Don't you remember that Australia has a BAD problem with those mice eating EVERYTHING in sight, they got like 100,000,000 of them. I Say Just Shoot it !!!
Touch the mouse and you die. :sneaky:
to me, it tastes like general sweet tarts. Like when you put 5 or 6 in your mouth at once. :)
Oh yay, now I have an excuse to buy them! Probably haven't had one in at least a decade.
OMG! I am so sorry. I don't know how that happened. I need to get my head out of the clouds. I apologize for the mistake.
No worries. After a page or two it's hard to remember who said what. Common problem among porchers. :(
Ok , well I thought we would hear him/her stick to it and then I could catch him and take him down the park.
One time one was on top of the bench and I quickly grabbed one and put the mouse in a jar and took down the park to set free.
Thats what I was saying I'm not into killing them. Even turned off the sound emitter , which either doesn't work or this mouse has been putting up with it.
I haven't seen any southern lights , its been cloudy here at night and if those southern lights are near Antartica we are far from there.

Ordered mum this kanger aero tank mow , the protank has been good but the glass does come away when you take the bottom off to refill.
So you have to hold the glass and the top part together. When this other tank comes which looks like the tank stays together when you take the bottom off , I'll see about glueing the protank tank to the top.
Our mice aren't impressed with emitters either. We finally just bought a Hartz live trap and move them back outside. Unsticking them may injure them, I'm not sure but there has to be a better way. Don't you love being outsmarted by something that weighs an ounce? Not sure where the "quiet as a mouse" saying came from because they make quite a racket and even knock stuff off the counters, lol.

Problem with the PT is why I got the Davides. No leaks, completely disassembles. The only booger is not to lose the gaskets when you take them completely apart.

Sorry you can't see them. They can in Sydney. Guess they are pretty spectacular around the world right now.

No worries, Diver.

Done!

My comments:
My health has radically improved since I started using vapor products and stopped smoking cigarettes. People often forget that smoking isn't always about nicotine, but it's about the tactile habits of having something in one's hand or whatever other psychological reasons that cause people to continue smoking.

Nicotine is not always a tobacco product. Common vegetables including Eggplant, Green Tomatoes, Cauliflower and even Potatoes contain naturally occurring amounts of nicotine.

Nicotine has been shown to improve cognitive function in patients with dementia and other memory debilitation.

It's not the nicotine that is dangerous (unless ingested in excessive quantities), it's all of the other substances that have been added to cigarettes to make them addictive and harmful.

I chose to smoke cigarettes, even though I knew there were risks. I choose to use electronic cigarettes and vapor products to minimize and/or eliminate my exposure to known dangers.

Please consider the positives from the use of vapor products, and support those of us who have successfully quit smoking tobacco products.

OK, totally different experience with a rayon wick after I boiled the rayon first, then let it dry out.

I don't consider this to be proof positive, since this is only my second rayon wick. The first one was without boiling the rayon and I did not care much for the flavor. I did trim the ends more with this second one than I did with the first, so that may also be a factor. It would be hard to convince me at this point, though, that the boiling didn't make the flavor better.

Stay tuned for future compilation of additional data.

Edit: nyah, spoke too soon. The same characteristic that my taste buds perceive as an off-flavor is still there. Replacing this wick with a KGD wick as we speak.

That's a shame. At least you tried. I could never stand the plain old cotton yet other people swore by it.

Done! :)
Thanks for posting the link.

done & signed
Thank you both! :) 184 people so far. I know Robin has asked SJ to make it banner or whatever like the CTAs used to be (wish they'd bring those back) and a note sent to Busardo and other things. If you guys have any ideas or can post it, forward or share it, Lessifer has given the okay to do so. Thread is here. Would a change dot org petition help us? | E-Cigarette Forum

Here's what I wrote to go along with my signature on the change dot org petition. I also posted it to my FB profile:

I never thought I would give up smoking, despite increasing major health problems that it caused me after decades of heavy smoking. Vaping changed that over two years ago and my health has dramatically improved. The nicotine that I use in the liquid that I vaporize is derived from tobacco, but nicotine represents no threat to my health. Nicotine is found in other substances besides tobacco but is easier and cheaper to extract from tobacco than from other sources. However, I am neither smoking nor am I consuming the thousands of harmful ingredients found in tobacco, especially in processed tobacco. There is no sound reason for classifying vapor products as tobacco products, and I urge the US Government to reject such classification.

Bells - just a curiosity question - have you tried different juices w/ rayon and get the same taste results. Some of my flavs tasted different but not an off taste - it was like the taste was coming through 'cleaner'.
