Worse thing is - it is an old story happen last month . . . And It Was a "mod" that exploded - not an "ecig" as they show on a news program that someone else posted in another thread . . . Here is a link to what happen that "rolygate" posted when it originally happened in January: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...oding-mods-current-situation.html#post5146201

Been browsing my external hard drive for pics and came across this one. I thought it was appropriate for the conversation on giving up analogs!
Unfortunately, the story from January was out of Colorado. The new one is from FL. Rolygate made this post today - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-niceville-e-cig-exploding-5.html#post5317556.
The story's been run on yahoo news, and a few other major news outlets. Man Suffers Severe Injuries After E-Cigarette Explodes in His Mouth - Yahoo! News
Just wanted to clarify. This story makes me sad and my heart goes out to the man this happened to.
Okay - Here is some info for You that I think you might get a kick out of seeing and I hope a number of people might enjoy seeing too:
This is the first one I saw when I was just lurking and before I posted here:

Also - Personally I found a couple of Wood Boxes with Draws at a "Goodwill" type of store 1) 16 l x 12 d x 8 h 3 Draws $5 and 2) 14 l x 10 d x 10 h w/ 3 Sm - 2 Med - 1 Lg $4 (This One Looks like the "Stack_on" just smaller - Info below
You might also want to check out "Sterilite" or "Stack-on" (IMO - the better one) line of products which you can see in the first link too . . .
Before I got the ones I have - I liked this one the best and found it at both Walmart & Kmart (a little Cheaper there too) - "Stack_on 22 Draw Organizer" (which comes in other sizes, # of Draws, and colors too - but not everything at Kmart
"Stack_On" Available Colors Link: Stack-On | Products | 22-Drawer Storage Cabinet
KMart Link: http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_9990000045200511P?prdNo=3
Hope this Information Helps People In Their Seaarch For Organizing Stuff
Wow, Uncle! What a find! Thanks for sharing. What about that guy, Elendil, with the big red toolbox? What do people do with so much stuff? How can one person vape it all before it gets too old? I like your Stack-On suggestion. Next time I'm at Walmart, I'll have to give them a look. Meanwhile, that big round tin I have is working very well, and I had it here, just sitting and waiting for a job. Now that tin has a job, and that's keeping me from losing another bottle of e-liquid. I can't believe my bottle of cinnamon disappeared! I've waited so long for a good, spicy cinnamon, too. I'm just hoping the bottle shows up before I've vaped the carto dry, since right now, all I have is one measly cinnamon carto.

Thank you for sharing this, Psyche! It is a sad situation and I feel for the man and his family!
Thanks for the info. She wants me to try this ointment for 2 weeks and if it isn't helping at all then come back and see her. I'll mention the Humira to her and see what she says. About 20+ years ago I had the same as yours, the ring on my knees and elbows, itched like crazy, but once that went away it never came back. Just had this one quarter sized red blotch near my ankle that never got any worse or better, so I just lived with it. But this new thing is nuts, it looks like I have chicken pox or something. ick.
oh I like!! I printed it and hung it on my mirror in my bathroom. thank you Tina so much for sharing this.
Just as an FYI: A couple of threads on ECF to look into: "Breathing Discussion" & "WTA" Info (respectively). . .

Just thought some people would like to know - in the suppliers forum is another thread and discussion about "WTA" . . .
I will not post a link to that - all you have to do is use the SEARCH OPTION ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Up There
Okay - I Am A "MEAN-NIE" - Tough . . .
I've done a lot of research on WTA before I decided to try it. I think some people in that discussion think it'll replace nic-only juice. I doubt that will happen, and if a vaper is happy with nic-only juice, why would they want to vape WTA? I decided to try it to see if it decreased my urge to smoke. The jury is still out on that one, but I plan to vape the 10 ml bottle and see what I think after that. By then, I may have worked out what's the best strategy for me.
Afternoon voltieville, Megabee congrats !! Also Well wishes for your friend , I hope she gets better. It's makes kind people like you offering to help all the difference. your a great gal!!
He's my everything- love hearing the progress, you did not come across impatient at all. I never get that feeling from you.
Sad to hear about the "news story" sending my recovery vibes across. Makes me mad though that the media always relays misinformed information.

As a Counselor who does work in "Behavioral Modificaion" (Yea - "Me") - Let me just state professionally any "Addiction" is a mix of any of the following factors: Psychical - Genetic - Psychological - Emotional - and of course Social . . .
Any one or all of these can be a factor why someone became "Addicted" . . . And to be honest, there is absolutely NO ONE WAY To break any "Addiction" . . . Some people have "Will Power" and others - DO NOT . . . (and even though I "know" many different "Theories and Modalities" about breaking an "Addiction" - I happen to fall under the later and do not have the will power to just stop smoking - that is why I am here and am using an "eCig" now ) . . .
The Point Is - Some People find switiching to an "eCig" extreamly easy - others do not, for many and varied reasons . . .
More importantly, there is no one way either . . .
So - let's just say for the moment everyone has there own way of doing this - I happen to be one of them too . . .
Personally - I never planned to QUIT when I started this "Transition into the Vaping World" . . . All I wanted to do was cut back on how much and when and where . . . But Now I would like to Stop Smoking and I know I will given alot of the stories I read and been told by others, including all the support and encouragement I've gotten from others here on ECF . . .
However, I DO STILL SMOKE - Yea, I know How Horrible . . .
But then again as most people already know - I am very similar to Barb's Husband, SandySue, and so many others . . .
And what is really wierd - I already have all the Information about breaking "Addictions" and work with people to help them learn how to cope . . .
But I am one of those who is "ADDICTED" by many factors (which I would rather not repost here) . . . However - lets just say I fit all of the above . . .
AND - Although I have given up many other "Addictions" - Cigarette "Addiction" is the worse for "ME" (4th Time) - patches/gum did nothing, and as for all the drugs - I won't get into what happened physically or mentally, other than to say - YOU WOULD NOT LIKE ME AT ALL (I was considered a "B" anyway by some people in RL) . . .
SO Again - All I want to say there is - NO ONE WAY . . .
Just a Thought, My
, & Something to think about

I didn't take offense. I'm willing to admit that I'm stubborn, and I like smoking cigarettes. I'm fighting myself, and I don't know how to get away from that, so I'm trying stuff to see where there might be some sort of breakthrough. At least I'm not giving up. I'm still here and still vaping.
Thanks for the clarification. So I guess we are safe with our Volts? It seems like it's the mods that are dangerous.
I know what you mean. If the ointment works, its the best thing. I mean, you want to use the most effective method without using actual medication ya know? I have tried so many medications, pills, I even did Enbrel. But so far Humira has been the only thing that has helped me and I have been on it for almost 3 years now. Hopefully yours will go away for another 20 years. LOL
When I started out, I had a carton of cigarettes and my brand new ecig. Smoking 75%, Vaping 25%. While learning the ropes of how much to order and when, I would run out so a few more packs got used up. About a month into I was vaping exclusively, and had 2 packs of smokes left. I kept one in the butter holder in the fridge, and the other was in my purse - just in case. Then it was left on the kitchen counter - that was a big day for me, to leave the house without any smokes! During the course of the year I would occasionally get a craving or just be curious and have a smoke (tasted gross by then). Now I have 14 cigarettes in that pack and still the one in the fridge. Needless to say the pack is a tad stale now LOL. But it is a mental game I play - I know they are there in case of an "emergency".
I think I might be one of those people who needs the "WTA" . . .
(Ya' THINK
)AND - Although I know everyones impressions about "Nic-Juice" and other additives will be different -Please keep updating "Us" with your progress . . .
Thanks . . .
Okay - I'm goin' to step in again . . .

Just a Thought, My
I agree with your statement that everyone has to find their own way. That's what I'm doing. It's sort of like a rat in a maze. I run down one alley, and if I hit a wall, I retreat and try another path. One of them will be the right one. I just have to keep experimenting till I find it.
