It w early morning and all was well.

The wife was bathing the baby, and I was topping off the KFv4 prior to my morning vapefast.

"Give me baby shampoo", the directive came.

I capitulated and went back to filling the tank.

"Give me towl", I stepped away, obeyed, continued.

"Give me hot water", the demand came loud and purposeful.

"Yeh okay, one minute" I replied, frustrated and trying to complete the job in hand, "Let me do this first".

"Always smoking" the accusation was an invitation to the fight, "water yes, no" the challenge.

"F-off an give me a minutes" the ill advised reply.

She crossed the room like a thing possessed. Grabbed up my beloved Vaper Flask an launched it across the room.

It cleared the living room and landed in a puddle on the bathroom floor!

Harsh words were exchanged, I went salvage what I could.

The half filled KFv4 flew over my head and shattered against the tiled wall.

The KFv4 is no more :(

I stripped out the batteries from the VF, shook off the excess water, observing the dents near the 510, the battery cap, and t scuff on the otherwise immaculate body [oh the horror!].

As I left the house, approximately 15 x 30ml bottles of shop bought and DIY juice shattered both before and behind my path.

I escaped with just the battered VF and a single 30ml of DIY juice.

My local vape store were great, if a little under stocked.

I came away with a Goblin Mini, they installed dual coils reading 0.5ohms, and despite my fear that 12mg would be too harsh in a dual coil configuration, it's vaping great at 22w with the airflow full open.

Flavour is much reduced when compared to the B-KFv4, but has great vapour production.

Licking my wounds over a beer, with only a Goblin Mini for company :(

Hope you all have a better weekend!

Caterpillar out.

I went to A bbq at mom's yesterday. I was vaping. I haven't smoked in a Year and a half and my mom says " do you think that really helps?" o_O I'm like, um, duh ? then she says " THEY say that's WORSE then smoking:confused:" I said, " mom, who is THEY"?? :grr: sometimes i wonder about people!! well I'm really sorry about your B-KFV4, but hey, at least you got to go to the vape store and get your Goblin mini!:w00t: thanks for sharing your story! I sincerely hope you have a better weekend!! Best wishes!!

-_-. Some people, honestly though, while she was so barking the orders out, my reply would have been "Anything else you need in the next five minutes tell me now, I'm not playing the Yo-Yo game with ya this morning for not planning out what you needed for the baby's bath". Sorry, one of my biggest peeves, unorganized people...

Sorry for the broken KF4, that would have heated the argument up if it were me, but I hope things cool off the rest of the weekend.

Go down to the local smoke store and buy the biggest nastiest cigar you can find. Set fire to that and ask "is this better then my vape?" Then find out why she didn't have everything close at hand to wash the baby in the 1st place! Your doing a better thing vapeing rather then smoking around Her and your child, then smoking . Of course if it's "That time" you can't win. Just buy a new flack and say "It' would have been cheaper if you hadn't destroyed all my stuff to begin with. She just threw money down the drain. Not you.

That's terrible. I have an ex husband who loved to break my things. Notice the word "ex". Breaking things never solves anything. It's actually considered abuse.

It was her fault that she didn't bring everything she needed and sit it by her. Nobody has the right to bark out orders at another person and expect them to jump like a puppet. No offense, but I couldn't put up with somebody like that. Her most valued possessions would have met the same fate and then she would have been shown the door.

What you missed there is that you thought you were working but you weren't. You were only manworking, which is the same as playing, while she was actually doing real work and getting more and more ...... that you were enjoying yourself while she was slaving away. If you ever find a solution to that situation, please let me know. If one can catch it early enough, drop everything and correctly guess the next job that she thinks needs doing, then it can generally be kept somewhat under control.

Personally, if my other half showed even a fraction of that violence though, I'd have problems sticking around.

I am having a very hard time actually believing this. No way, no how would I put up with an adult acting like a spoiled rotten child. I would be out the door never to step foot back into it. I am just an old lady that believes in treating others the way I want to be treated.

As told, I can see both sides.
On her part, she should have been organized with towel, shampoo, etc. before starting to bathe the baby.
On your part, could you not have just stopped the topping off until the bath was over?
But throwing stuff? Wow. Frustrated or not, no way do you throw things or punch walls or whatever because it doesn't solve anything and mostly creates additional problems.

It's probably not my place to say anything but if this is a normal occurrence, I really would take a step back and look at life objectively. I've been a part of relationships where violence and toxicity is a normal thing and it's not healthy for anyone. However, if I'm way off base then forget I posted anything

I'm guessing it was the "I'm working you're playing" thing that set her off? I've definitely learned not to say anything to escalate any situations I don't want to deal with! ;)

I do the whole rubbing the back thing asking if there's anything else needed before I go back to screwing around :D That way I can be the good guy when something else is needed!

We went through this in our 20's, in our mid 30's was when things got a little smoother. 40yrs of age and on has been great. Now, I can go have a few beers with friends and not get 20 phone calls, and the cold shoulder when I come home, personal belongings (ya right) have a longer life. Will be our 35 yr anniversary next spring, and I’m glad we both hung in there!
