Big congrats to @stols001!

Good morning random folks:) What was your first pv? I don't even remember what my first pv was called but it was a cig-a-like that took carts and atties. Real pain filling those carts every 10 seconds and replacing burnt up atties. Up next quickly came Green Smoke which was pretty decent for a cig-a-like until the quality went to pot. At that point I went into the local smoke shop. They didn't sell ecigs back in 2010 but they told me about Vermont Vapor. Up next came the egos,510's and cartomizers which was a big improvement.
I found ecf while searching for more info. It took me a while to join but here I still am.
My first was a Halo G6. Stuck with it for six months and then graduated to a Kroma-A/Zenith.

@stols001, maybe your employer would be grateful to find out sooner rather than later that at least one of the workers in their brand-new pharmacy is not up to snuff. But I can see why you might not want to chance it. What an all-round pain in the rump, regardless.

Regarding the grenadine, I don't know why it intrigues me, since I never much noticed what it contributed to cocktails. I put it in the cart, anyway. I can always take it out again.

    I went ahead and placed a small order with bcf. I had five flavors I wanted. I remembered at the last moment to use our coupon code. My flavor stash on elr says 395 but I’m not sure that I’ve added everything that I have to it. I may have missed some. The good thing about having that many is that my orders are smaller.

    Whew. Well, that was quite the trip. So I go there and there is like this.... In BIG RED WRITING "Talk to patient." Anyway, I wanted to find out from the pharmacist anyway WTH? as far as splitting those tablets in order to not die, so I was like fine talking to her. I will say, the Sierra VISTA pharmacy is one of the best pharmacies I have EVER used, sad the Douglas one is not the same. They have consistently been awesome.

    Anyway the pharmacist was like, "We um..... It just...." and I was like. "It's fine. I already read my lab work, I signed a release and got my team to print it for me. I WAS gonna see this nut job MONDAY only I couldn't get approval in time from like, my supervisor so I just cancelled it. But yes, I am aware I am in heart attack land, which is why I want to know if I can SPLIT these, and also I though I had a cold for the last few weeks but like, apparently NOT I am CRAZY hyper thyroid and it SUCKS. I really... I feel like death, honestly. In fact, I printed out ALL my lab work and EVERY stupid thing this doctor did made my TSH LOWER, so she is doing it WRONG. I actually want to be bridged for my OLD medication and go back to my OLD PCP even if it means a trip to Tucson because frankly, I GET she had thyroid cancer, I GET she hit her perfect dose at time ONE, but I did NOT in fact, but I have been stable on that dose for10 years and I get it's a little WERID but like, that is what WORKED which is why I WENT to an endocrinologist who was like, "Yup a little weird, but if it's working, you are fine."

    She was like, "Yeah, we see this all the time, people a little off but it's working for them and then there is this, ahem, cascade of changes...."

    I was like "I am never taking Synthroid again an as far as I'm concerned and the lab work SHOWS this woman is trying to KILL me. Anyway, so like she said I could lay off the thyroid completely for a couple days which is FREAKING fine with me, and she (heh, and the doctor's office where I canceled also got the notice) I was just like "I don't want to see I had thyroid cancer woman EVER again, she needs to knock off her pet peeve and leave me ALONE I've been feeling like HELL for 6 months thanks to her, and she politely informed me she found her perfect DOSE "the first time" so every time I ASKED her for help, she was like "Wait for the lab work" I wanted to kick her in the TEETH. I am shocked I could WORK through all this, frankly."

    LOL so I declined the thyroid pills, I have a feeling doctor Thyroid will be putting me back on the meds that worked for 10 years, and I get to go back to Tucson which is annoying, but also better than dying from a heart ATTACK. Maybe. I'm not feeling so "I care so much" ATM, but I'm sure I would miss myself.

    Talked to little brother he is buying land in yes, upstate NY and building on it. He's all amped for chickens, goats and whatnot.

    I did not tell him about the goats, but I did tell him he'd better keep them in a secure pen, and take the dog with him when he enters. He thinks he is going to get goat's milk out of the females.. I was like, mentally "Good luck with that one maybe you'll get lucky but GOATS." Hehe, after his first attempt I may tell him about subduing large animal methods such as hobbling and a twitch. But not YET. I want to hear the epic tale of the "goat tried to eat me."

    Maybe not he's good at research and like, he is building a steel house, so like, the goats can't eat STEEL I don't think. We'll see.

    Talked to the husband.

    Oh my God, I'm exhausted. I would not have gone there for like 3 tablets that I now probably don't have to take, but I guess it was a LOT easier to be like "Okay I don't actually want those and yes, I know I am nearing the land of a heart attack.

    You shouldn't pet peeve sometimes. It's why I loathe working with BP clients. I know too much. Heh.

    I am going to continue watching "Insatiable" which is one of the BEST Netflix offerings of all time if you ask me. Over dinner. Which is soonish. It's about a fat chick who becomes a pageant person, but the entire thing is LUDICROUS but so good, you love it anyway. Those are some actors who know how to COMMIT.

    LOL flavors. Yes, I have not been mixing lately.

    I still haven’t been able to get in a comfortable enough position to have a short mixing session yet. Kind of glad I bought some pre made juice when I tore my thumb tendon this summer.

    god this year has really sucked here n there. So that’s saved my azz from running out of juice ESPECIALLY now with a FULL ban here in Massachusetts. Although I have a feeling if I put out an SOS to my ECF family members I wouldn’t have had to worry about running out of SOMETHING to vape. You all are so great.

    this time around though both hands work so I’m trying not to go back to my sub ohm tanks. Really want to save those coils for true vapeocalypse moments which I pray never happen.

    so after 2 weeks of rotating as many RBAs I can physically get to, I finally was able to have my sister set up a little space on my nightstand and bed so I could at least rewick and clean my coils. The flavor on some of them has become well shall we say- less than fruitful or whatever else the flavor is supposed to taste like lol!!! Yuk!

    So I was able to get 1 RDA and 2 or 3 RTAs rewicked and coils burned. They all could’ve used a thorough taking apart and washing but desperate times call for desperate measures.

    I used a damp paper towel with a drop of Dawn to clean out the inside of the tank and drip tips best I could. Would’ve been nice to wash out and rinse the decks too but that wasn’t happening. Everything got a wipe down with a moist towel of warm water on the outside including the mods I’ve been using.

    So I feel much better about my “cleaner” vape gear. Now if we could only find a way to get me up a steep set a stairs and into a full bath then I’d feel a lot better about a cleaner me.

    The only thing important on my “agenda” for tomorrow is to get my hair washed. Use the sink you say- well that’s easier said than done when you can only stand one one leg and that one leg is on a waiting list for a full knee replacement from playing way too many sports in my younger years.

    Basically, my “good” leg is in fact the worst of my two legs but is now responsible to bear the brunt of almost all my body weight. I couldn’t do that before breaking my hip so it’s been a real struggle with the physical therapist trying to think outside the box especially as we’re trying to figure out how I can get up n down the stairs to get out or up to the full bath on the 2nd floor.

    and to think I thought it was a pita tearing my thumb tendon ! Ha ha ha! Little did I know what the future held and only one week after the light of my life passed away. Jeesh. What a .... up.

    If priority item no 1 is successful then I’ll rewick some more RBAs. Annnnnd depending on pain levels and finding a comfortable or at least a barely comfortable position I just might attempt a couple of quick VERY simple mixes from the thread @Zazie has been wonderful enough to organize for the community.

    if I could get at least 2 maybe 3 recipes mixed up I’d feel like I had a successful day. Successes come in very small increments right now lol!!

    I’ve got a bunch of liquid from vape wild that I don’t know what to do with. If you want it, it’s yours. I don’t remember the flavors right now but can get it out and look if you’re interested.

    I would love them. That’s what I initially used when I 1st started. If serious pm me with a postal rate which I’ll send to you thru PayPal!!! I can’t tell you how much this would help until I’m on my feet again- ok no jokes lol!!

    Setting 3 nets today. And then lifting our 4 that are fishing. Gonna be a looooooong day. Probably will be only able to lift 2, filling our boat to the brim with fish. Good thing I don't have to drive this fish up north tonight, otherwise I'd be getting home at like 8 or 9pm. Everything is so stretched out, it's ridiculous. 45 minute drive to boat, hour drive to nets, hour drive back, 2 hour and 15 minutes drive to drop off fish, hour and 30 minute drive back. Rinse, repeat.

    I'm hoping to finally give my doggystyles a whirl maybe tonight or tomorrow, finally cleaned them and they are now dry for reassembly, coiling, and wicking. When it comes to projects or mixing, things move at glacial speed when I'm working 12-15+ hours nearly every day. I got these doggystyles 3 weeks ago! Lol

    No big plans today. I’m going to take Fran’s advice and try some grapefruit with my grape mix. I should pack up a few mods I have in rotation. It’s getting a little ridiculous with 12 mods and tanks plus three pod units.

    Nah, 12 is normal :) No comment on the pods ;)

    I figure, since flavors are for kidz, if I keep enough flavors in rotation, I'll never get old. :lol:
    I like that logic, I will keep my 14 in rotation.
