Are you done stocking up?

That Discover article needs to go to FDA on Nicotine the Wonder Drug. I also was surprised to learn in Anatomy and Physiology class that we humans have nictotine receptors in our brain. I thought what? All these years we have been sold a bill of goods that nicotine is bad but our brain actually needs nicotine! I was stunned.
This is one reason why Chantix is so dangerous. It blocks those neuroreceptors(probably other receptors too) by depositing a foreign substance in your brain to disrupt the signals sent to and from the brain and why I refused to ever try it. And this was way before any horrid reports came out warning the public.

Just one more thing we can thank the FDA for. In my book they are batting a big fat zero if their mission is to protect lives. Even tho they claim it is, their actions are speaking a whole other language.

    Are we ready to discuss what we MISSED stocking up on? (the deals that got away?)

    Here I missed out on some sigelei Vmax V5's for $15. My mouse hovered over the buy button and I almost bought but with my stock of V3's I could not bring myself to buy.

    Some weeks later I realized that I actually liked the V5's more than the V3's it was to late, they were out of stock.

    I do but we call ours a hurricane bag since we live in Florida!

    The most we have to worry about here is an accidental house fire, and such things usually occur when people are either dead asleep, or not at home. So.. never really did one.

    But it does seem just terribly prepared to have one.. I'm just not that prepared.. lol..

    Oh a question I have two Picos I never took out of the box and they are wrapped in plastic so I am considering just leaving them wrapped, has anyone done that?

    I've left quite a few of mine in the packaging they came in unopened. Ya, I know I'm gambling they all work fine but I feel that's a safe gamble for now and think it's better to leave them as they are for the long haul.

    Believe me, had you had to take all four walls down to stud, replace most studs due to moisture rot, window,
    water proof two walls to make sure moisture didn't seep into kitchen or son's bedroom,
    replace exhaust fan which required replacing ceiling sheetrock, deal with replacing 50 year old plumbing fixtures,
    match existing mud/lathe walls with new wallboard, install insulation, tile, ETC. all by yourself
    all while suffering from congestive heart failure you would consider it severe
    as well as life altering to the point of life risking.

    Oh yeah, this with only one bathroom in the house..

    My comment was *not* meant to be humorous.
    The only way to get through that mission was to be on nicotine
    and the work environment was not conducive to hanging a mod from my lip
    and whistling while I worked.


    I suppose this isn't the right time to be asking if you used the moisture barrier sheetrock and/or wallboard?

    :D

    Agreed, the FDA on the drug end, they suck and it is hard to put any faith in them at all.

    Darn, sorry you missed that! I am sure I missed things too but can't think of any right now, except the Radius. I almost didn't buy one but now so glad I did :)

    I test all of the batteries, mods, etc The tanks, only some and none of the rebuildable ones yet.

    I too have mods and tanks for all my favorite diy ejuices I keep in rotation. It's a bit much to keep up with so I color code using the drip tips to help me associate which flavor goes in the tank. And since some of the tanks are multiples. You get the idea.....

    :)

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
    Does anyone have a list of new products that were recently released ?
    Just want to be sure there isn't some really cool thing I'd like to try :) The pods are new but not sure about other new stuff. Any MTL tanks or is everything sub ohm ?
    i dont have any Provari's,, everytime i go to their website i am not impressed/educated on the details of the products because of so much sorting out their website.... anyway....... can you post the original and #3 (??) most modern flat deck they are talking about.... my google search doesn't even show much. i am assuming its just the curved in top as opposed to the more flat top.........are those 2 designs impacting the looks/fit of standard 22m atty's,--tia,,i am sure i look like a fool asking.

    It is like a Pico but taller and heavier but it is small. I love it, hope they have a sale soon so I can get another one :)
    I initially thought they were huge, so I hardly looked, but am now considering one.

    @WillyZee or @AstroTurf can either of you provide a comparison picture?

    Kross, never ever a foolish question. :)

    I also have "several" tanks in rotation and use these. Avery 6721 Color Coding Labels 1/2 x 3/4 525ct They do wear and have to be replaced from time to time but the glue washes off easily so it's no big deal.
