Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[Robert Cromwell]

I mix my tonic water with Cranberry juice to help make it more appealing - and Cranberry juice also has many health benefits. Since adding both to my diet and daily walking I get way fewer leg and foot cramps that used to keep me up all night. (I also have a bad back from a herniated L4/L5 disc in 2010) I too have to thank Bigbells for his suggestion of Tonic water - cause that is what led me to it

One of my original all day flavors was my Apple Cranberry juice. I just pulled some out the other night - and I might have to work on the mix - because it is not anywhere near as good as the mixes I have been making more recently. It was just Apple and Cranberry and sweetener- may have to try adding something maybe some Raspberry and Pomegranate since I also like my cranberry juice mixed with those for drinking.

What is it with you people and bitter stuff? Cranberries are bitter to me as well.

Cranberries? Not bitter, just too sour to eat fresh without sugar.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Ohh man this is really bitter so lets add something else bitter to it?

If you have the bitter gene they are bitter. Wife tastes many things that are bitter as heck to me and says it is sour.
She thinks persimmons are just sour. BITTER to me.
Gooseberries now are sour, when green they are perfect sour with no other flavor.

TY KariM and Bigbells...Somehow I just knew I would benefit from hanging around "Older Folks and Vaping's Front Porch" You guys and gals are totally awesome..I will contribute some the knowledge I have learned in the almost two years I have been vaping...You truly can teach an old dog new tricks and that goes for Star Puppies as well!

For as long as I have used mech mods,..I have used "Ideal Noalox" as a conductive anti oxidant compound..It works really well but it's pretty messy..I didn't really know of an alternative until I bought the Woodvil'..Everyone told me to get a small tube of "DeoxIT D100" contact cleaner and a small tube of "DeoxIT Gold" for a really good conductive contact conditioner..Well I did and this stuff is amazing!

Got the authentic Tugboat in today. Flawless did a good job getting it out quickly. These V1 top caps have one air hole on each side compared to two for the clone but that works out better for my single coil builds. I really don't notice any tighter tolerances on the authentic. The top cap on the clone feels a little heavier. Authentic top is milled out more on the inside and is very thin. Feels like it could be pot metal but IDK. Maybe that's what the colored ones are. Center pin on the authentic extends past the threads and looks OK for use on hybrid mechs. Not blown away so I'm glad it was discounted heavily but it seems to vape just fine.

26ga 8 wrap

1.1 Ohms

Kbox Mini still working good. Orange atty looks good, IMO. Authentic seems to leak a little less than the clone so far. I've read the cap on these expands a little from the heat and lets juice drop down. Never had it get so bad that it got into the 510 connection. NBD Forgot to add that the posts and screws on the authentic seem to be higher quality than the clone. Nice solid feel tightening the screws down onto the wire with no cuts. Easy to tell when it's tight enough.

Nice and tight build.

I think he just called me illogical and pointless............how did he know????? I thought I hid it so well!!!

I take 500 mg Naproxins and they help a bit and make life bearable.

Couldn't take rx naproxin, tore up my stomach. skelaxin helps a tiny bit. Sorry to hear you're dealing with it too.

Idk why not?!? I mean an MRI and general practitioners referral will get you into a pain management clinic

Depends on the area you live in. The pain clinic here was the first ones to say I had to get off them. Then my reg doc moved to the VA due to all the crap coming down. All docs here are so anti opiates that you gotta be dyin or worse to get em now. It's ridiculous.

Because I put it down somewhere a couple of months ago and have not seen it since...

wow, only benefit to living mostly in a corner. Not many places to set sumpthin down and lose it. I do manage that with smaller items though. But so far haven't lost any reos or other mods.

Wanna make some lychee cranberry e juice and see how that is. Ty to dave and kari as well for the tip on tonic water.
Robert, dunno if I have the bitter gene, never heard of that, but lots of things do taste bitter to me, grapefruit, can't eat em no matter how much sugar is on em cuz they're bitter. And I really don't like bitter things. But for some reason I'm good with cranberry sauce and a little of the juice.

1000 years ago was issued Valium for back pain. Reason being... it's a muscle relaxer. *Specifically* created for back pain. Worked like a charm. Try getting it today. And they wonder why older folks walk bent over.

I get plenty of valium.

 

[FlamingoTutu]

I've got a mod that I haven't used in a while... Because I put it down somewhere a couple of months ago and have not seen it since...
I remember taking the battery out, setting it down, and now I cannot find it.
It will turn up someday.

Just pretend you put it away for the vapeocalypse, or however you spell it. Probably turn up tomorrow.
