Random DIY mixing and More

[stols001]

Yoga means BATHE NOW. Also more More Mirilax OMG steroids are the WORST

BATHING NOW I shall return, etc. I do a little bit of research but mainly it's working on remaining uncrazy. Two more days to go.

Talked to the husband and he is less stressed. I think we both ah, doubt our abilities and decisions given the fact AZ has been unkind, I reminded the husband my precognitive abilities are blocked by the fact that a LOT of Arizonians just LIE man, and I never assume THE LIE when I should, but that I could see "peace and happiness" in WV or I would not accept and that he could like, chill, and if nothing else, AZ would make us appreciate the rest of our lives.

I can't wait to climb a tree. That would make a good first line for a poem really-- climb a tree today.

Yup bath time.

Went to mix bigger bottles of sugar cookie and banana honeycomb custard, got all the flavors and needed supplies out, then went to get bottles, only to find I had run out, I keep all my empties in a draw and have plenty of 30 mils, didn't realize I was out of 120 mil bottles, so everything got put back up.

Order some 120 mil chubby gorilla bottles off amazon, probably could of got cheaper if shopped around, but didn't feel like spending a hour searching to save a buck, and least know I will have by next weekend to mix.

Luckily my wife is a MTL vapor like me, so the 30 mils I mixed last weekend will last her the week.

He was not planning to do anything with it. Every time he goes to Tucson he collects some of his tools (like 2 sheds worth) and brings them here, so we can load up the gigantic container that will ship all our belongings... wherever. You NEVER do maintenance on a rental is my approach. Sure a bit of Drano if needed now and then but NO WORK. That's part of what you pay for.

Do remember the poor husband had TRANSFORMED the home into what is called a "craftsman" home and was almost done. He has lots of tools. He has a CEMENT mixer. He came up to take care of ME after my work jerked me over on my thyroid and then gave me Acute stress disorder from the unwarranted "HIPPA complaint" which gave me 3 days of amnesia and made it hard for me to do things like set my alarm clock consistently for about two months, so he came up to make sure I did not get fired.

So yeah, I don't blame him for not having the drill bits and I FEEL terrible about what happened, if he had been there when the leak happened, well, it would have been shut off immediately and our house would be worth about twice what it is now. Not to mention ALL the ensuing insurance MADNESS. I feel TERRIBLE about it. So, ah, tools are a bit of a sore spot with me. When I saw the house gutted in Tucson and the SMALL remainder of what the husband had done, I cried.

You have to understand he was an engineer/architect but his two grandfathers were carpenters. Yes he reviewed drawings of the Washington monument and caught an error in the scaffolding that stopped it from collapsing but when he was about 5, he got given a set of tools by his grandfathers and told he could build a house from that, and they taught him how.

The demo guys (they were custom homes guys) looked at his work and said "We cannot possibly replace this. We will save what we can." They also asked him how he DID a lot of crap because they had no idea how.

Tools. sorry, bit of a sore subject with me. He has broken his neck twice that work was not EASY.

Brunhilde looks like it was made for the Steampunk. Sharp.

I totally understand the tool thing. My FIL was a master carpenter. Could have started his own hardware store with all the tools, lumber and misc stuff he had. He designed and built our home recording studio. It takes up half our basement. I helped. That was mainly doing what I was told/taught to do. Wife helped too. Learned a lot and I never ran out of questions to ask.

I made similar (layered) on a pizza maker (using a pizza pan with a raised edge) Turned out great and cooked fast. Made many innovative recipes on that thing (besides pizza):

I have that issue too... sometimes have to mix higher % but then days later my taste buds work again and end up diluting everything. Hate to admit it, but have slipped back into smoking again... totally fried my taste buds (I hate myself )

Guilting yourself won’t help. I struggled for years. At one point I was vaping 32mg liquid, using nasal snuff and Swedish snus and still struggled. Over time with the help of vaping, snus, and wta liquid, I was able to finally find a level I could deal with. I’ve quit the snuff and rarely use wta but snus and vaping are my routine now. Just hop back on the wagon when you’re ready.

Just looked at my mini tupperware thingamabob of relatively recent flvr purchases. Discovered more than a few I don't recall ordering or why.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a flavor for a recipe.

 

[vaper1960]

I hate when I realize my coil (drop-in) is done but forget and go ahead and fill the tank the next day (at least I just wasted some unflavored juice) May it rest in peace... it served me well. I have two Aspire Nautilus X tanks (1.8 ohm coils) that serve me well. Changed both coils the same day and have been using both every day. The one with my tobacco mix is still doing well... it's true about sweeter juices clogging up coils. Really need to re-do my RTAs... been kinda lazy today (my son needed help yesterday and I seemed to have pulled a muscle... almost 60 and feeling it) Enjoying my new Vaporesso Xtra (from the contest) The 1.2 ohm pods suck but I love the 0.8 ohm pods (came with four extras) I will be ordering more... my old Innokin EZ Watt (carry around) is worn out so perfect timing on winning this

I surprised even myself and only had a real struggle with it for a bit over a month.

 

[vaper1960]

I was thinking about ordering all my flavors in 30 ml but it turns out the last five I got, two are not very good. I might go 30 ml on the ones I already like but not for new testers. I am very glad I got 30 ml of (FW) Hazelnut! Also liking the (FA) Soho tobacco.
I would really like to send someone a sample of the (FA) Pomegranate to try... just to see if it's me or it really was a bogus bottle. Maybe someone will do a trade (10 ml) of something they don't want/need?

 

[DLKnives]

Oh yum! Recipe please?

Easy! Brown 1lb of hamburger, dice 1/2 onion. Put a big can enchilada sauce (28oz I think) in a pan and warm it up and turn the oven on 350. In a big bowl mix 1lb Mexican shredded cheese, 4oz dices green chiles, 4oz chopped black olives, and the meat and onion. Mix well. On a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil start by dipping corn tortillas in the sauce and laying out 4 of them on the sheet. Then add a "scoop" of meat mix on each tortilla and kind of flatten it as you go. Now I spoon some enchilada sauce on the mixture, then repeat until you have each one 3 layers high. Spoon more enchilada sauce on top nd bake the whole thing for 15 minutes. Done!

I surprised even myself and only had a real struggle with it for a bit over a month.

Figuring out my nic level was frustrating, but once I realized mine was 18 mg. it was no problem putting down the cigs. I know many vapers have reduced to lower levels of nic, but I tried to go from 18 to 12 and that was a huge fail. I might have been able to do it if I were mixing my own liquid and made smaller, gradual reductions, but I am happy at 18 mg. and I don't see any reason to change that.

Oh Yum! Thank you. What brand of enchilada sauce do you use? I like that you mix the cheese in with the chiles and other goodies!

I started at 18mg also. I started mixing about a year in and dropped my level to 12mg shortly after. I’m at 6mg now and don’t expect to drop any further.

Yes, I wish I had begun mixing sooner!

Christ, I am horribly sad about that house. How what happened to it makes you and the husband feel is beyond my imagination. Such a rotten, rotten thing to have happened.

 

[hittman]

Part of the problem back then was the hardware sucked. I was using 32mg in an 801 atty. I started with 510 cigalikes which were popular in 2009. It wasn’t long til I made my own box mods using parts from 510 batteries. Anyone remember stacking tenergy batteries?
