I wonder WHY she would say that? Did she give a reason? From what I read nic is not bad for you, and helps brain function in some studies. It is naturally in stuff we eat. IF there is some reason then I would do zero nic, but there are doctors that support vaping, then there are the ones that think it is still as bad as smoking. I have vaped zero unflavored, and I think in a pinch I could get used to it, but until then I will stick with my 18mg/ml.

Not sure Burnie :confused: At the time, I didn't question it, but I did mention to her that there is a way to either cut down or cut out the nicotine. I guess I should've asked her why. :oops:
You're right, my other Doctors don't even question it. They more or less condone it!

I just posted this on the Focal site and wanted to get as much feedback as possible:
Just curious. Recently I went to my doctor for a physical and she said that she wishes that I would tone down or quit, on the nicotine. What actually happens if you do Zero nicotine? I usually do 18mg... This never crossed my mind before, but I would like to know what vaping would be like without nicotine

If she actually had a good reason, she probably would have phrased it differently. Like: 'You really NEED to cut out the nicotine because of . . . (whatever medical condition you have that nicotine is effecting).'

Nicotine does cause problems with some conditions. But, it HELPS with even more conditions.

Yes, someone posted a similar answer today and it made sense. She prescribed me all of these blood tests and a cardiogram just to see if everything is okay. She's very thorough. I mentioned to her that I sometimes get (what I call) small palpitations. So that was probably the reason for her to say that. We don't know yet, at this point because I didn't get the tests done yet. I told her if I must, then there is a way to lower the content in the juice (or, as we all know here to eliminate it, which I don't want to do unless it is mandatory. But I feel fine. Actually, it usually happens after a night of drinking I noticed. Anyhow, I'm getting those tests done this week. :)

Hey, as far as I can see, I have Vapemail out for delivery. Remember the heads we talked about from Fasttech? They're on the way ALREADY! :mail:
Love Vape Mail :banana:

That is so True :)

Well I have a problem with Hybris #2 :(
Was working on restringing some reels for fishing next weekend, bent over, BaM, fell out of my pocket on the garage floor. I was worried it broke the IBT glass tank, but it was fine. Slid the tank back down (had slid up 1/2 inch), but it wouldn't fire. Checked the Ω and it was reading 0.0Ω. I am thinking the carto or something went bad. Tried another, same problem. Well long story shorter, somehow it pushed down the center pin far enough that it was shorting. I wiggled it up and it is now working again. I really should use a lanyard. :facepalm:

Messing around with the Inkjet Vinyl I just got in, wrapped an EGO. Need to get a new razor blade, cutting the windows was not easy. :facepalm:

What did I tell you about that lanyard?:laugh: Glad it's working again. Now we know it can withstand concrete. :facepalm:
Still waiting on the mailman. He usually comes around 4 on weekdays, but who knows on Saturday. :D

Vape mail.. New evods (1 glass 'the blue one') I'll have to play around with the glass one to see what is interchangeable and what's not.

Ok where did you get that beauty ring? I got one of them in a carto tank buy from the classies, can't find them like that, or at least I think it is, but the picture is small. Looks like the one in this post http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ybris-vv-mod-owners-group-5.html#post14040116

On another note I fubared Hybris #2, Dropped it AGAIN. :facepalm:
Did try the lanyard, but it is really too short. What happened is when I dropped it, the insulator for the positive connection split, and was causing a short, 0.0Ω. I pulled the pin out, then worked out the split insulator, found another, not the right size, split also (but just a little), worked it on, and it is working again. I'm going to need to find an insulator/o-ring to fix it better, and I "Really Need To Quit Dropping It". :facepalm:

No, there isn't a beauty ring on it and I know, the pic is so small.:facepalm: That glass evod's base is longer than the originals. Do you mean this kind of ring (on the right)?

This is a threaded one from ECBlend & I have some unthreaded ones from Volcanoecigs.

Didn't even think of it being longer, but could not tell in the picture. I have those rings but the other I have is different, a little smaller and no lip at the top. I have some different one's on my current FT order, but no update since the 17th when it was shipped overseas, should get to NY in the next day or so.

I know... Sorry about all the small pics. ECF really downsizes them, because they're actually huge photos.:laugh: I guess I'll have to break down and get an account on youtube. They don't collect all kind of info from you do they (like facebook)?? I still tend to be cautious with public sites. :blush:

I don't think so, but then again you can use fake info. :laugh:

Well Hybris #2 is still working fine after last nights repair, so I decided to wrap it today.

Hybris.Wrapped.Blue.Skull.jpg


The new removable Vinyl is a pain in that it does not stick good (so you can remove it), and the end keeps wanting to come up. I put a piece of tape on it to hole it down to get used to the curve. On the EGO I wrapped it with a rubber band, hoping once it gets used to the curve it will stick. If that don't work I will have to order some of the non-removable vinyl and just deal with fighting it off if I want to change the wrap.

Looks cool. Real nice colors! Glad you got it going again. If I get some extra time this coming week, I'll put my wrap on the #1.:D
I just got finished putting the new Faucet in. What a difference...operates very nice! The other one has some tighter cartridges in it and I couldn't get them out because they're like around 20 years old (the Moen lady told me, after giving her the model number). So she sent me a brand new one (like I mentioned before) and it even came with new drain parts which are gleaming now! :laugh:

The people over at FC are very nice. I love all those mechs (man, cosmetically they look so dang great!), but I can't seem to pull the trigger on one because I just can't find the time on working on them (building and so forth), plus I don't know why but I do not have the patience that I use to have when I was a little younger. I learned how to rebuild our little evods during winter and ended up quitting real quick, so all I do now is dry burn them and stick another piece of rayon in and I'm good to go. (The rayon is unbelievable! I'm liking this stuff!:vapor:) I have a ton of them and I really don't know why they say they only last a couple weeks, because I never had one, to this day, go bad on me. :)

I got a Mech, just to get one, don't use it much. Got the Stingray X and Kayfun Lite V2 from FC. It looks and works good, but I just don't use my 18xxx mods that much. Most of the time it is a Hybris and carto tank, but today I have been using it as it came with the EVOD (except I am using an IMR battery). I do rebuild EVOD's, I can tell the difference in a dry burned coil and a new one, and it's not that hard to do anyway. I get a collection that need built and do a bunch at the time. I even boil my carto's to clean them, waste not, want not. :D
