I've got 2 bottles of 'DK-4', in 24mg and 16mg. Is that the same as the DK blend? Kind of wondering if something else is the problem, as it seems even the tobacco flavs are tasting kind of crappy. Just put in a new coil, and some 'Regular' juice, and it tastes crappy too. Didn't used to. Could be one of a dozen things, I suppose. Guess I won't know for sure until I get some juice elsewhere to compare. And thanks for the links.

I thought your juice carried the IMEDICX90 certification.

I will most likely be influenced very little by an AEMSA certification. But I will be heavily influenced by an VTMMR ('Vapor Talk Multi-Member Recommended') certification. Yes, it only applies to flavor, not ingredients, but it's all we got. No doubt, all the goals, or 'responsibilities' listed in the OP are great and noble, and yes it is a start, but it is an 'honor system'. As in anything, without an enforcer to administer punishment when rules are broken, it is wishful thinking. And even when there 'is' an enforcer......what keeps 'it' from being influenced 'not to enforce'. In any business, 'word of mouth', or a personal referral, is the best advertiser. I will give preference to the 'personal referrals' I find here, from people who have no bias, over any 'industry determined' standards. And unless they are fools, the makers will give it preference too........or go bye bye.

Actually I was fortunate that the 'first' one I tried was their 'Regular', which is supposed to be a substitute for Marlboro Reds, and it was pretty fair. And it was far better than the taste of an analog. But had I started with vanilla, strawberry, pinacolada, blueberry, etc., yeah, I might have run away. So I've gone through a PG regular, a VG regular, and a cigar.....not too bad, and I've got a bunch more tobacco samples, so if they are Okay, I'll use em, but I am anxious to order from a different source, and ECblends is probably it.

Been slowly working through it, ordered from AquaVapor. So far, anything other than tobacco flavors pretty much suck. Haven't gone through but a couple tobacco's, but they seem to be Okay, but I have about 6 other tobacco blends to try. Glad I got a sample pack. As others have said, they taste like chemicals. That being said, no more juice will be purchased from them

Thanks b, probably a rare problem.

I'm bumping this to get bcarters attention and input.

ECblends posts a warning of the possiblity on their spearmint juice.

'Starting'? I would say it started 'starting' with FDR........and their use of the 'boil the frog slowly' strategy has worked like a charm.

Will it now be regulated and enforced by the ATFE&EL? Or will it be the ATFE&NJ?

What's this warning I've seen about spearmint possibly cracking tanks? For real problem?

Correcting my previous post, I have 2 - '1100' amh ego spinners.

My first kit came with 2, and 2 EVOD bottom feeder tanks. I love em. I have them on 3.3V 95% of the time, and 3.6 the other 5, and I get about a week between charges, but then I only go through about 12ml of juice a week.

Good points, but personally, I don't see the Tea Party types as representative of the Republican party. This has been demonstrated by the head aches their members in the house have been giving Speaker Boehner by not 'going along to get along', and making it tougher for him to 'cave' on many issues. Wallace made a good sound bite, and one you would expect from a third party, but I can't paint with that broad a brush stroke. If one could, there would be 'no' disagreements 'within' either party. Anyway, I'm starting to smell a 'thread hijacking' here........so I'll shut up, and try to remember something another vaper said on this thread, "..don't get me started..".

Guess that explains the 'free'.

And don't forget, dark ally's, abandoned warehouses, and backroom, vapor filled, juice joints.......or is that 'juke joints'?

Well as you can see by my ticker, I have just forgone 1000 analogs, something that seemed totally impossible 3 months ago. They are history, and will not return, as I still have a two month old, unopened pack on hand to remind me. And the thought of opening it repulses me. Now I will just continue my journey down to 0 nic, and hopefully eventually 0 ecigs. But boy am I glad I found them, as well as this forum. BTW, the 'attaboys' aren't necessary as vaping made this switch easier than I could have ever imagined.

The only way 'legal action' can effect a date is if someone can get a 'Federal' judge to issue a stay, or an injunction. And 'if' that happened, 'that' judge could lift it at anytime, or maintain it until a court hears, and decides, on it's legality. And that is 'only' if someone challenges it in court. That is 'all' that can stop an FDA regulation, other than congress actually passing a law to counteract it. That could take a couple years, but there is no chance of that even happening with this Senate or President Elections have consequences............for you, and your children. But hey, it sure doesn't hurt to squawk to your elected reps........especially if it's a democrat. And like bcarter said, 'don't get me started'.

Spoken like a true Tennessean. And all I will ad is that, IMO, if you want even more government in your house, and your pocket, let's just say, don't support Tea Pary candidates.

Don't know your circumstance, and I'm no doctor, but just 'my' opinion of any pain medications purpose is that it is ONLY to make pain bearable, not eradicate it. Now of course the word 'bearable' is subjective, depending on the individual, but IMO, pain has purpose, and I never want to 'eliminate' it totally, by artificial means. I see two drawbacks in doing so, one is that you have a false sense of wellness that could make you do something to do even more damage, and two, it 'allows' you to not try and eliminate the 'source' of the pain, permanently, if possible. If that 'isn't' possible, then that's another story. That being said, I would take nic anyday over pain meds. But yeah, I have to think that anytime we are increasing the intake of something not good for us, it spells problem. If at all possible, deal with the 'source' of the pain rather than medicate the symptoms.

Okay, if an analog supposedly contains .6mg of nic, there is no way you can consume that .6mg unless you took the whole analog in one hit. Most people allow more to burn up, than they inhale, whereas 'all' the juice is inhaled. So, IMO, trying to compare analog nic consumption with juice nic consumption is as futile as herding cats. Now, if you want to compare nic consumption 'per hit', then you may have something, as only then can you compare 'apples to apples'.

So, I guess that qualified as an official 'buzz kill'. You should have tried the SF & spearmint combo, you might have hit on something.

Anyone seen their freebie yet? I haven't.

There's a great 'Tutorial' board on this forum. You will find a lot of answers there. http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/203-member-tutorials/
