I had a wisdom tooth pulled today. They said only soft foods, no carbonated drinks, no alcohol, no straws, and no smoking for 5 days. They didn't say anything about vaping and I didn't ask, because I knew the answer was going to be no and I knew there was no way I can go 5 days without vaping. I barely can go 5 minutes.
My wife had a tooth pulled this week too! I showed her what I learned - vape gently with the sides of your mouth open a bit so you're just breathing, not pulling. It worked for me and so far so good for her. Good luck!

Does anyone on here store their nic in a mini freezer inside their home? Or do most of you store it in a freezer out in the garage?
It doesn't matter unless you get temps over 100 deg F (yes, we are getting another heat wave... dang it) Small freezers do fine... my son has a chest freezer in the garage and it has done fine all summer.

I have all but 3 of those
I must have missed that post... I have two Kanger Kbox mods and love them (bought new on clearance sales) One is actually the original Kbox 40 (no screen... just LEDs, I love that thing... use it every day)

I had two teeth pulled and continued to vape but gentle draws... did fine.

Just a few weeks ago there was a lot of talk about how quiet ECF was getting and would it just fade away. Now it's super busy and I gave up trying to keep up with the handful of threads I follow. I've been busy, plus nothing much happens in my vape life these days. I live vicariously through you guys.
Yes... long live ECF ;)

Thanks, but do I really need to have it on a pan at all times? Can I just put a pan under it when I defrost it? Now, I want to point out that I have no idea what goes into defrosting a freezer. So those questions might have been very stupid.
If you have high humidity, you might have to defrost more often but that's only if you open it often... don't open it for long at a time and you will be fine. You are overthinking this... When you first get the freezer (if you don't have other stuff to put in it) just put some gallon jugs of water (leave airspace... don't fill all the way) It's good for the freezer to not be too empty. Your nic will be fine my friend... mine has only been in a fridge for many months and it's fine :thumb:

For a really nice performing single coil squonk rdta, you might want an sxk haku riviera or 2 [emoji3] I think it was Mel who turned me onto them. Just a wonderful flavor topper - I run them on both my in-use squonkers, with a spare on the shelf. For squonking you block the juice fill port with a bit of cotton or rayon, then it's essentially leak proof (I've had mods on their side overnight multiple times).

Congratulations! Ironic...my Mom and Dad have been married for 65 years today. :wub:
Mine would have been close to 60 years but dad passed away less than two tears ago... no, don't feel bad, it's all good... lots of good memories... no tears OK. We do talk about him often and all the good times :thumb:

I was thinking of your house sale money

I am totally jumping to the end of the insane number of posts and stating that check has to come by SNAIL mail (I know but BOA charges for wire transfers of that nature and I am not HAVING it, it all sits anyway) and I DID that because there are other things you have to do to prove the ability to get a mortgage, besides slamming down a wad of cash and saying here: GIVE me HOUSE. Don't get me wrong we will DO that but I have to have at least a few paychecks and demonstrate the ability to like, earn a living etc., and we are NOT IN A RUSH. Like there is nothing more demoralizing than like getting used to not running into walls in ONE house, and then having to pack up EVERYTHING again and GO. TOO many times this year.

Housing is cheapest in the dead of winter, etc. I am sure we will QUALIFY for a mortgage soon (not really any tragic credit issues) and lock in a rate and all that but JEEZ louise I got here like 3.5 weeks ago, FOUND rental housing and started working THE MONDAY after moving all weekend. It's LABOR DAY. LET ME BE. OMG. I will buy the house when *I* am ready to buy the damn house, NOT when YOU are ready for me to do it.

It's not TIME yet. I want to see a winter. I want to get used to traffic patterns. This is my forever house. This is peak real estate season here and they are not all moving so crazy fast. I can only take so much change at once before I wind up on a psych unit which severely impairs my freaking ability to earn a living. We have money, the bills are paid, I got paid, it's FINE.

I actually did have a total and complete meltdown last night after the house was sold. I couldn't sleep I could not do yoga 2 days in a row I was like "ARGH HOUSE SOLD POINT OF NO RETURN WHAT IF I FAIL FAIL FAIL?" I had to take like 17 ambien. Okay not that many but it felt like it. I was super ....... I smoked a cigarette. I woke up this morning like Night of the Living dead but fortunately I woke up some. Then, my poor trainer came in to work all sick and well, pretty much she had to go home but she was like, "Anna can do it." I was all, "OMG you drove 1.5 hours to work here sick because you were worried. Don't. I can totally reach my supervisor if I need to." It was all fine. Just a stress meltdown. Health insurance comes WAY before house and well, like, that's getting figured out and my day was okay and no one died that I know of.

Then I came home and my dear husband who knows I get all PSYCHOTCIALLY freaky without yoga demolished all the piles in the kitchen and figured out the level places and showed me where to shove my yoga mat. Which was super nice because without yoga I do NOT do well and I HATE gyms, always have, even before I could do the kind of things that draw strange men to you to "conversate" and I can't even wear ear buds because it throws off my balance. I could pretend to be deaf and "sign language" at them but that's harder to pull off sober. So that was a a major improvement. Both knees hurt not just one but that's actually an improvement honestly because it's just strength building on both sides.

All the houses on the face of the earth in WV are not about to evaporate that I know of and if they do the hobbit and I will have to find a cave.

Oooh, I hugged a tree today but I did check to see if anyone was looking. LOL.

Jeans Friday Tomorrow and YAYAYAY the a 3 day weekend. My Creator has always done that for me in recent positions and god knows I need it. Also I am Joining the Federal Union which, like my 60s flower child me is like YAYAYYYYY ME I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN A UNION THEY ARE COOL.

The conservative me is like, "Meh. They have cheap auto insurance and good mortgage rates so holy crud I got to do it even though the idea of "dues" is a bit, IDK fluffy and also like do I really need someone to negotiate for me? Meh, cheap life and car and house insurance okay this is a Democrat program but I can eat it.

Planning to do very little after tomorrow for a few days. Holy god.

I mentioned this recentlty... had two teeth pulled and went ahead and vaped (very easy draws) did just fine.

    If this was the shiny thread there would be an obvious answer - both

    I think this has morphed into the shiny thread. It is busier than the shiny thread.

    Man am I cranky (but better) LOL I am glad I missed some of today man, all of a sudden I am like "Surely I must want a Sceptre everyone wants one pods are GREAT I bet."

    Yeah, while I am sure pods are not rocket science I am EQUALLY sure I don't need some like, vaping system that is new and I have to figure out what coils I like and etc. etc.

    I am going to buy more big beautiful batteries from IMR for my Geekvape Maxes that arrived! They are great. Not even any flavors right now. Not too stressed about flavors I have so many still to try.
