Sorry to hear about your accident, Karen. I hope it warms up for you soon. This polar vortex crap is getting ridiculous.

i'm a clutz! I am mad at myself, so stupid! I hope it warms up a for everyone! It's crazy out there!
I found a good sweatshirt and cushy socks that helped a lot! Put more bacitracin on and covered with band-aids, that worked to let me type, It was to uncomfortable to rest my arm while I typed, this helped to be able to put my arm down.
I put together a good vape, ry4/vanilla/ bakery- cinnamon roll, good flavor! these were pre-made I just mixed them to see how they went together, I am still having trouble with the whole DIY thing. My brain just won't wrap around it all . It would be so much more cost efficient, I don't know why I can't seem to concentrate on learning it. Makes me mad at myself! That and the coils. I would save a fortune. I get that, I have the desire to do it and then when I go to start learning it. I am not getting it. I am waiting to see if its from my TIA's or something. Next time I have any good amount of money I am going to go to local shop to learn coils,(you have to buy the wick and wire) and an order from Wizard, Heartland or One stop for DIY stuff. all I need is the tall glass tube for measuring and maybe two or three different large needles. I have some flavor and some premixed 50/50 unflavored 24 mg so I can just use that.
I'll have to try that combo to doctor up some Ry4 I have that I'm not real fond of.
I'm sure you can get a handle on DIY and coil making if that's what you want to do. Just start simple and work your way up. I'm about to give up on the flavor chase and just stick to the couple of flavors I know I like. It gets very expensive to buy so much juice and end up with none that you can vape for long before getting sick of it.
Karen, I hope you are all right.
I have to be extra careful about where I put things because I am a klutz and if something is in the wrong place or moved, I will trip over it. And DH with the CP is not steady on his feet to start with. With the construction in the kitchen, it has been quite the challenge. Worse than putting roller skates on us earlier today. I had to pick up all the drop cloths, on the hardwood it was like walking on a sheet of ice.
I always make sure that there is a clear path from the bedroom to the kitchen and then to the bathroom, no matter the projects going on. Have to. DH will get up in middle of night for a snack. I trip over my own feet. lol

luckily, I didn't break anything, at least it doesn't feel like it. The worst I did was the scrape on my arm it is really burning and red. It stopped bleeding, so that is good.
You have to both be careful, for me that would be a mine field. I am sure I would not do well!

I am having a weird night with my vaping. I actually wish I WANTED a cigarette. I do not want one. But I have been vaping so much the past couple of days that I think I have vaped myself to vaper's tongue. Only one of my tobaccos even tastes decent. All the bakery type stuff and even my teas are tasting - dirty. I changed coils, I changed devices and coils and voltage. I have been changing juices all day. Just plain dirty. Drowning myself with water. So I guess I am in for a stint of Vaper's Tongue. Such joy.....

the only reorders I would make so far are from ITCVapes, an RY4 and another called Adirondack Black these two could be my ADV's easily.
MBV (never tried any other) Caramel Candy, Butterscotch, and cream flavors as mixers
Vaper Society Kingpin Vanilla something I still really like this one too ADV
Whole Cig WTA
Niquid Soho tobacco with the above flavors mixed
Lots I would like to try but still waiting for my decision on the hearing.
The powers that be have decided to delay school and work by 2 hours. I'm freezing! There's still melty snow on the ground, the temps dropped overnight so what melted yesterday re-froze. Hope the roads are safe by 9.
The dentist called off yesterday, they are supposed to call me this morning to reschedule. I am going to work without my partial. I can lose face but I can't afford to lose my job. So I'll spend the day not smiling or yawning, and covering my mouth with my hand.
Still not smoking, a win, because I sure could do it right now!! Hope you all have a great day. . .

I feel like a kid who came home from College one weekend only to discover that his parents had moved and didn't tell him!
And, out for 4 days and there's already 35 pages of posts? You guys trying to ruin me?????
Your job sounds really interesting Marla, and congratulations on the new grandbaby!
I have a granddaughter and two grandsons, aged 9, 7, and 5. That's part of the reason I'm doing more vaping, and very little smoking. At 61, I want to be around to watch them grow up and have families of their own!

So sorry about your fall Karen. Since I am new, I don't know what kind of babies Rambo and Rocky are, but it must be nice to have them snuggled up with you.
I picked up three cigarettes out of habit this morning. It stinks, because when I go to bed at night, I love the fact that I'm not wheezing any more. I need to try to do better so I don't start smoking more and vaping less. It's so hard to get off of cigarettes!

I was looking at some flavorings too. Thinking about buying some premixed 70/30 24mg and flavors. I was scared of it at first, because I thought you had to buy the high nicotine stuff and start from scratch, but now I know I don't. I've also got some pretty flavorless juice. If I get flavorings, I might be able to make it taste good!
I'll guess I might try that before the coils. It sounds easier.
Edit:Lots of people call me "Grace" because I'm a clutz too!

Welcome to our new home, Mark. It only took you 4 days to find us?
Have fun catching up. 
Don't feel bad about backsliding, Kathi. It happens to the best of us. Old habits are hard to break and smoking is one of the worst. All that extra stuff they put in cigarettes isn't just to make them taste good.
I haven't tried DIY or coils yet myself. I do have some flavorings and add a few drops here and there to juices that don't quite make the grade. Sometimes it helps, and sometimes it makes them worse. I think coils are next on my agenda, but I'm such a procrastinator. Hopefully it'll happen before the end of the world.
Y'all don't be scared of DIY flavors or coils, there's no way you could come up with some of the stuff I have. I made a coil for an Evod that was so crooked it immediately shorted out POP all that time wasted. Oh well, pulled off another length of wire and did it again. Eventually I was getting them more right than wrong. Same with flavors. Some winners and some really scary losers. Remember Cup of Coffee with Clove Cigarette .... Floating? And the always famous Baby Powder, Stinky Feet, Burnt Dirt, and Oh My God What Is This Juice? 
Trial and error.
Spent 2 hours in the dentist chair, got new impressions made, will have a new temp partial in 2 weeks or so. (Bless my friend!!) They glued and prayed the old one back together, it no longer fits right, I talk really weird, but I look normal! I got some cuts and bruises in my mouth, but did not have a panic attack, thank you God.
Still not smoking, although a trip to the gas station this morning was really tempting. White knuckles!

Wooo Hooo! Glad to hear that you'll have your new ones in a couple of weeks and that they were able to cob your old ones together enough to hold you over.
It's cold, wet, raining here. It's been raining for a couple of days and the hell hounds are about to go nuts -- I have one that is doing dead runs, back and forth, from one end of the house to the other. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have such big dogs ... but if you happen to be walking through the house during one of his runs your best bet is to get the heck out of the way! I'd get onto him, but I'm feeling too bad for him -- he has to get the energy out someway.
I repaired my frig/freezer (again) today ... replaced 3 parts, and I'm hoping that does the trick. About the only other issue it could be is power surges ... and having that taken care of would cost me more than a new frig.
Still waiting on this lemon flavor
There are times that I can't keep up. No shame in that. If I missed something, I'm sure the community would tell me. Just jump in when ya' can.
I would think power surging yoyr power provider would need to check it out as the problem could be in thier end. Or maybe feedback on the circut from something turning in and off?

I'm so glad you are getting new ones, and you can wear the old ones until they are done! I had to go for several weeks with no teeth when I got mine. It was terrible!
I'm glad you are getting fixed up.
For anyone afraid they can't make their own coils, I jumped in with both feet today. I had made a couple of coils but hadn't tried them because the only RDA I had had a perfectly good coil and I wasn't going to take it out to test the resistance of the two I had made that looked pretty good. I ordered a second RDA and it came today so I put my first coil in and tested the resistance, 1.4 ohms, IMHO perfect. Went ahead and built the atty and it's working great, so if I can have success on my first try the rest of you guys can certainly do it.
