Are you done stocking up?

[rosesense]

What recently changed with WA's laws for the vendor not to be able sell to WA any longer ?

I haven't figured it out. I have searched and see pending garbage but nothing that results in no shipments. If you try to buy something on vapor beast, once you input the state/zip, a pop up comes up and says they can't ship to WA. or something to that effect. I needed to stop anyway so I am good.

There is some truth to that. Martial arts can bring out the best or worst in anyone. It depends on how it is taught.



I was in notorious Chung Mo Quan. It's all funny now but was a reality check when I was in it. People from the outside either laughed at it or feared it. The people in it either were a great fit and wanted to be trained to the nth degree as weapons or looking for a way out. They attracted nothing but the finest because everyone was freaked out to even go in the dojo. One of the Head Regional Instructors attended my high school in Illinois and he won state for his weight division in greco roman wrestling at least 5 times that I know of.

The founder, John C Kim, who had schools in many states was charged with tax fraud. Schools in Illinois, where I attended, were charged with extortion and threatened to harm police officers for telling them that the Governor of the State of Illinois had revoked their license to conduct business within the entire state. I rcvd a call from my mom while at college that there was a standoff being broadcast on TV and several schools were shut down with a few getting arrested. They were extremely tough, bad cookies.

They would sign people up for programs and expected you to be there and did not care that you, your family, or job had other plans. It basically was a cult. You had to run everything by them before you made any major decisions. If you missed, they called. If you missed twice, they sent a car load of high ranking instructors to bring you to school. I know an entire family that joined the US Navy to get away from them. They sold their home, and the mother, son and daughter all enlisted. They were not a McDojo, they were serious nutcakes!

They had class and special lessons from around 4AM to 12PM ever hour, every day of the week. Depending on what program you signed up for, you were expected to be there 1, 2, 3, 4 hours or the entire day depending upon your rank. 2 hour sessions were called double sessions, and almost everyone did them at high intensity.

The instructors lived dorm style in homes purchased by the school. Students could work off or pay for school by working at the instructors residence.

I joined the Marine Corps and was booted for a heart murmur. They were ticked, but couldn't do anything. They kept calling the house to make sure I was "gone" ... hahaha. But as I said, the Marine Corps booted me so one day they caught up with me and made me submit a DRs statement that I could no longer work out with them. They wanted proof!

That isn't the only rogue school out there. I know of others.

Holey Cow!! That is crazy what they put you thru.

@Haktuspit, congrats

Zut, take care and visit when you can. You will be missed.

 

[bnrkwest]

@Zutankhamun , you don't just LEAVE ECF, clearly you didn't get the memo.

​

Well shoot, hurry back.

​

Yes hurry back Zut! You can be like me, no credit cards so nothing to buy LOL

I've got the perfect cure to your problem. Run out of money, stopped my shopping dead in it's tracks.

Just had to skip a lot of pages. Long story short, I've been best friends with benefits with this girl from my hometown for around 16 years, despite living in California for 12 I've seen her every trip I've ever taken home. After professing my love and getting a "probably not, but maybe" and then 3 months of silence I talked to her on the phone a couple nights ago (when I disappeared) and she made me prove it, and prove it I did. While she's still quite a bit hesitant, and said I'd have to earn her trust, I'm pretty sure I got a shot at real love with one of my closest friends ever when I get home.

Couldn't not share with you guys... we're interweb family. If I'm gone my head is in the clouds.

Wonderful!!! Best friends make the best life buddies All the best

Im going on 9 months and still vaping 0 mg nic.

Have NO intention of stopping my vaping. In fact i am prepped for 5-7 years. Then I may not be able to build then I will be 66-68.

Well I'm sixty six and I stocked for 20 years! LOL So I suggest you up your stash. You don't want to be unprepped if you surprise yourself by living long LOL I have a stash of Cartos and Vivi coils for my 80's

 

[bnrkwest]

My extra liter of Nic arrived, that puts me at the over 20 yrs mark now I have to break it down tho as it is in plastic. I have Boston rounds to put it in.

I was at my vape shop today talking with the owner for a few hours about the deeming and state regulations and I knew WA hadn't come up in our conversation so I wondered if we'd missed something.

Sad to say but I think the first half of 2017 is going to bring a whole lot of new regulations and vaping taxes to a whole lot of states.

Agreed. I'm 56 and while I am not the best specimin I think I'll hit 80 to 85 no problem.

 

[Tommy-Chi]

You guys forgot the true preserve /argon step IMO.

I agree. If it means getting another six months or six years out of the nic, do whatever you can. Who knows what the availability or cost will be when the time comes to get more.

 

[bnrkwest]

Agreed. I'm 56 and while I am not the best specimin I think I'll hit 80 to 85 no problem.

Yep I'm planning on it Not sure what I'm going to do in my 90's may have to pick up cig a likes if my stash runs out LOL!

 

[JCinFLA]

Not sure what I'm going to do in my 90's may have to pick up cig a likes if my stash runs out LOL!

Well, I'm a few years younger than you. So if your stash runs out in your 90's...just get in touch with me. I'll help you out, 'cause my nic won't run out until I'm about 84 if I keep vaping at 6mg. But if I drop it even to 4mg for a few years...I'll have enough until I'm 90 or so...to share with you!

That's the sixty four thousand dollar question.

Based on the age when the 2 generations before me died I will last from between another 13-46 years, or I may drop dead tomorrow or live til 125 just to really mess up the equation.

Tanks and mods are fine for 15 years. Mechs and RTA's after that. Nic about 25 at current levels. More if I reduce levels further.

Will I even want to vape.

I would love to know what that is and where to get it! I love my KFL+V2, and would really like to make is shorter and lighter. Pretty please?

Sure NO problem.

Its a short bell cap.

$1.69 Free Shipping Replacement Acrylic Bell Cap for Kayfun Mini RTA Atomizer (Kayfun Mini Bell Cap, Acrylic, Translucent) at m.FastTech.com

Take the barrel, Kayfun base and a drip tip you already own

Screw tge barrel into tge bell cap. Screw on the base of tge fill the 2.5 ml Tank add a short drip tip and you are in business.

I screwed the little Kayfun on my Pico snd put a 17 mm drip tip on the Kayfun.

From the bottom of the Pico to the top of the drip tip it is only 107 mm tall (just shy of 4 1/16 inches tall

Putting my Kayfun on the COV Mini Volt my mod snd RTA IS only 99 mm tall (3 7/8 inches tall.

Remember the barrel screws into the bell cap without using either the standard or nano chimney.

Sor sone reason with the mobile version of the ECF website i can only Post 1 link per message.

Will reply again with another link for a while RTA if you like direct lung vaping

Here is the link to the atty i bought only differerent color bell cap.

$5.43 Free Shipping Kayfun Monster Mini V3 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (2.5ml) (Monster Mini V3, SS + PMMA, Purple (fuzzy)) at m.FastTech.com

Before buying this Atty i had dropped my mod and Silverplay Nano on the bus and I wanted something i would not be upset if i destroyed. I mean tge whole atty cost less than $5.50.

I didn't expect it to be any good. I just didn't want to kill my Silverplay Nano. If i could have bought spare bell caps for tge Silverplay Nano i would not have bought this little Atty.

10 months later this is all i vape. I put my Silverplay back in the vapocalpse stash.

I really like it for three reasons.

1. So darn pocket friendly.
2. I can switch out the bases as my vaping styles change.
3. I screwed the barrel tightly to tge bell cap and I can flip the Atty upside down and unscrew the base so i can rebuild or rewick without dumping a full tank of Juice

Monster V3 base for direct lung hits

Kayfun lite plus V2 base for Mouth to Lung hits.

I would love to know what that is and where to get it! I love my KFL+V2, and would really like to make is shorter and lighter. Pretty please?

Speaking of light. This Atty with the Lite Plus v2 base weighs 40.8 grams (1.44 ozs,)

No brother you don't understand.

I only have 1 1/2 hands (three fingerson my left hand are curled up and useless from Duprodens contracture), and my eyesight is terrible something like 20 800. Even the big old E on the eye chart is blurry (i used to be a professional photograpber but my eyesight went to hell in a hand basket.

In 5-7 years i may be legally blind or unable to build my attys.

I have laid in about 50 premade coil heads for a Tank for when i can't see to build.
