I won’t question why anyone does what they do in grief. Especially in those first moments.

I saw it coming but I was still in shock. When my husband stopped breathing I wondered around the house for about 20 minutes. I didn’t believe it had happened. And after I was sure what I was seeing was true, I had no idea what to do. Nobody had told me. All I could think was to call 911.

Next thing I remember I was surrounded by police and EMS. They brought the defibrillator kit in, started taping heart monitor things to his chest. I panicked. I said he’s got a DNR. He didn’t, but I couldn’t let them try to bring him back. I guess that would look pretty bad to someone else, but he wouldn’t have wanted it, and I couldn’t bear to watch him die again, and he absolutely would have. Just more suffering to be had down that path.

And the Chief stayed with me after everyone else had gone, and told me to call someone. He didn’t want to leave me alone. So I called my SIL. All I could say was “this is the call. I’m sorry. But this is the call”

Thank god she figured out what I meant. She picked up my daughter on the way.

And the chief stood on the porch with me while I waited for her. It was February. He asked if I was cold, but I couldn’t feel a thing. I feel incredibly thankful whenever I think of that, he just stood with me. It was terribly kind, more than he could know.

When my sil and daughter got there, my daughter went straight to the kitchen, grabbed shot glasses out of the cupboard, tequila from the freezer, and poured us all a shot. She’s not a drinker, but that was her way of being close to her dad.

We all do whatever it takes.

The other day I won a Purge mods ultem squonk mod. I've been debating between getting a Spade mech or a new stacker tube mod. Now my next buy will be a stacker but now I have to decide which one. Too many choices and not enough money.

Holy Crap batman!

I'll trade my z-Biip win for your purge win!?!

Haha.. hey congratulations for real! I bet your super excited!

Some minor shinies this week (might not even count as shinies) ... a few colorful little atty stands and a couple side-fill Arctic Dolphin squonk bottles (as I already have in one Athena):

    Those atty stands are so cute. Where did you get them?

    I really like those atty stands. Where did you find them?

    I haven’t done a coil shot in a while so here goes. Wee little wasp nana RDA.

    But does it vape?

    Well, it’s at .38 ohms, which is about where my one bunker is. But dang. That’s a LOT of air through that smallish AF. That’s a LOT of clouds! Mike Vapes would be proud of this ol’ granny!

    I’m sitting on my porch and people are slowing down to look and make sure my house isn’t on fire.

    Not that clouds are my thing, I’m more of a flavor chaser. But if you do want clouds, this will get you there. Holy crap!

    Which squonker from Vandy Vape were you looking at? If it's the regulated device I don't think you'll find it overly complicated. If it's your first device there may be a slight learning curve, but you'll have it mastered in a day.

    I was looking at the Simple EX. But the Pulse looks good too.

    @Opinionated looks like we're both getting a Z Biip. I never win stuff so I was shocked. Well nit totally true, I won once before and it was from Innokin as well. That was a Zenith/CF mini and an EQ pod. Not my normal stuff but ended up really liking both and they're regular pocket carrys for me when I'm out. This will be a nice little addition.

    Would've loved that Purge squonk though. Congrats @Don29palms

    Nord aio is good but a bit too much airflow.
    With mine I plugged 1 air hole on each side and flavor is much better.
    Good battery life and the .6 mesh coil is very nice.

    I don't mind the airflow most of the time. How did you plug yours? Sometimes I just block a few of the holes with my thumb and then fire with my index finger. Not too much trouble. I'm using the mesh coil too. I tried my gf's aio with the regular coil but the flavor is kind of muted.

    I don't have any experience with vandy vape products.... That Simple EX looks interesting. There are lots of videos on both the S.EX and the Pulse so you can become familiar with them and how they work. And, of course, you have this great place to bounce questions off the wall.

    By the way, are you looking at the Pulse regulated device? The only reason I ask because I believe there is a Pulse mechanical device as well. If it is the mechanical one, please state so because there are some important things to learn so your experience can be a good and safe one.

    I had an old oversized oring from something, that happens to be the same size as the airflow cutout.
    On the inside of the airflow I mean, so I cut 2 small peice and plugged 1 hole on each side. I imagine almost anything could block it from the inside cutout. I like the oring because mine is black and you dont know it's there if you dont look closely.

    The regular nord started to leak slightly on me. Has to be the plastic pods. Same coils in the aio have been bone dry. Well the 2 I have used so far anyway.
