I've always been 'that' Mom. The one that will tell my sons friends when they are screwing up and sit and listen to them talk about things they can't talk to their own parents about. I'm that Mom that happily makes enough food for however many kids are sitting in my house at the time. I'm that Mom that is fussing the whole time I'm making them nachos at 3 in the morning because they are hungry and can't get up from their World of Warcraft raid because their trying to down a new boss. I'm that Mom that has her own World of Warcraft account with semi=geared healers so I can help them farm 5 mans for gear for their alts. I'm that Mom that always has Pepsi but makes them drink water or lemonaid. I'm that Mom that screamed bloody murder and turned off the router for a week when someone stole one of my cigs or got caught with their own, but once they turned 18 I handed them an ashtray. I am THAT Mom. They all love me and they all respect me. They all call me Momma.

I have a large pantry in my kitchen with roll out drawer/shelves. One and soon to be two of those have been taken over by vaping supplies. My son likes to drop by with his friends (He's 21 now) and since I'm trying to get him off analogs too I've purchased enough supplies for the house rules to have changed.

NO SMOKING!! (Also pull your damned pants up. If you can't keep from showing me your underwear I'll get you a piece of rope)

Need a nicotine fix? "You're welcome to step out to the street... No, not the porch, not the yard, not the sidewalk, all the way out to the street. However if you don't want to do that you're welcome to grab a battery (there are at least 6 always charged and ready to go) from the pantry. Try one of the ones with the dial on the bottom, you can adjust those to your liking. No, the big fat ones (X6) are mine, put it back."

A plastic lipstick stand holds small bottles of juices. Since it has 4 rows of six slots each I have each flavor matched with a CE4 or CE5 so there are always at least 12 flavors available and clearly labeled ranging from 6mg to 18mg.

"Pick a flavor and screw it on that battery. Now grab you a clean drip tip out of that bowl. Yes you can use one of my pretty ones, but you'll need that little silver adapter there. No, not the rotatable ones, those are mine. No, you are not using one of my Protanks or my Iclear put it back. Want a pretty Protank? Here, give Momma 20 bucks and you can have these two brand new batteries, a charger and two Mini clones, I'll even fill them with juice for you. Give me 25 and I'll let you have this pretty case and this ecig holder I made that you can clip on your belt loop (since you don't use it for a belt!)"

I have a feeling I'll be learning DIY juices soon so I can supply juices too. For a small fee... like yard mowing or gutter cleaning.

Keep in mind.... I've been vaping for 17 days. I'm expecting my second Fasttech delivery tomorrow and the mailman thinks I've gone insane getting 2-5 ebay packages a day.

I have a feeling my ratio of money saved on cigs to money spent on vaping gear isn't going to be 1/1 for a very, very long time.

But for at least an hour or so a few times a week they aren't puffing on analogs... and I still have something I can Mother them about.

:2cool:

Welcome, and congratulations. Yeah, our apartment was always "that" place, that had wall to wall kids all weekend. I'd do it again, too. Kids need someplace and someone they can go to. You done good, Momma, and are still doing good. Keep up the good work, and make sure those kids know they are worth something to someone.

Awww you guys and gals are so nice!! LOL

My son came by tonight, just left as a matter of fact. I surprised him with MBV's Arnold Palmer. He absolutely loves the drink. I just got it today and quick steeped it in hot water so I could let him try it.

He took the bottle with him along with a couple batteries and tanks for himself and some Frozen Lemonade from Hoosierecig for his GF (she smokes menthol).

Momma's gonna win this one :D
