I love all the Dog stories. I love dogs. We have an inside Rottweiler that I got my wife for her birthday, this one has to be one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. We had to crate train her because of the breeds "detructive out of boredom" traits. But she thinks the crate is her own "cave" she has her stuffed animals she sleeps with and goes in one her own to sleep or nap. We only shut it up at night when we sleep and cant keep an eye on her. I have a friend who raises them so it was a freebie. I have another Rott that is not fit for inside, he was a wild country dog for a while before I got him and has no manners. He is more like a hyperactive 120 pound 3 year old with ADHD, very energetic and very destructive, with a really short attention span. We also have small collection of outside dogs, we have an acre that is fenced for dogs with a few large dog houses that are like small apartment buildings. I tend to collect the abandoned dogs you find out here on country roads. I keep the population below 5 in the yard and the only rule is they have to get along with the other dogs or I take them to the no-kill shelter. I rarely find small dogs, I don't think they make it for long when they get abandoned, there are coyotes out where we are.
I can not imagine anyone driving to the country to drop off a dog but it happens all the time, sometimes in entire litters. I have 2 no-kill shelters that hate to see me, if I am over my quota of the dogs I will take care of I will typically catch the abandoned ones and drop them off where they can find homes.

Don't worry I am not stealing someones "free roaming" country dogs. You can tell these are not being taken care of, they are usually close to starvation and have related conditions from the malnutrition. Some of these animals are really good natured and lovable. Some are feral dogs, kind of unfortunate, once they go feral they rarely make good companions.

vaping Coconut Cream Pie and trying to work out my next MBV order :)

You are *awesome*. I've wanted to start a free-range dog rescue like that. Gotta make the money to buy the land for it though. Looooong way away.

Oh - coffee heating plates use the same element that is used to heat the water to brew it - and since most coffee makers brew coffee between 198 and 202F, it's not going to work if you need a lower temperature. Sorry!

What temperature are we supposed to keep juice under? Other than not boiling it, I never really considered that it was a consideration. :oops:

Would not want it to go over 120 degrees.

Hey all, first time posting here.

The MBV French Vanilla is my one and only all day vape (took over a year to find a flavor I could appreciate). So much so that I ordered a 236ml bottle. Does anyone know of a drip-type cap I can use for this monster bottle to fill smaller bottles without fumbling with a funnel?

I'm surprised it didn't come with one already. They may have them available if you contact them.

Question guys......

Do you all think it would be safe to put juice btls in a Ziploc bag and set in coffee pot burner. I placed a thermometer in the water and it seems to be holding around 110...112. Anyone tried this before ???

EDIT update.....
The coffee maker I have is a Buun, so the heating element for the tank is not the same as for the "burner" where the finished coffee sits. The temp did eventually get over 130 so I stopped at that point and consider the test complete.

On to the next madcap idea.........getting a box with a lightbulb, cover bottles with a black cloth . Putting that box on some sort of vibrator would be superidealisticatious. :)

Don's lab gear and heads for laboratory..........muwahaahaahaa :)

Hey all. I'm leaving for CA to visit my mother in 2 days. Which means not only will I need to vape but I'll probably also need to up my nicotine content for the week haha. Something to do other than pull out my own eyelashes :blink:

Anyway, I haven't flown in awhile and I'm wondering about your experience with bringing vape gear on board. I'm not planning to actually vape on the plane (maybe the airport though) but I'm just not sure with all the carry on laws. I don't check baggage. I'm like a schizophrenic and I like to have all my stuff near me when traveling. Anyway, have you all had any problems with putting juice bottles in the plastic carry on bags? And the gear hasn't raised any suspicions at all by the TSA thinking it's some weird pipe bomb or crack pipe?

Of course, I could just travel juice-less (I think I can...I think I can...I think I can) and find a vape shop in the area. Which begs the question, anyone in the LA/SFV area of CA and recommend any vape shops? Hopefully I can make it in and out of one with just what I need and not a bunch of extraneous purchases. I'm broke already and a week without work I can survive only if I don't spend.

Eh I just like dogs. If they can eat Walmart Sam's Choice (it's cheap) and be nice to the other inmates I will pet them and throw things for them to chase every day, make sure they are fed. I figure it is better than getting hit by a car or starving to death. I even get them their shots, although I am cheap and do them my self.
I have the land because I do not like living near people :) I just have to keep the population down 1 acre can take 4 or 5 dogs without smelling. More than that I have to go on poop patrol. Yuck.

if you had any concerns, you could send some stuff priority mail. it would be there waiting for you. but i think some folks have posted here that they haven't had any problems flying.

If you put your gear in your carry on, you shouldn't have a problem. In Luggage bay, I would be concerned about temp and pressure. Maybe you should check with the Airline to be sure. :2c:

Sam had a good idea, mail it where your going :)

I didn't have any problems last time I flew. Here is what I did. Separated tanks and batteries, put tanks in the liquids bag along with a couple small bottles. Put my batteries in the tray with loose items (wallet, keys, etc.). The rest went in the checked bag. Made it through fine and reassembled and stealth vaped in the airport bar and the flight. Just don't forget anything in your pockets like chapstick. Whoops!

It counts for something. To you, it might be something you just do because you like dogs but to them? It's everything. I firmly believe that as the allegedly most evolved life (definitely a point of contention for me cause I think we seem to be de-volving) I believe we have a responsibility to care for the other living things on this planet. I believe this should be an innate desire not one that needs to be forced or even purposeful, just who we should be. So that fact that it just seems so natural and ordinary to you, that counts. Don't sell it short. You're a hero.
