Well I checked and counting from approx. when I completely stopped smoking and only vaping its like $850 saved so Id say Ive about broken even which makes me feel better about my spending. Not including the reo which doesn't completely count because $100 of the money is from vape stuff I sold off to buy it.

according to my quitnow app I have saved $2,651.77 since sept 6th, but i did revert to part time smoking for a while there-I should have counted the packs i smoked, maybe i'll start the thing over again.

Have you seen the machinist? Talk about Bale at his best, what a mindf...! I saw it before christian bale got big on someones on demand and was blown away. Then when batman came out, I was happy to see skinny psycho guy from the machinist in a non-indie movie. If you havent seen it, watch it today. Best movie he's mad IMO, and I loved the batman movies...

that was a great movie, i couldn't believe how skinny he was, he was really good in batman too. he was great in American Psycho also

Never saw Top Gun, Mission Impossible or any of the other movies he's known for. I did like Minority Report and Far and Away but feel that any actor could have replaced him and the movies would have been just as good.
I'm not super big on any actors/actresses but I do love me some Leonardo DiCaprio. I guess he was "my Tom Cruise". Ever since the boat movie (I don't like seeing the name) he got his big break on, I have loved him. I had books, magazines, posters... His face was everywhere. I still think he's handsome but he hasn't aged the best.
Johnny Depp I fell for after Pirates of the Carr. Love that movie. Saw it 7 times in theater.... I know, it's ridiculous.

seems like i've never met a woman who didn't like johnny depp, i wish he'd make oddball movies the way he used to though

General question:So many of us are turned off by a certain "sweetness" many companies seem to use in flavoring.
What can you recommend in the way of sweeter or sweetish flavors that DOESN'T have that gross thing going on? I am trying to get into flavors I haven't focused on yet...I think the coffee-ish might not be working for me. Still love my tangy fruits.

Ahlusion and Nicoticket don't, for me. But I never get anything from Ahlusion "sweetened" I just get it as is. But there is that option.

Someone else said Nicoticket is yuchy for her...I guess Ahlusion is my only option then.

Boardwalk Empire is an awesome show...too bad the next season is the last. I guess it can't go on forever though.

The following and Hannibal are both great as well....and I'm looking forward to getting into Fargo.

Im hoping the reo wll be the answer for mod and tank and really it may be the answer for juice as well because the main thing with runny juice is leaky, flooding, gurgling tanks

Rob sells a reducer tube to put into the tubing for the thinner juices or for the summer.

I resisted ordering from there again because of the plastic bottles. Frenilla finally tempted me enough that I gave in. Then I figured I may as well make it worth paying shipping and ordered the GCD and the Perkins Paste.

So - what IS the Perkins Paste? Seems everyone is keeping it a secret.

I have the Lavender from AiV but have not gotten the guts to try it. I really don't know if I will like that flavor in a vape. I worry it will be like perfume. I won a contest with them so I ordered a couple things I wasn't sure about.

I ordered from FSV, got a sampler pack and pineapple. I don't remember what I got for samplers, I do know they are all still in the drawer. I forget about them when it is time to pick juice.

I need a new system for storing my juices. I got a small cart with 6 drawers that was to be for all my vape stuff. The drawers are too small, I can't stand a 30ml bottle up so everything is laying down. This means 2 drawers are full of juice and I still have a small plastic tub full as well. All my other gear doesn't fit in the remaining drawers so I have a little "tool" box and some random stuff still in my old vape box and mods on top of the cart. I think I need a whole closet. We are likely moving soon so maybe I will get one.

I was scared of it too, but then got the guts to try it and found I liked it. It still smelled like I wouldn't.

I remember one person saying they got it but according to Ahlusion it was never an offer so idk

I wonder if it was something they tested but opted not to keep

It was actually a special order for a specific customer and somehow a couple other people got it too. But they only made that one batch and that was it.

Yeah, I was vaping (very)part time last summer and only remember having a steel drip tip in the heat was not good! Now, I am thinking that will be the easy part. I think I only took my e cig to an outdoor activity one time last year. I just smoked because it was easier. Now, its vape or nothing.

Cheating on your evod lol
Last summer I had already went back to ft smoking after givin up on the blu's

Yeah last summer I was only using the cigalikes, so never had those problems and just ended up going back to the smokes full time. This summer will be my first time with the heat issues, and it gets very hot and humid here on the gulf coast. I'm hoping my Reo will solve any issues with it. I already know my kayfun doesn't like the heat, because I had that issue when we were out in the 80 degree weather last weekend and it made it leak. The only leak I've had from it at all. So I'm thinking when I'm going to be outside I'm only going to use my reo.

I have a blue and purple king ming that I already use and should look good on it I think if not I wll buy something else. It looks very Seuss ive posted pics of it before but....

We had a ton of winter weather too my poor kids will go to school till July lol

That's a beautiful tip. I love getting tips to match my stuff. Always looking for something nice. Think I wanna get a Molehill one made to match my new Reo. I think that would look so sharp!

I found that stuff to be a pita. I ended up giving the box to my daughter yesterday for makeup removal. It just didn't work for me.



I have found that I need a variety of toppers. I have some carto tanks for the juices that do best in them, 3 kayfuns, my taifun, rm2's on my REO's, a Nautilus (only one of that type I have found usable but I still can't chain vape on it without dry hits) and a couple different drippers that I never use.



You will!



I just looked and I only have about 5 ml left out of 15 so I must have liked it more than I thought.

Thank you, she is family so I want to have her here so that I know she is loved. A teen going into the foster care system is facing an uphill battle all the way.

She was inducted into the National Honor Society this week! I am so proud of her.

I think it's wonderful that you are there for her like that. And I know you are so proud of her! I'm sure you being there for her like that has really helped her to accomplish that!

Well, if I am able to get into this place as an intern I have a good chance of being hired on full time, especially with my work ethic. I love my brother but he's lazy as F and he was hired on after being an intern. He does the bare minimum and has no self-motivation whatsoever. Me, I'm the opposite. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to be the best or at least strive for it. Even delivering pizzas, I'm one of the top drivers (even over people that have been there for years) and have been told so by at least a handful of people, half of those people being managers. The other half are senior staff. The same was said about Time Warner when I worked for them.
My brother makes like 35K a year or something ridiculous like that. I couldn't imagine making that much money. I thought I was doing good making close to $13 an hour!

That's a good attitude to have. Always do the best you can, and go above and beyond. Speaking as someone who used to be in charge of personnel I can tell you that I always looked for the ones who showed initiative. If you just come in and do the bare minimum, yeah you may keep your job, but you'll never get anywhere. The ones I always promoted were the ones who showed me that they were willing to do more than was asked. They are showing that they want to get somewhere in life and are willing to work hard to do it. I think you'll go far with that attitude! :)

Just coming on to say G'Morning Juicers! About to go hit the lake. I'll be back on later in the day! :)

Hope you have a great day on the lake! Wish I could go do that! Hope you catch some good ones! :)

a long while back he sent out an email when he started to get busier, and that existing customers could do this mumbo jumbo and jump through hoops via adding perkins paste to their cart and what not. i thought it was ridiculous.

So - apparently Ahlusion has 10% off today - stackable with a feedback coupon. Going to resist this time!

its automatic, but it doesnt' seem like it's all flavors?

Yeah I had to take advantage, since I just got a new feedback coupon. And it does seem like it's hit or miss on the flavors. At the end, I ended up with a total of 20% off. But that's still good, so I went ahead and placed the order.
