Morning folks

Wharf I've heard good things about the Aromanzer but that's the first time I've seen one of either deck.

Yeah Dee, the leaks to the FDA regs are looking pretty depressing. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Rode my motorcycle to work this morning and my legs got cold. I decided to see what the temp was and was kinda surprised when i saw 34. I need something to cover my legs when i ride wearing dress pants.

Chaps? Hey oly, do you ever read your emails? Or, your PMs here?

Good morning all.

 

[salemgold]

Got my delivery made, didn't have to see the ex, in fact couldn't have visited if I had wanted too. Salem, I guess I could have mailed the stuff, but this was easiest and now it's done.

Oly you need a pair of chaps

Yeah, that's the important part. That it is over and done. Glad that it worked out so well!

 

[salemgold]

Whew Bov! I can breathe again. Glad that's over for you.

I just completed the latest call to action posted above. Now I must go get Maddie showered and ready for bed.

Car needed a new battery last week to the tune of $150.....today the starter shiz'z the bed. I drove directly to the mechanics and it wouldn't restart there.....good call! The mechanics is at the end of my street, or approximately 3 blocks from my house; no way did I want to use a AAA tow for that nonsense. Taking Mom's car to work again which has starting issues of it's own. Wish me luck? I'm looking at buying another car (used) in the Spring....unless I drive this one off a cliff first. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Have a good night all.

Darn, Tracy. I hate that for you. Having to rely on a car that is not reliable just bites. I sure hope that they get it repaired right for you this time!

 

[salemgold]

I find when the temp is much below 50* no matter what you do you're gonna be cold on a motorcycle.....I'm also Southern and hate cold temps.....

Starters are voltage sensitive....The old battery wasn't supplying the needed volts too the starter...This in turn caused the starter to get hot....You see the results....batteries have gotten pricey the last few years....Still at the first hint that battery is on the fritz get it outta there....

Glad the clothes drop went well....I'da laced them beeches with some poison ivy oil.....Someday maybe I'll spill the beans on the ex-boss and the oil of revenge......

Trip to Doc....Nurse called Soltace....I now have a cod for the Fibrosure....Tomorrow I return too Fayetteville and try that all over again......180 miles down....hopefully only 90 remain.....

Man if they pass those new regulations we're gonna feel the effects.....I'm pretty sure the FDA has already been paid well and we're fekked....Corporations buying law is high treason IMO.....Bet this right cheer.....I've bought my last damn Marlboro Light....Sick and damned tired of the FDA....What's next???? Chickens shipped to China for processing and back here for sale....wait....That was last week......Sooner rather than later the FDA needs to be held accountable....Time for the "white collars" to pull a little of this time usually reserved for the common man.....

Could not have said it better, LD. I did my part with the call to action but, I fear this battle was lost before it ever started I am well prepared but, this is horrible for the people still hooked on the cigs that will never have a chance to find out how well vaping works. Many lives will be lost all for the sake of the almighty dollar.

I thought long and hard about it. I do believe that if I could not vape, I would eventually go back to smoking. I am addicted. Hooked, line and sinker. So, I am making damn sure that I have enough supplies to last me most of my life.

 

[Bovinia]

Even after a year and a half, I still get a craving for a smoke every now and then. If I didn't have my vape, I would likely end up giving in to the craving. Funny thing is, I don't think it's the nic for me...it's the psychological aspect of the ritual.

With my BP being off the rail, I'm considering cutting my 3mg nic down even more. I always keep two mods going, so next mix batch of one of my ADVs will be zero nic, keeping the second ADV at 3mg.

Good morning all.

oops, just don't see the PM counter. The other forum i frequent has a pop up if you have a new PM. I'll check my emails next.

I'm a dufus.

 

[908Tracy]

I don't believe for a second I would ever return to smoking, but I am indeed addicted to the ritual of Vaping. I love it!
If I had to go to zero nic, I believe I could....but they would have to pry my Vapes from my cold dead hands to get it from me.

A lot of companies are offering 1.5 mgs now.

The word on fb is that Vapers are blowing up the White House phone lines today! Makes me proud!!! I just sincerely hope it does some good for the cause.

I'm at 6mg on my sub ohm devices and doing very well. If I get down to three I think I can get off the elevator altogether as far as the nic. The hand to mouth and ritual will never go away I don't think. I have every intention of vaping until they take my mod from my cold dead hands.

 

[908Tracy]

Cheers Wuzz!

 

[Bovinia]

pry my Vapes from my cold dead hands

take my mod from my cold dead hands.

Yall got that right!!

I think you'll be ok, El Dee. The FDA may be corrupt beyond recognition, but they're not all powerful.

They can't ban Kanthal wire, or Li-Ion batteries or Pg or cotton or Flavour Art or 510 connectors or any of elements to put a setup together. Remember some of the crazy things people used to mod 5 years ago?

The choke point is nic: that they can tightly control, and if things go as we all fear and expect, only Big Tobacco and Big Pharma will have legal access to it, Blu, Vuse,gums, patches and nicotine inhalers will be the only games in town--and more dirty money will change hands inside smoke-filled rooms than all of us together could ever imagine.

What comes after a trillion?

We have at least a few months, however. And some of us have walk-in freezers.

No, you are not a dufus! I liked the other alert system better as well. I figured that you had not seen the messages and that's why I left a message for you here

I am addicted to the hand to mouth ritual but, also to the nicotine. Honestly, if I dropped to zero nic, I think that I would just stop vaping. I still get the teeth grinding, anxious feeling when I am not able to vape for an hour or so.

I was driving back from my moms today. vaping. I passed a cop or two and thought what if vaping was illegal? I would either have to hide in my house to vape or be arrested/fined? This is going to be very hard to enforce.

Yes, Tracy. I was one of the gazillion vapers that spent most of the day on the phone

Evening,folks

 

[908Tracy]

Hi Fran!

Salem I wonder those same things! Ex: will I have to vape in my house? Jersey just passed a law (that I love and am happy about) where you cannot smoke in the car with anyone under 18 yrs of age. (Yay!)
That got me thinking of how much vapor is sometimes in my car (dripper induced of course) and that I could easily get pulled over bc of it. Not sure how that would go over?

I am off to bed now, it's been a long day!

Goodnight refugees!!!!

 

[FranC]

Goodnight,Tracy
