Joy! Joy!

[vernhall]

There's joy in Mudville today!! Got a large (for me) order in from TPA this morning!! Lots and lots and lots of flavors to concoct delicious vapes with!

And, as a peace-offering, I whipped up 5 little batches (Cherry, Cherry/Choc Mint, Apple Mix, PB/Vanilla, and Tutti-Frutti) for my loving wife to vape to deflect a little of her angst from my receiving said order... I swear I'm beginning to sound a little like her when I start attempting to explain how I've really saved us tons o' cash by spending money on an ever expanding collection of flavors because, of course, they were all on sale -- trust me...

Next project for the morning (running as we type) is a quickie speed-steep using our Ultra-Sonic Cleaner of the batches I made this AM and a few I did up a couple of days ago but didn't get around to speed-steeping at the time...

Busy, busy, busy...

Ahh,the old wife explanation.Been there and hate it.My wife still smokes and refuses to try to convert to ecigs.Every time i try to get her to try them,she tries to get me back on analogs.Finally i lost that battle,needless to say,she never knows when i make a purchase.Yea,yea i know that's wrong but i look at it as i don't have to go thru,when are you going to give them ecigs up routine.

Hey, man, anything that keeps you off analogs is worth it! I wouldn't go back for all the rice in China. I am lucky, though, my wife is at least 'trying' to give them up. She has mostly -- still hits a few each day (5 or 6) and that's down from the 2 packs a day we each went thru before we found the e-cigs... So, it's all good... Still, I'm the real convert and zealot - she just likes the juice I make up for her and doesn't want to learn how to do much other than vape it...

Nice to see she is trying,you should see it when me and my wife go out,i think to the grocery is the worst,i'm quietly vaping and she is smoking.At the same time using every button on the door to open every window in the car as she says,that chit stinks.I try to keep quiet and keep vaping but it seems like the little situations seem to cause the ecig/analog go around.

How fun, Vern. I don't tell Hubby about every purchase

It's so hard to quit when you're around other people that are doing it. After being cig free for over 2 years, my dad picked it up again almost immediately after his wife did. I was livid. She had quit over 10 years. She justified by blaming her weight on the fact that she wasn't smoking. After over a year of smoking again, she hasn't lost a pound. SO now she's overweight and killing her lungs. SMH

I've just purchased a bottle of "real cig" concentrate from VZ. I got high hopes for this flavoring seeing that it does have a following that approves. Just wanted to hook a brother up and maybe help the woman of the house get into vaping. I'll stop by again and give some feed back about the real cig flavor when it gets onto my mixing table and into my PV.

That would be nice if i could get her to switch.Not sure i am ready to get into that with her again though.When i mix up a batch of juice i keep trying to come up with a recipe that might simulate a real analog but i have had no luck.I have had alot of throw aways and a few upchucks(only small 2ml batches to test)at the first vape but nothing that would convert her.

A yes, racing home after work to beat the wife to the mailbox, unpack, make all the items look like they have been there forever and destroy packaging evidence... CIA has nothing on us

Right,so right you are.Or having to swallow the evidence whole as shes coming thru the door.

If you don't mind my asking, why won't she try?

Believe me, I'm not judging her. My husband and I both tried to quit years ago- he did and I didn't. I couldn't. This is the closest I'll ever come to quitting and I'm thrilled!

I have family members and friends in the same boat- won't even try it and it sort of baffles me. Oh well. I figure if they want to they'll ask. I just don't get why they won't at least try it.

It's fine no problem,she just thinks that vaping is not natural and smoking is,that's the bottom line.I mean heck,...before i started vaping i thought the same thing.She refuses to give in though,and believes that it's harmful,mainly because of all the bad press we are getting from the FDA.No matter what i show her,tell her it still does not help.The length of time i have been vaping and have my taste back,smell back,basically all of my senses that were lost to analogs,she won't try it.

Weight has nothing to do with smoking - and I should know being somewhat portly. Weight is the result of one of two things -- either genetics or eating too much while exercising too little. Usually the latter in our modern society...

Just reporting back with the " VZ real cig" flavor. The flavor is spot on. Taste just like a real analog minus the burning smoke flavor. I've been really enjoying VZ's black and mild cigar flavor. Was a little weak at the recommended 2.5% and mixed it at 3%.
