And here I am researching small to mid size cities in the North as possible retirement locations. It is already too hot down here for this kitty.
Janet's sister and niece recently moved from Ft Meyers area of Florida to Aiken, SC and really like that location.
Thanks for the tip I will look into it!
Right now the big 3 items on our list are:
I gotta have regular snow I just don't feel healthy if I don't get a winter.
It has to have decent mass transit both for me and for the hubby (wheelchair) as there is a pretty good chance I will hit the point of no longer being able to drive at a far younger age than most (due to lifelong vision issues).
It can't have an outrageous cost of living.
Edit and a 4th is how bad the vaping laws are in case we survive the FDA.
opps! Aiken may not be for you. Her sister and in-laws didn't want cold or snow. Aiken averages 1 inch of snowfall per winter.
guys I just finished listening to this. Starting about halfway through they get a lawyer on who has a really good idea how to beat the FDA quickly and efficiently. He is 80 years old and never lost in a case using what he proposes. Well worth the listen.
That is why I said the last half.A 2hr video... can you give us a summary of what his idea is?
Basically he has used this method to beat many federal and state agencies over the years (never lost with it). It comes down to the FDA is required to take into account how this will effect even small and medium size towns in terms of jobs and economics and they never do what is required when they issue regulations. He details how to nail them. In short government agencies just check the boxes on the form without doing the studies thus perjuring themselves. It only takes a victory in one town or city to overthrow the entire regulation. Now I am sure I am not getting this 100% right so I do suggest folks listen for themselves.
Really appreciate the offer. You inspired me to get out there on FT and take a look. I ordered a bag of 50 for $7 including the upgraded shipping. I got the ones that look like Pro Tank drip tips. I don't know how they can even make a profit at those prices.
cheers Mick
In New York, it gets so cold that salt doesn't melt ice!
A few years back it hit -30 to -40 for a few days. That was fun!

Akchooley salt duzn't melt ice. It lowers the freezing point of water. Something like mid 20's itz pretty much useless.
Thanks everybody, I still get a bit excited about vaperversaries, I mean, holy cow, I did did it! 
And I have you all and everybody on ECF to thank for it. 
Not sure who was asking about using CCs when ordering as I skimmed what I missed while gone so using this one to pass on the info.
@retired1 has this very helpful thread. Before you click that "order" button There is very helpful information in there and ways to check the security of any website you want to order from. Doubly important for me since I don't use PP. I have never had a problem ordering from FT using a cc. I've never tried to return anything to them either...
Woohoo! Good to see you. Yep, it was the fourth one. Glad you feeling better with the warmer weather, the move sounds daunting. We're dreading that decision.
Happy 2.5 vaperversary!
We have more than the usual number of potholes, the spring in the middle of the highway is flowing again, our street is a disaster area but you haven't seen potholes unless you've been to Portland, OR recently. We almost hit one that was easily 18" deep. Saw a number of others that were up to 12" deep. Never seen it that bad.
I use plastic DTs but did get some silicone ones I've never used. Now might be the time. Never used SS ones because I wouldn't need a pothole to take a tooth out, sticking it in my mouth alone would do it.
@Zen Knitter , I like what you heard, hope it's true. Thank you for passing it on. The one thing that seems to be constant in all the speculation is only the nic containing products will be taxed. Maybe they'll be taken care of in April but since the other stuff has been legalized, maybe they won't be able to. Who saw that coming? And I guess a new round of states are up for vaping taxes. In over four decades of wanting to quit smoking, never did I think I'd be taxed for it. 
That one I don't think I've heard about. Erlkonigen clones, lol. I'll have to look those up.
Seen a lot of complaints the past couple of months about their new return policies. Seriously, you have to post a video of the the problem? Maybe you ordered another something like Aspire? I'm sorry you had problems with them.
Yeah, stick them once and then stick them twice. It's all okay, it's for the children.
You know, I knew that. Once upon a time. Thanks for the brain jiggle.

Hey for you guys that use the K5 I have a problem with the Tobeccos the worst of juice seeping out the bottom. I think I found a way to stop it. It was what another guy told me. The only O rings that I have problems with are the bottom 2 on the head. The schematic says use a 1X10 on the bottom one but a guy told me use a 1X11 so while burning the SS and rewicking I took it apart and did that makes a much better seal A little hard to change the af control but doable and I think my seeping is over. Plus I rarely change it use #1.
I use 11 x1 on all three on the deck on all my tobecos,SXK and SJMY KF V5 clones.No problem at all with leaking or seeping.

Boy it sure makes a diff burning your coil off and rewicking, been lazy as usual been about 3+months. Still loving SS and DNA's temp control and K5's but the Kabuki is great if your in a hurry.
I have found with these Russian flavors I'm able to cut them to .5% and up the nic to 6mg and working out well for me. Dang those flavors are strong, amazing 1/2ml flavors a 100ml bottle. I am sure I have enough to last the rest of my life at that rate. Each 10ml bottle makes 2000ml of juice. A couple I use 2 flavors because I love the Cream flavor with nearly all and use .5% of that also. I figure even tho it contains a small amout of diacetyl I can't be getting much.
I still would like to buy one more DNA. I use the 4 that I have daily and like my 133 and 200 the best but the 75's are nearly the same. The 133 I wanted to get seemed high priced at the time and now has been upgraded to a 166 still same price around $150. Oh and the 200 I have is the Triade and it doesn't even seem big to me anymore. It fits so well in the hand so at home I use my fav flavor Creme Brule and Cream in my authentic K5 which is for some reason just a little better then the Tobecco, especially on the 1 pip setting just a hair tighter and just right. Use the largest MTL insert on the Tobeccos making them about the same for my vaping style which is partially lung and partially MTL don't know if there is a name for that. Thought I'd try to breathe a little life into this thread. Haven't been here for a while oh and while my Triade is my fave ecig it is a little to big for the pocket. I see they are still available but have to check if they are still a 200 or a 250. That 200 board is a heck of a good board.
