    I thought I wanted a Aegis Pod and your review pushed me to order it directly from GV. It's been shipped, have no idea when I'll get it. They gave me some tracking # that tells me nothing.

    Where did you order from? If it’s geekvape then my experience has been shipping is slow. Try tracking via 17track.net and if that doesn’t work then email them

    I am still using the aegis pod. It’s really one of the best I’ve tried.

    Any time we had a vehicle that wouldn't start it was always the battery. Never had a problem with the charging system.

    I don’t think there are as many problems with the charging system on newer vehicles as older ones. I think it used to be fairly common for a diode failure in the alternator. You used to be able to replace the diode on some.

    I think Vaper1960 means the alternator. My wife's car (Kia Soul) wouldn't start since she never drives it anymore so I bought a charger/jumpstarter and it also checks the alternator. If the alternator is bad it won't charge the battery while driving and the battery will keep dying.

    Just put a meter on the battery. If it’s under 12 volts while running then the alternator probably isn’t working.

    Yup. We had our share of customer alternator failures years ago. Not so much in more recent times.

    Fran, I’m trying the inw just berries. I definitely taste raspberry and blackberry but don’t really taste blueberry in it like the description says. To me the raspberry is the dominant flavor. It’s a little sweet to me. There is a bit of a bite to it on the tongue.

    OK, I'll be sure to mix with something that lowers the sweetness a tad. Most Blueberries are hard to taste IMO.

    Yes from GV and they gave me a "US Express" tracking number that gives me no info. I'll try 17track.net.

    No results.

    Edit: Tried the tracking # at the USPS site and got "USPS Currently Awaiting Package" so that's something I guess.

    I just slept for 18 hrs and I will get to that, It was awesome but I can't quite catch up Heh,

    I had one of them boxy old green Volvos and the alternator kept dying. It was really annoying because no mechanic could figure it out. I finally got rid of it. YEAH Volvos are like indestructible except when you hit, oh 230K you have to replace EVERYTHING and parts and labor are not cheap.

    I will say I owned a Saab, I forget the model the one everyone had, I forget. I loved that car and it got totaled JUST after the parents like, gifted me it, and I was waiting to turn left, totally not in motion, JUST leaving getting my emissions test done. Some kid in a jeep was going 200 miles an hour and it was (rarely) snowy and like, flipped over onto like a mom with kids and she got pushed into me.

    The kid died instantly it was an OPEN jeep, so it was rather gory. I was actually more traumatized by the poor mom. BOTH her kids were like bleeding and like after the shock faded like, she was crying and screaming and stuff, and saying, "Oh GOD HELP ME." I wasn't even a mom yet but I was just like Jesus H. Christ and called 911 before my car even stopped moving. I could see it would be a BAD scene and it was. I wound up kind of shocky on the curb asking my dad if he could come get me because the car was undrivable. It was the first times someone like, died right in front of me. Mom and kids were okay.

    So the insurance company totaled it despite my begging everyone to like, let me just fix it myself I *loved* that car.

    Holy bejesus, though I got that application in sorta . I will say it was one of the best resumes I have ever made, and it is now saved forever in USA government jobs. But I was just like "THIS CANNOT be the only federal job" and it turned out I had some really weird filter on there so I removed it and there are jobs for me EVERYWHERE. It was so DAMN relieving I MUST say and I think I screwed up anyway because you get preference if you have worked for the Feds in any capacity and I worked for the NIH out of college, and like, it was gene sequencing though and stuff and well, IDK. I'm NOT as stressed out though and in a few days I am going to comb THE site, and see what else would be useful like uploading transcripts I don't have and figuring out the NIH thing and whatnot.

    But I should most certainly be able to go someplace, and even if it winds up being North Dakota (although I will try to avoid that) we will not be in Arizona. I will be very selective in my search though I do NOT want to wind up where I am now, amen and hallelujah.

    I will also say Federal SW jobs tend to be more reasonable as far as work required. There is even a separate disability track and this gives you points sometimes.... it's the oddest system.

    The husband is part native and that gives you a JILLIION points. He has told me repeatedly that he has heard "anyone" can join the TO tribe, although it may be an exaggeration honestly although tribes like do enjoy swelling their numbers. Spouse of Indian will give me many points.

    Yes, indeed and I am sure I will wind up doing ALL the research on that. But whatever.

    I feel less stressed as hell now, and honestly, I do not care at the moment. I had a doc appointment and he sent me all this sleep hygiene crap I mean I don't blame him and yes I TRY to practice it but JEEZ when you are manic, you are manic, and that is About It.

    Yoga and calling the boy are like, all I plan to do I hurt ALL over from working on that application. That's what made me submit in any case, I mean HELL and damnation I worked SO hard and fast I was like "I WILL apply" dang it. But now I feel more chill.

    Hey guys, so I just got some base juice, 100vg, and was wondering if it's like normal for the aroma to be 100pg, like do I just add a few drops of the aroma to the base juice?

    If it's not a premade liquid you may not have seen the options but I think you can order 50/50 or 100% VG or PG. That may have just been the default or something. What is your nic strength?

    Also when you say "base juice" do you mean your nic only and you plan to add everything else later? Also I found with aroma adding a few drops to the TANK was best for me honestly, at least at first. I never tried premixing it with anything else. Depending on how sensitive you are to WTA a few drops in 100 ml of WHATEVER may not do much.

    You could also email Aroma and ask for recommendations. They are a helpful lot for selling the vape liquid equivalent for liquid gold.

    I don't need it anymore but it was helpful for transitioning.

    I may try the RF Blackberry tomorrow or maybe the FLV Red Raspberry. What I read on the Raspberry said it's more flavorful at .5% so that's what I mixed.

    Wow! That’s not much. Let me know what you think about it. I might have to add it to my wishlist.

    Several years ago a coworker and I were going to lunch and we watched a woman on her cell phone run a stop sign and t boned an older lady in a Saturn. We stopped and ran over but the lady was unconscious so we called 911. The lady that hit her was probably around 25-30 and got out of her car with her cell phone to her ear. She didn’t even touch her brake. The police interviewed us afterward and we told them how the lady ran the sign. We found out later that the older lady died. I never did hear if there were charges brought against the younger woman.

    I believe you should get close to 12.6v while running if everything is copacetic.

    It’s been a long time since I checked on a car but most small twin cylinder engines like you find on lawn tractors will read over 13.

    It actually, oddly is. If they want to hire me, I'd be unlikely to say no, although I think perhaps my chances are not so high. IDK. Maybe it will just be like "OMG WE WANT YOU MAN" although somehow I think that would be way too easy. Etc.

    I'm just saying, if not there then someplace. It's just a relief I can find a job, probably that pays me the approximate amount of like, what I am making now. LOL I am one of the few people who actually like the IHS it just tends to be very rural but I don't see how it would be more so than like, Douglas.

    No I am just relieved I may be able to find a job when I need one etc. In general.
