Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[Flowersoul]

Oh ! I completely forgot about that convention

Classy, you will be there, won't you?

Broke down and bought 4 of these
EGO to EGO 510 Atomizer Adapter [2104] : L Js E-Smokes, Electronic Cigarettes

I love the SID, but the connection is aluminum... and all it takes is a bump or a drop and the threads get loose.
This should let me keep using it, and I should get them before the convention in Tampa this month.

Would love to meet you Ken!

Ordered my TICKET. When are ya'll showing up?

If I go on Sat., I'll have to leave early due to a son-in-law 40th BD.

Sure would luv to meet ya'll!!! Besides, classy says she owes me a hug...

Iffy, dh and I are coming in on Friday and we're both aware of what a madhouse Tamps is going to be, but he's OK with that. Gosh, I sure do hope we can meet!

 

[Hazewitch]

Well that proves you deserve a seating place on the porch.
Welcome Welcome Welcome

Oh man I know that feeling...

 

[Hazewitch]

Wow. Are you folks the sort that rushes out to buy an extra gallon of milk and a loaf or two of bread every time it's supposed to snow the next day too? I leave with a fully charged eGo 900 battery and a filled ProTank mini or BCC clearomizer. If I'm doing a grab and dash because I'm running late I'll grab a 2nd battery because that's faster than making sure the one I have is charged. I'm like my 18650 devices and big tanks at home but just can't see actually using those monsters in public.

Just watching a news clips about how Americans are receiving their Tax Refunds. However, there are those like myself, disabled and honest, trying to come up with a good installment plan to pay off their taxes due to an audit. My income is only 25K a year and yet, the IRS which is an independent collection agency, send s me a letter with threats about garnishment. My next door neighbor,a young woman with two kids, also was audited...Taxation is obviously unconstitutional(don't believe me look it up and do your research).

with that said, I am doing the "right thing" so to speak. Communicating with the IRS and attempting to bring closure to this ordeal. No one speaks out about what it seriously wrong in this country,...until it hits them hard...

happy vape folks

Just about to order from Mt Baker(all their Tobacco flavors and some Pecan pie throown in). Heard great stuff about them from TiaVapes on Youtube so I thought I better find a good online juice vendor, thinkin' Mt baker just might be the one for me...good prices...

(goes back out to the front porch waitin' on miss fancy pants mail lady for my vapemail...lollll)

One thing with Mt Baker. Their juice frequently needs 1-2 weeks steeping time.

I know for a fact my favorite is HORRID when fresh but a day with the cap off and another 7 days of shaking it daily and it is YUMMY!

Income tax was passed as an emergency measure to fund the war of 1812. Just like today any tax is a permanent fixture. Income tax is unconstitutional because it is not applied equally to all citizens. Funny to think that the revolutionary war was fought over taxation without representation.

Yuck! Good luck dealing w/ them.

For you (don't want to say nooby) going on a shopping spree at Mt.Baker.
don't forget to put ... vaporfrombaker ... in the code box for your discount.
It's not a special, it always works, and if you spend more than $25, you'll get a free 15ml bottle.
Also, if you have a flavor you would like to try for free, ask for it in the comment box.
Sometimes you'll get it (or something they are testing the buyers on anyway)
Have fun shopp'in

Oh good to know! Thank you

When I got divorced my husband gave me 5k to quit-claim the house to him. I called the IRS to see if I had to claim the 5k as income. The fellow asked me if it was payment for a service and I said for a second time "no, it was to quit-claim the house". And he says AGAIN "but was there any service involved" so finally I just said "sir, I serviced that man for 11 years; however, he's never paid me for it" (Seriously, it's true, lol)

So I was talking to someone on another forum site about things we've accomplished that we're proud of in 2013. Naturally mine was quitting smoking. They asked me how I did it and I told them about vaping. The person then says "Oh, you mean an electronic cigarette. Well then you really didn't quit smoking."

*sigh*

Sorry, but I simply couldn't 'like' your post because I've gotten similar responses.

I've learned that if someone is really interested, their attitude is a lot different.

 

[Kim B.]

After that conversation it made me wonder if that just might be the prevailing attitude among people who are opposed to vaping. I hate it when people make uninformed assumptions.

Just 1 full PT II on one Sigelei V3 Tele with a fully charged 350. However, I took "a while" to figure out how to get supplies for 2 weeks on a cruise ship. That experience showed me that I don't need all the stuff I was carrying around town for just a few hours of being away from home base.

You wouldn't believe what we take with us when we go to Denver for a week. Good grief. If we got stuck there for 3 months we'd still have some left over. But, Mike is right, what if one of the juice bottles got squashed or lost or a charger (or 3 or 4) went bad etc. Even though there are vape shops you can't always be sure they'll have what you want. So, we don't quite need an additional suitcase for our vape gear, but only because all this extra stuff is very carefully packed in their own plastic boxes. One of these days somebody is going to go through our checked baggage and think we've packed for opening our own store!

 

[Iffy]

She is one of my v-verts and it sure does feel good!

As I've stated elsewhere, not many of us can assist in extending/saving a person's life. But v-verting a smoker is pri¢ele$$!

... but just can't see actually using those monsters in public.

Why not? Nuttin' to be ashamed of. Who ya gonna v-vert if da sheeple listen to da naysayers and don't see ya vaping and 'bakky free?!?!?

Iffy, dh and I are coming in on Friday and we're both aware of what a madhouse Tamps is going to be, but he's OK with that. Gosh, I sure do hope we can meet!

BINGO, that settles it! OK, see ya'll Friday then! I'll be da ol' ugly fart wid a beer belly and a worn ol' 'Nam hat. Hope your DH isn't too jealous, for I have a HUGE HUG fer ya.

Iffy...yep...hug on reserve for you for sure !

... when I go to work...

WHOA! Ya mean ya don't have dat handsome chauffeur wid ya all da time?

Oh my, don't get me started! Too bad our public educational system no longer teaches basic civics, American history and da birthing of our Bill of Rights and Constitution! Our founding Fathers have been turning in their graves for over 70 years.

BTW, how many folk know dat da Fed income tax was originally imposed on profits, NOT wage income? Oh well, time fer moi to move on... to da back porch!

I've found anti-vaping feelings a lot among smokers who either don't want to quit or don't think they can quit. So convincing themselves that vaping is bad for you or isn't quitting allows them to not feel bad that they haven't quit. One guy at work showed a little interest in vaping then the next day tells me a friend of his got a lung infection from vaping and no way in hell would he do it as it's worse for you than smoking and I should quit vaping.

Me - the doctor specifically told him it was from vaping?
Him - yes
Me - what tests did the dr run to determine this?
Him - I don't know
Me - how old is your friend?
Him - I don't know (really? great friend)
Me - were his lungs already compromised from something else?
Him - No clue
Me - where did he get is vape juice - was it made in the US?
Him - No idea
Me- did he have an allergy to any of the ingredients?
Him - don't know
Me - can you ask your friend this, please, as I'd really like to find out?
Him - don't know when I'll see him again....

Him - don't know when I'll see him again....

Ego batteries are the mainstay of vaping. They are the ideal for going out in public. Can carry on a lanyard or in a pocket. Little ego batteries for stealth. Twists for power. I've tried taking my mods out in public. I hate it. People stare too much, like I'm crazy or something.

Ahh, the "public!" I just read another article in my local (North Carolina) newspaper talking about how lots of places are banning e-cigs, but a lot of others haven't seen a problem yet so haven't "joined in" to the "need" to make a RULE. Gahhhhh! This is so upsetting.

I know this concept is covered in so many ways, in so many places... but good grief, our "baby" is SO in danger of being flushed with the proverbial bathwater. A few years ago, I drove cross-country, California to NC (female 'of a certain age') in a SUV hauling a trailer, transporting my 2 dogs and 2 cats, by myself. I had to stop and sleep in some kind of off-the-trail places, attempting to save money and find pet-friendly motels.

At one stop, two gents stopped me as I was re-filling my cooler with ice (that kept my food for the travel) before departing for the day's drive at about 4am. They said "ok, we've been talking about it, and we're trying to figure out whether you're military or a cop." I am neither. But I WAS a fitness geek, and I guess I have a habit of striding around with my shoulders squared, or something.

I do that now when I'm vaping, and so far it works. This is pretty much a-propos of nothing, except as a comment on the state of the "public"'s opinion on this weird new thing of vaping. If they see you, and you look like you know what you're doing and shouldn't be messed with, they sometimes don't mess with you.

I don't like the trend, and I don't like that lots of people/legislatures have decided that if they don't know, they object. I WANT these people that say "its health effects haven't been studied" to STUDY IT AND UNTIL THEN, HUSH your mouths and your RULES! Talk to US, we know! All of us that know for darned sure that we are waaay better off, and otherwise would be clouding the skies with cigarette smoke, and are now occasionally scenting the air with cocoa vapor or some otherwise nice stuff! GEEZ!

Take a look at this video.
You can ignore most of it, but it does show you how easy it is, make the cutest little coil you ever saw.

Machine screw coil wrap for Vivi Nova / Kanger T3 - YouTube

I've seen another one of Dave's videos and it's what gave me the courage to attempt making my own coil as well as understanding how my Evod works so I could troubleshoot if needed. Of course, Mike was more than happy to show me how to do a coil and he's a great teacher so it was easy to have success right off the bat. How lucky am I to have a resident vaping guru!
