LOL, I'm working my way there,,,,,,,,every time I order 40 cartos for the month, I take six or 8 or whatever and put them away,,,,,,I don't use any if I don't have to, and then I order more the next month and stash a few more away LOL

so who wants a funny story? I swear, I'm not blonde, though I've been asked for proof on occasion,,,,,

I got my new Keurig for Christmas, and of course, I wanted to have a nice hot cup of tea brewed just for me while reading my new kindle,,,,,and vaping Juicy peach,,,,I mean who wouldn't??

I had ONE tea pod that came in the variety pack I got,,,,,,and of course, I wanted more than that,,,,,,tea is good for colds.

so there I sat with empty pods, trying to figure out how to stuff a tea bag inside and reuse the empty ones,,,,,,,I tried stuffing them inside as is,,,,,,I tried emptying the loose tea into the pod,,,,,,,,nothing, water went everywhere,,,,,,,,

Dh is just watching me,,,,,,,,

then he walks over, takes the pod out of my hands, slaps a tea bag in the cup, sticks it under the water spout and starts the keurig without a pod inside.

yep. leave it to me to make something more complicated than it has to be.

LOL!!! That is funny! :laugh: but I probably would have done the same thing.

I've seen the Keurig in stores and I wondered what you would do if you ran out of pods! Duh! Just put instant coffee or teabag right in the cup!

You're not alone :)

I'm sticking to the good, old-fashioned batteries with cartos. They are simple and have few problems. All I hear of the new stuff is complications. I don't need them. When they get an improved vape with no fussing, and many people have tried it and had success, then I might try something else.

I understand why you feel this way. After trying different juice delivery systems, I have gone back to cartos when I go out because they are sturdier and the stainless looks really good on the X2's with the cone and also the liquid is not visible. For some reason, it makes my family uncomfortable to see the liquid... :confused: For home, after using the T3 for a while, I prefer the clearo. Have not had any leaks with them, smaller tips that are interchangeable and the flavor and vapor is great.

Being 3 months into vaping, I wanted to try everything... even adding a couple of ego twists to try variable voltage... but I always seem to pick up my X2/clearo combination the most and enjoy the best.

Deb, one more question. Did you try to use the dud batteries as a pass through device?

when the 13oo arrive early last mth...it wouldn't vape from the start unless cap was off...it worked ok on pass through...but seeing it had the cap issue...I only use it as pass through a couple of times...after about 2 or 3 wks.....it wasn't holding charge for to long...so I was only charging it every 3 or 4 days....then 2 days ago...I charged it...after 2 hrs light went off...I went to vape it...nothing....I changed cords...thinking that would help....nothing I tried on pass through...nothing...I blew through it..still nothing...no lights on....its a dead bat.....

I must be scrooge personafied, been vaping cartos since October and have yet to open my new pack of 5 :facepalm:

I clean mine weekly with vodka, then boil for 15 min, stuff them with paper towels and let dry overnight. Refill in the AM and I am back to normal. I am going to try to set the world record for use of a carto :laugh:

In that same light of being a scrooge, I wasted a lot of time and money on DIY. Only one flavor Double RY4 tastes good enough to mix and vape. The rest taste like something out of Rayne's horse stall. I hope some of you are doing better with DIY than me. Let me know OK!

Good morning, Volties. Cafe Verona and homemade bread available for mass consumption.

I'm a hoarder, too. I just ordered another battery with my xmas money and 10 replacement heads for the T-3's.

Then I ordered pg/vg/nic solution because I only have like three onths worth already here in the house:)

Not to mention the multiple bottles is all strengths of SI Ry4, Country, Freedom and 555 plus Cherry, Menthol and Watermelon.

Gotta go feed the animals and get out the door to clean a house. It is pretty chilly this morning with a low of 16 degrees. Brrr.

Hubby will have 5 days off in a row starting tomorrow. I hope he plans to get a few projects done around here:)

Hellooooo Debra in Oz,

I see we both changed our Avatars :laugh: I guess I need to jump out of your hat now.:facepalm:

I just can't believe you have had soooooo much trouble with batteries. I am using my passthrough more and hope it will not affect how long my X2 900s last. As I said before, when one of my X2s dies, I am going to take it appart and try a box mod, and buy a VAMO and some 18650 batteries. Hope you had a Merry Christmas over there. As always best wishes.
