Well it's been nearly a week of vaping. Yes the steeping is helping increase the flavor of the 100% VG blends I ordered. Taking some advice (Loren_Q I think) I ordered new flavors with extra flavoring. And I am really not into the flavors of desserts. Fruit yes. I need a bit of a kick, some tangy and strength.

I am finding that I am staying off of cigarettes with minimal stress on the nicotine free liquids. I just happen to vape a lot longer. I like the visable smoke of the VG liquids. Apparently the act of breathing and seeing it is important to me. Next thing you know I'll be taking up Yoga.

8 days vaping, with no interest in cigs! YAY!

I have developed some of the dry mouth symptoms, but I'm not sure what the ratio is on the juice I bought locally. I've been meaning to call them about that.

I ordered from Heather's nearly a week ago, and the status is still "processing", I know they warned me about the long processing time, but I am starting to feel a little impatient.

I replaced the cartomizer in my e-cig last night, the first one wouldn't thread, the second one did thread, but now I'm having some trouble with it, it works for a few puffs, and then I have to take it apart again. I'm hoping I don't have to go back to the shop to get this resolved. I'm thankful I have a second tank with a working cartomizer.

Steeping has helped pretty much every juice I've gotten. Like you I'm not one for the desserts, but I'm not partial to fruit either.

I'm willing to try new things but keep going back to the tobaccos (reg and menthol), coffees and Vanilla. I am looking for a good toffee one.

Oh, I do have a bacon sampler. I'm alternately excited and scared to try it.

I hope the added flavor helps!

Got it resolved over the phone! I just need to take the tank off of the battery to replace the cartomizer, apparently, the battery pushes something up inside the tank that makes it difficult to thread the cartomizer. YAY!

I forgot to mention that my local store's juice is 100% PG. That makes me even more impatient to get the new stuff from Heather's (it will be a week on Monday, that it has been "processing")!

So I've been cigarette and nicotine free for 8 days. The Vaping is helping a ton. A huge livesaver! Yippee... I am feeling huge as a house (which could be PMS though). I am not finding the
Cinnamon bun or Chocolate cheesecake juices keep me away from food.

My first round of juices/flavors have been here over a week and so they are becoming much more flavorful. Yippee!

I can't wait for the next round of flavors to come. Strawberry Daiquiri, Kona coffee cream and something else.

I'll be honest... the thrill of getting to order new flavors/juices is helping me quit too. Why would I buy nasty cigarettes when I can get a custom flavor. Oh I am sooo easy.

Strappie 02-17-2013 01:20 PM
Ok I'm a little confused about the Liquids......

My bottle has an expiration date on it.. now if you steep it for a month how the hell do you get time to smoke all of them if you have a few flavors? I guess buying smaller quantities would help?

Do the ECblends have expiration dates??

I took my tanks apart to clean today. So showing you the parts... This tank in my opinion is the easiest to clean and replace the wicks. There are a few names for these tanks because there are different versions of these... Mine is called CE7 Clearomizers. 1.8 oHm rebuild-able clearomizers.

I'm curious to see what yours all look like... Please remember to keep the size of you pictures small.

Hollylane 02-17-2013 05:24 PM
I think that mine is nearly identical to yours Strappie. The only real differences that I can see, are that mine has the silver disc on the bottom that allows me to adjust the voltage, and a larger(longer?) battery.

The juice I got from ECBlends doesn't have an expiration date, just the month/year that it was blended. The packing slip indicated which ones should steep (and in one case for how long).

I'm new enough that I don't have actual experience, but when I ordered my first juice I asked how long it would keep. I was told it could keep up to 6 or 7 months if kept in a cool, dark place, but it probably wouldn't last that long.

I read about folks use their juice months and months from the time they got it and it's still good (or better).

Expiration may be more geared toward what flavor or maybe an evaporation concern.

I had one like yours too.. It's the one Scorp used when we were in Little Rock. I ended up not liking that one simply because it didn't fit in my pocket as well. I gave it to my sister.

It was really the Scorpie cooties, wasn't it? :winky:

I started vaping on one of Scorp's about a week ago. She's got the eGo-T, with eGo transparent clearomizers. She had a tank with ECBlend's "top of the muffin blueberry" that she didn't like, but I did, and have been using that ever since. I wasn't sure if it was something I would like -- I've never been a smoker (except for that one "rebellious" summer...rar :winky:) but thought it might help with food cravings. I do like it, and will probably get a starter kit of my own (eGo-C in pink, anyone?)

I'm kind of getting sick of the flavor now, but we just ordered 9 more (haha!) from ECBlend to try out.

I was really confused by all the terminology -- texting Medusa a few days ago, asking "wtf is throat hit?" LOL -- and just found this review of several different tank systems that might be helpful to someone. I don't think I've seen this link here, but I may have missed it. Anyway:



Enjoy!

i want to inhale blueberry muffins!!! Where do i sign up?!

i am so glad people are getting off of the cigarettes!

i am trying to understand the terminology myself. Thank you all for sharing.

C'mon over, I'm vaping blueberry muffins right now! This particular flavor is Top of the Muffin Blueberry from http://www.altcig.com. I think Medusa has mentioned that the blueberry muffin from http://www.heathersheavenlyvapes.com is good, too.

Our 9 new flavors from ECBlends are due to be delivered today...I can't wait!

The word of the day is STEEP. I was so excited to try one of the new flavors...I picked caramel capuccino (yum!) and it tastes like burnt coffeepot. :blink: Yeaaaaah, let's give that a few days before trying it again.

Justin 02-19-2013 08:42 PM
I am back to the vape very very soon uuuugh !!!!

I've gotten coffee juice from a couple of different places. One was pretty fine after a week (Apollo), the other one is getting there (going on 3 weeks).

I think the stronger, complex flavors need extra steeping time. When I got my ECBlends order, both the coffee and RY4 had "allow 1 to 2 weeks steeping" printed on the packing sheet.

The RY4 is wonderful now, but the coffee is still bitter - that's the one going on 3 weeks.

How do you clean the refillable tanks, when you want to use a different flavor? Here's a picture (similar to mine)of the part that I am talking about.

They don't recommend alcohol. So, how do you clean it well enough to not get an unintended flavor combination?
If yours screw open at the bottom and top, they're vivi novas, you just unscrew swish around in water, *very* gently squeeze the silica threads without pulling on them, dry the rest and re-assemble - voila! takes about a minute tops. I just cleaned 7 or so of them last night.

If they have o-rings instead of unscrewing, just pull and give a little twist - kind of like how you'd wiggle a cork - after that, same cleaning rules apply :)

Thank you Daisy. Mine only unscrew at the top. Congrats on your year with cigs!!
