Condoms, .... plugs, and white mouthpieces

[KrisBKream]

Am I the only hoarder of these horridly inappropriately named things?

To be honest, if V4L sold packs of just these, I would buy them. I never throw them out with the cartos, but I still always feel like I'm going to run out. I misplace lots of them, can't deny that. I even have them separated and organized in my craft box. Wow condoms, cool cart comdoms with one compartment for each differently shaped end, .... plugs, and mouthpieces with one for the plain kind and one for the kind I like with the circular cutout that catches the juice.

So... anyone else obsessive about these things too? And if not... feel like shipping a bunch of disposable rubber choking hazards?

Whoa, Ctrl-V makes spam emotes way to easy...

 

[plantlvr]

LOL! i save them too, but usually in a bowl all mixed together. When it gets too full I toss the lot and start all over again

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

hahaha me too and they are all over my car from dropping them and sometimes in my purse with loose change lmao

 

[Morandir835]

You're not alone KrisBKream sir, have a drawer full of them...

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

Agreed! Whenever one of my boys starts to bat around my battery, I simply bounce one of those condoms in front of him and he is totally off to the races!! They're much more fun than the long skinny thing that just rolls . . . (Silly bugger. He's 17 years old, still acts like he's 7 months old! )

Here's a picture that looks almost exactly like him (the tabby on top):

(Ooops . . . Sorry for dragging this thread waaaaay OT . . . )

LOL... I keep all mine too. You'll see me soon on a special episode of "Vaping Hoarders".
(You just never know when things are going to change and you may not like the changes.)

@Eleanor... adorable kitty!

 

[Whistles]

yeah it seems they have congregated in all of my cup holders between the couch and and car... Just found some in my pocket too... so those made it through the laundry

LOL, what a headline!!!

Sounded like a adult super store advertisment

 

[KTaylor]

Aarrgh, Noooooooooooooo! One of our cats, the smart one, used to love playing with yellow foam ear plugs. He loved them and we loved watching him bat them down the stairs then pick them up in his mouth and do it again. Until he had to be operated on for a blockage - you guessed - earplug, amongst other bits of fabric & ribbon. Now we have to be scrupulous about anything he might eat (his favourite is lycra fabric though )
Our other cat is really dumb (though stunningly beautiful), so we can't take the risk. I am paranoid about my plastic bits, if I drop anything I have to find it immediately.

Yeah..know what you mean, but I'm a little OCD so I have the ziplock baggies - each type of item grouped together in one. I look at the stack and wonder what the heck I save them for

 

[Paddrino]

I about laughed off my chair when I saw this topic! Hahah good stuff. I suppose when you start talking about all this stuff together it might make it look like you are talking about something completely different!! Haha.

When I first started I saved every single thing...even empty bottles and carto boxes. But after 6 months I came to the conclusion that I have no need for Coned or Nubbed Condoms. I keep around 2 dozen or so .... Plug (refilling) and plain Condoms (reverse spinning during the winter), along with Mouth piece caps, everything else I just toss. I also used to fill 5 or 10 Cartos of each flavor to use through the week when I first started. To simplify things now I vape 1 Carto for a single flavor and vape that Carto until it is time to toss it.

After my first 4 months or so of vaping I had a giant bag of used Cartos which inevitably had some burnt or bad ones in it. The only problem is I didn't know which ones were bad until after I cleaned and refilled them with Juice and they started leaking. Which meant I had to spin them back out and clean off my battery connector which became frustrating after a while. I just gave the bulk of that giant bag to a friend of mine 2 days ago who needed some CC blanks.....he got about 120 of them.

Humph. Not smart enough, evidently. My tabby knows better than to ever put anything called a condom or a ....-plug in his mouth!

Seriously though, I am so sorry for your kitty's trauma (and yours!) -- furbaby surgery just sux.

My hoarding is controlled. I use empty prescription bottles. Enough spare condoms to fill a jumbo one, enough white mouthpieces to fill a regular size one, and I have a plastic film container for the .... plugs. No overflow allowed. They are labeled with Brother P-Touch tape, of course. OCD at its best.

 

[ithinkbutn2m]

I just started vaping but I already have a nice collection

 

[the_vape_nerd]

I've found another use for the condoms recently. I bought another device which uses a 510 connection but I'm still heavily vaping my v4l cartos and plan to continue since I like their flavors a lot. You can get an adapter you to go from 510 to 808 but the problem there is sometimes it is difficult to hold the adapter in place and screw off your carto. But I found if you just put a condom on the adapter, the rubber there gives you a perfect resistance and allows you to screw your carto off pretty effortlessly.

I keep mine in those square plastic Gerber baby food containers. They hold enough so you won't feel like you'll run out & since they are clear you can see what's in each. I also put a small label on them with my own shorthand so I know what's in each one(I'm confused about so many things why not make stuff easy if ya can? ) You can get these from anyone with a child still eating baby food.....for FREE!
