Yeah for your headache being gone, Tina.

As for the housecleaning, I have been cleaning two homes a week and neither of them are mine so my house could look a lot better. I did manage to pick up and vacuum a couple of days ago and I am keeping up on the laundry and the kitchen but the rest of needs a good dusting and polish.

Looks like my horse clinic was canceled for this weekend. Honestly, I have so much to do around the property that I don't really mind. I am hampered by the fact that I backed over the wheelbarrow that was in the middle of the back driveway. No mixing cement until Hubby gets the wheelbarrow situation fixed. He bought two new handles when we went shopping yesterday. Let's hope this wheelbarrow project gets finished in the next two days so I can get the concrete done. He thinks he can take two wheelbarrows and make them into one good wheelbarrow or some such.

Have a great day, Volties.

PS-Love the reptle photos, Reptlr.

Hi Everyone . . .

This discussion was originally started over in the "Brand NEW Exclusive" Thread - since the conversation has changed a little, I am moving it over to here so it would not interfer with what was going there, especially since it is more "Chit Chat":

Well "Proudlion" - Yes, we are in the same position, because that's only one of the reasons I haven't been posting as much lately anywhere . . . Besides just "lurking" and reading everyones post here on the Smokeless Image Sub-forum for the past few months about the problems they have encountered with some of the equipment they have - I've seen so many videos and gotten so frustrated about what to use, especially given all I have to do with the different pieces of "equipment" to fill, clean, maintain (as everyone has to do, unless they have the money to just throw away stuff after a single use) . . . AND - on top of that I am still haven't found any "nicquid" that I do not HAVE to modify/mix . . . I've gotten EVERYTHING I thought I would need, GESS DO I HAVE EQUIPMENT ! ! ! (Some things I haven't even opened/used yet either) . . . I've gotten so tired cleaning the cartomizers after trying different "nicquids" I started testing them using a "Drip Tip," which resulted in getting "nicotine" poisoning . . . However, I am not as lucky as you have been, I am so frustrated and have so much anxiety about "stuff" that I am back to where I started over a year ago - worse yet I am back to "smoking" 3 PAD full-time now :facepalm: (Okay before anyone says anything . . . Yea - Yea - I Know - I Know, "smoking" is not good for you - if I can do it, you can do it . . . ;) I wish it was that easy for "Me", but it is NOT ! ! ! :D)

Now don't get "Me" wrong here - I think and believe Smokeless Image and the VOLT are the best way (and have the best equipment there is out there, especially for people like "Me" who prefer using something similar to an "analog") for me to make this "Transition into the vaping World", especially to either cut back again and hopefully quite one day . . . But unless this gets a little simpler and as easy as just picking up an "analog" is (as an example: Go to store - see choices Kings/100's; Filtered/Non-Filtered, & Regular/Menthol - purchase analogs) - I do not know what I will be doing yet . . . And - although I am determined to at least try to quite again - I am going to wait to see what happens with these (or might get the CE3's) and now only watch the instructional videos from "Mroutlaw" or "SteelJan" . . . Matter of fact, I am hoping to someday get together with "Mroutlaw" (since we live near each other) for some "one-on-one" assistance/training, that is if we can find time to meet ("Mroutlaw" another PM coming your way soon). SO, I'll see what happens . . .


Uncle, I am SOOOOOOOO with you on this! T2, V2, M3, C3, CE4, old/new version, "(fill in the blank)omizer", top/bottom coil, etc ... I've somewhat dropped out of the threads here because every vendor has a "unique" name for their products, yet many differently named items appear to be the same as others. I will NOT resume cigarettes, but I'm sticking with hardware with which I am already familiar. Even the well intended various user videos are often less than helpful as they frequently run 9 to 14 minutes each and one has to endure so much "intro" music and moving graphics before the reviewer even begins to approach the stated "topic".

OMGosh! She's got to have photographic memory (w/ film loaded)! You have so beautifully and succinctly covered all the bases!
- I added a pic of the new guy (Sully - short for Sultan) in the horse album - I'll be happy to see a little gleam in his coat - yuck! He needs a bath! Horses are like potato chips - you can't just have a couple. Spied 3 more in the latest new bunch ...

Got in 5 hours work this afternoon / evening ... could have finished but the guy in charge didn't have something done on his end so it will probably take a little longer (more vape $) to finish tomorrow than it would have tonight! Who would have thot "buying" a horse would make me forget about earning the moolah to pay for him! sheesh! :oops:

21 minutes til midnight ... wonder if they are close to being in stock yet ????? :D

LOL thanks for the compliment Kico but its just my Aricept kicking in. (Truth is I just missed you guys) When you can, you might want to have Sultan's teeth checked and see if they need floating and see if he as any dog teeth. Just a suggestion especially if you plan on riding him that would sure save a lot of head tossing as they do hurt if the bit bangs into them.

Uncle, while I don't actually share your frustration in this particular instance, I totally understand what you're saying.

There are "almost" too many options, and when you are a noob coming to these forums for the first time (speaking of me a few months back, not you), looking for some info, well you can get overwhelmed. Looking for something simple, reading a post from someone asking for something simple, only to read answers such as "You need the ZXT3400 0-1000mav 250v twist with digital meter super nitro battery with 3 10ml 24mg Zicon tanks that you modify with holes and duct tape to strap to the adapter threads......."

I have an addictive personality, otherwise how would I start with a couple guppies to eat mosquitoes in a little pond out front, and end up with 17 aquariums spread around the house. Only reason I don't have more....no more viable flat surfaces.

I purposely decided to pick one supplier...which ended up being SI. The customer service person I dealt with initially recommended X2 batteries so I ordered 2 900mah manuals. Been happy with them. Don't even want to know about others. Did recently order a chrome 78 auto which I enjoy, and actually creates a smoother vape with some flavors.

I am just waiting for these new tank systems. I am down to 2 clearomizers - pre CE2's even. Also, have about 2-3 working CE3's left from 2 packs.

Scary thing, I am seriously considering doing some DIY juice mixing, but since my favorite flavor is red hot cinnamon / menthol that shouldn't be too hard to mix.

So, I feel for you. Maybe, pick one system, put everything else out of sight, and just try to stick with that. I hope you do find something you like.

Hi Uncle,
I can relate to the smoking to part. Its OK. Its OK to be frustrated to. When I can't taste the tobacco in my vapes I get depressed and angry guess we all do. Guess what it comes down to you can have the most high tech equipment,cartos whatever but if they can't satisfy that craving then what good is it?
Personally for me give me the Volts,the X2's and basic carts.
I'm not a smart person,not smart enough to be a DIY for fear of nicotine poisoning. Rave has the experience and a lot of others but being a noobie no way would I try it.
I've watched some of the videos and I have to ask myself is all that vape really important? My analogs didn't put out that much smoke. Its fine if that's what a person wants,not knocking it.
I'm finding out that vaping is a personal thing,I wanted something as close to a cigarette as I could get,the look and the feel,more importantly the taste.
Uncle,you have helped so many here including myself I hate that you are getting frustrated,more so I wish that I knew what to say or how to help.
