wow.. y'all were chatty today.. 8 pages since this afternoon.. and I missed the feeding of the troll again too.. gawd I need to just keep this keyboard in my lap to keep up!

re vanilla butternut juice.. I like it.. it's kind of earthy like squash but sweet and vanilla too but I like the squash food too. Not an ADV for me but I have so many that I work on all day.. there are just not enough batteries and tanks to use everything all day every day.
spaghetti squash.. not so much (being as nice as possible there)
I love buttercup squash.. dark orange.. a bit dryer than butternut .. more flavor - also called komb..something or other.. kombucha maybe?

good luck on the job big Sam.. whomever is doing the hiring ought to know what generations have good work ethics and jump on the chance to experience it.. worst part of management - trying to find good help.

Is it just me or is daylight savings time just kicking the crap out of staying up late this week? Just 11pm here and I feel like it's 2 in the morning.. and don't even get me started on how early the sun comes in smacking my eyelids around... why we have to (insert expletive of choice here) around with the clocks is beyond me.. we have the technology....

teaberry is in my ADV lineup.. I put it in a full size T3 instead of a mini.. darn juice turned dark.. I keep reaching for my cafe coffee and get my teaberry.. tastebud freakout! I like both but man.. when expecting coffee... egad

um, Opal...has your av been drinking??? :ohmy:

thanks, and hopefully some good will come out of tomorrow. if not, there's always the next day! ;)

I caught a femoral clot when they put a stent in a cardiac artery.
They cut on a Thursday (about 6").
I got a ride home on Friday.
I hate hospitals...
...and nurses that say "you'll feel a slight tug" then rip the catheter out like she's trying to start a lawnmower

the doctor who put the 2 stints in me in August was a :censored: artist, man! i was dreading the scars from his work, but they were almost invisible. i remember being conscious, though highly drugged (i asked for a little something extra so i wouldn't have panic attack), but he was smooth as silk. good sense of humor, too! as i was getting ready to be wheeled out, i was looking at all of his monitors. i, being the usual wise guy, said, "oh, i want a dvd of that!" 2 minutes later, he hands me a dvd! touche!

my room was right at the nurses station. i had them find my backpack, then closed the curtains and the door...and vaped away the rest of the day! :vapor:

Well I was working on catching up for awhile then finally gave up.

Welcome back, Denrock! Dark Chocolate needs a *long* steep. When you first get it, it smells like dirt and doesn't taste much better. At about two weeks, it starts to get vapeable. Mine's got about a month on it now, and tastes like Hershey's syrup. It gunks coils very quickly though, so I'm using it as a mixer at the moment. Cola is a *really* nice vape, one of my favorites so far. It's almost clear when you get it, and perfectly vapeable, but it'll turn a light lime green when it's ready (and a hot water bath will get it 95% of the way there if you're so inclined. I like both.

thanks. the woman i talked to today seemed very thrilled to talk to me. i just hope i impressed her enough that when i explain how sick i am that it doesn't ruin it.

Oh, do I know that feeling. Very best of luck, Sambuca.

People always ask me to accompany them to doctor's appointments, cause translating medgeek to layman is something I'm pretty good at... no great feat, since being able to do that is kind of a life skill for me, lol. Most of my family and friends know better than to try to "empathize" with me (in quotation marks because I don't mind real empathy at all), but acquaintances... well...

From a professor who was asking me to crawl up a spiral staircase to her office:"I know exactly how you feel. I broke my ankle and had to use a wheelchair for *three months.*"
My reply: "Wow, that's rough. I've had my legs surgically broken several times and they're now held together with enough hardware to build a Dodge Charger."

From a "friend" who doesn't know me near as well as they think they do: "So how's your recovery going? I had that walking pneumonia once, it really sucks. Although I guess it sucks more when you can't walk, lol!"
My reply: It wasn't quite walking pneumonia as much as two weeks in the ICU, but I'm recovering well now."
Them: Oh my god, why didn't you call me?
Me: Well, talking was off the menu, so to speak, and texting my mother my room number caused me to lose focus on breathing to the point where I passed out, so... a phone tree wasn't really one of my main concerns."

I don't talk like that normally - I figure I'm still here and that's all that matters - but man, that fake empathy... makes me want to say, "*I* know I'm a living bundle of medical catastrophes, but I manage just fine, so you don't have to compare your hangnail to my abysmal lung capacity or the fact that my legs don't work. It's really not necessary. I can relate to you like a normal person, let's talk about something we *actually* have in common."

But I *don't* say that, cause I've had less auspicious beginnings to friendships that evolved into great ones. That friend who helped me fix the van? When I was 12, his opening line to me - before even "hi, my name is - " was:

"Uh, I was going to ask you if you wanted to sit with us at lunch, but... uh... I didn't know if... people like you..... eat." (This might have been more understandable if I *looked* like I had any major medical issues, but I don't - I'm lucky enough to look very "normal," and I use a sports chair - at the time, I played four wheelchair sports, which he knew... thus making this one of the *weirdest* assumptions I've ever gotten! I told him I wasn't a vampire or a zombie, so yes, lunch sounded good...)

So I wish you an open-minded encounter, Sam, with a minimum of awkward assumptions and weird moments... though it sounds like you've got the weird moments handled. :lol:

I love when laziness leads to an amazing vape... just finished a tank of Blood Orange left over from last night. Blood Orange is fairly clear, so the atomizer was holding up fine and didn't need a wash. That being the case, I really didn't want to pull everything apart to change flavors. I have other tanks, of course, but they're full of other stuff. I'm having a crappy mobility day, so standing at the sink long enough to wash out something citrus would most likely result in needing a nap!

That being the case, I went digging for things that might go well with the vestiges of Blood Orange. Pulled out some Pumpkin Spice and some Sticky Bun (for extra sweetness)....

Holy crap, it's amazing. Still a light vape, but a little sweet, a little spicy, and just a touch orangey. About 80% Pumpkin Spice, maybe five drops or so of Blood Orange left in the tank, and the rest Sticky Bun. Mmmmm.

Ok so this month I pulled the trigger on 2 gameplans I gonna try...lowering my nic and my amount of flavors. This month Im trying 6 mgs nic and I just got 3 50 ml bottles. But I covered the main flavors...got me a Faux Hawk for my menthol...caramel apple for my sweet and a DIY I threw together for my fruity vape.

Killin me. Went to place my order for a 50 ml bottle. Of ry4 and thug juice and there out of thug juice. I don't have the money to order separately when they get it back and I don't have much juice left! Bah. Anyone know when they're restocking

Sorry, permafrying, no idea about a restock. What do you think of the RY4? I'm on the hunt for a good one, but the mixed reviews on mbv tobaccos have me nervous about pulling the trigger.

I love it. Comparable to vapor renus ry4 but more throat hit. Light tobacco flavor not nutty at all a great vanilla and caramel mix it's definitely sweet. Definetally a coil gunker but well worth it. If you want a true tobacco flavor it won't fit but if you want something as satisfying it definitely fits atleast Imo.

Good to know, thanks! I'm tapped out for this month, but I'll add it to next month's order.

I edited a little and cool. I was really surprised by it honestly.

I need to find something to replace the thug juice for my order though lol. Especially after realising thug juice will crack my evod tanks. I need to. Invest in some new tanks.

Keep trying to order a hypertank but the site keeps saying my billing address is wrong...... Ridiculous! I guess that means I need an rda and another choice of juice......

It is my favorite RY4 and one of my ADV. I DIY mine at 8% 50/50.


I DIY their RY4 at 4% in my 60/40 -12 base and find it to be as good as the typical RY4 and extremly close to Volcano RY4 . I have read that some use 10 to 20% which I find to be way to much for most tobaccos but not all.

YES, it tastes like pink! hehe I"m glad you like it!



WHAT? ok, i didn't steer you wrong on the pink champagne, so go try moo juice. I have been mixing moo juice and strawberry shortcake for like 3 weeks now? It's a must have.


AND! It seems both my Reo's have shipped today! So I"m very excited that by monday i think I should have them both and my rbas!

Ok you twisted my arm. Moo Juice it is. But just reordered all my staples so need two more to go with it lol. Already have strawberry shortcake. And how long does the pink need to steep to be at its best?

so, i figured since i was getting new toys, i needed new drip tips for them, since i only have really the standard pt2 one, and a cheap plastic one. This lady makes the cutest tips!

Here is her etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackRaventips
And this is what I'm getting, one in pink, and one in purple: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/155692103

just thought i'd share in case someone was looking to support a smaller business, and for something completely unique!
Love the tips Teena makes! There's a ton of them in the pink girly thread. At some point want a custom from her. You picked cute ones!

Oh, I've randomly checked out that thread, but didn't realize people knew of her stuff! I saw from her sold tips that AiV bought a bunch awhile ago :)
I think think pink is good fresh out of the box, and at like weeks just gets more, potent? stronger? IT"S GOOD. hehe
Have you had whipped cream?! try it. hmm and another.. what else. OH DUH SPURBURRY!!

funny how that works! i did the same thing with the provari. bought my first and loved it so much i bought a second within 2 weeks. guess it doesn't quit cuz now i'm thinking the mini reo is kind of cool too.....can't wait to hear how you like yours!
Haha yeah, totally on a whim. It's funny, my bf and i were talking about xmas presents, and I had told him I wanted a new "one of those" as he calls them, for xmas. Last night I was like wellllll......since i just bought two-how about we skip that. i was gonna have him give me money for a provari. lol so maybe i'll be like, WELL if you haven't got me anything, i need another one of these weird box things. Lol

But I covered the main flavors...got me a Faux Hawk for my menthol...caramel apple for my sweet and a DIY I threw together for my fruity vape.

I recently did the same thing. I'm still vaping a fair amount of 12 mg, but my adv's im either just going 6mg, or doing half and half for 9ish. That seemed to help me, and i'm not feeling like it's so much of a drop in nic. :)
