@ All on Pre Vet- Below is a post from the Darwin thread that I spend a lot of time in. Yes they are as nutty as the crew on this thread :) Anyway many took my Avi and adopted it as theirs for today so I consider myself very fortunate to be part of a forum that freely hands out support, help and celebrates each others successes. Since many of you have spent your time and creativity making the cross over into vetdom such a fun thing I thought I would post over here to give those that need to catch up a few sentences or so to slow them down :) Thanks!!!!



Many thanks for the kind words and months of support. Besides being a fun new hobby I often forget that I have been smoke free for over a year now! Many people stoned me to quit but like most I just would not listen. I am 46 years old and smoked for 28 years! So what really pushed me over the edge was not my kids or my wife but my love of the mountains and my deepest (and most expensive) addiction SKIING. Yes I know it may sound shallow to some but, people meditate, go to church, do yoga etc. to find inner peace, I find it on a pair of skis. I was noticing that I was getting winded and could not ski top to bottom like I used to so something had to change and thank god I found vaping!!!

Many have adopted my Avi today and that pic for me is pure solitude. I snap a photo of my ski tips each time before jumping into Corbets Couloir at Jackson Hole Wyoming. I have skiied many places in this world and for me Jackson is the Holy Land! This is one of those types of trails that will make your knees shake a little and put that metalic taste of adrenalin in your mouth. When I stand on this trail and look down there is a sort of funny calm that takes over and there is nothing but you and the mountain (No stress form work and no thought of pressing issues to be dealt with) and a knowing that in a few seconds you will feel like you are flying. For those that do not ski I am sure that is hard to understand but in terms that you may be able to grasp it is almost orgasmic.

I have attached a pdf (hope it works) that gives a side view of this trail so you can get an idea of the pitch. Again thanks all!

nice workshop!! cool Jacobs Ladder, Mindfield, who's your supplier, have a link ??

It's MadVapes, naturally. I got the order in just before the Canada fiasco.

I see two people in your lab. Do you have Quasimoto measuring out the nic base?

That's my taste tester. Soon to be ex-taste tester, because I made some cinnamon panettone and now he won't give it back.
