Been busy for a bit and boy was there a lot of catching up to do!

Wenda and NG, you are too funny. Poor Semi. I guess it's a good thing that you've got 2 hands. You can still vape with the unsmashed one.

Congrats Jewels! Wow, a whole year! What a milestone! You must be so proud!!

, Well since 5pm PDT yesterday may/7 I have had 3 analogs and the rest of the time vaping.
Today will be good and tomorrow better.

Good for you!! Really! A friend has started vaping and would like to stop the analogs but can't seem to do it - yet. I spent some time explaining to her that she shouldn't set herself up for failure by trying to pick a day with or without stress or visitors or having to go out and buy some milk or whatever. Any lessening of the analogs is a good thing. At some point the time will be right. Sounds like you're getting very close, but it's not a race. I think for some people all the pieces have to fall into place and then TA DA! And the next thing you know you'll be celebrating your 1 year anniversary!!!

I guess I could go out in my dungarees

LMFAO, sorry... Sunday we were discussin'' some o' da ol' times down at da 'office' (local boat ramp) when one of ol' farts mentioned dungarees... A young buck started laughing until we told him that he was wearing a pair (BTW, Wrangler)!

... but I do not know enough about the electronics side to get that part the way I would want and I do not want a plastic box...

There's some excellent tutorials out & about. I spent over 42 years in military/industrial 'tronics/'puters and would be glad to help if ya run into difficulties!

ROFL!!!

Are there people who run around the country and take these pictures for Walmart? I've been in Walmarts and never see these people. I'm VERY glad, but I still wonder.

Actually.....I think I have seen a couple of them......LOL. I'm not a Walmart fan just because of what they have done to small business in a lot of places, as well the way they treat their employees sometimes.......but I have to admit that when I had an RV, I spent several nights in their parking lots. Never set up the BBQ grill in the parking lot though.....I'm the one who was always parked in the far corner near the grass so I could walk the dogs.

I have looked at it - several times, but it still has the fat batts... I like the 14500 form size - do not know why, but it is the largest batt I would want - well maybe a 16??? would be okay. Everyone has gone to the fat 18650 batts and I still want pocket size... I guess I could go out in my dungarees - they have large pockets, but I do not think my wife would agree...

I got one of the VV box mods from Madvapes a few months ago. It has worked great from day one with not one problem. Uses 2-14500 batteries and is smaller than a pack of cigarettes. Slips right into a shirt pocket, even rides alright in a tee shirt pocket and really puts out the power. Adjustable from 3.2 to 7.0 Volts. I run my about 4.2 most of the time on my tobacco juices and it's great. Just a suggestion as you can get into variable volt for about $35.

Anyone hear from Tx today, I didn't spot any posts from him today in the thread, hope he's doing alright.

Howdy everyone and thanks for your continued prayers and support because they have helped. It was a pretty rough long night and day but my mom went to be with her Lord at 6;30 this afternoon. She wasn't in any pain but it was a struggle for her to let go. Her Spirit was willing but her flesh was in survival mode so she hung on for longer than they expected. She really is the toughest individual I have ever met and had to be to survive everything she has been through in her life. She is a very strong Christian Lady and very well liked in her community. I have never known of a negative word to ever have been spoken about her. She has been such a positive influence to my whole extended family and we will definately miss her but her influence will be felt for generations to come. She never gained much financially in this world, in fact was pretty poor for most of her life but her riches were in her family and the love she shared with everyone was truly amazing. She is receiving her rewards tonight and I'm sure there is quite a party going on in Heaven as she receives some jewels in her crown!`
Thanks again everyone for your support!

Tx
Glad all is well.
Take care of you.
You and your family will remain in my prayers.

So beautiful, your tribute to your Mom. I can just feel the Love she exuded through you.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

My condolences Tx.
One can read how much she was loved by you and your loved ones.
Not only were you a part of her life but also with her as she moved on to heavens.
That is something that will stay for you forever untl you meet again.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Ron

I know in my heart and soul that the second we take our final breath in this world we go home to our eternal life. Thank you for sharing the story of the remarkable life your dear mother had here on earth. You have some wonderful memories to sustain you until you see her again. Take care and know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I have one 18650 mod - more of a dust collector... To big to carry in a pocket and I am always on the move. My Ego's and my Volts are easy to carry around. When XMas gets here or when I hit one year I plan on upgrading, but I want something around the 14500 size - like the Provape 1, but it is not variable and it does not have a control on the voltage. I want one or the other or both if I can find it. I want interchangeable batts, but not give up the size factor...

Have you considered the SmokBox from SmokTek? I'm in love with it! Lightweight, uses two 14500 batteries, tiny box mod with a horn button in the middle, variable voltage, easy to hold.

RVers...

This is the forum I use for all my RV knowledge. I have never seen an argument on it - not saying there are not any - the people are real helpful - some times to technical, but real helpful...

iRV2 - RV Forum Community

I feel like a voyeur. There's really an RV community? I guess that's as logical as a vaping community:

... I peeked in and found this:

Speaking of snakes -- For 10 years prior to retiring a year ago my job was to be personal assistant/house manager/monkey nanny for a busy female executive at her 6,000 sq ft home. I know, because of the skin that the exterminator found, that there is a 6' non-venomous snake living in one of the attics.

I never told her about it because I checked to make sure the attic was sealed from the inside of the house as long as the door is kept closed and it eats any mice that we have seen evidence of up there. I was afraid she would over-react and want it removed and chances are good that it comes and goes thru some attic to outside access point.

Anyone think I should tell her about it now that I'm no longer there? I left on good terms and we have remained friends. Her monkey passed away before I retired so she now only has a part-time person doing my previous job as well as preparing her meals. So telling the new person really isn't the answer.

If you had a snake in your attic would you want to know, or would it be easier to sleep without that knowledge?

We have a few fishermen in the group. Hey - they have fish too in Oklahoma? I thought they only had dust? I used to go to Oak City 3 or 4 times a year during my military days - great area - except when the weather acts up....

I live in Southwest Oklahoma just South of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, so we are just a few miles away from over 30 lakes. My wife and I go fishing together and we usually throw back what we catch. We mainly just go to relax and love to watch wildlife. Here, we get to watch buffalo, longhorn, deer, elk, and a variety of smaller animals anytime we want to. I usually carry a fully charged EGO with an EMDCC on the end of a lanyard, and I'm good for the day. I keep spares in the glove-box.

So...I tried a new thing. I cleaned my Stardusts, and a couple of Phoenix XLs, using a friend's ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Just used plain water.....and then changed water for rinse cycle......worked like a charm!! They came out all sparkly and clean, and worked like brand new. Ordered one from Amazon today. Some people use white vinegar first, then water....but just plain water worked great for me. Ordered one that also has room for my glasses, DVDs, and my roommate's dentures...LOL.

Anyone else tried this method?

Yer roommate's dentures? Bahahahahahaha

I'm back for another infrequent visit. I haven't caught up in the forum yet.

I feel for you man. I went thru similar with my mom several years ago,8 months bedridden at my sister's home with the last month incoherent and Hospice assisting.

Thanks for the help, by upping my nic level I had my last cig on April 24th.

I received my latest and greatest order last Friday, a Kgo kit and some Ego Vision Clearomizers. I am in vaping heaven now, no more constantly charging those dang little batteries and the flavors are much better also.

Hey Richard, it's almost impossible for me to keep caught up here, so I just drop in where I can. I am sorry about your mom; that's really tough, what you are going through with her.

I've thought about bringing my camera to Walmart, but I never see anything as good as those pictures! Anyone can submit photos.

I admitted to my friend Crystal that I like reading People of Walmart.com, and she said "Me too, I check it to see if there's anybody I know....."

Gadd, I heard that the VV box mod from MadVapes gets really warm. Not true? The one from Smoktek has "VariCool technology", whatever that is.

Tex, that was a beautiful thing to say. My deepest condolences to you and yours.
