Yeah, knee aspiration suck. Went through that for too long before finally having to have it replaced. Great news on the doc story though!

I was really surprised how well he took it and the questions he asked. More professional and scientific type questions, that I answered the best I could. He certainly didn't give the impression that he was against it in any way and you know how some doctors are. We talked about the recent study about 2nd hand vapor and that there is no danger to the vapers or anyone around them. And I relayed what information I could remember. My memory sux, it's a medical thing, he's aware of it. His wife smokes and he's always on her about it. I think she will be the first one he approaches and I'll probably get a call from Jennifer (his wife). We're fairly good acquaintances, wouldn't say friends, but not the normal Dr/patient relationship. I'd do anything I could to help them out. He didn't even charge me for draining my knee, just the usual $50 office fee. (That's my rate anyway, he knows the financial situation.) Oh and he also said that me not smoking would certainly save me money and asked how much it 'cost' me to vape each month, in relation to the amount I spent on cigs. Told him it was $190 for smokes and about $30 for juice (me diy'ing of course). He was amazed at the cost difference. If I had to buy juice, it would probably cost me from $60-90 a month, but that's still half as much, if not more. Was a really good conversation and I feel like we got 1 more person on our side. 
Just stumbled across something for the ladies and the gents, if your lady vapes. Check out Home . Right now you can get 30% off with the code tVB30. They aren't inexpensive by any stretch, but do have some pretty, girlie stuff. (don't know if it linked to the site, if not, just copy/paste)

That's a good deal with a 1100 mAh battery. But knowing Dr and wife, her beginner setup would be a Provari!

If I were a doctor's wife I know mine would be!
My wife love the Eroll and Ecab for the size being a nurse she like the size ..doesn't really like my mods she says they are just to big to handle with her small hands I agree so i got her enough ecab and eroll batteries ...they are nice and under 50 bucks can't loose..

My doctor was very encouraging, when I saw him mid-January, and told him I was about to try a really sincere effort to quit via e-cigs; I wasn't sure if I could actually quit, but hell, I've tried everythng else. I figured I could at least cut way down on the smokes, and that would be a good thing in its own right. He wished me good luck, and really hoped e-cigs would work for me.
I'm looking forward to my next check-up with him, so I can share the good news -- it worked! Now he can tell all those ladies I would always see out on the sidewalk polluting the air and their lungs -- I know the reason he didn't nag me more about it is that compared to those ladies, I barely smoked at all! I'm sure he'll be delighted to tell them all that a cure has been found.
Oh! The other day I remembered that one of the previous times I tried to quit, I got a lapel pin from the ACS, that says "I've just quit smoking, please BEAR with me" with a teddybear... tonight I went spelunking thru my jewelry box and found it! I put it on, but truly, no one would ever know from my demeanor that I've just quit -- unless the pure joy gave it away!

Much too rich for my blood. But if I could afford to buy a full setup there, I'd get either a Reo or Provari kit.
WOW...that looks like exactly what I was looking for! I take care of my things pretty well, but I don't baby them either. Also a lot of outdoor activities. Rain, snow, freezing cold, blistering hot, I like to get out in all of it. And I have cracked the glass on my Zmax already and that was the toughest mod I could find!
Somewhere, perhaps Vapor Joe's, I saw a deal for that toughened device. Wish I remembered where
My suggestion...
I'm sure you remember well enough that you could say "my last cigarette was sometime in October" (where you're inserting the appropriate month) and be truthful. Which also means saying "I've not smoked since November 1st" (appropriate month + 1) would be true. So do the banner that way.

I saw a review of that somewhere. It is not really waterproof, only barely water-resistant.
yep...that is what i saw as well. Looks a little large compared to my MVP. Seems kind of silly to go through all that for a "durable" device when a basic mech is $30 bucks. That is what i use when i go camping or boating.
Dual Coil 510 Tank Cartomizer...That's a better price than FastTech's $10.42 (although the FT one is Glass and 6.0ml.)
$10.42 Splash Anodized Glass Carto Tank Kit (6.0mL) - 1.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Gun Metal Artemas Tube..."Locking Bottom cap to keep your carto from sliding out"...I've never had a CartoTank "slide out". Had one with a "locking cap" and all it did was slow me down when refilling.
