Still smoking support and chat thread

I was stuck half way between Ecigs and Analogs for awhile too, until I found the right juice that gave me a taste good enough to overcome the cravings.

The makers of that juice are having contest, if anyone is interested in spamming it up to win a free 30ml of juice.

Just one contest win so far, and it was from tuning in to vapers.tv when Ken Anodizers Rowe was showing off his lathe. Awesome drip tip though

I'll freely admit that I'm selective in the contests I enter. No juice-only ones unless it's a favorite brand.

[Karen N Daytona]

[alisa1970]

Wow, not much going on here, huh?

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

 

[ShariR]

Happy Saturday all. All have arrived. Mail Monday. Will update.

Bought our granite yesterday. Did not get the pink vein one I posted here. DH and I chickened out. He made an executive decision, upped the anty and got one called Yellow River. It has more of the creams, caramels, browns and grey/blue veins. Not as busy as the other but beautiful, still lots of color and movement. Will also not be a slap you in the face statement of pink and blue.

Ins adjuster did see the light and agreed that we have real solid hardwood and that all the lower cabinets must be removed and hardwood underneath needs to be replaced. Waiting for adjusted estimate sometime next week. Plumber was here, plumbing will have to be moved, not much, but needs to move since island is being moved and faced in a different direction.

I think our contractor made a great find for us. We have a good sized Amish community about 50 miles from us. He found us 4 inch wide hand hewn white oak hardwood made by an Amish carpenter. So our living room, dining room and kitchen will be custom cut oak hardwood from the Amish. We are thrilled and expect it to be beautiful. I am very excited that a large chunk of the insurance money will be going to a local craftsman and not Home Depot or Lowes.

Just rewicked the R91 that has a 1.6ohm coil and loaded it up with CPBT. Good taste for first 6 vapes. Now tasting a little burnt. Why can I not get this stupid cotton right???

 

[darksparkle13]

Awesome on the hardwood find!!!!
Just curious but have you tried cotton yarn? I use that to do my rebuilds and i LOVE it....

I have been reading about the Peaches and Cream yarn at Walmart. I am considering it. But I am also stubborn. I am on a personal mission to master and make submissive that cotton ball.

Next time I am near a Walmart I will pick up a skein of the yarn. (I read that you use one strand; do you boil it? And, if so, for how long?) But I am still going to somehow figure out how much of that cotton is necessary to work in my Russians. It is now personal pride. My ego and intelligence is being threatened by a cotton ball. If everyone else in the world has been able to figure it out, then I will. This is just ridiculous.

I don't boil it and I'm using three strands on a micro coil. It's 4 ply and I pull one of the four strands off.

Thanks Claudia. This cotton ball wicking is more finicky that I expected. I have been using too much cotton and then too little. Once I figure out the right amount I will be good to go. The yarn does sound good, just have to figure out the length for the vape I like.

I was starting to get pretty good at wicking with the Organic cotton, but still not as consistent as I would like, I bought a skein of the P&C shortly after buying the organic cotton and it has been sitting here for months so I decided to give it a try. I think it is a lot easier to get a good consistent wick than the cotton balls.

I know now everyone is raving about the Japanese cotton make up pads, but my question is where is the cotton they are made of being grown, anywhere near the radiation polluted areas? Until I know the answer to that I'm staying away from it.

I also have heard about that Japanese cotton, I think from Sephora. Pricey, but everyone who has tried it raves about it. I watched a video on it and it looks super easy to use and a lot less guessing for amount to use. It is going to be hard to confirm where that cotton is grown. Japan is so small would they even grow a crop like cotton? Is the climate right in the affected area?

Ok. I love my evic supreme. But it seems to drain batteries 2x fast as evic. Same wattage setting. Hmm. I THINK I can use my old larger capacity batteries s long as I don't go over 11 watts (old evic max) or the battery amp limit.

Girlfriend is using my old evic. Still wants a tighter draw.

 

[Topdogie01]

And I just realized im a veteran now. Hmm. Does not seem like I have been on ecf that long

 

[aikanae1]

CONGRATS!
(I missed my date too - time fly's when your having fun, eh?)

 

[Topdogie01]

Does this mean im wiser? Im still intimidated by building a new coil. Once it's working fine im confident with it. Need to build Russian and play with it on evic-s.

 

[darksparkle13]

Wow it's kinda quite here, I got classified and have been perusing the classified sections! and now am out of monies again! Lol
When does the obcession stop?
Have a great day all!

I tend to browse the section and drool at what is being sold. There was a beautiful pipe mod I would love to use for a day (Halloween) as it would fit a costume perfectly. Or use at home every day.

Most of the people are willing to wiggle a bit in price. Had one member in Hawaii I asked if he could include a bag of macadamia nut Hershey kisses in(pretty much only found in Hawaii unless you want to pay high prices from a reseller). Sure, there was room in the box, pay the price of the bag. Which incidentally raised the price back to the asking price lol.

Ive been using only 2 flavors recently. Trying to save favorite flavors for childs surgery to comfort myself. Trying to figure out how to get money to get a large bottle of it. And plan out where all the ecig stores are so I can visit them.

Child is starting to get the hang of potty training. Not using a kids training potty or special seat cover. This way he can do it himself anywhere we go.

I have been smoking a lot, just found out that work is basically screwing me over have been working a project for almost nine months and now the upper management has decided that the position is moving to a different department, and with a pay cut, so now I have to decide to stay where I am at and go back to my old job or move to the new position for less money, it pisses me off that I have worked so arched and made it successful when no one else could and now I just got kicked in the nether region!
So pisseed and frustrated! And my boss is ...... to they basically pulled the rug from her as well, ugh......
Anyway, last night I decided to clean out all of my tanks, restart some new flavors to try and get thru this without becoming a full time smoker again!
