The REO Lounge - Part III

[vsummer1]

Dear Valerie,

Congratulations! You have won a free iPad!

You were randomly selected among the 100 people who participated in the NicSelect "Test Your Knowledge of Nicotine" survey at Vapetoberfest last weekend.

Please send us your mailing address and we will put your iPad in the mail to you.

__________
I almost didn't enter because I had just taken the survey at Vapefest in Vegas, but the gentleman said I could, so I did. I don't know nothin' about no iPad! I am so excited! Anyone have one? Can I use it to surf the internet and read here? I think I know someone with one, and he is always taking pictures and uploading them, so I think it might even be able to do that!

I am so excited! And I didn't get an email like this after Vegas, so I think it might even be real! I actually touched that iPad, they had to show me how to use the touchscreen with the little stick

Anyway, back to your regular chat, I was just so excited I won something.

And even better, I use their nic from MFS so I don't even feel guilty for entering at both events! In fact, I put up the coupon for their nic on the deals and steals thread, so maybe it is karma for promoting them

Thanks Val, it's an actual lazy day today since i delivered this morning but have no load out till tomorrow. So here i sit in Florence, SC taking it easy for the day.

Wondering if anyone can help with providing info. I have a friend who tried an ego. The ejuice was a 50/50 blend at 6mg nic. She used it for four days then ended up with a migraine headache which she does not have a history of. Of course first thing that came to mind is a PG sensitivity. She loved the ecig and was able to go the full four days without an analog. Of course could be the nic level but 6mg is fairly low. Suggested she try a 100% VG even without nic to try to troubleshoot this. The only Vendor I know of that sells 100% VG is FuzionVapor for the Boba's. Can anyone else recommend a reputable vendor that sells 100% VG ejuices? I hate her having to fall back on analogs but also do not want to harm her health in anyway with the migraines. Help???????

Awesome congrats

Cheri i had bad headaches for the first few weeks of vaping. Never knew why but i associated mine with a higher nic level. I've never heard of a PG headache? How much did she smoke?

She was 1/2 pack day smoker. So thinking the 6mg nic is correct. From my knowledge it is 6mg for 1/2 pk day, 12mg for 1 pk day, etc etc Just hate to see someone have to give up on it and go back to analogs but guess it may not be for everyone. Might just be coincedience (sp) but don't want to risk having her continue vaping.

REOville!

I'm sure everyone knows how sweet and generous Kay is. But, I thought I'd post it anyway in case anyone has forgotten. She has gifted me an extremely nice something and I was speechless from her generosity.

Thank you so much again Kay! I'm very grateful.




I would like to ask that we make this a "Say something nice about Kay day". Hopefully that will make her day like she made mine!

That is Kay for you! She is AWESOME like that. She has gifted to me also for a dear elderly friend of mine. She is very kind and loving and helps so many out on these forums. I like the KAY KAY day idea!
WTG Kay we all love you so very much here in Reoville! Kudos!

 

[Dturp]

I'm actually willing to bet she got over nic'd i say that cause that's the right nic level and if she's chain vaping it's easy to do. And for me i did that a lot cause with a cig you knew you were done when it ran out. Vaping if you don't tell yourself to stop there's no sign till you've overdone it.

 

[lizardnipples]

Cheri, I would agree with Dave up there. She probably had a nic OD kinda sorta thing going on. She might have been puffing away all day long and it was just too much for her. I would think that even a 1/2 p a d smoker wouldn't get that satisfying vape to cut the jitters off of an eGo and 6mg juice IMHO. Is there any way that you could up her nic level to 12mg and see if that's more satisfying? Maybe if she gets a more calming vape less often her headaches may go away.

Edit: This same thing happened to my wife. She liked the flavor so much that she vaped herself sick. Now unfortunately, she still smokes.

Cheri I'd wager she is dehydrated.

Val I wouldn't wanna be without my iPad. It's just an iPad 1 but I love it. Prefect for in bed reading forum etc etc.

 

[lizardnipples]

I've always told people to go higher on the nic if you're trying to get off of the stinkies then cut down if you can.
1/2 ppd 12-18 mg
1-2 ppd 18-24 mg

FuzionVapor? Boba's is made by Alien Visions? I would go to them directly as they do all VG, Christy can't take PG at all. I use VG because I get a "fullness" in my throat when I use PG.

It could be the toxins in the cigarettes leaving her body, or LACK of nic kind of like a caffeine withdrawal will do... I would get her a normal nic level that corresponds to her cigarette intake, so if she smoked a few light cigs a day 6 would maybe be right, but most PAD smokers start much higher at about 18 mg to overcome any withdrawal symptoms.

I wish her the very best in figuring this out, headaches are the pits!

I agree. I was a 2 pad smoker and started at 24 had no cravings. Only took me going to the REO to cut down lol.

Thanks for the input. I have never had a tablet at all, so this is going to be wonderful! I spoke to my brother that has an iPad, and he said that any iPad is going to be great, even the lowest model is a great product and he can help me set it up. I bet it is the mini since DH said he thought it was about 7 or 8 inches. But to me that is perfect because, well, I won it and don't have one! The guy already answered me back and said he will be sending it shortly. Now I want to know what "shortly" means to him


ETA: I forgot to say:

Good point about the dehydration! That would do it for sure.

Good catch Darrel. Bet you are right.

Good Day REOkin,

low fifties here -- time to pull out the plushy throws

Hope all is toasty in your neck of the woods!

& KAYKAY ROCKS!

& Congrats vsummer1! Winning an iPad is fantastic

Ipads are pretty nice. I have the Ipad 2 and it works pretty well. i have mine set up with my Kindle so they sync, GPS for on the road, some photography software (photographers ephemeris and COC program), bluetooth to speakers for my music, Great devise to show pics on. I do wish integration with PCs was more straight forward (Drag and drop off USB). You'll like it. I do like watching Netflix on it too...in bed.

 

[vsummer1]

When I first got my REO, I didn't really know what RDA to use with it, or even have any wick other than mesh for my gennies. I had atties and cartos, but had no clue how an RDA would even be set up.

Kay immediately reached out, and sent me a goodie bag with, among other things, an A7 with some bamboo wick. She even set it up for me so I could see how it worked all set up since I only knew regular RBA's. I still use that A7 along with my RM2's.

Thanks Kay
for all you do
for all the REOnauts!

You are appreciated
and
loved! ​

Kay is the most stupendous, caring, giving, fun person in the universe. She likes grandkids, can repair anyone's computer, loves Reos almost as much as Elvis, and roots for the Yankees. Shes a great Oldbroad. Big bear hugs to Kay.

I would like to ask that we make this a ethi"Say somng nice about Kay day". Hopefully that will make her day like she made mine!

...even if you think you need to lie a little bit
