Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[garyoa1]

Welcome nicnac. I'm at work, so I'm drive-by posting.

Don't you mean "fly" by?

Heh Heh....flying by with vape in hand................

 

[bigbells]

I am here. Hope you like it I'm not familiar with that one will look it up.
You should watch Busardos review on that one he'll tell you a couple of things to watch out for with that one so you'll know before you accidently do it.

Jup, I've watched all of the videos that Busardo has done on temperature control devices. Many of those videos go over an hour these days but nobody is more thorough. I actually find that his more recent videos contain a higher percentage of pure information than his older ones did.

Might make an appearance at the hangout tonight if there is an invite for two.

no invites are needed, unless you're on a phone and can't get there, then we need your email address. Or at least I do since that's the only way I know to do an invite for those who can't find it.

I seem to shake everything now including try to shake the toothpaste, bag of dog treats, flashlight, bottle of beer and the TV remote. But many things are starting to taste stronger. Yesterday raw carrots tasted like they were on steroids. What is this, phase two of taste bud recovery?

too funny! I picture everything, and you were quite the site when yur beer bottle sprayed all over ya!

No. just stumbled into this thread.

glad to have ya here! Hope you visit the back porch too

he's down to about 5 cigarettes a day! Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

that's wonderful!!!!! so glad y'all got him something he likes!

It turns out that in this nursing home I'm incarcerated in that a towel is an extremely important multi functional accessory

Do you have a bag or something you can keep personal items in that you could maybe put a small lock on? That way you could have some of your own in there, if someone could come get them periodically to wash them. If nothing else, at least bring you some wet wipes and paper towels perhaps. Any idea how long you'll be there?

looks like I'm about to join the ranks of those vaping unflavored base

I was surprised that unflavored tasted much better than I thought it would. A little sweet, even though it was high pg Had hoped to already have this stuff mailed to you, but haven't been able to get with my son yet.

Just watch out for the cushions there - some of them are reportedly loaded...

Fully loaded and and automatic. Some day we have to put one in his chair.

Well I just got an email from Mt Baker. It seems Louisiana is trying to put in place a $.05/mL tax on eLiquid.

That sucks. Washington is still holding on by their fingernails. Keep up the fight guys!

Wa HB2211 is back | E-Cigarette Forum

Howdy folks!

I posted a couple days ago about my pops, he's in his 60's and has smoked about two packs a day since he was in his teenager, he's a Vietnam vet and an all around good person. Cigarettes have definitely done irreversible damage to him, but any cigarettes he doesn't smoke at this point is definitely better than what he was doing. I took him up to a B&M in town which is actually really nice, they mark up the prices a bit but you have a 30 day warranty and don't have to pay for shipping. Shopping in places like this also helps support vapers, which is cool. Anywho, I took him down there to look at some devices and pick out something he liked. I think he made a good choice for a beginner, he's down to about 5 cigarettes a day! Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Flippin' fantastic! Guess you read through all ten pages of our recommendations. Tell your father we're proud of both of ou. Five isn't bad at all, he's doing better than I did. What a fantastic thing you have done for him, be proud of yourself.

Fantastic! I love good news.

I have 2 iStick 50s and so far no problems. I am aware of the problems and don't leave an atty attached. I also store them carefully when not in use. So hopefully...

Puppy breath on the back porch.

PUPPY! Awwww. Show the pictures to my husband and he immediately asked if we could swap El Whacko for the little guy. Gorgeous looking pup oozing personality. Congratulations mom!

Hoo boy, did I get behind

I have been thinking about that a lot lately. It turns out that in this nursing home I'm incarcerated in that a towel is an extremely important multi functional accessory. And hard to get and keep possession of, since they want to hand out one at a time for particular uses and then immediately snag them back and put them in the laundry.

In the meantime I want to have one on hand to: wipe my tablet screen, use as a bib (since my hand problems make refined table manners impossible), wipe my hands and the inevitable water spills on the table, pad the edge of my cast, prop the tablet up, etc. Obviously not all at once or in that order, but you get the picture.

So I've been thinking about Hitchhiker's, and that it would be the obvious and easy way to explain my desire for towels. But since most of the CNAs here are very young Somali refugees I suspect that they wouldn't pick up on the reference.

Yep, in my current lockup vaping is definitely not allowed. And while I definitely miss the hand/mouth ritual, the nicotine wasn't an issue the first week. But then I did start to lose my temper (justifiably) and get snappish. Which wasn't a useful coping skill, so I did order some lozenges. But I haven't had any urge to smoke.

Hey, your down in the tropics. In a former life I worked at the Prairie Island power plant and lived near Cannon Falls, so I know.

That's great to hear. The best setup is the one that he likes. And I sure wouldn't worry about the remaining smokes. It took me awhile to get rid of the last ones.

Holy cow amoret, I didn't know. Hope you are out soon. Anything we can do for you? I can even send towels if you want. Let us know and get well (heal) soon.

I am here. Hope you like it I'm not familiar with that one will look it up.

Legs!

I do have a clone also and it's my favorite atty. $35 is one hell of a deal for real stuff though.
$.05/mL tax on eLiquid would drive me to DIY

Attention everybody! We have a new person to convert to DIY!

AND, you are absolutely correct. I've already email my reps and all that hot mess. Of course, they are increasing the tax on cigarettes as well. I'm still tryiing to figure out why the won't increase the tax on booze!!

Because politicians like to booze it up and smoke expensive cigars?

Jup, I've watched all of the videos that Busardo has done on temperature control devices. Many of those videos go over an hour these days but nobody is more thorough. I actually find that his more recent videos contain a higher percentage of pure information than his older ones did.

I also like his videos, all questions are pretty well answered by the end of them.

Way to many quotes in the last post. Don't want to burst your mental image there but I shook it up with the cap on, realized what I did and quietly put it back in the fridge. Unfortunately my husband didn't have a beer that night. Was so disappointed.

 

[FlamingoTutu]

Found it. To prove that politicians are lushes, this happened in California. Late Night Limos For Lawmakers? | myMotherLode.com These are the people deciding what we can or can't do.

Unfortunately in my mind......you got it all over ya!

Fair enough but just so you know, that has never, ever happened to little old moi.

I was going to make some unflavored today but it was the other half's (third if you include El Whacko, and he always does) birthday today. With so much talk of it, I'm actually craving it right now.

Is there a secret handshake to checking out on ecig-express? been trying for half an hour.......getting nowhere...

Guess they don't want my money....

you didn't get the secret decoder ring?

what's it doing........or not doing? I've never checked out there so dunno, but maybe between the 3 of us we can figger it out

I've never used them but the only time I've had trouble checking out someplace is because I didn't check their usually well hidden terms of service check box. That or the site was down and it didn't know it yet.

 

[yiddleboge6]

Nope...didn't get the ring. box at top said some products out of stock.....checked everything on my list....removed the one offending flavor.....hit checkout, and......I don't go anywhere.....no matter how many times I try.....stays on the same page....doesn't ask me for method of payment.....nothing.....just won't let me complete the checkput

 

[yiddleboge6]

not my night....can't get the quote to work now. I looked for the terms....found a button said"billing agreements"....clicked on it....said I don't have one....didn't give me anymore info

 

[Debadoo]

hmmm maybe try getting out of it, and restarting your puter.........that usually fixes stuff like that for me. could be they're just having site issues at the moment yiddle

So there is nothing in tiny red print if you scroll up indicating where the error is? If not, and if it were me, I would just wait and try again tomorrow. I've had my card hijacked twice and am gun shy though. No idea where the info was stolen from. Probably a glitch in the system but let someone else be the guinea pig.

LOL...been through that a couple of times....no worries on that....they won't let me get to a page where I can enter my card info

Well there's a bonus! Not a very good hack in that case.

Hi Nermal!

Howdy folks!

I posted a couple days ago about my pops. Anywho, I took him down there to look at some devices and pick out something he liked. I think he made a good choice for a beginner, he's down to about 5 cigarettes a day! Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Great news about your Dad. Thank you for coming back to update us on what he decided on.

Welcome nicnac - to one of the best threads on ECF

 

[Ken_A]

Your headache went away because you started vaping unflavored or because you stopped taking statin?

welcome to the porch!! you won't find a better group of people!
