Simple & Strange Things I've Learned on ECF

[Chimney34]

I get mine on the Subscribe & Save at Amazon, it tastes just a little sweeter than black tea. You can steep it just about forever & it won't get bitter. It is also called Red Bush tea - it's from a south african bush.

Wally World has it too, mine is loose leaf.........

Thanks Dale! I'm about to look it up now! I'm addicted to coca cola but I really need to cut back!

Diet Coke fiend, here. I like my caffeine cold and carbonated. Coffee? No no no no no. To me it smells like a cat peed on the burner. I avoid the kitchen until my better half has finished and turned the machine off. Ugh, I feel sick just thinking about it.

~looks around~ What?

Lol! If I don't have a cup of coffee in the morning I can't function & I doubt anyone would want to be around me without it! I get kinda grumpy

IMO, yes. I got some Peaches & Cream white, 100% cotton yarn at Walmart ($1.88). Cut off a couple of feet and boiled that for 15 minutes. Let it air dry. Cut off about 1-1/2 inches and separated it into 4 strands. Put 2 strands into a beading needle and pulled through the coils (4 strands in the coil.) Filled and waited a couple of minutes. Vaped. Very good. I replace them once a week (or earlier for my sweet/chocolate juices) Do NOT dry burn these, btw.

I've heard of people doing that with the Peaches and Cream yarn. I am going to have to get some do they alter the taste any? Really wanna know, all my wicks are tasting burned and I don't know what is going on. I've vaping between 3.5-4.0 volts so that shouldn't burn my wicks up like that.

I've learned that I still hate water! But I know I must drink it!

Back when I found out I was diabetic and had to test my blood sugar after fasting for 8 hours, I discovered Crystal Light. Well, I actually use the Wally World generic version. But, it does the job. Close enough to just plain water to do the trick.

But, I also found that if you do force yourself to drink a lot of water, after a few days you start to actually like and crave it! But, if I slack and don't drink it for a few days, I have to start all over again and force myself for a few days until I like it again.

Eeeeeeeee yes! Cola is probably one of the worst things you could consume ... depending on how much of course. One a day fine, more eh! And diet cola is worse! Now coffee! I literally will get sick if I don't get that!!!

I think my juices taste...um...richer? with the cotton. I vape at that voltage as well. When mine start to taste off, I just rewick. If the cotton wick is stuck, then I dry burn a bit so the cotton burns dry, then it pulls right out. Clean up the coil, thread in new wick, fill the tank and go.

I almost bought some when I was at Walmart the other day. But, I wasn't sure if white was ok. I thought it had to be just plain, un-colored, unbleached. Not sure. And, not sure where to get that anyway!

Thanks wallelf, I will give that a try.

I've done this several times! And you're right! If I slack off I'm back on the cola again & it's hard to get back on track!

I know Dale! I'm so bad! But it's sooooo good! I'm addicted & I know it! I hoard coca cola like I used to hoard cigarettes. It's embarrassing but this is my daily routine
Morning - cup of coffee then a can of cola
Arrive at work - buy a bottle of cola
Arrive home from work - another can of cola
If I'm off of work add 2 more cans of cola to this
Uggggh this is horrible!! I feel ashamed to even admit it!! Smh at myself

Seltzer water will help with the bubbles craving. It worked for me!

I drink Diet Coke from the time my feet hit the floor until lights out.

Thanks! Chellemmm!! Ill have to try this in the meantime as well!

Wrong kind of vapor huh So....were they good?

I let you know tomorrow. They are for my lunch this week.

The steak, on the other hand..... nom, nom, nom. Wonderful!

I used too as well! The only reason I've been able to cut back to this is because I won't put the whole pack in the fridge anymore. It's weird but I'm picky about how I drink my soda. I will not drink it with ice unless I have to & that's only when I'm grabbing fast food. So...I stopped putting the whole case in the fridge so that they're not too many cold ones in there at the same time. I try to leave it at 2-3 in there a day & put more in at night before bed. I do admit I've cheated before by putting one in the freezer! I was going through caffeine withdrawal!!

I thank god I am not a sodaholic.

I estimate I drink three per year. And, I usually can't finish them. Yuck! Gimme some ice water, or sweet tea.

 

[alisa1970]

1-1/2 twelve packs of Diet Coke (with Splenda) a week here... Now that I drink that, I can't drink the kind with aspartame...makes me bloated and icky feeling.

Oh, and ALWAYS in a glass with ice. For some reason if I try to drink it from the can, I can never drink the whole thing...cleaning up I have 5 or 6 half-full cans laying around. Too expensive to keep doing that!

 

[Wallelf]

The Green Tankard. I am never far from it, or my phone, or my PV.

 

[AngelsBreath]

I like sweet tea and coffee and yes, I love dr. peppers but I really know I need to drink more water, it's just, ughhhh no taste lol. Maybe I will do the crystal light thing.

I figure I go through a 12 pk a day. I just can't seem to get enthusiastic about water or tea. I've never been one for hot beverages, either. If I'm half frozen, I might, maybe, have a hot chocolate; but one would be enough.
