Still smoking support and chat thread

[ShariR]

I just got back from taking DH to his pool league so I stopped at Walgreens to buy some 100% sterile cotton. You know, the stuff Johnson and Johnson made back in the middle ages and sold in every drug store in America. First, the pharmacy tech did not know what I was talking about and had to ask the pharmacist. He suggested I go to a medical supply store. Asked the mgr and all they have are the cosmetic cotton balls. Same exact thing at CVS, Walmart, and 2 grocery stores.

I am old. This world is crazy. If it is not a precut packaged gauze pad or bandaids, forget it where I live. I needed a bottle of plain old regular aspirin. Go down the pain relief aisle. I had to hunt for it. 3/4 of an aisle of every kind of pain relief concoction you can think of and just two slots for aspirin, big or little bottle.

Took me a bit to catch up! Wow!!! Claudia, you are inspiring me to give coils another go. I am going to try as soon as my hands are less stiff. Erise that Pic was perfect! You all are such a great bunch! I luv you all!!!!!!!

Welcome to newbies I haven't met! I haven't been feeling great, so, we'll get acquainted soon!

Hope you all are having a great night!

You have some really pretty ones! What's the atty on the red one on the right at the back? That looks really nice, and would look great on my red spinner!

I use organic cotton balls from Walgreens, it is what was recommended to me.

That's actually purple and it's called the Tumbler on a purple spinner. The colors match perfectly. I got the Fast Tech version and it's working well. Desert Vapes carries them too.

I'm liking mine too. I got the same color as yours, and a blue one.

Oh, and evod/protank heads don't work in them. They do for a little bit but soon after you get nothing out of them.

You must have an upscale Walgreens. Mine does not have organic cotton balls. This is a town of over 30k people 35 miles south of Nashville. I might as well be in the Amazon jungle. Ridiculous. I am wasting more money on gas driving around looking for stuff normal people buy every day. I must be having a bad day. Tomorrow will be better.

Do you boil your organic cotton balls? I can not even find them in my neighborhood. Or sterile cotton. I really do not want to use any yarn if I do not have to.

What's wrong with Karen? Is she sick? Did I miss a post?

Karen, wherever you are, please feel better soon.

Oh and welcome to the thread, Willie, friend of Alisa. Glad you stopped by. Hang out and chat.

I'm so jealous of Claudia, building coils and such. I keep talking like I'm gonna, and I just never get around to doing it. I think I'm afraid to jump in.

I don't have any kanthal, but I do have some boiled cotton.

I even keep telling myself to just start re-wicking all my clearos with it, but I never do. I guess I'm just lazy. I never did find my iTaste this time around. I just ordered another one to replace it. Should be here on Wednesday. $30. Not bad, but will I ever get to rebuilding???

Thanks, purple is great too!

Our town is a small fraction of yours we aren't even 10k and our Walgreens is pretty small.

No I don't boil them, the first few hits taste off but then it gets good.

Cheer up, you could live on a tiny island way down east in Maine like me!!!

I know what you mean about not being able to get things everyone else can get. Even after driving for two hours to the nearest big town that has the most stuff, we still can't get the simplest things. It's frustrating!!!
