I am so glad I have enough kicks and fuses to enjoy my mechanical experience for the rest of my life.
I brought the whole crew out of hiding so I can switch off flavors. They have a special spot hiding in plain sight. I have a cold, so some flavors hit the spot just downright wrongly. Went to the Dr. yesterday, and complained about all my complaints preventing me from sleeping for five days straight. She wrote me a Rx for some cough syrup that took care of the problem. insurance didn't pay, but at that point I didn't care.
I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well but glad your doctor was able to help you. I'll spare you the rant about insurance companies.

I gotta find out more about that from my buddy. I hate the way it makes me feel, paranoid, but they have a strain that is supposed to work on pain and not get you, well you know. I mean you don't even need a card here. This state does some strange things when it comes to things like that. But by God no vaping!! Like the stuff they use for kids that have problems.
That stinks. It more than stinks, it's ridiculous, barbaric.
The local pharmacy in the next town over just closed rather abruptly. Family owned pharmacy. Why? Insurance companies refuse to reimburse private pharmacies as much as they do those like CVS (the place that decided not to sell cigarettes any more, something that has cost them a bundle, but has aisles and aisles booze). The closing has put out a number of people I know in a bad way.
I used to take a pill that helped tremendously with allergy-induced asthma. They'd tweek the formula every so often to prevent a generic from coming onto the market. It worked well for me despite the side effects. Insurance company decided I couldn't have it anymore, at least they weren't going to cover the cost of it at all. They finally came out with a generic, makes my asthma worse. Vaping is now, has been for for at least three months, sometimes exacerbating the problem at times. I refuse to go back to smoking and keep trying to find a "better" way to vape.
(Yes, everybody, I know I can have my doctor challenge the insurance company but the situation is very complicated and don't want to go into all the details. I'm taking something new that I actually like better than the old med and waiting to see how it all settles out. We have a lot of environmental factors here in play right now so it's not easy to pinpoint exactly how the new drug is exactly working.)
Now that I've succumbed to a mini rant, just want to say that having insurance is a blessing but the tyrannical power they and medical care providers wield over their customers is indefensibly reprehensible.
Oh, Oregon is considering raising the smoking age to 21. It was very heartening to see almost all the comments on the story as being inline with how vapers view it. Downside is their viewpoints probably won't make a difference in the outcome.
I gave it up 20+ years ago due to the paranoia and obsessive thinking but I hear they have awesome strains now that you can buy that are for energy or relaxing or sleep well and they are named appropriately.
it went a little further with me than "did not enjoy it" More like I could not wait to go to sleep so I could get out of my own head. Only to not be able to sleep for the ruminating thoughts in my head. All self critical thoughts. I mean who can think of that as a good time?
On another note I am vaping something I made called Almond Butter Cookie and I can count the number of mixes I have done on 2 hands and most of them sucked. This one is good
roflmao.I'm also getting the idea that if I sub-ohm 10mgs next time my father insists on driving...
it wuz a kopy katThere you is!I almost thought I found you today when I saw a local headline reading, "Police Arrest Alleged Frying Pan Assailant."
oh dang. Glad you got something that worked, but so sorry you are having so many issues.
hehehe true.
((((((tutu)))))) really hope you can get the vaping to where it doesn't make the asthma worse.
kewl, mind sharing the recipe?
Good Morning Porch Dwellers I will be on the front porch often today looking for the mail carrier to bring my Vape Mail! Hoping everyone's day has a bright spot like a Vape Mail delivery!

thanks very much. I have all those except for the marzipan. That one keeps getting kicked off my list, then put back on. Gonna have to get some. that sounds really good, and I like that it's low flavor % too.
Jup the only time ya don't wanna share a recipe is if it's someone else's without their permission, or something like that. There's also one site that ECF won't let us link to but I can't remember the name of it. lol
Me too. Maybe you or the others can help. I have always vaped TFA flavors and nothing else, at least since I stopped using premade about three years ago. I'd like to try a different vendor and see if that goes better. Anybody have a recommendation of a vendor with good berry and/or fruit flavors? Preferably something I can order a small quantity from WLs? Would be much appreciated.
Had another mature pine snap off about six feet from the ground, ten feet from the house, last night. Woke me from a dead sleep. That is twice in two weeks or less we could have been severely injured or killed and I didn't even think of having a cig. It's rather remarkable considering even six months ago, or so, the thought had crossed my mind under even less stressful situations. Jup, I deserve a beer.
I have a poopload of TFA flavors. Kept buying them as I was recording recipes. When I got to over 100 I started to try to make stuff. No luck. Sort of assumed I blowed at making juice. Lately I have been using FlavorArt and everything is much better. I do not know if FA will help with your asthma. If I could only buy one vendors flavorings it would be FA. I also buy Capella and Inawera but I think FA is topnotchMe too. Maybe you or the others can help.

Utah has tried to pass that for the past two years in a row, and will probably try to pass it again this year.
The reality is that the 15 year old that chooses to smoke doesn't give a damn what the legal age is. So the only people effected by such a law are 18,19 & 20 year old legal adults.
The bad news is that those between 18 & 20 would not be remanded to juvenile court, and because of those convictions would never be allowed a good scholarship to a prestigious collage, and could even be barred from military service. (class F offence .... same as a drug conviction)
I heard a lobbyist say (2015) "how old does an adult need to be to make a stupid decision?"
