Still smoking support and chat thread

S03E10. Its creepy, scary and hillarious. There's a thousand quotable lines in it and I love quantum stuff. The dr. isn't in it much (he's an egg).
I haven't paid much attention to anything Bond. I'll have to check it out.

I am going to have to watch it again! I remember it as the most scared I've been watching TV, since I was a young'un, watching "Wait until Dark"!

And sorry if I leaked a spoiler!!! So different from the 70's version (which I really didn't like, despite the fact that I was surrounded by fans). If you haven't, I'd suggest you read "The spy who loved me" by Ian Fleming. It's a James Bond novel, and nothing like the movie. I think you will understand the context and hope you would enjoy it!

It's an amazing series, mostly (IMHO) because it's not really about the Dr. or about the challenges, it's about the people around him and the deep stories of their lives. And Seasons 6 and 7 won't disappoint you. ("Asylum of the Daleks" was a punch in the gut!)

Could it be ethyl maltol crystals? I read in the DIY section that they can be hard to dissolve. But you would think that MBV would have that totally under control before they shipped a juice to you.

JJ,

Have you tried using saline instead of lemon juice? I have used lemon juice to perk up a mix, but the scuttlebut is that it also kills the flavor after a little bit of time (only used it in an atty-mix, so don't know for sure)

I haven't tried saline myself, but I will!

Also, I got that Pineapple Upside-Down cake flavor from MBV. It worries me; there's a powder that settles out of the liquid; i've been reluctant to try it. Even with a good shake, its back again the next day. Perhaps I'll just leave what settles out in the bottle. Can't figure out what it could be, though, there isn't cinnamon in PUD cake, and I don't think it could be brown sugar, any ideas?

EM u dissolve in PG usually 1 tsp or tbsp to 10ml pg i got it written down somewhere around here lol but u warm up pg then add crystals then mix around until fully dissolved

I will not buy any juice from a brand new vendor. Especially the ones that just pop up out of nowhere and start threads with contests on here without giving a good sized paragraph about who they are, what their experience is and what type of facility they are producing out of. I stick with the major well known vendors. I do check out some of the new places websites. That one paragraph description of who they are, if it is even there, does not cut the mustard for me. What gets me even more is the prices some of them are charging: either dirt cheap or out in space. Nope. Not for me.

Rant on Sir Lox.

Ok maybe a rant coming maybe not
The industry is being saturated with juice vendors. Ok that's usually good for the consumer when a market becomes more competitive but in this case I fear it's not. Too many people are just jumping into an open market with little or no experience both as a business person and as a manufacturer. They do little or no research and quality control. I'm all for mom and pop business however it seems to me if your going to do something you should do it right. With so many new vapers we are seeing more and more allergic reactions and side effects. I was shocked to see vendors selling juice with diacetyl and even more shocked they had no idea what it is. That whole thing came out in 2010. Plus some are using essential oils and oil based flavorings etc. Not to mention there's food grade vs pharma grade vg and pg. (Pharma grade is used in inhalers and prescription items) guess which costs more yeah you can buy gallons of pg at feed stores and vg at candle and hobby supply stores. Would I inhale it? Nope!
Just because you can eat or ingest it doesn't make it safe to inhale. Try inhaling a Big Mac and let me know how that works out for you also things need to be sanitized. Your inhaling it not eating it. Bacteria contamination that wouldn't make it past stomach acid will thrive in your lungs. I sometimes just get a mental image of a barefoot hillbilly mixing juice in his bathtub
Ok I can ramble all day but you get the gist of it. Do your research and ask the vendor for disclosure on ingredients, mixing procedures, sanitation, etc BEFORE you jump on the 150ml for 12 cents deal.

Ok that was definitely a rant

AS ALWAYS . . .

I know this might be a stupid question - however I thought I remembered that ECF was trying to get Vendors to commit to certain standards - this this just fail or is there a thread that list vendors as trust worthy in the chemicals they use and if they are using quality products . . .

If Not - WHY NOT ? ? ?

I am quite concerned as it is and this is one of the major reasons I am having a problem finding that ADV too . . . I am very leary of testing "Stuff", especially given that I already have COPD and am taking 3 different breathing Medications to assist "ME' with "My" Sleep Apnea/Allergies/Asthma (2 of them are Steroids) . . .

AND - Talk about feeling like a "Ginny-pig" - I am done with that . . . So far I have been staying with those Vendors that I trust to use quality products - as such, I have very limited "E-Liquids" available to "Me" . . .

Use caution when investigating your DIY ingredients - the last thing anyone needs is someone to be harmed....the FDA will run with it like they did the sole sample, way back when, which they continue to use to this day.

We've had this saline discussion before ..... It certainly does not belong in your lungs. Just because it's safe to put in your eyes or up your nose or to irrigate with doesn't mean your lungs are safe with it.

on the FYI ! ! !



To The Dr. Fans out there - Since I do not get cable and only have Netflix . . . SADLY I KNOW NOTHIN" THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING - Since David Tenant left the show . . . AND - What is even worse of I have yet to see anything of "Torchwood" after Series 3: Children of Earth (Thankfully - though I have the first 3 Seasons on DVD and can also see the series on Netflix) . . . I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER . . .

 

[JJ1977]

i tend to stay closer to older vendors than newer vendors, i search the forums for vendors who has a reputable for there flavors and less of a reaction from there flavors and are considered safe to vape without the extra crap im not looking for in vaping

It's a reddish-brown powder, like the color of cinnamon. It's very fine, but it does separate out. Definitely not EM!

Good morning everyone! Got my delivery of Killer Juice on Saturday, when I opened it yesterday one bottle was left out of the package. I emailed them, we'll see what happens. The one I most wanted to try!!! Boblo's Vanilla Custard.

I have a tank of the Killer Peach right now, it's pretty tasty. Fruits aren't my thing but it's a nice little change-up. The RY4 is not very tobacco-ish but I'll try it at different wattages and see what happens.

Still no desire to smoke, but not using WTA today, so might be getting antsy later on. Fingers crossed I might have jumped the hurdle already!

Have a wonderful day friends, see you later!

Due to no power or heat for a few days Walt held off on his cream mixes. They should've shipped separately by Saturday at the latest. The system that sends out the shipped information was also messed up during the shut down.

That sounds odd. I've heard if eliquid freezes it can crystalize. Might be worth asking MBV.

Happy St. Paddy's Day. No orange today!
Up in Wa we'd take the day off. Huge celebrations and a big event everywhere (lines by noon).
In Az? Nothing. Not even corned beef specials. I've missed the holiday for years.

Received an email from him this morning, deeply apologetic, that a few flavors sold out but he will ship it out to me today at the latest. I replied back that being sold out is a *good* thing, and that the sale must have brought him a lot of business. It's always nice to see a small business doing well. I'm not completely out of patience yet, but I'm sorta chomping at the bit to try it. I'll have to make do with the 6 other flavors I received.

On a totally unrelated note, I drove to Augusta GA this weekend to have my poor iPod looked at. It was broken in so many ways that it was replaced under warranty (yay me!!) and while there I was in line behind someone who left 2 brand new iPads and their iPhone on top of the car and drove away. He stated that one of them still worked despite it's condition, but when he ran over the second one it gave up. I felt pretty lousy with my petty little hairline crack after seeing that. . .

Hope your day is sunny!

 

[etherealink]

ok. that is fine. i replied to your message. my hours may be odd to "normal" working people. my house is on 2nd shift factory schedules. we leave for work around 2:30pm and get home around midnight (well, girlfriend does since im the stay at home dad..) and head to bed hopefully before 4am. my cell is normally on silent, because i forget to turn the ringer back on in the morning. i can place a call to pretty much anywhere in the world. just need a heads up of a few days if im calling internationally to re-setup my free minutes.

Lol, I know that schedule all too well. I drive overnights in a semi and get a big nervous when the sun is still out.

 

[etherealink]

Good afternoon! I hope you all have a fantastic day!

I am going to rest up this weekend, I got another letter from SS saying how much I am going to get toal back pay, which is less than I thought they deduct 5 months from the 2 years! They say that it doesn't count. BULL!!!
Anyway, I am so sick from it, I just am exhausted and have sleeping problems worse than ever. Just give me the money and leave me alone at this point. That's how I feel. I needed to get it off my chest! thanks for letting me rant, I'd write in all caps, but I am not yelling at you! just them! Monday, I go to battle to get this darn thing over. The way I see it, I won't get it till I start making noise. I've been patient long enough.

Thanks for letting me rant once again!!!

Exactly right Karen, sometimes you have to be the squeeky wheel.

That said, I hope they get it fixed for you soon, rant all you need to!

 

[etherealink]

nope i dont think so i stopped going to my local vape store due to the fact like you said oil based flavors being used, and when i asked a question he got agitated and started using big words thinking im some noob who just started with ejuices/ecigs i understand ur comment

My local shop only "dispenses" so they might be safe but I am still sticking with established vendors for a while. The b&m clearly is only there for a profit.
