Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[2legsshrt]

@LittleBird if you have any questions on how to change modes or make adjustments don't be afraid to ask. I take it you aren't here anymore. I took a nap. Will look up the FW version for that. They are a little difficult to upgrade at first but once you get the hang its not too bad.

 

[2legsshrt]

@LittleBird it is also v2.36 and you need 7zip which is a free software that will extract .rar files which is what YiHi uses you get it at yihiecigar.com make sure you don't get the Chinese version. It's probably not needed depending on the type of wire you use.

 

[2legsshrt]

Oh oh I see the mod got me again. I thought I was being ok but guess not. Oh well. Just one of my experiences but you did have to be 18 to go there.

 

[Iffy]

Think I might have to get a couple more K5's for my Orings.

Dat'$ one way to look at it!

 

[LittleBird]

@2legsshrt - Pat, thanks for the helpful tips! I do have an SX Mini, and have never upgraded the software. Good to know what to look for!

That's a porchers way to look at it...

Just depends on what kind of wire you use whether you need the upgrade. Although from what I've been reading the upgrades will be illegal after the deeming. They made some good changes for Ti but they added the SX pure setting and as far as I know the actual atomizer never did get to market before Aug 8th so no need for that. Plus the made the TCR setting available which is nice.

 

[2legsshrt]

It all depends on which model you have. They stop updating them when they came out with a new model. So my M's will do exactly what the ML's do but not quite as efficiently or as fast.

 

[2legsshrt]

@LittleBird let me know once you find out what version you have and I'll try to help you if you want to upgrade the firmware. It's not nearly as easy as the dna's

Most definitely! Glad that you had such a wonderful getaway and found your way back. And, now I suspect a caribou hunt in your near future. (Wish I could go!)

Yaayyyy!! Packin' up and getting ready to travel is a bit of a pain, but I'm sure you're excited to get back home! Glad that you got the top cap off, too.

And yep! Two days after Valentine's Day. I'm a lover; not a fighter. But, I'll fight for the ones I love!

Nah, you aren't as bad as you think you are, Ms. Bea... We've occasionally needed reminding by the mods, but most times, we manage to police ourselves.

Absolutey agree! I don't even know where I'd wanna start... prolly just go straight to Von's and make him drag me around and show me all the cool stuff!

I never did see any of the caves in Europe. I have been to some of the larger "commercial" caves here in the states. It's pretty cool to go on those little tours, but I think I liked the small little caves that you could just wander into and explore on your own. The formations and caverns weren't as fancy or impressive as the larger ones, but there's just something about discovering it on your own that made it better for me. Of course, hindsight being what it is, I'd never do that now without a completely different approach. Young and dumb proves that ignorance is bliss, but luck is the reason that I'm still here today. Caves can be extremely dangerous, and I'm very lucky that I didn't get trapped in one with no oxygen!

I say we meet at Von Vape's and take it from there.

I debated with myself about putting this up after the massacre and I’m glad I did because I had a vaping epiphany. Get to it in a minute because I need help fixing the problem.

We do have some caves around here but there are apparently some bats that will abandon them if they smell human presence. No clue which have the bats so I stay out of them all.

Over a year ago some bats started to go on our evening walk with us. They flew by and squeaked, I whistled back and it soon became a year-round nightly thing. Trying to get a sentence out is challenging.

“We went to (squeak) Safeway (whistle) and got some ice (squeak) cream but (whistle) forgot the cooler (squeak) bags and (whistle) had to (squeak) eat it (sigh, vape, whistle) all out (squeak) in the (whistle) parking lot.” (Squeak!)

I’m not complaining, it’s fun. There’s been a massive decline in bats and moths since all the trees died here last/this year and it devastating. We’ll take all the squeaking we can get.


Vaping help needed – In the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed a change in my voice (lower, almost monotone), dry throatish cough and my lips so dry it takes several tries to be able to whistle back at the bats. While considering posting the above I realized, tadah!, I switched to unflavored juice about the time the problem started. Haven’t had that for over three years when I first started vaping. Memory fades with age. So the question is; is adding a sterile saline solution to the mix the remedy to the drying?

The humidity here has been critically low, fire danger wise, single digits to low twenties a lot of the time so exacerbating the situation. I’ll add a wee bit of flavoring tomorrow to see if that helps but dang, I’m saving a small fortune vaping plain.

I only keep the good ones. I like a lot of variety and mostly I mix by what feels good at the time. My tried and true mixes are known by heart, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like with this or that - I always make a note of what I did, but forgot on this one, but I will still enjoy it.

To date my best juice mix ever was my scrap discard collection - have not an inkling of what had all been dumped in. But it was delicious...

You know, I've seen a lot of people mention that their "dump bottle" was the best juice they ever had. Don't remember anyone saying what it tasted like but they loved it. There's a lot of new mixers out there so a word of advice; if you have a dump bottle, record what you put in or be another Semi. Sorry Semi.

See Semi? It's the go anywhere, do anything, multi purpose tool wielded by the purple people punisher.


We're right there with you two and with the same reasoning. K.I.S.S. works for us.

Okay, I don't know what was said but you guys had better behave or Deb (aka the purple people punisher) is going to have to break out the frying pan AGAIN!!!

Good Afternoon All!!!

Purple people punisher? Look out Deb!!!

Hmmm, I might just have to borrow that...

Beware The Pan.

Yipes that is horrible shipping. Do they have a regular first class option? Or is priority the lowest??

My first impression was that was Retired being dragged out of the doghouse.

That's a porchers way to look at it...

Or a stockers.

 

[LittleBird]

@FlamingoTutu, what are you vaping? Was the flavoring you used PG-based? Both PG and VG are humectants, though I thought VG has a higher humectant value. Dunno, but I'd guess it's the lack of humidity that's at issue. I'm wondering if another solution to the arid air might be a humidifier...

Thanks for sharing about the bats. Do they squeak back at you?

go find a good book or take your laptop,, into the smallest bathroom,, turn on the shower (hot water) and steam the room. meantime seriously blow your nose, brush your teeth,, make sure you are using rayon. and see if lack of humidity is your problem. i live in humid as heck houston,,, and had to go buy a humidifier earlier this year. it worked until the humidity came back.. ---or go buy/borrow one.

Bad idea. Electronics (especially laptops) don't take kindly to that.

Double that with hearing loss, and squeaks from feedback, and communication would become impossible.

TuTu, that would destroy the very concept of the dump bottle.

I once read that in a humid climate, raise your PG. In a dry climate, raise your VG. After yesterday, I should be using 95% PG, wish I could send you some rain, Tutu.

 

[Fozzy71]

ha, dump bottle. Why had I not thought of that already. I used to do the same thing with my bourbon. When I had less than a jigger in any bottle it went in to a decanter which I would not drink from until it was nearly full. It was usually very good.

I have a decent sized batch of 1% BRY4 from NN that I am no longer a fan of so I tried adding some cinnamon danish to it and still not a fan. I considered diluting it with unflavored to soften the berry notes more but now I am thinking dumping in some of the 20 and 30 ml testers I made that won't get made into bigger batches might be the way to go. Thanks all for bringing up this topic.

Well I can see all of you guys that live in "The Great Unknown" east of me have gone to bed. So I will finish watching this series called Narcos about Pablo Escabar. Really good but you have to be a fast reader cause most of it is in Spanish with subtitles. And they talk fast.

I had a marathon of that the last time I stayed with Mr Mackelton T. Corgi (who now has a brother). That & Amazon are about all they have there. I've now subscribed to Netflix.

 

[Kenna]

I was looking at spice racks for storing e-Liquids.

I can't find one big enough!

 

[Kenna]

Kenna, until you get those shelves...maybe a clear vinyl shoe hanger? They go over the door, are sectioned, and cheap!

I'd still be digging to find something. I have maybe 150 bottles. Some are duplicates since I start with small sizes to try them & if I like it, or use it a lot, I get a 4oz.
