    My issue is that I have to also do my Mom’s shopping as she can’t walk to shop and she has never been on a computer and she has no clue what to buy. After I’ve done the shopping for years I’m just out of ideas. Last year I bought and wrapped 85 gifts between me and Mom. Just ridiculous. Takes away from the joy of the holiday.

    I’m down to two brothers and one nephew (from me…barely started Mom’s). Any practical ideas within $25 - $30?
    Any hints on what kind of stuff they like?

    They are just putting too much on you. My mother in law had my wife do her shopping last year. Like others here have mentioned, it’s ridiculous to keep buy gifts for adults that need nothing but we keep doing it.

    @hittman and/or @bigbob2322 --- I need your help, please. A longtime member is looking for a decent single 18650 mod to replace a very old Joyetech eGrip II. It needs to take a Geekvape Avocado 24 tank.

    This thread...


    I have no clue what the current best single 18650 mods are. If you guys can help that would be so awesome. Thanks!!! :thumb:

    ETA: Or point me in the general direction.

    No idea. I’m not close with them. They have everything with expensive tastes. That makes it much harder.
    I have the older gs of this family that fails to give me any ideas. He's getting a giftcard

    I don’t even know what an egrip is. I’ll try to look it up.
     
    Vaped Hangsen tobaccos all the time when I started vaping.
    Ultra late to this convo FranC but are Hangsen still a reputable company and would/could you recommend their Golden Virginia to a relative noob like myself who is still seeking the next-nearest taste to an actual cigarette?

    Thanks Hitt!!! I totally appreciate your help. I never would have thought about the Kriemhild. And I was looking at Element Vape where they are out of many mods. :facepalm: But I did find and post some possibilities for him via SM.

    The best I can do is tell you to give it a try. I have never vaped that one.

    I would suggest the Varoresso Target Gen 80s, it's a nice single 18650 device that can take up to a 25mm atomizer.

    How about a Christmas cookie tin with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies? That's what I used to give my brother. One year I decorated a plain white tin with his high school mascot and personalized it with his name and jersey number. You could get a tin with their favorite sports team.

    Best gift I ever got when my eldesg sister sent her homemade cookies and snacks to me for Christmas (she stopped - so disappointing) . . . :D

    Good morning. The four day weekend was a nice break. Can’t wait for my vacation the end of December. With holidays and weekends I’ll be off for ten days. For now it’s back to work. I hope things pick up. Last week was dead.

    Had to cancel my order. Didn't have 50-50 in 0 nicotine. Wasn't paying attention when I ordered. I don't use nic anymore, and, actually prefer 80-20 PG/VG.
    Thank you anyway. Forgot to tell you sooner. Sorry. And thank you again for your help. I'm sure there is a lemon flavor out there I will like with 0 nic and higher PG.... :)

    Morning, mixers.

    At least at our location, the heavy rain / snow was a no show. Don't feel bad about the no show snow :)

    But that's still the latest guess, so maybe it just took a detour...
