I know people doing that. People that can’t leave the country are running for the boonies. I’m stuck in town though because of medical needs so I can’t. Im tempted to run, but I can’t run far enough for it to do any good.

*sigh* true. It’s in a bunch of bottles. Maybe I’ll keep one and one rig…. For close encounters. Im already below 3 mil, and the weight thing hit. I’ll likely keep everything after Im off everything for a few months. First the nic gets titrated down, then the flavor. The theory is when im vaping nothing but straight pg I will eventually just stop. I had a disposable in my car and tried to vape it today and failed. Stupendous amounts of coughing. Trump hasn’t come into office yet. If it’s anything as bad as predicted theres a good chance my life will be in danger. There might be too much stress. Im still astounded that he got elected. It’s not the republicans thing, that I can handle. It’s trump.

Not surprised at the coughing from the disposable, seems most of those run 40 - 50 mg/ml, Huge jump from my normal 18ish, and even more from your less than 3!

Many have reported tapering off the nic and flavors as a successful way to stop entirely. If that's what you want, good luck on the voyage!

Due to some health issues here, I've recently switched my my "style" to more of a pipe vaper, just keeping it in my mouth to get the nic and flavor, no longer inhaling. Works for me. :)

Trump did once say "I'm going to save vaping". And his party are talking a lot about getting rid of regulations. I'm not convinced though. The politicians still get their pockets stuffed by the same corporations no matter who is in the WH. They might get rid of regulations that protect the people from the corporations, but they will keep regs that benefit the corporations. Like vaping regs.

Like our French cousins say, "plus la change, plus la meme chose".

Are you saying I don’t know people doing that or that the people doing it are wrong? They don’t think so. One doesn’t emigrate casually. The richer you are the more casually you can. A lot of people who don’t make the news simply by leaving the house wearing a new designer are doing it though. Me I can’t even leave town. It’s generally a vast difference in quality of life for some reason which includes “we will end it if you stay”. I am stuck with hoping that Trump won’t be allowed to do all of what he said he is going to do. Most of it was ridiculous and some of it was actually illegal, but I don’t trust his administration to not figure out a way. It’s been done.
For one, I don’t trust him to ever leave except through death or the failure of an attempt to not do so, which is what happened last time. That could be very soon, he is almost as old as Biden was. Franco lasted to 91 though. My hope is to outlast him. I might not though.

Sorry Just a poor attempt at levity and old songs run through my head like rain. I have a grave marker with my name on it, they just have to add the date (really). And what's left of my earthly tent.

I am also old. I didn’t bother with the plot because I never had any kids.

That’s a bit like asking “give me one example of Trump lying” when he did it almost constantly. He would produce thousands of them to the point that “fact checking” became something viewed as anti trump, rather than something that had always been done to both candidates. It’s just that back then you might have seen 3 partial truths per entire election rather than like 10,000 outright whoppers in a month. All from one person. I’m left spoiled for choice. I also don’t do paper chase. This is not college sports policy debate, for all of Rusch Limbaugh being a top college pick.
I remember listening to him when he started getting popular to see why people were picking up this stuff. I did it for a couple hours just to make sure. My reaction was “he’s using standard LD and policy tactics on civilians” and that was it. It’s how we got truthers. In collegiate debate “truth” is much more like “I win” than “this actually happened”. It’s not about cause and effect. He Was so good at it he got a full ride scholarship just like LeBron…. They canned his scolarship though when there was a change that left his competitive style worthless. So he went pro.. sort of.

Lemme see…. Most of the stuff about forceful deportation is either ridiculous or illegal or both.
Not all of it. Just a lot of it. The one I found most amusing I saw was when he actually qualified for one of his definitions of those who should be summarily ejected…. And then hastily altered it so he didn’t…barely. An example of both ridiculous and illegal. There is merely ridiculous like all the statements that project 2025 had nothing to do with his agenda and then tried to hire most of the people that formed it. Not actually illegal. Silly but not illegal. As for illegal but not silly there was a lot less of that. Individuals incidents in this snow of problems is pointless and paper chase.

    What kind of charger is everyone using these days? Had a miboxer that fried out, some nitecores that died, one with USB charging that was painfully slow. Would like something with a real power cable. Considering another Miboxer, it was fast when it worked.

    I think I have one that someone included with a classified purchase. I never tried it though.
    I scrounged up some juice last night to try it out. It's a single coil build deck and easy enough to build on. I did a quick 9 wraps on a 3mm mandrel with plain 22ga kanthal. About .5 ohm. It worked as expected, no complaints that I could come up with.
