    Brilliant storm earlier, meet the kale-less paddock:

    I had a Luna in my pocket (the mod, the real one would've required a wheelbarrow), when i was storm watching - so I took its photo:

    @charlie1465 thanks to the storm, I got my very first lens flare. In the perfect spot, as the green dot is nothing but light.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I got some Friday the 13th on me. I got something in my eye at work and couldn’t rinse it out. I went to my doctor who sent me to a specialist only to find out that whatever was in my eye was now gone and left an abrasion which is why it still felt like I had something in it. All afternoon spent waiting in doctors offices.

    On a brighter note, I finally got the Forz rda set up on my topside and it’s working great.

    I’m still vaping that custard daily since the first time I made it. I spike it with all sorts, juicy peach, some raspberries, and today with some cup a Joe. It’s great by itself and mixes nice with so much.
    Sounds nice. Can you recommend a peach flavour?

    My current adv is a variation on the Killer Kustard recipe you posted a while back. Always better after a ten day steep.
    Haven't tried the 321 Ambrosia - got a recipe?
    Here you go. Seven day steep is ok but longer is better...
    3,2,1 Ambrosia.
    2.00% Custard (INAWERA)
    1.00% Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) (FA)
    3.00% Vanilla Pudding (Flavorah)
    Flavor total: 6%

    Add sweetener to taste... recommend 0.25%. You can up the percentages by 10% too if you like it stronger but it's fine as is :)

    You've used the natural light but product photography uses exactly that....using sometimes many accent lights to pinpoint very specific areas of a 'perfume bottle' for example.
    It shows how much you're enjoying your photography and how much you're learning too. The more photos you take the more you get to know what and why works and what doesn't. Don't worry about taking a lot although it's sometimes a nightmare going through them all to find the spot on ones...I'm really enjoying your photos and as you probably now know it's all about light!! :wub:

    @DeloresRose I am sorry, I saw AngeNz at the top of your post and thought the conversation was with her. So my last message to AngeNz should have been to you...:wub: I was asking how long you have been in the Shiny group so basically how long has it taken you to get to nearly 100? Im a bit concerned you arent quoting an exact number as in you know every one of them lol. Keeping a photographic record with dates is a great idea, I think I will do that... so if I am ever close to 100 I will be able to tell the newbies exactly :)

    Where am I up to. Quick summary first, I started smoking at 9 because my brother wouldnt let me in his cubby house if I didnt. His best friend was going out with my friend so I wanted in. Age 14 about 10-15 a day, 18 I was on 50 a day. I have given up previously for thirteen years, then obviously started again, did another 1 year off, started again. I bought my first vapes about 3 years ago. Had a stint with them, then they sat in the cupboard.

    Recently, about a month ago I got everything out again. I still have juice in the bottom of the fridge, totally out of date I imagine but that is what I am using. Its tobacco hi nic watered down. Im using 50/50pg vg and my mod is a Pico mega that the screen doesnt work on. I also have a normal pico but prefer the mega. I have just received my first mech mod and rta tanks and bought 2 Geekvape Solos a couple of days ago. I thought I did well as everyone else seemed to be getting 3 :lol: I have coils for RTAs and wire and cotton and everything all on order. I am still having cigarettes when I go out, but mostly at home Im vaping and loving it. I just found out from finding the US restrictions that nic cant be shipped to Aus, but Im down to about 3-5% anyway and I told a friend this morning that I think I will be off the smokes by the end of the month. A lot of my stuff will have arrived and if I can get some nice flavors that I enjoy I think I will be okay. I have a big sweet tooth and having something I really enjoy vaping I think will help massively. So I need to find out where everyone gets their counters from on their profile showing the date they quit and how many smokes they didnt have. I want it ready, Im feeling very positive :)

    Everyone here is amazing and helpful and encouraging. Im really glad I came back here. It was mainly for information to help me get going with rtas and things like that, but I have found it to be so much more, hence Im a Shiny... I want to do diy juices, and Im going to end up knowing a truckload about rtas and ohms and whatever else gets added to the mix, and have a lot of laughs and fun with an amazing bunch of people. I can understand why you are still here... and why you have so many mods lol. Thank you for asking about me xxx

    I was using an angle grinder under a caravan once and got a rusty flake of metal in my eye. It went right around the back and the local doc was just about to send me to hospital when he managed to get it out...phew. Not a pleasant experience....I was on the slab with my eyelid inverted for half an hour!!

    Here's a thread on how to get a quit smoking tracker....

    quit smoking banner text only

    Sounds like you're doing really well. Don't worry about the day smokes....any reduction is a good thing. If you were smoking 50 a day you may need a bit more NIC though....but many have quit on less. I smoked around 35 cigs a day and quit using 18mg/ml which I still use today.

    Keep it up you're doing great. Ask away too if you want to know anything specific...no judgement here :wub:
