn't do wraps for grippers.
Well maybe it's because I'd be paying $25 for a wrap for an $8 mod now that I think about it. I really do get attached to my hardware.

My spinner is "purple" which is really a violet. I'm leaving that alone for now.

I'm open to all ideas...

 

[aikanae1]

I'm so sorry. Everyone should have a decent vape shop within an hour maximum. The mall stores are a joke. Maybe the way to grow this biz is to develop an owner operater franchise with decent equip. I've seen similar prototypes done for yogurt smoothie shops and such. I bet it could work for this. Get one in every town. A Vaper's Network.

Ahhh...the best time of the day. Home from work, beer on the left , PV on the right

I just looked at the VapeSlate app on my phone, and I was surprised to see that I have 7...yes, 7 B&Ms within just 5 miles of the house....guess Denver is pretty big on the vaping scene.

That's cool looking! I think I'd spend more time staring at my PV than vaping

Are you sure it's tobacco they are vaping in Denver?
LOL!

 

[ShariR]

Aik, I LOVE the picture you posted for a Provari Mini wrap. Beautiful.

Hmmm....one has to wonder with some of the people at Vaporleaf the other day

Starting on January 1st the lines around the recreational stores were pretty comical.

 

[Thayamax]

Anybody home?

 

[beebopnjazz]

Anybody home?

..... no......

 

[Topdogie01]

Better question here is when have I left?

Sampling a flavor that's half my normal nic and trying to decide if I can bump the nic without reducing the flavor. . Lol

 

[loxmythe]

I'm 40 posts away from 20,000

 

[fpkites]

I'm down to dregs in one of the 3 10ml bottles of juice I got when I bought my EVOD kit - is that like a rite of passage for a new vaper?

I've got 4 partial 10ml bottles and a 30ml in front of me of stuff I like, then 1 10ml on the shelf that has to be cut with something else. I just don't like it by itself. Stupid me for not tasting before buying at the B&M Better do some tasting and shopping!

5 analogs today, 3 were social and 2 were waiting for the bus...a co-worker was stepping outside for a smoke and vaping just wasn't doing it for me. An analog was just my craving. I allowed myself to torch up Pretty good for being 1 PAD a month ago!

 

[Equality 7-2521]

I'm sorry i found this thread so late....I've been vaping for nearly a year now, and I still smoke. it appears the only thing vaping has done is increase my consumption of nic.I was smoking a pack a day when I started vaping, the first day of vaping I smoked 5 cigarettes...I was ecstatic, and was sure I'd soon by off tobacco.As time wore on my smoking started creeping upward.I became obsessive about vaping, reading about and exploring everything vaping related...I've become a very educated vaper, that uses RBAs in chasing the best flavor, and to my great dissapointment I still smoke, to the point now where I am contemplating giving up vaping, and trying to beat cigs some other way. perhaps I am just an obsessive personality. The thing is i really like vaping.
