First world tank vaper problems; I want to try a different juice but my tank is still half full!
I've poured mine back in the bottle already or down the sink if I didn't like it. Only problem is if it is a strong flavored juice then I can still taste it even tho I washed everything out.

I really should get that for hubby too ...he loves anything ww2 and he will be laid up from hip surgery for a couple weeks. I wrote it down ..thanks. I don't visit bookstores anymore as I read on my kindle but I would get the hard copy for him.
He also authored D-Day, which just covers the Normandy landings. Citizen Soldier repeats some of the main stories from D-Day through the German surrender. Of course he also authored Band of Brothers, which was made into the HBO miniseries. Even though Stephen Ambrose is a historian with several books that covers other historical events (such as the Lewis and Clark expedition), he became most well known for his WWII books.

Another good book is Battle of the Bulge written by John Toland.

For a year and a half, I was doing a lot of travel flying between NY and California, so I had plenty of time to read on the plane. I went through the John Toland book, and six different Stephen Ambrose books.

Thank you..all of you for your positive words..now you've got me tearing up .
I think it was a lot worse years ago because everyone always asked what nationality you were.... Back then there were neighborhoods and I grew up in the German part of town...it was silly but true
Yep...there were many German speaking people living in our area...There was a sense of community...everyone trying to make a new life in a strange country with a strange language. Mom would tell me that there was a guy in the community who acted as laison ..and helped countless immigrants get their green cards..passports, pass their naturalization classes...and bring their families over. Some of my parents friends spoke Am English better than others :D ...It still makes me grin to think how Dad always pronounced it Par-MAY-shian cheese ..and with my aunt it was Uh-VAH-ka-DOO (avocado :D)

@redrebel821 I've always had big calves..to this day I think those boot blousers left a dent in my shins!:grr:

. My mom played in bomb craters in West Germany as a young teenager.
You know...in the early '60's Mom and Dad took us back to the Old Country to visit family....and my brothers and I played in some kind of big dirt area ..we came across this thing that in my 4yr old mind looked like a garbage can lid...And I remember..or was told..that we were run out of there by the grown ups and told to leave it alone...that it was an old unexploded bomb or mine. :shock:...wow...right in Grandma and grandpas back yard:eek:

This certainly is a day of rememberance. Thank you all for sharing

I've dumped down the sink before, (tried back into bottle, some are just too small to do it without a mess). I won't pour this juice down the drain, it's too yummy!
Cinnamon is the worst for me for lingering.

That's funny cuz I am having that problem right now!
If I like the juice I would normally put it in a 510 cartomizer ...Supposedly a standard size can hold about 1.1 ml up to they SAY 2.5ml on the Mega's . Mine hold about 45 drops. There are tables out there to help you decide what ohm cartomizer to use with what type battery..for example ...I use a 3.7v eGo type battery with a dual coil Carto so I can use run with betw 1.5-1.7 ohm. Anything lower would burn out my batt. The same 3.7v batt with just a single coil 510 Carto ..1.7-3.2 ohms.
Unfortch..I am out of cartos right now :(
For me, I think I really need and want an RDA (dripping atomizer) so I can drip...and TASTE the juice to see if I even like it or hafta let er steep...before I go and fill my tank even half way.:thumb:

..according to some YouTube vids, you can (carefully) remove the polyfill from the 510 carto and get a simple drip atty for tasting juice that way too, but I haven't tried it.

You are right ?the bottles are small and I do make a mess. I think most people use droppers to try out new juices but that still doesn't solve how to save the rest of your tank...lol

I got a freebie micro dripper with a juice win a while back. LOVE IT for tasting! May grab another one at some point just for tasting.
