The other day as I came up to a red light I looked in my rear view mirror and the guy driving the car behind me disappeared in a cloud of vape in his car - the vapor was literally that thick - then he added some more - you literally could not see into the car. As the light turned green I looked back - you could see him wave his arm in the cloud and then I guess he decided it was a little thick so he rolled down his windows - clouds poured from the car - as I shook my head I noticed the blue lights - I wonder what his explanation was - he did not make the 6 o'clock news...

@MattB101 was trying to sell his before moving back to Florida.


thanks darlin. this one won't be so bad. The first ones they did were 8 at a time, 4 on each side. Only a local anesthetic which probably burned more than if they had just done the shots. lol This one is only 3 on one side, but he asked if I wanted to do it under anesthesia. At first I said no........then said why the heck not if the ins will pay for it. lol I had 3 series of em the first time and finally stopped doing them because even though they helped with some of the pain and made me more flexible, they made the sciatic pain near unbearable! Dunno why I said they're tomorrow, it's actually at 1 pm today. :facepalm: The others really didn't hurt much, but I'll try it with anesthesia this time since he's going into a deeper place than they did before. They do it with xray in real time.


Jup I vaped in my son's room for 3 days. 3rd day as we were being discharged, nurse saw me holding it and said...... you know you can't use that in here, right! I said.......I'm just holding it. cuz that's all I was doing at the time. Wanted so bad to tell her I'd been vaping in there for 3 days and none of em had a clue. :rolleyes:
Yep when I had heart surgery had my wife bring me one of my tools of the trade. I almost got caught, I would take a puff and put it back in the drawer, well I did that and I would let it out slow but before I could the cardiologist came in to check on me and I had to sort of face away when I answered his questions. But other then that I got away with it.

Morning. I'd love to catch up right now, but I'm taking mom and the dog to a state park. There's a big rain cloud over the park, but this is Florida. So we go.

I love love love the story about the tent chicken. You know I would have done that. What a sweet thing too. Chickens make wonderful pets. Personality, eggs, don't care if you're in your pajamas, or having "morning" hair. Grateful for any little morsel. Make us realize how simple life can be. Love when you garden and turn over dirt. I could go on forever, but that's because I'm a moderator on chickenforum.

Can't NOT make a cloud? Take smaller hits. In public. Or turn down the temp.

In a pinch I'm liable to rent a uhaul and throw 9 roosters and 21 hens in the back and hope for the best.

Does anyone have a camper or camp? I'm looking into the possibility of getting a 2nd hand hybrid (regular camper with pop out tent beds). Not a popup. Anyone float down a river in a tube?
I totally agree about chickens. I love my hens. We broyght them to FL with us when we moved from up north. Wouldn't think of leaving them behind.

They did the real-time X-ray thing when my Bride had the nerve block done. They only used a local anesthesia, though, and she said that she'd never, ever do that again! Says it hurt worse than the pain that they were trying to treat!
I dont understand why they did that to her. It's cruel. Why couldnt they give her some twilight anesthesia?

Of course this was only the last 2 days there. The first 3 they had me so doped up I thought I was in a homeless shelter. It was really strange.

Have any of you noticed all these really small PV's they are coming out with. I think the latest one I saw was at Vapor DNA made by Eleaf but there are a bunch a little bigger then cigalike, I saw one called the Prince Von Erl system and you had to buy flavor cartridges only at 24mg and held 2ml. Seems like I get one everyday in emails from different companies.

No idea... that's just how that doctor does nerve blocks. She'll never let him do another one, and she straight out told him that. At the time, neither of us knew anything about how the procedure was usually done. She got pretty angry when she found out later that most people get knocked out for those...

Oh Deb! After reading @Kaezziel's post about what his bride suffered with that real-time xray i hope the anesthesia you were given knocked you out. Please let us know how you feel when you feel up to it. ((((((Hugs)))))

That doctor was an a--. That's why. I grew up with one. My father was an orthopedic surgeon and he was what you think of a superior, arrogant a--. Some of these doctors forget they're working on himans with feelings. Made my life a living hell. I left home at 17 and never went back.

For the record, I am sure that many would consider me a "cloud chaser". I use attys that have a lot of airflow. I almost always run pretty low sub-ohm builds. My juice never contains less than 70% VG. I vape what I like and how I like. But I don't vape and blow clouds when it would cause discomfort in others. I vape in my own home, in my own car, and usually am not around other people. When others are present, I either hold the vape in until there is a minimal amount expelled on the exhale, or I make sure to be downwind of people. I try to be responsible.

That being said:
"Hello. My name is Kaz, and I am a cloud chaser." :lol:



You're probably right, Ken. For whatever reason, the bar will continue to be moved so that we cannot adequately prove our case to the nay-sayers. I'm still happy with knowing that my personal health seems to have improved and has not taken any turns for the worse. I've reduced my nicotine from 42-36mg down to 5mg, and that is my happy place. I have no further desire to go any lower than that.
Kudos to you for actually doing some serious research before beginning to vape, though! :thumbs: I hate to admit it, but I did not. I saw the kiosk at the mall and jumped in with both feet. Fortunately, for me, it seems that it turned out to be one of the few good decisions I've made in my life. ;)

I think you're doing great with lowering the nicotine.
I did not do any research either. But I joined EFC.
Good for you to not make big clouds with annoyed people around.

He sounds like the surgeon I fired. I'm about to get started on my back issue. Have no idea what kind of Dr I should ask about.

Perhaps a Physiatrist? They specialize in chronic pain management and rehabilitation.

Just call the number and get a FREE device!!

Um... Yeah. Anyone else spot the scam?

Yep thats great Kazz. I'm thinking of lowering my flavor now because if I vape too much it makes my chest hurt. I'm sure it is the flavoring it is really strong even at 2% going to try 1.5%. It doesn't bother me if I don't chain vape and I know its not the nic at 3mg. I made Ginny some 6mg VGPG 50/50 and she likes it mixed with her 12mg about 50% so she is actually vaping about 9mg. I am not a cloud chaser but I'm not a tootle puffer either. I make some pretty good clouds sometimes but not like I've seen done. Course they have a lot more lung capacity then me. Some I've seen look like a fog bank blowin in.

Yeah didn't they pull that one way back when and you would end up with $80 worth of crap equipment? You have to give them a CC# to get it.
