Older Folks and Vaping

[Janet H]

Well I am still debating the T3 - but considering that I was not sure about the Vivi Nova at first and as of right now it is my favorite I think I have to give the T3 a little more time. When I first used it I made a real mess Since I have been having some small leaking from the CE4s - after I vaped with the T3 a few times (so it was full) I went to check if it was leaking on the battery and ended up unscrewing the tank and dumped all the juice all over my keyboard Fortunately I had another keyboard and my wonderful son - took it home and cleaned it all up for me.

After cleaning up the mess - I re-filled it - but it was gurgling and leaking everywhere. So I emptied it - washed it out and let it dry overnight. I have vaped one full tank since and it didn't leak at all. I did find that when it got below the 1 ml mark - I was getting some gurgling. I think that I did read somewhere that if you keep them filled above the 1ml then they don't gurgle So I guess they would work if being used with a favorite juice that you are ok re-filling before it gets to the 1 ml.

I am looking forward to getting the Mini Vivi Nova - I hope I like it as much as the bigger one. I just don't feel comfortable using it when I go out - it just looks so big on my little 650 mAh Twist that I perfer when I am out. I am sure I will get over this too eventually.

So - here I am - thinking ok I am pretty happy with the T2 and the Vivi Nova. Still debating the T3 and have a Mini Vivi Nova on the way. So I should be good and not have to order anything for a while I did put myself on restriction before Christmas and I was good - just rewarded myself for being 6 weeks not smoking

Now here you all go talking about Spitfires I think I have to just ignore this - yup don't go looking at what these are - just forget I even heard about something called Spitfire.... I can do this.... I can do this....

You know how we always tell everyone to count the cigarettes you HAVEN'T smoked? Maybe you should count the money you HAVEN'T spent. You haven't sprung for the Provari's or Evics etc. and you've saved $676.62 so you're doing great! Now some would consider this a good excuse for going on a spending spree, but others see this as success on top of success! And I'm not telling you which category Mike and I fall into!

shew! Hey we're not that far from each other, maybe we could start a support group for PV addiction. Maybe we could get Tex to tell us how he doesn't resist buying yet another PV. (sorry Tex, couldn't resist the jab).

No ... no... I won't look 8-o ok I looked but I am not going to buy I think I can resist until I get my order from last week. Sure would be nice if the tracking didn't stop at the border but I guess it will be a nice surprise when it shows up in my mailbox.

Janet - I have to agree that so far I am doing pretty good on the spending part. I know that I am actually ahead of what I would have spent if I was still smoking. A lot of that is because of all the help I got from reading thru this thread so I was able to move up to something that is working really well for me. I am also one of those people that has to use something until it is done or doesn't work anymore.

Must be my upbringing by parents that lived thru the depression. My kids always hated that I made them squeeze the toothpaste, roll the tube and get the last drop out. I think the worst was the clothes dryer, had to use empty laundry baskets to hold the door shut and set a timer - cause it wouldn't auto shut off. Finally replaced it when it just wouldn't heat up anymore. Not "cheap" just very frugal

I figure I can always justify a purchase - as long as it fits in what I would have already spent if smoking. However, I am definitely beginning to see that hanging out here could be very bad for my bank account. So if I every decide I want a Provari - I will have to hide out and stay away from here for couple of weeks Now that would definitely be hard to do

Alright Fran you can join the PV anonymous self-help group too - seems you qualify.

ha, ha! I can relate to that. My Dad was so cheap err-umm frugal, he wouldn't even buy wall paper paste. He'd make his own with water and flour, didn't understand needing a phone in the house when there was a pay phone next door if you had to make a call, re-sharpened his double-edged razor blades, and I could go on. I'll blame him on my deprived childhood w/ respect to my indulgence in PV's.

Ah Kari you're singing my tune. Practical may be satisfying, but it's not much fun.

OK, for all you Neanderthals and Neanderettes that still use XL tanks, here's a really good deal on some XL TANKS W/CARTO (5ml). With my reward points, I ordered 5 of 'em for under $6 each!

Hey, I tried to warn ya'll...

That is a good bargain, butI'm well stocked with cartos and tanks. No more goodies until I clean
out my shave den, it's literally bursting at the seams.

 

[Constance Shutts]

Same here.Tempting on those tanks, but I'm stocked up for awhile

Iffy, I've never seen you being politically correct before - you're helping spread the wealth from the vaper's to the vendors'.

Although I really want a tank system (or 2/3?) I just bought an eGo twist for me and my wife and an eGo kit for a friend so there will be no spending for a while. Maybe I should stop buying for others so I can fuel my own hobby!

Oh, the twists are in my town so I should get them today!

 

[Constance Shutts]

"Gloria" I happen to like crab...but can't envision it in a vape But I do have 30 ml of an e-juice called "Black tea" from Mt Baker Vapor,(The free 15 ml x 2) just go read the reviews on that one...soooooo beware..... Trying to think up something to add to it when I have the courage to try it. It's been steeping over a month now.

I just read those reviews for the "Black Tea". Eeewww. Maybe some mint would overpower it? Dunno...it may be unsalvageable.

If you haven't already seen this crab juice review, it's a must see. Especially between about the 7 minute and 8:30 minute part. I can't watch that without crackin up.

 

[Ken62]

YAY! I got my stuffs todayfrom High Desert Vapes. I just love the Twist, gives my flavors whole new meaning!!

There is some bad news too Along with the order came a sample of Cucumber Mint. I put some in a clearo and it tastes horrible! I can't get it off my taste buds, can't get the smell out of my office and can't get the taste out of my clearo! YIKES! Even brushed my teeth, washed my hands and the clearo.....

Any ideas, or are my taste buds and clearo toast?

I use boiling water with a few drops of lemon juice for situations like these. Sometimes it works, it is always worth a try before throwing away a new clearo
