Both before, and to a lesser extent, during, my recent non-consensual downtime (caused by what I consider to be an excessively zealous aggregate of health nuisances - not one of them remotely related to cigarette smoking, for the irony fanbase's grim subsection), I allocated far too much time and energy trying to come up with an effective Syringe Method workaround strategy for those of us who have shaky and/or imprecise hands, low to no vision, and lots of loopiness.
More irony: Though the most highly-touted advantage of the Syringe Method is juice conservation through reduced waste, those of us whose limitations include any or all of the above-mentioned annoyances will find that our attempts to achieve juice-cartomizer union via hypodermic syringe will result in far more juice ending up in a variety of locations that are NOT a cartomizer than the little, if any, that happens to land IN one.
Our efforts, therefore, will be much better spent honing our Condom Method skills, or in the case of those with no vision, obtaining and learning to use the CartomizerFillinator.
Thus I am obliged to begrudgingly and reluctantly concede that for us, the most efficient - indeed, the only practical approach to successful employment of the Syringe Method is to seize a loved one with normal vision, nimble fingers, and a firm grip on what year it is and upon which continent we are currently located, press our syringes, juice and cartomizers into their able and steady hands, and send them off to watch the instructional videos while we nod gracefully on off into our customary and vaguely pleasant state located at some appropriately vague point or points between daze and doze.
Clilff Notes Summary: If our hands are very shaky, if we're both blind AND loopy, or blind or loopy AND have shaky hands, then we should invite everyone we know to join us in enjoying the cardio-vascular benefit of howling with hearty laughter at the very idea of us employing a shot needle to inject liquid into a little bitty Barbie tumbler full of Wal-Mart pillow stuffing.
I've missed you all very much, and as I'm able, will endeavor to rectify the unfortunate bloggus interruptus situation, as I know you are as eager as I am to move on up into the Advanced Class - or at least as close to Advanced as I'm likely to get.
