ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

[kas122461]

I see a lot of new products go by, but, there is no real quality control and I definitely don't want a cheap mod just giving out at a bad moment. I would rather have a better quality mod.

This is the reason I decided to give Dicodes a try, last year I did try a few other devises, and for the most part ended up disappointed. Dicodes is a quality devise, and has a 2 year warranty, if they are going to give that kind of warranty, that really says a lot. Over the last 2 years, I have been on a very limited budget, I cant afford to waste my money, on something that is not going to last.

If I didn't have ProVari's to last me the rest of my life, I would get a Dicodes from that that Crème place in The U.K.

Dani rocks my socks.

 

[RadiusNick]

personally i prefer better the way the dna board fires/vape than the Radius,and if i had to get a new mod I'd probably go with this one XPV DNA-75C
i like that's it's not mass produced(seems like it's being made according to orders),it reasonably priced and made in the US,and if you know how to do it you can get a DIY kit which will make it even cheaper: XPV DNA-75C DIY Kit
Dicodes are on the top of my list too,but as mentioned;quit expensive and i really don't connect to their box design,even though the Dani mini seems to be quit alright.
on the other hand i really like the Taifun box(which uses a Dicodes board too) but this one is even more expensive.

Ugh no new high gear for me, I just broke my dentures yesterday and like, the front two teeth broke it's rather redneck. I have dental insurance and all. Thank goodness I kept my last pair, (they tell you to) but like, IDK. It's gonna be expensive to fix even with insurance I bet.

I'm going to have to call my dental insurance and I have NO CLUE who fixes dentures where I an at now and etc.

The old ones work surprisingly okay given I have implants. I guess that's a small mercy in itself they have soft liners so the implants dig in.

Still soft foods for me for however long, etc.

Nothing is cheap when it comes to dental work. I just went to the dentist and as the doc was inspecting my piehole I saw his eyes turn to a $5,000 shade of green. Turns out he was mostly full of crap after I got a second opinion, but still. It jarred me enough to take action. Prevention is the best strategy. I just got a Sonicare electric toothbrush. OMG, what an improvement over a manual brush! There is no comparison. This switch is probably the single most impactful way to prevent tooth maladies (when used as directed). And of course flossing and mouthwash helps too (a total care product with fluoride in it). That said, my best understanding of implants versus dentures suggests implants are a far better option...though I am not an expert by any stretch. And these days, many dentists do implants. Gotta get recommendations though. But a good dentist can do them instead of sending you all over town to specialists.

I don't envy you.

Think of the time and money saved if we just yanked all our teeth out (not to mention how sexy looking we'd be). I advocate for pounding the hell out of our steaks with our gums!!

Sorry, Anna

NOT laughing at YOU, but AM cracking up at Bronze & Turf's "Toothless World Serenade".

You are so right about the Sonicare, now take it a step further and get a waterpik flosser. I use cavity preventative mouthwash in my waterpik. Best of all worlds. Unfortunately, I discovered these things later rather than sooner so have bridgework and crowns. The waterpik works wonders under bridgework.

I have used one for several years, they are great. The problem I have with sonicare is the brush replacement price. I have one and the battery is getting kind of off. I'd like to find "good" meaning softer bristles and smaller head. Don't laugh out loud but my mouth is rather small, getting the brush into certain places is kind of tough.

Oh, my daughter is still using a Provari, just to remain somewhat faithful to the topic.

Oh I have all the expensive stuff including a water pic (the best) and I also HAD a periodontist I visited regularly because NOT ONLY do I have implant issue, well, my gums could be happier (again the lithium.)

It is probably good that I am establishing dental "home" because I know I need to get back to that, I just did not have the dough or benefits to keep it up.

You'd be shocked how many dentists have to "send it out to the lab." I can think of TWO in house labs in my town, and the one who did most of the actual denture WORK like, is crazy booked and out of network although they will give you a bill for your insurance, It may take a few days.

I don't envy me either, actually, It's not going to be very fun but you do what you do. I would have the husband fix them with like, that fake stuff you use that sort of works for a while, but I'd have to go out, it's the teeth, and if they fall out in the meantime, I would have to pay for more teeth, etc. In case I swallowed them.

Yes this is going to be a pain. I'm fairly sure Cigna can send me someplace, but I don't think it will be same day service, etc.

Pix, or it didn't happen

p.s. I do sympathize, but I couldn't pass up the chance of a cheap joke.

Too many good, inexpensive generics out there to put up with $12 Sonicare heads. That's downright theft.

No one accused any of us of having class.

Let's face it dentists and dental insurance are both a rip-off. A few years after I retired I went with clear choice, which isn't cheap. The good thing is they don't move and can't be removed except by a dentist. I can't feel them in my mouth so I really have no thoughts about them. Getting away from pain and misery I ordered the Lost Vape Mirage Evolv DNA 75C. I liked the Dicodes but Mrs Ping wants a new car and a few vacations this year.

I no longer have enough bone left (espcieally after the implants I HAVE were done, OMG dental surgeons are like the BRUTISHIST. I know, because I was awake during ALL the surgeries, no opiates for me either. Every time I went in for work, I looked like a battered spouse, for reals. He did not hold back because I was awake, but he did tell me I was the best dental patient EVER because I just lay there, and thought about what would happen if I didn''t do it awake. LOL.

So anyway yeah I got dentures at 33, I would need a TON of bone grafting and I'm not into it. Because I have lost so much bone over the years. They build up your dentures to compensate for it, but my face is still a bit leaner than it was.

So if I can ever find someone willing to gift me, oh, 60 K and such, I would probably do it.

Getting dentures at 33 was awful, it was also my last relapse and it was not GOOD. I cleaned out my opiate receptors using a creative method and the husband is the one to decide if I get any past a certain point, because really, I'd rather pass out.

I DID pass out removing my upper denture. They told me to leave it in to minimize the swelling. When I DID finally get it out just CHUNKS of my gum and stitches and whatnot came with it. I politely put my dentures on the sink, and then passed out (per the husband).

No pictures of that either, but that is kinda what happens when you go, "Yes, please rip out all my teeth at once and they are deep set, just porous and whatnot. My brother brought me home that day and I think he thinks I was heroic.

I nasal smoked Via a drill thing the husband made do NOT ask me something to do with the spinning action, a weird hookup to some sort of odd thing that just blew straight up smoke up my nose.

He tried a gravity ...., but the one he made, he was like, "Umj too much for you honey."

LOL I guess I could shove my book on Amazon, accept a really low price and see if I wind up with enough for all that,. But, I doubt it.

You jest, but really, it was horrific especially the implants and just advil. It super sucked.

I've got two implants, and I cannot tell them from the real deal.
