I love that pic! Thank you.

I have copied it and added it to my Tiger library. As you may have guessed, I've spent a lot of hours around the net, especially on Google images, collecting these.

Awwww! Precious! You mean it's for Moontiger

Thanks to you, too, JoAnn. Most people wouldn't have remembered that. I am Moontiger on other forums. But that username was already taken when I joined ECF.

Mid vape, half way through the tank and "boom", started leaking all over the place.

I feel for ya ... mine wasn't leaking, but the bottom coil on my 1st one was just a dud. Too airy even after plugging all 3 holes, yes, I said all 3 holes. That air had to be coming from somewhere, but I never figured it out. It worked okay when I put a new replacement head on it, though. After using my 2 T-3s for 3 days, I have now put them aside. I still prefer the X2 clearos on my X2 batteries. I do see a vv battery in my future for those T-3s. Maybe as soon as I get paid again.

Formally Known as Chief Packabowl!!!!!!!!! Just got my user name changed. FYI

Hey Chief ... er Dragon Guy ... er Dova ... er Dovahkiin. Nice username change! but please forgive us if we continue to call you Chief, okay?

It's cold and wet here. I'm still in my PJ's but have been busy this morning/early afternoon. Had to update our club's website, and did some laundry. Got to get into the kitchen now and make a nice bean vegetable soup. That way, I can eat leftovers for the rest of the week!

Whisper dog is ensconced in her blankets sleeping blissfully! Sometimes I wish I was a spoiled little dog! But, I don't think I'd fancy having to use the bathroom outside when it's cold and raining!

My little Sadie is scared to death of snow and ice. So during the winter I frequently have to get dressed and carry her down the back steps to go do her business.

So who's really the smarter one ... me or her ??

Your so right Lizzie. I'm one of those who like strong liquids and the more nic the better, I'd probably over dose myself with nic if I DIY.
Sad but true.My job is really stressful right now. It won't last,but like last night I was choked by a patient. I'm OK. Neck is sore and the poor lady couldn't help she was hallucinating. The voices were telling her to kill me as I was going to hurt her. I've had to go to the hospital three times already to reassure her I was fine.
My neck is bruised pretty bad and my trach is sore but I'm Ok. Ronnie is throwing a fit and wanting me to resign but I just can't do it.

Raynes, I am so sorry you got hurt. Hope you recover quickly. You were an angel to make sure that patient didn't get arrested.

I totally blew my resolve and ordered the blemished silver Provari, the Vivi Nova tankey thingeys and some batteries and a charger and a couple of adapters

I had to do it. Penny Poo Poo made me.

I need to let my bank account cool off for awhile. But I do have my heart set on a vv battery. It's okay, I'll say Sadie made me do it.

Awww Lizzie, I totally understand! Mac is forcing me to look at all kinds of tanks and batteries of every shape and size, I'm helpless! Seems like 'he' is getting so bad that 'he' feels let down when he is not expecting something from the mailman. Can't wait to hear how you like your new 'stuff'!

Our routes got changed. We used to get mail in the morning; now it's anywhere between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. The incessant waiting has turned me into a crybaby.

yes ill pray for both of you ....sorry this brings to my eyes...its very raw for me to talk about,,,since getting ptss...my heart bleeds for all the wonderful people out there that care for ...these poor souls....I wasn't strong enough...to continue....my nerves shut down...its a never ending battle..to find the tools to get over some days...of past wounds....but im finding the tools to help....must leave it there..

I understand, Debra. There are abuses in my past that I cannot talk about here ... wrong forum for that ... but I feel blessed to have the company of so many wonderful folks here in this thread.

Vivi Nova Tankey Thingeys ?View attachment 166866

And Penny Poo Poo is talking to Me Too Me Too

Gosh I love this forum

Poor Penny Poo Poo being blamed too much ... so I'll just say Sadie made me do it.

I keep trying to get the "WOW" out of my T3/X2 manual combo but... for me the X2 auto/clearo with flat tip is IT!! It really gives me what I look for. Thank goodness for variety... Even my ego twist has taken a back seat. I really hope they don't discontinue the clearo's. I've just ordered several more. Maybe I'm just plain weird.

JoAnn, I still love the clearos, at least on my 650 & 900 X2 batteries. For me, they have the best flavor, TH, & vapor (at least until they start leaking). The T-3s are being put away until I can get a vv battery.

What a great group! I've so enjoyed the humor catching up?.? How many pages? 20+ (snipped)

I had a goofy day. 5 of us tearing down Friday's pour & getting the last section of rebar & forms set up for tomorrow. I reached into my jacket (under a sweatshirt & vest & bibs for my X2 w/ clearo on a lanyard a couple times. Decided to keep it just under my jacket. Later found the end cap missing. OK - not the end of the world. The next time I reached for it, LOL, just the clearo was there! Took a few minutes but I found the battery! Fortunately I have a spare cap. Better yet - We were done before turning into ice cubes! The past 2-3 days a nip of brandy has been just the ticket to get the chill out of the bones!

Hey Kiko, good to see you here. Glad you found your battery. My, how we become attached to those things so quickly. Hope it warms up -- construction projects in the freezing cold is just not my idea of a good time. but the brandy sounds nice.

Here's another photo. This isn't a snow scene, but a sunset scene. To me, it looks like the sky is on fire, the way the clouds are shaped and lit up. It was taken on the local golf course, which in winter, when no one's playing golf, is a great place to walk. Some people even cross-country ski and snowshoe there when there's snow on the ground.

Sandy, you share the most awesome pictures with us. Thank you so much. (And please keep 'em coming.)

 

[Renolizzie]

Good job catching up, Moonstruck.

SandySu - Nice that you can reach forwards. You are making progress!

Raven - good to see you here. How's our guy, Blues, doing?

Raynes - I'm glad you are able to help people like that lady.

Penny Poo Poo is tough. She can shoulder a lot of blame. Then there's the fact that she doesn't understand English -she is fluent in Corgi speak - so she hasn't got a clue what we are saying

 

[JoAnnW]

It seems a lot of you like the photos I've taken. Soon, I'll be back at it again, though I've had a hiatus since my arm was injured. But good news! Yesterday I tried playing my video games, and now I can reach forward to move the mouse. Up till now, I've been using my laptop, which has a touch pad, so no reaching forward. Anyway, here's another picture for no particular reason.

I noticed that tree fell over just so you could get that incredible shot of the moon

 

[JoAnnW]

Sandy? What was the background of the grass?? How in the world did you do that? Very clever and beautiful!

As for the second picture... the one thing that comes to my mind is.... please keep ALL that snow and ice up there in New York!

I had the camera set to macro with a zoom lens, which focused really tightly on the grass and made the background really blurry. There was sky and trees in the background, but the bare branches just made a sort of swirl. Neat, huh?

 

[SandySu]

Here's another sunset photo taken at the golf course. Not such spectacular clouds, but I liked the Canada geese flying home from a day of foraging.

 

[JoAnnW]

SandySu. Those clouds look spectacular to me. Another great one!!

 

[White Rabbit]

Glad everyone is enjoying their hobbies, SandySu your pictures are just wonderful. I just wonder when SI will finally get a delivery device that is 100%, no runs, no drips, full flavor and small tips.

The weather hear on DelMarVa is just wonderful and this weekend it is supposed to be in the high 60s. I know it will not last but while it is fall like weather I am enjoying it. I received refills on my favorite juices today from EC Blends and I always order 12 Nic and extra flavor, then I dilute it with an equal amount of my DIY 50/50 at 6 Nic to stretch out my purchase. I then get 50% more. So far it has worked out OK and the taste is great. I also can make DIY RY4 and mix that with purchased RY4. Mine lacks just something I can't figure out, but when mixed with EC Blends RY4 it turns out fine.

Any quick recepies for Wizard Labs flavors would be appreciated.

Raven - good to see you here. How's our guy, Blues, doing?

He's tired. It may be a long recovery.

Those geese couldn't have been placed more perfectly.

 

[Tail11]

Sandy, what wonderful photos! You have a keen eye to capture the moment. Please keep sharing them and thank you!

 

[kico166]

You don't have a X2 battery? From the picture of the kgo, they are similar, but from the reviews, the SI Volt X2 outperforms them... more power, longer life etc. If you don't have a X2, you'll have to get one.

Since going to the X2 my stash of 78's hardly see daylight! Great to loan out w/ a box of samples to interested friends! Hope to get a set back pretty soon to loan to another. May have to give her the 'puter charger!

no your not weird...I like the x2 clearos also...and if they didn't leak...I would buy more . ..

You said it! That set up is great when out & about!

Love the avatar with your horse. So pretty.

Concrete work at this time of the year? I hope you are almost done with that, you hard working girl you!!!!

Glad you found your batt.

Nice to see you Kico. Enjoy that brandy. Helps with sore muscles, too.

LOL. & Thanks! Poured the last section! YIPEEE! Of course I'll be happily broke 10 seconds after getting paid! Horses come first! After working in - 20 below wind chill over the holidays we are enjoying an early Jan warm up this week! I won't miss the stinky diesel fumes from the knipco heaters! After 30+ years of smoking you'd think my nose could take it!

Depending on a lot of things, whatever selenium is in mineral salt blocks and horse feed might still be insufficient. A good way to find out if your horse is getting enough selenium is to get a blood test. Also remember that there has to be sufficient vitamin E for the selenium to be properly absorbed. If your horse needs more than he's getting, there are scads of selenium and vitamin E supplements for sale. Just be careful to only give him what he needs, though. With selenium, more is not better. There's a fairly narrow range of what a horse needs and what is a toxic dose.

I'm on a roll. Posting the photos lately made me think that I really should get out there with my camera. So I took a short walk around the neighborhood. Nothing too interesting to photograph, but I'll share a couple I took today.

I've always liked the fuzzy look of these ornamental grasses people have in their yards. For some reason, I've never really captured what I see in their details, and this doesn't, really, either, but I liked the way the background came out. Sometimes you don't know what a picture will look like till you download it into the computer.

Just for fun, I thought I'd show you all the icicles on our house. It's been warm (well, above freezing in midday, anyway) lately, and the snow on the roof has been melting like mad. That, in fact, was what inspired me to take a walk today -- it wasn't forbiddingly cold.

OMGOSH! Love all your pics, SandySu! The melted area! (house) Almost looks like an Angel (sideways) or a Dove's shadow flying over!
Thanks also for the info on the nutrition!
I too have fallen away from the camera. Have some from a couple years ago when we had lots of snow. Miss the 'puter when here! But keeps me quieter!

aww...I liked calling you chief....

You still can!!!!! We all will know who you are talking too

And me for helping

 

[Dovahkiin]

Deb, he said we can still call him Chief. I'm glad about that. You should go over to the username and avatar thread and give your reason for choosing your username and avatars too.

All ready did. I put it as a short term of what Dovahkiin means. Rabbit did the long version!!!!!!!!!

Not even almost, JoAnn. I, too, like the clearo's best, so far. If the T3 can demonstrate that it does not leak, it'll run a close second. (So far, so good on that.) I'm considering getting a manual 900 to use with a T3, but it would have to be a strictly "stay-at-home" set-up. That's just tooooo big to carry around in public, for me. I do prefer not to stand out; and a 650 w/clearo is about as noticeable as I want to get.

I carry my X2/T3 with me. I tell people it's my pacifier!

For me that is about to change. I use to take out the 78's. Now I taking out the X2. I am already thinking of taking out the Provari.
Maybe later you will fell comfortable taking a bigger battery out and not think about what others feel. To me it is what you are comfortable with. Don't let anybody tell you different.

Yeah, a binky/nookie!

Has anyone else noticed a change in their nicotine habit : vaping vs analog?
In some ways I feel much more relaxed about it. Going to a restricted use area (work /stores) I'd be busy getting 4-6 cigs smoked (mornings) before clocking in. Then it seemed like forever til break. With vaping, I've found up to 6 hours have gone by w/o even a thought to 'get some nicotine'. Yet at home - chain vaping half the evening if hands are free. Just curious.

For me it was smoking two or three cigs before getting to work and as for the day I was a two pack a day smoker. Then when I got my
Starter kit, was not vaping as much. Then I started cutting down the Nic level to 12. I believe my vaping habbits have not changed. Later
I will cut the nic level to 6 and see. But I am comfortable with the 12 nic level for now.
