You can read that - wow - I need to get my bifocals checked...
Yeah - just got my bifocal scrip upped in January - I feel ya! Next is...gulp...trifocals - and I'm not even 40 yet!
Wow anyone watching the Masters? What an exciting match!
I usually compare golf on TV to pain drying or flies being naughty, lol!
Sandy, I am not good at religion. All religions. So please, folks, don't take offense or defense. Please, folks. Would you explain seder to me? I mean, what it is and its purpose. I am not being a jerk here. I am not familiar with that term and I am truly interested.
Bluesman!
As we say about most Jewish holidays: "They tried to kill us. We won. Let's
eat."
Fabulous explanation Sandy!

Rave, you are many things to me, but you are not a "I vape to save money" kind of person to me. This, by the way, is true of others in this fine group of individuals. And I find it an admirable quality.
I decided to vape to save money, but so far, erm yeah...not! Probably spent 40-50 more each month (so like 110-120) in march and already in april! At least now I'm set up, and I don't plan on changing anything drastic so I can go with cheapie joye510 stuff up to a tank if I want (I'd just have to get the tank atty and some cheapo tanks. And other than trying to convince Don to let me buy a 60 ml bottle of Malty Toffee. The limit is two bottles up to 30 ml each, or one 60 - but I could only afford the 15 ml when I ordered so I'm hoping...I think I've mentioned the stuff enough (I'm actually Jonesing for it) that he might let me. Then I have to get Colin to let me spend another $35 (I can do that
)
Thanks for the welcome! I'm kitty sittin' my cousin's cats this week, so everything I've done lately, I've had cats on the brain. Took the much larger version of this grumpy kitty as a fun change to my fb profile pic; figured it would do nicely here as well.
We have 7 cats inside and we have an outside kitty with only one eye and a broken canine that we take care of that's an outside kitty - we named him Scooter. We also have food out and a bird bath so we get Larry (black kitty), Boo-Boo (cause his hair is always patchy and he rasps), and the newest is Arabella who we think is lost so we'll be putting up ads and notices about her. She's a long haired tortie with a *very* identifiable orange right from paw, so if someone calls about her (we think it's a her) then we can ask for identifying marks, etc. So we feed between 8-11 regularly with a few visits from some local indoor/outdoor neighbor cats.

I haven't been vaping long. Quit smoking several times over the last 45 years. Trouble was, I just flat enjoyed smoking, so it made it hard to give it up for long. I'd quit because I knew I should (and once when I had pneumonia), but not because I just hated cigarettes and everything about them. I'm really loving vaping, though! Haven't totally gotten off analogs, but wow (!!), have I cut down on 'em.
I'm 10 weeks today (well Sunday) - technically I guess it's now 10 weeks and a day, lol! Isn't it great? As soon as you find your "it" flavor - you'll ditch the analogs for good. There's one for everyone - just have to find it. For me it was a peppermint menthol and black licorice!

I'm still trying to figure out just what I like and don't like. Like Bluesman, I lean toward KISS. That may change at some point, but right now, it's complicated enough just trying to figure out what flavors I want to try and keeping up with all the bits of paraphernalia I've accumulated ... even while trying to keep it simple! LOL A PT and plug in for the car, a PT and plug in for my desk (no, I don't plug it in to my puter. No chance I'm risking this thing just to power a PT), batts and chargers, and flavors and how many of this and that etc etc etc.
I keep my extra bottles in a big open vase I got in Sweden. There was a big sale from a vendor for $.99 per 10ml bottle (Good Prophets) that a bunch of us dove on a couple weeks ago and I ordered 40 bottles and tossed the extras into the vase (along with all my other liquids not steeping) - it's perfect because it's mostly clear so I can just pick it up and turn it around and find anything I want. For smaller stuff (and if you don't mind it not closing) I like the craft boxes that used to be only known as "floss boxes" like you'd put carded embroidery floss in. I can keep a bottle and its current atty/cart/carto in each cubby. The bigger bottles are on this old silver oblong serving tray I have that's about 4x10 in size, and I put the bottles into small boxes to contain them, and set them on the tray. Little stuff like spare parts, old batts, old carts/cartos, condoms, etc. in the bigger space in the floss organizer. I actually like having it with the lid off because I can see quickly what's what and what I've been using with it!

Oddly, I thought I'd really like coffee flavors, but so far ... no so much. I'm working up my nerve to try some of the sweeter things. Not banana. I don't like bananas by themselves or in anything, actually. I got a sample of tequila flavor that sort of intrigues me, though!
To tell the truth, so far my favorite flavor is Nuport. I didn't order it; V4L sent it to me as a sample. I never smoked a Nuport cig ever; didn't smoke menthols either. But I really like the flavor in the vape. I also liked the Dunhall they sent.
The coffee flavors really need to steep - sometimes they even need a decanting (lid offf) as they steep. There was a vanilla latte flavor that I got that I nearly choked on when I first tried it - 3 weeks later I was in love with it! So keep your flavors around and keep trying to steep (you can even try a warm water bath) or decant any flavors you think you hate for at least 6 weeks. If you don't like it by then? Put it up for trade
You'll find that your taste buds are waking up (could be why you suddenly actually like a menthol flavor). There are some great fruit flavors out there - one of my favs is blueberry. I'm careful to read reviews on flavors to see if people think they taste like the fruit, and not a candy fruit or even (you'll hit one of these at some point) even soapy or perfumey fruit flavor - ick! I obviously made that mistake which is why I read now, lol!

Anyway, I was delighted to find so many other vapers who aren't spring chickens anymore! My stars and bars ... what a long thread! I finally gave up and started skipping pages. LOL I'm sure I'll be hanging out here on a regular basis. You seem like a really great group of folks!
I started skipping over posts of the people I hadn't gotten to know at least a little bit here - many people posted once and never came back so I skimmed. I'm still only on page 15, and as I said before, I came in around 110-ish, lol!
(wow, I multiquoted across 4 pages and even got a quote inside a quote - woohoo!!!!!
)
