I'm sorry @Skeebo . That is sad news.

I never met a chocolate I didn't like. I even made a "Flavor" consisting of ALL my chocolates nothing but that, and I thought I might use it as a "Stone" but like, I am also perfectly fine vaping it straight:lol::lol::lol:.

I have this weird sort of "frantic" in the back of my neck, but like I am hoping it is stress/no Ambien day two. Bedtime is 11:30 (it coulda been later) wake up time is like 7 tomorrow.

LOL I called my mom and told her that and she was like "OMG CONGRATS!!!! I never got OFF it EVER!!" I was like, "Uh, Mom, trust me, this is not the medication hill I plan to die on."

She was like, "What?" I was like, "Oh...dealing with my 50 mg daily of Valium (it's actually not that bad for you) that my doc put me on because it fixed my tremor RIGHT before the whole opiate crap explosion." She was like.... "Ooooh."

I was like ,"Yeah, it was actually kind of HARD to get there like valley of the dolls hard, but I have a feeling it is going to be way harder to STOP and everyone's gonna think I'm dying of seizures again. Of course, that could actually happen."

So we were whining at each other about like, uh, how busy we were. She was like, "Okay outside of everything bad going on, what have you been doing?" And I was like, "You know.... Crying..... Trying to switch state ship with the whole CORONACRAP (I'm sorry after 43.7 hours of mask per day I am just DONE. I really am) gibbering in a corner that type of entertainment."

I think she was hoping for happy news but finally she had to be like, "I am the same I have to go teach a class! I'm sorry!:" I was like, "Uh, don't sweat it."

So yeah, did trainings which are infuriating because I can know/guess 90% of them but then there is that 10% "the government" and like..... That 10% is filled with stuff I don't know.

I wrote a letter about scheduling to my bosses and my husband fixed it (it's cool it doesn't say much other than, "The schedulers suck and this is why") but he wrote multimillion dollar architectural contracts. He strips what you write of all emotion, conjecture or anything else human. If I don't get scheduling privileges NOW, well, lDK.

If I don't, I do not know what I will do. They are a department where the goofy outgoing one like blathers on about her phone addiction at work like, right AT you and you are like,. "How nice and totally against policy" but you don't. You also don't say "Wow. That's wonderful. I don't even have time for a lunch break to find a new doctor."

Yeah, doc letter is tomorrow.

I have a pre-made juice I love (Mt Baker Apple fritter) It's the fritter part I'm interested in. Any suggestions for a DIY flavor that has that fried fritter taste? I'm considering (WF) Deep fried pastry dough and (FA) Zeppola. Someone here mention that Mt Baker juices are made from a certain flavor brand... might have been Flavor West (was that you @smacuser ?)

I am enjoying my mini Gen with the GTX mesh coils.I was wondering if 15 boxes of coils would be enough. My very first coil is still going strong so I’m thinking my 15 boxes will go a very long time.
I just got the fireluke 3 I love it. But it must be the juice I've been vaping tailored house strawberry crunch. Cuz I only get about 650 to 700 on the puff counter and that's not allot. I got 5 packs of the tx3 coils. My cerberus I normally don't used it allot got a new juice strawberry banana smoothie I got 984 puffs on the puff counter. It has to be the diff. Juice my gf will take and clean my coils out. She tried it with 100 proof vodka and then tried it with water she can bring a coil back like you wouldn't believe. Thank God! But I can reuse them after they dry and get just as many puffs as I did the 1st time.
Hopefully when I start doing my own juice I won't go threw coils like that. When people are steeping there juice and doing a taste test do most use a rda? So you don't ruin a good coil . Just wondering new to so this. About how long has that coil lasted you? I'm thinking I'm gonna have to figure something out 650 puffs if like 3 or 4 days that's not nothing. If I'd get a week I wouldn't no how to act.

If the coils are not scorched or anything major, I have had good luck using vodka. Just wanted to mention you really have to dry them very well after (at least overnight) Some people use boiling water but I haven't tried that. If the wick gets scorched, nothing will save it.

between here and there
So I got into the Sweet Rice last night.
50ml bottle
1ml Sweet Rice SC
1ml Sweet Cream TFA
1ml Pudding Base VT

This is really, really tasty right off the bat - can't wait to see how it evolves !

But...here's really funny thing...
The laaaaaaast little bit of exhale is like the best buttered popcorn you have ever had !
I wonder where the heck that came from - but I have to admit I like it a lot.
(You NEVER would have got me to vape popcorn !)
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Just made this. As soon as I put the 3 flavors together mixed in the bottle I could smell butter. So weird. Indivdually none had that smell. I taste tested it and yep butter. Can't wait to try it:)

Ps I have never bought a butter flavor either. This is a first for me also. Hope none of the bad stuff is in it.

RDA coils will last a LONG time. It's the wicking that can go bad in 3 days or 3 weeks, depending on the juice you're using so be prepared for that. And 3 weeks with sweet juices is stretching it some. You'll know by the taste. I once used the same cotton in an RTA for better than a month. The juice was a DIY lemon cheesecake. I did not have a single episode of off taste the whole time. I just decided one day that, geez, its been a while since I changed the cotton out. When I took it apart, the coils were heavily crusted with black gunk and the cotton was unrecognizable as separate from the nasty looking coils. And yet, I never tasted anything off or funky on this gig.

We let them dry for days. I try not to push my coils to the max for that reason do they can be brought back cuz I no there not going to last me long. Haven't tried the boiling water either.

I was reading up on that yesterday. Sounds very good imo. Zeppola (fa) at around 4%, just add creams or fruits and this is supposed to be good for any donut or bakery recipe but more doughnut at 4%. Supposed to have a great fried dough taste tho but to get fried taste I think you need to have the % at 3% . I was thinking about getting this and trying to make deep fried cream cake. Like a elephant ear just need powdered sugar. Plz don't make fun this is the first time I've ever replied to a post like this other t
There is also (FLV) Fried dough. (FW) has Funnel cake and Waffle cone. Read reviews on all the ones I mentioned and none sound like what I taste in the Apple Fitter juice (and most reviews were not good) I'm stumped.
Deep fried cake with powered sugar sounds great.

No worries, we're here bouncing ideas off each other for good reason. I once used 3 lemon flavors at a total of 33% of the mix and nothing else but some sweetener. Crazy, right? Best damn lemonade flavor juice I ever tasted. I caught a bit of flack and a few raised eyebrows at using flavoring at 33% lol. But it was good lol.

I love the Oak Island show. Some interesting stuff definitely went on there over the centuries. Like some archeologist said on the show once, I don't know what happened here but how many barren little islands off the coast of Canada would have this much old buried stuff. The search just keeps me on the edge of my seat for some reason. Bothers me a little that the narrator is the same guy who narrates Ancient Aliens, but that's my second favorite TV show anyway. If you enjoy a show it doesn't really matter if it's true, right?

As for religion, I don't care what anyone chooses to believe until they start passing laws to make the rest of us follow their Boss's rules. I read a comment once that religion is generally spiritual and positive when it's a minority thing, but as soon it gets political power the gloves come off.

Anyway, back on earth, I finished wicking and coiling all my tanks today. In the process I used up all the coils I had in my coil box so now I have to set aside a day to wind coils. I would normally do that when it's raining but we haven't had any rain for weeks and the forecast says it will be another 10 days before we get any. At least the grass isn't growing. I heard a good thing today. There's a kid next door who I've been watching grow up since he was born. He's 14 now and I just found out today his father has given him the OK to start doing yard work for pocket money. He's been mowing his own yard for several years so I know he's OK. My mowing days might be coming to an end.
It’s rained here every day. And I need coils. Come on down, solve both our problems lol

She will put my coils or two or three coils in a small bottle with a lid and put extremely hot water in there and then she will shake it up for a couple of minutes. And you can see the color of the water just getting dark. We use just a little juice bottle like maybe an 8 oz bottle and we only put maybe a couple ounces of hot water in it. Shake for a couple of minutes empty the dirty water out refill again with hot water Shake again for another minute or so when you take the coils out put your finger on the bottom of the hole and you can put your mouth on the top to blow out the excess water. That the really helps and then just lay them out on a paper towel for a few days. There as good as new can't tell the ones that have been brought back from a brand new ones.

That's what Zeppola is (although I haven't tried it but everyone mentions the powdered sugar aspect)
From what I've read and what everyone has said it taste like a doughnut at a higher % and a fried cake at a lower %. I may have the %s backwards . But the powder sugar I didn't no it was in there.

    I also do that. Might even throw in some croissant but then I would be breaking all the rules (of calling it a "pie crust") but I don't believe in rules anyway... if it tastes good then I don't care.
    There are no rules to DIY

    Vendor juice is over flavored and over sweetened.DIY is much easier on coils if you don’t need a lot of sweetener.

    I never had that luck refurbishing drop in coils. It's the wicking that goes bad and not the wire.

    Hey, You come up here and mow my lawn and I'll head down south and make you some coils. The last time I was in NO was the day before Katrina. We were there for a week and everyone was saying don't worry they never hit NO. We got up at 3.00 on Sat morning for an early flight home so we heard the bad news before most people were awake. Got a cab to airport and escaped, a couple of hours later you couldn't find a cab. I sent a bunch of postcards the day before we left so I had to call everyone I sent a card to and tell them I made it out.
