Mine either shows I’m overly optimistic, or I spend too much time here. And, I’m apparently in need of a ton of information. But, I def love y’all! I have no idea who I fat fingered red x’s to... sorry, unknown people :blush:

I saw videos of “police” in hazmat suits dragging people kicking and screaming from their homes. In another video they locked an entire family in their house with chains and padlocks.
Just watched those, then watched some others. I am going to take a break from watching for a while. Scary and depressing.

Like something out of the book 1984!! Very scary. There’s more to this than what the government’s are telling us. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist but a lot of this just doesn’t make much sense to me.

There could also be a whole lot of people scared and staying in their homes sick and dying.
It is China. When people report the truth they sometimes end up missing...
Chen Qiushi spoke out about the Wuhan virus. Now people fear he's been silenced - CNN

I saw that on the national news. Whistleblower suddenly dies hmmmm of course it’s quite possible but when talking about China Russia etc... people who speak out unexpectedly die or go missing far too often. It’s frightening.

I am loving my Revenant. I didn't really like dripping, and didn't really take any rda's out of the house. But now, I don't leave the house without it. Paired up with my Dead Rabbit SQ, I am in beginner squonking heaven. The Revenant is a no brainer for ease of use in the squonking arts. The Dead Rabbit SQ that @icepickmaker84 sent me, is one of the best tasting little rda's I've tasted. Don't know if anyone else has tried it, but it's a keeper for me.

I don't know Sara, but I don't think they let you take your vapes toView attachment 869253
You may have to leave your collection with me.

Oh, and a picture of my new favorite/only squonk kit.

View attachment 869257

maybe someone would bring me a stealth or disposable vape to me!!

im excited to get it and the Topside both of which aren’t the “typical” squonk setup. I love the Dead Rabbit. I have the SQ version but it’s SS so it won’t Mach either the Topside (red w blk trim or the Revenant purple w blk trim). It’s one of my favorite rdas and I have A LOT of them because I’ve been mainly dripping for the past 1.5 years. I just may have to find one in black now!! I do have several black rdas so I’m hoping a couple might work out well.

I actually enjoy the process of dripping. It’s relaxing to me but since I broke my hip it was much easier to use an RTA. A squonker would’ve been ideal for that situation. Any movement was excruciating.

Thanks again for the info. I now remember when it first came out. Many of the reviewers I subscribe to reviewed it. I probably didn’t watch them though thinking I wouldn’t be interested. Lol :lol: !

I don’t know how else to phrase this.... that just sucks. A solid nights sleep would do you a world of good. Last stay I used a sleep sound app on my phone. It drowned out enough of both the in room equipment and outside hall noise to get some sleep. We’re all rooting for you to get set free. I know it’s frustrating for it to be so tantalizingly close, but you’re almost there! Hugs and prayers continued.
Thanks Nolamel....

Sending hugs back to you for being such a lovely person. Your husband's a lucky man :wub:

Hi everyone, hope you're all okay? :)

Lousy weather here lately thanks to storm Ciara. Been going through my vape gear and I have too much I never use, time to sell some stuff off I think.
Hey....welcome back. You know that the classifieds here are now working for all ?

Good luck and good to see you :wub:

Hi Charlie, looking in to see how you are doing.

Sleep is so important. The time the body and mind heal itself. Not sure why the hospitals do not know that as they wake you every darn hour for one thing or another. One of the reasons I took myself off all pain meds very early. Pain meds make me wired and although I crave sleep it escapes me. Once back in my own home I resorted to a cocktail I love but only use occasionally. One 3mg melatonin, two 500mgs Valerian Root, some CBD under my tongue and the CPAP machine. OMgosh if not for my bladder nudging me I would get a solid 8 hours. I get 8-9 anyway but two bathroom jaunts breaks it up. YES, I realize I am a nerd for this being my fav cocktail. Because I have been a slave to many other fav cocktails in my life, some requiring my own use of injections, I am happy that this is the case today. Long live legal and safe cocktails.
Yes, natural is best for sure. The last two nights I've even tried Xanax but even that doesn't work. Of course I'm still on the pain killers which I've developed a tolerance for. I'm a bit worried about the oxycodone as I've been taking it since August. I guess the doctor's know how to get you off relatively easily.

Hoping you're feeling better....and sending big hugs.

It's even germier in hospitals, though presumably not where Charlie is sequestered.
No here my air is exchanged for sterile air constantly and everyone wears face masks. It's like being in China and:wub:

Hope you're ok :)

Home is going to feel like heaven when you get there. Just think--the bliss of your own bed, your own bathroom, your own food, your own stuff, your own schedule. Your wife by your side. It will feel like a miracle. And you will have earned it.
:wub:

    Finally I found the chart!! Why would I want to know this information? Curiosity? I find it REALLY difficult to believe that I Red Xed anyone let alone 38 times :w00t: !!! And I don’t remember getting any Xs I’d definitely remember that because I would’ve been talking with my therapist about it for weeks lol!!!

    1st hour it infuriated me. Wouldn't fire for some reason. Through sheer determination I finally got it to fire.

    Day 2 was meh. The coil was too big, too much mass and ramp up was insane.

    Day 3 I managed to get a simple SS 316 2.5 to work well. Unfortunately all day it's leaked horribly. I believe too little cotton. There is no visible location but it filled up the recessed area.

    I've rewicked and swapped plastic. So far i haven't seen ant leaking, but I don't have high hopes. If it's flooded tomorrow morning I'm done. (I say that but I'm too stubborn to give up)

    With current build it does give much more flavor. I swapped positive posts to the smaller of the two to get the draw I like.

    I honestly don't feel it's a good value, at least bought directly shipped to the US. Yeah, it's nice. As of right now I feel it's only marginally better than a replacement coil. Marginally isn't worth the 90 some odd bucks I shelled out for it.

    I could change my mind.
    You know how to wick the original vapeshell I suppose?

    I live in Roquebrune sur Argens but in currently in my specialist cancer hospital in Nice in the Alpes maritimes. It's very close to Monaco and the Italian border :wub:
