Tired now. Hit up the mini golf course with the kids, and took them to a Sea Lion show - of course in the busiest mall in the city so not just that but wading through crowds of people. I think I need a few days off of my vacation before I go to work, 4 kids is just so tiring, I'm 32 going on 200.

I've never had to raise more than one at at time. I can't imagine how much 4 would wear you out. But I'll tell you what, I'd trade you in a heartbeat :)

Naw, I've grown attached to the little guys. Besides, I only have a few more years left with the oldest, so I'm making the best of it ;)

Now there you go! Different tune when you look at things overall. You know, it's easy to get caught up in the small stuff. Forget the big picture. I do it all the time. But I catch myself and turn it around.

You probably haven't read a lot of my posts. I'm the type who'll tell you things that most people would never admit to. Glad to see you here and I hope you stick around. Good folk here, good advice and we stay off the stinkies.

Got my 1 year anniversary a week from today. I don't know if I'd have been able to do that without the support I've received on this thread. Thank you all!

Come on back now, ya'hear?

I'm really waiting for my 1 year...my life insurance premiums will drop by 70%! I've gone way past the hump though and I'm pretty happy. I started smoking at around 14, quit Nov 8th and haven't looked back at all, actually dropped my nic levels slowly on my juice down from 24mg to currently using 6, was at 3 but I was going through too much juice...not helping much more - I think I just like vaping period so I'll just go back to 3, and maybe start trying out a few bottles of 0mg and see how that goes.

As far as the year, just like all things in life, it's the ride rather than the destination :) You'll get there but then what. 2nd year :) (I am excited about mine though so I totally understand!)

Seems like you found yourself to Reoville pretty quick? If so you did much better than I and I'd even dare say most.others. Took me a long time to break even....

I smoked over 40 years and was at 2.5 PAD. I started with my juice at 24mg, Switched to 18. But I vape about 2.5ml a day which is a lot less than some folk. Then again, I don't cloud chase and to each their own.

One of the things I like is that when I wake up, I don't have to have an analog anymore. I go make my coffee, get that ready and then have a short vape session. Before I was grabbing for my lighter before my feet hit the ground.

If I'm going out for half an hour I don't need to worry if I've got my lighter and stinkies. I can easily go much longer than that with nothing. Didn't used to be that way. It all gets better with time....

I lucked out for Reoville. Started out with an Ego which worked to quit initially. First week went to a Nautilus + iStick wasn't bad. Flavour smacked me in the face. Quickly moved to mechanical mods and RDA's....LOVED that, except for constantly dripping, and of course that was when all red lights ended for me - the second the top cap of my RDA came off LOL. Grabbed a Sigelei to try a true box mod. Loved that for a while. Spent some time researching Reo's and was lucky enough to get PIF'd one and so far haven't been able to put it down today.

A few months ago taking a dremel to a new RBA (Even a clone) was unthinkable, had this baby in my hands and bought one to attack with my cutting disks and am SO glad I did.

And, I'll add, I've probably had more stress in my life over the past year, though I know others have suffered as well, than most people who've quit since I did. And I didn't go back. So, Neo, if you ever are having a problem PM me. I'll give you my phone number. I'll help you if I can......

You did better than I. My first kit I won't mention. Then I went to Ego, tried all kinds of things with it. Went to mechs, all types. A lot of attys. I got tired of every darn thing leaking on me. And I'd learned a bit about dripping. And upside down dripping with 6ml was all it took. All my other stuff is in a box, not touched in months. I'm just waiting for a friend who wants to quit and I can set them up with no cost but juice.

That's what I'm doing, I doubt I'll be selling off any of my mods. I have a friend at work who's low on $$ since he just had his first baby and has been interested in Mechs so I think when he comes over next time I'll set him up with a pair of my good 18650's, his choice of one of my good clones and an atty of his choice. Gives me a good reason to sit back and teach him how to wrap coils too, and I have a LOT of spare wick he can have. My wife just recently gave away our Ego setup to one of her friends as well as a PIF, I handed her my Nautilus + Istick that she initially thought looked stupid and is now in love with it. I love watching the evolution of vapers too, cause it all seems to end here in reoville! Rob created the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Thanks for the offer and I'll always keep that in mind. Fortunately this has been a good year for me, NEARLY out of my ancient stupid late-teen debts, my career is going well and I was lucky enough this year to catch a friend of mine who's also in the Army who had some personal issues, before he did something stupid; so he spent the holidays with us and is doing fantastic. I couldn't ask for anything more right now :)

Well, Neo, sounds like you're a pretty nice guy. Glad to have met you. My name is Fleet. Should you ever care to share yours just post it and someone will get it into the list. But you don't have to. Not a requirement at all.

I love PIF. Just in life be it here or elsewhere. We're all brothers and sisters........

Good Morning REOVille. Another rainy day in the Carolinas, I think my yard is close to soup now. This Carolina red clay is tricky. When it's dry too long it literally is brick making material, but when it's saturated with rainfall it becomes a mushy, slimy mess. At least there are Playoff Games this weekend.

Have a Safe and Blessed Day, and a Great Weekend :)

Recieved my new to me REO LP Grand today and modded one of my old A7 RDAs for it, and set a 29 gauge twisted .5ohm coil on it, and loaded up the bottle with some Orange Dream Sickle. Added a Samsung 25R battery and things are good!!

My A7's were all bottom-fed anyway - what did you need to modify?
