Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Iffy]

I do believe that this was a good mistake.

Way to 'mess up'!

On Monday, MFS had their 17% off sale so I ordered 2 liters of 100 mg/ml nicotine. I opted for the free shipping. I also ordered 2 boxes of Ni 200 coils for my Herakles. According to all of the emails, 4 total, delivery was expected to be on Friday. This morning I grabbed my first cup of coffee and opened up my email. There was another email that said my order was delivered. I opened the front door and there was my package. A day early and I didn't do any type of upgrading shipping! The nicotine was packaged in shrink wrap and the box was filled with peanuts. The 2 boxes of coils were also in the box. That was when I discovered I had mistakenly ordered coils for the Herakles Plus. Dang! Oh well, I had to go out and get some glass bottles for transferring the nicotine so I can store it in the freezer. While out I went to my favorite B&M and picked up a Silver Herakles Plus. I have to say, I am really surprised at the taste of my DIY Mango, it is far better than with the regular Herakles. I do believe that this was a good mistake.

He jumps, he shoots, he SCORES!

Yep! Many years!

Unlike others I am praying for here, right now I'm good.

Thanks for this. I've also ordered a Herakles in the vapemail (tomorrow?)..along with an assortment of new top fill toppers- I've never learned to diy-imo you're the best "be prepared" with Freezers of nic.

The nic winner would probably be @Uncle Willie. I only have 3 liters of 100, & 1 liter of 200. This is The Porches, we cover our bases then sit back & watch everyone else scramble!
Welcome!

I have 5 liters in the freezer which at my 1 mg/ml vaping level will last well past my natural lifetime expectancy LOL

I'm almost done buying. Did ya miss me? My stupid computer when I upgraded my SXML I got in the mail today made my usb ports all disabled. Of course Win 10 was no help then I remembered after 4 hours of trying to do system restore unsuccessfully when You boot up your computer you can get into the system, I did that and did a system recovery which took 5 min and everything worked again. I hate Win 10. Got my ML upgraded. I might get a couple extra side panels for my Q's haven't decided and some Kayfun spares and I'm good for as long as I'll live. I have 2 liters of nic in the freezer in plastic bottles. Might put them in glass but I don't think the plastic will hurt them at that temp for a couple of months. Glad I got this computer fixed couldn't use my wireless mouse or keyboard what a PITA. Tried all the Win 10 suggestions but like with everything else involved with 10 it didn't work. Still working on getting ready to go on Monday. I'll be talking to you guys if the Ahole lets me use his WiFi otherwise you might not hear from me for a while. Let you all know how my clones work out.

You said that awhile ago, yet here you are! I don't believe you now!

Don't want no fryin' pan treatment but you may have mistaken yesterdays "Peace Out" with todays.............Just Sayin'.

I actually did go bye-bye, just in time to catch the tragedy in Dallas! If there was a throw up emogie, I'd use it liberally here!!! SO TRAGIC & MISGUIDED!!!
Not a good way to start the day, that's FOR SURE!!!

@Debadoo I put this post here for you to read it!

 

[FlamingoTutu]

@Ken_A, So sorry my friend. I totally missed your birthday yesterday. Happy Belated Birthday, Ken!

Missed it. Happy Birthday, Ken!

Hey it might taste like soy sauce. I would not support the palm oil business if I could avoid it. It's a big part of the reason our environment is going to hell a big part

I am totally unaware. Leg's can you give more information or have a link? I'd really appreciate it.

Have a great, safe trip.

I heard from her via voicemail, yesterday, but didn't get a chance to talk to her. I'll call in a little bit and will report back. Hopefully, the walls are still intact!

Annnnd? I'd have committed harakiri by now.

Rookie.

Bacon Explosion: The BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes - BBQ Addicts - BBQ Blog

Oh my. Yep, I'm a rookie. Man, I wish I could gobble bacon like I did as a kid. Two slices in a day now and my Dr. would have me committed.

OT for short update on home & elderly family member situation: Had lengthy conversation with wonderful, very knowledgeable, attorney husband of ECFer. No need to worry/concentrate on possible situation until/if I'm served with legal papers. He thinks I may have a good chance to prevail if/when a court situation does come. Can assist me by recommending a good, more local, attorney if it comes to that, too. Can't thank him, nor his ECF wife, enough for some peace of mind!

So, I'll happily still be here more regularly as I'd prefer, for now. Still lots I need/want to learn from you all...especially since being coaxed into parting with a bunch of $$ ordering stuff recommended here before my Alaska trip!

I've also ordered even more to stash since I got back!

That's great news! ECF is a wonderful place. (No condescending BS in that comment!)

Do you want to try the gaskets?

On the Stocking Up thread, we're talking about what will happen to our stashes when we die.

So, who on the Old Folks threads should I tell my daughter to contact if something happens to me? She does already know to contact the Old Folks threads, at least.

Perhaps find a couple. As the deeming and state laws go forward, who knows what will happen. It's a fluid situation and instructions should be updated as needed. It would be nice to see a "stash" be divided among those most in need that either came late to the game of those with tight budgets.

It's not that goofy really. Unfortunately we've been through 'this' at our fly fishing / fly tying club. Over a lifetime quite a $$$ collection of rods, reels, tying tools and materials can be amaased (nice word for hoarding eh?). We've helped a few widows sell off their husbands 'stuff'. I helped one widow personally and raised close to $3000 for her. I never even knew her or her husband. Years ago her husband was a member of the club for a few years and she found my contact info among his stuff. We actually became friends after her husband past while I was helping her get rid of his stuff.

Mikey, you completely rock, as I wrote you in a PM.

That is the lamest excuse I've ever seen for buying a new.



Just kidding. How great is it you made a mistake and turned it into a winner? Now you need a backup for it. And don't forget a backup for the backup. Then there's the deeming stash. Do they carry them at FT?

Holy Moley...200 ???

Long time no see, hope all is well!

I have 5 liters in the freezer which at my 1 mg/ml vaping level will last well past my natural lifetime expectancy LOL

That ought to last you until 3256. Might want to buy more.

As of right now, five LEOs are dead, six wounded in Dallas. I'm sickened by this as much as I am by the senseless, needless killing of civilians by LEOs. Wish I had something profound to say but I'm at a loss for words right now.

 

[FranC]

Good morning,porchers. I have 5 litre of nic which I'm sure will outlive me. I didn't go crazy stocking pv's and toppers as I'm quite sure we have plenty. I've actually been semi-stocking up for years. Just got a new order of flavors yesterday.

 

[MikeE3]

My daughter taught the cat to fetch tonight.

That is all. Good-night.

Welcome to the porch Ipster. I don't remember seeing you here before. Please hang around the more the merrier.

Just under 8.... but my target is to make it to 120. (Was taught to set my goals high

Great idea, FT! Couple or so porchers to contact and see who's in need at that time.

 

[Kaezziel]

Lots and lots of Tootle Puffers! For example, I never sub-ohm and usually vape at about 7 watts. And, I'm not the only one by a long shot.

I'm usuallly not a Tootle Puffer. But no longer an extreme cloud chaser, either. With mechs, I would run very low sub-ohm to get the vape I wanted. Now, with regulated, I run between 0.5Ω and 0.75Ω... usually around 40-50W. But I'd kinda like to resurrect my old Tesla mod, so I'm thinking the Kayfun V3 Mini might just be the perfect little atty for that.

 

[DavidOck]

Working on the theory that everything in the hardware side will be out in public prior to 8/8/16,, and that 2018 becomes a problematic era of repairs: I would like to see if we can prepare ourselves a bit with repair information.

I currently do not have any information on what parts will work on another product. But down the road it would be nice to know if glass for 1 tank also fits 3 or 10 other tanks. Or any other given part.

Great idea going on over there, and I'm thinking some others here could add to what's (so far) a tiny list?

@2legsshrt, do you think he would be more cooperative if you offered to pay for his wifi while you are there using it? Approach it like you'd like to do it to be fair & show your appreciation & give him a little $$ break. Caregiving is not an easy job. Even a small show of appreciation by other family members goes a long way. Even if he is a general pita.

Misguided for sure. 5 officers dead, 12 officers wounded so far. They are still rounding up suspects. I sincerely hope hope that the thousands of witnesses that were also in the line of fire took note that none of the officers there were wearing any riot gear, h there was no SWAT or military style presence. The officers were there to protect the protesyers & ensure that they were able to conduct their march in peace & safety without interruption or hassle. I also hope they saw that the officers did not run, did not start shooting randomly, but tried to protect people as they fled. I hope they take note of who the shooters aligned themselves with as they put so many in danger who were protesting police violence. I hope they take care to educate their families.

That's a great idea. I'll offer him $20 that's 2 bottles of cheap vodka, I'm sure he'll jump on that. I know it's a hard job but after what he said on the phone I'd like to offer him a bullet between the eyes instead. Put him out of his misery. He gets free room and board all his gas paid for. TV internet but I will try that.

Hi ya Holi! How's paradise?

Paradise? I do not think so.

Good to see you! Been wondering how you're getting along. I have all you tourists, okay to send them back over there?

Whatever tourists you may have did not even put a dent to the hordes we have here. So many of them that the idiots think the highway is just a wide sidewalk.
