Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[AndriaD]

Andria, isn't it weird that the only connection people think of to cigarettes is the nicotine? Geeze, maybe we should keep flyers to hand out to people to tell them about the other crap that's NOT included in vaping!! It's frustrating.

Yes, and a lot of that complete BS about trading one addiction for another. When both of them asked me about that, I said, yes, I'm replacing the nicotine with the lowest available mg, because any more of it makes me quite ill, however I'm NOT inhaling those other 2,999 carcinogens that are in cigarette smoke, and that nicotine in pure form is not a dangerous substance at these levels, it is no more dangerous than the caffeine in coffee, tea, and colas. This seemed to carry some weight with my mom, who is not stupid, and who quit herself using the patch and the gum. With her, I also went on to tell her it was of benefit in treating cognitive disorders such as dementia -- which her mom, my grandmother, suffered for the last 15 yrs of her life. That did seem to impress her, and I have a feeling we might discuss that further.

Conversely, we were stopped at a traffic light once and 3 guys in the car next to us saw Mike blowing clouds of vaper. They rolled down the window and asked Mike what he was using. They're eyes were big as saucers! ZMax e-Cig he yelled!! Of course I don't think they were interested in joose...

I can so completely see that.

"Dude!!!!"

LMAO!

As for that lazy mail lady of ours... I think I should ask her, would you close the mailbox if I gave you money? If she says yes, I'll report her as extorting me for money just to do her job properly. I already complained to the post office about the mailbox being left open, to no effect whatever, but maybe they'd actually do something about one of their personnel extorting the public.

Wonder if a letter to the editor would get some attention? Other people might chime in. I mean, it's just closing the mailbox door for pity sake. Doesn't mean much to them but to the receiver it could be pretty costly!! Whether it's medications or legal documents or vape stuff. And identity theft is big these days!

Hey folks, It's my first post in this section so be kind.
I'm not only worried about big brother trying to remove our vaping enjoyment but also taxing it like cigarettes. I quit smoking not only for the health benefit but 9 bucks a pack was crazy. I did understand the burden that cigarettes put on health care and accept the fact that those taxes were supposed to offset those cost. It seems now the government is going to try to recoup lost revenue on us again for no reason and no proof. Well I have much more but I can assure you it will go into a larger rant and I think everyone knows where it's going. Anyway hello everyone!

Hi there!

I think that e liquid will end up being heavily taxed.

I will also not be surprised that in the not so distant future the availability of DIY nicotine base to the general public will be restricted, and that the mg level of what will be available will be significantly lower than you can presently buy. I also think that what will be available will be heavily taxed.

....snipped for brevity...
I know there is a whole group of OCD vapers who think gaps are awful but none of PVs/APVs/mechs I have are gapless. It just goes with the territory.

Zmax is SS through and through including the threads so no protection needed. A Vamo, yes. I use a separate air flow controller (not the PT AFCs).

Like Janet said, they're Davide's on top of the Zmax's in the picture, which are 19mm in diameter, the same as the top of the tapered part of the Zmax. Most any of the common toppers and most standard carto tanks should 'line up' just fine on a Zmax.

Thank you both! I feel a little more confident now with my purchase. And I had to dig around on the net to find out the size of the Davide. I thought they were 19mm, because I have one and the beauty ring is also 19mm, so I figured they were the same.

I'm not so OCD that it has to be perfect but appearance does matter to me. Unless it gets to the point of vapocalipse, then I don't give a rat's behind what it looks like! I'd vape out of a Bud can if I could make it work!

Thanks Ya'll!

But I spread it out over 2 1/2 years not 2 months. And besides hanging out on the porch I spend a lot of time in the co-ops. That really helped me build my stock and keep prices down. All the Zmax's, T-Max, VTR, R91, AGAs, AGT, Davides, Vivia Nova's, Sig 19's came from co-ops and the real DIDs and Cobra (opps forgot to list that one) came from the classies for like 1/2 price. Still a bunch of $'s but I wouldn't have what I have if I paid full retail for it all. I''m a sucker for a good co-op.



You're gonna fit in right nice around here.

What are co ops?

I may just buy a nic freezer...don't tell the wife

I thought we were talking sports? Just kidding! I suppose Nascar might be considered a sport.

You know i'm just pickin'! Have a lot of friends that are HUGE Nascar fans, but it never appealed to me, even though my dad ran stock cars when I was a kid.



OOOPs and I need a mech mod! (keeping it on topic!)

Good evening all... I am so lucky to have a fabulous mail carrier. I live in a small community and the same person delivers mail to the shop and our hope. I do go out of my way to talk with him on a daily basis, ask him how things are going in his world etc. He gets almost as excited about my vape mail as I do

We get all our financial stuff "paperless" for exactly that reason. But my asthma inhalers, and my husband's BP meds, they're NECESSARY, and frankly so is my vape stuff, especially right now that I've quit smoking and really need the nicotine AND the behavioral support. (I've also heard things from the ignorant like, that e-cigs, or even antidepressants for cryin out loud, are a "crutch." I just say, well you wouldn't kick a crutch away from a guy with a broken leg, would you?)

We're just really hoping that she'll be by on a Saturday, which does seem to happen a lot, when my husband is working out in the yard -- it's almost spring, after all. She won't soon forget a chat with him, I'll guarantee that!

heh... I live in the same town as the Atlanta Speedway... but when I think of NASCAR, I think of rednecks with beer in hand and beer belly proudly stuck out, hollerin their damn fool heads off... I've never gotten it at all. Simple pleasures for simple minds, I always say!

I got a question for the DIYers: If I vape 50/50 juices, is it logical to order nic in a 50/50 base? I've read through some of the stickies in the DIY forum and read some blogs but I can't really find an answer. Wouldn't I then add additional pg and vg bases in equal amounts to my desired nic level to keep the juice at 50/50?

Welcome, Legolas, glad to meet you. Best place to park it awhile!

As the wife of a hellacious DIY mechanic minded hubby who rebuilt an old Chevy to a sleeper stealth monster and the sis in law of a GM mechanic who's even better than his brother at rebuilding, I've come to appreciate that "need for speed" feeling they share. You won't find them in the stands with their guts stickin' out and hootin' and hollerin' with beer in hand, they'll be down around the pits talking to the teams and checking out the cars.
