Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "Not enough, and yet too much"

This book is a little all over the place. The authors cover a little about a lot, often excluding detail where I want it. I agree with other reviewers that the color photos are nice, but there need to be many more of them, particularly when illustrating techniques. And information about a given topic may be all over the place--beading wire, for example. At one point, it's mentioned, but this book doesn't discuss size in a clear way, informing the reader what sizes are good for working with what types of beads. And, although I now know the difference between beading wire for stringing and wire for making components or wrapping, this book is unclear in explaining the differences. And sizes and types are important. They may tell you what you need for a specific project, but they don't give enough information for you to figure out how to make choices on your own if you want to design or do other projects. Yet, the authors try to be comprehensive, covering everything from basic design and tools to working with children and starting your own business. There are tidbits of extra information here and there, which are interesting, but I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a detailed and comprehensive resource. There's a whole lot that's said that doesn't need to be said and not enough of what does.

Summary: "Poorly edited; no quality control"

This is an excellent introduction for beginning beaders and jewelry makers. It covers several different types of beading, including working with seed beads, wire wrapping, and creating clasps. It apparently, however, was either not edited at all or edited very poorly. Quality control for this book was abysmal. Too many of the instructions are confusing or just flat out wrong. For one earring project, the instructions, the line drawings, and the color photograph are all different. Which one is correct? For another project, the line drawings only make sense if you go from c to b to a, instead of the other way around. The author refers the reader to the yellow cheat sheet in the front of the book. There is no yellow cheat sheet in the front of the book. Instead, there's a reference to a Web site where you can get the cheat sheets, which is fine, but then why refer me to a nonexistent yellow cheat sheet instead of the Web site? In another set of instructions, Step 6 reads: "Step 6: Repeat Step 6...."

And I'm only half way through the book!

I'm sure someone who knew how to bead could figure the instructions out and make the projects, but someone who already knew how to bead would not be buying a basic book on how to bead. The information in this book appears helpful. If it had been edited at all, it might have been a great book, but since it was so sloppily produced, I don't know how much of the information in it I should trust. Already it seems obvious that if I'm going to learn how to bead, then I need a different book.

Note: I have 20 years of copyediting experience, and a couple years back I applied to Wiley. They never responded. Bad move on their part, because obviously they really need a good editor.
