If anyone is interested in the T-Dux 2.0 tank, Mad Vapes has a great deal -- 3 tanks and 52 coils for $29.99. I'll probably pass unless I decide to use them in my vapeocalypse stash.

In other news, I have jury duty starting May 2. I'll have to go through the metal detector line every time I need a puff. It will be even harder when I get thrown in jail for contempt -- my current sleep cycle is about 5am-1pm. I keep trying to change it to something more normal but haven't succeeded. I don't see any way I won't be very late every day.

Thanks Poeia for making me feel better about my 3:00 am to 9:30 am sleep cycle! I keep trying to go to bed earlier also and it usually doesn't work Seriously though, I feel for you! Jury duty is not fun!

I won't get picked. They always ask if you have served on a jury before. And, if yes, "without telling me what the verdict was, were you able to reach a verdict?" I was on a hung jury so, hopefully, I'll just have to show up 2 days. If you're not picked by then, in NY they let you go.

love to hear your thoughts on it too. For some reason I have never tried it and not heard much about it

Well, I'll definitely report on it. I've heard that Kiwi can be tricky for juice makers, so I was really happy to hear Lisa say it was so good. And, if I'm remembering her post correctly, she also said it was bold!!! That's all it took to convince me!!

I've had a bad time with my sleeping cycle lately too. I bought some 5 HTP at the health food store recently, and it helps, so I'm hopeful. I think it will take some time for my body to get used to going to sleep before the wee hours of the morning, but it is getting better every day.

Sounds like you've got a good plan. Be sure to tell us about it. One time I was determined not to get picked so I decided to pretend I ardently adored the death penalty. It didn't work, and I got picked anyway!!

Poeia, when I did jury duty I just sneaked into the stairwell on breaks. Nobody there and lots of space for diffusing the vapor. This was Florida, but I also did my duty back at the Nassau County Court, too.

What is 5 HTP?

My last time, one guy had a father who was a police officer. No matter what the question, he turned it into "because of my father, I always assume the defendant is guilty." It worked.

When I was on a jury, they showed us the stairwell near the jury room where we could sneak out. But in Manhattan the room you report to is about half an acre big with benches and TVs showing videos about how important it is to serve. There are a few bathrooms but I'd have to hike down the hall to find a stairwell.

I have a 48 ounce insulated water bottle which will be full of ice coffee and I will bring a fully charged iPod (with it's Hugh Laurie shrine*) and a Kindle (a couple of books and Elementary.)

*Every episode of House, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, and Jeeves & Wooster plus some comedy bits from other shows he's done.

House. I became addicted to it, this winter. Not just a passing fancy, but full blown, stay up all night and the heck with the consequences addiction :). Hugh Laurie is perfection personified in that role! :wub:

House Transcripts
Fan made transcripts of the episodes. I took over the site in S5.

I can point you to some great Hugh Laurie sites if you want. I don't really keep track of the others but there are places for their maniacs as well. :)

ETA: Hugh Laurie is also perfection personified as the "most evil man in the world" in The Night Manager and he's going to be on Veep again this season (starting Sunday.) He played Julia Louis-Dreyfuss's running mate last year.

Good idea!! I stealthily vaped a little bit during a movie recently. The theater probably didn't have more than 15 or 20 people in it and no one knew I was vaping!

It is what causes your body to make its own melatonin. It's widely available at health food stores. I took melatonin years ago, and it helped me sleep, but it gave me very intense, scary dreams, so I stopped taking it. I don't have that problem with the 5 HTP. When I go to sleep, I sleep like a baby.

It's the only Kiwi I have tried and liked. I think it has a very subtle coconut added in to a bold Kiwi? I love coconut and vaped Coconut Dream for years off and on. I'm out now, or I would still use it from time to time. I have 3/4 of a big Kiwi Sea bottle but just haven't been into it lately. These days, when I get obsessed with one flavor I'm pretty restrictive. I used to vape all kinds of flavors in various tanks. I used to be much easier to please with flavors!Maybe forcing myself to stop Vaping for a week would change that. Ha! Good luck!

I just looked it up and Web MD has a drug interaction list that I'd have to call my doctor about. But it does look interesting.

Part of my problem is that I have very, very sun-sensitive skin. I think that subconsciously I chase the sunrise so I almost never go out in daylight.

Too bad my dad wasn't a policeman! That's a great excuse!

If I'm going out for an hour or two I'm okay with one flavor plus a backup battery and an unused cartomizer in case the coil dies. Five or 6 hours requires two setups and a spare PV. Longer than that and I carry enough to carry me through if I get stranded for a week. I don't take any of my prescriptions with me so I'd better not get stranded but, if I do, I have the essentials with me.

Heh. You sound like me, except the "two set-ups and a spare PV" is for any outing longer than two hours, and includes a baggy with at least two bottles of juice for refills! :D


And here Hugh is a Louella Della Twee

Yeah! I don't think that would work for me either.

Glad to hear you like the Kiwi Sea too.

I had been wanting to order the Coconut Dream for a while and finally got some in my last order. I liked it right away, vaped one small tank and put it away for steeping, making sure to open it for no more than 10 minutes every day or two. The last time I did that, I was charging my cell phone and got careless with the cord. It knocked over the bottle and pretty much emptied it!! So the next AHL order will also include a bottle of Coconut Dream, which will be fiercely protected from all cords!

That is interesting and it makes sense too. The 5 HTP helps me. It's not real strong, but it is pretty effective at helping me transition from being awake to being asleep.

Look at you, Gurl!! I LOVE IT!!! You look really good in that 'do! Is it easy to put on and remove? Is it a pain to deal with for showering? I think you look DARLING in it!
