I'm finding that the only thing that's help'in me with Vapors Fatigue is Mt. Bakers Unflavored, AVE Gryphons Breath, Mt. Bakers Unflavored, AVE Boba's Bounty, Mt. Bakers Unflavored, ITC Vanilla, all in 6mg strength. If I do like Gryphons Breath then Boba's Bounty I start to loose my taste buds again :mad:. IDK, Still better than smoking though :thumb:, and I can always just go to Mt. Bakers Unflavored all the time as I do like the flavor, Yes, I said Flavor, no typo. I like the flavor of the Unflavored :confused:, Go Figure (does that mean that my buds are really sensitive to find flavor in the Unflavored, but then go dead with the Flavored ?). IDK, I'm corn-fused :confused: for sure, I'm gonna have a vape :vapor:, at 12W. Ooh, Ooh, I almost forgot the Dill Pickles, Yuuum.

LOL, yeah, I really like the flavor of unflavored too. Pity they want to take that away from us too. My favorite cure for vapers tongue that I've heard is a couple of shot of hard liquor. If it doesn't cure it, you won't care anyway. :D

I just bet that Some of the Very Nice people right here would be sure to keep you all stocked up on juice (Care Packages via snail mail) no matter what our "Good For Nothing" politicians pass or do. I put politicians in the same category as Child Molesters and should be treated as such. Just my view as they do more to hurt than help.

That's good to know, thanks. Planning on getting a Reo Friday
Wahooooo!!! In case you don't know, it will be mandatory for you to post a thread with pics when you get your Reo. If you do not do this......your reo will be confiscated! lol any chance you could move to Texas before Friday? We need 4 more Texans with their first reo on the reo roll call to reach 100. lol

I shouldn't have to let some outside firm sample them and tell anyone they want what it contains and suffer no penalty if they screw it up taking it from me just to keep my job.
that's insane!! I'm with others, don't see how this could possibly be legal, and it is, that should be changed. Why does the company do this if they aren't getting the results. Is the company asking the questions paying your company for allowing them to put y'all through this?? This sounds to me like something a lawyer would love to get their hands on. You mentioned city hall, and I remember your job, and so am assuming you work for the city, or at least a company that the city contracts. Are you considered a city employee? Hope you don't mind me bein nosy, but if you work for the city, that's gov't corruption at it's finest. As Iffy said, it's easy for us to say fight this, we're not faced with losing our job. Dunno if you're invested there for retirement which would make it harder, but I'd sure see how other workers feel if you can trust em, there is safety in numbers. Hard to fire everyone! I worked for the county, stood up to em over something I believed strongly was wrong that they were trying to force, I did lose my job 3 months later over a totally BS reason, and of course that was 3 months of them documenting any and everything on me, and making my life hell. When they couldn't make me quit they trumped up a reason to get rid of me.

but it did no good and I only got the pain meds..Now I can sit here with almost as much back pain and be sleepy at the same time....Doesn't that sound like FUN?!? :facepalm:
Dang that really stinks hun. I was getting 8 shots in my back at a time, and they really helped me be able to move better, but they made my sciatica go nuts, and that pain was just more than I could stand. So I quit getting them after about 3 sessions.

This micro management of some medications is ridiculous. I know some people abuse but they don't seem to be the ones having any trouble getting them.
Jup!!! Ya gotta be dang near dead here to get em..... but I'm bettin those abusing them have no issues getting them. Makes me so danged mad that I'm living in so much pain and can't get em.

Yes Deb..and I really dislike the side effects the Norco's have,..but refuse anything stronger for fear that I will become addicted. IKR?!? What difference would it make as I no longer am hire-able due to the heart attack..that in turn convinced me that I HAD to stop smoking or else cut my life very short..So vaping ended a 43 year smoking habit..I do SO miss working and feel worthless most of the time.
I want to drive BIG TRUCKS and talk on the CB radio and cuss out 4 wheelers all day..I want to tarp loads and lump freight to get out of the lame warehouses that won't spare lumpers,..( fork lift drivers). I want to stay gone 5 nights a week and come home with a pocket full of money,..dodge road gators,..(re-caps lost off of trailer tires) hehehe :p

I do so miss working,..and the only reason I still go for the procedures is because those shots give me around 2 months almost pain free! :w00t:

He told me about a new procedure where he goes in there with an electric needle and burns the nerve endings..thus giving a full 6 months pain free! This would mean NO more narcotic pain relievers! :w00t:

I would no longer have to worry about falling asleep in mid vape. :lol:

wow, that would scare me. But then the shots didn't make me pain free, just eased it up some, but it made the sciatic pain increase to the point I just was so miserable I couldn't hardly stand it. The vicodin helped, but still didn't get rid of the pain, but now you can't even get that here, even from the pain clinic unless you have massive pain that they can understand. I guess they don't understand why me having two broken vertebrae, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, nerve damage, and my right hip and shoulder being lower than the left, and some other issues, is causing me as much pain as it is. :confused: I was on 4/day 10-325's which 3 different docs had prescribed, and raised the dosage to that point, until they went to class II, then no more. skelaxin of all things does help a tiny bit, but not much. So now, it's just deal with the pain. Thank God for vaping, at least it keeps my nerves more even keeled. The vic didn't affect me badly, and I came off it with no issues other than increased pain, but it did at least help knock the pain down to where I could manage it better. I really hope they can find something to help you, just not sure I'd want em burnin my nerves lol

Yeah I know honey..I take the Norco 10/325 hydrocodone and yes,..it helps tremendously. The only thing is I have to go off of them every three days for a day so that they will still work..Abusers take more than they are suppose to because they get immune to the hydrocodone and without even meaning to,..become highly addicted to them..and have to move on to something stronger.

I have degenerative disc disease as well as a still cracked femur from the truck wreck back in '99. Some state road workers were picking up cones from recent highway work and a impatient 4 wheeler cut them off one fine morning. I was just coming up to their work area and suddenly saw break lights..It was still dark,..but I managed to get the truck off the highway to avoid making a greasy spot on I-85. That little truck had four men in the back of it and two up front..Would have made a red streak a mile long if I hadn't avoided them. :ohmy:

The lord was truly with me that morning as that Frightshaker was a total loss,..and I came out with only a busted knee and a sore back.

Store bought, as in B&M vs Online ?
Ohh an assortment. a couple from a gas n go, the rest from a couple of B&M's I think one or two was house brands the rest national brands as I recall. Vapin Plus was the gas station brand. I recall a Suicide Bunny melon flavored juice, and I do not remember the other brands, but they had cool labels ;)

yeah bad back issues here too. Degenerative disc disease. Can't get pain medicine that works due to knee jerk politicians legislating medicine. I take 500 mg Naproxins and they help a bit and make life bearable. Prolly destroying my liver, but ohh well....

I took hydrocodone for 12 years and did not get addicted. Only took it as needed for pain. When the state made it almost impossible for me to get them I stopped cold turkey and no withdrawl, etc just more pain. I now take about 1.5 gm of naproxin per day and scrape by.

Idk why not?!? I mean an MRI and general practitioners referral will get you into a pain management clinic..Then passing the old,.."No I'm not an drug seeking addict" test with the doctor,..( they have to do this mind you,..because plenty of folks are always willing to sell t high powered pain killers out of grannys house),..and then the only worry is being put on an ironing board and enduring 30/45 mins of torture during those back injections! :shock:

Joking it's not really that bad and those do help a lot,..( for me anyway ) and makes your juice taste so much better when it's all over with and you wobble out to your wife's car,..or whoever drives ya there..lol

Maybe there are not that many pain management clinics where you are?!?
