  1. Hey all,

    Looking for a recommendation on a good menthol flavor. I love mentha from VTS, but it's out of stock a lot and I need to order some backup. I tried some stuff from Vapor Pro and was not terribly impressed. Tried regular menthol and a few of the tobacco/menthol combos from Vapor Kings and that wasn't quite the same either. Any suggestions?

    This post had my ears perking up... ;)

  2. Thats bad to hear. I ordered from them about six months back and was satisfied with their quality per pricing. You get what ya pay for... I veered away looking for higher quality over the past several months. I just revisited their site yesterday and placed an order due to lack of funds. Man, I really hope they didnt change their recipes. I ordered Caramel Tobacco, which was pretty satisfying a while back, Cotton Candy, Butterscotch, and a few others...

  3. Menthol mixed with coffee/cappuccino is my daily vape.

    i never tried it, but i hear it mixes well with strawberry too. i would assume anything chocolate would be good as well.

    Yeah, was just thinking this. Menthol and a coffee might be pretty dern tasty! :icecream:

  4. I've been lurking around here and there but haven't posted in a long time. I don't seem to have too much to say and when noobs are asking questions that I can answer, they get answered before I get there. Seems like I can't find a topic that I can add any input to but it's still fun to read some of the stuff here. Anyways, I'll continue to stop in as I continue to enjoy vaping.

    Haha, I hear that Mike! I can totally relate.

    Hey, I have an idea... maybe record yourself jammin' out on your guitar, toss it into the Lounge section... I bet that would start some fun! I know there's a few musicians here that would jump on that thread and have some fun too! :punk:

    Doesn't always have to be about vapin'

    :)

  5. Don't hesitate to confront them! That is your home, you pay the rent, and you have the right to be able to rest. If ya never confront them, they might not even know they're bothering anyone. Ya don't have to be a prick about it, just let them know that you need certain, reasonable hours of peace and quiet. Who knows, ya might even get an apology and some respect to boot. If they act like idiots about it, keep your cool and file complaints to the landlord (and let the landlord know that the police will be called if it keeps up).

    I supervised an apartment complex for many years, you'd be surprised how many evictions I've seen due to uncooperative residents ignoring their landlords warnings about excessive noise. It's kind of stupid, but better them leaving than you!

    Follow the proper channels, it's your home, you're untouchable, (especially if the police know whats going on).

    Good Luck!

  6. Just a quick update on HV's flavors. I have never tried them before, but I'm pretty impressed!

    I received the Chicago Flights pack.

    It contained five-3ml bottles of 50/50 blend:

    Cinnamon Arbalest (like red-hots candy)

    Blueberry Fest (blueberry pancake goodness)

    Cafe Filbert (nice coffee flavor with a hint of tootsie-roll?)

    Carnival (unique cotton-candy-ish)

    Our Why 5 (unique as well, can't really describe, but very good)

    The bottles are labeled with attractive glossy labels, each flavor names font matches its theme. It's apparent that a lot of time and effort went into the labels, and flavor as well. Very professional looking. The flavors all have great vapor production and TH. The five flavors are unique and have a great quality to them. No funky aftertaste, very smooth and satisfying!

    Thanks Tim for introducing me to your products!

    I definitely recommend HV to anyone in search of a quality juice!

    Tim, I hope you introduce your new flavor here on VT! I'm looking forward to it! :)

  7. Ohhh, didn't even think of the Print at Home thing, Thanks for the idea! :)

    I think I recall you saying one of yours tasted like a used bandaid?

    LoL, yeah, the "RY4 Type" concentrate, it's called, from PA. I know taste is subjective, but I taste plastic! It's probably my lack of mixing skills. I'm kinda big and clumsy, and not to sure what I'm doing. I'd rather give it to someone who's more experienced in mixing, maybe they can make it work. 15ml of concentrate is a lot to go to waste, but that's what I get for not trying the smaller bottle first! :wallbash:

    Sorry for the :offtopic: LoL

  8. My last post got me thinking...

    Is it ok to ship ejuice? The last time I was at the post office, to ship out my last failed purchase for trade, the lady asked me if the package contained any of this, that and the other thing, or any liquid. Just as she said that, I noticed a sign behind her saying "Is your package safe?" and had a list of stuff, that I couldn't read. In fear of shipping denial, I lied and answered no.

    When shipping ejuice, do ya just tell them you are sending liquid? I was afraid that they would want to open the box and check it all out, then possibly deny the shipping because it contains nicotine. Can anyone relate? :)

  9. Received the order Saturday, fast delivery, awesome! This really is a lot of concentrate for the money!

    So far, I noticed a big difference in vaping the juice right after mixing and waiting overnight. I highly recommend waiting a day.

    I started with the DK Tobacco Base and it's nothing like 555, but it is a decent vape. I really cant think of anything that might go well with it, but it does seem to need something mixed in. I mixed at around 7% flavor.

    The RY4 was next and mixed at a recommended (to me) 5%. Couldn't taste a thing, even after waiting overnight. I added another 5 drops (to my 5ml mix) and waiting until tomorrow to taste it.

    Waffle, mixed at 2:1 with Maple Syrup, is absolutely mouth watering! By far my favorite of the three. I'm not sure what % the flavor content was, I just added 12 total drops to a 3ml bottle, so whatever that equals. I will be doing more ratio/flavor amount experimenting to see what works best.

    There's a lot here to play with, so it will be ongoing for a while! Yay!

    For the record, butter flavor is much like movie theater butter, very salty, not meant for waffles! <_<

    I guess I should have read up a little more before ordering some of this. The Tobacco Absolute (2. Diluted), I've now read that ya need to dilute the already 50% diluted mix like 2 drops/10ml and then use 2 of those drops per 10ml liquid finished product! That's what I call stretching it! I'm a bit intimidated though, now reading about other weird stuff to mix into tobacco concentrates to make it properly, like some kind of crystals and stuff...? Kind of beyond me... :question:

    Anyway, sorry to babble on. I still have a ton of playing to do, so I'm outtie!

    Oh yeah, I should mention the packaging. All bottles are glass and are very clearly labeled. They sent dropper caps, one for each bottle. Nothing to complain about at all! (so far) :)

  10. I guess this is a benefit for depending on unemployment income. I know, for sure, if I still had my prior job, I would surely be dropping a LOT more money on vaping, much more than I spent on smoking.

    As I sit, I have only exactly what I need to get by. 2 eGo batteries (for biking), Mark Mod w/2 batteries (for home), a 510 pt w/car adapter (for travel/emergencies), mixing my own juice (to save $$$), and rotating 4 atty's. :)

    Believe me, I would love to be able to stock up more back-ups and try the big dollar pv greats, but all-in-all, I can't complain and my fixed income helps me tame my impulse to spend the cash! LoL! This way, I keep about even with what the wife spends on her tobacco+rolling supplies, so she can't complain either! A pound-ish of tobacco and a couple boxes of rolling tubes costs about 25-30 bucks and lasts around 2-3 weeks. I'm currently spending about the same on vaping stuff, so I'm in it for the health benefits over cost, for sure.
