Question - I am trying to 'get through the night' with some juice that is way too strong nic, making me a little sick (as I posted before). Stores closed today so i didn't get new juice. I have been looking at youtube and not seeing what I need.

I have vodka, a syringe and a small glass bowl. Can I just do the mixing this way and then use syringe to load tank from glass dish? What would be proportions of store bought 20mg juice and vodka be to get my juice down to approximately 16mg or so? Or is this just a bad idea o_O

Thanks!
If you can't get vegetable glycerin, I suggest you use your 20 mg/ml juice, vodka, and water (distilled if you've got it but tap water will work) in the following ratios: 6 parts of your juice, 1 part vodka and 1 part water. That will get you down to 15 mg/ml nicotine strength.

Your suggestion was great, but I was worried she wouldn't be able to get glycerin this evening so provided an alternative. If she can get a hold of some glycerin, I'd suggest adding that and nothing else to her juice, in a 3:1 ratio of juice to glycerin.

I have a chill so decided to make a pot of vegetable soup and some cornbread. Now that I have everything cooking I am sweating. Never a happy medium.

Just so happens, I did a weekly fridge dump 'recipe' for an oriental chicken soup earlier today fer supper. Da temp here plunged below 68° dis AM, aka soup season!


Liz,

Assuming ya have no lower nic joose around, Butch and Dave gave ya sum great guidelines. If using vodka, shake/heat it up to evap da alkie a bit. BTW, nuttin' wrong with a lil' water dilution. Just be aware dat your flav level will drop off.

Since you're early in your 'bakky sheddin', hopefully your hand-to-mouth habit and vape production will sate your urges until ya can get a suitable lower nic joose.

If I were within a 100 miles of ya or Mike was finished wid his porch tele-transporter, we could work sumpin' out.

Please keep us updated as to your situation. Just hang in dere...

Not soon enough. We're making real progress but, seems like we're not making enough. It's just Doree and I and I am not much help. I wish there was some way I could hire some folks to take care of it but, some things (motorhome) I have to do myself. Nothing seems to be going right. I've got a rental property that is just sitting there empty and sucking money. Got a new realtor handling it and I'm not sure it was the right decision. Every month it's not rented is $800 down the toilet and I can't afford it. Same thing with the motorhome. Need to go up to the motorhome dealer and work a deal for them to repair it and sell it on consignment but I have to get it cleaned, running and some interior work first. Every month I can't get it done $400 out the window. I got nobody other than Doree helping and I can't even stand up out of a chair without pain. I'm ok once I get up but it's been so long that I'm really out of shape and with COPD I'm outta breath almost immediately. We'll get it just taking forever.
Sorry for the venting but, I guess I gotta sometimes. I've always been the one who says let's go I'll help, is Saturday ok? Now, where are all those people when I need help. Disappointing to say the least. :rolleyes::-x:?:
I'm sorry y'all are having such a hard time with it all, Matt. You just have to a day at a time.

Good evening everyone. Finally caught up on my reading being offline all day.

Legs, does not sound fun, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Hope you get everything working well again soon.

Update on us today. We didn't do as well, since Geordi decided to relieve himself (#2) in the ring!!! Although the judge was very nice a great with the puppies, we got 2nd place and reserve to the winner of the points (best of loosers, judges 2nd choice of best boy (or girl) = no points). But the points when to his brother!!! First weekend out, a major under his belt (a "major" is a win worth 3 or more points, the most available being 5 points. you need 2 "majors" for your championship, and total 15 points. Points are based on # of dogs beat). But the judge really liked these 2 boys, littermates, because our "reserve" was still beating several other boys. I'll take it!!

back to regularly scheduled programming.....

Thanks and thanks everyone for letting me vent. I've serious thought of calling wounded warriors and asking for help. Wonder if they would and I would have to do it without Doree knowing.

If you go to Walmart, The vegetable Glycerin is in the Pharmacy Dept in the section with Alchohol. It's HUMCO Vegetable Glycerin. You can come here with any questions. Most of us do some DIY, and adjusting nic levels is something almost all vapers learn to do. It's just your turn. Bell's proportions will work, too. Don't tell them it's for vaping. Tell them it's for preserving flowers. or making lotion or something like that.

Now, that is the right attitude! One thing you will learn, Liz, we are a great group of folks. We will offer advice and we are also very willing to help you spend your money. I have found myself lacking with juice and went to CVS and picked up a bottle of VG from the beauty aisle. Got me through the night until my B&M opened the next day. You are doing great on avoiding the analogs.

What I would do is take 2 shots of vodka drink it chase it with distilled water and vape what you have.

I agree with Kenna! Make the call. If they can help, why not? To get you out from under all that would be grand!
