Good Morning Volties! Boy it's nice starting the day ROTFLOL !!!!! :lol: Soooo funny Wabbit!! :laugh:

I think people who choose to live in unsanitary conditions just don't care about their surroundings.. I've seen several episodes of the tv program "Hoarders" and some clients... even after a cleaning team goes in and totally clean their houses... revert right back to those same unsanitary conditions. It seems that their cats or dogs can go where ever they choose and the residents just turn a blind eye to it.

As far as vaping equipment is concerned. The largest "tank" that I have is the VapeOnly BCC that holds 3.5ml liquid... which lasts me a couple of days. Another great feature is the flat tip. I use a sleeve with it for more stability and a neater look on my ego's and spinners.

The mini T3 is another great option because of the smaller capacity and size. It doesn't gurgle like the larger T3... not sure why and no leaking on refills. The Evod holds 2.5ml with the same great flavor but not as airy as the T3. The downside for the Evod... harder to view the juice level.

I'm taking notes now on all of your opinions about the best tanks to get so that I'll be ready when I make the move to one of the big boys.

That is called programmed obsolescense and it's 1) made to break, 2)cheap materials or poor quality. All for the cost. If you got the good refridgerator would cost 4 times more.

I had a top of the line household refrigerator that lasted 4 years. When it broke, the parts and labor cost more than buying an average size. Knocking on wood, my current middle of the road fridge has lasted 6 years so far.

I clean 4 houses on a regular basis now.

I used to do one time jobs and some semi-regulars that were, indeed, like that program "Hoarders" :) After several jobs like that I told Hubby I am just getting too grossed out and too old to be doing these kind of jobs and I now will not do any house where the people do not live like civilized human beings.

Oh Lizzie, I know how you feel. I used to work in Code Enforcement and I have seen plenty of houses that look like that. Usually it's an older person in the cases I've seen. One case I had was a lady that had rats the size of cats living in her house. She called them pets! Thankfully, we got Adult Protective Services involved and she was moved into an assisted living facility. The house had to be gutted and fumigated. It finally sold after a year or so.

I have the BCC and like it. It does look like it was made for my Evic. I'm also using the 510 dual carto tanks from AltSmoke, and Vision Vivi's. All three are working like a champ.

Perhaps she needs to teach the cat to use the toliet: cat ...... in toilet - YouTube

I didn't think you could teach this. We had a very smart Siamese (not the one who peed in shoes -- but he only did that to send a message, not habitually) who did it, but I don't think anyone trained him. But see I TRAINED MY CAT TO POOP IN THE TOILET!! - YouTube Apparently there's some sort of system for it. Now to go read up on that.

A funny thing about that cat using the toilet was, once we had some guests visiting, and one lady went to use the bathroom and there was the cat using the toilet. She said, "Oh! Excuse me!" and backed out of the bathroom, just as if she had walked in on a human.

That's just icky and I gave it an OOOO ICCKKK sort of a chuckle. Couldn't give you like for that comment:)

OK, I apologize, that was a sick joke, how about this one?

Just before the funeral service, undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and ask, "How old was your husband?"

98 years old she replied....two years older than me.

So you're 96?, the undertaker commented

Yes, she responded, "Hardly worth going home is it?

There is a kit you can buy that fits on the toilet. It's like a mini cat box that you adjust every so often until the cat can go to the bathroom without using the kit. I've seen infomercials on TV a few years ago about them.

Rabbit - good one! ;)

Yes, I just looked at their site. What I wonder is, if you have litter around the edges, doesn't some inevitably spill into the toilet? How is that for the plumbing? Or do you use some sort of flushable litter?

I don't know the specifics as I don't have cats. I think the first step covers the entire toilet so no litter will go in. Once the cat gets used to that, I think the litter is picked up and the hole gets bigger for the second step and then again for the third, if it goes that far. I'm sorry, I'm going by memory on something I saw awhile back.

This is the tank I got. You can order it with a fill hole, and pyrex. Hence easier to fill.

Pro-V Cartomator SS - Vaperfexion


Just coming out from lurking - to give an FYI for another option that people might find interesting enough to check out, especially since they are very reasonable, easy to use, and there are quite a variety to choose from too . . .

Yes, that's the impression I got, but when they open the middle hole, there seemed to still be litter around the edges. You open increasingly wider holes till you can remove it completely. That's the idea I got. It wouldn't work with my cat, though, since he prefers to go outside instead of use the litter box. I think it sounds like a good idea for cats who are totally indoor cats, though.

Thanks Uncle, we haven't heard from you in quite awhile, or maybe I missed a quote or two. What I have yet to figure out is why the tak I purchased from Mom and Pop vapors causes my cartos to flood. The tank does not leak, and the cartos work fine in my home made tanks, but when I put them into the purchased tank, the cartos flood. This happens whether I leave the plug in the side or take it out. It is not the cartos or how they are slotted. One is slotted small and one large and both work great on my "ugly tanks". The only thing I can imagine is that the little plug screw is not air tight and air is getting in through the little plug hole somehow. That would cause flooding.

Honestly - I couldn't tell "You" anything about the tanks you got from "Mom & Pops" ("pwyll" could though) since I have not tried theirs . . . However, I do know there are a number of videos also that show you what you need to do to avoid leaks . . .Also, from what I understand there are some tanks that are better then others . . . Thankfully, I found the ones from VVV and have not had a problem . . . I have not tried a SI Carto in them yet, but I am planning to soon so that I can use them on all "My" SI Stuff without using an adaptor . . . :D

Hi, Uncle. Don't make yourself such a stranger.

HEY - Who you calling' stranger . . ."Strange" YES - but not a stranger . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyway, as I mentioned before I'm still around . . . I just don't have much to add to all the wonderful stories and conversations about horses/pets etc. . . . . AND without a doubt cannot say anything that would compare to all the technical talk by "our" own "Kon" and "awsume" . . . So I check-in every now and then to see what's up and post when I think I can add soemthing usefull . . . Oh - BTW, I've stolen a number of "Your" georgous photos to use as wallpapers and even shared them with a couple of friends who wanted them too . . .:D

Their tanks are a good price. I have them in my bookmarks under ecigs -shopping. Someone else liked their tanks as well. Next month I will have to try some. Only 12 days until the next payday and then, shop til I drop:) Okay, until I have spent a reasonable amount of money.

I just answered my own questions after cogitating on it with you Uncle

If my cartos did not leak with my home made tanks but did with the purchased one, it had to be the tank. The only source of air was the little plug. I covered it with my thumb and tried to suck air out of the tank. I had a good vacuum. With the plug in I could not form a vacuum. So I cut up one of the little "condoms" that come on the cartos, cut a very small hole in the center and used it as a washer around the plug screw. Now I had a vacuum. I slotted a new carto, put it in the tank, filled it 1/2 full and replaced the plug along with the washer and No flooding, no leaks.

Evidently the hole is too big or the plug is too small, but with a little washer it seals fine. Problem solved

Well, I am trying to make bread again today. We shall see how this goes. I told Hubby I thought our yeast was old and tired so I bought some new yeast. You can buy the giant brick of granular yeast for the same price as two of the little three packs. Our "brick" was about 2 years old.

Oh my, looks like it is rising fast. Yeah!!!!! I told Hubby there couldn't possibly anything wrong with Betty Crocker's recipe. She is perfection and I have used this cookbook since I was 11 years old.
