    8-o :grr: Gah. Well, THAT'S special. I guess it's finally time to set up a pre-paid card. I'm glad my mondo-sized stocking up order went in early last week, so I won't have to worry for a bit. Still, I agree that this may be a sign of things to come.

    RIP *sigh*

    I do believe I've had my first atomizer death. Not sure how it happened. :confused: No vapor, no throat hit, like the battery was dying. So, switched the battery. Still nothing. Switched the cartridge. STILL nothing. :( THEN I put in a different atty, and got lovely expected...

    Meh.. still smoking the occasional analog, generally first thing in the morning. But I will be dropping them entirely, and soon. I'm really beginning to hate them.

    DIY gear

    Where I've been finding my supplies so far: Cart mods: Straws: Swisspers. I got mine at Walmart in a color to match my e-cig. (link provided for visual reference only) Teabags: Teeli flip filters. Purchased these at the gourmet cooking store nearby. A bit pricey, but the quality makes...

    I just wanted to add another testimonial to the list :) I haven't gotten my order yet, but I'm very impressed by somebody who A) does email (multiple times) on a SUNDAY, just to make sure the order is correct. Maybe it's just because I'm in Utah. B) has shipping notification in my emailbox...

    Sweet!

    I like the idea of using a straw in my cart. It makes a lot of sense. However, I DON'T like the idea of using poly-fill in my cart. It tends to get caught on the atty arch, it tastes weird, it's a pain stuffing it in the cart. Oh yeah, and the idea of that stuff MELTING and VAPING...

    Heh - I'd try those combos if I had the flavors available... maybe I'll have to go invest in some more :) It's all good. Most of the time, anyway :D

    Cool :) I have used the Lorann's lemon oil with no problem. For the Lorann's, I use more than a few drops, but it's still a very small percentage of the overall, maybe 5%, especially if it is one of their oils and not flavorings.

    E.F.T. aka Tapping can lessen you pain, or remove them completely!

    I have had limited personal success with EFT... in spite of going to a specialist. For me, it works well for physical ailments, but does little for the mental and emotional. I have tried it solo, with my husband leading me through it, and with paid specialists. I have ALSO tried some of the...

    Thanks. This may be a seasonal thing - I don't remember seeing the flavors there before. Or maybe it's just that I didn't notice them before. Since I started vaping and mixing my own juices, I seem to have a new sixth sense for finding things I didn't care about before. :)

    You're welcome :D There are two SnS stores I'm aware of in the Valley, one in Sandy and the other at the aforementioned 4500 S/900 E. My blog has some recipes listed, and if you let me know if/when you might be showing up at Greenhouse Effect on Friday nights, I can explain a bit more...

    Hey - I see you're in Utah too :) I've had a lot of success with denture cleaner myself. It seems to get rid of ALL residue on both atty and carts. Let it dry overnight, and it's good to go again with no attached memories of whatever was vaped through it before. I don't use the minty denture...

    Another ...-neutralizing recipe

    Yeah, that 555 Menthol stuff . Maybe it needed to mellow or something, because today when I opened the bottle I didn't immediately want to close it back up. Anyway :D on Saturday I discovered a local store selling lots of Lorann flavors for relatively cheap, and wanted to see if I could come...

    Essential oils are (generally) different - it seems that "oil" refers to something like what a flavor might be cut with, such as olive oil. And, I don't use more than one or two drops for 4 ml of juice. I vaped with several blends for several weeks that had EOs added to them, and didn't notice...

    Hey Utahns - (at least the ones creating their own blends).... I went into Spoons n Spice on 9th East and 4500 South yesterday and discovered most of the Lorann flavors for sale - $3 for 7.5 ml. :w00t: :hubba: If you're impulsive like me, hate waiting for Internet orders to ship, and live in...

    snus noob

    Yes, I second this. I have ordered from them twice, and in both cases got my order back very quickly, even though it was shipped from Sweden. The expiry on the cans suggest that the stuff they ship is about as fresh as you could hope for. Buy Snus, Order Swedish snus online world wide -...

    Note to self

    In general, avoid using essential oils. Except for lavender, they don't seem to blend very well into juice.

    Turning ... into something much tastier

    OK, last night at coffee, Raven was kind enough to gift me a bottle of Nhale-Exhale 555 Menthol. I can't turn down free juice, right? I tried vaping it. OMG. With all due respect to Nhaler, the vapor tastes like ... and NOTHING like the menthol analogs I used to smoke. Gah...

    Yeah, you looked a little limp after that. :( I'm virtually 100% certain I won't be going camping this weekend at all, for several reasons. And I will definitely plan on being there Friday. :D
