Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

That's just Deb's way of letting me know she still cares...

Jup, Deb is quite proactive about her affection for you.

The whole flashlight? Why not just the suspect batt?

Take it back out. If the battery overheats, so will the case it's in. The flashlight is likely ok.

Muffed that royally. We used the same new flashlight/18650 combo to do the dog's ears and it started to heat up again. Switched the battery to the good, old flashlight a while after that and left it on for 5 minutes. No warming up. THEN the new flashlight was re-homed in the trash. But I did get the message posted before another tree fell on the power lines and I sat in the dark for several hours, so there is that.

It was the case that we felt warming up.

Is the new flashlight a significantly higher lumen output? More light, like more power, will require the battery provide a higher current.

You know we got some flashlights from Costco. One is a large one with a heck of a beam but it comes with 3 smaller ones also with a great beam, the hold 4 AAA size batteries and they last about 45 min.

Been using 18650 flashlights for a long time.
It's normally just a dirty ground that causes the case to get hot.

My dad smoked unfiltered Kools <snip>

The surfers' cigarette. Now if he could strike a safety match on a wet bar of soap, he'd have had it covered.

Now dat really would be kool!

Some of my grandma's lye soap would probably work. That stuff took the hair right off ya...

I wouldn't go 40. Try the 20. It's amazing what a couple of mg will do.

Already have the 20 mg from salt nix called apothecary. Fantastic stuff.

It comes is the 20 mg and the 40 mg. No inbetween

Have you tried the 20mg? If you are using 18mg mic, 20 is a couple of mg higher & might be enough to slow your chain vaping.

You can mix equal amounts of each and make 30, if the 40 proves to be too much.

And what makes it fantastic? At only those %s, it's going to run up the cost of liquid.

No, it's the same as the last ones.

These will take three triple As or a 18650. We need them to last over an hour so use the rechargable option.

.... cap connection looks okay but can't disassemble the head so the trash is the safest place for it. They were cheap so a dud isn't surprising, just a bummer.

I don't understand them either, even after doing a brief search.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANET!!!

No? How about this one?

My grandma made lye soap. It was strong, but when the balance between the lye and the fats was right (it usually was) it was just a good strong soap. She mostly used it in an old washing machine (the kind with a separate extractor). She had a tool that would carve thin curls of soap from the bucket she made the soap in.

IMO it's best that some skills are lost forever.
My grandmother made that stuff until the day she died. Gawd I hated washing up with it!

Okay question of the day!!!

You are driving down the road and you are coming up to an intersection where you need to make a turn. As you approach - you have a desire for a vape.

Which of the following closest represents your actions?

A. You take a short quick vape - drop your PV - then make the turn safely with both hands.

B. You forego the short vape, but hold the PV in your hand throughout the turn so that it will be quickly available after you complete the turn.

C. You stop at the intersection - enjoy your vape and then after you finish - continue with your turn and then drive down the road.

D. You responsibly set your PV down - make your turn and once successfully and safely completed - you have your vape as you continue your journey...

E. None of the above - (clarify)...

Definitely D. I have a drink kuzi lined with carpet in a drink holder that makes it easy to drop the mod in and pick it up, there is no excuse not to deal with the drive first . Besides executing turns getting the truck up on two wheels without flipping takes concentration and both hands.

Guess.

Kidding, safety first. There's enough distracted drivers out there that defensive driving is the only way to go.

Defiantly a "B" here.
I have an insert in the cup holder for 4 PV's. But, those are for the extras & backups. My PV never leaves my hand.
