I'll take the blue and red if you don't want them!! I'm still thinking about The Commitments and 'Mustang Sally'!!.....sheesh that really made me miss some good ole Kansas City hard rock'n blues!!!.....wonder if that movie's on Netflix cuz I think I need to watch it later!!

I guess I'm a little superficial because I really don't like the colors much at least not the ones that are left and it stopped me from making the purchase in spite of the incredible deal. I do need more tanks though. It may just have to wait, however. Truthfully I can't afford any of it right now anyway. Stupid holidays and buying gifts for everyone else :grr:

Hey so what's vapor tongue? Is it like a coating-type-feeling that robs whatever you're vaping of its flavor? If so, I'm there. Really need some other flavors.

it's when you can't taste your juices....I start vaping pluid and fix that up real quick. Switching flavors helps If I vape my favorite juice too much it changes once I switch and switch back I'm in heaven again

I'm pretty sure I want a dog....

You have a serious gift for story telling. I burst out laughing more than once. Of course, I'm a sucker for dog stories. Even as an adult, I cry like a baby when watching Homeward Bound. Like maybe THIS time Shadow won't come limping over the hillside. I wanted a golden for a long time. Now I just want them all. When I was a kid, we babysat a golden named.......Buddy! He was a lot like your big, drooly, dum-dum smarty pants was. We lived in a small apartment with an enclosed courtyard that contained, at its center, a swimming pool. Our unit and the others were directly on the edge of the pool. There was a place directly across from us that often kept their door open in the summer because it was hot, humid and seriously lacking in effective AC units. Anyway, Buddy came in and was so large and out of place he sent everything crashing down off of every surface in the house. To make matters worse, the items he sent flying usually landed in a large puddle of golden drool (they DO drool a lot). I *really* wanted to play fetch with this dog so, when my mother wasn't looking, I threw the ball into the courtyard for Buddy to fetch. It landed smack in the middle of the pool's deep end. I immediately saw how bad this could be and went to get the net to get the ball myself. Buddy was, of course, quicker than me and before I hit the threshold he was in the water. While I suppose his original intent was to fetch the ball, he was immediately distracted by the awesomeness of the swimming pool and went splashing through the water, me running around the edge vacillating between crippling laughter and begging him to come out. Eventually he did. With the ball. And fetch turned into a game of keep away. Buddy, in all his soggy glory, dashed out of the pool with the ball and went trouncing through the neighbors' apartment, clearing THEIR tables and stopping only to shake dog-water all over the home and the people inside of it.

Ultimately, they were great about it. No real harm done and a great memory for us all. I dare say they may have even appreciated the cooling spray of dog-water in the heat. My mother, ever the party pooper, was the only one with a problem. Didn't bother me nor Buddy, though. Me, Buddy and our 3 smaller dogs (include MY Buddy, hope you're keeping track) dog-piled onto the sofa and I had the most AWESOME nap ever.

Yep. I'm there. Perhaps it's the crazy vaping in combination with the fact that I have ONLY ONE FLAVOR. I'm ready to stomp my feet on the ground like a 4 year old. Why did the very first order have to be late?

Screw you, Murphy. And your little law too.

Those names just made my heart nearly burst. Buddy was one of my very first dogs ever and I had him for 11 years before he passed from congestive heart failure and a heart murmur. Leo was my choco pibble, the one I had to put down. Whenever I lose a pet I always think I'll never be able to go through it again but life is just not the same without them. The pain is a steep price but it's worth every second that comes before.

It absolutely is... and what a coincidence with the names!

There are two reasons I haven't gotten another dog, and they're both of equal importance at the moment... the first reason is, service dogs need to be active - boredom is one of the worst things you can subject them to, and depending on the particular service dog, they might actually react *worse* to that than outright abuse... that wasn't true for Buddy, of course, who'd actually *experienced* abuse, but Leo would far rather be in trouble than bored for three seconds - boredom was its own form of torture for him. Since I can't know where on the spectrum a particular dog will fall (and I don't get to pick), I want to be a little more mobile, physically and vehicularly, before I get another dog.

The second reason is, as deep as the bond is with a pet, the bond with a service dog goes even deeper - it has to, when they're helping you get dressed in the morning and they're at your side every minute of every day. I knew I was ready for a "new dog" after Buddy when the thought of a new dog didn't just make me wish I had Buddy back... because in order to be part of a working team, you have to be able to make that dog your *life* for a good three months.... everything revolves around the dog. You eat when the dog eats, sleep when the dog sleeps, and spend every waking moment with them, in order to form that bond that you'll both need in order to trust each other... the human, to trust the dog not to bolt if they drop the leash, devour someone else's food, pick a fight with another dog, whatever... and the dog, to trust the human not to give them a command that would put them in any danger. Once you've put in that three months, it's all gravy... but it's a tough three months (the dog is usually missing the trainer they previously bonded with, and you're missing the ability to go to the bathroom without a furry version of a toddler standing in the doorway asking if you're done yet), and you can't do it emotionally unless you're a hundred percent committed to the *new* dog and his her own personal quirks... and I'm not quite there yet... I'd still be wanting/expecting the new guy to be like one of the old guys, and that's not any fairer to the dog than bringing them into a situation where they'd be bored half the day.

But it's getting better, slowly, and I do miss having a dog around. This is the longest I've ever been without one in my life, and it's genuinely weird. (We have a grumpy 20 year old Siamese who still misses both her "brothers" - every month or so she'll yell at me till I take their collars down and let her nuzzle them. *Not* that she would ever admit this to a new dog, or to the old ones if she could... she refused to come anywhere near me for weeks after the first time I brought Leo home, because I had *tricked* her... that was not *her* dog... and I'm sure next time around will be the same. :) She'll be around for a while yet... Saimese are notoriously long-lived. Unfortunately, ours is also a typically standoffish Siamese, so two shall be the number of the petting, and the number of pets shall be two. Excepting when it is in fact one, not forgetting the times when it shall be exactly three. She plays by cat rules. :)

It sounds like your Leo and my Leo would have gotten on well. :D

No massive hands for me, I don't see it possible for me to conceal the ego twist with the PTII mini even. It's far too long. A sleeve, I suppose? I haven't needed to be stealthy. I'm relatively nicotine free when not at home. Though today was my first day of working since my setup arrived and I did miss not having it there, so, may need to rethink that :)

I've got fairly small hands too, and I usually use an 808 battery for occasional stealth vaping... problem with that is, you have to use an adapter to make your non-808 gear compatible, which increases the length. An 808 battery and an 808 threaded minitank is very stashable though, if you don't mind going that route. I'm also looking at possibly getting a teeny tiny ego - 350mah I think it is, fits on a keychain - for emergency stealth vaping with a 510/ego tank. I'm in no great rush though, since I don't need to stealth vape that often.

id say animals CAN be more enjoyable than humans because they dont have a voicebox. :D

Nobody told my cat that, or my second dog... the cat has an entire lexicon and can (and will... oh dear god *will* she, whether you want her to or not!) hold entire conversations... and Leo thought he *was* a cat, so he had all kinds of weird noises that were actually efforts to meow/purr. Rarely barked unless I told him to, but was rarely quiet either... new people would ask, "why is he growling at me?" Me: "Huh? Oh, no, he's not growling, he's purring/hungry/wants to play/wants to show you something/is begging for ice." You'd think they would at least not be able to *argue*, but Leo and Cushla both did/do. :D

Hey so what's vapor tongue? Is it like a coating-type-feeling that robs whatever you're vaping of its flavor? If so, I'm there. Really need some other flavors.

Personally I am of the opinion that there is more then just what people call Vapors Tongue, there is also a school of thought that calls the condition Vapors Fatigue. I have encountered times where my tongue becomes a bit sensitive almost sore, I find this happens from time to time if I vape a lot of stronger types of fruit flavors over long extended periods, then there is the one in which you cannot taste the flavors that you are vaping as you sensory signals gets used to that particular flavor and you just can't taste that flavor for while, this is why it's a good thing to drink a lot of water and vary your juice flavors so your tongue doesn't get to the point where you can't taste it anymore. There is also times where depending on many factors that your mouth becomes dehydrated, this typically happens to me in the morning until I get more fluid in me as both PG and VG are humectants and can sometimes pull some moisture out of your mouth and tongue.

So, lots of water, changing flavors and not over vaping until you hydrate yourself will help reduce these conditions quite a bit.
