Hey my Russian Flavors all got here today. Now I can make some real Strawberry and Cream. The strawberry is like eating a strawberry out of the field and the cream smells buttery creamy I just know it will be another favorite. I got Blueberry, Cupcake, Caramel, Cream, haven't tried those but know they will be good. The way the Cream smells might be able to use it at 1-1.5%

Not bad these went DHL 19 days but 7 of that was at Frankfurt and 3 and ISC I think New Jersey probably New York.
oh I thought these were the ones from Russia. But did you get those? I can't keep up with what I do, much less all that happens to everyone else :facepalm:

jup, and these were a 2 pack at lowes for less than 10.00 only 30 lumens I think, but it's not bad. Has the white light, a red one, green one, and a blinking red one. the green one comes in handy if I need to go potty when my SIL is sleeping.
I picked up 2 packs of those last year on clearance for $5 each. Not bad little lights for the money. I keep one in each car glove box.

Good news... I think.
a couple of weeks ago, I took my BP and it was 140/95
I felt this was a bit high, so I changed my diet again... More fruits, yogurt, cut back on the jelly and ham... Just PB for sandwiches and turkey instead of ham... celery is apparently a must, but It's not a favorite so that I always have it on hand. It's not bad when dipped in the yogurt.

went for my walk tonight, got back, and checked my BP
122/84
pulse 101

15 min later, and with me vaping and playing angry birds as well...
111/70
pulse 93

during the day, when I'm working it's been between 120/82 and 127/87 pulse between 80 and 85 for the past week.
So I guess I won't be asking for any BP meds anytime soon.

And proof that vaping doesn't affect BP as much as people may think it does.

Depends on your condition and how much nic you ingest in your vape.
Vaping in and of itself should have no impact on BP.

I'm not into the "grassy" "flowery" taste of some tobaccos. But, I've mixed up a couple with a lot of other flavors, and they weren't too bad. One is a Deadly Sin clone - RY4, Butterscotch, Cinnamon Danish. It's quite good. I've also seen a recipe with tobacco and peanut butter that sounds delightful as well....
This is pretty good:

Peanut Brittle

6% Ry4 double
6% Tfa peanut butter
1% sweetener

I use a split mix of Capella peanut butter and TFA peanut butter.

Driving all day tomorrow (well, hubby does most of the driving), towing my little van (so I have wheels), up to Lancaster PA (1 overnight, we won't make it all the way tomorrow), to set me up at the Doberman Pincer Nationals. Hubby will leave Sunday for Ohio to do the Golden Retriever National (over 1000 Goldens!!!). These are both usually good shows for us ($$$). I am the only leash vendor at the Dobes, and they like my stuff.We will meet up again on the following Sunday (Dobes takes 2 weekends the the week in between) to continue on to the next show in Howard County, MD.

Took Geordi to his first handling class tonight (preparation and training for the conformation ring to get his breed Championship). He (WE!!) need work, but I went with his breeder and got lots of good info and tips, along with things to work on. Have lots of friends at the Dobes, they will help me with the "exam", where the judge feels the dog and examines him. This includes making sure his parts are there..... OOOO, he needs work in that department... :shock:. I am in no rush to show him, he is going through the lanky, dorky stage, but ring experience is valuable. I have "finished" (earned Championships) on both my Tervs so far, so I know we will earn it, but want to do it better every time. It's been years since I was in the breed ring, and every dog is different. Just keep learning! Keeps me young (as the bones CCCCRRRREEEEAAAAKKK).

Gotta get a good nights sleep, long days ahead. See ya Sunday in the hangout!!! Along with the lanky, dorky boy and the beautiful girly (my avatar).

Sorry legs, but this is even a nicer post. Maybe I should take a hint from Ken and do some diet changes. Each time I donate blood seems my numbers keep going up. Doc's not worried about it, but it seems to be trending up.

Oh wow! You'll be in our neck of the woods. Lancaster's a bit under a 2 hour drive from us.

oh I thought these were the ones from Russia. But did you get those? I can't keep up with what I do, much less all that happens to everyone else :facepalm:
Well these are from Russia but I bought them from a guy in Germany. The ones from Russia my friend has gotten 2 of the packages but the one that had the most in it probably around 2000ml+ has disappeared and he ordered them in April. Germany is the way to go in my opinion at least they show up...Or VZ but they are kinda high on their price but $8 for enough to make 400-500ml still isn't bad.

OK, I'm a little confused on Temp Control. On my Sigelei, I am using a Ni coil in my Herakles and get a great vape at 400° and 35w. I also have an eVic VT with an eGo 1 topper. I have a Ti coil in the eGo 1 and in order to get a halfway decent vape I have to have it set to 500°. Is this typical to have to have the temp set 100° higher for Ti to give a good vape? But again if I have the eGo 1 set to Ni with a Ti coil I get a good vape at 400°. I'm confused.
