Are you done stocking up?

[kross8]

if you decide to go with microfiber style masks,, heat is a problem.

my plan,, use or toss i dont care.

i plan to have a dedicated small pot that i will boil water in,, with an ounce or so of bleach,, and our masks will get about a 30 second swim then air dry,, do not put into your dryer,, do not put into your microwave!!! the boiled water with bleach should be plenty to kill off anything living on it without killing the microfiber structure itself.

several patterns,, might as well be stylish,, you can even 'fold them over a bit' to cover your face. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079P37YVB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

fwiw,, more than likely you are better off with the buffs i posted yesterday or small microfiber washclothes folded in half (besides being more stylish) companies use the paper masks as costs savings,, toss away rather than have someone clean and inspect after every use/wash.

Some experts are saying that masks only are good for people that are sick to keep from spreading the illness but don't do anything for anyone that is not sick already.

april 12

time change this sunday

if you can go buy your food supplies before school gets out today,, we already had a HEB in Cyprus get the bare shelves treatment a few days ago,, Krogers is limiting water,, (ps,, canned foods come with water,, most utilities in developed areas can run on autopilot provided there is no storm etc.) we didnt buy water,, my husband has a habit of saving 2 liter bottles and we have a water filtration system.--after a year of fasting and dry fasting,, you would be surprised at how little water you need. (the 8 cups came from a time when we were all doing hard labor in the fields... my keyboard get more work than my feet)

I took advantage of that Pico Mega sale at eleaf.us and just got a notification that they are shipping.

My sister works at our local medical center's pharmacy. They can't get masks or hand sanitizer. Health workers can't get them because everyone else is buying them up. And I'm not even in a state that has reported any cases yet.

I needed a mask because I'm drilling into plaster and not even sure what behind that, so I googled 'DIY face mask' and I made one from a long-sleeved t-shirt, lol. They say unless you find it hard to breathe, you're not wearing your mask right. I'm definitely having hard time breathing with my home-made one. We'll see what happens when I'm done and I blow my nose.

@kross8
I actually was checking out buffs over the summer. I have to cover from head to toe when I'm working in the garden/yard, because bugs LOVE me, and I got some scary bites last year. Thanks for the reminder!

 

[Fidola13]

No but I’ve tried everything else. Once they get that off taste they are hard to reuse imo. If anyone uses 90-95% vg and has been successful using an ultrasonic cleaner I may consider getting one. Let me know please. But right now I don’t want to spend more money on vape stuff.

I soak them in hot water w a splash of dish soap overnight. Then rinse thoroughly with hot water and let dry.

 

[hittman]

Stocking mine and my parent’s pantry today. I dread Walmart but my son is going to push one buggy while I push the other to keep them separate. Has anyone tried to find face masks lately? Very hard to find at all much less at a reasonable price. Wow. Scary stuff. Glad I have a few bought back in 2014 when I suited up like an astronaut to break down my nic...

I mentioned this once before but try a welding supply store. I work for one and we have two or three boxes of the n95 masks in stock and if you want to spend more, we have ones that have replaceable filter cartridges.

I saw some today at Ace hardware when I went to get groceries. Try small local hardware stores.

 

[rosesense]

Re soaking the coils to reuse, try putting a drop of mouthwash in the water. Helps to get rid of strong flavors.

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

I am honestly glad I am fully stocked, this virus has really disrupted things and I would hate to be in a panic buying mode at this late date.

Yeah, I agree, stocking up now would suck donkey balls.

Fer sher.

From VapeNW blog...

@https://vapenw.com/blogs/news/deadly-coronavirus-slows-the-vape-industry

"The vape industry looks to take a big hit with Chinese manufacturers not rushing to return to regular operations, and there are few or no options. 90% of the world’s vape devices are produced in 1,000 factories in Shenzhen, China. If this continues, there could be an insufficiency in vape products and may even completely run out of stock."

Maybe just a marketing tactic (scarcity tactic) to get a rush on sales? lol Maybe. But I think it's definitely rooted in reality nonetheless.

 

[markfm]

Local ace hardware still has a bunch (multiple cases) of the 8210 n95 masks, $7/2-pack. I picked up a pack for attic cleaning.

They also have the 8511 cool flow, singles, $13.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Don’t have a clue, not risking it. I’m fine with menthol so all is not lost.

I think flavor west has a candy cane flavoring that is really good. Yep i just looked in my stash they do.

 

[NolaMel]

Look at the Dovpo/Signature Tips/Mike Vapes Clutch mech mod. It's getting stellar reviews so far. I'll be able to give personal experience tomorrow as I'm getting one in the mail today. @Hightech Redneck has one and I think a couple others do as well.

I’ll be interested to hear what you think. It’s definitely on my radar.
