Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[Ken_A]

Papa

Hope you like the new job.
I'm having problems tonight.... 12 flavors, and I cannot settle on any one of them... I've got 7 devices loaded up, and I keep switching out atomizers not sure what is in each one anymore... fortunately, my nose works and I can tell by smell what to reload with when the time comes.
there was a time when only taste worked... sort of.

 

[Debadoo]

Sorry you're havin a rough time tonite Ken. Do you have any really strong mint to shock your taste buds with?

 

[Ken_A]

actually, a strong mint is one of my choices... it's not that they don't taste right, or have faded... Just cannot get into them. It's a matter of what taste I "feel like" and apparently, I don't "feel like" any of them.
so I guess it's possible to have lots of choices and no preferences after all. First time that ever happened to me.

hmmmmmm well that stinks. got any that would mix well together? Maybe for sumpthin kinda new?

 

[Ken_A]

[Debadoo]

I'm late to the party (it's been a busy week), but Harbor Freight is fine for consumables like drill bits, diamond burrs, sand paper, and so on, and they're also good for non-power tools, but the general opinion seems to be to stay away from anything containing a motor. On the other hand, they sell those Chicago Electric rotary tools for under $10, and the question is really, how long do you need it to last? What I usually do is to buy the cheap Harbor Freight tool, and if I wear it out, then that means I'm using it enough to justify getting an expensive good one somewhere else. But, a lot of tools, I've only used half a dozen times or so, and I'm glad to have saved the money.

I'd say a dremel is generally useful enough that it makes sense to pay a little more and get a real one, though.

So, I'm almost at my break even point! Should be some time next week!

By the way, the good news is I got the job and I'm officially full-time, probationary, permanent faculty. The bad news is that I'm teaching another completely new course, which I'm building as I go. So, not a lot of time to stop and smell the roses, but I'm having fun.

Congratulations! That's wonderful! And to top it off I found a way that we can watch you while you ar at work!

Somebody, don't remember who, was asking about cherry flavoring for joose.

The following is a joose that I find excellent, but it unfortunately contains 2 different cherry flavors from 2 different sources.... not very convenient. It also has a 3rd flavor that's not cherry. But since it's really good, here it is:

1.2% TFA Maraschino Cherry
10.0% MBV Black Cherry
4.4% TFA Clear Double Chocolate

It's definitely a sweet-tasting joose. I can't imagine that anyone would want to add sweetener. Not surprisingly, it tastes a lot like chocolate covered cherries. I think the Clear Double Chocolate is my favorite TFA chocolate flavor.. I've tried them all.

 

[Ken_A]

It was me asking about the cherry.
I also use TFA flavors, and my current batch is .5ml black and .5ml Maraschino in a 30ml bottle.
I think that comes to about 1%?
It has a slight medicine aftertaste.
It doesn't take all that much flavor for me.

Have you tried the TFA Maraschino Cherry all by itself? I find it's a very good flavor, improves with a couple days of steeping, and doesn't have any chemical or medicine taste that I can detect. It is sweet, but I like sweet.

 

[Ken_A]

I will try that on the next batch... maybe even try just the Black cherry @ .5ml and see how that goes.

Congrats, Papa! So you and the guy who hired you are both on probation, eh?

Nice to hear from you and nicer to hear you got the position.

I suppose the 'new course' isn't a vaping course - that would be too much to expect from the new position - eh?

The women who hired me are both temporary, but are not probationary. They're both administrators, and only faculty have to go through that particular hoop. It's all part of the tenure process. Historically, faculty get tenured so that they have the academic freedom to pursue unpopular research (when you're tenured, you can't get fired just because the administration doesn't like your research). Since administrators don't need the same academic freedom, they don't usually get tenure, and so there's no probationary period.

I would love to teach a 1 credit-hour course for the Health and Fitness department on vaping, but given the way things are going politically, I think I'd have a lot of trouble trying to convince a department chair to let me teach it. We do have some faculty who vape, but I doubt we have many supporters in Health and Fitness.

If any are interested the coil master is available at Vapor Tek for $10 wow I paid 20 I think they label the diferrent sizes now too. 5 sizes included and they work great. It doesn't get any easier, I wrap my coil make 2 extra wraps then turn the coil around and pull 2 wraps off. Put the coil on and fire it it will not glow eavenly run a flathead screwdriver over it lightly twice and voila glows perfectly. Takes about 10min. No pinching or anything else. Use RIP's wire straightening method and it tankses less time then ordering from a vendor.

And here we are tonight, and I cannot seem to stay away from the Maui sunrise from MBV and the black licorice. Strange how that works. On day you cannot settle on anything and the next, you cannot get enough of something.

Can't see that one either. Must be something I don't have on the puter.

Ok.......so gotta question. This time for someone else. I know I heard folks talking about not likely the KST so much til they put a certain build on it......but don't remember if it was some folks here talking about that........was it you legs?? anyhow, if it was anyone here, what build did you do that made you like it?
