First - accept this as an acknowledgment that all your post have been read. Yes Red Cross is one of the worst charities to donate to, especially since they're not really a charity in my humble opinion. Air conditioning is a must, especially when you have breathing problems and he does not help. Also very glad to read how some people are doing better. Now as an update went to my apartment complex not really good there. Roof off of one building trees down and still no electricity,. Might not be back up for 2 to 3 weeks really not good. I asked for me my status is B+ given that I'm not there and it friends house, although might not be for long. (insert wink smiley and laughing out loud here ). I sent images of apt complex to libue to post for me. Later My ECF Friends . . .

I dont like that at all

power ON! Just got back home and how sweet it is.

Xfinity also has opened up their wireless statewide in florida to non customers.

Hi Myrany, Comcast is Xfinity...and speak of the ... I'm catching up on this thread now
'cause right after I posted earlier my Xfinity internet service crapped out for hours..
I finally gave up and went to sleep.

Below is our Irma impacted list. If you would like to have your status updated

I guess I will give myself a B. Even though I'm probably going to wind up needing a new roof, which is fairly major, I was darn close to needing a new roof before the storm. Irma is just speeding up the time line a little.

It should be ok. It doesn't have to be frozen. It doesn't freeze anyway, just gets thick. It's ok when it gets thawed out unless you open the cap before it's room temp. If you open it up before it gets room temp it get condensation on the inside which can degrade the nic. You should be good though. All of my nic is in the deep freezer and I never opened the lid until this morning after we got power. I have a glass of water with a penny sitting on top so if the freezer thaws out and re freezes I will know cause the penny will sink in the thawed out water. If it's all the way at the bottom then I would have to throw everything away but it was still sitting on top so nothing started to defrost.

Thank you for your input...
I've been DIY my juice for 5 years
and often have to "bain Marie" a liter to soften up the VG base in order to get it out of the container.
I then decant it into 4oz Bell jars, one of which sits in the fridge (not frozen) or on the lab counter for days when I forget to put it in the fridge.
Still, I don't like to expose 5 liters (think Vapocalypse stash) to unnecessary heat if I can avoid it.

No worries my friend...anytime!

What I do is I break my liters down into a couple of dark brown 500ml bottles. I have some smaller dark brown bottles that I break the 500ml bottles into and that is what I pull out of the freezer to use. They are small 30ml dark brown bottles. I will take one out and let it defrost completely before I use it to keep the condensation out of the inside of the bottle so it doesn't degrade the nic. I will use that bottle up and when I need another bottle, I will pull out another 30ml bottle so I'm not pulling out big bottles of nic and leaving it out.

I probably have enough nic base to last me at least 20 years, if not closer to 30 years with me vaping at 4mg and that's if I don't hook some of my friends up with bottles of juice. I have 2 liters of 100mg 100% VG and about a 1/2 - 3/4 of a liter that a friend gave me when he quit vaping which is 100mg 50/50 VG/PG, all broke down into those brown bottles sitting in my deep freezer.

We evacuated to a friend's house because ours is a mobile. I was so worried the house would be destroyed along with my vape stash I have been accumulating over the past almost 5 years. Most aren't available anymore because they are old school.

Still no power but no real damage. I would rate B because it may take days for power to be restored. Thankfully we have a generator for fridge, lights, fans and well , but it's hot.

I trust my old house but never-the-less I put my best mods in a big concrete fire safe..Good for you for staying with friends. I would never weather a storm in a mobile.

Donna was the one I'll never forget. I was 3 or 4 and still remember it like yesterday. Camille too.

Wow, that's reaching back of the file cabinet.. Donna hit in 1960
my math says you were 2 years old then.

Basically Ditto except I don't bother with the amber bottles 'cause the stash sits in the dark freezer.
I use amber 30-60 Ml Boston rounds for the actual juice.
I replace liters as I decant them so I always have 5 liters+ just in case.

The only reason I use the amber bottles is mainly for the nic I have sitting out while I'm using it. I got the others in amber bottles cause it was easier to just add them to my cart in the sizes I need instead of finding other colored or clear ones on the website.

The nic I'm using sits in a small bell bar, usually in the dark fridge (unless I forget it)
But the main reason I opted for using small bell jars (on @kross8 's recommendation BTW)
is that the wide mouth makes it easier to suck the nicotine solution out with a hypodermic,
the shallow depth helps get it all out.

I also have a few blue boston rounds and want some greens. I found some lovely black bottles I want
Are we hijacking this thread? Darn DIYselfers...LOL

Lol, yeah we did hijack the thread. My bad guys. Good idea on the wide mouth. Never thought bout that. May have to get me a couple of them. That would make it easier to to get the syringe in and out and get it all. Good idea @kross8!

We're an A here as well.

I'm using that new stuff made by Star in all my stuff now it's an enzyme that they claim lasts 2 years so far all of my stuff runs better with it and a plus is it's not a solvent even my bike likes it and it doesn't like anything but fresh 92 oct.,It's in a blue bottle if anyone goes looking for it

Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment

Same stuff I use. It's great and you sure don't need to use a lot of it. 1oz to 5 gallons.

It's absolutely amazing some of the old things I remember. It's also amazing how many new things I don't remember. I think my rememberer is messed up a bit.

Here are some photo's from @Uncle .........the damage to his apartment complex.......

 

[Rossum]

Just had a report regarding my place. The inside of the house is in good shape. We got at most a gallon or two of water in through the sliding door. Since the floor is tile on slab, no big deal.

Next time, I'm gonna have a case of DAP Seal & Peel in stock, ready to deploy.

Still no power though...

 

[Iffy]

Casa Iffy rates an A-. Just one pool cage screen panel corner hanging: neighbor's oak tree limb caught it.

Irma sure did some massive pruning in our area!

No power, cable nor web. But we'll do just fine.

So glad for the updates!
