Natural Tobaccos

[shatner]

Shatner,

This requires a little bit of cooking but not a lot...

Onion fried hamburger with either fries or potato chips. You can bake most of the frozen fries to avoid the mess with oil...

Cut two very thin slices of white or yellow onion... three if you really like a lot of it
salt and pepper one side of the patty... if you have liquid smoke put a bit of that on it... put this side down on a pan. salt and pepper the other side ( add more liquid smoke if available ) ... place onion slices on top of patty.

Now if you have a paper plate that will fit over the pan... cover the pan ( limits the splatter ). Cook for 4-6 minutes ( depending on patty size ). Using a spatula ... press the onions into the patty sqeezing out the extra juices ( just the opposite if doing a regular hamburger where you want all of the juices )... flip it over and finish cooking for another 4-6 minutes.

I usually use just ketchup and mustard and nothing else. I also prefer smaller ( 1/8 lbs ) patties for these and make a couple ( or more )... it makes the patty to onion ratio better that way ( and they cook faster )

That sounds good. But I eat oatmeal, berries, a lot of almonds or a spoon of peanutbutter, a ground turkey and field greens lettuce wrap, chicken salad with field greens, salmon and asparagus, lots of broccoli and ground turkey. Between 4 and 6 small meals/day with a 1/4 cup of almonds or pistachios for a snack if I'm hungry.

When I say cheat meal, I mean go to a gastropub, have a huge filet, mashed potatos, mac and cheese if available and possibly a piece of cake afterward. Maybe a beer if the selection is good. If I have a beer I'll take the cake home for later that night.

I don't always break my diet.

But when I do, I break it hard!

I often muddy this thread up with mentions of arti-baccos, and I apologize if anyone doesn't like that, but where else am I going to get good advice from people with a lot of the same tastes in tobacco as me?

So I'm at it again, this time with apolloecigs. I've never really looked into Apollo, but seeing that they are offering a free 10ml juice with 99 cent s&h right now, I looked. Of course they have an RY4, so I peaked into the Big RY4 RU and see it comes highly recommended. So going with that.. until I see they offer a Turkish (probably synthetic) called Sahara. Now I'm in a quandary, and need to know which road to take.

And that's how they get you. LOL

That's awesome and I'm glad to hear that's how tight their ship is run. Sometimes I wonder if I'm in the right line of work.

Got invited to go back out with SWAT for another fun gun day. They LOVE their new carbines. They were saying something about some active duty Marines showing me some real ish. I thought of you the second I was told. Honestly, I'm a bit intimidated. I know I can't shoot for crap compared to career marines.

I'm also hearing through the grapevine that the sniper on the SWAT team wants a precision rifle for work. I hope it's true, because that's the gun building I really love.

Anyone can learn to shoot with precision and accuracy. I (along with umpteen other Marines) learned how to shoot quite well in only 2 weeks of rifle range training - I was calling shots from the 500 yard line in the prone position (Head, left shoulder, neck...). You can certainly learn to shoot that well also.

What's the guy looking for in that sniper rifle? .50 cal? 7.62? Just curious...

 

[DirewolfUSMC]

Trust me folks...there are far worse things in life, but...

...it would be kinda nice if Nick (GeJ) could put labels on his juice that don't wear off and small bottles that have bigger squirt holes. I'd be happy to delay my shipment from its customary 18 minute turnaround to 28 minutes if it makes a difference.

Carry on.

I asked him about the labels once. He said they didn't want to invest in a label printer for whatever reason, probably just cost. They usually put tape over the label so the writing doesn't wear off though. As far as the bottles go, he pre-punches them for walk-in customers with a really tiny allen wrench...simple fix.

Hey rdsok!!! That's a mighty fine banner I got for my sig.

Thanks!


And I just met my limit of free bandwidth on Photobucket. I had to pay for more. But now I have 18GB left.

So I am on the record saying that at 3-4 weeks old, the Vita Bella is good, tasty, but the vanilla custard thing is almost too sweet for me and I am getting too slight of a tobacco, if any, for my taste. Week 5 the tobacco base was a bit firmer, it sizzled my tongue a bit and I know it was there. The custard thing is still pretty sweet...but...in spite of myself...I keep turning to it. I had 5 different pipes loaded 2 nights ago, for instance, on the couch with me, and I vaped the VB almost exclusively. Last night I didn't even fart around and other than taking some pulls of NETCOM BS Mango Vanilla it was all VB. And now I am almost out of the sample Jerms sent me and panicking. I am ordering a full 30 ml today and then going to try and let it steep for at least 6 weeks before busting it out.

Yes, I may becoming a convert in spite of myself. I cant put my finger on exactly WHY, but I keep reaching for it and now I am actually looking forward to it all day...and I am vaping the best NET's money can buy at work...and was trying hard NOT to like this stuff...so this says something for sure.

I didn't see your order - I was hovering over Luigi all afternoon.

 

[DirewolfUSMC]

well...there you go. I gotta get a bottle and put it away...but I fear not having any available for a while. Hopefully Jerms send a bit more to me in return for the 47 bottles I am shipping him

Which reminds me, if you are waiting for NET samples from me, it is going to be Monday. My bottles finally came in but wife had an emergency and thus unplanned for spinal fusion Monday, so I am barely getting to work around caring for her and raising my 2 babies solo while she is in hospital...let alone vape mail. I will get this stuff out Monday come hell or high water.

I have a 30 ml. of VB at 24mg. that's got a good 6 week steep in it if you're interested.

You're welcome...

It was odd that I thought of the last two ( which I liked most ) up after my brain had already died... sometimes you never know when you'll come up with something

 

[DirewolfUSMC]

It could be... thought I doubt the cow thinks there was anything natural about the process

As long as it's not that test tube hamburger crap they made.

That's hilarious! I wish I had a cool vape shop I could set up an FFL type 7 machine shop next door and hang out with all day. Nah, that wouldn't be imposing. Not saying you're imposing on them, DWUSMC.

Sometimes my best work is in the shop at 4am when I'm dead tired. Mentally and physically. The human mind is a wonderful mystery.

Thanks Jerms. I got the Turkish. What the hell...for a buck.

Have they thought of a pre steeped NET line? Small inventory, 5-10 of each flavor. Always having replacements steeping. I know it's a process, but I think if you did it on a small scale and a limit of one bottle/customer/day would be doable.

Edit: I don't know if that's an appropriate amount of theoretical inventory. Interpret it as an example.

Your link's not working.

Nah, they are really all good people there. I wouldn't impose upon them if I wasn't liked there as well. I like going there and hanging out and occasionally I bring in food or Marine Corps swag (like today) and pretty much just soak it all in. I did forget to make them the watermelon salsa I said I would bring in, but there's always next week.

I've never asked them about that, but - maybe I will start doing it myself.

I'll go buy a bunch of NET's from them and steep them here at my house, then sell them at a premium.

Right? If I had the funds, that free offer would have turned into an at least 3 bottle order.

Anyone have a link for the Apollo deal? I like the company's juices, but can't find the sale.

Also, I'm going to use this baby for some NET vaping this weekend. I'm excited to crank it up to 15 watts on a low-ohm coil.

 

[EleanorR]

Okay, I just placed my first QnJ order (the sample pack, 12mg, 70/30 pg/vg):

Godz'Nilla
Humpback
Proudest Monkey
Vanilla Custard (so sue me . . . )

All you QnJ fans, any words of wisdom re steep times on those juices once they arrive? Thanks!
