true. something is better than nothing.

exactly. Obama is trying to side step the second amendment by going after bullets... then, just on rumor alone everyone stocked up... then all these sweet new pocket sized .380s came out - but you can't find any .380 ammo. now, who's going to go get a new gun that you can't find ammo for? stocking up only works if the manufacturers are helping, which they WILL NOT DO because once there is a shortage they can jack the prices up. now we know where the term "damned if you do, damned if you don't" came from...

How Do I Get A Spade Fixed?
Stirfry replied to Tektronik's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
you send it directly to vaprlife, contact them first (i usually get a reply from them well within 24 hours (sometimes within minutes). anyhow, send it to vaprlife, with the original order info (regardless of where you got it. if it came from VT or Dietsmokes, then send the order number they gave you). i had an issue with my Spade as well as my VT PT and they fixed both with basically no questions asked. both times i needed repairs it was less that a week from then i sent it until i got it back. by they way, the symptoms were the same with my Spade, it turned out to be a center post issue. once returned to me i noticed that the clear ring around the center post was now brass. i have not had an issue with either unit since. -
i would email dietsmokes first (through their help/ticket system) i have ordered from them before and it turned out to be out of stock and i had to wait anyhow, but already paid.

oh, and another great bonus: i had a few cappuccino/coffee and menthol mixes i made up from other various suppliers that weren't "bad", but they weren't doing it for me anymore either... so i added some of this coffee flavor (literally maybe 10 drops or so) and it fixed them right up! just an FYI for those of you with "average" juice lying around who cant afford to waste it. this juice will totally overpower the coffee flavor in the original "blah" juice!

just as a side note, since a lot of people have 5v devices... the Special Roast is also awesome in the VP PT! HUUUUUUUGE amounts of vapor.. i actually like the flavor MORE in the VP PT. many people complain that higher voltage kills flavor... but this is not my experience (at least with VT or Awesome Vapor juices). Awesome Vapor's Special Roast Coffee mixed with VT Mentha in the VP PT is like a dream come true.

Icy Menthol (Reduced Pg) - Electronicstix.com
Stirfry replied to Stirfry's topic in e Cigarette Reviews
thanks. yeah, i never wanted to do reviews, since i was new and had nothing to really compare to, now that i have been vaping 6 months or so and have gone through several brands of juices (mostly coffees and menthols) and several devices... i may go back and post reviews of my earlier experiences, now that i have a frame of reference. -
as for straight up coffee (meaning not cappuccino/mocha/etc...), the Awesome Vapor coffee is at the top of my list, with E-SmokeyTreats' coffee a close second... of the brands i have tried. both hit the "black, no cream" mark, but i would call Awesome Vapors sweeter. i

Icy Menthol (Reduced Pg) - Electronicstix.com
Stirfry replied to Stirfry's topic in e Cigarette Reviews
Jason said he was checking into it, then he got back to me stating that he just vaped some to check and it had a nice mellow menthol flavor. i guess it depends on the definition of "mellow", lol, but i got NOTHING. i had his (Niquid" brand Menthol before (great!) and got come Niquid Coffee with this order which is pretty good as well... . i guess the Niquid comes from China, but the "USA Made" stuff is different, this is my first time trying it, so i can't say if this is typical of the brand, but this specific juice was not good. "Icy Menthol", to me, makes it sound like it would be cooler/stronger than something just called simply "Menthol". i just re-upped on VT Mentha right after the original post yesterday. unless i hear someone really raving about another menthol, i think i am going to just stick with VT at my Menthol base (in my menthol/coffee mixes) and just change it up by trying new coffees. -
by the way... i am getting loads of vapor off of this stuff!

... when i get new atties, i take a few drags off if it to burn up some of the excess unflavored PG they throw in there to keep it moist during shipping... if you have ever done that, you now know exactly what Reduced PG Icy Menthol tastes like. i have had electronicstix Menthol Niquid - which is easily #2 on my Menthol list, second only to VT Mentha - but i thought i'd pick up some VG/PG blend to amp up the vapor level (without taking the leap to straight VG just yet). not only did it not produce any more vapor, it was actually far less vapor. in addition, all i ever hear about VG is how thick it is, and even though it's a "blend", i was still expecting either the same consistency or thicker that typical PG juice thickness. this stuff is just slightly thicker than water. anyhow, back to taste/flavor. yeah, there is none. like at all. not even the slightest hint of menthol or mint AT ALL. the closest thing i can compare it to, as i said above, if taking a hit off a brand new atty WITHOUT having added any juice to it yet. i hate to be harsh, as i DO very much like ENS and their products, but this stuff is utterly disappointing. it's not so much a "bad menthol"... but just "NO menthol". granted, it DOES taste pretty bad, but the 'menthol flavor' has nothing to do with that bad taste since there is no menthol taste at all. if you are looking for a good menthol, stick with ENS' Menthol Niquid (or VT Mentha). PS, i did contact Jason, i am hoping i got a bad batch or something. i will update if that is the case. but as it stands now.... not good (and of course i got a 30ml bottle)

ok, first off, it's tough to give a straight-up review of any coffee (or menthol) juice, since i ALWAYS mix the two. Menthol mixed with either coffee or cappuccino is pretty much all i vape. that being said... Special Roast Coffee is simply amazing. it has a nice strong flavor, is slightly sweet, produces good vapor, and smells like god himself brewed a fresh pot, lol. it also seems thicker than other brands.. all of which are positives in my book. it is NOT "creamy" in any way, like cappuccino juices are. some people call their juices "coffee" when in fact they are so creamy they should really be labled "cappuccino" or "creamy coffee". that is not the case here. no cream what so ever. it is a bit sweet, but not in the 'sugar in my coffee' way... but more in the way that maple syrup or icing (like icing on a cinamon roll) is sweet. i may be splitting hairs here, but i it's not the same sweet as sugar is. it's almost like you washed down that bite of syrup-soaked pancake with a big swig of rich black coffee. just sweet enough to kill the bitterness of black coffee, but not enough to kill the coffee "strength"... anyhow... i only had a sample (3ml) of they previous version (named simply "coffee"), which is long gone, so it's hard to tell you all the difference between the two. all i can say is that their previous coffee immediately jumped to the top of my favorites list, and this new version easily maintains that top spot. i can tell you that without a side-by-side taste test, it is effectively the same. meaning if you had they previous version and liked it, you will definitely like this one as well. if you never had awesome vapor's coffee or special roast coffee, and you like coffee juices, then you simply MUST give Special Roast Coffee a try! as a side note - and it's little things like this that put the icing on the cake sometimes - their juice bottles are sweet as well. they are "flat" , like eye drop bottles kind of (if you look at the bottom, it's oval instead of round), much more "pocket friendly"

my is one the way back to me after a repair. my (blue) LEDs were actually quite quite bright, but "soft" (due to the fogged white light tube). they did dim somewhat, but that was due to the malfunction (if i fiddled with it i could get the LEDs to go bright again). my point is you may want to shoot Vaprlife an email, maybe there is something wrong with the unit. i will say there isn't the massive halo of light like in some of the videos, but, seriously a lot of those videos are not the best quality and you can see halos of light or masive glares from the other lights in the room as well. i assumed before i even got one that it's wasn't going have that light-saber-like glow as some videos make it appear.

i am a VT Mentha fan myself. one of the best menthol juices i have tried, and the ONLY one that actually FEELS like menthol (former analog-menthol smokers, you totally know what i mean!)
-
yes, all his atties (colored and gold band) are awesome. it's the service that sucks...
-
i have, at various times since september, ordered almost every atty Parked carries; gold-band Jantys, white tie, red scorpion, regular all-black joyes... and every one worked the same. if i had to choose i would say his specialty atties (red scorpion and white tie) are on par with the gold band Jantys... if not better. as a matter of fact, i'd go as far as to say that the white tie atties are hands down my favorite (of maybe 6-7 different kinds i have tried). i had customer service issues that led me to no longer order from there, BUT i do love his atties.
-
there you go. they have pink AND lavender!
-
i know healthcabin.com has pretty much every color known to man, as do other china sites, but it depends on if you want to order from china. the downer is shipping cost and time, the upside is starter kits are only like $30-$35. i know i saw pink at healthcabin... but not on a US/Canada/UK site...
-
ok, not judging you or making any insinuations about you at all... BUT... on the list of "famous last words", i do believe anything starting with "i was just dancing with these two women..." is pretty high up on the list, lol. to top it off, combining "in mexico" and "was just dancing with two women" is clearly some kind of force-multiplier.

510 Pcc Needs To Be Bigger And Hold More Stuff.
Stirfry replied to Rattlehead's topic in General Vaping Discussion
i saw a 510 mega PCC somewhere (for the mega bats), and it holds two batteries (and less extra carts, which i don't use anyhow). it would be nice to see a two battery PCC for the standard 510 batteries, even if the PCC had to be slightly larger. edit: found it. it's at healthcabin,. but again, this is only for the mega bats. i would like this layout for the standard size batteries: two bats and an atty. no carts. -
How Much Juice Do You Use On Average?
Stirfry replied to hardwired's topic in General Vaping Discussion
about one 10ml bottle per week. 15ml+ if i am home more than usual and using the VT PT (5 volts) *16mg nic i was a 2-3 pack a day smoker for 25 years. -
his may be a silly question, but on those "bottom button" mods... do you use your pinky knuckle to engage the button, or what?
-
good question... i have never even tried anything other than a 510 atty...
