Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[MikeE3]

i have alot of t3s and i keep a rolled paper towel and swab the mouthpiece when i see condensate forming in it. that keeps it from building up as bad. if it is gurgling badly, you generally have to go through all the motions of a refill and dry everything out. when i do get a gurgle the first thing i check is the battery connection as that is where a flooded coil leaks out. congrats on giving up analogs. i quit dec1, 13 and didn't think it was possible. bought an ego at a black friday sale, vaped saturday had an analog after dinner and put it out halfway, tasted awful. i had convinced myself that i had a workable alternative and said i quit. it has been a great journey in four short months but i now know i will never smoke again. happy vaping

Hi and welcome to the porch jonhall. Nice you took to it, right from the git-go. Sure it a great feeling to leave the smokes behind.

Welcome to the porch jonhall and Congratulations to successfully switching to vaping. It's been 2-1/2 years for me and I'm still tickled that I'm a "former smoker". Never thought that would happen!! What a great feeling huh?

Darn it. I missed you were new with all these forum issues jonhall.
Welcome!!

[So how do you use 'view last post'? I just rely on the links in my subscription emails - and they're not working. Always going to the 1st post of a thread.

Well when it's working... I use my subscribed list to see check for activity on the forums I frequent..select the one I want then at the top of the forum page (where search etc is) I select View Last and it takes me to where I left off on the forum. It really is nice feature and hopefully will be up and going again soon.

Ok...so if anyone has any weirdness going on like a missing like button or trying to go to next unread post and being dumped at the begining of the thread. When you signed on to the site you had to change your password. You need to logout and login again with the new password otherwise you are in a state of Purgatory - you know have way between heaven and hell.

Damn I really missed this site last night... i ended up chain vaping and catching up on the AR15.com boards.

hmm? Log-out/log-back-in didn't fix it for me. When I click the link in 'my email instant notification' I still go to post #1 / page #1 not to my last viewed post.

If you look at the html that appears in the address bar when you click the first unread button you'll see the post number its attempting to get to. It's completely incorrect. Looks like whatever happened required them to redo the database of the forum posts. I noticed that my preference to see 20 posts per page is ignored right now. Also cannot reach the forum via Tapatalk, the forum tool that close to the entire community of mobile device owners use to access forums. So its not back 100% yet.

Goood Mornin gang.....

Finally made it back in, after a jaunt thru the jungle, dessert, and hiways & byways of the intranet.
After the reboot, I changed my email and password as requested, but, then I could read post, but not respond to them.
nor could I get to my own profile to make any changes.
I logged out several times and logged back in.....all to no avail.
So being the extremely patient man that I am, I went to get a coffee, and a shotgun!!

I laid the shotgun on my desk, in the hopes that logging in would give me some more grief !!
While sipping my coffee, I deceided to go over todays email, and either the admins had seen the shotgun, or
the answer was in my email the whole time.
After clicking on the linc provided in said email.... all was well again.

I still prefer to believe that the forum admins saw the shotgun on my desk and fixed it lickity split

Moral being, if the forum isn't quite right today.....check your email..........( a shotgun off to the side, in view of the monitors, may or may not be helpful. As always........ Your results may vary !!

Interesting fact. When I first logged in, there were 800. Hope we don't have a rebound. LOL

AHA!! I got it, as I sit here with some black dust on my forehead. We had a peak just before and after the New Year. Now we get a peak of readership on Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday. Now that you have given up smoking, what is left to give up for Lent?

I am starting an exercise/diet program. I have thirty pounds to lose.

I frequently get "Google Chrome cannot connect to e-cigarette-forum." Try again later.

You just described my morning with ecf exactly!! I had the same issues & reactions!!

Welcome jonhall.... there may be lots of rockers to choose from, but take some advice from an experienced vapor.........beware of strange people bringing you cushions !!!! Some have been known to create havoc in social situations

GOOD Mornin Cheryl........good to see ya here !!

 

[3mg Meniere]

We also got a good deal on several of these lately.

There are times when exercise is a better option.

Good Morning Ralph!!!!

 

[williegntx]

Oh so nice that ECF is back up and working better than before for me. Same as MikeE3 said, I could not access ECF at all yesterday or last night. Finally this morning Got back in via an email update on my phone and lastly with Chrome.
(I thought about the 'shot gun', too Ralphie!)

Nice to have it back and a lot of catchin' up to do!

Ok so when you got on you should have recieved a notification to reset your password. I cleared by cache/cookies CTRL+SHIFT+DEL and then entered new password. General weirdness described above resulted. Logged out and back in and the heavens opened up and the light shone down on me. The only slightly weird thing is that when i click on the "first unread post link" for a thread it jumped to page one before going to the right page/thread.

Working in IT i can tell you several givens: 1 - computers suck 2-the same fix doesnt work for everyone 3-computers suck 4-Reboot 5-computers suck...

That looks kinda painful. We have one but the only exercise we get from it is when we clean the dust off of it. But still, we do add a lot to our vocabulary when we stub our toe on it.

Since when ???? lets not get to to drastic, here !!!
Exercise may be an option, but there are plenty of others to try first.

theres, coffee, soda, food, chocolates, liquor, vaping, etc etc

Life is hard enough on our bodies, without us torturin ourselves ON PURPOSE...

Exercise !!!!???? as a last resort maybe, YIKES !!!

LOL Reading while walking was always satisfying and painless. With that thingamabobber, it gets a lot safer. And a vapewalk makes more sense than a cigwalk. It is amazing that I still have plenty of wind left, even walking at 2.3 mi/hr. for half an hour.
