    Thesheepdog got a reaction from Uma in The Search For An Understanding and Teaching Juice Dealer *SIGH*   
    No matter what fancy mods I may get and how many cartos, tanks, or whatever else I acquire with fancy tips and flags, pictures, or songs attached; They are all come to nothing without the Nicotine and the juice that carries it.

    I have what, 40 days off tobac after 40 years + (age 17 in military) and to me staying off tobacco is all about the juice and the nic. Without the nic I am in trouble. If I cant find decent juices I am in trouble.

    I need a juice dealer who is willing to listen to me. To teach me if needs be. To tell me what he can do and how it will fit my needs. One who can take the time to tell me about his juices and what they are like. Are they bland? Are they sweet? Do they needs weeks before they are consumable? Are they ready from the mailbox?

    I thought I had found such a dealer. he has two juices I tried and were wonderful. As long as I was raving and thankful he was always there for me. This dealer has more than two juices however. I order others and what I got was vile.

    So I went to him in case he didnt know. he said "sorry I will redo them and resend". I tried to ask about them being bitter and not sweet. he yelled at me saying I should have asked for sweet or more sweet. How would I know? All I knew about his juice was the two I tried?

    So now I need to ask you all if you know your dealers. Who will take the time to talk with me and see what my needs are and try to do that for my money.

    His web site said nothing about sweet/unsweet/or anything else. I am just supposed to know what is sweet and what aint. Like I said "I AM NEW!" I know only what I am taught!

    I have maybe 50ml of usable juices. (usable for me meaning sweet and not vile) and over 150ml of unusable juice. In my life Peppermint was sweet like candy canes. same for wintergreen. Like the gum maybe. Strawberrys have natural sweetness at least. Who is it that buys and like these with zero sweetness? If these things mean something else shouldn't the seller be required to say so?


    So, please, if you know of anyone who actually earns your business, who can I go to? Do any of you know a dealer who will actually form a relationship with his customers anymore?

    Vaping isnt a toy for me. It is literally life. And I am sick and tired of paying hard fought money for garbage.


    Any help folks?

    I have seen something called "guest tips" also. The disposable tips are use once and toss. I dont remember where they are loacted but bet someone can find them. I got one from a juice dealer once. You could also carry a few Njoy's cigs and just give them out. Then tell them that imagine that with good tastes on top of the njoy nic hit.

    People dont share ciggs at work so they should respect your ecig mod also. Now if the person is cute and you are available.....

    A lot of what you describe was my first week after stopping tobacco. I tried to go cold turkey and the cramps, gas, bloating, quesiness, and sick feelings were my detoxing I think. Also the nervousness and anxious almost paranoia. (I used to smoke cigars and inhaled so I was very high nic) Instaed of breathing better for that week it got worse and I went to my Dr. I told him what I was doing and he said to get a 7-11 e-cig to get the nic to ease my withdrawls. He offered patches but I didnt want those.

    After going thru maybe 10-15 njoy's I found this place. I have been helped tremendously and now am stable-ish!

    Go see your Dr. Read the posts and try some things. We will all help and so will I. Just dont go back to tobacco as it will kill you and your family. (and you could go thru this all over again)

    I havent been better very long but many here have years!

    You might be, but your symptons so far sound like detoxing. You still would be wise to consider a Dr appt to make sure it isnt something else. 100% VG is super thick like sludge and probably would not vape well. I guess you could add distilled water to it.

    I am still having changes. my taste buds slowly changing. Getting your nic should help.

    I have a fishing tackle box I keep all mu stuff in at home. It has steadily grown, and I keep it in the basement where it is cool. It contains all my liquids in the bottom and then all the accessories in the slotted drawers. Actually works great and I can keep my different stuff in different areas and when I go on an extended trip out of town or a boat trip down the river, the whole case goes with me.

    I may have to try the T3s. I totally disdain the copy T3's I had as they leaked and were not precise fitting. Mine both stopped working at all.
    The T3S is name brand I guess?

    Patrica dear, let me know if those juices end up being sweet and usable. I usually want candy sweet but never get anywhere near it.

    I had found an absolutely delicious juice. Strawnanna Smoothie from Nicquid. 70/30 12mg. I was vaping it up like a kid goes thru kool aid. Then I saw a post by someone mentioning pre-steeped juice.

    It turns out the place does what they call "ultrasonically steeping" before shipping new juice. So I went to look. ( greenmanejuice.com) I looked around and chose the two that were mentioned by the poster. I dont remember who that poster was but thank you!

    So I ordered the two mentioned. Just to try and see if this steeping made any difference. And that is now why I post this.

    I got two juices in the mail, Shamrock Shiver, and Druid's breath. 70/30 12mg. I tried the Shamrock and it is yummy right out of the mail. A lot like the McD shamrock shake with extra mint. Then I tried the Druids breath.

    Now the old stand by, the Strawnanna, tastes bland. The Druid's breath has taken over as my go-to juice. That is *not* what I wanted to happen! So far I have only found 3 juices I can stand and these three are it.

    Now one of them is "meh" to me. Has this ever happened to you and how can I punch up the bland one?

    Thesheepdog got a reaction from mcquinn in Steeping   
    rant/

    I have another opinion. Steeping is what you need to do when some sales people send you a product that isnt ready for sale but they send it anyway. I think if they sell vanilla it should be perfect when it leaves the store and gets to your door. When you open it the thing you say is "amazing" not OMG it reeks!

    If you ever smell a juice that isnt ready for human consumption you will wonder "why did I buy this??" They will tell you to open it and let the nasty stuff go away. They will say it will get better. How about we say "you dont get paid if and until the promise is kept for what I bought?" Never will happen.

    If you buy a burger it should be ready to eat. A new car should be road ready. You buy an airline ticket for a plane not tested and certified yet? No thank you!

    oh no i definitely understand that. i just wondered bc they have had reported leaking issues with easy fixes and my guess is with the threads that you lost a thread and would need to chase them to get them back. but i definitely understand the feeling of just wanting it to work no fuss no muss. i was just seeing if it was an easy fix and i could help you get them back

    Welcome to VT. I was a pipe tobacco and cigar abuser for ; well since Vietnam if that tells you. For me that was at aged 17. Working 12 hour days or more and missing meals but burning thru dozens of cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco to keep going. It was a war you know.

    Since then I was almost always with a stogie in my mouth. It's a wonder why I havent had more go wrong with me like cancer, copd, etc. I do have respiratory issues, cpap, and until recently always smelled like an ashtray.

    E-cigs can mean freedom for you. has for me. and like my buddy Medic says, always have and get backups. You will have issues and a backup can make the difference in a happy day or Nic withdrawl. It aint nice.

    My tatsters ar still coming back so I am learning all over again what things are like. Things I used to like I may not anymore. Things I hated I may love now. Same will be true for you!

    hang out, ask questions, and be part of the family. I am convinced the loving people here are at least 50% responsible for keeping me off the poisons now!!

    I have several batteries but in my collection are two Ego Mini 400mah. I got them from Sweet-Vapes.com for about $10. They are small, very small, but last me 7-8 hours per charge and only take about 2 hours to fully charge. My Kanger T2s and my new favorite T3S are larger than the battery. I added the small ones to my collection to have something cheap I could take on the lake on weekends and take chances with around water and in the water that I wouldn't want to do with my other larger more expensive batteries. I love the way they perform and the stainless look is pretty cool as all my others are rubberized black. They run about 3.5v and seem to hold that all the way through the battery life cycle.

    The Halo G6 smaller batteries are this way. I was vaping like a monster but still wondering why I was not ok. It was Tam who recognized my problem as not enough battery to get a decent nic hit. They sell because they look like a cig.

    The iTaste VV/vw I sport looks like an electric tooth brush! I-dont-care! It gives me a decent hit at 800mah. The litle batteries are mini and mini in mili amp hours also. Not really a good fit for anyone for long terem control of tobacco.
