Shinyitis Support Group

[Letitia]

Oh come now, would you ask a possum not to play dead? Would you ask a skunk to not smell? Nay, nay I say. Dare not expect us to go against our nature. Ask not what your finances can do for you, but how quickly we can destroy said finances.

When I was a boy I would get $5 from my Grandmother for my birthday. Save it they said. Asking a child to save money given to him goes against everything we hold true in our capitalistic society.
(Imagine I tie this into shinyitis here, be creative, I would)

Now go forth young marsupial. Go forth and spend, spend as if your beady little eyes have landed in the holy possum Grail of vaping. Wrap those claws around it and hold it high and dare the world to run over you and take it.

Be the inspiration our lurkers need. Be their hairy, ever so ugly, beacon of hope. Despair not if the tires of financial oppression bear down on you. Don't freeze in the headlights of oncoming poverty. Fein death in the face of adversity and shine on you crazy thing you!

And he's back!

Dear lurkers:

You are welcome to post anything you'd like.
While we would be considered a tight knit group we really are just mildly defective, weirdly abnormal folks who happen to be gathered at the same place at the same time(ish).

You don't need to have a stash of mods, you only need to possess a sense of humor and preferably a large wallet.

Seriously, please join in. We move fast so please don't be discouraged if your reply gets missed.

This has been a monthly reminder to all our lurkers. If I'd been an actual emergency I would have called you out by name.
Like @wickedalibi who lurked earlier and liked posts but didn't join in...

Shame on you.

Letitia probably just got chills up her spine... I’m vaping unflavored and enjoying it. Don’t think I could have done it in the early days (wouldn’t have been able to taste it), but this has a sweetish, lightly herby/pepper taste. Can’t put my finger on it, but quite nice

 

[NolaMel]

I meant to ask the other day... someone said they didn’t like 28g wire. I’m using that or 26... I get what I think is better taste out of one. Trying to determine if it’s in my head (don’t laugh, it’s a busy place in there ). Does anyone favor one over the other?

So that's where that odd shiver came from. No way I'm vaping any liquid with a hint of herby pepper.

This sounds good what did you do?

Wire is like all things vaping related, subjective. I doubt it's in your head, Mel. I prefer 26g over 24g, more due to ramp than taste. I do prefer ss over other wire types for taste. I imagine you just actually prefer one gauge over the other.

To make Letitia shiver? Just mention unflavored juice . Just pg/vg and nicotine. I get that most people won’t like it, it’s very subtle. This is 50/50, because I was using the last bit of each as a tester.

This is what they call a disturbance in the force.

Not the type of shiver I normally enjoy.

I like it personally. I go with unflavored whenever I get vapers tongue or just tired of flavors in general. I did unflavored during the great diketone scare and found it to be pretty good. I use very light flavoring anyway and I don't like aftertaste.

I have been vaping 70/30 all day with no nic and a little menthol conc.

 

[Letitia]

@NolaMel I lay this current conversation at your feet.

 

[ilporcupine]

It's the only way I can figure out which tastes are coming from which ingredient. I need to get used to my base.

 

[NolaMel]

I had to go zero nic for two weeks before surgery. Bought 6-8 flavors to try. Menthol was the only one that worked for me. At least I can go back and add nic to them. No sin tax on juice without nicotine in Louisiana... but I have nic now .

Hey @JamesDMad ! How did the stent removal go? Hope you are feeling ok and not in pain

Gee, I guess we grossed out Letitia

I prefer thicker wire but that is because I am more after vapor production. You are doing 1 ohm builds so thinner guage wire is well suited for that. I personally don't like wrapping coils with wire that thin. It's more difficult. Heavier wire has more ramp up time and drains batteries faster. For that reason on single battery mechs I tend to do 20ga. single wire builds or single coil if i want claptons.

You're new, it can get much worse at times. Keep the tums in arms reach.

Good night Shiny's. Wishing you all flavor filled dreams.
