By the way, everyone. Buggs says she is not avoiding this thread. She has some stuff going on that has kept her away. That is all I will say about it, but I did exchange PM's with her.

You'll know you are vaping something PopPop. And to you surprise, it will taste like cinnamon and pear.
If you forgot what that tastes like, you might be able to get Mama to make you a cinnamon pear pie...that is, if you're nice to her. Forget about ever paying her back in full. Won't happen.
No cinnamon pear pie, General, but she did whip up a three layer shortbread cake with banana, strawberry, and blueberries on top. Haven't even tried it yet and already gained three pounds just looking at it !
I could drive up in short order. Maybe some of that cake will be left over?
NAW! Sounds like it will be eaten up perty quick.

I got something to say/ask and I wanted to put it before the fam here. OHH!Sounds serious they say.
My brother-in-law smokes. That is really nothing but his situattion is unique. He has lived over 40 years with serious Epilepsy, mostly uncontrolable grand seizures. If you have ever been around someone who has seizures you know they can break furniture and kick holes in the wall. His smoking has left a trail of burnt carpet, sofas and chairs. No fires have occurred, thankfully. Caring for him has been left in the hands of a home for special needs people. He is too much for his father to deal with and since his mother died in 2001 there has been no one who could be around him all day to keep him out of trouble and from being harmed when having a seizure.
This weekend I let him use one of my 7's cig-a-looks for the day. He says he liked it and he was not lighting as many cigarettes during the time we were with him. Speaking with his father I have mentioned that maybe he should transition to an e-cig. The safety factor would greatly increase and likely the health benefits. I often wonder how much smoking is affecting his condition. He is not allowd to keep a pack of cigarettes on him and is given 7 a day. My first thought was to buy him the same 7's starter kit I have. It comes with one battery, usb charger and 4 pre-filled cartomizers. It would not be a good thing for him to be handling e-liquids so, in his interest, keeping him supplied with pre-filled cartos seems to be the best option, though maybe not the most cost efficient method.
Logistics also factor in. He lives 40 miles from me and about the same from his father. Keeping him supplied with refills would have to be worked out. If I could have him keep the cartos he has used up, I could get those and refill them. I know I could get 4-5 refills per carto at least.
Anyone have any ideas? Do you know of any brands that come with pre-filled cartos. I am not talking about using Blu Cigs and even the 7's are not that cheap. I have looked into getting several 510 batteries and several packs of empty cartos and some liquid (I would handle keeping them refilled) and going that route. We are not certain whether he would really take to the e-cigs so do not want to spend much initially. The 7's "One Kit" is $29.95, locally and on the web, and additional filled cartos are $6.50 for 2.
How about you slap a patch on him or force him to use the gum then when he's about to relapse you intoduce vaping to the guy. I bet he'll appreciate vaping more coming from a smoking cessation program than the real thing. Just a thought, let us know how it turns out buddy.
P.S Ed, I'm releaved your boy is recovering. Rest of you, hi.
(HHV juices are still steeping)
Several hundred dollars have been wasted already on patches. Gum is not an option due to certain circumstances, seizures being primary. Don't want him to choke on gum while having a seizure. You cannot force things on people except at the point of a gun.

Can I kneel and become a knight in the Heavenly Army? I've converted... I can't put Legend and Dragon's Fire down. I'm like Colonel Tigh from Battlestar Galactica measuring how much booze he has left in his bottle with his fingers. Only I'm staring at a dwindling carto tank. I want to vape it nonstop, but the more I vape it, the quicker it'll be gone!
Oh, who am I kidding. I'm going to vape it...

for that!
Now if I can only get the +five enchant on my ProSword!
Everyone at work vapes MBV... I mean, everyone... And I'm not knocking MBV by any means, but I let a few (VERY few -- it's my precious) vaper friends try it, and it blew the backs of their skulls off. They didn't know juice could taste that good.
Me and the guy who got me started have a playful one-upmanship; we're always trying to outgear and outjuice each other (all for fun), and he readily admitted defeat after hitting Dragon's Fire.
"Yeah, that's right, suck it, Trebeck!" I'm the top dog right now as far as juice goes. He kept asking to hit it again. But I said, uh uh...

Dragon's Fire, huh? I just have a feeling my first love will remain Huntsman...but, hey, that's your opinion...
I've yet to try Hunstman. It and Dark Horse are in my cart. Just waiting on my bank account to get all cleared up after the AVE fiasco. Got my new debit card in, but my account is locked until I can active the card tomorrow. Also, I got a prepaid card to use as well.
TURD FERGUSON. Those were some of my favorite 90's sketches. I miss 90's SNL.

You and me both on the SNL, brother. We've got just about every episode of the first five seasons of it on VHS tapes, too. Yes, I still own a VCR. We've also got a heaping ton of the old SCTV (you know, John Candy, Eugene Levy, et al). Can't have Trebek without a little Sajak love --
And here I thought I was the last Jedi who knew how to program his VCR. Or still used VHS tapes. They're very hard to come by nowadays.
Remember Mango? Oh, Mango. Everybody loves Mango. I haven't seen that sketch in years. Off to Youtube...
