OOH, I wanna be guinea pig on this one, lol. Love the packaging, the theme, and the whole save the tatas charity aspect. Yay for tatas:)

Good! Let us know what you get and how it is. I see a couple I want to try but don't remember which ones now.

I think it's sad that they had a hard time finding a charity willing to take their donations.

Hey Friends. Team Velvet Cloud here! We just wanted to let you know that you can save 20% off everything in our shop with the code MEMORIALDAY at checkout!

I hate you! Not really. My wallet is getting bare with all these great sales. I seem to use them as an excuse to buy more rather than spend less.

I was using a different tip. I guess I don't know if this is the lite or not. I just always use that abbreviation. :laugh:

I am going to bed. I will mess with it over the weekend.

Night, all.

It's the KFL2+ I didn't want to drill it out because there are no good vape shops near me and I don't have a proper vice to hold it steady. I knew by looking at it that it would need more air based on the way I vape and the ridiculous amount of wick I use in a setup. I think an extra well placed air-hole will resolve the issue.

Thanks. I will see what I can figure out. I don't have the proper tools but I'm sure someone does. :)

Anyone else order anything from the Vape Kitchen?? Placed order last night

I had a momentary lapse of sanity and will need a forklift when the TVK box gets here. Not to mention the Ahlusion feedback coupon :facepalm:

This peanut butter cookie by The Vape Kitchen is really good. It's a rich flavor that reminds me of eating soft PB cookies right out of the oven! Yum!

My experience too, love it.

I somehow lost my last mls of Bobas too!

Oh no, that would not go well here, Boba has taken over most of the tobaccos at my house.

Buy the dang airflow controller!! Not great for it's intended purpose but great for that. Myvaporstore.com has them and I think they have a 15% off on deals and steals page
:) will probably get the ego to ego/510 adapter when I can. But I will still see about getting a backup mod of some kind.

Yes and yes. Two very handy items to have laying around in the toolbox for times like this.

Percocet is an Opiate and yes the feeling is AMAZ but they are highly addicting and will have a hold of you in no time. HARD to kick the habit. One of the few things I have not been addicted to only because I had other favs and by the time the Opiate craz came around again I was hard into RECOVERY but had/have a lot of friends that went down the Opiate road and are now attached to the Methadone Clinic. STAY FAR AWAY from the opiates

Yes. Avoid at all costs. I have an extended family member who is in such a dark place that he stole the medications out of his Mom's purse in the hospital while she was laying there with a brain aneurysm. He broke into his Grandparents house on a regular schedule to steal their meds. Bad bad life destroying stuff.

That pink ribbon makes a lot of money for someone, but not the bewbs. I have a four letter word for Komen: Scam.

TRUTH!

Whaaaaaaaat? Bewb scam? Now I'm fired up! :mad:
Don't be scamming the bewbs now..This means WAR!

Well the whole "for the cure," makes me think that the majority of the money they collect goes to cancer research. Buuuuut, that's not exactly what they do. I'll leave it at that. I will let you do your own research and make your own opinion.

My wife also has had a failed back surgery. Failed as in a simple fusion fell all apart inside her and she actually had a huge screw puncture her sciatic nerve. She has had a ton of surgeries since then. If there was one thing I could go back and change would be that first surgery. She had a tennis scholarship at a great university and now can hardly walk. Her life has changed so much and it hurts my heart so bad that there is nothing I can do for her. I will find myself out and about doing something with the kids and just get this huge depression come over me that she is disabled and can't do the activities that I do with our children.

Talk about being addicted to opiates, she has a morphine pump and takes oral medication. I don't think she will ever not take them, but can't imagine what would happen if she just stopped. I know that there is really no other option and it sucks. It's so hard watching someone you love in so much pain.

My heart bleeds for her reading this. And for you and your kids because this is so hard for all of you too. UGH I'm so sad for you guys. Back pain is excruciating, I had to quit my sales job cuz of it but refused surgery exactly because of your story. I've heard way too many horror stories of pain far worse than before surgery.

Your poor wife- praying for her to find at least some comfort.

So I filled my reo with caramel pear black tea today. I like it. The caramel isnt just gross like all other caramel vapes besides caramel apple. The pear tastes just like a real pear too. Im not really getting any tea though, I was hoping itd be heavier than it is. I'll have some feedback this time, lol. I was hoping for a bitter flavor to mix with the sweet more I guess. Its still an excellent flavor, doubt I'll be switching for a day or two:)

I completely understand all of the associations of both situations, whether it be the pain meds or the Methadone route. Either or, is depressing no matter how you look at it. Although, when someone is in agonizing pain 24/7 it takes it's toll on the human spirit. And, coming off of either of them is a very scary thought. I can't blame anyone for continuing a med routine if it helps the spirit stay alive, when pain is forever present. It would not be fair to judge unless you have walked in one's shoes and knew all the circumstances involved!

The physicians of the early 2000's brought back the opiate medication and the pharmaceutical companies started to re vamp them into Oxy contin and Norcos and other treacherous things for peeps like your wife. Some do not have the quality of life they should be able to enjoy without them. They are good for the seriously hurt and in pain people that have no option. Like all good things too many DR's gave them out to any person that complained about any sort of pain and then off into the black market they went. The Dr's handed the scripts out like candy and I know this because I hurt my back in 2001 and was sent to pain management. Thought I was going to physical rehab. Out came the prescription pad and off I went with a paper that got me narcotics. 3-4 months into this I realized the road I was going down (had been an addict before or some would say always will be) anyway I took myself off of them and will never go that route again. People manufacture back pain to get them, nobody checks, I mean really checks, and the world is now full of opiate addicts again. (happened in the 60's too)

Mo has she tried the injections? They do not take away all the pain but not even pills do that for me. Besides the more you let them put you on the less pills work. I'm sorry for your wife's condition bro. Condolences to her. :(

This. My family member has a doctor in town he can always count on to get some Ritalin when he can't score opiates on the street or steal them from family members. This is especially disturbing because the doctor in the next office had him in rehab for a while. And the doctor that gives him Ritalin will pretty much give pills to anyone so I assume he's getting a kickback from big pharma. And my family member started on the pills in the first place because the doctors were giving his Aunt so many pills that she had plenty to trade for favors.

So sorry to hear about your wife Mo, has to be tough.

Bingo my Cackalacky brother. Never judge anyway, walking in shoes or not. Nobody tolerates pain the same way. I just have a high tolerance and hate the drugged feeling.

Yeah and that pisses me off doctors getting people that don't know no better strung out on opiates. My doctor makes it clear you will be out on your ... if you abuse his scripts.

So when did they stop pushing H? It was all over the streets in the 70's. I had to undergo full scan MRIs to even get the injections.
