This gettin old ain't for the weak that's for sure. @Kenna you got the list of Orings from the other thread right? Like I say I got 20 of the 10X1's and 10 of the 11X1's. I have the vitals for all the Orings and a link to each page that you order them on. Once you register an acct it's a piece of cake and 12 bucks including shipping and you have the same as 10 spare parts kits minus the screws.

Oh wow, that's awful. That's the kind of situation where you could have used an advocate. Glad that day is over. If they try that double booking again just say NO! Not on the same day unless it's before the treatment. Sometimes they get caught up in the process and forget all about what the patient's going through.
They usually donct come after me until I've been there an hour or so. This was just bizarre. I called today & talked to the office manager about it & they are going to train everyone in recognizing j how to handle panic attacks. She said the Dr has been having them recently, also. I told her they need to be able to help him if he has one & not do things that cause it to escalate. Icm better todayn but had to get some distance to get over it. At least I learned about anxiety attacks shutting down vascular stuff. That's why they make your chest hurt.

I'm going to tell you what happened while I was out watering tonight, but you may not believe it. I still can't and I was there! While watering my tomato plants I noticed movement on the ground off to my left. Turns out it was a little bird. He was buried in the dirt, head first, belly up, up to his legs! He was struggling, trying to get out, but he was in tight, like someone planted him! Just the tail end sticking out! I started to dig the dirt away with my finger, but was afraid I'd break his neck so I dug my fingers under him and popped him out. Poor thing couldn't hardly fly, just flopped off and sat there panting. He finally flew off, but not very far above the ground. Still can't figure out how he got in that position. Very, very weird, but so happy I happened to be there to help him out.
Strang! But great that you were there to save him!

This bird will go on to poop in the eye of the guy shoots the missiles for north korea, causing him to miss, and saving us all.

Wow interesting, I bookmarked the page. I am going to give the 10 that I ordered a try that sound real interesting. Got the link from SteveS45. Pretty good price and he sounds like he likes flavors like I do that can be used as standalone or mixed with each other. Thats going to take me a while for sure. Seems like I have 1 or 2 good days and 1 or 2 bad days so might take a while. Hey that Oring Store is sure a good place to get Orings cheap. Changing the 3 on the head of my authentic K5 really made a difference. Now I know where to get them.
Ecx carries these relabled as Northwest Flavors. The owner, Walt, used to have Killer Flavors but he reorganized the company j renamed it Real Flavors.

Yabutt TFA sells both.
(not that the safe ones are proven safe)
They do custom flavorings, too. That might be what Walmart is getting. I'd hesitate buying them from Walmart. I'd stick with the known vape safe vendors.

I do not know about this product, but every time I have seen FDA approved they mean for cooking and such - not specific to vaping - being used loosely.
Wizard claims the same thing on their stuff.

What I saw of them $8 bucks for 1oz definitely sounds like a good price.

The Flavor Apprentice has a lot of flavors in the bulk section for $8 for 4 oz. Still, you can make a lot of juice with 1 oz, it's still cheaper than buying pre-made juice.

Yeah that stuff I ordered is specifically made for vaping and is already FDA approved from what Steve says.

Can't imagine the FDA approving any flavors for vaping.

Sounds like a cat or dog did a stun, capture and partial burial for later 'investigation'.

Had a cat stun a bird and drop it into a planter on my front porch. Went out to gather da morning paper and noticed da lil' guy in da pot. Pick it up and suddenly it fluttered. Put it in a shoe box wid a lil' water. A couple of hours later, it had recouped 'nuff to release it in da back yard hedge.

That's probably the most reasonable answer. Wonder if that vampire chippymonk had anything to do with it...

They usually donct come after me until I've been there an hour or so. This was just bizarre. I called today & talked to the office manager about it & they are going to train everyone in recognizing j how to handle panic attacks. She said the Dr has been having them recently, also. I told her they need to be able to help him if he has one & not do things that cause it to escalate. Icm better todayn but had to get some distance to get over it. At least I learned about anxiety attacks shutting down vascular stuff. That's why they make your chest hurt.

You were smart to call and talk to them about your experience. Hopefully they'll take it to heart. You'd think that anyone in the medical profession would be sensitive to what's happening to the patient, but sadly, that's not the case. It should have been apparent to them that something was wrong and should have at least talked to you at the time.
The info you found about anxiety is interesting. Might never have known about it if not for this situation.

They do custom flavorings, too. That might be what Walmart is getting. I'd hesitate buying them from Walmart. I'd stick with the known vape safe vendors.

I was wondering where Walmart got their flavors, surely they're not making them. I think all the flavors fit for eating are the ones we use for vaping. Does anybody sell flavors for vaping?

So glad you complained, and so glad you got it taken care of at the lowest level. :thumbs: Audiologist wants me to take an ENT referral because my hearing loss and allergies are related, as in an immune disorder. I have already been on prednisone short course once for an episode. I am not looking forward to the side effects of those meds.

Being so far from my kids with communication on the telephone so difficult is a gut-wrencher.
