Happy easter to everyone !!!

Fran I hope the Hubs feels better....

Got done with all those trees....Last couple of days I've been backfilling the huge hole with some fill I scored a couple of years back at Cuzzo's garage...Four loads I hauled over here on the dump trailer...Gonna need a bunch more fill and right now don't have an idea where I'll get it....I do have a truck and dump trailer so it will come....Been adding rocks too the creek bank to hold that fill should I eventually get that far...All that lumberjacking was for real work....Now I find that after a couple of hours on the tractor it makes my back hurt...Jeez!!!!!Heading too Cuzzo's for lunch in a bit and hope to finish adding what fill I have after....Someone posted a 100 gallon propane tank on the Craig's.....almost new....1/2 full and a good price....They didn't answer so I'll try again before getting back on the tractor....Gotta switch it up and get Mom's car washed and posted for sale.....Gonna put the Tacoma in the shop and pull the wheels for a balance and rotate/paint the rear brake drums black so it will look better...It's only been 8 months or so I've been looking at those grungy brake drums....Also got a battery for the beach mower ordered....Gotta fly and bring it home for it's annual check up with the good doctor Dee.....

Trust that I'm getting worn down....Put pressure back on my car wash pit for the summer and you guessed it...line froze and burst over the winter....10 plus years that line has been there....Couple the workload with the anniversary of Rod's death Saturday and well......I've felt better....I rectify that situation by sitting by the creek and sparking a fatty......Works every time......

Someone wanna "splain what nicotine salts are????? I know they're associated with pods and I've no interest in pods.....

Yes nic salts are for pod systems. Supposed to be smoother and are made in much higher strengths, usually 35mg, 50 mg. Geared towards the new vaper, or for those who need to go awhile before being able to vape again. It’s for the last reason that I bought a suorin air and a bottle of unicorn grape salt Nic 35 mg.....to get me through my dd’s College graduation next month. (Stealth without making yourself dizzy from holding hits too long) That, and bc I was curious and the best way to learn about something is experience. ;)

For the record, I won’t be buying all kinds of flavors, or trading in all of my subohm gear but it’s a neat little device and I understand it’s place in the industry. Now to keep it out of the juuling kids hands?!?! Wait, these are the very same kids eating tide pods and snorting condoms. **Rolls eyes**

Fran I’m happy hubs is heading in the right direction and feeling a bit better. <3

ElDee you need a rest! Good lord!

Bov I am hoping you find your house soon now that warmer weather is approaching. :)

Mark, Wharf, I haven’t heard of the gene chip going back in the bf pulse mod.

I hope you all had a nice Easter!

I saw the nicotine salts at Bull City Flavor in a jug....Thought maybe it could be substituted in the juice I mix or was the latest and greatest Nic or something....Really don't know anything about pods either....My laundry detergent is Arm and Hammer and liquid so no teenyboppers gonna eat pods here....guess they can pour a shot of A&H if they're jonesing....Now I've snorted plenny oh sheet....never a condom though....Never cared much for them and I got sinus issues....I might add the Serrapeptase I told ya'll about months back and ya'll disregarded has really helped my sinuses a lot....I got it to clear my arteries and saw where it thins mucus....It's working for the sinuses and hopefully the blood flow....

Another day of banging....24 tons of sand/clay mix on order...that's a tandem dump truck loaded too the gills...Mom's car washed and as of 1am posted on the Craig's....

The Nic we are using freebase and it gives a harsh throat hit at higher nic levels. Salts are a lot smoother. I started Salts at 25mg and now vaping 40mg. I have a Suorin Air as well, I bought it at ECC a year ago. It's 1.2Ω at 11-13W...At these mg levels it gives you a mild-medium throat hits, very enjoyable.

The idea is that we will titrate our mg/day. The lower mg you use the more you vape and that puts more of the parts that could be harmful as apposed to fewer with high mgs.

Many of the pod systems are now empty cartridges and last me a 3-4? weeks, I vape it 15-30% ? of the time. Today I got some pods in at 10am and I have been using it about 70% ? today. It holds 2 ml and I have half left.

I got the cartridges from VapeShop and they were the cheapest i could find. I also a Warlock pod vape for $10 and It's pen-like for $10 and 5 cartridges were $7-8 ???

I bought the Nic Salts here.... I would definitely get it in VG... My first bottle was PG as I'd always used, but then at 100mg 25-50% (that's the range the manufactures are using) plus flavors I was negative non-nic PG.

BTW I have 240ml of 100mg of unflavored PG salts. I will not be using it. If anyone does want to try it, let me know and I'll ship it out.

Hope that helps !

I should try nic salts, likely mix at about 20mg.

I'm looking at the Joyetech Exceed Edge. Good battery size, really solid build quality per djlsb, replaceable EX heads. It would be handy for when DW and I go to KW next month for my niece's wedding reception. Decent price for the set plus a 5 pack of spare heads (HG has a 30% off code right now).

On the audio front I ended up going for a Benjie T6 DAP. It's the same as the AGPtek rocker (T6 is the OEM's model designation), nice price via AliExpress (sub $40 using a coupon), BT 4 including aptx. It's got an early Rockbox port available, though I'll just install the latest AGPtek firmware for now (until Rockbox picks up BT functionality). A Sony NW-E390 silicone sleeve fits it (so I can add a lanyard). Once I see it's shipped I'll scoop up a 128GB microSD (I've got a lot of CDs encoded as mp3 320K CBR), then time for the Sennheiser HD 4.50 headphones (good sound, decent active noise canceling, should be nice for both office and travel, 10% off coupon at Sennheiser USA).


NB: If you order from AliExpress, using a one-shot credit card number might be good. Capital One (as well as some other Visa supplers) allows you to create temporary card numbers linked to your regular card. I'll deactivate the ALiExpress temporary number as soon as the product I ordered ships.

So just like that.....Took the Tacoma for a balance and rotation yesterday....I usually mill around in the back and talk with the mechanics whom I've known many years while waiting....Young man I'd recently met because I was huffing a sub tank came up and shows me his new pod...About as big as a pack of matches and putting out pretty good clouds....Got salts in it...Small....I know damn well he lied about how long the battery lasts...just to small for 1.5 days of chain....Said MPGs with the liquid was excellent as well....Truth is I've been wanting to quit and I said when I went Oceanus/Smok it would be my last new PV/Tank set up......Now there's a new Holy Grail.....Sheet!!!!

Managed to jump the line and get 20 tons of sand/clay mix dumped on the edge of my hole...Now to level that mountain.....

LoL@ a new holy grail :laugh: I still have no intentions of quitting even tho I only use 1mg nic. Sometimes I even forget to add the nic! I enjoy vaping...and I still really love my Nunchaku tube and tank.

The Easter Bunny brought me a FitBit Flex 2...does anyone know how to make it stop laughing at me?! :blush:

I'm in the 2 -3 mg zone myself. I mix my ADV a pint at a time, using a condiment bottle that Sloth pointed me to.

I've still got plenty of NF diacetyl--free Vanilla on hand, placed an order for 8 oz of the French Vanilla and 4 of the Cream. I tend to run about 10% Vanilla, then 2% of one of the other flavors.

I pulled the trigger on the Exceed Edge and a 5 pack of spare coils. The battery is 650 mAh, it holds a full 2ml. They do sell spare pods/reservoirs, but I'm happy to be able to just change the little 1.2 ohm heads. I rechecked reviews, they indicate around a 60 - 70% VG liquid works well, no leaks.
