You know that ProVari was originally designed to be used with cartomizers, don't you? ;) As much as I loved mine, it's been re-homed several years ago.
I know, I'm asking a lot of this poor thing. It's very happy with the Doggy, though.

Lucky you. 104°F here. And more wildfires--some feeble-minded CA residents had a gender-reveal party (of all reasons to have a party) with fireworks. :facepalm: Fireworks in 110°F temps and 7% humidity, surrounded by dry grasses and dead brush. Thousand of acres burning.
It's the second time in as many years (I think) such a party started a fire, too. Dumbos.

Ok, need someone to point me to quantities of premixed plain juice.

I don't want to mix stuff right now, although I'm open to it in the future.

Oh, and explain it to me like I'm 5. I want easy storage and easy...well everything. Am I asking too much?

At work, so I may miss replies.

Edit: IF I have to mix, as few steps as possible. I'm not lazy just not really excited about doing it.
If you mean unflavored base, Heartland has 3mg and up. Usually the best price, good nic

Thank you to everyone for your replies. I have had a night to sleep on it. I have decided to go talk to the manager today. Wish me luck.....for both me and him. I am not happy, but calmed down enough to have a rational conversation. I hope for his sake that he doesn't try to BS me or become unreasonable.
Keep calm Rob :)

Thanks @Skunk! I know it hasn't been easy over there either. If you want a change of scenery, you could go skiing in Denver on Wednesday. ;)
We've had a lot of fires this year too. :(Colorado sounds wonderful right about now. Our temperatures dropped a lot today but now the wind is blowing like crazy.
Sorry about that.

The Santa Ana winds are expected tomorrow, so we're just bracing ourselves. High heat, low humidity and devil winds. Add a long-neglected power grid that can't keep up--thousands of CA residents without electricity, again. For days.
All my favorite places in CA are burning. :(Haven't been out there yet this year. I usually go 3-4 times a year. The West needs rain, and lots of it.

There are quite a few fires in Southern California right now. We went out to Pahrump and it's bad there too. They just issued a health advisory here. I took a couple pictures. The sun looks creepy.

Thanks. Someone on fb posted this pic of the Creek Fire from an airplane.
View attachment 905815 I think it's where we are getting all the smoke from.
Keep calm Rob :)
What about holding the 17 yr old responsible for going to the shop?
Sounds more like a disciplinary issue between Parent & Child

The 17 year old is being held accountable, believe me. That's not the only issue though. There is also the legal issue between the authorities and the store that is selling to minors. Matthew will be 18 in December, but the legal vaping age isn't 18, it's 21. The shop owner has the responsibility by law to protect minors. In other words, it is illegal for a vape shop to accommodate minors. It is also illegal for the vape shop owner to not card anyone that looks to be under the age of 30 I believe, maybe a little higher.

Thanks for your input.;)

The people here are watching your fires with concern. We went through this hell last summer and understand how helpless and scared you guys are feeling. Fingers crossed that you get rain soon Skunk.

Got my stabwood knife from Asmodus. Green instead of the blue I ordered, but I'm not even going to mention it to them. It's fine.

How do I close the dang thing, though?

Take a picture of the open knife. I collect knives also, and will be able to help you when I see the locking mechanism. Congrats on the new asMODus shiny!

Just in case you have trouble posting pics.most likely it has a piece of metal by the hinge pin that rest on the blade,needs pushing away or a lock on the back.If you can we want to see that pic.:)

Thanks, Rob. I'm an inept and inexperienced taker of pictures, so these are terrible and blurry. I'm also not entirely sure what you need to see. If none of these is it, let me know what I need to do.

I'd wait til the anger passes then think about it carefully. It's probably hard now but perspective is important. Whatever you do try not to make it personal and don't do anything you'd regret.
If I was in your shoes I'd take the business owner aside and give him a warning. Make it final. Tell him you know what's been going on and you're watching him. Hopefully that's enough. Good luck Rob.
Teenage boys are always pushing boundaries and that will never change. Your young fella has been man enough to tell you the truth. Kudos for that.

Keep calm Rob :)

Thank you Pigs and Charlie. I stayed calm, and yes, Matthew is a good kid.

Anyway, I asked the shop owner if his store was important to him, does it feed your family? He said yes. I then assured him that I know his and my culture have different perspectives and fundamental ideologies and that I respect his and all cultures. He is Middle Eastern. He started to look puzzled and very curious at that point. I then proceeded to let him know that I was aware of at least two minors who were allowed to purchase products in his store on multiple occasions. The shop owner was reasonable and apologized profusely. He promised he would talk to his employees. I told him next time I would not give him the benefit of coming to the store. If Matthew get's another device from them, I will just call the police.

Thank you all for your advice and input. I truly hope he appreciates the opportunity I gave him.

I agree with a lot of what has been said so far. The only thing I haven't seen is I think it is also a legal issue for someone underage to attempt to purchase. Being a father of six, I've been down this type of road before and I would think the best option would be for your son to understand the legal side of his actions which you most likely have done already. I would be concerned with the way things are today to say anything to the owner(s). It's already plain that they don't care or follow policy. In a couple of days they may not be around anyway.
