You were all looking WICKED and I thought you were all worthy of being in the Wicked photo shoot by a mile. I have to ask though Who Had he cane, I must say they are a HERO for properly pimping out the style.

We do have a forum glitch which occasionally creates empty posts if you added a link We will be upgrading the forum software in the near future, but apologies in the meantime. I use Photobucket to upload photos on here, you can use http://tinypic.com/ which is a slimmed down version, once you have uploaded to Photobucket or Tinypic, copy and paste the link that starts and ends with [IMG]in your post. |

It was a great weekend, especially meeting forum members  and everyone was fantastic, a great pleasure meeting you all  We had a great cross section of people from seasoned vapers to new vapers, all with different palates. To give you an idea of how it was all done, Bilal (he will correct me if I'm wildly wrong!) had preselected a total of 17 flavours, which had been previewed by TW staff several weeks earlier, the standard being they were all 18mg nicotine and each flavour had 3 differing flavour strengths. A new atomizer was used for each flavour. The flavours were tested "blind" without prior knowledge of the name of the flavour. Amongst the range of flavours tested were, fruit (apple blackcurrant strawberry and melon) etc. Tobacco flavours, mild medium and strong, several menthol flavours, coffee vanilla and absinthe. Each flavour had a "score" sheet for recording flavour, strength, palatability and notes from which Bilal can extract statistics. |

It was a pleasure meeting you Astrecks apart from the fact you also had a camera.  Thank you for letting me play around with your personal PV it staid my curiosity I don’t know if some of my palatability notes will make a lot of sense to Bilal I think YEY & BLARGHH will have an appearance.  I did think I had managed a picture of Jason in a cloud of vapour from the Odyssey but I was too slow with the shutter. Thanks for a great time TW. |

Right, for all of you guys curious about the flavours we tested this weekend, here's a list (the days are correct, but the flavours are as they've come out of my bag). Three Strengths of each flavour. Hopefully I haven't missed any out or named them wrongly ... | Saturday 12/5/12 | Sunday 13/5/12 | | Cherry | Buttery Menthol | | Honeydew Melon | Menthol Tobacco | | Apple | Strawberries & Cream | | Absinth | Menthol Ice Tobacco | | Vanilla | Apple | | Blackcurrant | Columbian Coffee | | Mild Tobacco | Red Grape | | Capuccino Coffee | Dark Tobacco | | Strawberry | another Menthol Tobacco | | Tobacco | Tobacco Cheroot | | Black Cherry | Cherry Menthol | | Vanilla Cream |
... and yes, the room did get VERY foggy lol |

Wish I could have stayed for the full weekend but my circumstances made it impossible. My friend Beattie is new to vapeing but got excited over the new cappuccino coffee flavour, Looks as if shiny syndrome is starting early for him, after seeing the Odyssey in action he is desperate for one but come to think of it so am I. |

Awesome write up real I love reading about what actually happened etc and with everyone posting on here you get a real full picture of what went on and even though i wasnt there I WANT to thank TW staff and Jason lol.
I just dont know any other company that does so much for and with its customers which ultimately make you feel really valued. I think it really shines through, I also like that on the back of the TW cards you get with orders it has their Mission statement, it stands up as well which again most companies cant say
