Dang, I forgot about that one. Probably because I didn't need to stock it; my wife uses it fairly regularly and always has some around.
For me so far the body aches are the worst. When I first wake up I deal with a raw stomach from drainage but a few crackers takes care of that. Nose isn't even running all that much. Just hellish body pain. I also get stop me in my tracks tired very suddenly.
The hubby has more of the nose/coughing thing going on even so it isn't all that bad. We have both certainly had sinus infections worse than this has been so far.
I do thank my stars that I switched to vaping years ago so I don't have lung issues complicating things. I am sure the weight loss has helped as well.
The thing people need to remember is according to the stats I was able to find 80% of those who get this need no doctors intervention at all. By all means get tested and watch for warning signs that things are going wrong but in reality for most people the hype has caused panic where it doesn't belong.

I was very hesitant to purchase medication off Amazon but I've been on this stuff for two weeks now and I feel just the same as when I was taking Pepcid from the pharmacy. Had no idea this would help with Covid symptoms I'm just following Dr orders.

vaporrange's Mothers' Day code, MOTHER15, still works.

ya'll keep PG and VG in the plastic jugs they come in long term right? it's just nicotine that we try to preserve the strength of, by keeping it in amber jars right? I'm not trying to pour out 2 gallons of PG and VG into little glass bottles lol. I'm also thinking about buying a gallon of 3mg and just leaving it in the jug. I cut to 1.5mg anyway. It can stand to lose some potency
yes.
On the bright side, you'll be done with it, immune, super myrany!
actually there are cases popping up of people getting it twice.
Tell that to the families of over 200,000 dead Americans.
Hey folks, I know I've read about this not too long ago, but I wanted to check in again considering all the post-PMTA stuff going on. Make sure nothing crept up on me. Are we still looking pretty safe when it comes to 18650 and 18500 battery availability?
I imagine there will never be restrictions because of their varied use, but nothing surprises me anymore.
Actually I am thinking of stocking up at some point next year. I always went with Efest, but I've seen charts on here where other batteries are recommended.

18500s aren't very popular and I could see them becoming hard to find due to market factors rather than government actions.
I don't worry much about 18650s at this time.
I've been looking into buy some 18500s lately - the selection is extremely lacking, the prices are high comparatively speaking, and price won't be falling IMHO.
If your a low wattage vaper who absolutely needs 18500s, and you can find any whose actual amp rating is well above what you normally would reach, get 'em now. And personally, I would never bother buying any 18500s (for vaping) that no one has tested (Mooch or others).
As for stocking-up on 18650 batts, that's an argument I don't care go have anymore as it goes nowhere. Your call. But I will say that you should stock up only if you're willing/able to do whatever it takes to keep them as healthy as possible while not in use. Otherwise there's really no point. Your call.
EDITED TO ADD: Stay away from low amp 18500s like this one since it would be very easy to exceed the rating even if you're a low wattage vaper.

If I were inclined to stockpile batteries, I'd do it as follows:
- Charge 'em to 3.6V using a charger set to LiFePo (e.g. XTRA VP2).
- Store them in my fridge.
- Pull them out once per year, allow them 24h to come to room temp.
- Charge to 4.2V @ 0.5A. Discharge to 2.8V @ 0.2C and make a note of their capacity.
- Re-charge to 3.6V and put them back in the fridge for another year.
What charger or other equipment do you use to accomplish this. I can do this with my Opus charger, but I have to be constantly looking at it since it can't be programmed to stop charging/discharging at a certain voltage.
I am not belittling the danger or their loss. For the vast majority that get this it is NOT the panic inducing horror we expect. YES get tested. YES isolate. YES wear masks. YES use hand sanitizer/wash hands. YES be very aware of the warning signs you are not in the 80% of cases which are mild/moderate.
FYI we have lost people close to us from this disease. I get it. It freaking hurts. That does not change the fact that the media have been stoking terror of it where common sense should be prevailing. MOST people who get this do not get dangerously ill. This is not AIDS in the 1980s. It is not an automatic death sentence.
For charging to 3.6V, any charger that has a setting for LiFePO cells should work. I use an XTAR VP2. On that charger, it just a matter of sliding a switch to the correct position.
For discharging (and measuring capacity!) I use this:
However, that's fairly spendy; roughly $160. But of course I can program any cut-off voltage I want with it, and if a man wants to do "science", he needs precision instruments, right?

To the families of "200,00 dead Americans" I say.... Look up the CDC REVISED statistics and see how many did not have cofounding factors.
It you run around with uncontrolled diabetes or COPD I'm sorry that will make it more lethal... kinda like the flu.
I get the CDC has to sweep with a broad net at first, I am not faulting them, but the media that NEVER mentions the revised numbers.
NOT to mention the fraud in the healthcare industry which I have seen first hand.
I had it I am high risk even. I was fine in the end.
I get it and I feel bad for the 200k families whose family members died etc.
I will remind us all that starvation is 100% fatal. Life is also 100% fatal.
SO.... I'm not buying the "emotional argument." I truly hate it.
No offense intended OR implied. JUST my opinion.

That's an interesting contraption. Is that mostly for your battery longevity experiments? On one hand, it would be useful to have; on the other hand, that's the cost of a lot of replacement 18650 batteries.
It seems like it would come in handy if you were planning to store a lot of batteries long term. Not so much if you just use what you have on a daily basis.
