You can never have to many if the EU get there way, best to keep stocking up I'd say!

A valid point.. But what i'm thinking is ordering higher quantities of my faves rather than keep paying £2 for a discounted sample to wonder why i bothered.

So last week was payday and i went a little mad on ordering juices, personally i hold the vendors responsible with their crazy 35-40% off offers.

The 20 or so!!!!juices are all now steeping. Its got me thinking tho, just when is it time to call it a day and decide that enough is enough.
I know everybody's tastes are different..BUT i have ordered many many juices that are raved about, only to find that at the best they're vapable.
The spending could go on and on but why?

Sweet juices... GVC and Griswalds Banoffee Cream. Yes i have tried WOEL Arnold Apple Pie & Custard and its nice... BUT i still keep reaching for the other 2.
Fruit juices... Heard lots of talk about Vapourtine Kiwi mix. Yes its really nice. I am grateful for the lead because i don't believe in paying postage for just one juice so i ordered their Blueberry and others... OMG i just cannot put the blueberry down for more than 2 minutes. I also found Vapology Raspberry..also really nice.
Menthol... Griswalds Arctic Cherry...I just think menthol is Menthol.

So i have an OK..ish liquorice and the an OK..ish tobacco flavour I also have Griswalds Blackjack and Old Holby on order to compare. I'm just thinking i could go on forever, ordering loads of juices in the vain hope that they (for me at least) are better than GVC, Banoffee Cream and my beloved Blueberry. Do i really need to keep looking.. Whats everyone elses take on this?

Oh and i really want to make a disclaimer here... WOEL.. I ordered about 6 liquids from them.. Though none of them are in my top four juices, every single one is absolutely lovely and will all get vaped eventually.I honestly think that with the GVC and Griswalds banoffee being such strong sweet flavours they slightly overpower everything else.

GVC...GVC??!! You had me hopping around there for a good while! Then the rusty cogs suddenly clicked (see, I've been doing my fevered forum reading, I have) and, I -think- you are referring to the apparent nectar of the gods that is Grant's Vanilla Custard? I read a thread on here and the cult following almost made me kinda nervous. Really sounded like incredibly addictive stuff. I wonder what in the bejesus he puts in it?! I see his site is frozen at the moment - overwhelmed with orders I guess, so I'll to wait to get my sample.

Steeping sounds frustrating! Sorry for daft newb questions, but do you really need to do it with every juice, they all benefit from kind of... maturing? You couldn't accelerate the process by, say, leaving them in direct warm sunlight, or very gently heating the bottles in water? And if they mature can they get a bit past it once they've been opened? I guess if there's a steeping sweet spot you could overdo it?

Not all juices require lots of steeping. I am only guessing here but but i would think it's particularly advantageous with sweeter juices and less so with menthol. I may be wrong on this tho. Again i'm not 100% sure but i think sunlight for steeping is a no-no. Warmth and darkness is ideal and preferably with the lids off. Not easy to achieve without an airing cupboard and even less so with young children in the house. Occasionally shaking the liquid also helps.

And yes indeed the world famous GVC.

It is rather nice (understatement of the year) but will never replace the true amber nectar of Banoffee Cream. You could indeed wait for the GVC site to come back up OR... You could PM me your address and i can send u a sample (well steeped.)

[/quote]I am sure i have seen a thread somewhere about speeding up steeping times by putting it in the washing machine on a spin cycle. Maybe in the tips and tricks section.[/quote]

Yeah i saw that "risky" strategy.

I may however end up getting an Ultrasonic.

The deed is done!! Big fat order placed earlier today and thank gawd for that. No more circular worry whizzing round in my gerbil wheel brain.

I've followed all your kind advice and put the driving concerns on ice until I try out the Riva. If necessary I can always try the recommended passthrough/smaller battery.

Here's what finally ended up in the basket (it kept being wiped before I could checkout due to repeated dithering). Got there in the end, though and hopefully haven't forgotten anything!

Riva 1100 Kit The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit Stainless Steel VE151 Stainless Steel

5ml Samplers (18mg) HS Delight VE368

Yes, went thoroughly mental with the juices. They all sounded too good.

You've all been magnificent, thank you! Really excited to get my hands on the parcel when I get back. Just got an email to say that it's already been dispatched. Talk about great service. It's a bit awkward after we fly home, though... we're booked into a Premier Inn for a few nights before a pretty long drive, just to break the journey up. Any ex smokers might remember just how long and dreary nights in hotels can be, shivering in carparks at 2am with your cigs. So I'm thinking a 100 mile round trip to grab my parcel and get back to the hotel might be worth it.

Is it definitely okay to vape yourself senseless in a bedroom at Premier Inn? I won't set off any sensors or anything and get slung out?

You have some great sample choices there. And no you definitely wont set off any alarms.
PS... The 100 mile round trip. Yeah if i had some Griswalds Banoffee Cream waiting i would absolutely make that trip.

One other thing that may not have been mentioned in your thread. Everyone is totally different when they first vape. Some get their kit and never touch another ciggie again. For others it takes a while longer and they vape and smoke. Don't beat yourself up if u still need to smoke a while.

Just think of how many ciggies you haven't had rather than how many you have.
Personally whilst smoking i always had the " kettle on and smoke whilst it boiled " mentality first thing in the morning. I havent had a ciggie since my kit arrived just over a month ago.

I did however still need that tobacco taste first thing. So at the start of the day i only ever vaped tobacco flavours. Now i'm free of that dependency and i'm just as likely to vape menthol or even GVC first thing.

What was that Isla? Did you just say "What the hell is GVC?"

Ssshhhh everyone. Isla is a newbie! Dont tell her.

Grizwalds are amazing, you cant go wrong hehe.

Too right. Though i'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Have had two samples of banoffee cream over the last month or so. Its deffo my fave, so i ordered a big bottle. Alas it requires serious steeping (unlike the samples) and my sample bottle is now empty. :-[
Seriously im checking it constantly with a colour chart and praying for it to go darker!

help with upgrade (suggestions wanted) Feb 20, 2013 18:13:41 GMT

I reckon you have made a good choice spikey! I started with the riva,then upgraded to the ego-twist(basically the same as the spinner). I have a vamo on order on the slow boat...BUT... even when the vamo comes i CAN'T see my twist being retired to the back of the drawer in the way my rivas now are.
The spinner and twist are great devices. A quick turn of the end cap and an increase in vapour and flavour. Whats not to like about that.

You can also by the tube which makes sense, as they're plastic. However i haven't seen the top part anywhere so it does seem strange that you can buy the bottom as a standalone.
