Lori I hope your day goes better than expected but I understand how those kinds of events can leave you a little down.
Thanks for leaving the trail for a Stormy & Haze.

Thank you sweetie. I just always get emotional, today was no different.
For those who do not know, my father is in the nursing home. He has Alzheimer's. He's been there for 6 and a half years.
He can still walk with assistance, he can sometimes eat on his own, other times he needs to be fed.
He ate his cake today on his own, scraped the extra icing from the plate with his fork, just like we do. Drank his coffee, just like anyone else, then just when I was thinking how nice and "normal" this was going, he picked up the paper plate and tried to take a bite out of it too.
He's still one of the "good" ones, on the wing. However, he really doesn't talk much. When he does, it's what they call "vegetable soup", basically gibberish. He still uses hand motions, facial expressions, and posturing when he is talking, so in his own way, he is till holding a conversation. He has no idea who I am, I think that I'm a familiar face to him, but he can't determine how/why he knows me. He still smiles this great big smile when I tell him goodbye, and that I love him, so I just pretend that he knows me.
(Even though he hasn't for over 8 years now.) I think he really enjoys the interaction, and seems to enjoy having someone to visit with.
So that's still comforting.
Sorry you & Dale aren't feeling good today!! Hope the meds help!!!
AND....I LOVE YOUR NEW MOD!!! LOOKS AWESOME!!
What isn't the matter?!?? Okay.... so I start out with cartomizers, and they work great! for a while. then it seems like I just can't keep from missing some molecule of space filling them and it is messy....then I am introduced to ce4 clearo's,which is YAY ....for a while. After a month, I discover that when I put them in my purse, they tip over. And when they tip over, they get liquid in the air shaft......equals leaking, fluid in the mouth, etc...etc... So then I buy a protank. And it is obnoxiously big on my little ego. Everyone laughs and says it looks like a crack pipe. So I try not to use it in public, and in the mean time I order some eVods. Yay! They work Great!!!!........for a while. *grrrr*. Soo.....I order lots of no name replacement heads, and some work, some don't. I clean them like a good girl, but after such a short time, it seems they fail no matter what I do...that is if they work at all! Add that to the face that for some crazy reason, I can't just switch an evod from one bat to another, because when I take it off, the head loosens somehow, then all of a sudden I am leaking into the new battery! Aaaargh!!! And some of my heads work on some of the evods some of the time. Some have short posts, some have long ones, some are skinnier, some are fatter, some fit, and some only seem to fit. None of them are the 1.8 ohms I ordered....heck, some of them are reading 4~!!! It is enough to drive a girl batty!!!! So then....I order some pretty protank mini's, and some "name brand" Kangerteck heads (lots....like 5 five packs) and wait. So they come in, and I am in vaping heaven, again. ....for a while. For some explicable reason, I am burning my coil heads left and right. Try as I might.... fill the tank, let it sit there for five forevers, take a couple of "test" (no power) draws, and start vaping. Mid way through my vape session, It all starts tasting burnt.
I have even tried a dripping atty. Which is great. Except that it sounds all gurgly until I get the semi dry hit that says I need to add more.
Bah.
I think I will eat a swiss roll and put some laundry away.
Yea!!! Welcome to VAPING!!
Just kidding.
Okay, I've been vaping for a year, my last stinkie was Sept 10th, 2012. Here is what I have found works best for me.
Your Protank and Evod tank, are basically the same technology, the protank is glass so you can use the juices that frost or break the plastic ones. (if you know all this already, just humor me....
) If you plan to continue to use the evod heads, you may want to learn to wrap coils. It's a pain in the rear, but my coils weren't lasting longer than a day, even rinsing/soaking, etc. didn't help much to extend their life. I like that fresh "new" taste.
From what I understand, the higher the sugar content of your juice, the faster it gunks up and kills the coil. When I say "kills" the coil, I just mean it gets gunked up and tastes like DOO DOO!!! It technically still works.
I had the very best luck with purchased replacement evod head coils from Sun-Vapers. Kanger brand....no generic. They're just better....don't care how much the others will save you.
Kanger Protank eVod atomizer heads in 1.8 2.2 and 2.5 ohm for $5.79Sun-Vapers.com
For cartos, Ikenvape. Period, end of story. I keep about 4 or 5 going at one time. I fill them and keep them in a Rx bottle with 1/2 of a cottonball in the bottom of the bottle to catch any drips. I rotate through those, then refill all at one time. I probably don't vape the carto as long as I could, but I don't want to fry them. Ikenvape cartos are awesome, and they will last longer than what you will probably be comfortable using them. I finally pitched a group that I know I'd used for 5 weeks.....just cuz it was grossing me out to think about how long I'd been using them.
I even tried cleaning them once, and it did work, and they still worked pretty good, but I still couldn't get past it being gross to still be using them after 5 weeks. Just me.
If you decide to jump in and rebuild coils, let me know, I'll be happy to scrounge up some links for you, and tell you about supplies.
They can be made for a FRACTION of what the replacement coils cost, BUT...it takes awhile to sit and wrap them. (But, others may be faster at it than I am too.)
.......whew........that' my story and I'm sticking to it. If there is newer technology, or better advice than above, go with it. I haven't been outside the Lurker thread here on ECF for months. If I venture out, I end up with the wantsies!
So, I just stay here.
Hello Lurkers.
I can't stay long now. Just sharing Day 6 of the avatar story.
