Chit Chat in VOLTVILLE Thread #2 :)

Wow, what a weekend, Raven.

Love the photos. How cool is it for the kids to be building a home.

I alos vape low nic. How much do you usually use? For most flavors I use 1ml per 10 ml. If you want to use 0mg juices, just use whatever amount of flavoring gives you the best flavor. But remember, too much can also be a problem. I generally use TFA. With their apple I use 1.5 ml with < .25 holiday spice for a spiced cider.

I use different percentages, depending on the recipe. This one has about an eight percent total, but I ended up adding to it and making it double flavor.

Nice pics Rave. I saw weiners roasting in the fire and even saw your thumb and you said you were camera shy. The kids are even younger than I thought. No wonder they behave as they do. I'm so glad to see them starting to build. You really really need your house back. Your cat it beautiful? You say he's feral so doesn't that mean you can't pet and hold him? Hope you are feeling better today.

Hi Cindy.... since you use nearly 0 nic maybe you could answer a question for me. I use 12mg base so after adding flavors the mgs are lower. A few days ago I made a small amount with no nic in it at all. Almost no flavor! So I doubled the flavor. Now it's still a weaker flavor than when I make the recipe with nic in the base and it's also sweeter. Is this normal?

I'm just experimenting to see if I get cravings while vaping 0 nic. Just surprised at the lack of flavor and curious about it. The base I'm using is 65pg/35vg.

Dunno. Nic to me has a peppery taste - maybe that was the taste you were missing when you tried 0, not so much flavor in general. When you added more flavoring, it still tasted weaker, because that nic taste was still missing. Flavorings are generally sweet, so add more and you'd notice the sweetness more. Kinda like with cooking: you could be out of a certain spice - you can try subbing something else - sometimes it hits the spot, sometimes it doesn't. I can't do 0 at all, because to me it just tastes flat (like drinking flat soda). I'm at <4 now.

You know what worked for me to step down? Do it real gradually, like -3mg every 2-3 weeks, until you get down to where you wanna be. You won't even notice...haha, 'til you get down to 0!

Living next to a cemetery isn't bad at all. My closest neighbors are all deceased. And VERY quiet. I like it!

Yeah? The ones I lived close to just chattered away and kept me up all night!

Work in progress. I got four posts and four rails done. I set up for the next phase and I got 4 more posts made and sitting in a bucket of oil.

The latest project - the long view.

The close-up.

The milk crates are holding up the boards so I could see if putting a second rail up will be worth the effort and the money. It will be IMHO.

Looking good lizzie. 2nd rail looks much better.

Not just wieners, BRATS! My nephews eat those all the time - the smell drives me NUTS! (vegetarian)

Rave's probably like me: You can take a picture of a limb, a digit, the back of my head...but I HATE the way my face looks in photos. But oddly enough, I've always been pleased with my driver's license pics. Go figure.

Brats are good too especially roasted over a fire which I haven't done in a very long time.

Yep, you are like Rave and like me, only my driver's lic pic is always bad.

Just a couple more days 'til May, Terry - when do you head out to Rave's?

I leave on May 9th. There is only 1 train going her way so I'll be taking the scenic route which will take 3 days. I think I'm going to go bonkers on the train that long especially when I can't vape whenever I want. That's going to be the hardest part plus no showers. YIKE! Plus I don't think I'll be able sleep very well in a chair but I might get luckly and find a padded bench/couch. I'm not sure they have any but I've heard they do.

Second rail makes it look finished, Lizzie, like wow, it's really a homestead now. Without it, it just looked like a work in progress, like it's just framing for something else. Are you gonna paint it?

 

[Renolizzie]

I think I will paint the fence white. Horses see contrast and our theme here is white and green. We also have a lot of natural wood but I think white paint.

Stealth vape, baby wipes and a travel pillow! Sounds like fun. Wish I were going too!

 

[Renolizzie]

Your trip sounds exciting terry.

Stealth for sure and it should be a lot easier at night under my blanket.

Exciting is an understatement. I can't stand the waiting.

Baby wipes will work well in lieu of a shower. I was introduced to the "three-point" personal hygiene method on a long train trip many years ago. Make sure you have plenty of camera power, a lap-top or tablet with plenty of books loaded on to it, and extra food, unless you have the money to feed yourself train-meals, which are quite expensive. Stuff a pillow-case with clothing, because the pillows they issue are useless.

Yes - I definitely need my house back and the privacy. Tez is feral, and still lives outside but we let her in if it's crazy cold. On other nights, she has a snuggly house. It drives her bonkers to stay inside. She's extremely friendly and will probably follow us on walks. I am feeling very well today. The anti-virals must be doing their job. No sign of fever or chills so far today.

Yeah? The ones I lived close to just chattered away and kept me up all night!

Really?! Do tell!! Curious minds want to know!

That's looking really good, Lizzie! Sure wish I had your ambition ...

I can't wait either!
