I used to use between 20 and 30 mls a day but now I use much less. It didn't happen by design just a matter of a natural change in my vaping style when I got into the Billet Boxes.

10mls per day sounds very good if you're using RDAs a lot

Didn't know you were into BBs, Charlie. I've been waiting on a Vapeshell and Xeta from 3F for a long time now. Too long, can't wait. I really love my BB.

My husband is nagging me to go to one of them "functional medicine" people but that is SO much labwork and etc. and there is NO guarantee it will work.

Seems to me you have a wise husband. If you find the right one, I guarantee you it'll work and you'll be amazed how much better your body functions.
I saw it with soooo many people my wife referred to this woman. The wife is an ex pharmacist. When she was diagnosed she didn't want to go the chemical way as she's seen what it does to a body in the long run (various illnesses actually). Don't get me wrong she still uses medicine, but very sparingly and only what is really neccesary.
This woman calls her practice "The self heal Clinic" and that is exactly what it did for us. She anilyze the body and brings it all into balance again. It is a lengthy process, but it educates you about how your unique body functions, and how you must manage it. The wife has since sent so many people to her, she even gives us a discount now. Its not cheap, but it radically changes your life. Its a life investment. Best investment I ever made. Many of these people she referred has been under various doctor treatments for lengthy periods without actually getting healed. That's the thing about our Western way of doing medicine. The doctors in general only treat symptoms. The actual medicine they discribe isn't even for the underlying illness... its merely for the symptom. Problem is the chemical medicine that's being pumped into people, leads to other problems with other symptoms. Nah i'm over chemical medicines. I've seen what can be achieved without it.
The main problem is we are biologic beings (not chemical) and have been evolving by means of natural means for eons. Our diet, environmental chemicals and stresses, and many other factors of our modern way of life is causing our bodies to protest and pack up, and it can't function the way its supposed to anymore.
Worst of all is our Western medicine can't fix that...that's where the Naturopaths come in. They restore the body to its natural state so it can function optimally again.
I can spend pages about my daughter but the bottom line is, for us, its nothing short of a miracle what she has done for her. Best of all, it was all so simple (compared to what the psychiatrists did) looking back.
Anyway i'm degressing.
This woman has patients all over the world that she consults with....including a friend of us in South Africa...and he's like me...can't even speak proper English
I'll post the link and you can have a look. She has some interesting information on her site. I dare you to contact her
The Self Heal Clinic
LoL I just remembered..she even healed my dog from terrible allergies. She even works along side Veterinarians....

Another one to add to my list. Thx for the info. So far, I have eight US vendors participating in the MA ban. I'm sure there's more. Keep me posted.

Those 8 may have been only for the vape ban but now that it’s been lifted it really should be only flavored ejuice. If there’s something you want to buy from one of them then I’d email them.

Some have had problems placing the coils in dual coil setups.

Thanks. I’ve only been using it in single coil and wasn’t planning on doing dual coils in it. I guess that must be why I’ve never had issues with it.

The vapeshell is my favourite bridge but I also use various coils in my other boxes too. I have an OG Xeta but I'm ashamed to say I still haven't tried it yet. Partly because word is it's no better than the vapeshell. I have an OG and 4 clone vapeshell. Let me know how your Xeta clone does. Apparently the OG can be a problematic fit in the boros

The billet Boxes are the OG rabbit hole.... I've spent so much much on accessories... Jeez. Here's a pic of one of my billets with gold tip, gold fire button and SSSP panels

I have to say I agree with you Fred My Mum's a homeopath, my Sister too and she works with a naturopath dietitian. I can't fault the holistic argument either as it just makes perfect logical sense.

With regard to modern medicines you've only got to sit outside any clinic and watch people come out with armfuls of medicine. Treatment and then meds to treat the side effects of the treatment. Since I was diagnosed with emphysema I have definitely been improved by the steroidal meds I take but they can and do have bad effects on the body long term... It's similar with arthritis meds and after all arthritis is an inflammatory condition with no known cause according to conventional meds.

Your daughters story sounds amazing although I straight away wonder how good a councillor this lady is as often with psychiatric illness it is cancelling that finally works... The meds are awful too. As a parent it must have been a fabulous relief when something worked

I've ended up on so many meds lately with the cancer I'll probably move in the same direction as you have but at the moment I'm helped out a lot with the conventional route but don't want to be dependent for ever.

The problem with some of the drugs that @stols001 takes is that they all have quite severe chemical backlashes if you stop taking them or change type so it's much more difficult to manage than some. I do agree though that you can often hear in people's words their total belief and dependence on the medical model.... Australia is perhaps more advanced than some other countries with this sort of of thing. And my sister in Sydney certainly bears this out

Long may you all feel well. I'll have a look at your link... Very useful

 

[stols001]

Seems to me you have a wise husband. If you find the right one, I guarantee you it'll work and you'll be amazed how much better your body functions.

I promise to follow her instructions to the letter if you pay for it??? Plus my commuting fees?

No, I'm sorry, there are things I believe naturopathic functional medicine may slightly assist with, and things I don't.

I agree that our bodies have imbalances and whatever, but I also think that if when life was like, so much more natural and awesome and minus antibiotics....

Life expectancy was so much LESS.

A naturopath to me is like a freaking.... Dog psychic that asks you what the dog's name is. I'm sorry "WHUT?? You are gonna tell me it's unhappy when you pay the other dog too much attention but like, well, it wont' tell you it's NAME?" Come the "censored" ON.

I am actually an extremely healthy person for the most part, especially if my MEDS are right.

No one really knows what causes bipolar disorder, but they do know what HELPS. But, they also most DEFINITELY don't know it's a deficiency of like vitamin K coupled with eating too much goat.

I'm really sorry. I put a certain amount of stock in some naturopathic medicine but I require clinical trials first and there are TONS of home wives tales that work because they WORK.

While it is abundantly true that most meds are made from botanicals and biochemical materials, I don't care to make my own digitalis medicine. Some people need a short cut and I am one such a person. I don't got TIME for that. I (after a TON of reading on the subject) now take probiotics.... because I found a brand I trusted that works.

I'm not going through 10K of lab work that I do not believe will put me ANY further ahead than I am now. I get the SUPER Duper panel of lab work done every year, and the only values out of wack are my thyroid and it's because they work better that way... for me by choice.

Trust me when I say you don't know the extent of my bipolar. You don't. If this woman could fix me by "balancing something" it would likely be as unhealthy as the actual MEDS just SOUND healthier.

I am extraordinarily healthy and once my Achilles heel of smoking was conquered, I have never felt better until occasionally snafus arise.

Let her work with her dog psychics and "clients all over the world" and I will stick with my "symptomatic" medicine thank you. I have symptoms: that is what I want treated. THAT IS WHAT CHRONIC ILLNESS IS--- symptoms you can only TREAT because there IS no cure.

And, lest you feel I pity myself-- life is an illness for which there is no known cure,

Eventually, all these odd infantile genetic illnesses being tested for are gonna get better, and well, we should be good for awhile, Man, I await THAT day.

BTW-- there are CURES for things. My son had allergies to 19 things 19! So we did allergy shots for 5 years and he has no asthma or allergies EVER. He is cured.

Plus, the last place I would do this in is Tucson. Talk about snakes and snake oil. Ugh,. The only "naturopath" I am going to listen to is me, and I do my research when it is warranted. I eat a healthy diet, I am usually JUST fine, far healthier than I have any right to be.

Enough. Let me spend my money on vapes. LOL.

[stols001]

Okay I checked the link.

Also, why does the "hour long appointment" seem SO great to some people? Most of my intake appointments have been 1.5 hours at least. I guess I have/had good doctors,

Not trying to knock this stuff although her office made me want to punch it. To each their own, really. My son's various inflammatory ailiments got cured by MMJ and I don't knock that, so why this? IDK. Knock yourself out. Etc.

Oh my I will be in bed ON TIME. LOL.

I'm about to ditch mine in favor of the Vinci X. If they only fixed the dt, I'm in love. Now that that exists I'm not using the BB so much anymore. it's too much of a hassle.

 

[lupinehorror]

morning all.
can't seem to warm up last couple of days.
my vinci x and pyro v3 have apparently been delivered. should get them at the weekend.
a week of work left then a two week break which will be the longest I've had off for a couple of years. an overseas trip that was maybe happening late feb now looks like it won't.

 

[Susaz]

Come to the dark side.... [emoji3]

(I use 30 ml/day)

Nono, I'll stay here, thanks. Paid almost 70 bucks on eliquid yesterday, 300 ml I intend to make last a month.

Now are you planning on trying to put the Pyro v3 on top of the Vinci X?

i think the build I'll be using may be a tad on the low side for such experimentation. one of the kelpies may be given a go however.

Have you bought the rebuildable? The Mechlife is the best. I bought two of each, on their way

yup...got the mechlife RBA and the 510 plate too.
been waiting a while to get my hands on it (the vinci x that is)...well 3 weeks or so. in a bit of a vape slump at the moment so something new to play with will be nice.

 

[Fredman1]

Your daughters story sounds amazing although I straight away wonder how good a councillor this lady is as often with psychiatric illness it is cancelling that finally works...

No there was no councilling Charlie. The psychiatrists got her back to a kind of zombie like state. That is how they discharged her to....best they could do with chemical medication. She was under control, but still had that glassy look in the eye. Constantly pacing and blabbing, over eating, drinking water all the time (dry mouth). I forgot the other side effects but there was more. That was all because of the meds they had her on.
This lady did a list of tests to find out what her body/brain state was..hair sampling, dna, hormone and heavens knows what else. She then started correcting all the imbalances. Most important she put her on a strict diet to get rid of the inflammation in the brain. Then she started correcting her body/brain...only with supplements. That is the expensive part of it as the supplements aren't the ones you regularly buy off the supermarket shelf. I remember she said to me once...when she started taking the Omega 3 (its like $185 per 500ml), she felt like walking out of a cloud of mist she's been wondering in for soooo long.
Man I tell you its fairy take stuff. We cried for months in the beginning. To see your child in that almost vegetable state and not knowing if she'll ever be someone again is more than any parent can bare. It was devistating. She's the most fantastic person. Highly intelligent...She did 2 BsC degrees back to back. Soon after the graduations it happened. She's completely fine now and without any medications.
Interesting... she went back and actually did some volunteer work in the same wards she was in. The psychiatrist she saw last had a jaw dropping experience when she told him her story. He could not believe that such simple treatment could have such a radical improvement. Yeah life is good again mate

I promise to follow her instructions to the letter if you pay for it??? Plus my commuting fees?

Deal. You lay your history down to her and if she can't help you, i'll pay your first consultation fee. If she can help you, you pay your own way. Remember...its expensive but you only pay once, and your body will thank you for the rest of your life.
Ah... and NO commuting neccesary...surely you have Skype, a post box and a email?

A naturopath to me is like a freaking.... Dog psychic that asks you what the dog's name is. I'm sorry "WHUT?? You are gonna tell me it's unhappy when you pay the other dog too much attention but like, well, it wont' tell you it's NAME?" Come the "censored" ON.

WoW what a arrogant and almost aggressive response.
Yeah, we both know that won't happen as you made your up your mind already...without even having the neccesary knowledge about the subject. All I wanted to do is share my experience and what worked for us. A different respective if you will...but obviously you don't take kindly to that.
Hell...with all the complaints and ailments you've been sharing constantly over this forum for the last few years I thought it good to lend a helping hand and share some of my experience with you... boy am I regretting that now. I think it might be worth your while persueing some different options...but then again as you said, you're "extraordinarely healthy"...ah well whatever
Anyway, let's carry on....you and me are done !!!

 

[Pigs]

I see everyone is expecting me to fiddle around. I was looking for an easy answer without any tinkering. I would think most of you know by now I am not about figuring out what is wrong (the wonderful Billet Box that I just tossed aside) I just want it to be right
JK

You need to get batteries right. It's a safety issue. Figuring out what is wrong could be the difference between happy vaping and a house fire

 

[Pigs]

When I got my first one it was a revelation... I kicked myself for not having bought one sooner. The original and best aio

The vapeshell is my favourite bridge but I also use various coils in my other boxes too. I have an OG Xeta but I'm ashamed to say I still haven't tried it yet. Partly because word is it's no better than the vapeshell. I have an OG and 4 clone vapeshell. Let me know how your Xeta clone does. Apparently the OG can be a problematic fit in the boros

The billet Boxes are the OG rabbit hole.... I've spent so much much on accessories... Jeez. Here's a pic of one of my billets with gold tip, gold fire button and SSSP panels

I'd try the Xeta if I were you Charlie. It's not mind blowingly better than the Vapeshell but has just as good flavour and is very forgiving of wicking. It's also incredibly dry behind and under the boro.
I've got one of each on the go at the moment and love them both. The build quality of the authentic Vapeshell is better than the clone Xeta (post screws) but I really should get an authentic Xeta for a true comparison

 

[DeloresRose]

I agree.

My MO for troubleshooting anything is to start with the cheapest or easiest fix. Sometimes they’re the same thing.

In this case, I would try other batteries first. If you have some that have not been in these mods, try those, otherwise, a new pair is not that expensive. And who couldn’t use another couple batteries?

I would say YouTube it, but I’m sure you already have.

My last resort would be doing an update, so I understand your reluctance. Maybe you could ask here and see if anyone could help you out with that.
