Dat was one of my earlier orders. Yet to try 'em, so no help here (as usual).



... and...?

You've bought more stuff that you've never used than any vaper I know. :rolleyes: How many fishing rods 'you got' that you don't use? :D

It's as much your fault as anyone's, Mike. I distinctly recall you talking about backups for backups! :lol:

Can someone help me to understand why military personnel are exempt from CA's new age restrictions on tobacco and vape purchases? I know this amendment was a hard won "victory," but it seems just a bit disingenuous: What? Military personnel aren't worth saving? After all, Mr. Brown touted the "life saving measures" inherent in these new regs, and opined that they will significantly reduce exposure to "gateway drugs."
I wonder, more and more often, these days, whether law makers ever think about the messages they send when they pass (stupid) laws.
I don't know what "their" thinking was but we were going off in the Calif. Leg. thread about them banning smoking/vaping for military personnel. At 16 you can drive a lethal weapon around unsupervised. At 18 you can marry, have a family, vote and volunteer to serve your country. That means you are subject to the trauma of killing others, having them trying to kill you by whatever means possible, witness the inhumanity of war and watch your buddies be maimed or die around you. If smoking or vaping helps them cope with that, they should be allowed to do so, no questions asked, period. They are adults and should be treated as such, though what I was really speaking to was those in combat rolls. I think I wrote the same to my (worthless) politicians.

The military exemption came as a surprise to almost all of us. I honestly don't know what the reasoning was behind it but would like to think even those :censored: see the light sometimes.

That is exactly how I always imagined it went for you! :thumbs:


Devastated by the losses today, when will the madness stop? (This is NOT meant as a footnote.)

Am finally able to drop in tonight and say hello again to everyone. We're on day 3 of our trip, and I haven't had internet access until just about an hour ago...when I finally got a WiFi network to interact with my little laptop.

Wanted to say that I'd received another vape mail package Thursday afternoon before I left at 3:30AM Friday. Was 4 of the 6 new STM I'd ordered from 2 vendors. They (VapeHappy) also sent my package quickly and very well packed for shipment, just as the people at UltimateVapeDeals had sent theirs to me. So both will be added to my favorite vendors' list now!

We're in Ketchikan, AK now, and leaving for Juneau tomorrow morning on the Alaska ferry M/V Kenicott for the overnight trip. I visited a local vape shop here yesterday. Is actually a combination cell phone supplies store, with minimal vape shop supplies and hardware. Couldn't believe the prices of much of it though...was through the roof! Didn't buy anything, but wanted to check it out anyway. There are no outdoor vaping regs here in Ketchikan, nor in the apartment we always stay at while here. So that's been great!

Will be interesting next though...to see how vaping goes in Juneau, where some strict public vaping laws have been inacted since my last visit there in summer of 2014. Also new owners have taken over the place we usually stay there, so not sure of the vaping policies now in their apartments and rooms. I'm pretty good at stealth vaping though. Proved that in both airports we've been to so far!

Less than a week now until I get to meet Von Vape!!

**Was very hard to hear on this morning's news about the mass shooting in Orlando, especially since 2 of the 4 of us on our trip are from there. Such a totally horrible and senseless event. Our hearts and prayers go out to all in any way affected by this tragedy.

It goes to the arguement that if they are old enough, & smart enough to enlist, fight, & die for their country; then surely that would apply to their decisions about smoking or vaping. The rest of us not so much. Gov't has traditionally allowed & even encouraged the rank & file to smoke to deal with stress & boredom.

Get this; my husband is now the one begging to buy a new freezer. [emoji38] I wanted to wait five months to see if the house is still standing but he wants one today. Guess the vacuum sealer made an impression on him. :D
He needs a place to put all of his sealed meals! So funny!

yay!!! Glad he's loving the vacuum sealer too That video was fantastic!


I'm sure it has to do with the "you're old enough to die for your country, but can't have a drink before you go" in this case, can't have a vape or a cig.
Doesn't exempting them mean they can vape & smoke?

I just got home from a trip to my nephews wedding in Central Texas. The venue had no problem with vaping (there were 3 vapers there) unless someone complained if the smell was too strong, & then we might want to do it outside or close to one of the garage type doors. The venue was a winery.
And although I went prepared to cover the smoke detector in the motel room, it wasn't needed...there was nothing but wiring where the smoke detector should be!

Me too ... what the heck are these? They're marked 2.4Ω ... other than that I'm stumped. The ends are finished like shoe laces w/ a plastic wrap to keep them from fraying.

They kind of look like replacement heads for that tank that had the strings coming from the head. I forget what it was called something 30 and I think they made another too.

I googled for iClear 30 and ebay has them. They are not like Mike's. DV CE5 Coil Heads

A new vaper asked me about my equipment. Cost, etc. I grabbed my deck of vendor cards. He sorted though. Sent him to ECF, told him about FT. Showed him the kicked Nemeses, but recommended the 2.5 Provari as easier. He has kicked the cigars, so vapes 24 mg only when he needs it, totally different style than me. I mixed up 60 ml for him, and told him I could add a bit of this or that (legal) as needed. He wanted to buy one of my nemeses, LOL. I said no way! But I charged him for the juice.
