Yup, you can teach a dog most anything at almost any age. You should see my son's dog compared to day one, LOL. Had to bring her to the vet on Wed and she was fine (well, she needed to be muzzled, and crouched right by the door to our "room" when they took her back to do bloodwork, but she didn't try to chomp on anyone.

She's a smart little thing though. She happily jumps INTO my car, as long as the kid has his laundry with him, as she knows she's going on a nice little doggy visit.... Any other car trip is met with deep, deep suspicion.

She loves my son so much, I kind of pray nothing happens to him for HER sake. I mean, I would keep her obviously.... But much as she loves me, I think she fell head over heels in love with my kiddo on the day they met. He's like that with animals, I wish he'd decide to be a vet. Of course, I suppose the idea of injecting and euthanizing dogs all day holds little appeal to a pet lover.

Anyone can be conditioned into almost anything, with the right behavioral tools. The behavioral sciences were all a bit scary to me for that reason, way too easy to "condition" the wrong way. I did little conditioning on my kid until he was about 5, and about to enter kindergarden, we just had a bunch of fun. I mean, I taught him to avoid roads and stuff, but we grew up on a farm, and as far as I'm concerned, kids have little enough time to just be kiddos. I still maintain, "Having fun," in whatever fashion (the kid's fashion, not the adults) is a HUGE part of parenting.

Which meant I had to sit through endless seasons of that show with the darn ship that was alive, that sucked, so desperately. The kid recently told me it had I think 4 seasons? Sure felt like ELEVEN to me....

I read the name of the group as trying to help people who suffer from shinyitis resist the habit of clicking “proceed to check out” ... now, I got full shopping carts across the net waiting for the vape budget to catch up! :thumbs:

I currently have 8 batteries and bunch of wraps in my cart at Liion and been building my cart at nicriv along with a scale and mini fridge/ freezer at amazon... not to mention shelving and storage stuff at the container store I just started contemplating today...

You’re trying to pull me down a whole new rabbit hole . Only so many new tricks you can teach an old, impatient dog like me. But, I must admit they look intriguing.
Buy or buy not....

Buy.

Seriously love mine.
(And I love to trot out this pic)

Here's the thing. Batteries are potentially a necessity... but if you have enough to get through the day vaping then your solid and don't need more - you can charge at night.

Skip the mini fridge unless you live in the desert or don't have air conditioning, your ejuice is good for 1 year at room temp. (Same goes for most flavorings)

The only thing you need a freezer for is long term nicotine storage. VG and PG are good for two years at room temperature.

I use my kitchen cabinets for my e liquid flavorings and my VG storage and enough nicotine for the short term... buying shelving and the like if you don't need to is a waste of money - rearrange in the kitchen before you spend, and don't over buy when you gets flavors for DIY. They aren't going anywhere.

Nicotine might go away.. so plan for that accordingly. 10 years in the freezer is how long it will keep. One liter of 100mg will last one person 5 years on average. Pay attention to your own consumption and calculate accordingly.

My kitchen is optimized and cabinets are packed to the gills, I do not have much kitchen storage and had a Sur La Table problem for a while... My biggest concern was long-term nic storage when it came to the fridge/ freezer.

I would consider a mini freezer then. But seriously don't put it on credit. Save back for it..

Credit your spending on interest making the purchase more expensive... so save money back every month and spend out of that for the necessities.

When I first started vaping I put into savings my cigarette money. I used to spend 200 a month on smokes so I put 200 a month into savings... you spend out of that fund for your vaping needs... not credit.

You are used to living without that money - so keep living without it, and use that for setting yourself up.

Then once your set.. you have vacation money and more.

You know later theirs year Sony VTC 6As and another based on the 5 that I can't remember are coming out.

The Sammy's are great batteries. If I had it to do over again I'd have split the 25s between 5a and 6s.

BTW, the Liion has 6As from Vapecell up, 11.99 each. Limited quantities.

My local shop is pushing HG2s for regulated and I believe VTC5 for comp mechs. They actually have battery testing equipment to verify authenticity and to prove a point when it comes to the proliferation of crap rewrapped batteries out there.
