Thank you for the advice. We actually have some peppermint oil here from where we were sent an oil instead of water soluble that we ordered. Not sure if it's the right thing or not but it's worth a try.

She was told she would have headaches for 6 months to a year after the brain aneurysm and the good news is they are getting further between and she only has 5 more months before the year mark is up.

I'm sure that would work. The ingredients on mine just say 'Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil', so as long as yours is straight peppermint oil, that would be perfect. Next time you grab stuff from amazon (or big drugstore) definitely pick up some of the Dr. Bronners Magic Peppermint Castile Soap. It works for everything..shampoo, body, cleaning house, etc. Its FABULOUS with just a little bit on hands rubbed into scalp and neck like a really good 'hair wash' on head. Amazing massage, totally relaxing, and you can do that for her and she doesn't need to run and wash it out (doesn't get itchy like reg soap because its not), she can just bliss out with it. My pain levels daily are up around a 7... that horrid nausea pukey trembling kind of pain? And a massage with that soap makes a big difference, so I'm pretty confident it would help her at least a little. If she's like me, she's probably willing to try anything at this point. ;) Good luck! tell her a total stranger is rooting for her to feel better!

Can one of you guys tell me... It says in the 'testing' flavors that its limit 1 per customer, but not sure if that means 1 total of the testing flavors per cust, or if its ok to order a few in testing but only 1 of each flavor. I've got 2 different ones in cart and don't want to take advantage if I'm reading it wrong. Thanks!

It worked like magic! She said she still has a dull headache but nothing she can't handle. Thank you so much!

Whoohoo! Finally got my first order placed! Got the Red Diamond mod (cause its so festive! lol ) to give as gift exchange prezzie for our local december vaping get together. Man... it is gonna suck giving that one away! lol But I'll get one of my own as soon as I can swing it.

At recommendation of you guys here, I'm trying the Twinkie and Red Velvet Cheesecake flavors, plus got a few of the testers that look good. And Bill, I promise I'll write reviews for em. ;) And finally got my chibi tank!

So that's exciting. But would be a little more exciting if i got to keep the gorgeous shiny mod that's gonna show up on my doorstep. rofl Buuuut... in the generous holiday spirit, I'll give it to the lucky duck who ends up with it and cross fingers I can get one soon! ;)


Oooh, just got a killer idea! Just remembered i have some fabulous graphics of pin up girls (clothed, nothing too risque) all dressed up for holidays. I think I'm gonna do something fun with graphics, either a decal on snazzy red body of mod, or maybe skin a carto for it w driptip or something cute. That would be fun for an xmas exchange. And its removable vinyl, so they can just yank it off after xmas. I just got done doing my first 'ego' renovation for my friend. Giving her ego kit, juices, cartos, driptips, whole nine, basically... for xmas so she can get off 30 year smoking habit. And I'm halfway thru another one for another buddy. This is the year of giving pv's to smokers I love for me, basically. ;) So the first one is done, and the rest are in differing stages of completion (still need bling and sealing, basically).

I'm about 1/3 way done with my box. Won't look anything like this when its done, but shows you that skins are possible on boxes, anyway. ;) Rachels detonator.jpg

I'm just using the Papilio brand 'Waterproof removable inkjet vinyl'. Its about $10 for 10 full sized sheets at Amazon. And then you just sorta wrap it like a present. ;) Yell out if you need help, though. I've got some fun graphics worked up, kinda more wild that the ones I showed.... Lucky 13 jeans ad w skull, tribal flames and metal, that sorta thing.

Oh gosh! rofl That's no good! If you can figure out what you'd like, generally, or have a graphic, I'll be happy to print it out in a general square shape on vinyl, mail it to you, and you can sort of measure and cut out the pieces and stick em on there. You can seal it with anything, even clear nail polish or varnish. I just make sure to get the sealer ONLY on the skin, though, so that way there's nothing permanent about it. Its nice and durable, but you can always just poke a hole in it and pull the whole thing off in the future if you want to.

Not 100% sure what you mean about 'top and sides consistent'. I sort of smoothed it out over front of unit (after I'd measured and cut out holes for the parts that needed em, like button. Hm... thats actually gonna be rather elaborate to explain here, and won't make much sense till you're looking at the vinyl. If you can figure out what you'd like to put on there, i'll have some time after this weekend, and I can photo mine from a bunch of angles and show you what i did. But the thing is, the vinyl doesn't have sticky backing... it just sort of clings. So its reposition-able if you start to stick it on there and realize its not gonna work that way. But anyway, if you can sort of think of what you might like on there, and either find a graphic or give me an idea what you want or what kinda stuff you like so i know what to aim for, I'll be glad to help you out and mail you the final piece of vinyl. Then, when you have it in hand, I'll sorta explain how I got it on there. You'll have lots of vinyl left with a whole 8.5x11 sheet, so there will be a little extra for screwups. I'm a photoshop girl, so that's no problem at all. When you have an idea, give me a yell or a pm. ;) Oh, and I'd suggest, just cause it is a little complex to get it around the box part and the back itself, you might want to keep the graphic for that either VERY busy (so you won't notice when the pattern inevitably doesn't match up right against other side) or very simple, so it doesn't matter. Then if you have a photo or cutesy thing you want to put on front (friend of mine is putting Cartman from southpark on his), then you can cut that out separately and stick him right where you want him once the box is all wrapped. Boy, hope that made sense! lol

Oh wow! That's fabulous news! Well if she reacts so well to peppermint, she'll go nutso for that soap. You can get it in HUGE bottles, too. Fun xmas present. ;) I'm so glad that helped! Maybe she can enjoy the holiday, now. Have a great one!

I love this community!! You never know who can help with what. :D
