At the concert...I'd pick a seat in the last row, so there would be no one behind you potentially sneezing or coughing at your head. If you stand up and clap loudly or cheer for your niece during the performance...she'll know you were there, even in the back row.

For the beanbag toss...I'd wear a pair of latex gloves. Kids, especially younger ones around your GGD's age, certainly use their hands for some very gross purposes sometimes. :D

I got a reprieve on the bean bag toss. The school is in Hendricks County and a kid in that area came down with CV. They cancelled public activities at schools in the county. They declared today a learn from home day as well. Still looking at their options. I suspect more of this will be coming to a school district near you.

I just received an order of a gallon of VG and a gallon of PG. The PG was fine. The VG wasn't in a shipping box, just the flimsy Essential Depot box which had come apart. The jug had been dropped on its top so the lid was pushed in at a 45 degree angle.

Amazon agreed to replace it but they wanted me to return the damaged one. There was no place in the return process to tell them the damaged article couldn't be shipped. I could have dropped it off at UPS but I would have had to tell them it was damaged and might leak to protect myself, and they wouldn't have accepted it. I got in a chat session with Amazon and they agreed to drop the return.

Good thing is I get a free gallon of VG out of it. I can transfer the stuff in the damaged jug into the old empty jug. Won't be easy with the bent top but I can pour it into a measuring jug.

New Orleans just announced the first “presumptive case” today. Not looking forward to how this is likely to play out nationwide.

    Fired up a new OCC coil today, tasted like an electrical short on first hit. Decreased the wattage a little bit and let it sit for a while. Now I BARELY taste the electrical problem anymore but it is still noticeable.

    I'm sure you guys have run into this before. I've done reacted two different ways in the past, toss the coil, or just keep vaping it until I can no longer taste it.

    What do you guys think?

    Is the resistance showing correctly? Regardless, I'd toss it, personally.

    Are you talking about the square Kanger OCC coils?

    Montana -

    A 120-day ban on the sale of flavored E-liquid and vapor products was implemented back on 12/18/19 due to the national outbreak of lung illnesses...14 days past the original 2/20/20 vape ban end date .. sale of vapor products remains prohibited.

    ...vape shop owners, including Deanna Marshall, said they will resume selling flavored E-liquid and vapor products on February 20th despite the Bullock Administration saying the temporary ban will be in effect until April 15th. “We gotta do what we gotta do. ... The law is the law is the law. If we have to go to court again, we’ll go to court again, but we will be selling our products on February 20th as the law states...

    Deanna Marshall states her stores have lost more than 60% of their revenue since the temporary ban took effect.

    Source: What’s going on in Montana?

    I feel so bad for the myriad of small vape shop owners affected by the BS. Good for Deanna adjusting so she could stay in business by selling diy. It’s still very sad that she had to lay off 6 employees. Thanks for posting that

    Yeah it was reading 0.64 when I was having problems now it's 0.59. It's a kanger OCC 0.5 sometimes they end up around 0.6. Think you're right about tossing this one though.

    But that would be the same for the regular flu.... although with all of the hype I would expect a higher percentage to report being sick now vs. the normal flu.

    Well... but we’re calculating flu in hindsight. Most people can pretty much diagnose themselves, if they don’t see a doctor, no test required. I don’t know what all goes into figuring those numbers, but I expect that since nobody’s in a panic about flu to the point of denying cases - and I believe we are getting some realistic numbers in the Coronavirus, but there’s an effort in certain areas to suppress and minimize those numbers - it could artificially elevate the mortality rate.

    Again, just my take.

    But the fact is, nobody can estimate how deadly this is yet.

    I usually buy from Fasttech when they have a good sale, or anytime I need spare glass for tanks or other replacement parts. I think FastTech is up and running again, but they are low on stock, as I think most vendors are right now. Evidently, the vape manufacturers are either way behind or just aren't operating right now because of the Corona Virus. I think 3FVape is back in business again too. Since everyone is probably low on their in-stock products, order fulfillment will be delayed.

    They're slowly getting back up to speed. Today I received orders from Everzon and 2FDeal. I have 2 FT orders that are currently shipping, with just 1 left. If you order from FT, just make sure the item is in stock and it should ship fairly quickly.

    My 3avape order from 2/22 arrived today - better than they've shipped to me from China in the past. As long as I order in stock items, it appears Chinese distributors are shipping pretty much normally again. In my case, Vaporl, Fasttech and 3avape are all coming through now.

    Still waiting on my order from 2/18 from them.

    My first order from them, and a couple of things confuse me. Last week, this top line said something like en route to JFK Airport. No other change since 3/3. And I don't understand how, when they presumably haven't handed off to USPS yet, it shows in several places here, unless they work in coordination somehow in China, but I've never seen this.

    Did you get normal tracking notices?

    That's what tracking on my orders looked like. No further updates until they cleared customs in Chicago. One arrived today. Looks like the other two will be here tomorrow.

    Very happy with my greenies so far. It will be hard to put them away in the stash box.

    Glad your orders made it here! I've got a cart at FT that has some items in stock and some that are supposed to be in-stock within about a week. I worry that they may just keep extending the date my items are supposed to be in-stock. Many items I need most are not in-stock. I'll probably just order what's already in-stock now and make additional orders a bit later.
