I have seen this pain chart before and it totally cracks me up, not that I think pain is funny....just the illustrations and descriptions! I agree with the pain=cranky theory....at least for me. In any case, I, too, hope that Oz will come back because he adds a lot and is a seriously funny guy too. As for my absence, I've been on #6 on the pain scale for the better part of a month now, particularly the last few days, which is exactly why I haven't been around here. Go figure, 8 months after the shoulder replacement I get released from PT, other than at home, and released also from pain meds, and my OTHER shoulder blows out! So I go back to my surgeon and he says, yep, looks like a torn rotator cuff. Well, that was surgery number 2 (rotator cuff repair) on the other shoulder, the replacement was the 4th, and this feels a lot like the other one felt when it was bone on bone and there was nothing left but replacement to fix it.....I know....boring....blah blah blah.....getting older and getting osteoarthritis sucks and tomorrow I get to go out into the god forsaken cold to get an MRI on the left shoulder. Most likely looking at surgery on this shoulder now. That would be 5 shoulder surgeries in as many years. I shouldn't complain, because so many have it worse than me, but pain is relative, just like everything else, and this is *my* pain and it's tick'n me up. So think a good thought for me tomorrow...or I should say today, because it's going on 4am, making it 'today', and I should have been asleep 4 hrs. ago....but I can't sleep!!
ETA: I just saw that you're back Oz....yippee!!!! welcome back!
Oddly, I seem to have gotten the right amount of cotton on the first try (with thanks to about 5 different people's tutorials, which I picked the best bits out of to find something that worked for me). I'm just not sure if I *like* it yet.It definitely delivers more flavor, that's for sure.
Four to two is about what ended up in my tank (maybe a smidge closer to 50/50). It's good stuff.
I need to brush up on the initial process myself; the nitty gritty has changed since I did it, though the overall process is the same. *reviews* I know quite a lot about, but then, that's because no one will ever let me forget those.

i can honestly say i will probably never attempt to rebuild my coils after watching vapor envy the other night. tiny vapor spent the entire 2 hours trying to rebuild one of her coils and it looked positively grueling. so i opt out, thank you very much.
