Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[Iffy]

Yepper, Terro is my go to fer what we call 'sugar ants'.

My pro bug guy suggested to insure no vegetation make contact wid outer walls (bug hiways)... riiiiight...

 

[Debadoo]

Every once in a while I see some ants. I vacuum them up, then dose their trail with WD40. Need to find a cheap way of getting rid of them.

They say vinegar water, and that would make sense, since I think they use scents to mark and follow their trails. wow........how's that for using all variations of a word! No wonder foreigners have a hard time learning English!

Oh yeah. Hand to mouth has a lot to do with it but what I found to be most important was the sensation of inhaling as #1 and exhaling something visible as #2. It's still a huge stress release for me to this day and I'm a tootler.

JUP!!

At that point I just give up since I feel the need to respond to so many posts. I'm never going to break your record of multi responses in a single post so have conceded defeat.

I'm certain most would agree you win by NOT beating it! then again, maybe I can get a documentary deal out of it........ A Billion Posts! hehehe

Clonecores.com?

The name was intriguing, so I looked it up as I hadn't heard of them. But alas, nothing there for me.

BTW everybody, I got an email the other day from FT chastising me for ordering something that was discontinued. You can't add something to your cart that is discontinued, their software doesn't allow it. It shipped in three days when I ordered it. What were they thinking blaming the customer?

omgggggg They got some nerve chastising you for that period. Specially when it's their fault. If it shouldn't go in your cart and it did, that's on them!

After almost three years of vaping #1 for me is still the TH. #2 is hand to mouth . #3 is your #1.

We're all so different

mine is #1 TH, #2 inhale exhale, and #3 hand to mouth

 

[FlamingoTutu]

That's why I just order authentic ProTank coils from FT. They're only $3/5 pack if you order 3 or more. It's the best way to be stocked up on PT spare parts.

It was discontinued, yet shipped in 3 days? Interesting. I can't imagine how it happened. And, why would they care? If they had it and wanted to discontinue it, they should be glad to get rid of any leftovers they have.

Glad it all worked out.

Those are the coils I get and buy them at 5 packs or more per order. FT seems to be down at the moment ( ) but I think buying five at a time brings the cost down to $2.83 per box. I probably have enough, just haven't yet convinced myself that I do. The closer the deadlines become, the more unsure of the stockpile I become.

ETA. working again. It's $2.86 per box for 5 or more, $2.98 for 3 or 4 boxes. Was looking at some place recently and saw them for $7.99 a box. I'm in no big hurry for transit time. Yet.

See, I kinda combined TH and inhale by say the sensation of inhaling. I think of throat hit as something a lot stronger than what I get now. 24mg was TH! It'd kill me now.

A Billion Posts!

Lightning Vapes - All the RBA supplies you need, shipped same day! and SHOP have parts for everything. I don't think Fat Daddy has parts for attys, though.

Fixed that for ya ...

Hey, glad you're back! We missed you. Folks been asking about you at Tootle Puffers.

Your new place sounds wonderful!

By chance I looked at my quit banner today and I've just rolled over the $20,000 mark in savings. Astounding. I used to buy cigs at the least expensive place I could find, and smoked one of the least expensive brands there were, but didn't really consider the overall cost. Probably a good thing since nothing worked until I battled with vaping. Since the beginning of the month, I'm now saving an extra $5 bucks a day not smoking. Staggers the mind.

Congratulations! Hope the stash made the transition in relative comfort.

Is that for the parts I was talking about or did I miss something? LV's are the correct ones but way too expensive, cheaper to buy whole coils than just the parts. The clonecore.com ones have one part that is rubber, which becomes brittle and also retains flavors. I'll just stick with ordering coils as I can afford them while still outrunning the taxman.

that's awesome!! I never did the cost savings kind too much. I should check one out, but for the last two years that I smoked, I smoked racers. It was 15.50 a carton after tax. Marlbs were 45 cents a pack from a vending machine when I started smoking. I think they'd gone to about 50.00 a carton when I started smoking racers. Dunno how you would average that over the 36 + years.

That's really good! Congrats on that. When I quit in January my cost was 3.40 a pack. Not bad compared to what some people were paying. I smoked the cheap cigs too.

I figure the cost of my diy juice averages around .09 cents a day. Not too shabby, lol.

I am still running in the red column. I bought everything I needed for diy and then everything I needed to build coils. I can now do both! Then there is mods to try...glad I bought the Pico first, really like it. Most cost for me is finding the right atomizer with best airflow and flavor you like. Also the stocking up part because of the possible gloom and doom coming our way.

I am glad I am off the cigarettes, that was my first goal. Hopefully at some point I will save money too

 

[chanelvaps]

I know I am at a point where I am saving money. I spent less this past year (going on 4 yrs)
First year spent buying gear and trying to figure out what I liked and could figure out ;( (and of course juice, lots of it tossed in the BLECH pile)
Second year spent upgrading to better gear and learning to build (and of course juice and now it is getting out of hand)
Third year spent perfecting gear (all RBA and RTA now) researching and buying good gear for the long haul (juice, daily, out of control and am I even saving money???)
Fourth year finally got around to DIY and love mixing and am buying so much lessjuice and that is good because I was PIF'ing tons of juice (money) because it was going bad before I could use it.
(that was OK because I found a Recovery/rehab residence where vaping was allowed and most folks were poor and needed juice)
I am pretty well set gear wise, the buying of flavorings has now taken on the extreme that buying juice once did but I am still saving as my cig habit was ridiculously expensive. About $250-300 at a time and every 3-4 weeks. YIKES

NIC NIC and more NIC. You can always get wire from Temco, USA company or lightning vapes. Make sure you're stocked on nic in the freezer. I'm a squonker, and for me, that's the way to go. I have some RDAs I love, need to get a couple more O16s from FT, but since you can DIY and build coils you shouldn't have too many issues. For me, RDAs just have way less parts than tanks. I knew I wouldn't fool with dripping so I went for Reos and squonking. Don't have to deal with glass tanks breaking or needing parts etc. Just a thought. It is just horrible for those who aren't vaping yet, and won't have time to stock up, or even start vaping if the cole bishop ammendment isn't passed. I notice there is a sticky message about it. I haven't checked on it in awhile, but last I did, it hadn't had any action since it was introduced. I hope they do get it through. For everyone, contact Senators and anyone you can. That bill will grandfather in most of what we use now so it will still be available.

So kind of you!

Good Day folks while working outside yesterday I actually took a few breaks and was vaping on the front porch! Woo Hoo!

That is so kwel, thanks for helping others.

Being able to vape outside is nice. I have been spending time in my workshop the last few days. Made a couple more pens and doing a load of cleaning. I'm now taking a brake on the porch of the workshop and vaping my ADV. I just got a notice on my tablet telling me that we are under a severe thunderstorm watch. It's a good thing I allow myself to vape in my workshop.LOL

I moved close to 3 tons of topsoil by hand in a wheelbarrow yesterday and why is it that if you order 1 yard it isn't enough and when you get 2 yards you think they made a mistake and gave you more. I had to move it where it wouldn't wash away since we had severe rain.
