Remember Duncan Hunter, the vaping Congressman from California?

He was sentenced to 11 months in prison today. Evidently, he spent a ton of money on personal luxury stuff that wasn't meant to be for his personal use. I hate that he did that, but I really hate that we lost a true vaping advocate in a position of power too! I was so hoping he would be found innocent!
Maybe he fell down the vape rabbit hole

Yes, between today and yesterday I have gotten covid-19 emails from almost every US vape vendor I am subbed to. Actually, 8vape sent their last week IIRC.

Even UPS just sent one. I suppose Fedex will follow soon.

Gas company also sent one today.
All I really saw was them being sure I knew I could pay online lol

Pretty much. And they want us to know service will continue. But I don't buy any of that. This is SHTF and it's just the beginning. I hope I'm wrong. I have preps, but not nearly as well-prepped as I should be.

I know! I’ve had to do a hard shift from vape prep to food and supplies on only little funds. Grocery stores are whacked. Now chasing unicorns at Walmart. I don’t think we will go hungry, might have to scrub my keto diet though.

I am slow to take this in. I have missed the boat on tp, hand sanitizer and soap. But I feel confident that eventually people will be so over stocked that those things will be available again. I just hope my meager supply holds out until then.

I tried curbside delivery with Super1Foods today and it was SO worth it. Got everything on my list. THe produce was beautifully fresh (a very rare thing in this town). The best thing is the order is all done online. You go pick it up at a specific time you set. If you pop open the trunk from inside the car the store worker will load up your groceries without you ever having to get within 6 ft of anyone.

I believe many walmarts and other stores are offering a similar service. It might be worth checking in to if you want to minimize contact.

Kroger family stores do this as well.

I’ve got to get back in the swing. I’ve been locked down since Thursday. By Saturday, I gave up logging my WW points. Nothing to do but hang out here with y’all, or cook.
I think tomorrow I’ll mix a bunch of juice to steep. It’ll give me something to look forward to since I don’t have many shiny vape packages incoming. Looks like my Chefs order of flavors will be here tomorrow or Thursday.

I like the way you think, NolaMel, and I do believe that I'll join you.

Like, at my house though. Not yours. I'm not creepy.

Since I tend to cook for 2 days at a time. WW app has the ability for me to say "Hey Siri track yesterdays dinner" and autotrack the points for the 2nd days food.

I've just had a bad vaping day. Everything either needs rebuilt or is leaking horribly. Getting that straightened out will be tomorrows project.

Nah, come on over. I know you’re not being creepy lol! I’m at around 400 flavors. Plenty of stuff to mix with! I seriously questioned my sanity about that number (had to look at ELR twice cause it sounded awfully high) , especially as I wait for yet another Chef’s order to arrive. I bet my Stixx nets aren’t logged in either :facepalm:. I think I need a diy intervention :lol:

400? Seriously? Man, that is a lot of flavors! I think I might have 12-14 in my stash, but I'm a serious creature of habit. If I don't like it right off the bat, it usually winds up in the trash.

I know, I just hate lying to an app! Somewhere between the peach cobbler and the homemade bread, meatloaf and mashed potatoes I decided what the app didn’t know wouldn’t hurt it. Unfortunately, the waist band on my jeans felt differently. So, back to behaving tomorrow. I sure wish I had Himself’s metabolism. He lost 2 pounds over the weekend!
Some vape days are just that way. We all get hit now and then. Super frustrating. Good day for a drop in coil tank. Wishing you no leaks tomorrow!!

I’m not close to what some people have. It starts innocently getting several brands of one flavor to layer them and spirals out of control from there lol. I only have a handful of recipes that I keep mixed on the regular. I sort of rotate through flavor profiles as I get bored with one. Keeps it interesting. Funny thing is, about half the time I vape unflavored. I just enjoy messing around with recipes as much as vaping them.

After 18 months I think I track out of habit more than conscious thought.

Yeah I got frustrated about 2 PM and pulled the RBA out of my cerebus and stuck in a Baby beast drop in. I've had to change my shirt twice today because of leaking eliquid. The Marvik RBA either works beautifully or dumps the contents of the tank almost all at once. When it works it is fantastic but if the wicking is not exactly right lookout.

I wish I had thought of at least wiping down the plastic wrap on my vape mail today. I meant to but got so excited to find out what was in the packages :eek: !

I really liked the minis and battery life will depend on how you vape. Like I said I chain vape from morning to midnight at mid watts so you depending on your vaping style you may get much longer battery life than I did.
I've been spraying my mail with alcohol.

We may have to buy TP from China, oh the irony!
