Isn't it so fun??? and interesting.....like you get to understand what someone else is into and suddenly the flavors you didn't like you are like, OMG she will LOVE this! Nina and I like almost exactly the same things....she just likes them stronger, but as far as flavors we go for the same type of things (except that rose water, ick, LOL....she knows I am just mesing with her)......but I just think it is fun sharing and trading flavors. It is fun when you are excited about some new flavor and you can send it off to someone else and two days later they are having fun with it too. I am glad you are having fun.....now I am getting a package ready for Sharon....it is lots of fun to share.....almost like being a good little kid again, LOL!!!

and Nina, you are brave ordering TEN bottles all at once, LOL. I would have been devastated if you had come back saying I was insane, LOL. Nah, I would just have moved since you know my address, teeheehee. But since we have agreed on like every flavor we tried, I was pretty sure you would be happy. We must have similar kinds of taste buds. All I can say is I wouldn't care if it came in a black bottle at that price. I mean it is less than 1/3 of most other prices, and even the flavors I initially thought were so so, they are AMAZING mixed. Like the belgian waffle, it was just too sweet and I am the first to admit, I have a hard time with overly sweet stuff. SO that maple syrup, really sweet for me.....BUT then I mixed it half and half with pumpkin....OMG amazing! I have been vaping that for two days straight now. I will definitely order more of it, it is excellent....the pump cuts the sweetness down and it just tastes perfect. Just sweet enough. The rose water......ummmm, NO thanks....that sounds like vaping perfume....BUT that bacon...I don't know, it just seems so intriguing, I am gonna have to do it...I bet that would be good with the waffle as well. I will NEVER need to eat breakfast again at this rate, LOL. I can vape my food in one pv and vape my beverage in another....Hey, for dinner I can lay out 3 or 4, all with a different course, LOL. Honestly though, it makes me mad when I pay 8-9 bucks for a 10ml of liquid and I hate it.....it doesn't bother me when it was UNDER $7 with the coupon code for 30ml. Plus I like sharing my stuff....and what I don't like, someone else is bound to like, so it doesn't bother me in the least....just more to share. Although so far, I love them all either alone or with other stuff. So I WILL share, but man, it is HARD, LOL. Only kidding, I love sharing with my friends! The sharing e liquid has made this SO much more fun!!!

Pumpkin spice is the ABSOLUTE best flavor I have EVER vaped this year. It is my go to flavor. It is awesome mixed with white choc, coffee, cappucino, double dutch choco, belgian waffle and i don't remember what else. It is freaking amazing. AND weird because I am not a pumpkin pie person. I don't know what the "spice" part is, it is almost like a cinnamon or nutmeg type thing, all I can say, is I it freaking great. I LOVE that flavor. Nina....send me some clove, I want to see if it will work in my cartos....I only have like 800, I can sacrifice a few to try, LOL. For anyone who even slightly likes pumpkin, I really recommend the pumpkin spice.....it is REALLY good. It is spicy but like in a good way, not gross or anything. I just ordered two more new flavors plus more grape for my husband. I ordered coffee, which I had tried at the Windy City Meet and I had also tried at least 10 other coffee and coffeeish flavors at the meet and this one was the ONLY one that tasted like coffee. I also ordered cinnamon roll....I bet they will be good together. I send grape to you Nina.....there is NO way you won't know it is grape. my husband is going through the grape like a madman! He looked EVERYWHERE for a good grape to no avail....they mostly were just way too weak...he loves the VR grape. I too love the labeling....too hard to always remember what you ordered when and all that.

That is for a reason....to keep the light out....that is VERY important with keeping the nic fresh and strong. I don't mind at all, I can totally tell by how much the bottle weighs. I actually like that. I don't worry about keeping it out on the table next to me and hiding it in my juice drawer. I hate that you are supposed to keep them in the dark to keep them fresh. I rather have the white bottle....and yes they still do use the white bottle. Of course if it bugged me that much I would just pour it into one of my other empty 30ml bottles. I wash them all out thoroughly and keep them.

Congrats...you are off to a great start!!

The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
juliery replied to Christopher's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
Makes sense to me......I can totally appreciate that and back it up from a personal standpoint. Money can be a motivator, but not the best motivator. People want the freedom to be the best they can be, to feel they have a purpose beyond a dog and pony show. -
Congrats, and you can always get bigger and better batteries with the 808 fitting....you can also have custom mods made with an 808 fitting....Jolly is doing 2 for me now. Just be careful with the cartos, you have to keep them wet or you will get a nasty burnt flavor. I ONLY use cartos and have been using the same ones for a year, my husband too. I have a whole system for cleaning them, like 20 at a time....in the past year we have only had like ten die, total. But you HAVE to get them REALLY clean. If you are on FB you can request me as a friend and I have a private photo album cleaning cartos......some people say to just soak them in hot water, but if you want to be able to have them totally with NO flavor, NO odor, and NO germs you can't just put them in hot water, that won't kill any germ. Anyway, if you are interested, my FB profile is facebook.com/juliery ....just request me as a friend and I will add you to the people allowed to view the album. I just don't have it as a public or "all friends" album because I don't want a million comments from everyone. Unfortunately last year at a HS reunion people were acting like complete jerks about the vaping, calling us names like they were 17 instead of 47....honestly I have never seen such idiocy in my life. At least half the people there were smokers and OMG, the way they carried on about how "stupid" "retarded" "dumb" "***" (sorry don't mean for any of these words to be offensive to others and I don't normally use them this way myself, but honest to God, these are the things that were said to us) "fake smoking"....so many others I can't recall them all. But in general they said we looked ridiculous and it wasn't cool, etc. Anyway, I don't need to have them say those things on comments so I have it private only for my vaping friends. I usually keep the cap off my carto and use a drip tip....that way I can keep topping off the liquid and the carto stays wet until it starts getting too gunked up after a day or 3 (depends on the carto)and then it goes into the "needs to be cleaned" container. Also be careful with the automatic battery....I haven't ever had a problem with them going off when not being inhaled, but they are VERY easy to get juice into because the battery is open and then you ruin the battery. That is the only way we have had them die, from getting liquid into them.....so when you have a carto on those, I would NEVER add liquid without taking them off....and until you get a feel for how much liquid it takes to keep them wet, but not overfilled, I wouldn't do it on the manual battery either. It takes awhile to know when they are getting dry (despite the fact that they are still producing vapor), but before you get a burnt taste. Nothing in the carto is actually burning as far as material in the carto itself and that nasty taste can totally be cleaned away. Anyway, I have the whole thing outlined in the album.

Thank you!!!

I have no idea.....I don't think the heath is TOO sweet....but it is absolutely the sweetest flavor I will vape. I just can't vape caramel (or at least the ones I have tried, I haven't tried it from VR but maybe one day I will give it a shot)....and I can't stand RY4 (yuck)....have had that from a bunch of places and it is so unGodly sweet to me, I can't stand it. I am also going to send you some Belgian waffle, which after I bottled some for you I thought of an idea. I mixed equal amounts of the Belgian Waffle with Pumpkin (which I had gotten and liked but not loved). Anyway, it REALLY cut the sweetness of the waffle which is VERY sweet. If you love maple syrup it would be awesome. I like maple syrup but not the really sweet kind. I don't mind sweet if it is a FLAVOR, like in real life.....like say really ripe watermelon or in bubble gum....but I don't like cotton candy...I don't like things that just taste like a ton of sugar with no real flavor. That was a HUGE problem I had in the beginning of vaping, so many liquids just seemed insanely sweet but without a really distinct flavor. I don't know if that makes any sense. I am just really sensitive and picky with the sweet flavors. But then the white chocolate is sweet to me but I like the flavor of it, so I can vape that alone, but LOVE it mixed with coffee, cappuccino, pumpkin spice, heath bar, and all kinds of stuff. We have bought 3 bottles of the white chocolate. My husband vapes it only by itself, he loves it....I mainly use it with other stuff, but once in awhile vape it alone. I love flavors like the white choc or spearmint that you can use to mix with a ton of other flavors....those are what I call my "mixing flavors". They just seem to do wonderful things for other flavors more than to vape alone. It doesn't bother me at all to have mixing flavors......I figure it makes other stuff I like go further AND it helps flavors I wouldn't like on their own. Like the belgian waffle, was just too much sweet maple for me, but now mixed with the pumpkin I LOVE it....didn't LOVE either on their own, but now I absolutely LOVE them together. I am glad I have all these empty bottles to mix stuff in now....I am like a mixing maniac, LOL.....I don't know if the double shot would be more choc than toffee, you can write him you know......He is very helpful. Just say that you need more of the whatever makes the toffee flavor to sweeten it up, etc. In the meantime I will send the other stuff....I am intending to do that in the morning IF I am feeling okay. All depends on how much I am shaking and I have no way to predict that! BUT I will do my best to help you out! I think the clove/orange/spearmint could be good...or really any kind of fruit...you know what else could be good??? bubble gum flavor. In one of my many quit smoking attempts I would get the mint nic gum, and once it was chewed out but I didn't want to spit it out because I NEEDED to have my mouth busy I would add a piece of dubble bubble to it, or half a piece of bubble yum. It actually tasted good mixing the mint flavor into the bubble gum. I know, pathetic, mixing nic gum with bubble gum just to have my mouth busy, LOL. I chewed that for nearly a YEAR...mixed like that. Even the fruit flavored bubble gums were good with the mint...so I would bet almost any fruity gum flavor would be okay with the spearmint. Try it and let us know!!!!

I Am New And Have A Question From The Seasoned Users
juliery replied to Dartkitten's topic in New Vapers Forum
It really depends how much you vape, I have a 750mah battery and it lasts me about 4 hours give or take depending what I am doing. There is NO way I would get anything near 10-12 hours. BUT I was a VERY heavy smoker and now I vape constantly. It really depends how much you vape. My husband could probably get 10-12 hours on it but he only smoked 1/2 pack of smokes a day. Have you considered getting a good passthrough? If you are either near a computer most of the time you can use it on your computer in the USB port OR you can buy an electric adapter, which personally I love, you can use it on an electric adapter. I bought mine from vaporkings.com for $10....and my PT is an automatic one (didn't know that when I ordered) but it was only $10 free shipping from alvinecigs.com. Be warned though that PTs tend to blow out fast unless you buy the box type that people like Jolly make....but they look NOTHING like a cig at all, and you do have to push a button to use them. HOWEVER, the power is way more and it is nice that you can vape away and not charge anything. For $10 I would buy a few of them. Of course there is a cord at the end of it, to go into the usb port or adapter, BUT other than that it looks and feels just like an auto battery. Took me about 10 minutes to get used to the cord, but it is so much stronger with the outlet/wall adapter. I love it. So perhaps this is something you might like at least while batteries are charging and when you are just at home or whatever. Just a thought. -
I thought the same exact thing when I started vaping. I bought ONLY auto batteries because I HATED having to press a button. Fortunately I happened to buy from smoketip.com which is a KR808D-1 device. I don't know what the revolution is, if they are compatible. They have the regular battery, which doesn't last very long,but is the exact size of a 100 cig with the carto on it, and now they have the long which is like 250-280mah, can't remember. But they have a lifetime warranty on their batteries. So far I have only had one go bad....you send it to them, they send you a new one,....You have it in like 5 days from when you send it to them. It has their logo at the top of it so they know it is theirs, don't need any receipts or anything. When I first started I loved it, because it was the most like smoking. However, auto batteries do tend to malfunction....but since they have the lifetime warranty who cares. They cost a little more initially, but again, since you get a replacement whenever you need it, it is a VERY small price to pay. Personally, I don't regret that purchase at all, my husband still uses those batteries along with others...no button pushing and if they break, no big deal.

Thank you very much!!
-
Thank you very much. It is certainly a MUCH easier way to stop than any of the other useless methods. I think almost everyone would agree that the MAIN issue is the HABIT of smoking....THAT is what we were missing in every other method. If it were just the nicotine it would be simple....We would be clear of that in a few days. But the nicotine isn't even what poses the danger, and really, I don't even care about the nicotine....it is the ACT of smoking that I missed. And you are right....it is VERY easy, because it is the closest thing to smoking without smoking.....and it is a hell of a lot less dangerous for sure. Even if someone told me it was 10% as dangerous....awesome, I'll take that....but I am certain it is a much smaller number than that, so even better! Your year anniversary will be here before you know it....I really can't believe how fast it went and soooooo easy!
-
Thank you and congratulations to you too! It is really amazing, isn't it??? I never ever thought I could really quit for good and now I know I will never smoke again.....so long as the FDA doesn't mess it all up. As long as these judges go by the CONSTITUTION instead of made up BS we should be okay, ultimately. I think we will have a long road together fighting for our rights though. I am happy to do anything I can. Most everyone who knows me fairly well knows I am disabled and suffer from a couple debilitating illnesses. I miss interacting with people and helping people. But this gives me a way to help people in whatever limited way I can. I can send liquid and help with whatever experiences I have, and that is a HUGE help to me. It is hard feeling shut off from people much of the time, but really, when I am on here I don't feel that way at all. It is so nice to be able to help anyone however I can, and I am thankful for it. I know I ramble and I appreciate that I haven't been banned for that, LOL. Everyone here is so wonderful and that is what sets this forum apart from so many others.
-
Thank you!!....I remember I had a kind of tough time at the beginning, I really didn't even WANT to vape. I really didn't think ANYTHING would help me quit and I sort of figured why bother. I figure if I can stop smoking then ANYONE can. I smoked SO much, for SO long, and I am SOOOOO grateful to be vaping and hopefully protecting my future health. If I can help ANYONE with this journey in any way, I am happy. I want us all alive and healthy for a VERY long time!!!!!!
-
awwwwwwwwwww, thank you!! I try to reply to all the new people because I remember how awkward that first post feels. I try and help with anything I can. I know I tend to ramble on and I am thankful that people like you tolerate it, LOL. Everyone who contributes on here makes it a fun, informative and encouraging place. I think it is awesome no matter what question anyone poses tons of people will answer...like the person who put up the "short survey" and the person who asked about sexual benefits, etc. No one says anything ignorant like on some other forums. I registered on several but never posted because I didn't like how things would deteriorate into a bunch of ignorant snipey remarks back and forth. I really love VT....it is a great forum!!! Thank you for your kind comment!

same thing here....the vapor is heavier than the air in most places, particularly if the air is already humid....but in the SW it would be dry. But here near Chicago my vapor goes lower too. When the air is more humid and it lingers a few moments, especially in a mostly dark room it goes really low, like maybe 3 ft off the ground, regardless of where I blow it. Our detectors are less than a year old, we had to have them all replaced....a code issue. We blew into ours and it didn't do anything. I really wouldn't want any detector that would be that easily set off, I would be afraid after a few times of it going off for no reason if it ever did go off for a real reason no one would be running like I would want them to be and they should be. I would think if vaping particulates would set it off which have NOTHING to do with smoke or even heat then would air freshener set it off? Or shower steam, which at least is hot? I want a detector that warns me of REAL danger. Now we have separate carbon monoxide detectors...didn't try to set them off, but I am assuming they wouldn't go off. I wouldn't want them to, then how am I supposed to ever know when there is a true emergency? It would really worry me to have something that easily set off. Thankfully even though I vape like a lunatic I haven't set off any detectors anywhere....not in anyone's house, not in any hotel or our timeshare condo, nowhere. Those condos are still being built, they are brand new builds so I would assume they have the latest detectors,don't really know, but I haven't set them off. My son did set one off burning bacon. But then honestly, I never even considered it so I can't even say for sure where I was in relation to the detectors in various places. I just don't think of all these things. I am not doing anything I am not supposed to so I really don't think about it. Places I wasn't allowed to smoke, I didn't smoke. But the reasons for not smoking don't even apply to vaping...the stink and fire hazard in a hotel type place. So far I haven't set off anything and IF I ever do I will act like I have NO freaking clue why it went off. Too bad they don't go off from people dousing themselves in tons of stinky perfume that makes me sick. THAT would be useful!!!
-
Okay, so if I order bacon you will try it too??? I am really curious. Wouldn't it be funny if it became our favorite flavor? I just brought this up to Paul and he was like......who would want to vape bacon all day? I said maybe not all day but who would think any flavor would be good all day??? We smoked yuck morning, noon and night and now suddenly we are all picky about flavor....really sorta goofy when you think about it!
-
I can honestly say there has been no difference for my husband or myself. He would have done it every hour before and is still the same now. He is no different now than he was 15 yrs ago, despite age and smoking! 100% honest
-
THANK YOU!!!!
-
Thanks.....NEVER EVER would I have believed I would stop smoking so easily! I tried everything in the past, and I was miserable every minute I wasn't smoking....now I am not smoking and also not miserable!
-
THANK YOU....I thank you for all the same. You have made vaping a TOTAL blast for me. It is so fun sharing liquid, sending stuff back and forth and getting to try things I would never have tried...like huckleberry, wouldn't have entered my mind! YOU are special and wonderful, and caring and generous, I am so glad I have gotten to know you. Seems like I have known you forever! I am so glad we can help each other with this experience, and it is really is an ever evolving and changing journey. SO much more fun with vaping friends!! Just as much love back to you!!! Love you, Julie

New Carto Tastes Like Plastic
juliery replied to Vapmiles's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
I don't use all VG in my cartos....it just doesn't soak in as well like mainly PG....the most I use is 20%vg, just my opinion. I also only top fill.... and also let them stand for a bit till it is nice and soaked in. I have had ones that looked wet but then after an hour of letting them sit, they clearly aren't that wet....I take a toothpick and push the filler against the side and there is no liquid squishing out, and there should be. The only time I have had them taste bad is when they aren't wet enough. Using bottom fill I got that all the time....because you are forcing in the liquid but basically it can just run through the filler without actually soaking in. Since I have top filled I haven't gotten a nasty taste, as long as they don't start getting dried out of course. I use them with a drip tip and top off the liquid when I know it is getting drier. -
OH I am glad to hear this.....Jolly is making us PTs like what you are describing and he says they will out survive us. I have gone through more PTs than I can count. I use mine on an outlet adapter from VaporKings so is running at 5 volts and it produces TONS of vapor....but I am sure this thing will be dead soon (but I only paid ten bucks for it with free shipping, so oh well). The longest I have EVER had one last is 4 weeks, that was the one from cigeasy.com......the ones from V4L have lasted anywhere from a few days (under a week) to 3 weeks. I have had others too, from various places, all dead in less than a month. Jolly is charging $15 for his PT, and frankly I can't wait. He uses a horn button, so a nice big comfy button...the box like you are describing and a big fat cord, I would assume the same type of thing. I don't care what it looks like, I just want it to last. He wrote me a description of what these cheapo "cig type" PT's are made like, with a circuit board inside that dies in two seconds. The box ones are made entirely differently. I am glad you like it, I am sure I will love the Jolly one too. It doesn't need to be pretty, it needs to freaking work longer than a few weeks!! Congrats, I was glad to read your review!

That is funny because I think the heath bar is REALLY sweet....I am not into the SUPER sweet flavors. I can think of two that will sweeten it up...I have heath bar, obviously. The Bavarian creme is SUPER sweet and I could send you like 10ml of it if you want because I use it as a mixing flavor, to do precisely what you are saying, so I don't need this big bottle....the other flavor that would also work is the white chocolate, which I also have...but that is not as sweet as the bavarian creme. Please private message me if you would like either or both...I will be happy to send you some, I have little empty bottles precisely for sharing. The pumpkiccino is my favorite, for the obvious reason, I made it, LOL. what about clove on top of the spearmint?? I am afraid of the mints, all of them I have ever had from numerous places are SOOOOO strong, and it gives me a headache....I think I would ask to have him cut the flavor in half of normal, LOL. I think the bav creme would sweeten the heath bar like crazy. The heath bar though is the strongest sweetness I can handle.....bavarian cremehas a good taste but I couldn't vape that for long by itself, super sweet, but in a good way, hard to describe, but using it for mixing is perfect. It sweetens things without just tasting like sugar was dumped into them, if that makes sense? oh, and in the pumpkiccino one of the flavors that makes that is the bav creme but not that much,...so you could put some in that too. Let me know if you want some to sweeten those two up. Oh, you might LOVE the belgian waffle, that is REALLY REALLY sweet....it is a maple syrup type flavor mostly. Just private message me, I am always glad to share whatever I have!! Love that I can buy all those empty bottles, LOL...plus I boil my used bigger bottles.
