Heheh why I always went for the camel menthol silvers or crush.. or just menthol that were in the $1 off packs.. I used to get the marlboro menthols in the double packs

I know that I would NEVER had started smoking if it were not for Menthol ! Started with Salem Lights and stuck with it until Basic Came out and were cheaper. Then they got popular and cost more now , so went to Marb Light menthol.
So If I can get a menthol perfect mix , I know I will be happy with that. And if that gets me off analogs 100% , I may then branch out ... but I dont want this to be a hobby. Eventually my Ultimate Goal is to be done with BOTH to Save Money for the Family. But got to do baby steps.

I like cinnabomb.. and fire and ice.. and am liking clove too.. and watermelon!

I love cinnamon, too, which I think cinnabomb must be. What's fire & ice? And how does clove taste? I've been curious, but so many people don't like it that I'm scared to order a bottle. I'd love it if you filled a carto each of these and sent them to me in exchange for 3 cartos of flavors I have that you might be curious about. I have a bunch listed on SI's trade thread, and more steeping that I got from Ms T's. I really want to experiment but not buy a lot of bottles. I'm surprised others don't want to do this.

I was excited because I finally broke down and got a new shelf for my Lazy Susan to replace the one that cracked and gradually fell apart. Today I figured it would make me feel better to install it. Easy task, right? Not so much. The new shelf doesn't fit the axle of my Lazy Susan. I can't figure any way to modify it to make it work either. At over $12 for shipping it makes no sense to return it and they don't have anything to replace it that would work anyhow.

Why can't anything just be ... easy?! I've had it with non-stop challenges. :grr:

I miss my husband ... :(

Greetings to all!
My orange bat came in and it has an orange LED.. What will look better in your opinion? Green or Blue? I seem to like Green better with orange but i also like blue.
Can't decide which led to use.

green...if we're voting, that is my choice.

Greece (Thessaloniki to be exact) beat everyone elses weather conditions today!!!
We had 5 minutes of snow and hail while at the same time the sun was shining and the temperature was around 0!!!
Never seen that before! Everyone was looking at the sky, trying to undestand if that was really snow or something thrown from the balconies!

Is it the axle or the diameter of the plate Rave? If it's diameter, couldn't you just take a jigsaw to it?

There's a metal ?bearing? that holds up the molded plastic shelf and hugs the central axle. It's too small for the axle. The ?bearing? from the old shelf won't fit the new shelf either so I can't swap them out. I could maybe try using a hole saw to increase the size of the housing in the plastic, but it's not a good idea in general for me to use power tools ... and I would probably destroy it. *frustration reigns supreme*

Edited to add: The diameter of the shelf is fine. At least I got that right.

Tell me about it, i work outside all day, on cellphone towers (50-60 meters height) usually on higher grounds. Today we got wet, cold, hail, snow and a LOT of wind. I was screaming to a guy 2 meters in front of me on the tower and we could not even hear our voices. Eventually we used only hand signals lol.
Cold is fine, but cold+wind+rain+snow SUCKS.

Yes, today sucked!!! I woke up coughing and feeling dizzy but decided to go to work after all because I was extremely busy. My poor car's battery died on me (I mean completely died, could not get it to start even with the wires!!!) out of the blue and I had to wait for 2 hours for the roadside assistance to come and pick it up and take it to the workshop. I got frozen! Then there was the snow and the hail and the wind and the fact that I had to pay more than $250.00 for something I didn't expect to happen so I didn't estimate as an expense :(

Please remind me at the 29th of February in 4 years (if we are still here) to stay at home, in bed and not to go out!!!

And here I was griping about $12 return shipping...

That sounds like you're having a terrible day Fani. I'm sooo sorry. :( I'm thinkin' that it has got to be due to The Leap Year Jinx as well.

Good Morning Guys & Gals. I will be ordering my 1st Volt Cartos Today instead of waiting till the 9th.
I am using my Friday Night "Out to eat dinner money" for the next 2 weeks. ( we get $5 each on friday nights to eat out and usually I get a Frap from Starbucks ) , so I am getting the smooth sampler ordered today.
Aw, that's quite a commitment there, Jay.
Tell ya what - I get Starbuckets Frap e-liquid once in awhile..next time I do, I'll send you a little to try. Then it could be date nite any nite! Do you like the caramel one? :)

Word of warning though: with the V2 batts, these cartos may taste burnt for the first few hits, then become OK once the batt starts tapering off. No danger to the carto, just a little annoying sometimes....that's why my old batts are in a drawer now! :p

Fire and Ice is a combo of cinnabomb and one of their menthols. Clove doesn't taste like a clove cig.. it's got some good taste, just not the clove I'm used to smoking hehe. These have been steeping a couple weeks.. the cinnamon and menthol didn't really need too much time.. especially the cinnabomb as I had a few drops left from the small bottle so I just added it to the big one (supposedly quickens steeping time).

I love cinnamon, too, which I think cinnabomb must be. What's fire & ice? And how does clove taste? I've been curious, but so many people don't like it that I'm scared to order a bottle. I'd love it if you filled a carto each of these and sent them to me in exchange for 3 cartos of flavors I have that you might be curious about. I have a bunch listed on SI's trade thread, and more steeping that I got from Ms T's. I really want to experiment but not buy a lot of bottles. I'm surprised others don't want to do this.
