Good Morning and Chit Chat Thread

[Larkfour]

Ouch....ouch....ouch Kittypie. I did not know anything about gout so did a bit of reading.

This pic from a 1799 book looks frightenly painful: File:The gout james gillray.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sending oodles of sincerely sappy sympathy your way.

 

[kittypie]

*sniffles* thanks, larkfour. It truly is as bad as post-op pain. I couldn't bear the thought of another sleepless night in so mch pain, so I dashed off (hobbled off) to Urgent Care. It is gout and God bless 'em they gave me a shot of toradol and a shot of prednisone, and prescription for pain and prednisone. I got to the pharmacy just as they were pulling down the cage to close. They were merciful and filled my prescriptions anyway. It's still pretty fierce but the Toradol took the edge off a little.
Thanks for the sappy sympathy, I needed it.
ETA: YEP, that jpeg is very accurate!

For Gout I usually try 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in 8oz water twice a day to relive the acidity. Sometimes Apple Cider Vinegar can be supplemented too. Hope you're feeling better!

A lot of ppl use organic apple cider vinegar daily to keep from getting gout. I empathize- that gout can be horrible.

 

[Swer3397]

Yeah AVC is awesome pawsome. The baking soda should work just as well too in my experience (if not faster). Make sure to stick to 1/2 tsp tho.

Poor Kitty!! If I lived closer, I'd bring you a couple of my Valuim...at least you'd get some sleep if nothing else...lol...but seriuosly, I hope everything they gave you starts helping quickly and you feel better soon! I know all about pain keeping you from getting some sleep....

 

[Iowa Gal]

(((Kitty))) if you weren't in so much pain I'd ask if your would like some cheese and crackers with your whine My kids used to get so mad at me when I said that. Hope everyone got to relax a little this weekend...the heat wave has broke..but we really need rain. Annette..we were all so excited when you opened back up we probably did overload you...I'm more than happy to wait for my creations....it's always well worth it.

 

[kittypie]

Thanks for all the tips! I will check out any and everything to try and prevent this from happening again!

Awww, thanks, ty... The pain has subsided enough for now that I think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

G'night VVers...see ya in the morning!

 

[tyleris12]

Good Morning Everyone...going in to work super early today...I know it's Monday, but hope everyone has the best day possible!

(((Annette))), hang in there and hopefully you'll be to a better spot with everything soon my friend!!

 

[kittypie]

Good morning, VVers! Annette, I hope you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We want our Mixtress to be happy and rested. How's that illegal juice smelling?

My gout is quite a bit better (thank God for prednisone!) and I was able to sleep, walking is not nearly as painful. Phew, that was awful.

I hope we all have a great Monday!

Mixtress- good one, lol.

Glad you're doing better Kitty. I am thinking about buying an Ego Twist this week. The adjustable voltages have me interested and I keep wondering what Annettes flavors will taste like on it. Where did you get yours at? Also, is the threading the same as the KGO? Meaning will all my KGO stuff like my beloved Vivi Nova work on it? Just checking ahead. I am looking at some reviews on Youtube right now and it looks great.

Edit: also, is the ego twist the same as the ego C twist?

i'm not kitty, but i can help answer....firstly, yes the Ego C Twist is the twist everyone refers to...it is 510 threaded, so yes your Vivi and all 510 threaded carts/tanks will work with it....and there are a ton on ECF vendors that have them for sale...if you have a favorite supplier, just check em out and they prob have it...i can pm you where i got mine from if you would like as well...btw i have 3 of em and they are great!

Good evening... Mondays really stink Hope everyone had the best day possible...my juices shipped so I'm happy. Anxious to try the Vanilla Latte..and then also getting a couple of my favs Bella Amaretto and Cherry Vanilla Swirl.. I hear more good things about the Ego Twist each day..sounds like it's a great way to try VV for a reasonable price and if everything you use on the KGO works..that's a bonus.

Thanks Vayne. Plz do let me know (is it against rules to post sites publicly?). I wanted somewhere with relatively fast shipping. Dont wanna wait 2 weeks on it, is all.

 

[Vayne]

well as this is the VV section i dont like to post links to other suppliers out of respect to the vendor as it is VV's section...pm sent and let me know if you have any more questions

 

[kittypie]

I have vaped several of Annette's juices on the Twist (yes, it is an Ego C Twist). Some VV juices really burst with flavor at the higher voltage, some are better at the lowest voltage; the flavors that are complex are so fun to vape on a variable voltage device...you get different notes of the mix of flavors with a little voltage adjustment...with the complex flavors it's like getting three different tastes out of one flavor and it's delightful! I woul love to try the G-Sub vv kit Annette is carrying. When she gets caught up maybe she can tell us about her experience with it.

Thanks to all for the good thoughts about my stupid gout...it has improved greatly today. Prednisone is a miracle drug!

 

[Swer3397]

Don't forget the baking soda and ACV cures for a natural alternative.

For anyone who would indulge me, I am very confused about the OHM ratings wih the Ego Twist using my Vivi Nova. I'm a little slow with this lol, people have explained the voltages and ratings to me more than once and I still don't quite get it. My burning question is what does a Twist mean to me using a Vivi Nova with 3 different heads? Does it simply negate the need for different heads?

Right now I am using 1.8 OHM head on my KGO. I went lower in an attempt to get a better throat hit like I've been reading (was using 2.4) and it seems to have worked but we'll see. Now, if I used the Twist with this head, what would I get? Am I right in saying it would turn that head into a higher OHM?

I like the idea of being able to dial voltages on the fly. But wonder if my Vivi is already kinda doing that just requiring me to physically change out the attys. Am I making any sense or am I way off and talking about apples and oranges here?

 

[bigoted]

Good morning guys... finally i'm able to put my hand ( not literally yet ) on ODYSSEUS V2 ^^, i'm not home yet so my lil brother got it for me but it came with no wires just wick so i guess the customs stole'em anyway i can't wait anymore to try your juices mistress .. i mean you know how long i waited to try about 6 months haha already steeped well Annette.
i can't thank you enough for your continual support <3

 

[tyleris12]

Just a quick Good Morning Everyone...seems I just can't get back in the swing of getting up early again after my days off...

Swer, I've never used the Vivi Nova's, so hopefully one of the others that have will be able to come answer your question.

(((Bigoted))) hope all is the best possible for you lately!!

Been thinking of you Annette and hope you're managing to get caught back up some....I know how hard you work to try & keep everyone happy!
