I mix at 65% PG 35% VG as I read somewhere that PG carries flavor or something like that. Have never known if I have the % correct but I like vaping it and my first coil lasted 9 weeks.

Probably not the VG then... although the coil longevity was more likely due to low % or non-gunking flavors.

Sorry to hear about your cat. I like that name, Jack....Jack the Cat has a nice ring to it!

Thanks for the compliment. I enjoy sharing stories of Zelda – and not just for her cat like ways, but to also inform others of her plans on world domination. As much of a spoiled princess she is, she is still an evil genius.

She has taken a temporary hiatus from her Dooms Day Machine. Given the current lock down it has been difficult for her to obtain weapons of mass destruction within black markets. She has recently taken advantage of the current pandemic and developed a bio lab to create mutated monsters. Just the other day she caught a moth and is now in the process of bio engineering a 300 foot mutated mecha moth that she plans to unleash on Japan (she’s been watching too many Godzilla movies).

Don’t let the below picture fool you. As cute as it may seem, that is a highly explosive foam ball of fear. Fortunately for us humanz she developed a pin like safety device so that it could be transported without the risk of blowing up. Unfortunately for her, the lack of opposable thumbs means she cannot pull the pin to activate the warhead. Even evil genius have their off days.

Um, from the looks of the planet in her paws, looks like she's going to start with Jupiter? :lol:

Need to (try for!) an early start with the weed whacker, before the scary yellow blob gets fierce... 3 days of summer on tap here, with temps in the low 80s...

    LOL...never looked at it from that perspective. But lets keep that between us, it’s challenging enough trying to keep her in check from world domination, I don’t need the Guardians of the Galaxy after her as well!

    I am like not ...... near cactuses ARE YOU NUTS. Some of them hurt when they pierce you THROUGH your hiking boots. Bushes it was, and they were lovely and I'm sure they appreciated it greatly.



    I am DOING this one it looks great, and I like have all the flavors even I think. Perhaps not grapefruit but I think so in a burst of enthusiasm since I can't drink it and I love it.

    I accidentally filled up my dragon fruit vape with a bit of "all mah berries' and I thought it would be gross, but it's good. "All mah berries" mix can be vaped with anything I think.



    Vodka makes the most authentic flavoring I know you can use it up to 5%. I fooled with it when I was at max VG and 10% flavors and I was looking to switch things up. I noticed no ill effects other than I got sick of it, it was like Everything was (flavoring) plus vodka. I might use it in a special vodka recipe though.

    Anyway I found PEG400 and the rest was blisffutly.

    So yeah the Tucson trip OH MAH GOD. Getting up early and leaving on time was not a problem we even had time to go to the house. It was freaking depressing. Espeically since I had seen videos of the husband's like, ah, handiwork which will not be repeated ever, though our contractor is both nice, patient, and competent .I really liked him.

    So then I spiked a fever of 104 something and I was like GAH and started downing Gatorade and like a couple Tylenol. It felt awful I am SO WEAK and pathetic. For some random unnamed virus, well I sure HOPE I don't catch COVID 19 .Heh. I took all best precautions because whatever it IS (I still believe it is COVID but WHO knows, I can't remember the last time I have been this sick.)

    Anyway so then we went to the bank(s.) I say that because the freaking BoA MANAGER (they are still open, 6 feet across and we loitered in the Tucson sun before being ushered inside and like, the manager was like "OOoooh so SORRY .Even though everything this guy is wearing has his BUISINESS on it, we just can't let you do it, I am so sorry." I was like "Ma'am *my* name was first on the check I have banked with you for like 15 years I think you could take my freaking WORD." She was like, "Oh no, sorry you will have to go to HIS bank, and he will have to deposit it, and you will sign. " I was like, "Ma'am CORPORATE told us to come here should we call them? I drove 2.5 hours to get here." I was like ,"So you are telling me some other saner bank will take this flimsy like printout from your ATM."

    She offered me water. I didn't accept because I was afraid I would grab it ,spit it in, and throw it in her face bur that's probably assault with deadly water these days or whatever and like, I was also, "Oh jeez she is probably like, another dumb human being doing what she says is right."

    So then we waited 15 minutes outside Well's Fargo and the contractor was all chill and everything. I liked him a lot. We were only supposed to give him half up front but I said to the husband, "This guy is a legit. I think Wells Fargo giving me a cashier's check for 15K (half) is unlikely can we just let him keep it all?" We decided it was all cool like that, and the Wells Fargo did indeed let him deposit it.

    I am changing banks as soon as is feasible. In any case that happened and now I am home, sore, swole up and rehydrating. I figured I would feel awful and indeed I did. I also figure I am going to live. And not do much tomorrow.

    I'm fried, but alive. BY golly also I have never felt this ill in all my born days so if I catch COVID on top of "whatever this is" I don't know what will happen. I still think it's covid.

    The house! The tragedy! I was hoping to avoid it.

    I may have missed part of the story of your old house. Does this deal mean the contractor will fix the damaged house up to where it can pass some inspection and get to where you can sell it without losing a bunch of money?

    We are hoping so. He says he can. It will be nothing approaching what the husband did but yes, serviceable. All the upgrades will be gone except we can say "brand new entirely remodeled, new roof new HVAC system, new plumbing etc."

    The only reason we can is Manufactured homes fall under HUD even if affixed (tied down) so they don't need rigorous inspection although frankly we gutted most of the systems and either paid someone or the husband fixed them our "Trafficking sellers" did some shady stuff as we discovered and fixe. Sigh. Manufactured homes, they're kind of like the hammer with 3 heads and two shafts, ours is pretty old but it will sell okay. I could see us making money on it IF we ignore all the money we put in to remodel it the first time ye, which I have to if I am going to stay sane.

    It's on an acre of very nice land someone will buy it it's gonna be done cheap but not horrific, etc.

    Good morning mixers I am just waking up. I slept until 10 the husband is still sleeping. I kept him up last night I couldn't sleep and well, it was a long day driving for him. Sigh.

    I might stretch today not gonna call it yoga. Or maybe not but tomorrow thing should start to happen.

    You’ve sparked my interest, what is a swamp cooler? Keep in mind, swamp here in Canada is the swamp mix inside the catcher traps from beer taps.

    It's an evaporative cooler. It puts moisture into the air. El Paso was basically desert so the air was really dry.

    That house turned into a real nightmare for you in more ways than one. Really hoping it gets fixed and sold quickly so you can get it out of your life.

    I’ve heard of evaporative coolers but never heard them referenced as swap coolers. Thx :thumb:

    When I was there in the army, everyone called them swamp coolers.

    Yep. Set wrong, the inside air can get VERY muggy, hence swamp cooler.
    I hate muggy and humid. Thank goodness we don’t get a lot of that here. We sure could use a longer summer though.

    I think I have to do at least a little mixing soon to help with the boredom. Too dang cold to even go out and sit. Dd has her sewing machine out and I believe she’s going to make some masks. She has the cloth,elastic,nose bridges and filters now. Maybe we’ll be getting out to the grocery store. Always hated grocery shopping and now I’m looking forward to it. Just something totally wrong about that.

    Suggestion on tbe home made masks. My bunch in KS has been making them and say using shoe strings makes one size bits all with masks. They can be adjusted to anyone. With the elastic if it's too small then your ears will hurt and u end up not wearing them. Just what I've been told anyway.
