    How to Have Happy Holidays!

    I haven't seen my blood family in years (I'm fine with that!).. but if I need to visit people over the holidays that trigger me in one way or another.. My #1 strategy is not letting them come to my place, but instead going to theirs. That way it's much easier to remove myself totally from...

    Thanksgiving, Family and Coping!

    .. which reminds me of a couple of friends my husband will probably suggest, who like to spend all day cooking, then sit down and eat Thanksgiving dinner in front of the TV. (I guess this is a good indication of addiction to The Tube.) *sigh* Never again. For me, Thanksgiving is a time to...

    Thanksgiving, Family and Coping!

    Last year me and my husband went to an all-you-can-eat buffet for Thanksgiving. Neither of us wanted to cook, or deal with leftovers, or cleaning... But... we found out this is a good option only if you like being around lots of people. I'm not sure what we'll do this year. Maybe just go...

    510 vs. 401

    ....and the winner is.... the 401. It has much longer battery life. MUCH MUCH longer. I don't need my portable charger because the battery life is 3-4 times longer with the 401, and only need to take a spare battery or two. I like dipping. The taste is cleaner, it's faster to work with...

    Smokers told me not to Vape

    I think this is why I rarely watch TV, and do lots of Internet research before making any final decisions.

    A confession

    Hi, my name is Ariel and I'm *still* addicted to cigarettes. :oops: *sigh* Yep, much more stress added to my life. When I'm not so stressed, the e-cigs are great. I love the different tastes. I love the way my health gets better. I love being able to vape inside. But yeah, the last month...

    Vaping in Wal-Mart.

    I vape in Wal-mart (among other places). Generally just as a stealth thing, though, when nobody else is in the aisle. I've been getting braver about vaping in grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. In the store, if I'm wearing a shirt with pockets, I'll just stash my PV and juice...

    VEGETABLE GLYCERIN vs. SYNTHETIC GLYCERIN

    Ugh.. I didn't know Wilton's was synthetic. :mad: Alrighty then, time to dump the Wilton's I have left (not much thankfully), and switch to the real VG I recently picked up from the local health food store. Oh well, this is why I keep up with ECF. :D

    Mountain Dew, sort of

    Another recent post to the DIY e-juice forum, again for my reference. 2.50 ml 48 mg unflavored PG 0.25 ml key lime (Loranns) 0.50 ml strawberry (Loranns) 0.10 ml lemon oil (Loranns) 0.30 ml Everclear 1.35 ml VG for 5 ml of 24 mg juice. I may tweak it a bit later when I pick up some orange...

    Clove juice

    This is something I originally posted to the DIY e-juice forum, but have modified from the original post to take into account various juice strengths, and posted here for my personal reference: Note: The oil doesn't burn out the atty. It DOES stick around a bit, but can be vaped out. Add to...

    Mountain Dew Flavor?

    ... Well, I used your recipe as a basis, and came up with 2.50 ml 48 mg unflavored PG 0.25 ml key lime (Loranns) 0.50 ml strawberry (Loranns) 0.10 ml lemon oil (Loranns) 0.30 ml Everclear 1.35 ml VG for 5 ml of 24 mg juice. I may tweak it a bit later when I pick up some orange, but this...

    Clove Recipe

    Not only that, but with that number of drops the clove flavor is INTENSE. It gives the same numbing effect that analog cloves do. I have a friend who's on a quest for a good clove juice.. she vaped some of my blend and immediately asked if she could buy 10 ml of it. and so far I haven't had...

    Yeah, I started doing that a few recipes ago. I've found that Everclear works excellently.

    Not all that long. Time span was approx 6 weeks, but that was with switching out other atties.

    Clove Recipe

    So much for my promise to myself to not use essential oils :p It's not so much that they clog my atty, but that the flavor tends to disappear. Anyway, I found the clove and anise oils today at one of the local health food stores. I tried your recipe, using 48 mg unflavored PG, and needed to...

    Clove Recipe

    I will definitely be giving this a try, since as of next month I will no longer be able to enjoy clove analogs. :mad:
