I tried adding an avatar, but it says "remote file too large"!

I've tried cropping and editing in photobucket, but it's still not letting me! HELP!!

The avatar has to be 150 x 150 pixels or 200 x 200 pixels for a supporting member.

Yeah, I saw that. Getting it below 50 x 150 pixels wasn't the problem. It was getting it below the 5kb that was the problem. (or was that 5mb?) I'm afraid that I'm not "savvy" enough. I tried cropping the photo, but the kbs kept going up instead of down.

Try copying the pic to your computer and saving it as a .jpg file.

That didn't work. It was already in .jpg format. I went back to photobucket and this time it worked. And I also used the correct "code" for sharing.

You have an avatar now, chimney. BTW, glad I could help you with the Ego info last night. You also might want to look into a 510 passthrough or a "sit and go", for when you are at the computer. I like the sit and go, because I can unplug the battery from the usb cord and take it with me.

Welcome to the ECF.

I broke down and ordered the 510 passthrough last night! This "hobby" is starting to cost a fortune. (But then so did smoking...) I'm hoping to "break even" but it probably won't happen for another month or so. I also ordered another battery today ...Joye eGo Battery and a converter. Along with the passthrough and the juices that I've ordered, I think that I have hit my "budget" for the month. I'm living on a "fixed income", and I just can't keep this up. But, at the same time, this is the first time in over 37 years that I've ever wanted to kick the cigarette habit, and actually felt like I could do it.

P.S. Next week should be party time at my mailbox!!

I started vaping just to cut down on my 46 year smoking habit. At the end of this month, it will have been a year since I stopped smoking. The vaping expense may be a bit steep at first, but once you have what you need, the cost will settle down. It's cheaper and healthier than smoking, that's for sure.
Good luck, chimney !!!

Oh, wow! Another hero!!

Lol. Well, I wouldn't go that far !!! I will tell you though, my morning cough went away after a few days off of cigs, I breath much better, my sense of smell is better and I have more stamina now. I smoked and vaped for two months, before I gave up cigs altogether. Don't rush it, but if you can do it, get rid of those cancer sticks !!!!

I'm doing the vaping and cigs together as well. ATM. But I do NOT want to go back to cigs only at this moment. As soon as I get better "equipment" and juices, (this week I hope) then I'm off of the cigs for good!
