Vape-heads? Do You Vape?

[Admin]

What's your favorite juice?

I've only tried 3 so far, all from myvaporstore.

One was a strawberry watermelon - very good

Black Tea - current fave

and Mint - nice but nothing special

The ones I have ordered from Heather are Cherry Bomb, Cinful Pear, Blueberry Muffin, Vapin' Chimp, and Butter Rum.

I suspect that Butter Rum and Vapin' Chimp will be mixed together if I decide to get gourmet about it! LOL

We mix and match all the time too. Currently we get all our juice from deejstuff. I'm stuck on his caramel cappuccino cheesecake, apocalyptic cinnamon blast and sweet lil tarty thing. Wolfsgirl leans more towards tiramisu, English toffee and some fruit flavors. She has one of his creations named for her. Jenn's Juice that's a white grape, peach and mango mix.

Gaige and I both vape, we were doing quite well with it before Reunion...and we are both on the verge of becoming jull-time vapers again...Mainly, because I don't want to be huffing and puffing when I start hiking again this spring, Gaige likes to workout too, and we are both tired of the cost. We are currently using Blu, I like how tiny the cartridge and filter are, because I can vape in secret, also I like the blue light, because it doesn't alarm the alarmist type non-smokers and the ex-smokers into confronting me.

I think I saw Strappy with the one that you have on your post Medusa, or one that is similar. I do like that it lasts much longer, and the liquid seems like a cheaper option. I'm also concerned about all of these cartridges and batteries, and their future affect on a planet already bogged down with crap that is harmful and not recyclable. So, I like hearing about how you are doing with that brand.

I just googled the ego-C, and watched a video from a smoker that drags deep on a cig like I do, and it seems that I will stick with my Blu for now.

I wonder if Strappy could tell me, are you able to drag hard on your brand, or do you have to drag lightly on that one too?

[Admin]

I can get a pretty good drag on my ego-C but I have the bigger upgraded battery. I think it allows for a harder pull.

Thing I love is that a little bottle of juice for $6 lasts me a long, LONG time. The strawberry watermelon juice was all I had for the last week and a half and I have been vaping on it multiple times a day and have only used about 1/3 of it. I don't treat mine like a true cigarette but I puff on it quite a bit!

I'm reading up on all of it some more and am totally fascinated by vape culture!

[Hollylane]

OMD...I have just fallen down the rabbit hole of vape culture. I had no idea. I wish someone could talk to me, listen to what I want, and tell me which one would work best for my needs. The more I read, the more complicated it all seems. I need a vape consultant. STAT

I'm listening to the guy in the video below, and I am looking up the things he is talking about, and my head is getting a little spinny, and my brain is feeling overstimulated...Perhaps I should revisit this information when my brain has fully rested...Yikes.

chrissy vapes. When he blows real smoke, so do I...cant stand the smell in the house. Even tho he only smokes in the sub den, it filters upstairs. Dammit.

I often thought about trying it. I quit smoking back in 1996, and before that, I had quit for several years. (I smoked for 6 months in 1996 when my mom died). So I have been off real cigarettes for a long time. But, I loved smoking..and the flavors I am reading are enchanting me...

Okay, as if I believe for a second, that you didn't just put neon signs all over that web address, knowing full well I would end up with bug eyes on that site, reading until my brain explodes. Nice! That was just plain rotten.

I sampled 4 flavors today:

1) Tobacco flavor - OMG disgusting!

2) Clove - heavenly

3) Cappuccino - pretty good

4) Mocha Frap - pretty good

Going to look at Heather's also. They operate out of Newnan! That's not far from me. Black tea sounds really, really good!

I favor tobacco flavor, but it needs to steep. Depending where you get it from anywhere from 1 week to 1 month.

My absolute favorite tobacco flavor is HHV's Legend... mmmmm

Hi Loren,

The tobacco flavor are cartomizers, not a bottle of the liquid. Do they still need to steep or set for a bit? I got all of my starter supplies at vapor4life.

I'm looking at Heather's liquids now...do they tell you how long each liquid should steep or is there a standard time to steep for all of their products?

Oh, pre-filled cartomizers, sorry, I don't know if they steep or not. The ones I got with my Apollo starter kit were very good, but those/that brand were the only prefilled I got. I went to filling my own pretty quickly.

I don't recall seeing any steeping times on my HHV order. I just steep everything a minimum of a week (tobaccos and coffee more). I have enough juice that I can do that. Of course sometimes I'm left with a meh flavor while waiting for something yummy to steep, but it's a good lesson in patience.

Loren,

If a juice has not steeped long enough, how will you know? I understand the flavor will become more rich or complex with steeping, but is there a way or ways to tell if it has not steeped enough? For example, when reading some of the liquid reviews, some said they tasted like soap when they first tried them.

I wanted to give a short review of this website and products so far.

The website does not explain equipment well if you want to know the model type e-cig you are purchasing. This will become important if you want to upgrade and/or purchase parts like cartomizers/atomizers from a different vendor. What will happen is the threading on the battery will be constructed to fit certain parts and if the threading is different, you can't attach new pieces.

This website seems geared toward those who want a low-maintenance vaping experience, who do not wish to tinker with their equipment or delve too deeply into the vaping world (i.e. people who just want to use this as an adjunct to quit smoking or the recreational vaporer). They have the site set up fairly well and in a way not requiring you to know what you are doing before you start ordering. They do provide information that explains details somewhat, so you are not totally lost, but you will have to visit other websites if you want to really jump in. I think this site is focused on those who want to quit smoking.

So far, I have received 2 separate email coupons for a 40% discount on anything on their website not on clearance/sale. While it's an effective/smart business practice on their part to maintain loyal customers, it's also helpful for me and it's appreciated. They also sent 2 free flavored cartomizers with my start-up kit (which is standard practice in the industry from what I am reading to say 'thank you' for your business). This is appreciated because that gives me 2 extra cartomizers and the opportunity to try flavors I may not purchase on my own accord.

This is a guess on my part, having only sampled their juices so far, but I think their juices are not the best out there. They have a decent selection, but the flavors are simple, not complex, and you only have 1 size available - 30ml bottles. I personally like this because with 6 bottles, I will be set for a while. Even if the flavor is not great, I will tolerate it until I reorder more. Their website does have customer reviews of the liquids and a range from 0-36mg of nicotine for most flavors.

The battery comes with a 90-day warranty. This is okay compared to some other vendors. I have seen warranties up to 1 year. I don't anticipate a problem, but if one arises, then a 3 month window is not great, but likely adequate. I did read product reviews before purchasing from them and feel confident I made a decent choice. They also have a 30-day money back guarantee.

I have not utilized customer service/support yet, so I don't know how this rates.

I would say this website is pricier than other vendors also. If you take the time to research other vendors, you can get equipment for less. But, they have some nifty battery models like an all-day battery and a battery that allows you to adjust the vapor level, if that is a desired. They also have new batteries that do not have the light-up LED tip that mimics a lit cigarette. It has a closed tip, and it comes in different patterns.
