They already have because nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, and will hinder the bones knitting together and healing properly...

Ill be on 0 nic for at least 3 months if not 6 (6 is preferred), after surgery...

He said vaping is fine, just not the nicotine... So ill be vaping my zero nicotine ejuice, but he's said I didnt have to stop before the surgery, just after to assist in the healing process since we are dealing with bones. :)

All my after surgery ejuice is zero nic! :)

I was told the same thing after my broken hip surgery. To be honest I didn’t go to zero nic but I also wasn’t vaping much for 2-3 months being almost bed ridden. Between the pain and rehab etc vaping wasn’t really on my mind.

    What an excellent start right out of the gate. This is right up there with the big boys like @bigbob2322. Keep up the great work lady. I'll be looking forward to some more of your reviews. :thumb:

    My first review was a video review for an LED flashlight 11 years ago, and I was a nervous wreck. View attachment 905247

    I've done several of them over the years for this company. Don't know if I've gotten any better, but I'm not so nervous anymore. View attachment 905251


    Great review of the Jet 3 Pro Rob, years ago I loved the Coast light for the unbelievable flood capabilities.

    I was using zero nicotine for about a year, and it seems when I go to zero nic vaping itself loses something - even the juice tastes different and I lose interest in vaping much. At one point I was only taking a couple puffs a day... but I did like those couple puffs.. lol

    Because ill be tanking my nicotine since I'm vaping 4mg right now, I'm sure ill go through a slight period of withdrawal where I might need to chain vape through it... but I only do that for a couple weeks..

    I wasn't thinking about how surgery itself (and the pain) will affect my desire to vape, but after my surgery 20 years ago it did nothing to curb my desire to smoke, so I figure there's that...

    But it would be nice to lose the desire for a while... maybe I will. :)

    The Motor City
    The Fox Theatre?

    We saw Bruce Springsteen there during his Devils & Dust solo tour in 2005. Awesome show and a fine venue. Nice acoustics too.
    It was at the Royal Oak Music Theater. We had a chance to see Robin Trower there, right up front once again. It was excellent, but Billy Idol + Steve Stevens + acoustic guitar was priceless.

    Nice to hear from you! I hope they get it all straightened out with your dad. And you with your legal stuff. Love the photo btw.

    Did you buy any Dvarw's yet? Most everyone here has been amassing their own army of them because His Majesty in OZ has been threatening world domination with his beastly Brunhilde's. I'm well guarded in the NorthLands but @Daniel Forsyth has been eyeing an invasion over an Asmodus Ohmsmium that is under the protection of my Elite Dvarw Guard.

    Take care Cloud!!! :wub:

    The Brunhilde's are amassing and we'll come and get that Ohmsmium in No Time;)

    I know they fit both the NRG and the Cerberus tank because I have some and use them in both
    Perfect because I also have a Cerberus and everything that fits my cerb fits my Cascade baby. But even if for some odd reason it doesn't if it fits the cerberus I'm thrilled.

    hey... yes it's on Tuesday and it cant come fast enough!

    We went to my last doctors appointment today before surgery, so now I can just stay in bed until we leave Monday night (thank God)... getting a hotel room so Tuesday morning is easier on me...

    As far as after surgery, I was going to call Mel myself... should be able to do that after I leave recovery and get assigned a room, they allow cell phones these days unless your in the ICU..

    But if I can't for any reason, I'll have DH call in my stead... NP. I'm sure ill be fine.. :) (fingers crossed and much prayer...)

    Love to you... and thank you for the prayers and fingers and toes! :wub:
    You better! At my age I can only pace and fret so long before I wear myself out ;)
    And, I promise not to tell everyone if you’re all med loopy :lol:. I expect it all to go fantastic.

    ;)


    Horizontal or vertical? Those horizontal OCCs were good and they are relatively easy to rewick and even rebuild. But then Kanger went nuts with their STM coils, switched to verticals, added a dozen different kinds.




    Absolutely--if you don't mind MTL. Very versatile tank, comes with an RBA coil (easy to build on), and works with all kinds of coils--I like mine with old Aspire BVC (non-Nautilus) coils for a perfect MTL vape. :)


    While I haven't received them yet I'm guessing they're vertical.

    these would match any rainbow RTAs
    They have a lot of very cool "stuff" there. Had to leave, quick! My wallet was screaming "leave now". But not before I bought their tungsten carbide scissors. I was chatting with an employee there and she laughed when I asked if their blades were "SHARP" sharp. She said they will take them back if I don't like them. Didn't need another pair of scissors but I am a freak for the ultra sharp ones. :D

    ETA: She suggested the razor or tungsten carbide scissors for cotton and rayon.

    Nice. I have one of the white versions too. I haven't had a chance to use it, but it does look pretty sharp.

    The stress of your upcoming surgery is hard enough. Do what you have to do to get yourself through to your surgery day - and go zero nic after surgery. But when you are recovering - if you want to vape your head off: do it! :wub:

    Why are the 3.5" scissors more expensive than the 4"?
