PDIB's Making MODs!

[glassgal]

I believe our not-so-anonymous friend was trying to do me a favor.

(something about getting me some salt and pepper for my shoe soup.)

Far as I know... this is your supplier thread, and you can sell stuff on it if you want to... however you want to sell it.

So if you want to auction it, do it publicly and we can see who has the $$.

I bought 2 woodvil, GP Spheroid, 3 mods, joined and paid for 3 coops, a couple dozen less expensive atomizers looking for a bottom feeder I like, and 8 18650 batteries in the last month. And still have to have money to pay for my dibi that made it into this round. This wouldn't be so painful in another month or so, but I'm hurting atm.

I'd start the auction at $300 for a collector item, and see who will go up from there (price + collector value). Other thought is put it on Ebay with a $330 reserve (to cover your Ebay fees) and let people fight over it. If they don't come up to your reserve price, they can't have it, and you can rerun the auction later.

Thing here is, you haven't been doing this long enough to ESTABLISH the value of the first few.... ie., if you decide at mod 80 that you just don't want to make mods anymore... all mods from #2-80 will have roughly the same value as collectibles. There aren't any more. If you have made and sold 1000 mods however... #2 will have more value as the one of the first. See?

If you need the cash, and there are people here with more money than time (not sure about on this sub-forum tho), set the price at $600 (or whatever you think you would like), and see if anyone pms you. I got into an argument on the General Forum about Provari, and how silly it was for people to call Provari so 'elitist' when it's only $159 for the base model and many mods cost more, and I posted a link of an Otto Carver on Vaperev for $3000, to illustrate expensive. 5 MINUTES later someone bought it. That mod sat on the site for MONTHS and no one bought it... but boom, gone, just like that. If someone who's been lurking but doesn't post has the money, the ability to leap over a 5 month waiting list to get mod #2 should be a no-brainer.

Is $600 worth 4 months of your time to get the first actual mod made (001 was the prototype)? PM Pdib and show him the money. That's only the price for 2 mods, so it's very reasonable. Of course, if you're loaded, and want to help him buy more equipment so he can make more mods faster for us, offer MORE.

Personally think you deserve to keep it. At least hold onto it for a few months before deciding.

Or if you must give it up, maybe a raffle/charity type thing? Pretty sure that mod could bring in some bucks and could do some good. Just my thoughts on it... It's beautiful and I send you payment today if you need it gone lol

Skin absorption has everything to do with the size of the molecule. Our skin is designed to keep out large molecules like bacteria, but allows smaller molecules to pass. Also, you can get slightly larger molecules through by using a transdermal carrier molecule. Nicotine is a VERY small molecule. That's why nicotine patches can kill and have killed people, which is why they are prescription.

Anti aging creams don't work because all you can do is moisturize and plump up cells... your cells still don't replace themselves as fast as when young. You can't fix that any better than turning a rusted piece of metal into factory new by putting anti-oxidant on it.

I just told that to HRH and she hit me!

Knocked a few molecules off me she did!

They are prescription so BP can get their cut! People have died from alcohol for years and anything else you can think of for that matter.

Some kid died from covering themselves with nicotine patches is what I heard.

Alcohol poisoning death is doable, but not easy... happens about as often as dying from drinking too much water, which happens too. Cigs are legal because while you could die of nic poisoning smoking, it's very hard to do. It doesn't take long to slap a box of patches on yourself...

I first heard of vaping end Sept 2013. ........ I still take the occasional drag off my husband's cigs (he still smokes)......

Sorry to say I am afraid I would not be able to take that 1 drag without starting it all over again. Even when I started vaping and had quit the cigarettes, I had to get over that calm feeling that vaping just doesn't give me which comes mostly from the Monoamine oxidase inhibitors in tobacco. I tried Whole Tobacco Alkoloid juice in an attempt to get that feeling shortly after I quit, but it just left me wanting a cigarette even more so I stopped that experiment real quick. Still have trouble with that now and again so I "vape like I stole it" till I get over it. It has been a while now, but I am feeling that way today so the clouds are rolling in the basement while I work on prints. I currently use about 18mg in my ADV, but might go to the freezer and get the lock box out and mix up a little 36mg/ml for the rest of today.

I have "quit" numerous times in over 30 years of smoking. Each time it was a very stressful event that made me think "I'll just bum one cigarette from a friend". Best intentions turned to ""I'll just bum one more" and so on till "I had ought to buy a pack so my friends don't get upset" then "Well, buying a carton is cheaper per pack". Chantix was a real treat that made me feel like someone had put my head in a vise so I dumped it after a week cause I just felt like killing myself instead of enduring that. (and from what I know now, some people do just that)

Sorry for the off topic post, but it is therapy for me.

if you smoke you will not die from nic patches because you have developed a tolerance to nic.

i suspect it's a more fictional account of a murder on film. Would It Be Fatal if Someone Covered Their Body with Nicotine Patches Like in

Just to clarify things on the button.

I have this small quantity of "silver coated BeCu springs". They are of a heavier gauge and require custom sizing and shaping to fit your particular battery and desired throw. If anyone wants one included included with their mod (i.e. if anyone actually intends to modify their button spring similar to what turbocad did), please indicate so, and I will include with shipped mod. (or will send out for those who already have a mod). I have a limited quantity. I'll look for more; but i don't just want to send them out all willy nilly. I'd rather just send them to those that will use them, and more efficiently apply the limited resources I have. (As to whether I'll ask a few bucks . . . yeah, I guess so. They weren't cheap.)

The standard springs I have work great for trouble-free, no fuss vaping until you get into the deep subΩs. Where to draw the line? IDK, that's subjective . . ..~.5Ω? ~.8Ω? Safe to say, if you're vaping above 1Ω, it's really not an issue.

i have 18 reds by my desk where they have sat since i quit. HRH once had a puff of her spare Indonesian licorice ciggie (and i can see why i'd hate that and why she did too), but i know i cannot touch mine because i used to smoke 3 of them in 10 minutes.

i don't care for the smell of them anymore, but then i vape to not smoke - not to quit nicotine. The quit or die nonsense will not work for me. Never did.
18mg liquid now, and quite happy.

Uh... Patients warned about patch dangers as hot bath causes fatal overdose | Metro News

This wasn't nicotine, but would act the same way.. nicotine can cause heart problems, so can stop your heart. I didn't actually see an example of this. I think maybe because as a plant alkaloid, it will leave the body within 4 hours, and you would pass out before you could SMOKE a lethal dose? Patches would keep acting whether you were conscious or not, which is why I think they are made time released. But even your link agrees, given enough patches, it can kill you. But then anything can kill you if you try hard enough.

I first saw e-cigs back around 2004-2006 when a friend showed it to me. It was given by his parents in an effort to make him quit smoking. I thought the little cigarette lookalike was rather lame, glowing LED and all.

When I was a kid, I was an avid boy scout and enjoyed hiking up mountain trails a lot. When I changed jobs in 2011, several of my co-workers happened to be mountaineers and invited me over several camping trips out in the mountains. I of course jumped on the opportunity given how much I loved doing that as a kid. My first hike really opened my eyes on how bad my lung capacity has become due to smoking as I was really catching my breath while climbing a fairly easy trail.

I tried quitting smoking several times but staying away from cigarettes made me very grumpy. The tiniest things would annoy me and it was putting stress between me and my workmates, family and friends. I was never successful so in 2012, I started to explore e-cigs as an alternative. e-cigs were starting to catch-on here in the Philippines and "Vape Shops" have started opening up in several big malls in my area.

On February 2012, I picked up a pair of eGos nad stopped smoking cold-turkey. Well not completely cold-turkey. Since then, I've had about 5 analog sticks just to remind myself how cigarettes actually tasted like. On the 4th and 5th sticks (about half a year ago), I found that I have grown to dislike the taste of analogs. As long as I'm vaping, I do not think I'll have a relapse to smoking. Maybe I'll have 1 or 2 sticks during the year just to taste them again, but I do not see myself buying a pack of smokes all over again.

Count me in sir, I'd like one.

I want one!

My Dibi hit hard enough without it. I don't see why I'd need it unless I decide to deep sub ohm- at which point I'll ask you where you got them so I can source one

Some people can have just 1 every now and again. A contractor I work for might have 1 every week or 2 for the buzz and he doesn't feel the physical or psychological need to keep having them. Lucky Bashturd.

Not me, I've quit a few times in 18 years of smoking. Always goes the same. Cigs then cigars then I end up on grape swisher sweets of all things. Still get twitchy when I see those yummy sweets. Vaping is the only thing that has worked. Still resisting the urge to make a NET from those swishers lol

 

[pdib]

I made a point of creating a vape (build, nic. level, device, etc.) SO satisfying that I actually prefer it to smokes by a long shot. Apparently, i don't have issues with the alkyd whatchamacallits. I vape at a nic level and a build where I'm satisfied after 3-4 toots (noticeably satisfied). A level that would leave me feeling queasy after 8-10 toots. I don't know if it's good or bad. It's just what I've found works for me.

 

[MasterofNone]

Agreed. For me it's a formula. I need a certain warmth, throat hit and nicotine level otherwise im on edge like I used to be in between cigarettes
