I think I unsubscribed from every vape vendor. After 10.5 years this makes me angry that I have to do it. In WI Governor Evers wants to tax vape (including hardware) at 71%. This does not make sense. The last time he tried he was shot down. I hope the same for this time. A lot of folks will just smoke cigs because they will be cheaper than vaping.

Edit: Kristen from CAASA has a post citing with a link on the possible tax.

I am waiting on 3 orders and it's rather hard to believe this will be the last. I smoked for roughly 27 years and tried quitting numerous times with no luck at succeeding. When I started vaping it was a game changer. I no longer chain smoked 5 cigarettes before bedtime. Every bout with cold or flu was no longer followed by 3 months of a congested cough that I had while smoking.

The fact that we were lucky/fortunate enough to come into vaping when we did leads me to a lack of optimism for fellow smokers who may never realize the options we have enjoyed.

We really did have it good.

I agree. I am sad though. I might have to go to a few vape shops to help with the sadness. I'm a frugal person so I doubt buying something unless it is needed. I just want to look at prices and see what they are pimping.

    Just got my second vaccine and am waiting to leave. Had three packages arrive right before I left. My flavor cases, vertex rtas, and some review stuff I can’t talk about yet.

    I got the Vertex RTA on the way, so be interested in what you think of it, once you get a chance :)

    Oh Yea - The regular guy is not on duty today - THANKFULLY . . . Instead we have a great substitute filling in for him, it's the Woman Postal Person - Never Ever Have A Problem, even have the mail come at a more reasonable time too . . .

    Thankfully for us it's the subs that are the problem. The "usual" driver is pretty good and generally consistent timing her route. Not sure if the subs / Saturday folk run the route differently, or just done GAF, but I've had no mail a 6 pm on Saturdays, and a full box Sunday. When they don't deliver??? So usually only postal chaos on the weekends or her vacation times.

    I got two large projects completed today. Until they give me more tomorrow. :eek: I’ve got a lot of catching up to do with my normal work as well.

    I’m thinking about taking some time off Friday and some days next week. I cancelled some meetings. It’s just too much.

    Yesterday I spent a little bit of time unsubscribing from all these vape vendors. It has actually been nice not thinking about ordering. It’s not nice about the shipping ban or the pmtas but you know what I mean.

    I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing.

    I learned early in my Navy career, when overseas in a foreign port, if it looks good order it but don't ask what it is. I enjoyed eating some really wonderful foods when visiting foreign cities. I never understood being in a foreign city/country and the guys would be looking forward to going to McDonald's for a hamburger.

    Good to know. I made the mango/pudding base mix a few days ago. I'll give it a few more days.
    What percentages did you use? I have plenty of mango ejuice.

    They almost always do. Either that or you’ll wake up with a knife stuck in you.
    As long as she doesn't do a Lorena Bobbitt. Now that would hurt!

    Actually, already took pictures of the last package in the mail box and just got back from filing the complaint . . . The postmaster also took pictures of the package (I gave him the package anyway) . . . He promised he would look into it and call me back when he finds out why it happened . . . Well - Can we say "LAZY" . . . Just Sayin'. . . :rolleyes:

    The deck screws are tiny. Don’t unscrew them too far. I lost one already and played hell getting one of the spare ones installed.

    I really don’t like those tiny screws anymore.

    I certainly feel lucky: I only started vaping three years ago--just in the nick of time to benefit from all the bounty and stock up for the coming famine.

    So far I’m liking the vertex. I’ve got it set up with some superfine Clapton 316 wire. I made a 2.5mm coil reading .75. With the airflow set open it’s a loose mtl. Flavor is really good so far.

    I’m going to hit 11 years the first of June. Doesn’t seem possible.
