Thanks!!!!


And again. Thanks!!



Safety blanket, love it



We vape alike. I hate a hot vape or throat hit.

FQ I didn't quote you, although I thought I did but I am so proud of you!!!

Oh boy. We now have a mobile quoting monster... lol. Makes ut easier to check the forums.

I just got my email saying I qualify for financial assistance for college again. But need to talk with the guidance councilor about needing to start at a wierd date. Trying to decide if I want to wait until after child heals from surgery to start or not.

Also awaiting on the hospital administration to contact me. Trying to get them to formally allow ecigs. They have unused meeting rooms that could be used for vapers if they don't want them in the waiting rooms. Right now they are banned on property along with any form of tobacco.

I think I went the longest without a cigarette in some time, about 4 hours. I might need to up my nicotine from 12mg: I was almost chain-vaping. I was just using my flea-market EGo, nothing special- it tends to vape warm.

Today I got a 14500 mod in the mail, an EGo-RS. It has 4 3-click voltages settings and a removable 14500 battery. I think it's good (with some faults- the button is almost flush), glad I didn't pay too much for it, but I think I do like it better than the cheap EGo batteries I have tried. I'm considering buying an L-Rider Lambo/Robust, also a 14500 VV 14500 mod. I like lower wattages (higher resistance atomizers here, 2.6-3.0) and longer draws so I can fine-tune the amount of nicotine I get. 5 to 5 1/2 watts seems plenty for me, especially vaping juices like WTA or NET that have a lot of throat hit already.

I can't suggest strongly enough the Innokin SVD, rock-solid (I drove over mine with an 80,000 lb semi and its pristine) and has insane control over power levels. Last check was around $40.

4 PAD is a pretty heavy habit to dump. Some of it for me is that cigs are like a safety blanket too. It scares me to be without them, what if I get upset over something - yes, I use them to calm me down, chill sticks. That is the MEGA challenge for me and the number 1 reason I end up smoking again.

My actual point is that everyone has their triggers that are like needs for smoking. It helps me to recognize what mine are and help prepare for them, figure out contingency plans - alternatives. At one time I used running. Then walking (not as fun). I've hit thrift stores for awhile. Something. I think I hang out here sometimes and it's kinda weird to talk about eliquids and vaping while smoking a cigarette. Yes it can be done, I've done it but I find myself prefferring to vape more. I think that's why I hang out in DIY looking at flavors and reciepes (not as expensive as mods). Others have said that's why they tinker with coil building and clouds.

Whatever works.
Except maybe killing someone.
Or maxing the cc's out.

Aik,

Kamry k101 - $28
30ga kanthal - $7
CVS organic cotton - $4

Huge clouds and tons of room to play... priceless.

Just sayin'

hmm, was watching a UK medical tv show.. (Embarrassing Bodies) and they asked the audience to take quizzes on their website (Embarrassing Bodies - My MindChecker - Channel 4) to see where you fall in terms of "risk" of different mental issues.
OCD. im at high risk. lol. my computer desk has to be arranged a certain way. my desktop has to have icons a certain way, when a new program has an icon i have to rearranged my entire desktop.
Addiction (addictive Peronality) i have a medium-high risk. i become obsessed with new things that interest me. especially online games. and now ecigs. oh the hours i have spent looking at ecig things.
Autism. High risk. if i was worried about autisim in my self, i should see a doctor to have it diagnosed. but i function well i think. plus people in mathmatisical and Computer Sciences fields tend to score high in this test. im IT.

and my biggest news. i just submitted my application for college. now awaiting them to let me know. im afraid i will be declined because my high school/college classes that qualified me for admittance expired last year, and i dont have the 3 years IT work history they want. and i dont have another college courses to transfer in. gah. hoping i will be accepted though. then cant start until July (at the earliest if child is home from hospital) if i am accepted. im nervous and wanting a cigarette right now. girlfriends taste horrible so i wont use hers. thinking i may just go to bed and hope it will pass by the time i get up.

 

[darksparkle13]

I am afraid to take the test, I already know I am OCD, have an addictive personality, and bi polar, hahahah
Good thing I know all this and manage very well!

My Russian 91% V2 from Kebo is a work of art that has a piece of doggie doo doo hanging out it's behind. Love it, but the spring loaded center pin will not hold the resistance. My ohms are jumping all over the place, even on my Provari for the past several days. Kebo is claiming that they will not sell anymore. There are vendors out there still selling the spring loaded pin, be careful if you order a R91. I am quite angry over this bad R91. I seem to have no recourse since I got it in a coop. All the FatDaddy fixes do not work for the Kebo R91 and the 2 other vendors that sell the v1 pins are sold out of ridiculously price screws (like $26 or so for 2 stinking screw to make up center pin).

Today is my birthday and I have a non working Russian that I am putting in a box (coffin), so I am going shopping for a version 1 Russian or, more likely, a Kayfun Lite Plus. Don't want a Fasttech one so I am on the hunt. See you all later.

 

[beebopnjazz]

Awww, sorry Shari Good luck on your hunt

Happy Birthday

I can't like this post Shari, another reason for me to resist co-ops.

On a lighter note, Happy Birthday.

Thanks. Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I wait too long and overthink stuff. If I had bought the thing a couple months ago there would have been no problem. Stuff happens. It will sort itself out one way or another down the road.

 

[darksparkle13]

That sucks but happy birthday! I hope you find what you are looking for!

 

[ShariR]

The funny thing is, is that I will find what I want and then think about it so long that it goes obsolete. A character flaw in me.

 

[fpkites]

Happy Birthday Shari! Hang on to the Russian, just put it to the side until more/better parts come to the market!

Guess I've been MIA for a while. I've read every single post though, so keeping up

So, I went to the B&M to look at the 2 Kayfuns they had and the Russians. All clones, but I knew that going in, and I didn't have a problem with it.

Shop guy talked me out of the Kayfun and the Russian, got me into an Aqua clone. I thought I liked it, and my first build worked, but I figured I could do better (dual horizontal micro coils). The problem with Aqua, is it's pretty much mandatory dual coil. Even though it was working, I tore it down and did dual vertical nano coils. My wicking skills don't appear to be too good with nanos Dang thing dry hits quick.

So, I went to the other B&M because they restocked the high-VG juice I loved, and lo and behold, an HCigar Kayfun 3.1 was calling my name from the display. Picked it up, ran home and first build right out of the block was...well...GREAT!!! It vapes great, and flavor is out of this world! Sooo much better than Protanks, and even outperforms my RSST Genesis style atty. I'm pretty sure that's my All Day Device! Loving it!

I was on a preorder for custom engraved Nemesis clones from Zamplebox, and got that on Monday. #66 of 100. Now I have that and my K100, still have my 2 Kanger EVOD VVs and my MVP V2. My collection isn't nearly like Karen's, but it's getting there

I thought I had found the ever-elusive ADV. It was one of the juices I got in a ZB package, so I bought 60mls of it. Turns out they diluted it for the samples (haven't gotten an admission of guilt from ZB or the juice vendor), and the direct stuff is much stronger. I think I'll try cutting it with VG to bring it down to what I really liked. Should make 60mls stretch farther though!

I'm still smoking, but maintaining less than I did pre-vaping. 1/2-3/4 PAD vs 1 PAD. I think it's partially the social aspect at work, as well as the "schedule". I just can't find the motivation to use my PV instead of an analog when we step outside for a smoke. Maybe some of that is my search for my ADV? One of the employees from accounting is using her PV out there, maybe I need to try syncing up break times with her. It might also be the nicotine buzz that I still get from analogs (probably more oxygen deprivation than anything else) that keeps me reaching for them. With smoking cheap analogs, I'm getting the sensitive throat/lungs, so a mouth to lung inhale is causing coughs no matter what PG/VG ratio, so it's dang near impossible to stealth vape at my desk, and if I see any vapor drifting up, I look like I'm swatting at mosquitoes trying to break it up so it doesn't bother my cubicle neighbors. Really frustrating

There's no written policy at work forbidding vaping where smoking isn't allowed, and Denver doesn't have a law on the books (yet), but I don't want to be the reason for them writing the policy, you know?

Yet another long-winded post by Jim...lol!!

 

[Karen N Daytona]

Hello everybody!!!!!!!!!!!! I spoke to SS today, money is starting to move!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRAY they now have it in the payment center. I don't know how long it takes from there. but we have some progress!!!!!! Yippee!

Already got Vape Mail today the DNA 20 came from Rocky Top Vapor ! It's tiny! I haven't used it yet, it needed a charge, like the MVP the battery is part of the unit. It works on Watts only, and I will let you know what I think when it finishes charging.
It came with a new iCear glass X.1 tank nice!!!!! Flavor is excellent!
I have to try the juice when the vapor shark DNA 20 is finished charging. everything else is in play right now. LOL

Nothing else new to report! waiting on the eRoll, kind of excited about that one too!

Nice job Uncle

The funny thing is, is that I will find what I want and then think about it so long that it goes obsolete. A character flaw in me.

Some people call that a vape budget.
