Let me explain....the irs has decided to garnish my wages. My local tax office garnished my wages for my property tax so my paycheck is now pretty scarce. My child support caseworker took it upon herself to put a hold on my child support because my son is now 18 even though he's still in high school. I filled out 2 of those forms letting them know this and dropped it by the office back in April. I'm also supporting my daughter and grandson until she gets her first check at her new job which will be the 2nd week in September. She had intended to work at her old job some nights and weekends to give her money for her bills. They let her go because they were ticked that she had another job. I had a $915 paycheck until garnishment so took over and I was left with $300. As for cigarettes, I have friends at work that will give them to me. None of them vape. I have around 10 mls of liquids left so that's 5 days worth if I'm frugal with it. I just keep telling myself that it will work out. How? I don't know.

The IRS will work out a payment schedule with you.

Learn how to DIY. You can get a free sample of 100 mg/ml nicotine from Nude Nicotine in 100% PG. THen get a bottle of Humco brand glycerin from Walmart to make a nic base of your desired strength. That will last a long time. You can buy some flavorings, too--they are very inexpensive. Just for starters.

Lynn, I have some extra juice (Halo), brand new, unopened, mostly menthols. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Oh Lynn I hate to hear that! Have you talked to the IRS to see if they will reduce the amount they are garnishing over a longer period of time maybe? If you explain your situation maybe someone would be reasonable?

So sorry for all your troubles, Lynn.

I, and I think Lynn also, live in the heart of tobacco country. I work for one of the largest tobacco giants in the country; if not the biggest.
Smokes tend to be a bit cheaper in this area.
Well maybe I live in the great state of NC too though not in the tobacco heartland ;)

I have relatives that live out in the boonies in NC and when I was a kid, I would spend summers there. I actually stomped tobacco one summer. o_O I think I got paid like 2 bucks an hour.
Good times. :)

If you suspect the top is leaking, you might

Well I just happen to have my Nautilus Mini disassembled, and verified a quick test works for checking to see if air is getting into the top of the tank - with the drip tip removed, and the base removed and only the top cap screwed to the glass, cover the hole in the top cap with your finger and blow into the glass, you shouldn't really be able to blow any air through. I don't think that's likely to be the cause of juice leaking out through the air flow control holes though - I would suggest screwing the coil into the base and noting where the o-ring seals to the base, removing the coil and checking the sealing surface of the base (where the O-ring hits when fully in) for burrs, defects, etc. Other than that or a bad coil, I'm out of ideas. I wish we had our two Minis apart side by side, we could probably figure it out.
Ok I know this is from days ago but I finally had time to do these things. 1. No air leaks when blowing into the the tank with just the top screwed on. 2. The only thing I can see wrong is there is a tiny spring in the base where the coil goes that is slightly off center, if that makes any sense? Other than that I see no other imperfections.

Lynn, Katya is absolutely right! It can be very inexpensive to DIY your own. And a lot of us like it even better.

If you don't feel secure about mixing up the nic/pg/vg, you can actually get it premixed at Ecig Express very cheap. I don't know what mg you vape, but here is an example: 120 ml of 6mg base (50/50) for $5.99. 250 ml for $9.99. Flavors are just a few bucks more and they last awhile. Or if you're desperate, vape unflavored. That's still better than smoking and tastes better than you would think. I know there are some options here that would work for you if you just take a deep breath and think it through. We're all pulling for you!

One of mine is off center a little as well so I don't think that's an issue. I suspected it's where the oring seals but if that looks ok and the oring looks good I can't figure it out either for the cause of your nautilus mini leak sorry.

Those coils will last a long, long time with unflavored liquid, too. Just food for thought.

I just placed an order with these folks. We will see how it goes but the reviews I saw were good for the price. So of course after my order the coupon comes out
It's very good juice. Some like Tiramisu, I put on par with stuff like NT Wakonda. Most are average flavorful juices. On Cloud Custard is one of the best custards:2c: They have great customer service too.

Yea! Vape mail was waiting for me when I got home. The gs tank x 2 is here from China with my spare cotton coils and my Vape Wild order. Of course those go into steep mode. Now to play with the new tanks.
My VW juice never lasts long enough for steepin. Some are just good FOOB.
