Older Folks and Vaping

[bigbells]

Regarding my DIY tobacco jooses, I must say that all three beat the snot out of any of the pre-mixed tobacco jooses I've bought. My best guess is that it's the lack of any sweetening flavor in my own mixes that makes them preferable to me. The slight bitterness is something I find pleasant and very tobacco-like.

Sorry but that's a rip. 20% of what I would have ordered was $5 as my discount. S&H would have been $8 to Louisiana. Caveat emptor!

Welcome PapaC & BAREFOOT OKIE!!! It's great to hear of your success with vaping.

@NGIB....CONGRATS on one year smoke free!!!

@bigbells...congrats on your success with your DIY juices!!

@molli...I'm a newbie at dripping...so take my advice with a grain of salt...but I'm enjoying the Smoktech RDA as an affordable rebuildable dripper. I like the idea of being able to buy a new coil for a couple of bucks OR building my own when I get brave enough.
They have them at litecig Smoktech RDA
I'm sure some of the expert drippers will chime in and offer more good options for you.

Sorry to hear about the arthritis in your fingers Molli. Sure didn't intend to cause a panic attack!

The reason I suggested the RDA is because there are pre-made coils available for cheap for those who don't want to rebuild.

It's all good...was kidding about the panic attack. I don't have a single joint left that doesn't have degenerative arthritis. And most of those they can't replace. I keep threatening to go to the body shop for a new body....

I figured you were kidding about the panic attack (hoped so at least!).

{{{{Molli}}}} I am really sorry to hear about the degenerative arthritis that you're dealing with. That's a heavy burden to bear and just plain sucks.

Eh, no use crying over what you can't change, now is there? I decided long ago to be 'positive'. I also have a disabled daughter who will always live at home, and that's MORE of a challenge, believe me.

Positive review here for Vaping Zone's SC (super-concentrated) Gourmet flavors. I only bought one 10ml bottle and it was $8 plus $4 shipping. But the flavor is good and when they say 1% to 2.5%, they mean it! With such small amounts needed, this flavoring becomes a bargain compared to flavorings that need 10% or more. It's my understanding that these are the same flavorings made by a European company called Baker, but they're much harder to find in the US than in Europe.

On another subject: what I wouldn't give for a reporter who only reported what they knew to be true, regarding the situation near Boston.

 

[bigbells]

Now, they're giving traveling distance, using square miles. How far from point A to point B? One square mile. Duh, what?

"The closing moments" of this five-day drama has been stated every five minutes for the past two hours. Duh!! I have a choice-- one screen does it all. I made my choice.

I wonder if now captured Subject #2 has any cohorts who are not at all happy that he was captured alive. I hope he remains that way, for a while anyway.

He is so young, and was probably terrified s***less. His brother appears to have been much more dedicated to the cause. Let's pray that he talks openly.

WELCOME PAPA & BAREFOOT! This is the BEST THREAD EVAH and the BEST PEEPS!

CONGRATS NGIB on ONE YEAR! Be verah proud as this is no easy feat but a definite chest beater!

Question.... I am still fighting the ashtray mouth and just worn out by it. I ordered 12 new flavs from Vapor Gods, HHV, and Highbrow... and once again the only ones I can "taste" is the peppermint and the Artic Wolf from VG. All the others just all basically taste the same... like "smoke" or a relit ciggy ..... There is a very VAGUE flav in a few, but just YUCK. Is there anything TO DO about this? I am beginning to wonder if because I was a menthol smoker for so long, and now also vape only ice and mint flavs... have I just KILLED the tastebuds permanently? I can taste diff drinks, foods... but not so much w/ vaping juices. Anything not iced or heavy mint is just awful.

FYI ARTIC WOLF from Vapor God. HOLY MOLY. This stuff is like vaping an entire bag of HALLS cough drops. If ever you have a stuffed-up head, this WILL clear it out. STRONG, STRONG.

 

[molli]

Well, that should teach me to keep my mouth shut! I got a lovely bottle of 0 nic juice (you know who you are..lol) its RAWR peach fuzz. Mad the mistake of saying to the daughter who lives with us "You should try this" Next thing I know my 2 cig a likes and a couple of de-fillered cartridges turned dripping atty, AND the peach fuzz are missing. There is the smell of peach fuzz coming from her room! She's never smoked. And the juices with nic she 'sampled' tasted like oil and perfume to her. She's currently perusing AIV and making a list of 0 nic to try when they open.....Not to worry, she won't take up vaping full time. I think right now its 'novel' and will wear off in a day or so.

Oh noooooo!! I've been wondering how you are doing Natasha and whether or not you had gotten your new jooses. I'm shocked you still can't taste any of those! In the beginning I had a really hard time being able to discern any flavors outside menthol also, but once I hadn't smoked a cig in quite a long time it seemed my tastebuds came back to life. The Highbrow flavors though, I was able to taste early on. Boohoooooo!!!!

I really wish I knew what, other than time hopefully, would help. I really hope someone here can suggest something. The good part is that you can put the joose away for a week or a month or whatever and revisit them later...could be very different after some time passes.

I swear, Kat, this is the most irritating damn thing on the planet. And I am sick of EVERYTHING having to be an ice. So I keep trying other flavs... only to go ACK and quickly go back to the ice. Everything else is just gross. I sent UNHOOKED 2 small bags of juices for his donation project he is doing. I've kept maybe 35 or so... but of that 35, there are only about 4-5 that I can vape. It's so frustrating. I got a Blueberry Muffin, a Crackberry, and the Peach and a Cherry, that I can tell would be wonderful to someone who has tastebuds. I'd LOVE to have a banana.. but what's the point. It's been 2 1/2 months since I smoked. I keep playing Scarlett O Hara and thinking "tomorrow", but so far NO TOMORROW! Pffft

How long was "quite a while"?? I can SMELL that Peach... and the Highbrow Dark Cherry. They smell so good. But taste... ACK. *sigh* You'd think if I could SMELL it, I could TASTE it..??!

 

[bigbells]

So what's wrong with liking menthol? I add it to anything that ain't got it.
