    Janet - you had me chuckling with the first part - with you spending a few days cleaning up the house in preparation for the cleaners only because that is what I would be doing too. I then I read the next part and that is so sad - but I guess a good thing that you had a least done the tidying...

    Sad to hear that the Evods are not doing that well. I have to admit I have not used mine too much - put a juice in that I am not liking so I have pretty much been rotating between my mini Vivi Nova with Peppermint and my T3 with my Green Apple/Cranberry mix. Decide to dump the Evod and give...

    Well after reading rocky's post - I know why I took the Phoenix "like" (I think they called it a Bully) that I ordered and it is now is a box - waiting for someday when maybe I might try doing something with it. I really only ordered it because the juice vendor I order from up here indicated...

    Well - I have to say as an "older" person looking for information on what works best and with "what" this thread helped me more than I can say. Just trying to find out what everything is and what all the abbreviations and "other" names for things. Then trying to understand oHms, watts and...

    Well - back from the physio and he was happy it happened yesterday and not tomorrow :glare: this way I can't blame him :) Anyway, the good news is he did ease off the worst of it and hopefully in a few days it will settle down. After reading what Faylool does for therapeutic relief - I just...

    Definitely feeling "older" today. I thought maybe the new physio therapist I have been seeing does know what he is talking about when he said I was doing better. Maybe I am - but today it doesn't feel like it - up all night cause I couldn't lay down. Finally got 2 hours between 6am-8am and...

    Well I missed all the talk about Geritol - but maybe I need some - cause I can't remember what my first job paid. I do remember babysitting for .25 cents an hour though. I think it took a whole night of babysittting to afford a pack of smokes at $1.00 :) It really doesn't change, I too...

    Something easy and no fuss for my Mom.

    You are so right. The twists are definitely bigger than the cig-a-like - which is why I started with the 650 mah twist - trying to stay smaller :D I did start with a cig-a-like and quickly got frustrated with not only having to charge it all the time - but with filling the cartos. I also have...

    Something easy and no fuss for my Mom.

    Well - I am a mom and a grandma that smoked for 46 years :ohmy: I have to agree that not wanting to have anything too complicated is what makes me the happiest. I really like my eGo Twists - they are 650 mah and my 900 mah "purple" spinner. I have tried the cartos and just really don't like...

    This really made me smile and remember my wonderful MIL. She loved spending time with her grandkids and my 5 were the only ones close enough to really get to know her and hear all the wonderful stories she had to tell. The others were down east and in Florida so she saw them very seldom...

    Good to see you again Ken and glad to hear that you and your wife are doing well. So that little paper ring is not necessary and removing it will improve the flavor? Any idea what the purpose of it is? Well ... I can understand Ken staying away because of not wanting to buy, but I do have to...

    How long did it take you to get off analogs?

    I smoked for 46 yrs (started at 12). I started out with a cigarette like - because I like many figured it needed to be just like a cigarette. I used these for 3 weeks - while I researched and stumbled onto ECF and spent 2 weeks reading. I then ordered a kit with 2 eGo 650 mah Twists, some CE4...

    I actually have not tried to DIY this one from scratch. I have been mixing a pre-made Green Apple and a Cranberry that I got from a vendor up here. I just mix 50% of the Green Apple and 50% Cranberry. So my plan is to just mix each of the separately - probably at 12% and then do my 50/50 mix...

    Tx - looks like pretty nice vape mail. Glad that you have family around and that you are doing ok with your treatments. Prayers still being sent. The fruit combination that I am really liking this week is Green Apple mixed with Cranberry. I have pretty much been alternating this with...

    My first bad luck with Canada Post

    Well it is still in transit from Ottawa - so I am now wondering if that is where it really is. Not sure how you confuse Lethbridge, AB with Ottawa, ON - but then I guess Ottawa might just be where they sent it for sorting. Looks like I will need to contact the vendor again - after the last...

    Please Tell Me Some Funny Horror Stories :)

    Well I guess it is good for us newbies to read some of these horror stories - hopefully we will learn from them :blink: I guess so far I am pretty fortunate - the worst I did was when I first got my T3. I had been having leaking issues with the CE4s and even at times with the T2 so I filled up...

    Good afternoon all :) Welcome jfal, that is is what I still find amazing is how easy it was to put the cigarettes down after smoking for so many years. Great job giving up on 3 PAD I actually started just to try to cut down on my PAD + a few. Did not take long to decide that the vapor...
