How do you get more drop box storage? I've got photos there now. Just don't trust it. I used to have tb's of music and movies backed up to Rapidshare (paid monthly) and Mediafire. I had my backup drive fail and then my hard drive died 4 days later. That was the SECOND time I'd lost everything! Then Rapidshare and Mediafire got checked for copyrighted stuff whether it's shared or not, didn't matter. A-holes. I need to backup my backups. I still lost a lot of impossible to replace stuff. I was running a music blog at the time focusing on out of print, obscure stuff. Non commercial. Turns out that's the stuff they targeted the most. Grrrrr. Anyway, those backups on line really saved me. I hated seeing that option dissapear (and don't think it should).

Have you been following MU's case? I thought there was an opening to get stuff back, but not sure. That's been a disaster for the US. What a joke. Imagine taking down a multi-million dollar biz, with swat teams, for nothing. "Racketeering" was an ad buy for their new music distribution. FBI caught tampering evidence. It'll never see court. Spooky stuff. Then the Schwartz tragedy. That's enough for me. I dropped out. Sad.

So where are the phone boards now?

yeah, the owner of the site said people who had personal files on there could retrieve them, but my account was locked from me having my music in there (legally purchased, non-standard format) and i didnt feel like jumping through hoops.

Dropbox you can pay for extra space here: https://www.dropbox.com/upgrade and there are a few ways to get extra space for free, i have 50bg until this summer from attaching my Samsung Phone/Tablet (both gave 50gb, but only once per account) to my dropbox. you can referr friends for some extra space, and if you have a .edu address your refferals are worth double space! (i did not use my .edu address when i had the chance so i lost out..)

i like Android devices, i had to be Break/Fix trained on IOS devices. was not fun. then had the idiots call who expected free support for thier apple product and thought they knew everything and would not listen to what was wrong. I have since forgotten most of it. i know the basics of how to get it to work. im better with a terminal prompt. plus most android apps you dont need to be rooted (jailbroken) for (only time you do is things the average person would never need to do.. lol.) and you can install stuff from outside the market store just by enabling a check box.

Go to this link, sign up , you'll get an extra 5gb free forever. For every person you refer you'll get another 5gb of lifetime storage. You start with 15 gb free lifetime and it goes up from there with each referral.
I like it better than Drop box, been using it since it first came out.

I broke into my homebrew zero nic today. I was craving Vanilla Custard sooooooooo bad, I couldn't wait another minute! Gave the 'ole Aqua a bath, put in fresh cotton, filled that tank, and Wow! Now I sweeten my juice with agave nectar. For 60ml I used 15 drops. It adds just a hint of sweetness, without being sickening. I use VG, which is a little sweet to boot. I bottom-fill my Aqua, so I see what shape my cotton is in before filling the tank.

You might not realize it Thaya, but you and FQ were my inspiration to finally be done. Looking at your sigs, and knowing that it was hard but you both did it made me determined not to give up.:wub:

:blush: Now with compliments!! You know, and I've posted this here a jillion times, its all due to my friends in this group. The patience, hugs, kicks in the ...., and brainstorming. Huge amount of support. We're all here for each other! Congrats on your milestone!!!

The way I have to look at is that $100 for eliquid is a lot less than what I'd pay if I was smoking. Have you checked out Aroma's unflavored? I haven't yet, but if I understand it's not infused with nicotine and if that's true, you can use it with nic to really stretch it. I need to refresh myself on that stuff. I do know it's more available now.

EMBRACE THE SUCK!


Wow, I had a lot of catching up to do!

Seems I'm coming down to the dregs of the $100 worth of WTA I ordered with my tax refund money. Now I need another tax refund, please. Guess I'll be back to white knuckling it if the cig-monster creeps back up on me. So far so good, though!

I like the black and copper one best of all but I missed out on that one and for now I don't really want a clone. Had I known they were only producing limited numbers I would have ordered that one when it first came out. Live and learn. :)

I'm not against clones but I wanted a couple of authentic mods and RDA's, now I have them and for a while I am done, depending on whatever legislation is coming I may be done forever. lol

Ohhhh Claudia - nice! I like the black and copper one :)

+1 on the rose gold :) love it!

My engagement ring is white and rose gold and our wedding bands are rose gold :)

Signed. That's like the old Humgo accts (a lot of 3rd party sellers). I don't understand how file hosts can offer unlimited for so cheap and online places are so expensive for so little space. On of those bugs me things. I also wondered if they can break strong encription for copyrighted backups. None of the file hosts accepted encription. I thought this did. I'll figure it out later.

Sooooooo, is Android compatable with Mac? I need to find me some forums.

Thanks. Yeah, I do overdrip sometimes but not that often anymore. My tobaccos are 70/30 and all others are 50/50. I can not handle higher vg juices because they do really bother my chest with heaviness. I am not vaping any 24mg anymore, I still have a few of the 18mg that I am now solely dripping or put in an evod. All the newer stuff is 12mg. I do nothing with cinnamons or spices or custards and I am only buying from Ahlusion and Plume Room. No more trading for any and all flavors and vendors.

I am finding that I am having wheezing at night more so than the first few months I vaped and coughing so I am pretty sure that I need to cut back on my vaping. I have not had a cigarette and I am not around smokers at all so my 46 years of smoking may be catching up to me.

Lung hit or mouth hit. I learned to do mouth hits when I started vaping in June. With the Igo-L I find that because of the draw (and I think the nature of the beast) I am doing lung inhales, even when I am consciously trying not to. The difference between the draw on the Igo-L (and the Octopus atty) are different. I do not know if it is because of the atty or me. I am working on that aspect. I do not want to do direct lung hits; I know it can not be good for me.

Part of the leaking is over-dripping and yes the tipping with the Provari.

As far as the chest hurting with 18mg, what's your pg/vg ratio and do you lung hit or mouth hit the Igo? I had to drop from 24 to 18mg but what hurt my throat was normally a higher pg (above 20%) and changing that made the difference

Got Clouds?

Congratulations on your new acquisitions!

Limit? What's a limit?

Yes vaping the higher nic on RDA didn't hurt my throat or chest it hurt my head and gave me quite the buzz, in short it made me a bit nic sick and was the perfect excuse to cut my nicotine level down. I can vape 12 mg even on my two dual coil setups, yes I got another RDA, but my goal is to get at least close to 0 nic.

I lost my mind completely Friday, heard that the Red Copper JD Stingray was being released at Vaperev at 11:00 am pdt and they had a very very few that would be available online. They only made 1000 of them and aren't going to make any more, Cliff was sitting here driving me crazy talking non stop about the race car motor. I said to myself self you aren't going to get one anyway why not play and try, well I actually managed to click at all the right times and got one.

I'm a sucker for pretty shiny copper or rose gold anything, my favorite pieces of jewelry are rose gold and the ring I wear all the time is Black Hills Gold, a gold band with rose gold and green gold grape leaves.

I have officially entered the ranks of mod collector, lol, with two limited edition authentic mods. This absolutely has to be IT, no more mods unless I happen to win one. I keep telling myself that it's worth it if it keeps me from smoking, but there is a limit. lol

hmm, it seems i have dropped my nic level without realizing it. i was on my diy 30mg and switched to use a vendor flavor at 24mg. decided i wanted more vg in my diy so i cut that down to 24. the juice i got in my contest win that came with the aqua is only 12mg, but i guess at dual coils its counting as 24mg? im satisfied with it when i use it. but i keep wanting to use it and find myself on the edge of too much nic. so i put it back down or grab another pv

I do not know how it works with dual coils, but going from a 510 atty or an evod to an Igo-L I am having to drop my nic down to 12mg. And I am thinking that 12mg may be too high and too harsh. I can still use 18mg in my evods and on my 510 attys but not working on the Igo-L. Seems to be a common thing. I read about it all over ECF with people using the RBAs.

When I started vaping in June 2013 it was all about the clearos and protanks. I got introduced to the 510 attys early on. But lots of people were vaping the higher nic. Also, there was lots of higher nic in the swap threads. Now it seems like everyone is using Kayfuns or their cousins and all are vaping 6mg or 12mg nic.

That was a pretty quick cultural change. Come to think of it, I did not really remember reading a lot about sub ohms until last summer. That is pretty new too, I think. This is a quick moving hobby/obsession.
