You know what I did that what I did find was a bunch of extensions that got put on Chrome. I am using IE and not having a problem. Considering uninstalling Chrome and reinstalling it. It either came from My Freedom Smokes. Or it was when it told me I needed to update Flash. I usually avoid those but this one looked real enough. Hey congrats Slots and Iffy you guys have taught me a lot.

Continued on the back porch :)

I stalk mostly. I am still here and have followed over to the new porch!

Well, quit yer darn stalking and type a little louder!

(Or at least more often!)

Hey, I found another vaper in the wild!! We pulled into a parking space at the grocery store yesterday and as I got out of the car the lady was getting into her car right next to me. She said she was glad to see another vaper besides herself. How nice! Seems most of her family are now vaping. When I mentioned that she could make her own juice and she was very interested so I told her about ECF. Hope she checks it out. :vapor:

Well I asked this quiestion before but how do you become a member of Provarinati?? Secret handshake or have to run around the neighborhood naked with all your Provari's or what. It must've gotten lost in cyberspace.
I think you just buy one!

By the way, I remeber someone wanting some pictures of the K4 stainless tank.

Hi :blush:

Robin here. I have read a bit of the 'Porches' threads here and there.
I love the camaraderie that you all share and I do know quite a few of you from your postings throughout the forum. :)
I think it is easier for new people to join when the new thread starts....not so much to go through from the beginning.

I use a P3 and KFL+. I am a minimalist in the respect when it comes to vaping. I even have one liquid that I use daily. I used the eGo twist and vivi nova combo when I first started...wow over two years ago. Got my first ProVari as a Christmas present from my never smoked husband two short months after I knew vaping actually worked.

I used the ProVari and Nova combo for years and heard about how long coils last on the kayfun. Even though I would have to learn how to build a coil, it sounded like it would be worth it, seeing how long it could last with just switching out the wick. Upgraded to the P3 when it came out and that is where I am now. I don't see me trying anything else for a very, very long time.

Well, that's my story.

Hi :laugh:

Welcome to the porch Robino. Golly - maybe we need a more new porch grand openings, like w/ the change of each season.:blush:

How in the heck do you find your original post.

Someone already 'searched you up'. But one was is to use the advance search feature and search the thread for all posts by your username. The go look at the earliest posts you made.

Even though I don't post very often, I just had to come to show how happy I am that so many new residents have joined the porch.

I'm still keeping it simple sweet, cause it works!

Mike, what an excellent intro to Part Three!

Just so I still feel part of the group, here is my first post back in 6/29/2012:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, this place is just too friendly not to post!

I've been reading most of your posts for quite awhile now and since I am 72, I definitely fit into the category of 'older' folks!

I've been vaping since April '09 and with my first vape, I was sold. I have a friend in Altamonte Springs who was kind enough to let me experience vaping while at lunch one day. Of course I had to give the battery back to her after we were done eating!
I got in the car to go home and lit a cigarette and I couldn't finish it. It tasted so......dirty.....went home got online and ordered my kit. I had smoked those nasties since I was 22.......that's 47 years! OMGoodness, just typing that, it seems incredible.

I've been using 808s since the beginning, and I've been very satisfied. I get good t/h, good vapor and good flavor...at least most of the time. I know I'm probably in the minority when I say I love the 808s, but I like it simple sweet.
It was DonDaBoom who recommended the Volt last August, and have been using their products ever since.

Lately, I've been sort of peeking at all the other stuff that can be had, but I simply have too much 808 gear to switch, so when I bought the Phoenix, I did get adapters, and now am using the 808 Phoenix. They're OK, but I feel the flavors are a bit muted.

I'm waiting for SI to have their 30% sale tomorrow starting at 6pm and will get the newer X2. I have SIs clearomizers also, and while I love the style, it does have its weaknesses. Glad I only got three of them.

Oh wow, when I start yapping, I have a hard time stopping.........so, am stopping now!

Wow! Pardon the phrase but you're def one of the old timers when it comes to vaping experience on the porch. I think 2legs goes back that far and maybe semi- too.

ROFL .......... I took that picture.

yoohoo! Your pups famous. Do you get royalties each time the pictures used? :?:

Well I asked this quiestion before but how do you become a member of Provarinati?? Secret handshake or have to run around the neighborhood naked with all your Provari's or what. It must've gotten lost in cyberspace.

I think you just hang out in the Provari threads and you become one by osmosis or something.

I think you just buy one!

By the way, I remeber someone wanting some pictures of the K4 stainless tank.

Ok - but my 1st impression was a micro-beer keg. :blush:

Go to this thread and request a banner. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provape/545141-signature-request-thread.html

You can also get this (v2.5 version) ProVarinati End Cap with Spring - P2.5 or (P3 version) ProVarinati End Cap with Spring - P3 They were designed and voted on by the folks in the ProVape sub forum and came out astoundingly well, far better than the pictures of them. $2.95 from each sale is donated 50/50 to CASAA and Wounded Warrior Project. We couldn’t decide on which of the two so went 50/50. Wounded Warrior Project Veterans Charity that Honors & Empowers Wounded Warriors | Wounded Warrior Project

Like Mike said, just buy one. But, if you want a Provarinati signature banner, go to the Provari forum. Somewhere in there is a member that will make you your very own Provarinati avatar or signature banner.

Mike, that new Provarinati end cap is so cool!
Thanks! I got a couple.

I just used the generic banner. I'm not to good at design stuff!

Has anyone else had a problem with first a whole bunch of unwanted websites, which I think I fixed and having to log in everytime.

No, no problems here, Legs. Sounds like you got hit with a browser "hi-jack." Depending on the browser, the ways to eliminate it vary. But start by updating your anti-virius and doing a FULL DEEP scan of your entire computer. (That can take quite some time.) Then check your browser's add-on and such, and maybe clear it's cache, check the cookies.

You can also go to Office Depot. They are having a free PC cleaning event. In store or on their website!

Yep. That's it. Find the thread and anounce that it's the best thing mankind has invented since fire. :D

I have a provari, but I use my trlescoping mods more often. ;)

I believe it calls for the sacrifice of a new MVP and the sale of your soul to Phil busardo

The first real mod I got was a ProVari mini about 1.5 years ago. Then I went on a year long mech mod kick. 2 Nemesis clones, two Stingrays and a SloJo by Celtic mods but got tired of having a new fresh battery having to burn the crud off the coil from the previous low battery. That and I got tired of ye ol bottom buttons. I since scored 3 more ProVaris and I like them much better. No more locking ring or worries about stuck switches! Just me though. To each there own!

Looks like I’m the only one that’s gotten away with not really writing an intro. My name is Flamingo and I’m 29. Being a woman, I’ve been counting my birthday backwards for about 15 years. Began smoking at twelve, I’m pretty sure, and smoked for 43 years. The math doesn’t quit add up but I started very close to one birthday and recently had one so I’ll leave it at that. 43 years was a very hard pill to swallow when I calculated it the first time and I’m not adding to it now.

Just passed 21 months smoke free and it still blows me away that I was finally able to dump cigarettes for good. I was up to being a 2 PAD+ chimney when I finally found what worked for me. I had tried everything I knew of to quit; gum, patch, inhaler, pills, cold turkey, hypnosis and probably a few I’ve forgotten about. In about ’09 tried a cigalike and it might have worked if I’d understood nic strengths. I was advised to use 4mg. Yeah, right. Tried it again four years ago and my most notable accomplishment was nearly setting it on fire at the dog park while trying to light it when El Whacko (our dog, then a puppy, real name Oscar) ruffled my feathers.

A little over two years ago my husband had a coworker that vaped. He inquired about it, told me and I ordered the same immediately. It was a Volcano Inferno kit and it took me about 5 ½ months to finally convert completely. Five months after quitting I finally found ECF. I was perfectly happy with the go type batteries, did get a Spinner later on, and moved up to a ProVari as a vaperversary present at one year. Been using the Davides for over a year and a half and couldn’t be happier with them.

Hmmmnn. I think you need to google on Mormon temple rites. I think the Provarinati based their rites on that. Sort of a Masonic thing.
