Jimmy, I love you man! Lol
In any case, no, I would most likely not head in to the doctor if it was cigarettes rather than vaping. It is an interesting thought though...
I think Robin and Shadav are correct. It has been one heck of a year, and they are both close friends here on ecf, so they know. Our family has been through death, divorce, interstate moving, a whole lot of chain yanking on location and timing of said move, flipping a house from another state on the weekends, taking a full three months to move, nearly brand new house with an already failed septic system, misbehaving kids, a grandchild in the middle of her *sadistic threes*, and more. We have only started to come out on the other side in the last 5-6 weeks actually. That is enough to deal with on its own, but add to that the fact that I have PTSD, depression, ADHD, and a wanna be auto - immune that refuses to be diagnosed.
Yep, I think when the bottom of the basket fell out on the stress level, the need for high nic did too.
As for the PH stuff, all I knew is that PH of your nic juice is actually what determine whether it cracks polycarbonate or not. But I try only to use glass or ss, so that's kind of moot...
