Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[2legsshrt]

Got two printers, neither of which ever get turned on.

Oh-and the VA sucks!!

I haven't found that to be true here. I have a VA hosp 10 miles away. If I am supposed to have something done they always call me set it up. They do CT's on Sat and no waiting. They are going to take care of a 100K dollar treatment for me including labs every 2 weeks.

They just paid for my neighbor to go to Seattle to a private surgeon and have his neck completely rebuilt although that did take contacting a senator to get it done. It's been a couple of months and he is still trying to get the total use of his hands back.

Ya the VA in Seattle took great care of my daughter. Misdiagnosed her problem, but they got her right in.

@LittleBird mine has started to leak a little around the bottom part but I think it is a combo of vapor and condensation it's not straight juice. I have a feeling that the evaporation tank is condensing and that mixed with the vapor is what is leaking. It's not a big leak just tiny bit but it's there. Nothing out of the 510 the Oring is taking care of that. You'll have to let me know how the MTL thingys are working, I don't need them I like it the way it is and I bet you would have to turn the juice flow down because it would draw more juice it seems to me. But I sure love the flavor.

Thanks, Pat. My MTL kit should be here by tomorrow (I thought today, but nope!), and I'm waiting for it to arrive before I build the K5. You can't install the MTL piece with a coil mounted, and I'm way too lazy to build it twice! I'll let you know how it works out.

VAPEMAIL!!!!!
I got my Capella Sweet Strawberry and Honeydew in!!
I'm trying to replicate STRAWBERRY QUEEN, because I really like it, but not gonna order from CA.
1.5 ml Sweet Strawberry
.5 ml Honeydew

A bit heavy on the Strawberry, so will take it down my .5 ml next batch, but it's SO CLOSE.

That sounds really good, Ken! And I don't usually like minty/menthol-y vapes!

I was wondering the same thing. Actually scrolled up to double check!

That sounds yummy, Ken. Is Capella's sweet strawberry like fresh berries or is it more like candy? I got one from somewhere (maybe Insw?) and it's way too candy-ish.

Errr.... in how much base?? Or are you just vaping 2.5 ml of flavoring??

The original has just a slight hint of mint... Just to make it refreshing

it's sweet, but not candy sweet. More like fresh strawberry shortcake and cream with a spoon of sugar on top. Like I had as a kid, not these underripe strawberries you get these days.

30 ml bottle. . Although... With the way it smells even before you add base, I was tempted!

Gotcha. Percents are easier for me to grok, easier to scale up or down.

And gotcha on the taste as well. We have several local berry growers, and hate it when they're not in season and have to get 'em at regular stores. Red cardboard...

I'm posting vape stuff on the BP so I will say the VA here doesn't have specialist surgeons so if you need a special type of surgery they pay a specialist to do it which I would trust much more. The VA docs are kind of flaky to say the least but there lab and xray work is exceptional. So are some of my Rx's for free. That's why I have civilian docs and VA docs for certain things. The hemotologist I see says about 2 words and types on the computer hunt and peck for an hour. I don't know same when I went for the endo and colonoscopy took me about a month or better to get over that and he wanted to do another test with a doctor that looked like he should still be in high school. I chickened out on that one.

Got in another 120ml of Mango flavoring today. ........ Geez ...... there are over two liters of flavorings in that cupboard!

Getting ready to take over the black market were you?

 

[MikeE3]

ETA: Just noticed we're approachin' dat magic post count...

Nah! We're over 1000+ post away.

 

[Semiretired]

Nah! We're over 1000+ post away.

Which at our current average on this thread is 24 more days...

Well good news from the PO. I told them I might be getting a couple packages from China and they may or may not require signature. They said no problem they will hold them till I pick up my mail.

 

[2legsshrt]

I can see 2 more Kayfun V5's sort of in my future.

I think sometimes they get fed up with those who self-medicate for psychiatric disorders. Take a look at the Candyman/Candyland scandal here.

Jup as do most doctors, not as much for psychiatric as the VA but for pain......then it takes an act of congress to get it when you need it. It's hard here too, cuz a lotta times you get docs that are in residency, they graduate and leave, now you gotta find someone else who don't know anything about you, or you him!

Although I do not utilize the VA medical system, I know of many vets that go to Bay Pines that are very pleased with their healthcare.

That's good to hear.

They just paid for my neighbor to go to Seattle to a private surgeon and have his neck completely rebuilt although that did take contacting a senator to get it done. It's been a couple of months and he is still trying to get the total use of his hands back.

oh wow, Bless him......hope they can fix him. For one of Daniel's surgeries they sent him to one of the top urologists in the country supposedly up in dallas. The rest have been done at S&W other than the one to put in the SP catheter.

lmao! Jup that's the kinda stuff that bothers me.

yummm love me some mango!!!

kewl, I figured they'd hold it for you...... but I thought you were worried about them releasing it to you after a law goes into effect

 

[Debadoo]

Ever who asked for percents.......
5% strawberry gives you 1.5 mls
2% on both of the others gives you .6 mls, close enough.
Ken_A said the strawberry was a bit strong, so I'll try 3-4% probably. I'd want the strawberry to be prominent for me I think.

Well it's not supposed to go into effect till Oct 1st hopefully.
