Been vaping 24mg for the first year myself. Almost cut that when i started dripping but i find i just go thru less juice now. Where at first i was 10-14ml of 24mg per day. Now even when I vape all day at home am down to 6 or 8 ml still on 24mg. I have been thinking of cutting it back too 18mg. I know it a good thing but i just laugh you you say your vaping @3 or 6ml. All in fun of course.

Going to have to try TW PG am runing low and i have never been in a TW so it time to expand. Am pretty sensitive to PG and any time i go over 50% PG i run into problem. Same for VG really. Not sure i have really ever figured out my juice base TBH. 50/50 seems to work so for right now am just stuck.

Wharf that's a kind and generous offer but I don't wanna put you out...I'd like to have one but I don't really need one...Thinking I've had 4 Trippys and broke every one pretty quickly...Thanks again !!

Nothing really interesting to add....like any of that other stuff was interesting....Tonight I researched was if a 5 speed from a later model Ford truck could be installed into my 79 Bronco...It's an auto ATM and I have 2 4-speeds from that era...It can be done but doesn't look like I'll be doing it...It's a great truck but still it was made in 79 and not really "economical"...Actually you can see the gas gauge move if you hold the pedal to the metal long enough...

5 you juice would leave me nic sick pronto....Kinda the same feeling I get from your football team!!!!

Morning folks

OTR I was kidding about the snow blower license, CT doesn't require one!

Gonna have to take Chase to the vet. His ear is draining some very foul smelling gunk, and the poor baby feels miserable

 

[908Tracy]

At 6 mg, I vape the strongest at work. Everyone else is at 3mgs. Drippers, and the Subtanks and remember, we can vape all day (and do!). It's good for business!

I grabbed a 12mg that I had mixed up a while ago, and got an instant headache. Nic sick!!! Hope to not do that again.

ElDee, I just mixed up a 30ml of the Haze at 15% total. 10% GJ and 5% HM ....my thoughts to follow.

 

[908Tracy]

Bov,

That groomer needs a smack down!!! haha Poor Chase!

The Trippy Tips Plasma Tank https://www.trippytips.com/index.php/accessories/tanks.html

Wharf can one still use the K Fun fill hole when running a Plasma Tank...If not that would be a major deal breaker...

3/4 is three quarters normally.....This time it was 3 to 4 inches...to be followed by sleet...finished off with freezing rain....Hellacious IMO

908 I'm not really sure what Grape I've got...Sure it's RTS...Be sure and post up your findings...

Off to give my professional opinion of a wrecked Honda Accord...in a junkyard with un-acceptable temps accompanied by un-acceptable winds....Certainly isn't gonna be the first time I froze my buttocks off in a junkyard....No pain.....no gain

 

[Wharf Rat]

Yeah you can still use the fill hole, no problem Dee. But since the tank is sealed, I just unscrew the tank, fill'r up and screw back on. And you can have a full tank, unscrew it and rewick....

Hope Chase feels better soon Bov.

 

[OldtimeRocker]

LOL yes Bov i figured it was a joke, was just saying i would not put it past the state of Conn. My wife is from there. To tax them, Last i heard Conn never meet a tax it did not like. when the kids where young we drove to New haven several time a year. The family still has a camp on a lake in Northwestern part of the state which am drawing a blank on right now. As many time as i have driven there...............out near Bear mountain. Any ways we still go a few time during the summer if we have time. We split the taxes on that and its ungodly.

Oh always like that Plasma tank . I knew tippy sounded familiar just cant bring myself to spend 60 buck for a glass tank cover. I guess it a good deal as it comes with a free 30 dollar tip. Another thing i cant bring myself to buy. 30 dollar drip tips they do look very nice and would last a week or less with me. Altho i did just buy a ONE of a Kinda DNA 40 mod for a bit more than 30. Still am saving money and feel great so life is good. I have always been a cheap ... Frenchmen and when i first started vaping i was" your want how much for an authentic Mech mod" But now after a year of vaping and saving thousands of dollar its oh ok that don't sound so bad. Yes i know am sick

I don't have the pleasure of owning any Trippy's, but Bert makes beautiful stuff!!

I took Chase to the vet, and I feel like the worst, most awful dog mommy in the world. Chase's ear infection is very bad, his vet said it may be the worst one she's ever seen She said that the Keto Flush we'd been using was not helping at all because it's bacteria, not fungal infection. It has been brewing in there for several months, and the groomer only exposed and probably helped uncover it.

I have an antibiotic to put in his ear once a day for 3 weeks, an ear flush to use every other day, and prednisone pills for 5 days. She wants to see him back in 3 weeks, but said she will be surprised if he's completely over it by then.

I feel like a heel, even tho she reassured me that she didn't think it looked that bad the last time we were there.

 

[Wharf Rat]

OTR I've broken a few of them, mostly on the KF hitting the top and chipping the base against that metal seat. NOW they come with a metal base and haven't hurt a one.

The metal and delrin tips chapped my lips by the end of the day. The difference is like drinking out of a aluminum cup (I know you are all of a certain age to have used them) and drinking out of glass.

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Can't like that post Bovinia. If the vet didn't think it was that bad and he usually has an ear problem after grooming how were you supposed to know? You were just doing what usually works and when it didn't, went for help. How much more than that can a responsible dog owner do? It's not like they can tell us what's wrong. Sounds to me like you're a good doggie mommie. I hope Chase gets well soon.

Don't feel bad, Bov. Something like that would be easy to overlook since Chase has had the same thing happen at the groomers before. Fact is that you did take him to the vet when you thought he needed to go. That makes you a great doggy mom

 

[salemgold]

I have never owned a Trippy Tip either. But, back when i was sending vape gear to the troops, Bert was good enough to custom make a dozen of them in camo for me to send to the troops. So, I have actually felt and held them in my hand before shipping them out

 

[OldtimeRocker]

Seeing as i love my KF and glass i may need to try one now. they look very nice and have always wanted one.

Bov, don't listen to the Vet IDK where these guys get off. We had a vet tell my wife once that she did not feel the cat needed to be put down and that it was my wife fault she came home in tears. At the time the cat was 20 or 21 she was an all white cat just a very small tuff of black on her underbelly. I named her Vanna, get it Vanna White. That was one great cat.

This is after months and months of vet bills. First time we had hear of kitty health care and this was years ago. I went right down and gave that vet a peace of my mind. Also the last time we went to that Vet. Funny she did not last very long in town maybe a year later and she was gone. Some Vets are just in it for the money. Seems like we are always dealing with ear infection here as well. You can only do want you can. Mean people burn me its one of my pet peeves.

You do all you can for your "baby" don't let any one tell you different

Got to say that more than cool. You doing that for the troops. Can a country ever do enough for there soldiers i don't think so. You just do the best that you can.

Bov,

We all KNOW what a great doggie mom you are so do not beat yourself up one bit over this! Ditto to everything that's already been said on the subject above.

I asked the same thing about Madison's clogged ears....oh my god is this somehow my fault? They looked at me like I was ridiculous for asking and said, "no way." I had called and told them right away that she complained of having trouble hearing, and did exactly what they suggested immediately. That is all we can do girlfriend....our best, and we did, and do. End of story. Maddie is on the mend, and Chase will be too. (((hugs)))

Gotta go check out that link above! Back later!

 

[Bovinia]

Thanks for the kind words, Chase must be feeling a bit better after getting all the goop washed out and a good dose of the antibiotic and cortisone they put in his ear. He's sleeping soundly right now. Probably a good thing I never had children...I'd have been a neurotic mess!

Wharf, I remember those aluminum cups I've had a few drip tips leave my lips chapped too. One of my favorite ones is a ceramic tip, it's very comfortable but nothing fancy.

I remember when Bert made the cammo Trippys for you to send, Salem!

 

[El Dee]

Here's hoping Chase feels better now!!!

Yeah those aluminum cups !! My Granny had two sets....one raw aluminum and one anodized in red and blue...They were cold to hold....they would sweat profusely and if you ever drank from one you remember the taste...Couple weeks back I read where consuming from aluminum is linked too alzheimer's....That's just great...

Wharf if you know someone who has the Plasma for sale hit a Brother with a link...

Those SS tips aren't for me either...Makes my teeth hurt.....don't like the feel.....they're cold.....they're hot....I got a brushed Ming vase that gets built up with lip gunk from peeling a bit of skin off with every vape....What's not to love about that???? If they come to me on a tank or something I trash them....I'm running Rampage Tips and another similar too a Rampage I got from Vape Rev...

Haven't been out in a while....There was some snow falling and we're supposed to have up too a 1/2 inch of ice in the am....Dang I hope the power stays on....All my heat stays running with or without power. Not Mom's though...I got propane reserves so bring it on Old Man Winter.....you BASS TURD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[salemgold]

Yep, you guys were all there when i was sending stuff to Afghanistan

We actually still travel back to Charleston to take our birds to their avian vet. The man is awesome with birds. We call him the bird whisperer.

Last year, I had to take my moms dog ( loved him like he was my own) back to the vet to get a cancerous tumor removed for the second time. max was old and really had not been feeling well at all. He always panted the last few years and was short of breath. I told my mom it was those damn cigs she kept smoking around him. Well, when I dropped him at the vet for the surgery, I told them that he had not eaten in 2 days and was not feeling well. About an hour later, I got a call saying that he saw what he thought was a mass near the dogs heart He was old and just the surgery would have been risky. The vet wanted to keep him over night and see how he was the next morning and also take another look at that mass. Well, my mom did not want him to suffer and felt like he had been sick for awhile. Bottom line is that I had to call the vet back and tell him to euthanize Max That really almost killed me. I could barely even talk I was so upset. But, the vet was absolutely awesome! He sent my mom a condolence card afterwards as well.

I could also tell you stories of bad vets. One that I know of is actually serving prison time right now for being abusive to animals. So, yes. You have to be as careful about vets as you do with your own docs. They are not all created equal.

Evening,folks

Hi Fran. How are you this fine evening?
