Thanks Bunches. I am hoping that he will finally be able to totally give up the smokes but I'm not holding my breath. All I can do is give him the option. The rest is up to him and I just don't think he is ready. Maybe he never will be but I never push. I am thrilled that he has cut his smoking from close to 3 packs a day down to about 10 or 15 a day. For him, that is a giant step.

I still enjoyed cigarettes when I was down to 10-15 a day but when I got down to 1 or 2...... they were nasty tasting. So I hope the new lip licker will do the trick. "Stealth nudging" helps too. (what woman never passed that class with a A+) bahahahaha I'm just saying......

I am a happy camper today. I FINALLY found a flavor that hubby actually likes. I have been on this search for well over a year so I am tickled pink.

I got some of his favorite pipe tobacco. Put about 1/3 cup of it in a 1/2 pint jelly jar. Added enough PG to cover it. Zapped in the microwave for 20 seconds with the lid off. Put the lid on and set it in a bowl of hot water. Left it there until the water cooled. Steeped it for 3 days. Each day setting it in a bowl of really hot water. Strained it. Mixed it up at 20% flavor in 60pg/30vg @ 16mg.

He loves it.

Can feel your excitement through the monitor........persistence overcomes resistance.........good for you!!!

Thank you Gracie. Hopefully he will continue to enjoy it. I can't handle tobacco flavors so it all tastes kinda bad to me but it works for him.

Matti .. as a user of tobacco type liquids, I have absolutely got to try that .. do you think any nic was left after straining the tobacco .. ?? I'm down to about 6mg and would like to stay there for now ..

A small tribute today .. ladies in blue jeans, one my personal favorite "looks" ..

 

[Uncle Willie]

Of course, I do really prefer the old style womens jeans .. these modern jeans just don't seem very figure flattering to me unless you're already pretty thin ..

It was so easy to do. I just wish I had thought about doing it sooner. Would have saved us a bit of cash. I bought sample bottles but over time that adds up.

It would surprise me if there is much in the way of nic in the finished product since I started out with such a small amount of tobacco. I ended up with about 40 mls of flavoring.

That's kinda what I thought .. did you try it too .. ??

Yes I did. It tastes too much like a smoke smells to me.

Good Morning Everyone and welcome to the newcomers...

On the scooter - do not go to cheap even though it may seem necessary - make sure you read reviews before you buy. While I do not use one yet - I do have a few friends with them and the ones that bought the cheapest they could find are not happy with their performance - to much down time...

Thanks to all for the advice and nice welcome. I enjoy all your posts, an intelligent, funny crowd!
Just got back from a scooter store-a hyperactive 9 yr old salesman. God, it's hard to be talked down to by somone young, let alone a young .....!
Grumble grumble (yeah, I know-crabby old bat!)

Yeah, I had that guys brother at Best Buy a while back .. I came very close to saying "Go back to your sippie cup and get me an adult out here" .. but instead, I launched into a string of technospeak and he politely crawled away to get his diaper changed ..

Hubby an I encountered their sister in the electronics dept at our local wally world. Kinda gets under your skin when a 20 something tries to talk down to her customers. She seemed to think we were still living in the dark ages and were dumber than dirt because we prefer simple cell phones. I had to just walk away before she could really get on my last nerve.

Mattiem, I am glad you found a solution and made your hubby happy! I came up with a recipe that I really like, very mello, a nice evening vape. I call it:

Blue Moon
TFA Blueberry Extra 3%
TFA Coconut 1%
TFA Sweet Cream 1%
EM 1%
Sweetener 2%
You can taste the both the blueberry and the coconut and the sweet cream seems to enhance both. The EM is mixed to a 10% solution following directions from DIY Shop. I use 50/50 pg/vg for my juices, higher vg will most likely need less sweetener. I sent a bottle to my sister and she loved it, so I guess I can call it a success

That sounds very good. I'll have to get me some coconut flavor on my next order. I've been want to find something to go with the Sweet Cream I got last time. Thanks for posting. View attachment 255363

I just want a cell phone that works as a phone.
We haven't upgraded cell phones since about 2002.
Everywhere, everybody is constantly staring at little handheld screens. Welcome to the future as described by Aldous Huxley...
