Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[2legsshrt]

Well I mixed up the last of my VG with equal amounts of PG in a Mason jar. Only flavor I had besides Russian stuff was some of Ginnys. To get the flavors I want they aren't shipping till the 7th because of some big vape thing in Texas and it takes a 21 day steep so I figure I gotta get some premade stuff. I found some really good deals but I don't know how good the stuff is. Anybody ever tried Fuggin ejuice. They have a deal with 600ml for $60 5 different flavors your choice. Then they have the smaller bundle with 360ml for $40 3 bottles.

Sure a lot of people making flavor extracts nowadays. Plus you don't know who's reviews to believe they could be biased in some way shape or form.

Nope, never heard of them. Is that a local brew?

Once... 'Fuggin' disappointment fer moi...

The Vape Show in Dallas is the big one that was supposed be here in Houston. It had to be cancelled because the venue was being used for shelter during & after Hurricane Harvey. They couldn't reschedule here because everything was booked, so they moved it to Dallas this time.

Seems like there is much more equipment available than ecf can review lately. Remember when we used to discuss the heck out of everything new thing, lol?
Got a nice topper to replace my Nautilus and it's hardly being discussed (Joyetech Exceed). Looking at a squeeze able mod to replace my Zelos (ikuun), nothing. Saw a very nice AIO box like the billet box-nothing...

There are a few things keeping me from looking for new stuff. One, since I started using Kayfuns, I don't have a need to look at toppers. Two, I have no need for a mod as the K1 is just really performing wonderfully. Then again, I also have too much month left at the end of my bills.
I was just thinking the other day about how fortunate I am. Since I have started vaping and quit smoking I have made some really wonderous friends both online and in the B&Ms I frequent. There is one B&M that I have gone to since I first started vaping. I have stopped in a couple times in the last couple months just to say hi to them. I have all of the gear and juice supplies that will last me for a long time. Everything I need I have at home or I can get cheaper online.

Well maybe that's part of the issue here. Maybe I'm one of the few that didn't stock up for last August. Nah, people are still buying. It's all rta and replaceable battery mods tho.

I guess if I want to talk about mtl factory coils and lipo mods-I need to find another forum.

Maybe thats what's going on with my lungs. That would be nice, instead of something worse. Wishful thinking.

A friend has had terrible lung trouble, made worse by vaping. She could not find a combination of PG/VG ratio with sufficient nicotine that didn't cause her a lot of trouble. She needs something in the 12-18 range, but anything over 3-6 just irritates her lungs too much.

I suggested that she try MTN (mouth-to-nose), since the mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, and throat are more efficient than lungs anyway for absorbing nicotine. Take a lung full of clean air, then take a mouthful of vapor. Now begin exhaling slowly out through the nose as you gradually close down the mouth cavity, slowly adding vapor to the stream of exhaled air. Let the vapor pass through the nose slowly. You will be astounded at how much nicotine you get. It worked for her, letting her vape 12 mg/ml..

BTW, if you normally use MTL or DTL, you will want to be cautious about trying this with your normal strength juice. It will extract more nicotine than you might expect. You may get a bit of dizziness or even get a bit nic-sick.

While those are both discussed down here Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux) there are also still blister packs and internal battery devices still brought up. And, of course, factory coil toppers will work fine on a replaceable battery mod

Don't worry - some day all that blue foam you are hoarding will come back and you will be ready... Or is that Iffy?

he, he ... I did some vape accumulation clean up this weekend. And yep, I ran across a pack of the blue foam.

I started with six batteries, three chargers, and a half dozen 5 packs of cartos in various flavors and strengths. I quickly learned that six-and-three weren't even close to enough (I ended up with nine-and-dozens) and that strengths below 36 were useless.

I started with 2 510 sticks and quickly accumulated more and a multi charger.

My Jac being my new favorite every day mod ever has really been taking a beating. The battery cover looked like hell so I'm going to try some plasti dip.

Nice! Looks good!

We like the JAC too. Both my wife and I each have 2 of 'em.

Thanks @Iffy I think I will just order enough of the Adore to get me through till the steeping is done. The Custard seems to be on that has the least effect on me and the Peach Colada so will order enough premade stuff because this juice just doesn't taste right until at the minimum 18 days. I sure would like to get on of those Kayfun Primes it seems as though the MTL bothers me the least and an occasional lung hit. And using these Kabukis work but I miss the TC.

Why can't you use TC with the Kabuki's?

They use a nautilus head and the ones they have for TC suck. So need to have my own coil.

I never did get the blue foam. Before I got around to it, I tried dripping. That worked fine.

Mine only has 5 ports.

It gets great reviews! Maybe with income tax refund.

Hard to believe you only found one - during my clean up last year - I finally threw away the small amount I still had and quite a lot of bits and pieces of other stuff I had. I got my gear stash down to one drawer now...

Do you remember the atty dripper - I loved it for awhile... It was one of the things I cleaned out last year - still had a couple left...

Impressed! Almost tempted to say Jealous. But, I'm aiming at being stockpiled for 20 years. I guess it could be done in one drawer. But, there wouldn't be any variety!

Was that one of those things that made dripping more or less automatic, maybe?

Ahhhhh. Didn't know that!

I love to hear stories about the beginnings of vaping. I can not imagine doing any of it tho. I think I got into it at a time when things had developed to a point that it was so easy to do, adjust, & work simply. Low stressn & minimal effort. Building my own coils, & making my own juice are all the brain, time & effort I'm willing to devote to it. After that it's just work, & a distraction. My oldest devices are a couple of ego batteries, wall warts, , & cords. Oh, & lanyards for them. Then a couple of MPV 2's, 2 sizes of Nautilus tanks., 4 tiny Aspire K1 tanks that go well with the ego batts. All stored away. I do have a bit of fish filter for the Promety clone. Don't use it but it's interesting.

Enough variety for me and that of course is only hardware - I keep my juice ingredients in a fridge / freezer. I have 4 different mods and 4 different tanks (multiples of each). Now that I have cleaned up my stash I have thought a little about adding to it a little, but I am in no hurry. I am also good for 20+ years...

Yep, in a way something like squonking - it held 1ml... Actually worked pretty good, but tanks came out shortly afterwards and it lost its uniqueness...

Day-um frugal <and vapin' sated> showoff!!!

There have been a few attempts to find a way to drip without having to actually drip. Squonking is the obvious solution. But, until recently VV/VW squonkers just didn't exist, not affordable ones anyway.

Boy, have times changed!
