Oh just working (and sneaking on here). :). How are you on this fine day?

It's a bit slow here today. May be everyone is keeping cool for a change. Watch now the phone will ring call after call..hehe :p
Hope not.

" some Vitamin C so I can make my own serum"
what now?

I wonder if she is making the thing I make? I used to use MyChelle Vitamin C serum. Then Dale and Mindy at EJuice4u.com sent me a DIY e-liquid package - liter of PG and a couple liters of VG, a bunch of TFA flavors, pipettes, bottles, and gloves. My DIY tasted awful - I ain't no e-liquid chef to be sure, but I learned I could re-create that Vitamin C serum pretty well with natural Vitamin C powder, a little distilled water, and VG! The cost including the tablespoon of Vitamin C powder (and assuming I had paid for the VG from Dale and Mindy), probably amounted to about 25 cents USD.

The overall satisfaction of having replaced a $42 a month product: PRICELESS!

I've looked for my glasses while they were on my face... That's pretty bad. My problem isn't memory... It's the fact that I'm CONSTANTLY thinking... over-thinking... so my attention span is non-existent.

Redirect that thinking to thinking about right now and you'll find all the things you're looking for - metaphoric and physical (you'll never lose your keys or glasses again).

It's really hard at first, but after a while the past and future will no longer come into focus. They become useless and your brain won't want to go there any more. Your brain will realize that there is only one time: right now. The past no longer exists and the future doesn't exist yet either because it hasn't happened.

And be nice to yourself about thinking. I am not around you in person, but I wouldn't view your thinking as a negative aspect. It is a powerful gift. :) I wish more people would THINK more often. When I go out in the world I notice that a lot of people aren't really there. I mean, I see them. Their bodies are there, but their focus is elsewhere. Their smartphone, their superficial conversations, their superficial worries. They're like the walking dead. I guess that means ZOMBIES REALLY DO EXIST! THEY'RE ALL AROUND US!

Yes. It's the same exact thing. Except I found one recipe that calls for Vitamin E as well. (1/8 tsp) So I'm going to use it.

Ugh! I'm having one of those nights where nothing goes right! Stupid dishwasher decided it doesn't want to work anymore, dryer appears to be going on the fritz..it dries but takes several cycles to do so, my son who is moving out this weekend needs to borrow money for a deposit so they can get the electricity turned on, apparently there's a problem with my other son's college financial aid application, but he heard me yelling about the dishwasher so he's steering clear of me right now, found out my stepson took several of my things when he moved out a couple of weeks ago (just found them missing when I looked for them tonight) and to top it all off I can't even vape because now I'm feeling sick to my stomach and the thought of vaping right now makes me nauseous! UGH!!!!!:mad:

Sorry for the rant but I just needed to get it off my chest! Carry on......


My last clothes dryer took forever - it got really hot inside - to the point that plastic stuff like shirt designs and covers on snaps and buttons would melt a little... but the clothes didn't get dry.

I thought about it. Pulled the dryer back from the wall. Opened up the connection at the exhaust and ended up pulling out about TWO POUNDS of lint and other gross stuff from the silver hose that comes out the dryer exhaust. Most of the clog was right at an elbow that the hose made where the hose bent up toward the wall connection toward the pipe that goes outside.

After that the dryer worked again and the inside didn't get so hot.

I really want to get this, a bottle of the thai mango sticky rice custard, perfect pear and spring fling. Maybe I should ask for extra flavor?

I wouldn't ask for extra flavor on the TVK Mango Sticky Rice - the Mango is pretty bold as is unless you want them to dial up the Coconut Custard part. I didn't try Perfect Pear or Spring Fling yet. Perfect Pear is from their original line of flavors so it is probably pretty well dialed in. What flavors are in Spring Fling?

Thanks for the tip! Per the website:

Spring Fling*
Blackberry & cucumber delight infused w/mint. Currently The Vape Kitchen's favorite summertime vape.

Hi Guys:) Long time no see, lol. I have been so busy at work this week that I havent had time to do any of my important forum postings... Stupid linux. It's not really stupid. Its way easier than I figured it would be. So I was eating a mcgriddle awhile ago, and lost a peice of bacon. It was in my car while I was at work on break, driving around eating and "napping". So when I got back to works parking lot, I looked all inside my car for the bacon. Later when I got home and went to fill my reo bottle, I discovered the piece of bacon had fallen thru the squonk hole, lmao. It was in my reo the whole time:)
Also, I polished off my 60 ml of Burley and candy, and started on one of the 30's from the new batch. Excellent, just as good as the last bottle. Long steep time for sure. Good things come to those who wait...

I don't consider it cheap to say you don't want to spend $6 S&H on a small bottle of juice.
That is expensive.
I feel the same way.
If you are ordering a small bottle of juice, they shouldn't charge $6 for shipping.
I love the juice I got from Vapeholic.
I just placed my second order this week.
They were my only buy during Memorial day and it wasn't even a sale.
But $7.40 for their S&H burns my .... up!
By the time I buy 2 bottles of juice I am paying nearly $40.
I know for some that is a mere drop in the bucket.
But for me it is a lot of money.
Still I love their Kryptonite and Jolly Apple ........... so what am I going to do.
I haven't found another vendor that creates juice that vapes like Vapeoholic.
It is hard to explain, but I think someone here posted it a few times , it is the 'mouth-feel' of the vape.
Also the flavor is phemonenal. I like up in my face flavor from juice and Vapeoholic delivers.
.


I agree with that. That's a big reason (corny as it may be) that I keep returning to Alice in Vapeland. Their presentation is great and their customer service is excellent. They are pretty active in their comments section of both their website and Facebook. I believe they are even active on the thread they have on here. Highbrow wrote a simple "Enjoy" on my invoice. Simple but shows you they G.A.F. I also liked how Bryan contacted me via email regarding placing my first order. (I already told the story but LMK if you haven't read it)
Lazarus Vintage juices were good to me... but not great. At least not the flavors they have currently. Out of the 7 from their regular line, I would only purchase a full size of one. "Compass" But considering your service (or lack their of) and the fact that I'd only want one and I hate paying $6 or more for shipping 1 bottle. (I know it's glass and all that but I'm cheap) I don't know if I will.

No.1 - I got no apple... Strange. (I just tasted pastry)
Journey- I didn't get Werther's either but I can see where you'd get that. (I don't have it anymore to vape it again)
Trinity Reserve- I got nuts (lol) and Bourbon. No cream though. I don't like Bourbon.

I didn't like anything I got from PlumeRoom. I also didn't like that 2 juices I got weren't fresh and the third date was screwed up so I never knew when it was made.(if it was fresh or not)
I was eying up Chronos. Let us know what you think. I tried to find reviews on it and found absolutely nothing. I thought Alpha and Omega were popular brands?

Yeah I was thinking it might be something like that too. I'm gonna have my son pull it out this weekend and check it out for me. Hope it's that simple!
