It was getting hot and I was getting a little bit frantic. Pulled it apart and still couldn't turn it off. Finally took it out in the backyard and buried it. Couldn't think of anything else to do and didn't want it exploding in the house. What SHOULD I have done? :unsure:

I think you Did Exactly what your Should have Done.

You got it Outside and Someplace that it Can't Catch something Else on Fire. Or Release Toxic Fumes in your House.

Sounds scary I think you did the best thing. Egos suck. Whether it's a knockoff or not

I still recommend Variable Voltage eGo style batteries for people who are new to vaping, but want to get into the game with a low cost of entry. I have two, mostly for purposes of testing new liquid or giving them to new vapers...

An eGo C-Twist with a Aspire nautilus Mini (BVC) is a killer set-up for the ladies who want something easy to toss in the purse - allows them to voop at work. :)

LOL. Back in the day much of the software in my business had usb security keys, commonly called dongles. Used to wear them on a lanyard around my neck when I was on the road. Still use two.

Everyone should have a dongle. Own one, rent one of you have to.

I know this is completely off-topic but since we were talking about cats and them being indoors...My poor cat Max had to be put to sleep just a few hours ago and it was because he ran away for a couple days and something happened to him that I honestly didn't even know happens.I'm just relieved that he's not suffering any more. So I just want to say if you own any cats or small animals please for the safety of your animals don't let them out.

R.I.P. Max I will always remember him..he was family to me.

I just want to apologize for taking this thread so off-topic I just wanted to get off my chest.I still can't believe after talking about how I can't let my cat go outside because I'm afraid something would happen this happens.I feel so guilty for not trying harder to keep him inside.It was horrible seeing him like that...

Oh sweetie, that is so sad! *HUGS* :cry:

And you did your best, you cannot reason with them they just want to go anywhere they are excluded from. Be gentle with yourself, there is nothing you could have done otherwise, you tried your very best to keep him safe.

RIP Max...:(

Spinner batteries are on the rise at my house. Was using a couple 1st gen Ecoms for tobacco in the car. I got sick of messing with them constantly. I've now got 7 Vision Spinner 2s with Kanger Aerotank Mows on top for the tobacco liquid/car vapes. Looks great, vapes great, and the new upgraded dual coils work good right out of the box.

RIP Max :( , they are family here too EvilBeast and I'm sorry for your loss. We screened the front porch so it makes an excellent secondary catch barrier when opening the front door and also keeps them entertained while still safely inside.

So sorry about your Max. It's so sad when we lose a pet. They truly are family. I'm lucky that my current 2 don't even try to get out. Still, I plan to have them GPS chipped at their next annual checkups, just in case. Outside is not safe for them, rabid raccoons, poisonous plants, feral cats.

Thank you everyone for your condolence.I'm not as in shock as I was last night and I'm sorry to post something like this I just had to get it off my chest.He was getting older he was around 10 years old.I had such a special connection to him because he was a mean feral cat that I took in and he eventually started to like me and my mother and began to b-e on the nicest cats I ever had the pleasure to be with.It hurts alot still but I'm relieved that he is in a better place and not suffering any more. This is him with my mother:

EB never ever, EVER be sorry. We are a family and we are here for each other! *HUGS*

Fact is quitting smoking and finding this wonderful juice and the fantastic crew who makes the wheels turn are only a part of it. Being supportive of each other for all reasons insures our success in keeping off smokes. Personally I think the juices taste better with a family like this one here and in the party in the back. Best people on the internet, no question!!! :wub:

So say what you'd like and buy a bottle of juice in honor of dear Max. He was a wonderful friend. You loved and cared for him very well and he lived far longer, in comfort, than he would have had you not tried so hard to keep him!

So what juice honors Max the best in your opinion?:thumbs:

Ah, poor Max. :( And poor EB. I would be devastated.

Our kids are grown and our animals are our babies. We live where there are no real predators to them (large birds, fox, coyotes etc.) but we still go out in a fenced yard with them a lot. Our cat has decided to live on the patio but she's too old to get out of our yard so we put up another fence to divide the yard into a smaller section. The dogs don't mind and we can see them from the house. I just wish the little buggars could talk when they get sick.
