Older Folks and Vaping

[NatashaR]

Just sitting here thinking about how great it is to never feel the need to buy cigarettes again and how neat it is that I can come here any time and chat with my favorite peeps in this thread that TX started.

{{{{{TX}}}}} Thinking of you and praying you'll have a good day.

So.....let's hear what you're using to keep YOU off of cigs TODAY!!! I'll start off....

altcig Churro in a CE3 on a blue 1300 mah Spinner
DIY strawberry shortcake in a rewicked Kanger T3 on a pink 1000 mah Twist
vaporbeast free sample of Cool Beans in a purple Evod on a purple 1300 mah Spinner
ahlusion Banana Foster in an Innokin dual coil clearo on a blue 1000 mah Twist
backwoodsbrew peach (PIF from friend) in a Smoktech rda on a black version 1 Lavatube

Looking forward to see what everybody is vaping on today.

LOL! I drove by my old haunt... the Smoker's Outlet today... and thought HA! G-BYE! Great feeling, as the cigs I was smoking were up to $70 a carton. Nevah again. Not that I have saved any $ yet, but it's nice to spend it on e-cigs vs analogs, IMHO.

I received several of the Mt Vapor Bakers fruity ice flavs today... so today is Black Ice, Blue Ice, Yellow Ice and Purple Ice. I still have an ICE affliction, as if there is not some ice in it, I get no flavor whatsoever. But at least now my ice has some hints of fruits in it that I can somewhat taste.

Finally broke down and ordered some tanks & batts, so I am HOPING once those arrive, my new MVB flavs will be even better.

Spent morning being techy-nana praying " Please Lord help me" and he did "Thank you Jesus." set up new wireless modem. Linked to both laptops, linked wireless printer and 5 new colored inks.
If I had some crazy 45mg right now I would be in a comma. I had the modem for 3 months and just dreaded setting it up but the other one died this morning. Same with printer ink.
Electronic Angel IBT tank with DYI Chocmint
Blue MVP with a iclear and AIV Pun'kin Tumble
Silver Provari with iclear and AIV and Cupcake City.

Vapemail in the pipeline new IBT tank, 75 Boge Carto"s, And Aunt Lydia's Bamboo.

Good for you! I am still in techno hell. Bought a new little ultrabook thingy that has WIN8, so had to buy a new wireless printer. The new printer likes the new ultrabook, but not the desktop and other 2 laptops running Win7. So now the battle is on w/ the old machines this weekend, because ATM they won't print to squat.

Someday, somehow, all the technology in this house is going to have to learn to get along. Or be run over in the driveway.

That is not encouraging!!!

No, it is not encouraging one iota, and has me feeling a bit panicky here. I'm trying to amass as much as I can, but I can only do what is feasible right now. I pray we have a lot more time!

@Gracie
What kind of problem are you having with the Ikenvape tank? Is it flooding or is the carto not getting enough liquid? Is this your first time using a tank? I'm sure somebody here can give you some tips to get it working.

Gloria, the carto itself seems moist, but the drags are horrific. It's as if I'm inhaling a dry carto; burnt as can be. I've pulled on it without activating to make sure there is enough fluid in the carto, but to no avail. Bubbles came up, but still, no dice.

Yes, this is my first tank, and I wanted it to work so badly so that I could stock up! I've watched many YouTube videos and It seems that I'm doing everything correctly, but I guess it's that one thing I don't know about that's causing the problem.

 

[FranC]

Silly question Gracie but are you using a punched or slotted carto??

Two-hole punched, Fran!

 

[FranC]

OK did you give it time to soak in?

If by chance / accident you took the 1st vape and the carto wasn't wet and you burned the filler - you'll never get rid of the bad taste. Once burnt that filler ruins any further use of it.

I pre-fill my carto's with a syringe. Put a 'ml' of juice in the syringe the push the syringe down the inside of the carto between the stuffing and the inner wall of the carto. Squeeze some juice in the move the syringe to the 'other side' and do it again. I do this with the carto in the tank because some juice will come out of the holes/slots. Then I fill the tank and leave it all sit for 5-10 minutes before vaping with it. There are other ways - but you need to make sure the carto is 'primed' before taking the 1st vape.

Oh yes! LOL It's been sitting on my desk for about a week now.

This very well may be the issue Mike, since it's been sitting for awhile......so now, I'll just empty the tank and start over.

Feeling like such a dummy because I can't get the cap off! If I lose the juice no big deal....just want to start over.

 

[FranC]

What kind of tank are you using?

 

[MikeE3]

Well, if you can push the carto in a bit - then use a syringe to pull out as much juice as you can. Then take the carto out and run the tank under hot water. Then try again to remove the ends. Sort of like running a jelly jar under hot water to get the lid off.

Is your e liquid a 100% VG by chance?

Be verry verry quiet. We are hunting zaps..............

You're too funny Fran. Glad it seems to be behaving at the moment. Hope it's becoming your friend and doesn't throw any more tantrums!

 

[Ken_A]

Vapemail today. Got in my other two Vapeonly BCCs a black one with a dark tank and a black one with a clear tank.

 

[FranC]

Thanks Janet. Don't know if it will ever be my friend but it's still working. Says verry quietly....................
