I'm trying to kind of understand at what bypasses on a mod I feel like I know what it's supposed to be it's supposed to run off the battery directly and therefore I would assume it would be based on your build or your coil as to how it hits you know like bypassing the chip as a Mech would but minus the chip. However that was not my experience yesterday when I tried bypass mode. The coil was .54 and it hit like I was smoking sulfur in the depths of hell. I didn't intentionally try bypass I just forgot to take it out of bypass when I was going through all my different modes and there was a commercial coil in it so is that what happened is that why that happened? Can you not use bypass mode with a commercial coil? I know you don't want to use a sub tank on a mech but I thought that was related directly to the 5-10 on a hybrid specifically not sticking out enough to make a proper connection.. oh and this was not a Mech obviously because it had bypass mode. But I'm just tying it back to the directly from the battery blah blah blah stuff

How are you liking the blotto? Thinking I'll pair it with the clutch.
the blotto is excellent. been using it solidly. smooth and flavourful with high capacity. i've stuck to 2.5mm IDs. haven't tried a single.

Good morning all!

@chanelvaps I think my biggest concern would be that inhaling anything could invite infection of that open wound. And it’s not difficult to not inhale vapor, when you’re consciously trying not to, but easy enough to accidentally inhale when you’re not paying attention.

I would likely not be able to lay off the nic for very long at all. I’d just resign myself to the consequences of using another form. But I’d also have a small device, just in case...

And all this is easy to say from out here in the cheap seats. It’s nerve wracking to have surgery, and just when one needs their nic the most, they’re expected to do without. However you decide is best for you to do this comes down to what you feel comfortable with, and I’ll respect and support you. And wish you all the best.

When I had my pleuradesis, which is sticking your lung to your pleura, I smoked straight after. I had had two spontaneous pneumothorax's so they decided to stick one of my lungs because of the risk of them both collapsing at the same time. They also found a big air sack which they isolated and cut off.

I was only 25 years old. I went in promising myself not to smoke but the second day after the op I dragged myself down to the nearest doors and smoked a roll up....stupid...but I didn't have any I'll effects.

I'm not suggesting you do the same and in fact I'd probably say don't do it.

Thinking about you all the time and sending positive thoughts and hugs :wub:
thanks Charlie. I appreciate your honesty. I have also drug myself down to the nearest exit to smoke, one time demanding they remove the traction from my legs (drug days) just to do this. I used to be the hospitals worst patient. Trying hard to behave these days :lol:

    The Blotto is a flavor banger for sure but kinda restricted, I'm happy with it though even with the horrible o-ring that doesn't secure the tank to the deck, mine is first run, the problem has been resolved now.

    Thanks for the info. It’s been on my wish list, I should go hunt one down.

    Was it a dual battery mod? Since most dual battery mods are in series would they put out 7.4V in bypass like s stacked mech? I am not sure but that could explain why yours is so toasty.

    There’s a “recipe” for mints also in here...Are you done stocking up?
    The following was posted by markfm. There was a discussion on both mints and toothpicks. You can do the toothpicks minus alcohol as well

    “It's trivial. Pick some flavoring (menthol + peppermint in my case), plus some nic, use alcohol (I used 100 proof vodka) and pg or vg to flesh it out to the desired total ml of solution, soak 24 hours and dry.

    The original recipe worked out at 4 oz of liquid for 200 toothpicks, with an average of 6 mg nic per toothpick being soaked. I know I vape less than a full PAD smoker, so cut the nic mg/toothpick down to about 1/2 that.

    Use is stick it between cheek and gum, chew on it a bit..

    Here's what I used to soak them - a random vial that was the right size.

    Morning shinies ;)

    Boy oh Boy did 3F give me a pleasant surprise today. I ordered the Hippovape kudos this morning and received the shipping notice this afternoon. Do they even know about the virus and the blockades in Hong Kong...? :D

    The Kudos is an awesome wee squonker. I've used the slide to fill every day - just take your time when filling it. I let mine burp after each bottle squeeze, and it behaves perfectly :thumb:

    They are freaking out at my work and ordering perma masks for the adult team . Nothing for the kiddos yet, which I don't quite get I mean, it's sort of like wearing one shoe protector.

    I don't do "pandemics' anymore, too much NPR. My sneaking suspicion is they will accelerate the vaccine, and some people will die. Since people die every day, life will go on, and well, life will go on.

    It's probably a distraction from something nasty political going on by the media who don't want the populace considering THAT.

    I'm very sorry but we are at the point in genetics it would take some OTHER weird and crazy virus like HIV to wipe us out, and that doesn't come along so often and I remember the DIRE predictions on THAT. How it could spread aerosol any minute.

    Call my cynical, call me mean. I am probably in the "high risk" category, but again, I invite my Creator to protect me or take me home, either one is FINE with me. I put away my shopping carts. That has to count for SOMTEHIING.

    Also bought some flavors from NIc River does that count as shiny?

    Our insurance company would like me and my husband to bend over.

    We/I just CAN'T. We had too much invested in that home we really did. This is gonna SUUUUUUCK.

    But we have to.

    I did find the recipe. It called for Menthol crystals.
    I do not have time to do any of this. I would have to order stuff.
    would it work if I just soaked some toothpicks in one of my fav juices and then dried them. Or would they even dry?

    PG based flavours will take a good while to dry/evaporate. just go unflavoured.
