That much, eh?
Can I revise that? I don't drink coffee. My parents once accidentally made decaf one morning. They're usually good people... Maybe my nic fits have drastically reduced in intensity since I quit smoking now that I think about it (unless my dad is driving). Nice to make fun of it, but I really did just think about it right now and think it's true. :)

Regarding caffeine, I'm drinking less coffee but enjoying it more. I will sometimes go 2 or 3 days without having any coffee at all. 10 years ago, though, it took less than 24 hours without coffee for me to start getting a quite annoying caffeine-withdrawal headache. Now, I just get kind of a blah feeling when I go a couple of days without coffee.

Regarding nicotine, the cravings are definitely less intense than when I was smoking, even though to the best of my knowledge I'm still getting just as much nicotine. My feeling is that it was other components of cigarette smoke that caused cravings more than nicotine ever did.

    Here's what I learned from my first attempt at mixing: It's important to count drops, accurately. :facepalm: :lol: :lol:

    Ima try again, this week. Next time, I won't answer the phone. :confused:

    Hell, I just add several drops and if it needs more I add a little more. ;)
    I adjust flavor to taste just like I adjust power to taste, and I really don't care if it took 20 drops or 25 drops.
    Matter of fact I don't even care if my juice is 11.5mg or 12.5mg.

    Oh and, coming over to my house would be a bad idea if I didn't have my nicotine OR coffee. ;)

    Edit:
    Coming over to my house & shoveling the damn snow would be a GOOD IDEA :lol:

    I agree. My coffee needs have recently dropped to 2 cups in the mornings d maybe another half cup. It used to take 5-6 to get me out the door in the mornings. And the need to vape as often is slacking off too.

    VAPEMAIL!!

    I went over early and got the batteries for the P 2.5, popped them in the charger.

    Then almost as soon as the PO opened, went over and got my other two packages.

    Opened the package with the four orchids, and put them to soak. Faint hint of machine oil. Nice little plastic boxes for spare screws and o-rings. Some tootling driptips still en route.

    THEN I opened the package from bells. SURPRISE! Two bottles of flavoring, nectarine and green apple. Will enjoy them so much. Got the Provari, and it vapes fine without accessing the menu. Haven't given him a name-- what goes with Binky and Num-Num? I have a name for him, but it is secret-- in the theme of little white guy. :evil: And, of course, plenty of bubble-wrap which I will use for my little nic bottles when I break down the big one. Thank you for the gifts, bells. :wub:

    Now, on to rinsing off the Orchids and setting them up. :cool:

    Interesting what you, and others, say about the coffee. Never drank the stuff myself. My father now drinks it late into the evening. :facepalm: He still manages to sleep just fine though.

    I completely agree that it's the other additives in cigarettes that make life miserable, not the nicotine. Nicotine has a lot of benefits.

    Nice vape mail!

    Bells, I was just blown away by your generosity. Actually brought tears to my eyes (no joke). It was very sweet of you. Now going to call you Santa (better than Fairy Godmother).
    it occurs in the first sentence of a work of fantasy fiction regarded as scripture by an obscure cult.
    Wilber?

    I was going to say Napoleon (or Nappy for short) but then you got all literary on us.
    Literary? LOL. Napoleon might be better, at least it could be publically revealed. :D :wub: Might call him that, and get off the other subject.

    All set up and ready to go.

    You caught a hot one?

    uh huh ... I use an old Nemy clone as an atty stand when doing my coils. I forgot to screw the fire button in locked position. Pushed down w/ the screwdriver when turning the coil screw and oops! :(
