NotCigs refugee thread

[salemgold]

I didn't really compare prices when I found CXT....I did look but wasn't alarmed....I'm gonna call and ask if I can pick a bottle up and hopefully get the old Dee discount....May ride too Charlotte later in the week for some flavor.....Pretty happy with the Nic I get there as well....I did like the way CXT extracts the nic and Wake Forest is a ding dang long way from China......

2 Aromamizers and one Nano Cap rolling this way tomorrow.....24/26/27 gauge TemCo coming in hot as well.....

NC passed some WHACKO VAPE LAW last year.....The local B&Ms claimed it would shut them down....They're still here....with crappy outdated stuff....Pretty sure the law is un-enforceable....Vape mail was supposed to be a no no or with some big azz tax....I don't remember....Raleigh can SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang old Mom....Wednesday I sat at the Doc's for 3 hours sos she could get checked out....some slight lung inflamation.....got the script as well and then i had to haul for my blood test....Awoke early yesterday by Mom wanting to go back too the Doc as the condition wasn't immediately gone....She hell hammered Sis and I and Sis ended up taking her too the emergency room where she was told the exact same thing her Doc said....I went by and checked her out last evening and got the beech fest about my ill Sis....Great....... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now she wants to roll up too Auntie's for a baby shower for a girl she hardly knows....Yeah....I've heard every excuse in the book for why she'll go if she wants.....Time to slow that roll

I just cut the ECF block....Looks like the Aromamizer will need a good bath prior due too machine oil and a reported metallic taste....Also reported to dump if laid on it's side....Time will tell....Bet this....I will stuff the Hades outta that coil and cover the juice channels with mops....Last go round with the wicks I trimmed the middle a little thinner...I then pulled that thin spot into the coil and WHAMMO!!!! Worked great and still rolling weeks later...I've debated stuffing the trimmed wick tails into the space on either side of the KSM wick but so far haven't done that...I do make sure I got Hella cotton blocking that hole...I ordered 2 Aromas in case it is the Holy Grail and if not and a KSM remains in rotation I will have spare parts galore....

Yesterday I traded my I Stick/dna Shark/ Mini Nauty w/4 coils for a complete minus title Suzuki Samurai with a blown clutch....I missed a like Sammy 2 weeks back that sold for $700...I offered $400....Parts is parts and I'm collecting....I intend to swap a VW 1.9 turbo diesel into a Sammy one day in the future....Easy 40 mpg and torque out the ying yang

I agree. there are alot of pros to buying the CXT. USA made is one very big one. Totally get your point.

My mom is opposite. She could be having a major health issue and we catch hell getting her to go to the doc. Thats how she ended up with colon cancer. All of the signs were there. She paid the price for her refusal to go to a GI doc. Her surgeon told us on the last visit that if she had a colonoscopy just two years prior, they would have been removing a polyp and not dealing with cancer. Did she learn from that or any other of those mistakes yet? Ummmm.... nope.

Cool that you traded vape gear for a car needed for parts

I was thinking that NC passed a law just to tax nicotine products but, I could be wrong.

Morning folks

Dee, I just have to chuckle and nod my head when you tell stories about your Mom...I SO get it

Salem, drive safely and hope your birds are ok!

Home, safe and sound drove home in blinding rain and it wasn't alot of fun but, it's done. Birds are good so far. Will take a while to get the blood work back. It was their yearly that we only do every two years at the cost of $750 for both birds. Cost more than human docs charge. But, we love them and do our best to keep them well.

Evening,folks

Evening

I know how you feel about your birds, Salem. Hoping they stay healthy and happy!

So...it's been almost a year and a half since my last cigarette, but I still had tobacco and rolling tubes in my closet. Tonight I packed it all up in the garbage bin that will be picked up by the city tomorrow morning. Sometimes letting go is a good thing

Bov, would you believe that I STILL have two packs of Salem cigs that I bought from Europe in my freezer? Bet they would be pretty darn nasty after 5 plus years Probably going to toss them next time I clean the freezer.

I still got that last 1/2 pack of Marlboro Lights in my tool box.....6 years old 2/15....

Carolina Xtract does not have counter sales....I'm sticking with RTS

Most of the tank offerings today will not fly on a ProV....Well my old ProV that is....I got 1.6s for the Kabuki and look forward too touring with the ProV again

Yeah the Digi is a nice charger......I've had one for about a year and got another on the way

I almost sprung for another IPV D2....Suspicious due to what I read the D2 may be getting a chip upgrade soon...Not that my chip isn't going along just fine

My fibrosus score is back....Minimal !!!! Doc voice mailed me while I was picking up dog food and treats....Not real sure he's gonna advocate another month of pills for me...2nd bottle of 29K pills to be here tomorrow...that may be all I get....Hope too start treatment after the New Year....Trust that I will call Gilead myself....My last conversation with them led me to believe going from 8 to 12 weeks required nothing but a call from my Doc...Tonight he said it looked like I was a cantidate for 8....12 IMO would be a lock....Let me test positive 6 months after completing 8 and that damn Doc best move too Pluto...That little bass turd has a very short memory

Saw some wall mounts for my Peavey speakers....$114 a pop.....Spent most of the afternoon hacking and welding up a much more durable set....Still raining here and just a short time under the welding hood and my lens was to fogged up to see....had to wing it a bit there...Little finishing up and some paint left....Then my speakers will be up off the floor and outta the way....Saving @ $250 was a plus....Now for my next trick I gonna need an assistant from the audience.....

Walk out with Spike with all this moisture in the air and a KSM will hurl an amazing cloud of vapor....I.m needing some sunshine and another dang Doc.....

Ha! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who kept their cigarettes! I had a little divorce ceremony as I tossed the bag into the garbage.

Excellent news on the fibrosis test, Dee!! That Dr better do the right thing...it's not like the cost is coming out of his pocket!!

You're clouds in the humidity made me laugh! My favorite place to vape is in a nice, steamy hot bath! The clouds just linger and I get the great aroma swirling all around me

 

[salemgold]

LD, it sure is nice to come here and read you early in the am. You have me LMAO already! Love your perspective on life things and SO agree with them all. I know what you are dealing with isn't really funny but, it is great that you are able to add the humor to it.

Good morning all. Hope everyone has a great day.

Done already Fran! Sweet dreams

I hope to HeyZues other patients don't have the same issues I have with that Doc....It was his idea to get the fibrosus test done to strengthen my chances of getting an additional month of pills....Even when Gilead themselves told me to just have him call and change the prescription....Now just as I predicted there is little to no fibrosus and he "thinks" Gilead may only go for the 8 weeks he prescribed....I got those pills on my own...his only involvement is my only problem....Little bass turd acts as if it's coming out of his pocket....I returned his message with a message{voice}....His nurse called during that 45 seconds the phone was outta my pocket and blabbered some sheet that was relevant but in no way addressed the issues of either message...So tomorrow I'm gonna ride my damn ... down there....SONOFAMFEKKINBEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll puff plenty beforehand sos I'll be less likely to strangle his azz......

Got my additional 29 pills....Got my TemCo wire....Speaker wall mounts are painted and drying....May start my truck bed trailer tomorrow or maybe not...Saw the Sun briefly today....Got 58 pills and praying for 29 more....Likely gonna take them after 1/1 to get the Holidays outta the way and Hell it's gonna be cold anyway....Trust too that many of my Doc issues are self inflicted....I question everything...Still my money means I'm the fekkin Boss.....Old boy needs not worry about getting fired....Fired Up....Now that should cause him major concern...Still I may wanna beat his ... and he more than deserves it but I got other sheet to do besides break outta jail...It'll work out and all will be fine in the end....

I'm betting my Aromamizer will be in the box tomorrow....I'm also betting I ain't building no dang coils tomorrow

LD, I SO feel your pain. I have run the gamut with bad docs. had to literally fire one while DH was in ICU before I was "allowed" to hire another. After I fired him, found out that the entire hospital staff calls him Dr Death. 99% of his patients leave in body bags. He was a real showman and likeable kind of guy. Had plenty of patients too. You MUST take charge of your own healthcare. NEVER assume that just because they have degrees, they know something. You are doing all the right things in my book.

You would probably be surprised at just how many of his other patients have the same issues but, don't know that they are issues. Too many people think that just because a doc is a doc, they are gods or something. Big mistake.
