I 'like' the lime cream. A little too sharp for me. I'm letting that steep and will pick it up again at some point. Pineapple Cream tho....heavenly. Tart, sweet and a marshmallow kind of creamy. Haven't tried Lemon cream yet but will on my next order.

I love Pineapple Cream and have recently fell in love with Pineapple Upside Dwon Cake

I think it's all on parents.... I've known wealthy people who were criminal (rich people who cheat on their taxes), and I've known people that were poor as dirt but still wouldnt steal from anyone or sell drugs... If parents stuck around long enough to give kids a sense of morals, theyd be trying harder to make an honest buck, instead of slinging crack and sellin their bodies. I think a lot of people these days are pumping out kids more to get government checks than to have a child. More and more dads are only just sperm donors... People who dont care about kids are raising kids that flat dont care.... I blame the welfare system, but thats just my opinion.

I blame the corporate welfare system. The one that gives hand outs to corporations, that's where way way more money goes.
People on welfare here get: one parent one child: 427.00/mo +food stamps, three children: 636.00/mo +food stamps, it's not that lucrative.
I see a lot of people who grew up depending on the system and they don't know another way,inter-generational poverty, that's a big problem and a hard one to stop, but those people are a smaller percentage. But most people on welfare are only on it for a short time as a safety net. But yeah there are those who do abuse the system.
And yeah, lots of bad parenting/absent parents.

but yeah, i feel like i'm at work now, lol, i come here to forget about that stuff :2cool:

edit: corrected amount

So I went to the B&m earlier for some better atties to go on my reo. I asked for 510 atties, and they pulled out a tackle box full of em, but nothing below 2.2 ohms. So I looked at the holes on the bottom to see if any were larger than the holes on my atties. None were. He asked what I was putting it on. I showed him my reo. When he saw the juice around the atty in the well, he tried to sell me an aero tank and said it wouldnt ever leak, lol. I told him that those werent for this type of mod, and he wanted to fit it up to show me, lol. It wouldnt have fit anyway, diameter of tank is too big for well. I listened to whatever all else he said and was nice and left. Didnt wanna be a jerk about it or anything. I even explained what rda's are before I left when he asked what I usually use. He didnt have rebuildable supplies, unfortunately. Got to see a kamry epipe in person. Those things are just as awesome as they look, lol . Fiddled with a coolfire 2 also, those feel rock solid. I know a lot of you guys are innokin fans. Anyways, I dont get how someone opens a business(guy was owner) without knowing more than just a tiny bit about the market he's tapping? Thats bad CS. A shame too, its the closest ecig store to my house, 7 miles lol


I kinda want one of those pink Kamry pipes, just think they look cool. I can't see myself using one though and my kids would all probably pull muscles laughing if I did.

Up until now I had a fairly generous vape budget. For those that don't know due to some things going on in my family And the fact that I was simple physically, mentally and emotionally drained I had to cut my hours at work back at work from the 50+ I was working in graveyard shifts. Once I put the request in my boss was mad and passive aggressively cut them even further so now I've lost over 1/4 of my income. I have a 9yo and one about to graduate, plus a stepson that's with me more than not recently and mom my moved in with me last year. I am the only one in my home with a job. I've already crammed us all in to the guesthouse at my grandparents to help me and them out. Not long after he had a triple bias and my grandmother had a stroke years ago so she can't cook or anything. They of course have an income and my mom recieves a small disability check but the big stuff all falls to me.

Brett, you're bein awful quiet... Do you have another deep thought for us tonight? What does everyone have comin in the mail tomorrow? My unforeseen-expense purchase of the 2 a7 rda's will be here tomorrow, thank god. On the bright side, I've noticed juice lasts about twice as long with these premades...

Nicoticket's Raz Cup and 2 pairs of shorts for my son.

Allergies and/or this cold (still can't decide which it is) has left me with barely any sense of taste. :(

I'm sorry to hear you're having to bear such a heavy load. If you ever need to vent about it , please feel free to do so! It can help a little sometimes just to get it out and have someone listen at least. I'm really mad at your boss right now.

they do look cool! I get what you mean, as cool as they look, there might be the occasion where you would be embarrassed to have it
 
Ok, so one of my local vape shops that I frequent advertised a Easter weekend 30% sale and I stopped in. So, I picked up 2 of our household favorites to replenish and a new one. Typically, I'll get 2 for $20 (indiv. = $12) but the extra 10%? I just couldn't resist!

Epic Juice - Apple Jax (hands down the greatest recipe ever concocted. If you've never tried it, run and find a retailer)
Jet Fuel - Papi Churro (my wife is obsessed with this juice and I don't blame her. It's the second best juice I've ever tried)
Native Vaporz - Sacred Vine (vanilla custard which is supposed to be utterly fantastic...took a gamble but it's also 17ml instead of the usual 15)

Have a great holiday weekend everyone. I celebrated 'my' holiday a bit earlier this week. Also, we're doing a meet n' greet with a new cat we picked out from a rescue shelter tomorrow. Mix of Maine ..../Persian. Gorgeous animal. Can't wait to meet him! If we bond and he's as chill as he's described, his foster parent will drop him off at our condo next Saturday! I'll let you guys know! WAHOOOOOO!

Me too and she knows all of the above just mad I can't be a workhorse anymore...that was me venting btw. I'm not real emotional too often thank goodness! I'd fall apart if I was. It sounds like a lot but I love every single one enough to forgo the extra cash they need me home more than my savings account needs me. That extra money was savings and frivolities I still pay the bills just not much extra. I was almost embarrassed to place that $25 Ahlusion order
