My wife quit shortly before I did. She used Chantix. Stopped that after 2 weeks because of horrible nightmares but somehow it did get her off the cigs. Then she was having some withdrawal problems and someone advised her to try vaping. We had both been using cigalikes for years with not much success, but I went out and got her an Evod and one for myself. Worked for her. It took me months and some better gear to quit.

Anyway the wife was using zero nic. After a while she got to where she was only taking a hit every few days when she got stressed. Got her Spinners and PT's.

Earlier this year we had some difficult times and she asked me to put some nic in her PT's. She liked it and carried on using nic. Started vaping more. She said it helped her focus and reduced her appetite.

Last week her PT's needed new heads and I didn't have any ready. I was busy working a lot of hours so I gave her a Nautilus tank. She loved it so now I've got her set up with a Nauti and a Pico and she's vaping up a storm.

Not sure how I feel about it, her going from occasional zero nic vaping to that. But it's her choice. Does mean I need to revisit my stockpile calculations though.

The Essential Depot seems much better.
I've always used them. Well the one time I bought. Still on my first gallon of pg and vg that I got 2.5 years ago. anyhow, glad you're doing better. I trust ED for good stuff.

I spent more on Black Friday than I've spent in a while. 6 batteries, 2 flavorings, 3 storage containers, and a book.

I'm most excited about the storage containers, as usual. One container for RDAs and two containers for flavorings. I especially like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IYMCJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0185R8KZG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&th=1. That's enough storage for 96 flavorings.
oh those containers are kewl. I need sumpthin like that to organize my flavors. Right now they are in zip lock bags.

I ordered three cucumbers from Liion Wholesale last night.
ahhhhhh I thought you meant one of the VTC ones.

she's still not using much nic, and at least she's not smoking.

I need to get new batts. Have been using the tootsie rolls, but was thinking of trying the VTC 5a I don't think he'd do this, but I could have sworn they were cheaper before the sale. I want to get 6 and don't have enough for that right now, so think I'll wait for the Christmas sale.

I got 4 tootsie rolls from RTD earlier this week (when the sale started). Delivered yesterday.
Really great batteries. I looked at some of the new more expensive ones but I have 0 complaints with these been using them a long time and still working great. Lasting a little less time but still not bad. Good time to grab em tho.

Yes, it certainly does. But, it never hurts to have a little extra. It's so cheap right now!

Thank you!

I have mine in plastic peanut butter jars. I have masking tape on each jar with the type of flavors. Fruit, Tobacco, Creamy, etc.

That means I have to dump out the whole jar and rummage through stuff.

It works well enough. But, it's not a pleasurable way to do it.

I recently bought this for my Provari collection. Plenty of room for mods, spare end caps, extension caps and rings, beauty rings, and spare springs. All in a pretty container.

I tend to think in terms of functionality. But, in the end, what works is a combination of functionality and aesthetics. If it isn't, at least, mildly pleasant to look at, I am not happy with it.

Nice little container. Very similar to what I am using - except I filled mine up and then slip the entire thing into a drawer...

I have been very happy with them for several years. Great price to get some new ones.

Surely it's not as pretty as this one (sparkly!). Otherwise, you couldn't possibly hide it away like that!
Is it me or are there even more vendors lately?
Yes, it does.

What was OOS? I just order 4 tootsie rolls (LG's) last night.

AW 18650, 18490 and 18350. :(

I know which batteries are called tootsie rolls. Which are the cucumbers?

I didn't know either but wondered what a noob might think reading this. :lol: It was hard figuring out what people were talking about back when I joined but eventually got it all down. Now I'm back to scratching my head a lot again.

My wife quit shortly before I did. She used Chantix. Stopped that after 2 weeks because of horrible nightmares but somehow it did get her off the cigs. Then she was having some withdrawal problems and someone advised her to try vaping. We had both been using cigalikes for years with not much success, but I went out and got her an Evod and one for myself. Worked for her. It took me months and some better gear to quit.

I weened myself off the nic and was all proud of myself. Still vaped like a steam train but had the nic monkey off my back. Couple of months later I got curious what the nic was like and tried a little bit (3mg) of it. Wow, I felt like me again. Less tense, less stressed, happier, better concentration. Sounds like what's happening with your wife. It's making her happier. Shame for the stash but she is happier which equals healthier.

I've always used them. Well the one time I bought. Still on my first gallon of pg and vg that I got 2.5 years ago. anyhow, glad you're doing better. I trust ED for good stuff.

I don't even buy mush stuff, hence don't pay attention, but I'm glad it's not just me that has noticed more vendors around. :)

Maybe have a look at this, amoret:

$25.64 *SALE* Authentic Wismec Reuleaux RX75 75W TC VW APV Box Mod - 1-75W / 200-600'F(100-315'C) / 1*18650 / aluminum alloy at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have a couple, really nice mod. Just squeeze to fire, no button hunting. (And the opaque metal screen/button cover can be replaced with the provided translucent one. Different "accent" colors are available as well. Will do TC if/when you want to go there (I haven't).

I just got my Wismec Reuleaux from Fasttech Tuesday and so far I love it. It is heavier than I'm used to, but the squeeze on/off is fantastic - much easier on my hands than buttons have been. Since I can't move around much and one of my meds causes an exceptional sweet tooth I've grown a nice fat belly to rest/set things on

That is great! Glad you found a new mod that works well for you. Mods are a little like shoes. They can look good, be the right size & shape, but if they don't feel good then they just aren't right for you.

Glad it's a good fit for you! I swapped the translucent covers onto both of mine, I like to be able to see what's going on. Although with it's design, you're not going to accidentally change settings, so it may or may not be an issue for you.

As mentioned in a few threads, the mechanical lock switch MAY be a weak point, so I just don't use it. If accidental firing is a problem, just turn it off. The way I carry - either in a "holster" or a shirt pocket - I don't have any issues with that, so mine don't even get that treatment.

@mattiem, here's mine.

Besides the Provari collection in the right bottom set of drawers, I've got drip tips, adapters, beauty rings, and such.

Aren't they beautiful?
Yes they are :wub: Yours are much prettier than the harbor freight containers I have all my little parts in.
