    Hi Fran
    Hope your lack of sleep is just you adjusting to a new environment. My lack is becoming disruptive to my health and daily activities.. I have tried for years to get my gp to give me sleeping pills but she just wont. Guess she is afraid to because apparently they are cracking down on those types of meds. Maybe i need a new doc?
    :)
    Second opinion can’t hurt.My sleep has been crappy the last few months.I guess that’s not surprising IDK

    No, not surprising at all given all you have just been through this year.
    I have no clue as to my lack of sleep. Just seems to get less and less. Doc says my meds are where they are suppose to be.
    Just discouraging

    Maybe you really should get another dr’s opinion. Certainly can’t hurt.

    Good evening everyone! Anyone come up with an all day vape for themselves? The idea of an All Day Vape is something I don’t really understand. Why would anyone want to vape the same flavor ALL day. I guess adding juice to the tank is too difficult especially if working. But wait, aren’t they refilling the tanks with the ADV anyways as the day goes on?

    I suppose it’s just easier. Fill ‘er up then Go. That goes with squonking as well. The few times I’ve used my squonkers I only put about 15-20 mls in the bottles so I can keep switching it out. Also i have a rotation of attys and mods so I can pick and choose throughout the day.

    I guess that would be too complicated if you’re working etc... lol! Imagine the looks you’d get setting up multiple setups at your desk or work area lol!

    I’ve been “spoiled” by my lack of working that I miss so much. I DIY So I usually have 12-20 juice sitting in front of me. Probably not too many people in the same situation.

    I’ve totally forgotten what my point was or if I even had a point.

    But I do know that I’m almost out of those 20 juices so I need to regenerate my mixing AND building very soon.

    I really don’t have any excuse since my thumb was temporarily “fixed” by those steroid injections. And the mix room is pretty cool. More so than many of the other rooms.

    Now I’m starting to run out of juice and my vapes are starting to taste a bit funky and dull so I know the coils need to replaced. I did dry burn and rewick several about a week or more. And most of my vapes are pretty sweet and cool killers!!

    Well that’s enough of my rambling but I better get my motivation going or I’ll be vaping VG only lol!!

    Sleep well!!

    Like Fran, I have a few I consider ADVs and many others I rotate through. For me, an ADV is something I use daily and COULD make my one and only , if I needed to. Very few qualify as that for me.

    I'll be washing out my tank and picking a new flavor in a few minutes. After all this waiting I'm going to be so disappointed if I don't like it. Wish me luck.........

    I thought you tested with an rda, no? Anywho, good luck, I hope you like the new one.

    I used to but I've lost my patience with coiling and wicking. I'm sure I'll get back to it once everything settles down. I starting using my egoOne tanks because the CLR coils were so simple to rewick. I have since got into the Zenith and Zlide and I've found how easily the Z coils take a flavor change. Soooo I'm been using them now.

    I r bummed. For some reason the pool is not filling up. I changed the hose just now but I think it is due to being on a well.

    I love the Zlide and ego one tanks. I may never have to build another coil and that would be too soon as I hate it. Question is what do I do with all the new BF squonkers that I bought.

    I tried one squonker and that was enough to show me it wasn't for me. Never could get used to dripping either. You could probably sell the squonkers via pm if you know who might want to buy them. I don't mind winding coils, I just lost patience with it with so much other crap going on.

    Bummer on the pool. I hope it fills.

    I actually like squonking, I dripped for years. I don't mind making coils, what I hate is attaching them. I hate fiddling with those tiny screws more than anything.
    Yeah, I'm not a big fan of those screws either as my eyes get worse.

    I bought a fuchai squonk kit. It was ok. I couldn't stand the rda that came with it so I put an ammit mtl rda on it. I only used it for a short time and put it in storage. I think squonking just isn't my thing.

    Try making 10 - 20 coils in one sitting. Goes faster, the coils will last you a long time, and you're miserable only once in awhile.

    @Bronze You need to post about your new scale here so these folks can get a laugh too:)
    Once is embarrassing enough. :)

    I have a rotation of juices that I stick with for several days. I only use RTAs (just 2) and I work quite a lot (physical work). So not really much time to fuss around with anything more than 1 mod and tank at a time. I do a flavor change every time I change my wick. I use my other RTA to vape on while I'm cleaning, drying, coiling, wicking my primary RTA. Sometimes I don't have any time to clean and rewick, and let it go for a week or more and just keep adding whatever flavor I'm vaping. I do have a blueberry/blue raspberry cotton candy menthol vape in my 2nd RTA, but just haven't had time to mix up another bottle to refill it. The juices I have right now could be grouped together because of creams/custard etc. It's nice to have something like the blueberry menthol vape to cleanse the palette. I guess that's the name of the game of fishing, not much free time at all most of the time to all the time in the world in the winter. I just do what I can. I used to just vape one flavor all the time the last couple years. Blueberry menthol, and I never really got sick of it. Mixing has opened up a whole new world for me, even if I haven't mixed it up with vaping different flavors as much as I'd like to.
