    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?
    Yeah,I do.

    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.
    I so agree with you. Heartbreaking :(

    I am so impressed with people being able to make their own mods! Good for you!

    I don’t any more but did back then out of necessity to have something that lasted longer than a 510 battery. I always had two charging at any time. It seems like a lifetime ago.

    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.
    The truth is, I quit before (over a year ago) and I love vaping. A few months ago slipped back (only about 4 a day) and quit again (for 10 days) Unfortunately, my living situation is causing me lots of stress and now I'm smoking again. If it wan't for the stress, I could quit easily. Still love vaping, but never know from day to day if I might end up homeless. I really don't want to explain the details... would rather talk about DIY and vaping.

    Not only is it pretty it is vaping like a champ. Now it's settled in it is definitely my favorite one shot and it's settling in nicely. I decided to try one because it was so weird. I had no idea it was a top deck tank (I usually hate them) but the flavor is INCREDIBLE for a loose MTL vaper although you can really close it down.

    I do not even want to think about that house. We put EVERYTHING in it, all our savings, new room, hell the KITCHEN ALONE was like worth over 60K and we had drop stainless sink and it was AMAZING. A lot of it we can't even put back in it will have to travel to WV with us, the drop sink would just look WEIRD without all the cabinets. We are going for basic, and functional. Our relator just emailed us homes in our area were selling for about 160 K in about 15 days so that is good. We shall see, I guess. But it was more the SHEER labor the husband put in. It was beyond incredible. He said when he entered the dwelling he took a quick look around., cried for a while, and videotaped everything (our freaking insurance company declined to view the tape.)

    It was TERRIBLE. I had no idea how much he had done he had asphalted the driveway and put down railroad ties and he was painting the exterior and had even hand crafted our street number in wood, on the gate, which he had painted.

    I really wanted to kill a) myself b) my doctor c) my job and d) EVERY PERSON in AZ. Soon I do yoga but I am SUPER glad I researched that interview. Turns out it was a little ah, different and there were things like, I was like "I do not even remember the AMSA levels of Ambulatory Withdrawal for Alcohol" and I am supposed to be MANAGING them? LOL I brushed up.. You just can't embarrass yourself in an interview like that I mean.... That's fundamental. Some clinical but maybe more managerial than I would like. Oh, I can write policies and procedures and track stuff and supervise but if I do it more than 50% of the time, I get stabby. So, we'll see but I am thinking this will not be the one.

    I feel you and I am sorry. I discovered ,at base, I am a stress smoker. This has improved of late although I did smoke one recently and don't regret it. I say I am a forever quitter because if the husband ever died on me I'd buy a pack of Black American Spirits (my favorite) and like smoke them through my grief process. I KNOW I would. I have some really stale packs around the house and I don't even remove them because I am like, "That's a waste, if I am GOING to smoke, I am GOING to smoke" so why buy more. They are only tempting when I am INSANELY stressed and I will do what is needed to obtain them.

    It's usually like, once every 6 to 8 months now, but it was more before. Don't beat you up, life is hard enough.

    Don't worry about the smoking right now. I am so sorry about the stressful situation you are in! I would suggest you keep vaping even if you are smoking. When you are ready to leave the cigs behind, make sure you allow yourself enough nic in your eliquid to make a return to smoking less likely!

    I wish I could focus to mix. It's hard. I have a ton of flavors that are 6 months old that are untouched. Yikes!
    I went to work yesterday. Had to go "off" because I couldn't find a N-95 mask. Was able to find a equivalent type mask. Had the same problem as last week. I almost died. Wearing one for 9 hours makes me have breathing problems. I have no problems wearing surgical masks. However, they are worthless with active covid folks. I decided to hang up my nursing hat for awhile. Hopefully, they will find a cure soon.
    At work they wanted folks to reuse the same mask. I know they have enough for me. I was told I would get a new one each day since I'm high risk. So much for a employer's word. They have 19 patients infected with 9 employee's infected. The infection control is not happening at this facility. It is why nursing homes/rehab centers are a hot spot for these infections.

    Tomorrow, hubs and I are going for a free covid test sponsored by the health dept and national guard.

    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 use Las Palmas only. Once WM substituted Old El Paso sauce and it was horrible. Adjust ingredients to your liking, especially the onion.

    Sorry about your situation mate. Looks like several have offered solid advice already. Have you considered meditation to help ease the stress you are experiencing? There are several different kinds from guided to fairly hardcore. Just a thought. :)

    I don't know that brand, but I will look for it. I am in South Texas and I bet if I can't find the Las Palmas, I can find another good enchilada sauce here. Thanks!

    I have been vaping for 10 years now. The only thing that has saved me is: targeting my cravings for tobacco. I try to vape my tobacco flavoring every day. I do make sweet flavors but they are not my favorite. I've been using Flavorah tobacco flavors for about 4-5 years now. I have used Hangsen and Inawera tobacco absolutes as well. I don't care for Flavorart or TPA flavors.
