First of all I'm in my fifties so there's no kid. Secondly as of 1898 Puerto Rico has been part of the United States if you don't believe me ask Teddy Roosevelt. Doesn't anybody take history classes in high school anymore?
Now I see what you were talking about after I re read this, I was talking about the kid in the store that called the cops cause you had an ecig in your pocket. Couldn't figure out what you were talking about when we talked today. Just couldn't believe anyone would call a cop for that. It does sound nice there tho. Just curious how many miles is it from end to end on the island? I thought you wouldn't have to worry about having an expensive car maybe 4 wheel drive would be handy tho. Read a story about a couple of 80 year olds that came here on one of the first evac flights out of there and they have been sitting in a hotel room crying wanting to go back ever since, kids didn't want them to cause he has early alzheimers and has to climb 16 stairs to get to his part of the house him and his wife I think its another relative lives on the first floor. The kids finally said ok you can go back so off they went and guess they are much happier now. All their kids but one I think live here. He said it was beautiful here but for the young, he was going back to paradise.

Between this and legs' post below, no way it would work for me
Yep IDK how the one that has the strongest flavor is, I got the smooth which is the least amount of throat hit, there are 2 stronger, at 12 nothing but still causing problems so going to go to the patch Tuesday.

hi guys very belated thanks for the congrats on the 5th vapeversary! I completely missed it LOL!

Life has been pretty busy and tough for me the last several months so I have not been around ECF much. I do think about and miss you guys often.

Since right before Christmas I have been dealing with my mother's declining health and eventual death (and all that goes with that). Things are slowly sorting out but it is taking some time to even get through the things I need to do. I haven't had much time to deal with the emotional side much yet. It will come when it comes. I have some high nic juice around for just that emergency.

I hope everyone is doing well and hope to be back with you guys on a regular basis soon.

MANY Hugs from an over tired and stressed purple kitty.
Take care of yourself, Myranny. Caretaking is a very loving act, but exhausting mentally, emotionally, & physically.

It used to be very nice here. The hurricane broke a lot of peoples spirit. 600,000 people left the first month after the storm. They're projecting another Million by the end of the year. If we get hit with another hurricane this year, it's over. This is the second hurricane I've lived through. The first one was Andrew in Miami in 1992. The people here are just scared. I thought about moving back to the mainland many times since the storm. But that means I have to walk away from all my belongings and start over again. Let'me say this. There's been a lot of talk about the federal government's lack of care for the Commonwealth. That's a complete lie. Base Ramey was activated and there was military action all over this island. Navy Coast Guard and Marines. Yes we were getting very desperate for water. Luckily it rained and we collected water to drink. Food was getting scarce. And then the Army came and gave us meals ready to eat. The United States government did a wonderful job helping out it's island. Will we stay here?
Probably not. Hendersonville NC.
that's where I'll go. I'm not going back to Florida too many Puerto Ricans there.lol

I'm going to try as calculate my juice consumption, so I'm posting it here. :D

Just mixed a new batch this afternoon. Took 120ml of 18mg base out and mixed it to 9mg in a 250ml bottle. Then mixed 3mg into the 120ml bottle, and with that filled two 30ml droppers (one with my Wakonda recipe). I think I filled those two bottles last Sunday, so that would mean I do 60ml a week, or about 8.5ml a day.

Well golly gee ... for me and Janet the Mini Berserker's lived up to their reputation of being pretty good. They arrived today ... I coiled and wicked 'em up. Probably the easiest build I've done. I like the positioning of the post screws w/ respect to the air hole. It's so easy to get the spacing over the air hole correct without giggling the coil up/down to get it spaced right.

And low and behold both Janet and I liked them from the 1st vape. They're tiny. A nice fit/look/size on our Jac Series B's and also a pretty good companion on an iStick Pico.

So anyone see any Easter Holiday sales for the Berserker Mini? I see at least 2 more and likey 4 more on the horizon.

Interim report on nic salts from my point of view:

The nic salt nicotine from Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers is not noticeably more harsh than the "smooth" variety of nic salt liquid from Nude Nicotine. In quantities larger than 60 ml, the nic salt liquid from Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers is less expensive than the nic salt liquids sold by Nude Nicotine.

Both of the above varieties have noticeably less throat hit than "conventional" nic liquid, but the difference, to me, is not radical. I've mixed both of them at the same 10 mg/ml nic level that I've been using with my conventional nic liquids.

I still taste salt when I vape nic salts, and I still don't know if that's all in my head.

I generally mix at maximum VG, meaning that my DIY jooses end up being 80-95% VG. I might (or might not) find the difference between nic salt e-liquid and conventional nic e-liquid to be noticeably more profound if I used more PG... no way to know for sure.

My sense of taste is either/or more tolerant/more oblivious to taste differences than is found in the average person, so keep that in mind when deciding whether to grant any weight to my above statements and opinions.

Be patient, visiting our daughter in VA for Easter. If I don't get a chance to snap a couple picture while we're here ... I'll do some when we get home on different mods.

Mine too. I've never had that happen before. Very frustrating. I'm used to not getting much tracking. But, I want to know that the package was at least picked up and started its journey!
I use a site called "Package Radar" and copy paste the number from Fasttech. Shows the EMS movement before USPS gets the package. USPS only starts to track when it hits the states.(In my experience.)

Yay! Glad you 2 are liking them, too. I'm loving my 24mm ones and the Minis. Just can't hardly bring myself to use any of my other tanks since I got them. I just wish they'd come out a few years ago. :)

And low and behold both Janet and I liked them from the 1st vape. They're tiny. A nice fit/look/size on our Jac Series B's and also a pretty good companion on an iStick Pico.

The super smooth vapor, the wonderful flavor, the super easy build deck, their size and looks, how eliquid seems to last forever even though I chain-vape....it all won me over right away.

So anyone see any Easter Holiday sales for the Berserker Mini? I see at least 2 more and likey 4 more on the horizon.

I got 8-10 emails about Easter sales, but none specifically had discounts on the Berserkers. Most have been for eliquids, and some sitewide discounts, in the 10-15% range. Most of those though don't even have the Berserkers ot their prices for them are so high that even with the discount...they're still higher than FT with the MAP code. If you may want a 24mm or 2 though...EightVape still has them for just $21.99 on sale. I wasn't real sure I'd like the 24mm, but after trying 1 of each size...I ended up actually buying quite a few more of the 24mm, than I bought of the Minis! I'm a very "happy camper" now. :thumbs:

Nice to see you, Deb! I'm breathless! Not used to those long, multi-quotes anymore!
hehehe gotta keep you in shape hun! been a long time since we've yakked on the phone.......gimme a call sometime when you aren't busy. It's rare that anyone interrupts me from something I'm doing, I don't do much lol And you know I'm up all hours.

No, I was having too many problems with working on the short deck. I use a Sapor and it has a nice big deck that will handle duel coils.
I bought a Sapor and something else on the classies, tried it, but it wasn't for me, sold em both for the same price I paid awhile later.

Wow.......wishing y'all the best. Nice to know that there is a lot of help for y'all, but hope there are other entities helping to feed y'all besides just MREs. Is the Red Cross providing hot meals?

It's so easy to get the spacing over the air hole correct without giggling the coil up/down to get it spaced right.
hehehe this made me giggle. Took me a minute to realize you meant jiggling. Not makin fun of ya darlin...........I picture things in my mind when I read or someone is talking.......so I had a pic in my head of you sittin there with a silly grin on yur face giggling at yur coil :facepalm:

@Belhade Can I ask what that mod is in your pic above? The one that looks a little like my Norelco electric razor? :0 I have never seen that one.
I'm not Belhade, but that's the Joyetech Elitar Pipe.

That's the Joyetech Elitar e-pipe. It's a fairly standard 75W device, comes with the Cubis tank which I didn't care for so I put on my mini Buddha 18mm tank.

Oh! A Pipe. Now I understand, I feel like such a noob, now! My brain first went to old telephone, then when I looked again, thought Norelco. Never even thought about pipe. HA!
