Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[Ken_A]

Works for me......Ken, you don't mind if we lock you up do you?? lol We'll feed ya and smuggle juice in to ya. Just can't let anyone know you're interested in it. It's either that or you have to become interested in snakes, mosquitos, and all the icky stuff and totally ignore all the good stuff!

...

if you locked me in the basement, I couldn't fly my quad-copter, so that's out. I was thinking about doing some research into marriage customs... But an Okalhoma senator has proposed doing away with mirage licenses... So I'm staying away from Marrage..
Maybe I could get real intrested in stupid legislation! That would help everyone!

Posted about this out back, but it occurs to me that it's vape-related ... Does anybody know where to find a "Jacqui Wrap?" It's a purely decorative coil-y thing that winds up a tube-shaped mod to and around the tank. I googled it, but no luck.

I saw in the "show us your girly..." thread, you posted the same question on where to get those wire-wraps for tanks... And got the answer much faster!

So glad you told me, Ken. For some reason, I didn't see it in my Subscribed Threads list!

I also use a trackball (Logitech) and don't like to use conventional mice. The fact that the mouse stays put is very much to my liking and I've been using a trackball for a good decade now. The right and left click buttons wear out after a year or two but I've resigned myself to purchasing a new one (about $30) when that happens. I like the fact that the trackball pops out easily, which makes it easy to remove with my finger whatever grit and hairs have accumulated at the contact points.

I use a CH Products DT225 trackball, which is built like a tank. The only noticeable wear I get is on the steel roller pins that the ball rests on. I've worn through three sets of those already, but they're just 2" long pieces of 1/8" steel rod, so I make my own replacements.

I got it used on ebay for something like $50 about a decade ago. Highly recommended.

Amoret, weren’t you looking for bottles similar to these?

View attachment 405941

I know it’s not the same but they’re pretty similar. They come in 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50ml. Link to 30ml $2.76 Empty Needle Refiller Bottle for E-Liquid (5-Pack) 5-pack - 30ml / PE / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Yes, Yes! Thank you. Of course now I'll have to order something else from Fasttech, too.

I've gotten very used to Apple's Magic Mouse. It's an optical mouse with a 'track pad' surface. Cursor movement is controlled by moving the mouse and finger swipes/movements across the top controls scrolling. Sort of the best of a mouse and trackpad w/o any moving parts.

It's USB powered by 2 AA batts. Batt life is horrible though - I get about 5-6 weeks from a pair of batts. Someday I need to invest in rechargeable AA's and a charger.

Rechargeable batteries? That's MADNESS! Who has the patience to keep batteries charged all the time!

Oh, wait...

So, I've been trying to get a response from my Teapublican US representative about his position on vaping, with no response. I finally got borderline rude on my third request, and got a voicemail this morning (after saying I prefer email to phone, but if they had to call, to do it in the afternoon) from an intern basically saying that he (Re. Cramer) knows nothing about it, and wanting me to call back and talk. I'd been carefully not letting them know my position while asking, since he is the type to answer whatever he thinks you want to hear.

So now, in addition to convincing myself to actually talk to someone (can you say extreme introvert?) I need to have some good information gathered to hand for when I call. It should be interesting.

I've got an outline on this, and a longer written response that I hope t send him. But, I'm particularly looking for the study (British? European?) that showed better quit rates for people using vaporizers than for traditional NRTs and quit smoking support. Does anyone here know where I could find that? I know I've seen it, but not having any luck finding it.

Of course for this particular congress critter I'm mostly emphasizing that the proposed regulations would hurt small businesses, extend federal overreach, and add to bureaucracy and paperwork. Despite his being on the Energy and Commerce Committee, and the Subcommittees on Communications and Technology and Environment and the Economy, most actual scientific analysis would not be a strength of his.

I think it was when I was 54 that I spent the whole year thinking I was 55. After I turned "56" my mother told me to do the math. Wound up being 55 for two years.

I end up thinking I'm a year older every year. I have to do the math every year on my actual birthday. I always start saying I'll be xx soon, or I'm almost xx. Like sa kid saying I'm almost 5. I start doing it about 6 months or so away. Then I can't decide if I did it this year or not. I need to start saying I just turned xx, then maybe I can keep it straight!

She was on ECF. Her thread is closed. Have no idea's, maybe she's stopped making them. Check out Etsy for mod or ecig bling or wraps. I've seen them there.

I hear you Wolf since I moved Laptop #1 upstairs and I'm using Laptop#2 downstairs I keep reaching for my track ball These touchpads are ok but I like the track ball.

My big laptop has a removeable track pad that I can take out & put anywhere that is comfortable to use. I hate track pads, tho. I use a plain old wireless optical mouse. I've used several specialty types, but keep coming back to this. I finally decided that my hand is happiest here!

Well I finally got some peppery nic. I used some I mixed up in June and just been sitting on the table room temp. Sure as well you know it was peppery. Wasn't in June. Just dumped 300ml of 6mg stuff I made out. I like the 100mg right out of the fridge most of it is in the freezer but I keep a stock in the fridge too. Just shake it up and even though it is 50/50 it mixes right up.

Who did you get it from?

The hubby has one of those and his rechargeable AAs will charge in my Nitecore i4 charger if that helps.

Mike, I've tried the rechargeable AA. Not worth the effort in my opinion. First thing is they aren't really 1.5 volts, something like 1.22 volts and they're NiCad so they develop memory if you don't run them all the way down. Because of the lower voltage they don't last nearly as long as a cheap pair of regular AA. I just buy the Costco brand of alkaline batteries and replace them as needed. I must have 50 (only slight exaggeration) remote controls around here and of course they all usually go bad at once.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

Mileage must vary alot. We have rechargeable AAs and AAAs in remotes and end up charging them Maybe twice a year. Hubby changes out the rechargeables in his keyboard and mouse maybe every 2 weeks.

Second the motion. Actually use a nice sized Kensington wireless roller mouse on my Imac. Apple mice are too darn small.

What would you all say if I told you that you could get a full on SvoëMesto Kayfun Lite + for almost the same price as a clone? I was looking at the link they provided on the V4 thread (Self-e-steam.com) and they have the Lite for €48.99. The euro in $0.88 to the dollar. That works out to $43 for an original Kayfun Lite +. Remember that if they are sending it to the US of A you don't pay the VAT. Not a bad deal. Just thought I would pass it on in case anyone is interested.

Of course there is shipping but, we pay that anyway. ☺

I went through the whole registration process so I could reconoiter the shipping costs in case anyone is interested. From the Netherlands to my house in Hampton is $19.90. Little steep for my pocketbook but it is a genuine SvoëMesto.

Link please?? So that's like 60.00 for a genuine?

I think that's backwards, Matt. The dollar is worth 88 cents to one Euro.
