Vape Mail

Got vapemail awhile ago~! 
If one does not know what these things are,  you can easily do research on them to find out they are an electronic cigarette and an alternative to real smoking. No tobacco, none of the harmful burning and easily much better for you than smoking. Do the research before you judge them outright. 

I got these from vaporalley. I ordered these on January 22nd and they shipped the same day. I ended up getting it the following Saturday so four days was nice. I ordered an Ego Queen battery in 900mah and since I've received it, I haven't even needed to charge it yet as of today and I've been using it quite a bit. I was previously using a 510 from the "free" Victory kit and this has been very impressive so far. I got the design in Q12 which has hearts and a cute little piggy in a big heart. I really like it and think it's cute and perfect sized. I didn't aim for 1100mah since I thought it would be too long for me. It has a five click on and off option and you press it when you take a drag. I really like the manual battery over an automatic. I notice a lot more power and warmth than before as well. I didn't opt for a variable voltage just because this design really appealed to me but my boyfriend has one coming in the mail that I will review as well.

I also got a Kanger T2 clearomizer in purple. Since I've only been using cartomizers, a clearomizer was interesting and new to try. It has been exceptional so far with no leaking and great vapor production. I've been using my e-liquid in cartomizers and I have to say I like it a bit more in the clearomizer. I like that I can see the e-liquid level. It was extremely easy to fill and it lasts all day for me, whereas with the cartomizer I have to be careful in filling it and I always tended to overfill a little where it leaked out the bottom. I haven't experienced a dry or a burnt hit with it so far and I let it get down pretty low. It is also very easy to clean, I just rinse it under hot water and let it dry overnight. I've read that using vodka is also a good method but I don't have any on hand. I wash it every time I go through a tank. I don't really see the coils so I don't know about dry burning them. I am regretting not buying more of them so I can switch my flavours more easily. The only other big downside is that my tip is forming some strange residue from either a reaction from my eliquid or something. I'm holding off on using it for now as I have ordered new aluminum tips from discountvapers. I really do like these clearomizers and I'd recommend them. I haven't tried a Vivi Nova or Kanger T3's but so far I am happy with this. The fact that they have replaceable heads is a huge plus as they are only a dollar each and I can see them lasting awhile at this rate, making it very economically friendly.

I ordered these juices from Mt Baker Vapor.
I highly recommend them. They have the best price for e-liquid by far and their shipping is very fast! I ordered on the 19th and got it on the 22nd from Washington. For 15ml's, their prices are 5$ and gets cheaper the more you get. As I've never tried some flavours before, I decided to not opt for the big ones as I wasn't sure what I'd end up liking. They also give you a free 15ml for orders over 15$! Brilliant.

I got Blue Ice, Whiteout, Cinnamon Roll, Double Apple and Candy Cane Coffee.
These flavours have all been steeping for a week and a half so far and I've also given them a hot water bath to speed up the process. I also ordered the house blend which is 80% PG and 20%VG.

Blue Ice - An icy blueberry flavour. I'm not a huge fan of this. I think from this batch, I have learned I am not a big fan of the fruity flavours. They tend to almost taste too chemical to me and I'm just not a big fan of it right now. My SO likes this one quite a bit though. I think I'll stick to straight menthol in the future.

White Out - Very nice. It is a little hard to describe the flavour. It is a sweet mint that reminds me a little of a chocolate flavour. People have mentioned that this tastes like a white tic tac and I think that description is pretty spot on. This was good without any steeping. It's refreshing and I like this before bedtime. It's my second favourite from this batch.

Cinnamon Roll - Hands down, my favourite. This is a definite all day vape. Without any steeping, this tasted absolutely amazing. The cinnamon flavour is very apparent on the inhale with a slight doughy taste and the exhale tastes sweet like frosting. I vaped a tank and I just want more. It isn't overtly sweet, it is perfect. It tastes just like a cinnamon roll. I will definitely need more of this in the future. 

Double Apple - I don't love this. The interesting thing is the steeping time is making it turn a little green which is cool. The Blue Ice is also turning a little blue, I think. I'll repeat my sentiments that I just don't think I'm meshing well with fruity flavours. This had great reviews but it isn't registering well with me. 

Candy Cane Coffee - Bleh. I'm not liking this at all. I was expecting this to be a great morning vape but I'm not loving it. It is far too bitter and has too much of a weird earthy vibe to it. It's just too strong for me. It has a strange dark taste to it. I'm hoping with some steeping it will become better.

Anyways~ I hope to try more flavours in the future! The next ones I'm looking to get is Extreme Ice, Butterscotch, Sweet Cream and Banana Nut Bread. I think I will like the more bakery / sweet type flavours now that I've sampled these. I hope to get into DIY in the future as well.
