If you're up for the rebuildable thing check out my pif rebuilding thread

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=595198
ShariR and all others,

thank you so much for the support. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, things have gotten crazy with school. Its so easy to let the vaping habit slip in times of stress. I almost automatically go back to smoking its so difficult to resist. I used to smoke cigarettes after every study break, every completed hw assignment, every test, every time i got in the car to drive to school, and after I get out of the car at school, before class and after class. So i've got a lot of association to break. vaping has helped a lot, but at the same time it seems like all my progress is erased at least until i can get a grip.

ShariR, I'm from Rocky Hill (that place you pass through on 91N going to hartford) and I havent been to Milford but I do love the shore. Just wish we had surfable waves..but oh well still lovely. My setup is an mvp 2.0 and an iclear 16. I was using my kanger protank2 but I ran out of coils for it. Im using the itaste because I have some unused coils stocked up (a whole two of them). I'm thinking about learning to use rebuildables and maybe even eventually get into diy juice like Timothy Moore was saying if anything just to save money. When I first got into this I didn't realize coils needed to be replaced.

And its really good to know that eventually the chase does end and satisfaction lasts. As far as juice chasing goes, I seem to end up sick of the juice i am vaping within a week or so. Maybe I should try unflavored? Anyone else experimented with unflavored?

I will certainly take the advice to take my time and enjoy it :)

Shari that sucks I am sorry! Getting around the system is frustrating!
Am sure this is a huge trigger! I think your stubbornness is the perfect tool for you!
I need to get stubborn on this! Yesterday I tried to only vape and sure enough anything that could go wrong with my gear did!
I had a coil break, had one of my build dry hitting, two batteries went dead.. Was trying some new juice and that did not go well!
Anyway trying again today,
That reminds me, after all the mess as of late I need to send out some juice and coils to my fellow rayon junkies...

Don't you just hate days like that. I have them too. I have one atty that it takes me over a half hour to mount the coil on it. I keep struggling with it just to show it I Will conquer it, so there!


I just got a kraken thinking that I would like it and I built my first vertical coil.. not any different really but I have built it twice now and jsut am not getting what I need from it. I am spoiled with my spheroids!

and yes very frustrating!!!! but I have my NET & WTA on hand that has been such a huge help...

If it's the Spheroid that I used to lust and drool over, I'm officially jealous. If it's not the same one, I owe you an apology! :blush:

Cussing a blue streak at them seems to make them behave... after a while.... ;)

You know the thing that REALLY gripes me, when I'm doing these tech-wizard things? Dropping things. Itty bitty things that are hard to hold onto and even to see properly, even when they're up-close in the light... once they've fallen to the floor, I have to jump back quickly (while cussing a blue streak), come over and flip on the overhead kitchen light (while cussing a blue streak, I hate overhead lights, especially fluorescents), grab my flashlight and a footstool to sit on (I can't squat, kills my legs, can't kneel, kills my knees), and try to find whatever cussed thing hit the floor. :-x

My cat hides when all this is going on. :D

I lost my first kayfun fill screw last night. I have been using r91 and kayfuns since last March. I had plenty of extras but I just had to spend 20 minutes looking for it and practically stripping to make sure it was not in my clothes. Then I had DH take my recliner and turn it on its side and shake it a little so I could see if the stupid little screw was under or in the chair. The chair must have eaten it. The screw never did turn up. So I went in the other room and just replaced it. But I had to look for that 20 minutes. Bah!

I have trouble with the itsy bitsy things too. I just went and had my eyes checked and found out I have a stigmatism. I just received my new rx reading glasses and they are wonderful. With a stigmatism your vision goes in and out of focus and that is part of my problem. These rx glasses are much better than the ones I get at Walgreen's or Walmart.

Andria, as long as its not sensitive electronics I just grab a magnet to pick it up. Lol.

I have a new ecig store that opened near me. And a hookah bar I want to visit once. The new ecig store has been badmouthed by 2 other local stores because its actually selling basic starter kits (900mah ego/clearo) for barely over what you would pay online. The mechs a a tad more pricey but he goes over everything with a new person. And will rebuild for you if you ask. For free. He never rebuilt a aqua tank before. He wont rebuild it anymore though :( lol. Its a pain to rebuild.

Had a customer in the ecig store let me try quit your grit strawberry milk flavor. Even filled my aqua with it. Immediately placed an order for more. Its currently on sale. ~7 for 30mls. And in Halloween themed bottles till end of the month.
Local store is orderng some higher nic liquids for people like me. He didn't believe I drip 24 mg until I proved it to him lol. He dripped some YUMMY chocolate cream horn onto his dripper to see what I thought of it and used 24 at my request. He couldn't even do 24. Highest he carried before today was 16.

10 days until im old. Turning 24 and have creaky knees, and grey (gray?) Hair overtaking my beard.

Also got 2 squares of that Japanese cotton. Not sure how I like it. So far I like rayon better. It is better than using plain cotton because no lumps.
22 days until childs wish trip. Not sure if im ready, or if we should have waited until he is older to enjoy everything. We will go to Disney again when he is older im sure!

I've had astigmatism since I was about 12, at least they first discovered it then -- when I first got the glasses for it, I swear the dang curb looked a foot tall! :shock: The only glasses I wear anymore are the "cheaters", and I'm up to 3.25, so from now I'll have to get my mom to order any higher diopters from one of her many "disabled persons" catalogs. :) But my main problem with my astigmatism is when I'm driving; my sense of depth perception is horrible, and I can't tell exactly how far off an oncoming car is, or how fast it's going, so I have to wait and wait and wait at many stop signs, driving all the poor folk behind me right out of their minds, I'm sure. I don't drive like a "granny" by any means, but I sure wait at stop signs like one. :D

At some point I'm going to have to get some *real* glasses, probably bifocals so I can also wear them for driving, so the astigmatism can be corrected for; it seems to get worse all the time. :( And I never ever drive at night; I'm blind as a bat in the dark, and unfortunately lacking bat-sonar. :D

I am having a horrible time driving at night, especially with glare. I thought it was getting old, but I wonder if it could be the stigmatism. I will have to call the eye dr and ask. Probably should have gotten bifocals, never thought of it.

I dunno if the night-blindness is related to the astigmatism or not; it runs in my family, my mom hasn't been able to drive at night in 40 yrs. Could even be a Vit. A deficiency, maybe; I don't get a lot of veggies high in Vit. A.
