Now that sounds like an awesome party! She sounds like an amazing woman!

Indeed, she was. She was a tiny little woman, who was larger than life. She educated herself, in a time and place women did not. She did business, and invested, in a time and place women did not. Nothing ever prevented her from doing anything, and everything she ever wanted to do. A bit self-centered? Yes. But, most overlooked that. You could not help being captivated by her infinite zest for life. She was still white-water rafting in her eighties! She used to love riding in the side car, on one of our Harleys. She would be yelling at us: " Go faster! Go faster!".

Now that is a cool old woman. FYI, I fixed your motorcycle error. It's a common one.

Gotta question for all you "chain vapers" I ve had a question Ive been pondering in my head for a while. I am very happy with my set up and I find myself vaping like a fiend these days. Been extremely stressed and worried so I fiddle with my set ups to distract myself from the reality of life these days.

I just wonder , is there a point in chain-ing that the coils and atomizer get to a temperature in which coils, juice, tank get so heated that the vapor actually reduces? Its also been over a hundred here and in my room it does heat up really bad also.

THe tube and the button get warm, but I think its normal when taking long drags, back to back to back , etc. I let it cool off and then vapor production gets back to its normal glorious clouds.

My build is aprox 1.0 to 1.06 , 30 gauge kanthal on ELAs ( of course) either on the Odysseus or KFL. I think Odys get hotter slower, but retain heat longer, as they are thicker , heavier steel. KFL gets hot faster , but cools quicker as its not as heavy/thick walled. KFL is built at 1.5 ohms.

Just curious. I swear that I catch myself taking long puffs , maybe 40 to 50 in a minute sometimes.

I have been known to do some heavy hitting. My vapes and atties can get pretty warm! Keep in mind, also, I am vaping lower ohms (in and around between .5 - .6). I have not noticed lower vape production when hot. It has, however, resulted in a KFL flooding a bit, if the battery is lacking.

I wanted to jump through the screen, and hit him with something. Ugh!

I've been shocked when I've heard several B&M think " this is gonna be a good thing"...I don't think they understand that this could put them out of business, as well as change the way we all vape. Time to learn how to make our own DIY liquids and stock up on supplies!!

Wonder how many of these guys have been bought and paid for by big tobacco....

What seems like several lifetimes ago, on this day, I lost my Father to suicide. I lost a handful of loved ones to suicide. Of all the crazy, I thought I understood my Father's the most. I would have bet money, he would have been the least likely of us to go there. I was wrong....

Sometimes, we may underestimate a person's struggles. Or, we may overestimate a person's strengths.

If one of the crazy people in your life, reaches out for a 'hand up', take their hand? Maybe, you can make a difference. Maybe, you can't. But, just maybe....

BTW: Don't judge me for the 'crazy' reference. I use that term 'lovingly', in honor of my Hubby #1. Even in the darkest of times, he would attempt to find humor. When you are fighting for your life, humor trumps PC.
