Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[Debadoo]

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'll also recommend FA at least for fruity flavors. Most of my flavors are FA, and some Cap and some INW. I do have a few TFA now but that's recent. Pm me what you'd like to try and if I have it, I'll make ya some juice to see if it works for ya before you go buy a bunch of flavorings. Let me know your pg/vg ratio and nic level again, cuz yanno I forgot lol

If this turns out to be a complete bust, I'll buy the gear back from him. Other than being internal battery mods, nothing I wouldn't use for myself. If he takes off, the mods are versatile enough that he can grow into them. One can only hope

that's so fantastic hun. Really hope he takes to it. That's sweet of you to offer to buy the gear from him if it doesn't work. Works for you I reckin if it's stuff you can use.

On a different front I have convinced two of my underaged nephews to quit vaping. Neither is/was a smoker and both were vaping because it is "cool to vape", "my friends all vape", "vaping won't hurt me" and on and on. I gave them the ol' "herd mentality" talk, convinced them both that they were being robbed of their individuality and explained many of the knowns and unknowns about vaping. Apparently it worked and I feel just as good about that as I do about converts. Children should not vape for any reason and I am appalled that some parents allow it.

If they aren't likely to smoke, I'm glad you got them to stop vaping. They know about it, and know that if they absolutely have to do something, that's way better than cigs, but if they aren't hooked on either one of em, no point in them doing either one of em.

Just checked out a vaping vendor in the UK. On the nicotine page they said they have stopped preparing nic for retail sale. They are allowed to go on selling existing stock for another few weeks .

They are still allowed to sell wholesale, like to juice manufacturers. People are discussing ways to use that option, like co-ops or dummy companies.

If I have to move to Scotland I won't be able to take my freezer full of nic along. The TPD doesn't make possession of previously purchased nic illegal but I'm sure bringing it into the country would be out.

They are offering this option for the future which follows the TPD rules.

Box of 18 Nicotine Shots 10ml (18mg/ml)
£15.99

I did the calculations. At around 30ml of 8mg a week I would be spending around $3 a week on nicotine. That's a lot compared with the pennies it costs me now, but a pint of beer costs over $4. I can live with that. Not so good for folks who use a lot of juice, I know I'm on the low end.

That's awful! Pack the nic in boxes, how would they even know what is in there?

that's great! Britain gets it, but then, they don't make a fortune on big pharma there, so of course they'd get it. I'm sure the FDA also gets it, they just choose to ignore it. Money is far more important than people far as they're concerned.

​

Hope both y'all have/had wonderful birthdays!! I pm'd with birdy yesterday, she's ok, just not quite feeling herself.

I rekicked my nemmys. I think I had a blown fuse on one. Am using the big o-rings for fine adjustments to length, when the small metal ring is too much.

Switched to 2.5 ml Kayfun tanks a few months ago. Have only eight tanks/flavors in rotation. Everything else is in storage. These are nice--

I can check on condition of wick without opening it. Also lighter, so I can stand the Nemmy up without worrying about triggering the fire button.

You can get those for the full size M5 cylinders as well, or use the M5, the clear chamber piece and an existing tall chimney piece.

Now if the folks on our side of the pond would just listen.

Welcome to the Front Porch. Sit back, relax and tell us your story.

So I finally have no excuse to not have a major mixing day. Through the oddities of our local post office (only open 2 hours/day and no street delivery) I ended up getting all of my pending mixing supplies at once.

I got my new Inawera flavors from Poland (that seem to have been in customs for 6 weeks),
a bigger holder for my flavorings and
the replacement to my trusty label printer.

Not really shiny/fancy vapemail - except maybe the flavors. I ended up going to the Polish site to get a bigger batch of my only tobacco flavor, but as long as I was shopping there anyhow...
I'm especially looking forward to trying "Green Spring Tea" since the name is odd but the description is for Jasmine Tea.
the one drawback to the flavor order is that each of the 8 10ml flavors is packaged in its very own plastic clam-shell package.

Amoret-where did you get this? Interested in getting one myself. Tired of searching through multitudes of plastic bins

Let us know how the mixing goes. Good luck coming up with lots of yummy flavors.

BTW, why order from Poland? Do they have flavors that you can't get here?

It's officially a hardware/tool sorter. It's way bigger than I had, and bigger than I expected. It's going to take a while to get used to it. The compartments are deep enough that I may end up using some foam in the bottom of the 10 ml areas. It keeps the smell in, which is important for me since I enjoy vaping diluted flavors the full strength gets my allergies going. If I go completely crazy they can be stacked.

It's a complete shop of Inawera flavors. I originally found out about it from an Inawera thread in the DIY forum. The main reason I ordered from there is because one of the main flavors in one of my ADVs was getting hard to find, and only in 10ml bottles. I got 100ml for the cost of 2 of the 10ml.

And they do also have a lot of flavors I've never seen in the US, like the jasmine tea.

How much is shipping from Poland?

good idea. You can always separate like by fruits, desserts, creams etc. Or separate by vendor. Much better organized than my acrylic box within an acrylic box. Sorted at one time by baggies into fruits, creams etc. Then resorted into baggy's containing flavorings for fav mixes and then just all kind of dumped in to make one large pile

For this batch of 1 -100ml and 10 additional 10ml the shipping charge was $3.53, mailed. There is also a VAT tax, but the 10 ml flavors were mostly 2.12 with 1 at 2.54 including VAT while Bull City has most of the Inawera flavors they carry between $3 and 4.50
