Shortly after I started vaping my GS moved in for a couple of years. We told him it was a non-smoking house and he started vaping the same day he moved in. MVP / Nautilus was his favorite.

Then he joined the Marines and switched over to some kind of in your mouth nic product. Apparently that is widely popular in the Marines. They have a rule that you have to carry a bottle with you to spit in. Whenever he visited he would sit in the kitchen spitting in his bottle which I thought was gross.

He just showed up for Christmas and said he has quit the chews and gone back to vaping. He pulled out a pod, a disposable brand I never heard of. Blackberry Ice flavor and it was a really good tasty vape. He didn't know what nic % it had but just a few hits gave me a nic buzz.

Honestly, I could see myself being happy using those. I've tried pods a handful of times over the years and was never impressed before. Of course they might not be around for long unless you are into tobacco flavor.

Likely pretty high nic, many of them are. But, yeah, I agree, better those than spitting in a jar... :cry:

Supportability, for the long haul (i.e. when I'm gone! ) is where I sit, so I stick with my RTAs, replaceable battery mods and mixing. Not being able to get what I want, as you hinted at on flavors, nope, don't want to be there.

Then again, you could get a whole bunch of 'em ;)

    Morning all, I am burning through season 3 of the X Files! I think I am about halfway done with it. Going to make 1 1/2 lbs of bacon for BLTs, but first is coffee and vape.

    As for pods, I love 'em and it's all I am using (Sceptre 2).
    Your going to get way ahead of me on x-files.

    Good afternoon folks,
    not much i do, shake bottles.

    Saw a live program on Saturday, Dimi and Phil were guests.
    Dimi, as usual, is very well up to date on what is happening.
    There is a new tax proposal on the way that will apply to the whole of Europe, 40% on everything that is vape related, but 40% on PG, VG as well. Nic, he didn't say anything about, but I think most people who can see the future are that it will be astronomical.

    Tomorrow I will collect my 2 liters of NIC, emergency reserve in the freezer.
    Next year I'm going to stock up on PG and VG, thinking of storing them in a fridge. Is it stupid, or is it a good solution?

    I keep my nic in the freezer and just keep my pg and vg in the basement where it stays a consistent temperature. I've never kept them in a refrigerator but am sure it would be fine if you want to do that.

    I keep my nic in the freezer. My working bottle is kept in the fridge.

    Never saw the need to keep PG/VG in the fridge. Like Hitt, I store mine in my basement.
    And, I've never heard of quality PG/VG going bad.

    Also store my flavors in the basement.

    We actually have a single digit in our forecast. The low Friday night is supposed to be 5 and a high of 37.

    In other news, I bought a hitch step for Belle and I have running boards that my brother is going to install this week. You should see me getting in and out of the bed, liked to bust my stitches. Getting in and out of the cabin isn't much easier. I'll be glad once Belle is all decked out with her accessories.

    Good evening. Originally my Stubby AIO was supposed to arrive today but it’s still in transit. Also it’s 6:30 and the mail hasn’t been delivered yet. Our post office is very understaffed and we aren’t getting mail every day.

    Yes. Had a nice weekend. Saturday afternoon my youngest daughter and her wife drove down for a short stay and to go visit some friends of theirs. Hence my cleaning spree Saturday morning!!! LOL. They're going back up north tomorrow and I'll head up Wednesday or Thursday.

    I saw the pics you posted. That's very nice of Vaporesso!!!
    Vaporesso usually sends something for reviewers. One year I got a talking gift box that had a Luxe PM40 with my hittman screen name printed on it.
