Yep and 1$ 18500 Efests work fine in a Zmax.

I have only tried 2 different Nics so far so I can't say if Nude nic is worth it or not. I do like less throat hit though...
MVS is great no problems been using it over a year.

I kinda figgered that might be the case, but wasn't sure.


with what you've been through, I'd probably be squeamish too! They used to dig and put me through torture til I was in the Navy, and I asked the guy if he was good.......he said.......I never miss, because if I don't know that I can get it, I don't do it there. He looked at my arm veins (antecubital......did that give you a rush?) hehehe and said........I aint touchin you! lol He actually did get it, but used a butterfly needle and took it from my wrist. After that I started making em to IV's and draws from my hand or wrist.
Yep when I go to the VA they have one tech there the best looking one and she always tries to hit the vein that they always have problems with and digs around for a while and gets a little then has to switch. Some are great but when I see her I cringe hoping I don't get her.

Really, I'm fighting to stay below 6.0 for my BS level. My Doc just gave me Jenuvia. I am just not a veggies kind of guy. If this Jenuvia pill doesn't work, I guess I guess I should just opt for the needle. Especially, if it keeps me down at 5.
Didn't realize they had a pill for your BS level.

Thank you, Doodles! Liking, now; watching tomorrow :). I vape high(er) VG juice, but figured I'd get the nic in PG. Between the nic and flavoring, I'd still be at least 70% VG, I'm guessing. Long as I can vape, it's all good!
Jup, he says that it mixes much better with pg than with vg (the nic) so I get mine in all pg, mix the nix with my vg and stir the stuffin outta that, then add my pg and stir again. I vape 70-75 pg and make about a 1/2 liter of base at a time, then just draw up ever how much I need to make a particular flavor, and add my flavorings. I've made at least 70 vg with my 100% pg nic for my nephew. Can't remember the highest vg I got, but I think it was higher than 70, just not sure.

MVS is great no problems been using it over a year.
Is that my vapor store?
Some are great but when I see her I cringe hoping I don't get her.
I wouldn't cringe, I'd talk to her and let her know she aint diggin around on me. If that don't work, refuse to let her touch you and wait for someone else. I don't let folk dig around on me anymore.

They do now. Jenuvia, it makes the sugar pass through and out your urine. I am just starting it. I get an A1c quarterly, so we will see. I am only about 2 years since diagnosed. I was just adjusting diet and exercise and still had trouble getting it down.

Matt101 said that he used a needle (Ventosa) and it works wonders for him.

You could put a band-aid over that spot maybe? Tell her you have a spider bite there and to try another spot?

type 1insulin dependent = you body doesn't make any or enough insulin ie pancreas malfunction
type 2 = your body no longer processes sugars properly, may or may not require additional insulin to get the job done depending on diet and response to other treatments ie metabolic issue

Yep! Shes been there everytime I've had surgery or been hospitalized. Now if she'd just tell what I say while i'm coming out of it. She won't tell me anything. Maybe she won't use those words.
You don't want to know. Really, you don't want to know.
omggggg that's despicable!!!

Yes!!!!! Right in the middle of the state........near me!!! lol
Are you currently above or below the waterline?
Matt - you're gonna choke. Just the PlasmaAir base is $130 .. the complete atty is $190.

Oh my!
Yup. I choked. Then I clicked "add to cart." I'm really liking it (thankfully!). I was pretty sure that I would; the only thing I didn't like about the KFL+ V2 was the airflow. Some folks like the journey. I wanted to get home :)
Here, that would come out to a little over 2.5 cartons of cigarettes. We forget that pretty quickly; spoiled by FT. If it works for you, standing ovation! I wanted to get a Kayfun way back when but the only combo of parts would have cost about the same (wanted top fill, etc.). Sloth helped me piece it together. It was a beauty and smaller than the Space Station to boot. Unfortunately I've lost the links but if things come down the way it looks like they will, either through the FDA or the state, I'm willing to redo the research and get it because it's well built and will last for eons. Good on you for buying something you wanted.
5.3mg I do, got around 1.8lt 100mg nic on hand.
Sloth, if he ever came back, would be so proud of you! I remember when you were just a DIY wannabe. :D
not kenna, but our resident chemist kurt kistler (who is also a vaper) says that particularly in pg it will essentially last forever in the freezer as far as he can tell. I could be wrong about this part, but I am pretty sure he said he's used some that was in the freezer around 10 years with no noticeable difference in it.
This is long, 2 hrs, but you can scroll through til you get to the part that has Dr. Kistler, even that is long since there is other discussion and he chimes in through quite a bit of it, but to hear all he says is very interesting, and a great thing to watch.

I was gonna guess five years, from Kurt's last report that I read. Wonderful news! I'll have to watch it tomorrow also but thank you so much for the video. :)
Type 1 diabetes means your born with it.
There outta be a law against that.

Nurse Ratchet moved to Washington? You poor man. :cry: I like DH's idea, a lot. If I were you, I'd request someone else if you get her again. You've been through far to much to have to subjected to that bull frass again.

I can buy bulk bandaids at Wal-Mart dirt cheap. :D

Kenna, how long do you think it will last in the freezer? I read the shelf life is about 3 years, assuming it is stored correctly. Hoping that's a very conservative estimate!

I have had 50/50 and all PG nic in one of the crisper drawers in my fridge since July of 2012. It's in 120 ml amber or blue glass bottles. It all still tastes the same to me. The 500 ml bottle I used before that was in there for 4 years. I think that if nic can last in the fridge for that long, it should last just about forever in the freezer. I've got plenty in there too. :2cool:

Anyway, since a few of you are diabetic, maybe someone can give me some advice for checking my blood sugar without having to stick myself multiple times?

When I stick for blood sugars, I knead the finger from bottom to top a couple of times, then hold pressure at the top while I'm sticking. It's a little tricky to hold the pressure when you are doing it on yourself, but you can kinda use your thumb to put pressure on a good bit of your fingertip. :)
