... my backlog of reading looks pretty large for not keeping up for a day.

Right, and good morning y'all. Gotta go let the Dr skin my nose today...apparently it didn't like all the UV for the past almost 70 years. :facepalm:

SIL sent a funny video, some may have gotten this in the emails circulating...not sure if that's it or if she just stumbled onto it, never the less here it is:





vaping at the Dr.'s office, will be interesting to see how this Dr. feels about it. Got to pick up my vape-mail on the way home.

Ooooh and I see Mike is up and about. Hoping for an update on the new wick/coil :) How's it working?

Hi Kat - the new wick is vaping well. The vapor output is really good. After the 1st tank, the flavor is picking up - but typical of a Vivi Nova, the flavor is still muted. It would be great if I could figure out how to increase the flavor.

I'm with ya Deb, gentle hugs. I get mad at myself for being such a hermit sometime, but with you guys I have all the friendship I need. I never was big on socializing except with good friends anyway.

Kat asked about what we vape during the day. Hmm, hard one. If I vape anything too long I tend to stop tasting it so I switch off a lot throughout the day. Since I DIY mostly it could be about anything except straight tobacco. I almost always have at least a little of Aroma's P-38 menthol (with WTA's) cuz I LOVE it and need it, one of my "fruit ices" a fruit with a bit of added menthol or koolada for the cooling effect, something sweet like a dessert vape, and something off beat to challenge my tastebuds that I only mix a tiny bit of like tonight my honey licorice cough "drip" which was actually really good, just like Ludens. Night before I made an herb tea with green tea, lemon, ginseng, hibiscus, and ran out of room and had to use a little bottle, but it was also tasty after adding honey a couple drops of peach...or apricot one or the other! I love to play around! In the beginning I was so gung ho to find my "daily vape", now I don't think that will ever happen. Since I'm home 98% off the time I always have access to my flavors, but when I do go out, I have to actually choose! It is hilarious when I go to my son's house to visit with the kids for a week or 2, most of my baggage is my mixing stuff...gotta take most of it cuz my son loves me to mix for him too! It's fun and addictive, but sure beats the old addiction eh?

Wow, you're a DIY Master! Are you a good cook too?

CharlieGirl it sure sounds like DIY is perfect for you. I'm so glad you enjoy it and have fun with it. I'm just beginning to do some DIY - I hope I do as well as you :)

Janet, that is what happened to me too! I will love a flavor, and then one day...YUCK! I only have one flavor that I loved so much that the 4th time I bought it, I went ahead and bought the 60 mL. Half way through my 60 mL, the yuck hit :( I had thought that was "the one" for me...

I'm hoping my vivi nova's will get here today. Usually the usps site shows an estimated delivery date, but on that package it doesn't. And didn't on the one with my VTube either. Weirdness. I was pretty surprised when the VTube showed up yesterday, especially since it came all the way from CA. The vivi's are only coming from TX and ordered at the same time.

Well, I better go so what kind of trouble I can get myself into before work.

Have a great day everyone!!

Ugh, it's not good when the yuck hits in the middle of 60 ml!! Good thing you're not afraid to do a little mixing. Maybe we're the kind of people who will never have 1 main flavor. Maybe we need to have a few flavors going during the day. I find that after vaping one flavor for awhile I don't taste it anymore so switching between them helps a lot.

What's up with USPS? I mailed a package the other day and an expected delivery date didn't come up either. The lady at the post office said that was strange so it didn't just happen where you are. I wonder if vendors are finding that to be a problem as well. That's not good for those of us who like to camp out at the mailbox.

    That's my big trouble with the Nova. I like my flavors and I don't like them muted.

    I figured why not? I had a ice ice flavor I had purchased before I got the diy bug and it tasted like listerine, I added some vinegar (quite a bit) and now it don't have the antiseptic taste, don't taste like vinegar and it thined the juice some. I use 50/50 juice so the thining was a good thing, still produces nice vapor, it is a strong menthol and I get some throat hit. I have 5 30ml bottles of this so REALLY HAPPY I can now use it.

    GV got the clear COLOR tubes for the vivi nova :) I got a PURPLE one coming my way :D

    purpleeeeeeeeeee I just got my taffy in the mail yesterday. Oh, and they threw in a vivi nova. Now I need clear purply tubes. :) Haven't tried the metal tubes but they sure are purdy. But I get a lot of metallic taste as it is from many things from so many fillings etc, so don't think I could handle a metal tube.

    Right, and good morning y'all. Gotta go let the Dr skin my nose today...apparently it didn't like all the UV for the past almost 70 years. :facepalm:

    SIL sent a funny video, some may have gotten this in the emails circulating...not sure if that's it or if she just stumbled onto it, never the less here it is:

    Yipes......hope they get that all taken care of hun!! I know it's not always as big a deal as it used to be, but it can be, so I hope it went well for ya. That vid was hilarious!!

    I figured why not? I had a ice ice flavor I had purchased before I got the diy bug and it tasted like listerine, I added some vinegar (quite a bit) and now it don't have the antiseptic taste, don't taste like vinegar and it thined the juice some.

    Glad you can use it now!! Was it vapedudes? (unless ya don't wanna say). I tried a 10 ml of theirs my SIL bought, and it's the one that I love, just too pricey. But I haven't found any others I love that much. The one she got is very strong, but still sweet.

    Well crap cause I got a couple metal tubes coming. :(

    cuz you'd rather have plastic, or cuz of what I said.......cuz I've never tried a metal tube, just sayin a lot of things give me a metal taste so I don't wanna try one. If that's not what you were referring to........then nevermind!! :laugh:

    I vape a couple of my VN's w/ a metal tube. I don't taste the metal, like the way they look but prefer the smoked ones 'cause I can see the juice level and particularly for the short wicked heads that's a plus.

    Glad you liked the video...I about split my side laughing and relatin' to much of it. Dr. took 3 layers of skin to get all the Basel cells (I think that's the way it's spelled) and a layer from another area of the nose and grafted it back there. Now my nose feels like it's got a headache. :lol:

    On the lighter side...Vape mail had some Dekang Desert Ship from YV and some USA mix from GP. Forgot how much I like the Desert Ship, doesn't seem to be as sweet as it useta be.

    I had the same issue with checking the Tracking with USPS, strange...got another package due (tomorrow I hope) tracking says it arrived at SA before the one I received today. They both had expected delivery for today. IDK, something aint right with that ship...must be taking on too much water. :lol:

    As long as it didn't go to Guam first from up yonder, guess I should celebrate that. :)

    well at least basal cell carcinoma is the most common and usually the least to worry about, but still ouchy....sorry you had to go through that hun!

    I had the issue with the tracking also, but this package from GV got to me quicker than any others have.

    Showed my son the video too. Wasn't as fond of the last part, but the walmart and Dr office had me rollin!
