Something interesting I noticed: The amaretto batch I mixed up has changed color. I haven't tried to vape it again because I can't seem to stop using Dulcis or Midnight, but I'm hoping it's better than it was when I first put it together. Has anyone else noticed color changes in their DIY batches? This also brings to mind: I get two different levels of Dulcis, 0mg and 10mg. The 0mg has absolutely no color! Same great taste, but it is not a pretty amber color like the 10mg. So, my guess is that the nicotine has changed the color in my amaretto bottle. Interesting.

I vape all the time, too. I crave for the flavor and habit of it even when I'm working (which I can't do because I'm a teacher). Never was like that when I smoked analogs.

LMAO! Nice one.

I second this!

Not too funny, really. I ordered them because you are such a big fan and said you had not one problem with them. I was looking for good mojo on the order. So THANKS! Edit to add: and the liquid, too!

LR cartos from ENS total WIN!!! All three that I have used are spot on. Oh, and VT Clever Clove... delicious! Just like those delicious clove smokes I had back in the day. Now, if I were 26 again and didn't spend the last thirteen odd years smoking a bunch of analogs.... ah, live and learn. I really don't want to go back to being 26. Good luck with your quest to find the LR cartos that work for you.

About to try some VT Clever Clove in one of my new LR cartos from ENS. I'll let you know how it goes. The ones I had from a different supplier (none that anyone in this thread has mentioned) have improved from 5/8 burnt and icky to 5/10. I also received a LR atty from ENS and it is awesome. But I'm getting tired of this danged dripping. Though it does work well at what it was supposed to do.

P90X is everything and more that the infomercial says! I lost eighteen inches and had to be all new pants for work because a belt just wouldn't cut it. It did such an amazing job that when I had four weeks to go, my parents (who are in their early sixties) decided to do it and they look great! The muscle gaining is definitely worth it because muscle takes up less room than fat and burns more calories besides. I didn't even stick completely to the diet program they write about in on of the books that comes with it. Just ate more sensibly and more consciously with more vegetables. I say GO FOR IT! You won't be sorry and it's money well spent.

Vaping has erased two evils from my life: analogs and too much vodka. It is so relaxing now to drive to and from work with Dulcis, to be home and taste some Midnight, and to get up on a weekend and vape whatever I want all day ... all with only water in my other hand. I drank myself fat last school year (I'm a teacher) and I did P90X and trained for a half-marathon all summer, so I am super pleased to not add unneeded calories and unneeded chemicals to ruin it now. But to be real, I do still have an adult beverage on a Friday night. Vape on and great reviews!

I am using the LR cartos on my eGo batteries. I have two genuine Janty batteries from WordUp and one XL Tornado battery from Totally Wicked. I guess to clarify the DOA, it may not really be technically DOA. They give off that nasty, icky, primer, metallic, burnt vapor. Even if I grin and bear for a few more hits, it does not get any better. This happened to a bunch of my latest shipment from Nhaler and the one from here. Thanks for the reverse Taryn spin tip (yet again!), DAYVAPE. I did save the cartos so I can still do the spin trick. I hope. Gosh, I hope I don't do it wrong! Also, the liquid I'm using has all been the VT yumminess... Dulcis! It is such a bummer to get it all together and then ....BAM... ick vapor.

I love LR cartos. I hate that my most recent shipment of them has had five of eight them be DOA. I will be writing to the store I bought them from, but I have a few questions: 1) Is there a way to test a carto BEFORE I fill it? I've lost 5ml of Dulcis on this today! 2) How can that many be DOA? Sheesh! 3) Can any of you recommend good companies to get them from where you've had good luck? Mine are 2ohm. Thankfully I also have some regular cartos from our most favorite store (VaporTalk, of course) and those have only had one DOA out of fifteen. One more thing, I can't do attys because they are much more expensive (in initial layout) and all three that I have don't work now. One I never could get to work, another only produced a bit of vapor, and the third worked really great one evening and wouldn't be bothered to work for me the next night. So, bottom line, I don't trust 'em.

I love when good colleagues know exactly what you are going to do and support you. Amazing thing to have and to see. Thanks for sharing!

It really won't screw things up to add some VG to the bottle of dulcis. You will likely notice that the flavor isn't as intense (down by 20% shouldn't be too noticeable) and you will notice that vapor production is a bit higher. You might try, rather than adding it to the bottle, to add it to one of two things (since I'm not sure how you're vaping): 1) if you are using cartomizers: put two drops of plaing VG into the cartomizer rubber cap and eight of the dulciis 2) if you are direct dripping: put one small drop (if you can) and two drops dulcis This way you get the right ration and can see if it works for you without messing up the entire bottle if it turns out you don't like it for some reason. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Received the Midnight today and.... it's ok. Here's the thing: it's not Dulcis. But it is different and I do like it ok. Toking on it now. It's mellowing me out. The smell of it is not the same as the taste. I'm not a big wine drinker (beer or lime vodka and cranberry juice are my favorites), but it's decent for a switch up. I really want to try the rum and coke now, too, but the items I've received in the past from WU (a favorite supplier of mine, too, because Jeffery called me a number of times to make sure I was set up ok on my new venture, capital guy that he is), but the flavors fell flat for me. Although, that may have been because my taste buds were still shot and not tasting much. I should give the flavors I have another chance and see if my taste buds have woken up. I know my sense of smell has! (Many seventh graders REALLY need to start using deodorant!) In the end, Midnight from VT is growing on me for a, well, midnightish vape flavor!

So based on these findings, my half marathon time and effort on Sunday should be much better/easier than my training now that I am one and a half months into stopping analog smoking. YIPPEE! This, though, of course, in addition to the training I did while smoking analogs and completing P90X on September 11. I can't wait for this race! It is my fourth half-marathon and I'm so much more excited for it that I was for numbers two and three. (The first year I was excited because I did it for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and I was excited in general.)

I'm going to look this up after I post, but for the sake of the girl talk.... what is an ablation? Ok.... so I did look it up. Here's one link. Here's another. Follow up question: Why would you get one?

Tried topomax. Got really stupid. I would be in the middle of saying something and would forget what word I was going to use. Not good.

Did you see this review? I drink tea as a general rule, and that liquid sounds really good. Too bad there's nothing else from that supplier that I really need.

Neuro trauma sounds like my seventh graders... just kidding. As exciting as that sounds, I'm glad you are doing something now that doesn't involve that kind of abuse. No fun and stressful, I'm sure. I used to take wellbutrin daily, but one day I realized I was no longer depressed, so I stopped. This also coincided with realizing I was not digesting milk products very well and hadn't kept the pills down anyway, so I did just stop. Since I didn't have any withdrawal issues like I did one time when I ran out, I knew I was ok. I had to stop taking Imitrex last year because I had my first and only ocular migraine. Doctor is too leery to let me take it (constricting vessels leading to potential blindness). Nothing I've taken in the last year then has really worked because they all make me sick to my stomach and I vomit. These were vicodin, percocet, and tramadol. Really didn't like tramadol because I got itchy and sleepy but couldn't sleep, though it is the only one to make the migraine go away. Most times, if I catch it early enough, three aspirin works. Migraine doc wanted me to take a daily low dose blood pressure med, but I'm unsure of it. Maybe it would help with the migraines I tend to get after long, hard runs. I'm sure to get one after the half-marathon on Sunday. In general though, my migraine issues have been SO MUCH better now that I'm off analogs!

Thank you all for your replies! I guess 39 isn't too young to start the peri-menopause thing, huh. Great. Bummer part is I really didn't want to deal with the cycle this weekend as I am running a half-marathon. I'm hoping the heavy day will not be Sunday! As for my diet, no, I haven't changed it. And I don't drink milk in any form ... no cow, goat, soy, or almond. So that's not it. I want to say my mom started menopause around 50, but she did have two kids. I've heard that if you don't use it (the uterus), you start earlier, like you said, mastiffmom. Thankfully my boyfriend didn't want kids either since it looks like that's out the window for sure at this point. Not that I'll stop using protection. [snort] My annual was supposed to be end of this month, but then the office had to change to end of December because my doctor is going to a conference on my original date and December was the next available appointment for him to do physicals. I will be sure to mention it then, but in the meantime I will see my migraine doctor and will run it by him, too. He LOVES to do tests! I did take prednisone in August for shoulder tendinitis (thank you very much P90X), and I thought that may have messed up my cycle some. But this seems like something else now. On the plus side, maybe the migraines will go away! But I'm not too hopeful because my mom is still getting them and she's definitely done with cycles.

I'm not sure if I should chalk up a change in cycle to quitting analogs or switching to vaping. I stopped smoking analogs on Sept 1. Had my normally scheduled cycle the next week. Less than two weeks after that one ended, I started another. And now, about two weeks in again, I'm starting again. I'm not on the pill or any other hormone to control them. I'm not menopausal or even pre-menapausal. (I don't think.... I'm only 39!) I've never had any type of girl problems. Crimminy, I've never had kids! (And don't plan to.) What do you all think? I really wouldn't post this, but if someone else is having an issue I thought it would be a good discussion to have. Or maybe it's just for girl power?! I will mention this change to my doctor at some point, just don't feel like going right now. Kind of late here anyway.

That does seem strange... and uncomfortable. I've never experienced that and have not read of anyone (on this forum anyway, but this one is the only ecig forum I frequent) having such an issue. Could you try to drink some soda, something with lots of carbonation like Vernors and then actually burp to see if it goes away? Maybe you could also try PG at 75% and VG at 25%? Or maybe the nicotine level is too high? What is the mg strength? For some people (and this I have read here), too high of nicotine can cause a heartburn like reaction. Don't give up! You will find a solution!

Short answer: YES! Longer answer: As far as I can tell, if an eliquid is sold as being something you use to vape with, it should work with any personal vaporizer you have. The liquids also work whether you are using attys and carts or direct dripping or using a cartomizer.

I threw in a bottle of Midnight to my order of a bunch of Dulcis based on your review. I hope I enjoy it just as much!

You wrote a great review. I found Choco Java to be light on taste. If I hit it first thing in the day, it is better. After other flavors, it doesn't taste like much to me.
