    It may be time for me to realize I’m not 10 ‘ tall and bulletproof, and start taking better care of myself. I suppose you’re going to tell me jelly belly jelly beans are not a meal. Truth is I rarely eat breakfast and skip lunch a whole lot also. I think it’s time to change my ways.

    Oops, I'm sorry! :lol::lol::lol:
    I cropped the image, but didn't resize it. Not sure at the moment how to go about that, but I'll figure it out so I don't inundate you and others with gargantuan photos :thumbs:

    My wife and pup absolutely love this stuff, and if she could get it in 5 gallon buckets she would.
    I log on ecf primarily on my phone, but I just had to check it out on my PC. Yikes!!! :lol::lol::lol:

    I am beginning to think I am no longer able to taste butterscotch. It's either that or Juice Fairies have sucked all the essence out of my butterscotch ripple bottle. The same thing is happening with caramel... this is not good.
    If those are flavors you vape lots of you always run that risk. I hope it's only temp. though.

    That is one of the reasons that I constantly rotate my flavors, and that I like variety.

    Good evening in here! Hope everyone is well and vaping!
    I'm trying (started yesterday) trying to retrain my smell hoping it would effect taste. I also developed a new covid symptom-it is weird. 1-taking out warm clothes out of dryer. They are ice cold. 2-my feet feel like I'm dipping in frozen water. It's weird and I'm researching it. It's not a constant. I can live with it so far. I'm hoping to taste my vape soon-ish! I'm kinda thinking I have some sort of peripheral Neuropathy.

    Those are weird symptoms. I really wish all symptoms would end for you.

    Having a hard time with Provaris.

    My purple mini has a sticky fire button which doesn't pop back out. I soaked it in contact cleaner, that's worked in the past. It worked this time but only for a couple of days. I found what is supposed to be the same button that Provari used on Ebay for $12, with instructions on how to replace it. Might give that a try. It would take some precision soldering that's beyond my previous experience though.

    My blue full size wouldn't work at all. Finally figured out there's a piece missing. Where the battery positive meets the board there's a piece of plastic with a notch cut out for the battery button. Looked at another Provari, there should be a metal clip that fits over the plastic in the notch and goes down to the positive contact on the board. I was using that one not long ago and it was fine. The metal clip must have come loose and fallen out. Searched my desk but the piece is smaller than a match head. I might be able to make a replacement if I take the board out. But it also has a messed up screen cover and the paint is peeling off, it's so crappy that it started dissolving when I cleaned the threads with alcohol.

    Always figured Provaris were the mods I would be left with when all the others had died.

    You might give this guy a try, I think his name is Bill. I know that Fringe Chief just had 2 of his Provari Radius's repaired. It depends on if he has the parts or not, might be worth a try. :unsure:

    That is one of the reasons that I constantly rotate my flavors, and that I like variety.

    Likewise. A round dozen mods going at all times, all different flavors. Haven't had a burn out (or attack of the JFs!) yet... :unsure: I usually work on two or three daily, and always have at least a couple with full tanks and batteries, in case I go out.

    Maybe if you (Skeebo) rotate in a couple with totally different flavor profiles, the favs taste might come back. :nun:

    This is tragic. You love those flavors. I hope it's a passing phase.

    Skippy Natural is all we buy now. I never tried the Skippy Protein.


    To be honest, don't like Natural (or organic), even after mixing it - it's still too oily for "Me" . . . BTW: I keep a few jars on hand , especially during hurricane season . . . Protein not "Bad" just to expensive - only buy reg when it's on Sale - usually 2-4-$4 . . . Plus, it should also be noted that havin a jar or 2 of PB around, you'll never go hungry . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I'm glad that now you too, could see why I made the comment that it would take me years to finish a jar that big...even without seeing the full-size version. :D
