Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Three

[Iffy]

Well... not exackly. Still have to set it then install it. To change it... take it apart, set it, reinstall it... etc etc yada.

If we suffer 'TEOTVWAWKI' and I have well worn out my VV/VW PVs, I will then 'yada' my mechs/Kick combos until da Kicks no longer does so. At dat point, I'll endure da unregulated mechs with grateful relish!

 

[Kenna]

I guess I have less discerning taste buds. To me, the slight changes in flavor of my ADV just add to the variety of flavor I get from it. Until the taste becomes unsatisfactory and I change the battery.

Sneaky! But, as long as you don't eat it front of anyone, all's well.

Yay!

You need to find a store that carries REOs so you can test out the size in person before you buy. Obviously, the beautiful one you have is just too big.

Or, just come to my house and test them out here! I have all three sizes: Mini 14500, Mini 2.1, and Grand. Believe it or not, the Grand is the most comfortable in my hand. I would have though the smallest would be; but, it's not. But, it IS the cutest.

I do better with my larger size Hana than I do the mini. There are several degrees of bend in my hands that have little to no grip. The size of this is perfect for just holding & firing. It.s when I have to change the position to squonk that it gets fumbly & I have to use both hands.

So, would squonking be out of the question, no matter the size? I'm sorry it's so much more complicated for you. But, if you prefer VV/VW anyway, no loss. Just keep some kind of mech for vapocalypse if you want. And, pack it away and enjoy your VV/VW mods.

Good luck with your sale.

I am the same. I have a few mechs, a few kicks, and will pick up a few more kicks. Wish I bought more last year when someone had them for $3.99, but I wasn't into my mechs. But I have them and if it looks bad, I will kick it up!

I think I remember that sale. FT's lowest price is $7. 26.

My accomplishments for the week:

Today:
After UPS came with the new lock set I ordered on Saturday night, I replaced the door lock on my side door. More complicated and time-consuming than expected because the door is a "manufactured home" door that's pretty flimsy, and previously damaged on the several occasions over the past 22 years when I've locked myself out and had to break in to my own house.

Plus, the lock bolt was really hard to remove from the flimsy frame. But, when I was done, I had a new lock and had done some minor repairs on the door to make it more sturdy.

Also today:
With the help of Google, finally learned how to change the login for this computer that I inherited from my Dad in May 2014, and how to give myself the necessary permissions for all the file folders that I'd previously been using by signing in as my Dad.

Yesterday into today:
Slow-cooked a huge pork .... for 15 hours. Didn't really fit in my electric crock pot but I made it fit. Delicious and I'll be having lots and lots of pulled pork sammiches.

Yesterday:
Found the source of a bad smell and cleaned it up. It was 3 big russet potatoes that I bought just 3 weeks ago that didn't last as long in the cupboard as I'm used to potatoes lasting. Really rotten... they had liquefied and there were maggots in the bag. Fortunately the bag was in an open container in my cupboard that contained the liquid. What's that you say? TMI?

This past Friday:
Got to a glass-cutter and had them cut a piece of glass so I can replace the broken pane of a storm window. Haven't installed it yet. I don't expect it to be particularly easy.

Last Wednesday:
Made a 50 ml bottle of joose according to the specs of one of the two other vapers in my DUI classes. When I went to class that day, he wasn't there (was in court) so I gave it to the other vaper. Then 2 days ago on Monday I made another 50 ml and gave it to the other guy. Kidded with both of them that the first one was free but the next one was gonna cost them, but also told them how little it costs to DIY. They've been paying $20 for a 30 ml bottle.

Hey, I almost feel like I'm doing something, but don't worry, it will pass!

MFS has them for $7.50, minus whatever discount you can get. They sent me an email today for 17% off. These Kicks are the 5-12 watt version. I've never used them but know there have been at least 2 versions:
Smok "The Kick" Variable Wattage Mod Power Booster - Mod / Battery Accessories - Batteries & Mods - MyFreedomSmokes

Was this to make sure you could not break in anymore???

 

[bigbells]

Actually, it won't make it more difficult to break into, but it will give me peace of mind that the person who says they can't find the house key I gave them temporarily won't be able to use that key just in case they're lyin'. Worth the $10 I spent on the lock for my peace of mind.

The door is just about impossible to replace without having someone custom-make one or re-framing the doorway so that a standard size door could be used. That's the way it is with some items in manufactured homes.

Then again.... who says you have to use it as a sqonker? a regular 510 attty fits on it just fine, you leave the bottle inside, and it may even catch any drippage... I haven't noticed it on mine, but ...
you can have the pretty wood and still have a nice vape!!

Not really as difficult as you might think... just follow the steps to replace and it may take you longer than some, but it's not beyond anyone's ability if they have the instructions.

this is a good one.

Thanks. Nothing is beyond my ability, my momma told me long ago; I just don't expect it to be easy. Hope it surprises me! Again, an item made more difficult by the fact that I live in a manufactured home: the "pane" is the full size of the top half of the window, about 26" by 30". The false "separations" between what would normally be individual panes is just a flimsy aluminum cross-hatched overlay. Then again, it never needs painting!

Oh, Mike and Janet might appreciate this: the window was broken by a sapling that was intent on getting in, during a period in which I was not tending the overgrowth. It's only been broken for about 6 years or so; I get to things promptly!

Thanks, DH! It's hard to explain when ¼" one way or the other changes everything. BTW, it's sold!

If your window tilts:


Aluminum window glass replacement - non-tilting


You will need to go to home depot to get replacement plastic strips - I have not seen a video yet where they didn't break them getting them out.

 

[Debadoo]

Yep, and I figured a way around it too... It is going to be my road snack and will be finished before I arrive...

That strawberry pie sure does look delicious though - I might trade a slice...

Gonna be hard to trade a slice if ya eat before ya git here, and......if you show up with key lime pie on your breath......yur in big trouble mister!! hehehe

Hey, I almost feel like I'm doing something, but don't worry, it will pass!

lol You had a busy busy day. Welcome home!

so sorry it didn't work out for you sweetie.

That was what I got done in a week, not in a day.

 

[Debadoo]

That was what I got done in a week, not in a day.

oh.....well now I feel better. And when I eventually learn to read, I'll likely feel even mo better
