When I drive my wife's or moms car I get that same thing. When I drive my truck nobody cuts me off.
I once read a "psychology of the road" book. Had something to do with my street bike and all the jerks who constantly moved into my lane right where I was... Anyhoo... according to the shrinks, most people do not recognize anything smaller than themselves. No, that doesn't translate to you not seeing a spider... it refers to the guy in the Lincoln not recognizing the VW Golf as a real object needing space and respect.

I lost my Brother due to him having an accident on his Bike that was NOT his fault.. I have NO Respect for people that dont pay attention to people on Motorcycles or any Bike..

As for these kids in their big trucks pushing cars out of lanes so they can get ahead, well, I already told one what would happen if I saw him do it again...

Are these actual or made up numbers
No they are actual numbers, some of them are duplicates from bulk buying, like I now have 16 Istick Pico's, 26 sigelei 100 plus that were on a price cut, 7 RX200's, 8 Kangertech platiums, 3 stouts, 2 hexohms, 2 yihi ml's, 4 snow wolfs, 5 cuboid minis, 3 lava boxes, 6 cool fire plus, 2 normal, 5 IPV D3, 4 evic minis, and loads more of singles, way more sigelei's, smok stuff, Isticks, some high end stuff, mechs, geez I even stocked up on a load of Istick 30's, got tube mods, boxes of mods that are in storage. It gives you an idea, it's probably more like 200 plus mods with all the forgotten ones from last year. I will have to have a sort out.

acetone will remove the words and/or graphics
oh kewl, thanks! Hope I can remember that, cuz seems like I recall you or someone sayin it before but I forgot. But does it also take the color off the band, or only what's printed on it?

I hadn't heard it in that much detail, that's interesting. I'd just always heard that most folks don't see motorcycles. I always try to be very aware of em, cuz I've had friends and family, some killed some severely injured, cuz of stupid drivers.

Since vape bands mostly seem be be designed for 22mm tanks, I've found that usb cables shipped with phones are often secured by small black bands that fit my 18mm mini Buddhas quite well!

I saw a bunch of 18mm vape bands on that FT page, so you just need to browse a bit more. Or use the bands from the usb cables. Those are prolly cheaper. ;)

I don't order from SlowTech. At all.

I wouldn't, either, if it was something I needed fast. But they're cheap, and it's "One Stop Shopping," so that's where I ordered all our stock-up supplies. I'm sure there will be a few more things needed, but I think I have all the major things covered now.

I just saw on another thread that the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) has removed the ban on flavors in the deeming regs? So maybe we'll still be able to buy flavors for DIY? I certainly hope so! (The "keep kids off tobacco" people are howling over this injustice. Like kids are the only ones who like flavors...)

I hope that's true, but when I tried searching for it, didn't find any online news about it

    I know you don't, but I believe that Divine intervention is involved in things people do all the time

    Deb speaks the truth here! Woohoo!
    I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. IF divine intervention exists it is incredibly rare. Otherwise, the guy that was down on his luck would have gotten the food he needed to feed his family before he robbed a gas station and ruined his life. The lady in the pickup would have put down her phone before she drove into a house.

    And the man watching his 5 and 7 year old's limp bodies carried out of a burning house would have been strong enough to save them himself.

    I too would love that in one sense, and I can't say I fully understand why things like that are allowed, but I do believe there is a reason, and I don't think a world where nothing bad happens could work well with human nature. Of course just my belief, and I totally respect yours

    Here's the link that was posted in the other thread:

    White House scrapped FDA plan to restrict flavored e-cigarettes

    When I searched (as a test) "OMB removes flavor ban," that article came up as the first hit on the results page for me. I don't use Google, though, because I think they're "slanted," but I know most people do. Maybe that's why you didn't see anything? I dunno.

    Haven't tried it (don't use bands), but since the band color is built in and not layered on, should be ok.

    And, if your house contains nail polish remover, you have acetone :)

    There are two kinds now (for quite some time, actually). There's "regular" nail polish remover with acetone, and "non-acetone" remover for the ladies who have fake nails. Acetone dissolves the glue that sticks 'em on or something, so they came up with an alternative. I have no clue what the non-acetone stuff is made with, though. So you have to specifically get the acetone remover to get the acetone. I wouldn't even mention such a trivial fact, except if Deb has (or accidentally buys) the non-acetone stuff, it might not take the paint off the bands. It might, or it might not, depends on how strong the paint is, I guess. ;)

    how come?
    I'd rather order from shops/distributors stateside. Don't like waiting a month for shipments. I've ordered one thing from Gearbeast, that was actually a pre-order sale, and it took so long to be filled and shipped I'd forgotten about it.

    It was not my intent to be dismissive of your beliefs, I apologize if I was. Been back in one of my dark places lately, and this just touched a nerve. Angie would have been 21 a few days ago.
    Theologically speaking, I've never grasped the concept of everything that happens being part of God's plan, as that seems to negate the concept of free will, and without free will I can't make any theological sense out of Christianity. If, on the other hand, God simply sits back and lets thing unfold based strictly on natural laws and human choices, then, theologically speaking, Christianity can make sense. That's just how I have always seen things.
    14 years ago I knew what I believed. Then I lost 2 kids, and I went from being the pastor's kid who was going back to school with plans to enter the ministry myself, to being someone who no longer has any kind of certainty about spiritual matters. That doesn't seem like it fits with the idea of some preordained plan.
