ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

My heart goes out to them since they'll be smoking again soon, or so it appears.

Thank you, juul, for mucking it ALL up for ALL of us.

Some will blame one, others will blame some, but the evidence of who is truly at fault here, for everything we're seeing and experiencing, has long been obvious (as was predicted by more than just a few).

The machine is strong.

on the brighter side...

cig prices are down!!!

LOLz

I think most are dual users, not really wanting to quit either...just dual use.

The machine is FRIGHTENINGLY strong.

what really gets them after they take in the sight of these Pulp Fiction ProVari minis... is when I tell them, I haven’t spent even one dollar in over 3 years, while still enjoying the same 2 DIY juices daily.

...I could say that as well, Lord knows I have enough of every LAST thing under the sun onhand...but I have bought a few of my favorite commercially made juices, and some flavorings.

i was gonna buy a pack, but couldnt decide which, so many choices...

i also imagined what would happen if smokers only had to choose between two packs.

menthol or not, and nothing else.

i mean like only two packs, from one manufacturer, and thats it!!!

Unless it's Virginia Slims, which I expect STILL has 862 varieties (of basically the same thing).

I can't get over that woman that used to work for NIH attacking Conley and telling him it is safer to roll your own cigs that vaping. She thinks it is only the added chemicals in cigs that are dangerous but ryo is good, has been used for thousands of years with no problem.

I was told that my brand (Marlboro Medium) went to $11.50 (Stamford, CT) in 2017. I don't know if it's true because I wasn't even tempted...

I did just find that as of June 1st, 2019 tax on a package went up by $1 per pack, bringing the total tax per pack of cigarettes to $2.98.

Had to laugh when you mentioned Virginia Slims. I smoked those way, way back. B&H before that...fancy gold box ya know.
M'boro light 100's when I smoked my last on 09/10/12

 

[DPLongo22]

M'boro light 100's

ALWAYS 100s here too (like I cared?). Had to get that extra bit...

13-Nov-11, last pack purchased & smoked here. Doused the last one at 8pm eastern to exact, not even realizing it would be the last one (at the time).

Woke to numb leg in the middle of the night, and realized that my smoking days were OVER. By noon the next day, I had two Blu disposables in hand.

And that was just the beginning.

EXACTLY.
Opi posted an article about UK embracing vaping, well yeah...I'm sure they don't have tobacco bonds to cover.
Crooked emmmmffffrrrrs....pardone my language.

LMBO, yep...always 100's....I kinda miss my cute cases though.
But most definitely don't miss smelling like an ashtray.

Given some recent, "Outside of even the most Outside" activity here, I'm hesitant to post a link to this one.

But if anyone wants a giggle, paste this into a Google search:

"bills patriots tradition throw".

Ah, football fans. Some never let me down.

unreasonable crazy times are here.

just took a couple pics of my 2 daily vapes... I carry these

last Monday was 6 years since joining ECF... and I still vape 3.6 volts on the same 1.7 ohm coils... 7 wraps of 30ga on the little blue screwdriver

This is so me......what tanks are you putting those coils in?

 

[dedi]

The black full size 2.5 truly looks awesome in hand... people vaping outside my work are amazed when the see my old Provi while puffing away on their Juuls

[This summer I was with a group and some of the younger people commented with amazement....my son spoke up and my Mom was vaping before vaping was cool! Lol
