So I've got a couple of bottles of cherry juice here that I know I will never vape. They're the kind that taste of nyquil. I've let them sit in hopes of the flavor changing some, but it hasn't. I know I personally will never vape them, but would be willing to donate them so that at least someone can benefit from them. One is only a 6ml bottle that has maybe a ml out of it. The other is I think a 10ml bottle, also with around 1ml out of it. The smaller bottle is 60/40 PG/VG, the larger one is 30/70 PG/VG. They're 16 or 18mg.

Also have a bottle of tiramasu that just doesn't pallet well with me. 10ml I think it is. 50/50 and not even a ml taken out of it. (Tasted better in the store when I tried it than it did when I got home).

I know it was mentioned that juice was preferred in higher 24mg range, but if they can help, I would be glad to toss them in an envelope for the short mail ride to Brother Frankie. ... with a little apt cleaning I can probably find a few extra A/C adapters as well.

Darn...wish I had found this thread earlier. I just threw out a bunch of old stuff that might have been useful to you. I live only about 35 - 40 miles from Orlando. No time to read through this whole thread tonight, but will come back tomorrow and get acquainted. I've been hearing a lot about the homeless problems in Orange county.

Yeah, it's always a battle. I'm in South Lake now, but lived in Orange for the bulk of my time in the area. I think anything that can help is a good thing. And not to thread jack too much, but are you aware of the vape gathering in Orlando next weekend on Saturday?

Hi, I am having a Coop for some new Vivi tanks which are coming soon. There might be some extra tanks or money that would be left over from this coop. I am hoping I can send them to you to share with your homeless friends. Could you please send me the info on where to send them. Thank you for doing this for these people. I hope this is going to be helpful. I am looking forward to hear back from you BrotherFrankie. I want to say God bless you but I know there is no need.

If you click on Bro. Frankie's profile pic and go to his profile page, you'll find the addy. Thanks for helping!

Hi
I just found this topic and havent had time to read all of the posts.
Was just wondering if i should donate at the matthews hope site or if brother Frankie has set up a separate paypal for this projoect?

He has a separate paypal to pay for vaping related expenses. If you donate to the Matthew's Hope site, it all goes into one big pot. If you pm him, he will send you the pp addy. Thanks!

dang, four pages of posts.... i am in awe of you guys!!!!!!!

july 2012 kerc and mail 022.jpg july 2012 kerc and mail 019.jpg...

this is from todays mail.. a vender and several others have been sending chargers and cartos, and....

the other pic of my trunk is a pic of 60 school back packs for the kids who live outside.. they go to school too.. not vaping but i thought is might apply and interesting. we have another 50 back packs going out ASAP. This was my wifes first load..

We now have a shower trailer to bring to the camps and to supplement our one shower at the facility we use.. we do 80 showers plus on tuesdays... hard when u only have one.. now we have 4 in trailer using our own well and AC from generator..

Even have a grooming station in back.. its in the vid ill post..

Im mixing lots of juice.. i am having a hard time keeping up with the demand as well as replacing water damaged batts, lost stuff....

i put most to the end of the line unless they are one of the ones who are NOT SMOKING analogs too..

this stuff is not easy folks. I am now teaching a life skills group.. hygiene, abuse, violence and DE-escalation, dealing with addiction and mental illness, homeless but still pretty (for the woman) and more... its a 12 topic thing. we also do job skills and resume type stuff..

this all started because we brought socks out to homeless folks years ago and did a coffee with a short sermon in the camps... opened up a cgurch school on a cold night...

matthews hope has grown.. we are not a shelter, we give a hand up and not a hand out..

anyway, thanks ... i am in debt.. i am sorry i do not post often.. i am going to school, teaching more, my body aint working like it should...lol (gettin old) and the need is growing so much i figure doing is better than typing..

im down to 1/3 of the blank juice for DIY... so im good for a bit.

with love
Brother Frankie



;) shower for the shower

NOTE: i have received a few emails claiming i might be not so truthful on what i am doing. or who i am.. i never asked for anything. i asked for ideas.

i am ordained, i am a minister. does that really matter. if i was a plumber or a doctor or a cop? i care about others..

i have never taken any donations and used them for myself. In-fact, i give my personal supplies as well as food, clothing and tools. My home was used to detox homeless folks for years till i lost it and was almost in the street. My kids have done without their entire life so we could do what we do and now at times i feel a bit guilty for that.

I preach the Gospel. Thats what i was called to do. I also have hindu, muslim, atheists working along side me at any time. This is about caring enough to give what we have.. Ecigs are a small part of it..

Its none of my business what anyone thinks about me. But know that I love ya anyway..

Sorry for that.. its easier than answering silly emails.. wink wink

OMG Brother Frankie that shower trailer is BEAUTIFUL !!!! Loved that vid :) Oh yeah, and you look Wonderful Today !! :D

In your post you mentioned wet batteries. These M & M candy tubes work great for holding an ecig inside. The lids click shut and makes it great for going to the beach etc. No sand or water gets on your pv. theres no holes in them. Just a suggestion for the people who are in tents or whatever, if they put their pv in there at nite, it should keep them dry. The bright colors may keep them from getting lost too.

That is, frankly, somewhat appalling.
And this, in spite of the videos you have posted.

But freedom is a precious thing, and it includes providing the ability of the haters to hate.
So we have to get used to dealing with what is thrown at us, from whatever side it comes from.

Its none of my business what anyone thinks about me. But know that I love ya anyway..
Thankfully, by the Grace of God, you have a thick enough skin to not let it bother you that much.
I don't know that I could be so kind, generous of my time, and most of all forgiving.

But then that's probably a significant part of why you do what you do and I don't.
:)

And I'd like to add that Kerc looks great...
And that shower trailer is a wonderful, inspired idea.
