I got my purevapes orders in 2-3 days every time I ordered. I also live 75 miles away. ECX took the longest as they are in the NW and I'm in Indiana. But I also bought 100 flavors each time and processing was 2+ days.

I used to order all the time from PV,but sometime (maybe last summer) their time to ship took a dive. Luckily now we have http://mamajsjuice.com/ and their shipping is super fast

In the spirit of getting this thread back on course I did make Dark N Stormy with NF ginger this weekend and it was amazing.
I haven't purchased any of his recipes yet but I still have 90 of the public ones to go through!
Samoa's, snickerdoodles, orange tic tacs, chocolate peanut butter shake, multiple coffee mixes, all hits!

Yeah, I'm not so lucky. West coast and NW to Tennessee takes a minute.....lol!

PV ships out of Louisville. I know everyone on here can't praise mamajs enough but you are much closer to PV.

TheWestPole · Mar 24, 2015

Got four new HIC recipes today: Ginger Citrus Brulee, Sweet Watermelon Juice, Ginger Ale Sorbet Punch, Blue Razzz. That makes ten.

If you do order from PV, though, email them to ask when it will ship. Proximity doesn't help if an order doesn't ship for a week...

And it still takes 2 weeks or more?? Now I'm really ticked....

I never emailed them and always received my orders timely.
I'll stop commenting as who anyone gets their ingredients from doesn't have anything to do with HICs mixes.

Make SURE you mix the Lemon Meringue Pie! It's in the recipe thread and simply amazing!

Was looking for that the other day. No luck and no search hits.

Nevermind, just found it. And I have the flavors too! Thanks for mentioning it @Teresa P.

Can't wait to make some of these tonight. Ordered 3 recipes to start out. Ordered flavors late Monday morning from eliquidmart.com and just got them today, Wed. USPS doesn't always suck.

Just curious if anyone has seen or received flavors re-packaged. (without a mfg label)
Is that common???
Link to my previous post.

I'm having trouble researching the company because 'diy E-Juice' gets lost in the sea of Google.

As I mentioned in your other thread, this is common practice! EcigExpress does this, as so a bunch of others! (I've bought a lot of flavors from ECX in the past).

I live in Louisville. I used to order from PV, he created my first ADV for me and was my FA supplier, but their turnaround did become an issue, mistakes were being made, And I was picking them up at a local shop. I order my FA from MamaJ's every chance I get since he opened. 2 days, every single time. I'm not saying I'd never order from PV, again. But, as Amanda said, I'd check with him before I did.

Back on track.......... What's everyone's fave of HIC's Mixes, so far?

Teresa P · Mar 26, 2015

That's a tough call! I will say that after I sampled the 10ml of lemon meringue pie I made the other day I immediately made another 60ml. Heavenly! I liked it even better than the lemon soda one. The quikberry pink is another favorite, the neopolitan ice cream.....I guess for me it would be a toss up between the pie and Swiss Bliss - keep a 15ml bottle of the base mixed up for that. I LOVE my chocolate but that's about the most versatile recipe of HIC's I've tried. You can add coconut, fruits, even some coffees and get a different "candy bar" every time.

I'll also say that I'm a lot closer to PV than I am Mama J's, but I get my Mama J's loooong before I'd get a PV order.

Italian Lemon Cream Soda

I like this one, too, and the Blueberry Coconut Smoothie. the Gingerbread is really good, too. For the tobacco ones, so far, I think I'd say Palermo, but the Turin is also good, lol.

Suffice it to say, it's a real chore to select ONE.

pdxjlb · Mar 26, 2015

Quikberry Pink and Chinese Almond Cookies

Palermo is still steeping

What does anyone think about Arctic Winter, if you've tried it? Is it a good "menthol" to have on stock if I don't have anything other than Koolada?

I am not a menthol "connoisseur" but find myself with a collection of them anyway. When I want menthol flavor, like in cough drops, I honestly don't taste much difference between FA and other brands (plain menthol flavors). I think they're all basically menthol crystals dissolved in PG, and they all taste medicinal to me. I used to really like Koolada, but I overdid it and can't vape it any more without hacking up a lung. When I want cool+sweet these days, I often think of Anise or Spearmint instead of menthol. Where I use those 2 flavorings, menthol fans could sure use Arctic Winter or other menthol instead.

cindycated · Mar 27, 2015

HIC, I had to think about a comment you made for a minute ("Cap Vanilla Custard reminds me of bodily fluids"). I've been vaping OoO Flan and, before I waled it with sweetener, it tasted like morning-breath spit.

So yeah, I think I get it now.

HeadInClouds · Mar 27, 2015

Ready for summery vapes?
New today on HIC's Mixes : Long Island Iced Tea

"Just like the cocktail, these alcohol and citrus flavors combine to taste a lot like sweet iced tea. This is a crisp, refreshing, summery vape! Suggestions are included for fruity variations, along with tips for further customization."

FA's alcohol and citrus flavors are so accurate, you get the same flavor illusion as with the real cocktail. There's no tea here, but you'll taste it anyway - cool flavor trick! Try the basic recipe first, but don't forget to try some fruity variations, too. Some of you fruit fans are bound to come up with variations of your own - it's an easily customized recipe.

STFU! Which is to say AWESOME!

Palermo has finally hit the wick, and oh lord on my .8ohm 24 single coil setup, it is wonderful first thing in the morning (I got up late

) next to my coffee... THANK YOU HIC, and the other's that encouraged me to try out a "tobacco" flavored vape, which I've swerved away from for a while.

It's a really good one, isn't it?? I really enjoy that. Like you, I don't usually go for tobaccos, but when I need a tobacco taste... this one is yummy!

Oh, that does sound good. On the list.

After a taste test, I made 30ml of your Blueberry Coconut Smoothie, which means I love it and want it on hand all the time. Same goes for Italian Lemon Cream Soda and Orange Soda Pop.

Tried a test of Dulce de Leche Churros. Fresh mixed it was too buttery for me and not spicy enough. Gonna take your advise and let it steep before I give it another try. Then add more spice I suppose?

I like it as is, but I also like it with extra cinnamon....depends on my mood, but I love buttery!

TheWestPole · Mar 27, 2015

My first small order from Mama J's arrived today. Ordered 3/24, received 3/27 in Los Angeles. Love the magenta bubble bag, good wrapping, and the smaller sizes for flavors I'm trying for the first time. Very pleased.

Ginger recipes commence.........................(getting impatient).............................NOW!

Gonna return to that one. Now I know the flavor I need to dial back, because I ran into the same thing in another recipe. I'm just finding out now that I'm not much of a bakery vaper. Looking forward to the Lemon Meringue Pie though.

Daintanee · Mar 27, 2015

Daintanee · Mar 27, 2015

Oh forgot to let ya all know that mamajs is getting in tfa acetyl pyrazine and e.m. next week. I'm on his butt about fa licorice too as I need some for HICs Gingerbread! Looks like Ive plenty to make till he gets it. lol!

He did a great job on that one. It truly tastes like lemon meringue pie....I was amazed. I like it fresh best...it mellows some with time. Dude, my favorite...try that lemon cardamom custard...the very last post of what I tried...imo its even better than lemon meringue pie....I keep going back to that and the Caribbean cooler...not really bakery but good.

NGAHaze · Mar 27, 2015

lol D did you have a hard time trimming the list?

I know I have and in fact, I'm not sure I could keep it under 10 or so as all of them are delicious. I do mix up the Baileys Coke quite a bit though because it's quick, easy and oh so good!

Um, ya noticed? Just like a woman, we never shut up. Lol.

HeadInClouds · Mar 27, 2015

just catching up -

Wow, @Daintanee - that's a lotta favorites!

Mamaj's envelopes sure make it easy to spot your vape mail - that's a useful touch.

I'm currently vaping an apple-strudel tobacco. This one I enjoy whether or not I'm in "a tobacco mood." I subject tobacco blends to torturous steeping (because I know some people will do that) to see how they hold up. Torture is proceeding well, so hopefully this will be available soon.

To pick just 1 personal favorite at my store: Chinese Almond Cookies, because it's so simple and such a great flavor match. But a bunch tie for second place, lol. I think Sweet Watermelon Juice is my best recent flavor breakthrough - I was so unhappy with all melon vapes before that.

Thanks to all of you for your support, ideas, encouragement, and comments - here and in PMs!

Daintanee · Mar 27, 2015

Not really a lot, tje bottom list are wamts to tries, but hasnt yet. My watermelon juice did not turn out well at all. I will redue another day...idk if one of my flavors is bad or what. Ok Hic. Im officially a groopie! A Hic groopie!

misswish · Mar 27, 2015

I have way too many favorites, couldn't begin to choose just one! And no, thank you for all the great recipes that help keep so many of us vaping!

Daintanee · Mar 27, 2015

Its only like 15. I counted.

BumbaCLot · Mar 28, 2015

I broke down and bought a few today. Know I still have tons of freebies to make but I'm really craving tobacco for some reason. I'm sure I always will. May be the beer I had last night.
I have a bottle of 22mg Lars Dark Sunset if I ever need something to make me remember how awful smoking is. That stuff will grow a Sasquatch on your chest!

I will, I will!

And I have all the flavors for both except apricot. Suppose the cooler would be good with white peach?

Sweet Watermelon Juice is on deck. Just mixed some Ginger Citrus Brulee and vaping it as I type this. It's brighter and sharper than I expected it to be, with the ginger and citrus dancing right up front. My first ginger vape and I'm loving it.

In Caribbean Cooler? I think plain Peach would be better than White Peach. I'd even suggest another brand's peach flavor, anything riper-tasting than White Peach. Oh, just get some Apricot - it's a good one!

I am pretty sure I screwed up bad and put all Burley where Butterscotch goes.
Great thing about DIY is a bottle is only pennies per ml. I may just be low on burley now since I only have PV sized tobaccos.
I really need to get into tobaccos some day. I made 2 bottles of light american cigarette for two girls at work but have been on surgery leave since and haven't gotten any feedback.
One has been vaping Koi Virginia for 3 years.
Since I'm in Indiana and we are facing the worst legislation pending in the US, I'm glad I'm learning as much as I can now but fear I'll be breaking the law even DIYing if Pence signs this law.

Luv2vape · Mar 31, 2015

Should have known there was a thread for HIC's Gumroad recipes. I've been a huge fan and have purchased most of them. As usual, they never disappoint and have all been delicious. Just tried the Peppermint Butter Crunch/Roca...pure ridiculousness. Haven't vaped the butter crunch yet because I'm letting it steep for a few days, but the Roca is sooo good. Nice buttery nutty undertone on the exhale, which is not overwhelmed by the peppermint.

The cinnamon dulce latte is one of my favs too. I'm going to mix the grapeade and italian cream soda today to change up from my normal coffee fixation. Think I'll put some banana pudding in a tank and see how she vapes. It's been steeping for two days so it should be tasty.

Over the past few months I've purchased over $300 in FA flavorings...call me me crazy, but I like the 30 ml bottles. Thus far I've blown through 30 mls of Vienna cream, espresso and cookie so I reordered in 4 oz. quantities. Finally have most of the flavors for HICs recipes, but now I'm running out of bottles...always chasing after something.

I only wish you were a personal trainer as well as a mix master. That way I'd have the ripped abs I've always lusted after. No pain no gain...off to the gym I go. Can't blame a girl for wishing....

New today at HIC's Mixes : Pink Grapefruit Sweets

"This recipe erases all bitterness from FlavourArt Grapefruit and sweetens it into candy. Several sweet variations are listed to make a variety of different grapefruit candies."

The picture shows some of the candies I used for taste-tests while making this recipe and the variations. mm! It's challenging to find grapefruit candy in stores, but it's easy to mix and vape!
