Sdh I hope that foam works out for you...yes reupholstering is a pain in the ...!

Mark, unexpected surprises like your de bridged atty are great

Dee, that's just wrong on so many levels about your nephew! I'm angry for you and him. And as for the rest of your preachin, I for one already knew you were an outlaw, and if it means anything to you to hear it...I love ya anyway! You're good people, down to earth and honest! If the bud was legal, we'd have a lot less BS in this country!

I'll give you back your soap box now...

Evening everyone I had an unexpected surprise today too, but not as happy as Mark's. The air conditioner in my car has gone to meet it's maker I stopped by one place and they wouldn't just put freon in it, they wanted to put a dye in it to see if there is a leak...$170 just for that! Fixing it will depend on if / where the leak is. Needless to say I said no thanks. Just put freon in the damn thing...I think I'll know if it leaks out when the air doesn't cool. I guess that's not very ecology minded of me tho. Just for my evil thoughts, it'll probably turn out to be the compressor

Bo I filled my own. For around $25.00 you can get a little kit thet will fill it at the autoparts store. Heres one from Autozone. Quest/R134a Sub-Zero rechill kit (322) | Freon Charging Kit | AutoZone.com
It also has instructions. It's very easy to do. It's also environmentally safe. Not much harder than putting air in the tire. Same principal.

 

[Bovinia]

Thank you 5c! I'm embarrassed to say that I've forgotten that I can do some things like this myself. It's just been a long time since I had to do the car stuff

Yall know me, I'm rarely in a foul mood, but I tore into the 4th wrong number debt collecting caller on my cell this afternoon. It really pisses me off to waste the minutes I have to pay for to get someone else's wrong numbers! Shaking it off now...!

 

[lilac7779]

Bov, sorry for your troubles and aggravations, hun. Those days come around, but they, too, pass. Thank God.

 

[Bovinia]

Yes they do Lilac! I just have to grump a bit and get it out of my system.

I realized a few minutes ago that I have one huge item to add to my Grateful list. This week marks 1 year ago that Mike was kind enough to give me a job! Working with Notcigs, Terri, Lorrie and Mike has been a wonderful learning experience, a journey in self esteem, and the joy of making (most) customers happy! And I still get to hang out with the best people in the world right here! It doesn't get much better than that

Thank you Notcigs! Thank you Buzzards!

 

[Wharf Rat]

Woot wooT Bov !!!!

 

[markfm]

The debt collector stuff can be annoying. I had a message on my cell sat, some random agency. I'm positive I have nothing outstanding, but returned the call - nobody there to answer it, though the call got placed to me on sat. Must have been someone doing work from home, calling numbers, miss dialed and left me a message.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Ain't it funny LD, the crap they can come up with to ruin a young man's life.

Most of you know where I've been and come through, next month I'll have 20 years clean and sober. Caffeine and Nicotine are my only drugs of choice now. That being said I did everything under the sun that's been around for over 20 years. And by far the worst drug I ever did was..... Alcohol !!! The only one that's legal, the country's Drug of Choice. There is nothing as debilitating, that ruins more lives and kills more people.

But mention wackie baccie let alone smell of it and it the end of the moral fabric of the country. Sometimes I wonder...

Legalize it, regulate it, keep it out of the hands of minors (as best you can, studies show HS kids can buy it much easier than beer) and it will run the gangs and cartels out of here. And keep thousands out of jail needlessly.



Wow, I haven't been on a soapbox in a long time

 

[lilac7779]

Happy Anniversary, Bovinia. You got a job and Not Cigs and their customers got a great rep.

 

[Bovinia]

Wharf, I wish I could like your post many times over!! Congratz on your soon to be 20 years!! As many times as you and I have talked about this subject, you know that I was there too...and sober for almost 25 years.

Legalize it, regulate it, keep it out of the hands of minors (as best you can, studies show HS kids can buy it much easier than beer) and it will run the gangs and cartels out of here. And keep thousands out of jail needlessly.

Yes, yes and hell yes!!! And that's coming from someone who doesn't even partake!

Thanks Lilac

Mark, I didn't call any of them back. All the calls are for the same person, I guess she must have had this number before me. I already wasted minutes listening to the voice mail. My caller id only works if you are on my contacts list, and most debt collectors block caller id anyway.

 

[5cardstud]

I get a lot of frustration out yelling at they debt collectors. They quit calling me. I guess they didn't know anyone could be that abrasive. I'm currently working over the dish network. Just finished with Comcast and got it for $2.74 above my internet bill. Who said being rude doesn't pay.

I hit the vape shop in Myrtle Beach today....Got reamed on a box of Boges,,,,but hey I needed a pack NOW!!!! I'd seen on FB they had Kanger Pro tanks in stock...Hey a 5 pack of Pro coils was $5.95...Yeah I got 2 packs and a Pro Tank...I'm loving the tank so far...510 connection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've used pure grain high proof alcohol for extraction of many things...Stevia....Vanilla for Mom...Well I've had Purple Haze floating around my head since Tracy mentioned it...As I was in the truck all day I'd more than enough time to solve the world's problems...I've seen ratios for extracting fruit flavors...I've done vanilla for Mom...Then it dawned on me that likely that vanilla may be a go as a juice flavor...Just grain alcohol instead of PG...What brought this train of thought on...I got this other cousin with a son...He posted some pics of Hypnotic vodka holding down a circle of Ben Franklins...Yeah he's a real gangster...Not mentioning the fact he's airing his business on FB...Anyway...Hypnotic is one of the three flavors in Purple Haze...I've looked at RTS and Hypnotic wasn't an option I could find...The guy that sells the Haze could have an in house flavor OR....It's Hypnotic vodka...French vodka to BTW...I'm gonna order a bottle of Haze and some flavors from that cat...

ElDee!
I'm anxious to hear about your results with the hypnotic vodka! What I did was, I ordered Earl Grey Tea flavoring and Organic Grape through Natures flavors (not cheap!) and then I found some HYPNO (or HPNO? one or the other) from I believe ecigexpress. I've mixed up some tasty DIY's with it so far. I also just ordered another 60ml bottle from vendor and I'd be more than happy to send you some so you can try it out? Let me know. I've found (thanks to the helpful friends we have here) that you need to go real light on the tea. I think I mixed a 10 ml bottle with 2% tea, 8% HYPNO and 10% grape.

Ya know, there are so many NEW types of drugs out there now. It seems I'm reading something new to watch out for the kids for all the time! Scary! something called strawberry quick ( a type of speed), E, Molly (looks like crack in a capsule), bath salts. My God, their getting wasted on cough and cold syrups even! Cripes!!! I commend you for helping your nephew. My hats off to ya ElDee!!

 

[908Tracy]

Good morning Buzzards!!!!

Congratulations bov, on your one year anniversary!!! Notcigs is lucky to have you too girl! We love ya!!!

 

[sashwa]

Congrats, Bov!

 

[El Dee]

The winds of change are blowing on the drug war...part of it anyway...Corporations have gotten the scent of money and this is Corporate 'Merica....My sources indicate that within two years there will be medical ......... or full scale legalization.My money is on medical as legalization would surely allow a few plants be grown for personal consumption...I can't remember the two Congressmen involved..I can remember they want half a million as bond for medical suppliers...Republican tell me one more time how you support small business $500,000??? Pfzier's got it...If I did I sure as hell wouldn't be worried about providing anything too anyone...

Strawberry Quick is Methamphetamine....When the purest form is cooked it kinda has a pinkish color...Don't ask how I know...This form ain't ahh coming from ephedrine outta a .... head's back yard...It is the world's most addictive substance bar none...even nicotine...Some have reported lower grades being colored pink...I guess that's possible but my experience would indicate the product dissolving upon contact with liquid...At any rate it is past dangerous...Damage is quick and irrepairable...Way down in South East NC I passed a run down brick home with a burned too the ground storage building out back. It could be a really nice crib if taken proper care of...The burned storage building ???? Combined with the run down appearance....... lab explosion....They should have never killed Pablo....

Molly is .......back in the day it was plain old MDA...code named DOG and hence Aerosmith's Walking the Dog...Used legally for a while for psycho analysis with things like marriage counseling...That stuff is the World's best truth serum...Low doses are relatively safe but it does cause elevated body temps as the blood will be ahh flowing...To much can cook you literally...Combine the fact it comes from a clandestine lab and Houston we have a problemoHH........ is one precusser short of .......

Tracy...My question is...Do you think the Hypnotic flavor is actually Hypnotic Vodka??? I may purchase a bottle for exploration...After yesterday I could use a good stiff drink so it wouldn't go too waste should it be un-vapable.....

The Nature's Flavors....I may be totally wrong here but I believe they extract with grain alcohol with fresh fruits and such...Earl Grey for example...Stuff a container with the real Earl Grey and top with the alcohol...Couple days you got Earl Grey flavored alcohol...If they can do it so can I...but again I may be totally wrong...I did read where strawberries were extracted using this method..Now strawberries will be running out of our ears soon...Mom slices a bowl and covers them with sugar...This makes them produce a juice...One of my dear departed Granny's fresh scratch biscuits soaked with that juice...Man I loved that...

 

[Bovinia]

Dee, I'm fairly sure this is what you are looking for (altho I see they are out of stock) http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-supp.../hypnotic-mist-by-flavourart-select-size.html

I'm unfortunately all too familiar with some of the new dangers on the streets, along with some of the older hard core brain fryers because of AH. It's a scarey thing to think about kids experimenting, not to mention the lives that are torn apart over it.

Sorry to hear that your nephew isn't as innocent as you first thought, but I bet putting the fear of Dee in him will help.

Afternoon all! Thank you for the kind words Ahh...spring cleaning today, love it and hate it at the same time!

 

[908Tracy]

ElDee,

I really don't know if it tastes like there's alcohol in the hypnotic mist (hypno). I do know that Mark advised me to leave the lids off of my NF flavorings to let the alcohol evaporate. I did, and was all the better for doing so.(Thanks Mark!) Had a funky chemically (I guess alcohol?) smell before which is less pronounced now. I've found that if you do try some from the vendor, the smaller bottles have the better taste straight out of the mailbox. My guess is that they have a certain amount premixed at that size which have steeped to their potential. When I order the larger size it definitely needs more steeping time. HTH!

Yes Bov, that's it with the link above! I remember back in the early days everyone was going nuts trying to figure out what the heck it was with the Hypnotic Mist and I just had to try some.....to me it tastes and smells a bit like a cross between Sprite (lemon-lime soda) and Fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA! Love me some Fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA to this very day!

 

[Bovinia]

Yep Tracy, first time I bought and tried Hypnotic Mist was about 2 years ago, I vaped it for a good while. To me it's citrus-y with a touch of creaminess, maybe vanilla. It's nice as a stand alone.

I evap the alcohol off my Nature's Flavors too, partly for the taste, but mainly because I don't like a hard throat hit.

What a beautiful day here today!! Low 70s and just a tad of breeze. Hate to say it but the ac will have to go in the window soon. I'm in the upstairs bedroom that gets eastern shade only until about 9am, then southern, and western sun all the rest of the day. These old cape cod style houses have attic space above, as well as on the sides. My room has attic space on the western side with no window on that side to vent the hot air out. Even today I can open my closet door and it's like opening an oven. The basement is still nice and cool tho
