I haven't purchased anything since before the 8th, anything I buy now is just a "want" not a necessity, and who I buy from will depend on the age verification system they use. I may be removing some favorite vendors from my bookmarks because of this.

    With all the extra online shopping activity, my card got compromised AGAIN. (sigh):-x

    This time I marched down to one of the banks I use and opened a entirely new account that I'll dribble some money in from time to time to cover online purchases and I'll only use THAT CARD for online purchases from this moment going forward.

    To many 'auto deduct' and other things pointed at my main use cards to use them online anymore. Each time this happens I have to track down and correct whatever accounts are pointed at the now defunct card and point them elsewhere. (what a PITA)

    If your asked about a Wallgreens money transfer from NY and you don't live there or recently did a purchase there, you might be in the same boat.

    Yeah, I pretty much only talk to people online. I break out in a sweat and get nauseated in the grocery store. I have to pep myself up before going to my granddaughters' birthday parties. (too many people!) If I am going to check the mail, I make sure no one is driving by. I have bad anxiety. :(

    Awwww...{{{hugs}}} debik

    Anybody like me get lost in video games that require maps? How the hell does one gets "lost" in a video game?
    I was in here playing Minecraft with my niece. She thought I was joking when I said I couldn't find my house. o_O

    Lol I tried playing that game splat. Couldn't find my way around either. [emoji28] Went in to something simpler. I like "Tapped Out" and the Hidden object type games.

    I just went through my bookmarks of vape deals on items I like and found a bunch of sites were already closed. Glad I didn't wait!
    For all of those that convinced themselves that nothing would change after 8/8. Well the proof is right there :( It is sad that so many are choosing to close instead of waiting to see if this mess can get turned around though. :(

    I'm with Lexi on the rayon.
    I smoked for 30+ years, I'm (seriously) not too concerned about my wick material.
    That doesn't mean that I don't care what I vape, not at all, just that...well, most devices need a wick of some sort, and I've researched, and tried, a few of the different types, and decided that rayon is fine with me.
    YMMV, and as always, do what you're comfortable with. :)

    Here is a great thread, this is part 1:
    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    and, Phil Busardo has a lengthy, but interesting comparison video regarding a few different types of wicking material.

    Thank you for posting those links!!! My plan was to do the same but then I got busy & forgot.

    Every time I see a post regarding wicking I'm like my grandson........seriously??!! (That's his word for anything I say out my mouth) :blink:

    What also bugs me is that while all things vaping are being turned over by vapers with a fine tooth comb, that doesn't stop anyone from buying out of China or parts unknown because the prices are cheaper.

    We've no clue what questionable standards are being used in China or anywhere else yet if someone thought they could get that big box of rayon from Fasttech they'd do it in a heartbeat!

    I'm funny about rayon, I prefer cotton in my drippers, bottom feeders and PT2 re-builds, but I only use rayon in my Russian's and Kayfun's now.
    I alternate. I use rayon when I'm doing a quick change but when I have time to sit down & cleanup & rewick I may use KGD or ReadyXWick.....just depends on what's going on with me at the time.
