Hah! You saying I won’t have to beg you to take some this year ;)?
I am happy to eat an orange a day--or more, depending on how big they are--for the duration of the season. I wonder how many bulk-rate boxes that would add up to?

    And speaking of. I found some 1.2Ω Sceptre coils at vaporfi--anyone familiar with them? Most other places are either out (including Ecigmafia) or very expensive.
    I have purchased from them several times with no issues.

    More than you and I can afford lol! To mail them North is always iffy because they might freeze in the plane/truck hold, leaving you with a very expensive box of mush. My MIL sends them to her BFF in Green Bay (every January when they get ripe) in a small styrofoam cooler, but then you have to pay for food grade shipping.... about $75 for a dozen or so.

    Thanks, Rose. I bought 6 more boxes of 1.2Ω Sceptre coils, which brings my grand total to 11 boxes. I got a nice deal as a first time customer, including free shipping. I'm happy. Now I need my Sceptres to get here.

    I think I'm done shopping for a while. I may get more nic around Thanksgiving, maybe more coils once I know how I like the Sceptre, but I'm really good for now.

    When the dust settles, I'll probably buy a scale for DIY, maybe more flavors, batteries, etc.
    Thank you all in this thread for your help! Now I feel like I can exhale. :wub:

    I love oranges, but not $75/dozen's worth. Darn. I live in the wrong part of the country for this.

    The ones you sent me last year made it just fine, but that was late in the season, I think.

    I got my scale from Amazon.

    There are two that come highly recommended in the DIY thread--I wrote the brands and models down somewhere. I mix by volume, but I always had commercial eliquid on hand. Now that I'm going to go full time DIY, I want to have a scale--I think. :D

    See I was buying into the Scepter deal but I REFUSE to get something and then not be able to gel the parts. I was getting annoyed, I was like "the FDA sucks." They are gonna make our lives HARDER SOONER than anyone realizes..... I am sorry I have had my dealings with the FDA and importation on numerous occasions and they will be BACKED by like. the Big Tobacco who will funnel them money like no ones business.

    So, feeling deprived I got the Asmodius Lustro in PURPLE I love that mod it's one of my absolute favorites: sturdy, compact (I don't know how they get 2 batteries in there, great handfeel for like 17 bucks and no shipping cost from Vapor Range and yeah, they are trying to get out of the biz ASAP I think.

    I can't say I blame them. If I was say Zen, I'd be at their door with blazing pitchforks although that guy seems WAY to smart for that but I bet he FEELS like it.

    Bummer. Bummer of a day. I got all my training done at lest and like yoga approaches.; Two setups to fix (after dinner. I think we will be eating canned soup I refused to go the grocery store because I bought ALL the stuff the husband wanted for chocolate chip cookies an it was NOT cheap starting from scratch with all the ingredients and he did not cook them. He is refusing to drive my car. We will probably wind up skeletons.

    When we had a car the last time. I drove him to work almost every day. Course. l had important meetings and stuff regarding retrieving my kid into my legal custody etc. But you'd THINK he would go to Walmart one day . I am WHIPPED and currently trying to find a pdoc who will endorse my valium habit I CANNOT go back to dropping things man, and ALSO I CANNOT uh, shake and tremor like I did. It sucks especially combined with Adderall. I mean I get it. The other stuff. I can do without but MAN I am a mess at present.

    Yeah I get the opioid crisis but that as been going on for decades. Don't make DUMB laws that scare docs, .EDUCTATE!!

    The annoying thing is I was NOT anxious with the valium the doc gave it to me for a back throw out and I was like "Dude this SO works for my tremor and we agreed on an amount and WELL the other stuff I can do without soon no Ambien soon no temazepam but like 50 mg of Valium is NOTHING to play at. You can take the sleepy barely able to work month or so, but QUADRUPLE IT WITH PAIN PAIN anxiety, ect. as you detox. It is bad. . If my doc had told me the freaking scheduled medication situation was coming I would have been OH HELL NO I WILL JUST WEAR A SIGN THAT SAY WILL SPILL NO SEIZURE. HAVE NO FEAR.


    However it happens I am NOT looking forward to tapering 50 mg of Valium. I was not anxious when I took it, and I was not anxious AFTER I took it I was sleepy then FINE. OPTIMAL. Not dropping stuff. ;Yes I have tried other meds they don't work. Gah.

    Oh well gonna use psychology today, they offer a free consult. Getting on that next week;

    Husband is painting sort of yay !

    Anna,

    I would see about getting your medical records sent to you ASAP so that you have them in hand when you go for a new appointment. If a doctor refuses to refill your medication without reviewing them, you know that's not a doctor for you. There are doctors that would refuse that much Valium on principle, without knowing the patient. Also, psych appointments may be hard to get (they are in Texas), so I'd have several appointments lined up. You can always cancel them later. I really feel for you being in the position you are in now. I hope you find someone soon that understands you.

    What unscrews? Need to be prepared .


    The top part of the squonker button tends to unscrew, but it is easily corrected with superglue.

    Trust me. A scale is so much easier.

    I trust you. :) I just never really needed one. I was just playing with my DIY--here and there. But now it will all change, I'm afraid.
    I’m betting you’ll end up loving mixing your own after you get by the learning curve. You have lots of help here.
