Ach, bad enough the damn NY flavor ban. My daughter, bless her heart, tried to be a good person when an elderly lady approached her in her bank branch ad needed help cashing a cashier's check. She needed it for medicine (right) but didn't have a bank account, and could my daughter please cash it for her? Even offered my daughter part of it to entice her to help. My daughter of course fell for it and did the "Oh no, of course I'll help you. No need to give me anything, you need it".

Fake cashier's check. Bounced three days after she deposited it. $900. Oldest scam in the book around here and she fell for it.

So much for worrying about rounding out any last orders before the 10/4 cutoff in NY. Now I'll have to ship stuff to her mom's home in CT and wait for her to go visit and return with the "illegal goods".

This scam was going around here about15 years ago, so widespread that the banks would not let us draw money off a deposited check for 3 days. It was a PIA. My husband took to cashing his paycheck at one bank, and depositing some at another branch.


Took me over 6 hours to get those pictures done. 120 pictures, copied on 8 flash drives.

    It was computer things like that that took a lot of time and energy before my Dad's funeral.

    And despite me being the family computer geek - I had a complete brain malfunction ;) My Mum and Sis took over and spent 3 days doing it. But they both loved it - it gave them something to focus on. I spent 3 days on housemaid duty (normally hate housework) and I loved that :D

    Is there anything new or innovative out nowadays or is it just the same old same old. The Vapoesso Gen looks good and a bit different. It’s gotten some decent reviews. Has anyone held one to get a hand feel for it?

    I’ve always liked their products but I wonder why it doesn’t use the omni chip.

    I see there’s a thread on it. I’ll take a look at it I suppose.

    thanks Letitia. Any thing happening with flavorings for DIY?
    Some may have to rebrand. Flavorah for example was specifically designed for vaping and advertised as such so may face restrictions or regulations.

    That’s what I’m afraid of, that it would take all of them together at least three days to do this.

    And also I’d get stuck cleaning.

    My sister did the prints, organizing some into frames or poster board, some are in a tin so her friends can have some if they like.

    There’s no way these guys could have cropped all the scans and unzipped what needed it - they don’t know how they got zipped to begin with.

    Took me a little longer because my laptop crashed so I had to use the desktop, it’s 10 years old and nothing is as up to date as it ought to be.

    Good morning shiners!

    ouch..

    No, not yet. Still have to get all my flavorings together. Plenty of nic though. I still have a lot of retail juice on hand so I'm not pressured, but as with everything else vaping related, a little more buffer is always reassuring.

    yeah it is nice to have that buffer.. :)

    I'm sorry this is all hitting you so hard.. I figure other states will wait and see what pans out as far as the ensuing lawsuits go, and then will follow suit if it looks like they can get away with it..

    Hopefully the following lawsuits will be successful.. fingers crossed.

    Does anyone here have any experience with Vape Wild juice? I have been looking for a Strawberry Cheesecake juice and they seem to have good reviews and prices. I used to go to this dairy farm up the road that sold ice cream when I was a kid, and that was my favorite flavor. Sure sounds yummy for vaping. Thanks! :)

    I'm a huge fan of cheesecake myself (like, real cheesecake.. lol) and have tried a couple blueberry and strawberry cheesecake e-juices, and most of them are too strong on the fruit, which ends up seeming to drown out the cheesecake..

    I'm just about to pull the trigger on some DIY flavoring to give it a go at home, since I really do love cheesecake, but sadly, I've never tried VapeWild's version..

    You may as well give it a try anyway, as even if it's heavy on strawberry it can't be that bad.. one would assume..

    So pull the trigger, you can do it!

    afternoon all.
    there's an expromizer v4 in a cart along with a bubble glass but there they'll need to stay for a week or so. FT slightly more expensive than sourcemore's sale but once shipping is factored in FT wins as it often does.
    i mentioned, briefly, yesterday that today is the anniversary of my mother dying. don't know if it feels like 5 years or not. guess it doesn't matter. she never got to know that I'd quit smoking and switched to vaping. sure she catches the whiff of tangy lime or spiced cinnamon crumble on the astral breeze now and then.
    going to mix 50ml of unflavoured 0mg tonight though and rewick one of the kelpies. i fitted a fresh coil yesterday but then kind of lost all energy and didn't continue.
    i only recently found out what tldr meant despite having been on the net since the very early days. suppose it suits my intermittent ramblings.

    Never tried their juice, but a good strawberry cheesecake like juice I found from The Hype Strawberry a la Mode. I think it was called strawberry cheesecake then they changed the name for whatever reason. I have some on hand that I might have to vape this afternoon now that you planted the idea in my head (it is in regular rotation anyway).

    For those who haven’t had such a devastating loss, 5 years will sound like a long time. It’s not though. Grief isn’t a linear experience. Sometimes a year is a lifetime, and 5 years is five minutes ago.

    I have not been able to cry about my mom yet. I think it feels like the grief I still feel over my husband. I think I’ve just gotten used to feeling that way and not crying.
