Mail is delivered late because we are out in the boonies and they don't leave to deliver until about 11 am. But that means that if a package hits Jacksonville, it will be in my mailbox the next day. We have a great postman! We have taken long trips and just left him $$ in the mailbox to forward our mail on a certain date to whereever we are. He always does and give us back the change. He always gets a nice Christmas gift. I have even had packages delivered that the address was wrong by something, but he knew it was me and delivered.

All my mail arrived!! I now am redecorating my Kayfuns and Taifuns with colorful tanks and drip tips, and my Clouper mini+ is all decked out with my mini Kayfun. What a great vape mail day!!!!

I don't see myself ungrooving to anything but maybe unflavored when I run out of my Doublers stock.

Since ya mentioned it, two days ago I went to a dedicated topper with unflav'd in my rotation. So far so good. Actually, it gives my t-buds a lil' break dat I and they, appreciate. I also have dropped a couple of my recipes to 12mg nic (currently 15mg); think I might be ready.

BTW, I never anticipate going to 0mg!


My mail lady is a vaper. She actually knocks on the door and says "Vape mail!!" when i get a package.

Oh my, hope my jealousy doesn't show...

Dat's flippin' awesome and you're very fortunate! I also have a terrific postman. But he's retiring in Dec. and I will really miss him! Need to contact his wife and see what he would appreciate from a grateful customer. BTW, he's not pleased at all with the current USPS organization...

Dave, it really seems ya got outta dere 'round da right time!

FAR more effective is to video the mailman putting the notice in the curbside box without getting out of the truck to attempt delivery at the door. Post the video to YouTube and name the Post Office. Almost guaranteed to result in changed behavior.
ohhhhhh nice to get some "inside" tips Hope the mailman here at my son's is good. The one at my SIL's was great He'd always come to the door, and he'd bring all the mail with him, so we didn't have to go out to the box to get the flat mail.

I was so excited. Last night tracking said that my new MicroStick clone was already at the local post office. And, this afternoon it said it was out for delivery.

But, no package or slip in the box! I went to the office to check. They said they hadn't seen the mailman today. They must have been out of the office at the time he came. Not fair!
Could be they're just really late. Hope you have it by now. I've had mail delivered between 6 and 6:30 pm sometimes.

Well my Mailman actually knocked for once. The provari + Subtank Mini have arrived. Haven't had a chance to unbox and set things up yet since they arrived 5 minutes before I had to leave to pick up the hubby from work. But they are here. :)
Wahooooooo!!!!! so happy for ya

The 2nd time I went full time vaping, I started with a 50/50 mix of 30+ mg nic and WTA. That is the only part that I am VERY gradually changing, so my nic stock will last longer. (I hate that the government has anything to do with my timetable :evil: :-x) I'm down to 20ish mg nic with about 1 part WTA to 6 parts regular nic. I'm not trying to get rid of nic completely, but would like not to have to use WTA. My work requires my brain to be sharp and my brain doesn't like it when I don't feed it WTA. It has taken a bit more than 3 years to get down to that, I'm hoping not much longer since it really doesn't look like much on paper, but my brain will tell me when and not the government.

Verdict on the subtank Mini....I want half a dozen more of em. This thing is AWESOME. The build doesn't get any easier than this. You do have to spend some time cleaning it. There was a fair bit of machine oil still on it out of the box. I have never done a sub ohm build before and I just cleaned and wicked up the coil that was in the build deck .6 ohm. Um its a little warm for me LOL. I think I can fix it with a longer drip tip. If I stay in the subohm I WILL be dropping my nic levels. My god 2 hits = headrush at 8 MG and I have been vaping 24 mg all summer LOL.

The provari is gorgeous. The menu on the P3 is going to take some getting used to. My other provari is a P2 so I am used to the old style menu. I kinda like that the info I most often need to get into is right on the screen without a bunch of clicks. Just feels odd.

The flavor is astonishing. I definitely need to work with this Flavor Arts Juicy peach a bit. It tastes like the fruit but I think it needs just a touch of something to sweeten it. Not a bunch just maybe 1 or 2 drops of sweetener in the 50 mL bottle.

Pictures will have to wait until 1. its daylight as we just have crappy lighting at the moment and 2. I am not running on 1.5 hours sleep

I think I'm going to recoil and wick my Aqua v2. Wish me luck.

I'm gonna start swearing now to warm up.
Brave brave person. I picked up an aqua clone awhile back. I never successfully got it wicked so that I didn't get dry hits. It is now in the vapocalypse box with 5 spare glass tanks for it LOL.

Please don't tell me WTA on da 'table' also. Although I've never had to rely on it, it sure would shut out da folk that need it! Ask Mike...

I HAD a great mailman who I could count on for deliveries. The new one, not so much. He has the pre-filled form for drop off in the truck. I guess he couldn't see the car in the driveway by the mailbox and the open door which is in easy line of sight from the box. :facepalm: I messed him up by walking out to get my package before he could leave. :D
Good for you! Did you confront him? Bells idea is great. I'd do it, post the video everywhere I could & take it with me to the PO when I went to pick up the package to show to whoever is in charge there. Do Postmaster's even exist anymore?

Ok. Just made a new batch of strawberry juice. Tried to incorporate as many of your suggestions as I thought I should. Here's what I got now.

4.24 ml PG
2.96 ml VG
1.6 ml TFA Ripe Strawberry
1.2 ml 100mg/ml Nicotine
1 small drop of Koolada
2 drops of Ethyl Malto Sweetner
2 drops of Lemon Juice

I'm going to let is sit for a little while and when the tank of strawberry I'm using is empty I'll refill it with this and then let you all know how it works. Thanks for all the suggestions and help on expanding my DIY abilities.
Shake everytime you walk by it, too. Flavor changes as it sits. Everything starts getting happy together. Keep shaking now & then & it gets really happy!
