Well, heck. Ordered three replacement 78 batteries a couple days ago (I wore them out, they were not defective), and tonight I just ordered four new X2's (guess what colors...), and a lanyard and a bottle of liquid. I'm in hoard mode at the moment. I may leave my job after 28 years - all the surgeries and stress in the past 10 have really made my days not so much fun, and I need to have a stash, as I can't collect any kind of retirement for another 4 years, and even then it will be with a 20% penalty for another 6 years after that. Gov't jobs ain't what they used to be, but it was announced today that we will not get a wage increase for the third straight year, but the social security tax is going back up, so my check goes down yet another 2% for net take home. With that and the stress (I worked a solid 10 hours today with no break and ate a sandwich in between phone calls and answering questions from the year old newbies who have no initiative to work it up themselves... well, I smoked a cigarette today after I got home. :( Very first lapse in 6 months since I started vaping. It tasted like hell, but I smoked it. I'm feeling guilty as all get out, I didn't enjoy it, and now I just want to hide away somewhere. I'm so tired.


Always sad to see that. My wife is a teacher and it is pathetic the crap she has to go through. I tell her all the time I could never do her job because the first time a kid said to F off I would through him through the window. She has been cussed out. Threatened by parents and kids alike. I have to keep my mouth shut most of the time. The latest is she found out from another teacher that her new student was expelled from his prior school for bringing a gun to school. I will leave my opinions on that and this wonderful government we have out of this.

Just know most of us will see SS go back to 6.2%. The only people who won't are those government employees that do not pay into SS. I never understood the logic it that reduction anyway. SS is going broke yet.. ahh nevermind. Who knows what will happen on the 31st of December if we make it past the 21st that is. Congress in its almighty wisdom may extend it another 2 months, so we can play partisian politics again. It happened last year.

I hate to say this.. but 2011 is the sunset on the tax cuts. That means if nothing is done all taxes go up. It won't be pretty.

Thanks! Actually - I did chronicle the three weeks that I spent in Alaska. It's punctuated with a whole potload of pictures that go along with what I'm saying. And, it's kinda fun. Wouldn't know where to put it though. Maybe I could plunk the whole thing in as a blog entry? Dunno how the blogs work, but I'll look into it. :unsure:

When all else fails get Cinnamon. Talk about a true vape flavor it HAS to be cinnamon and this is a 10mg sample.Its got everything running but my feet.This is my first time to vape cinnamon and I like it but it will definitely be used just for "bad vape taste days and have its very own cartos and case and be labeled

My back up is either Ecblend Watermelon or RY4 from anyone.

Hi Raynes ..... To be honest I can vap most of my stuff straight but i all ways end up mixing something... its half curiosity and half ill be in a mood to try some thing little bit of something, so very little of my stuff ends up straight for long. some stuff i have tried is too creamy if thats the word ... my be its too rich. Most stuff thats too rich i can add to other stuff or a tobacco and its good. fruits and mints go well to togather too .... sometimes i double vap a taste to get a feel for how stuff will mix...... Vanilla, RY4 and couple of other where to rich but as of now i only have few that are too creamy and they are not from SI. again i love vanilla but i have looked at flavors and lots of a french vanilla .... in real ice cream i love white vanilla beanish ice cream, but i dont like french vanilla much, its too buttery for me.

So far i like all SI's stuff (vanilla, methol ice, all tobacco's.. i still got sweet samplers to try too from Si) i dont like SI's watermelon as much, to me it taste more like watermelon candy to me. Its hard to describe but one is citrus & sweet and and reminds me of fruit i am not sure what the other has to taste different, i have read some people prefer the candyish-jolly rancher-sh water melon, but not me. ... if SI would let us order with more VG i would like that too, but i like there tobaccos alot anyway.

Hmm i got Si cartos still to open: grape, cherry & chocolate .... i am very excited about the chocolate and hope i like it as much as SI's vanilla, which i love now. i got vanilla malt elsewhere and its too creamy for me now. if i likeit ill get some liquids .... i got a ton of e-liquid now, enough to last 3 months and pay for all my hard ware easy, since every day i vap instead of smoke i save about $4, i think i said before i am not super picky tho.

... oh well i got 5 pages of good volty stuff to read so ill quit writing :)

Style, "in stlye", as a guy I could care less about style. It's about what I like and feel comfortable in. I'm still wearing clothes I had as a teenager and, yeah, they still fit with no problem. Give me a pair of comfortable old cutoffs, a t-shirt and sneakers and I'm happy, but it does have to be a pocket t-shirt. How come nobody makes a sleeveless pocket t?

Growing up in the 70's, for me and my sis, money was tight, we where middle class but mom and dad had lots of debts from school .... Mary was VERY attractive and cheerleader and home coming queen & just a nice person ... ... anyway she was in junior high and some cruel girl left her a note in her locker sayin in summary " is that ur only pants suit ... u wear it enough!" Needless to say at that age she was devastated. She was 2 years younger so i told mom just give me a couple of pairs of jeans and a few t-shirts and i am fine. I just wanted her to spend the money on Mary, and girls cloths can be expensive. And thats how i dressed as a teen. shorts in summer, jeans in winter. if i dont go out or to work, thats how i am today. :)

Awwww Kia sorry :( ... sounds like my old job and i know how that .... sux, i got a bad attitude after a while too after years of no raises ... at least u know ur not missing anything since u did not enjoy it... my advice pretend it never happened and move on ... Vaps are so much better. Cheers and i hope today was better for u :) :) :)

I thought I would mention this since you deal with ECBlends. One of my favorite vapes is their Vanilla Malt. I get DXF and when it has steeped, it is awesome. It is harder on my clearos than the fruit flavors I usually vape and I have to clean my clearo after 4 or 5 fills but it is worth it for that rich flavor.
