CL hoping the new job won't have vaping Nazis....

Dang 5....5 pairs of shades??? I'm still rolling with the Ray Bans I won on the bay last year...Used but new and a little more than 1/2 price...Somebody "borrows" them and I'd be pizzed...and unable to go outside!! Sis found a nice pair of ladies RBs on the beach Memorial Day....

Dang I'd hoped to take that tub surf side today but due too BIL being at the lake....For a fill in I cut the last tree and got the River Birch planted in the wet spot...Just enough sun coming in now that I'm sure it will explode with growth...The tub is riding tomorrow!!!

 

[Bovinia]

Nice choice for the soggy spot Dee. River birches are pretty trees

 

[Wharf Rat]

Congrats Fran !!!

In your many years together I'm sure the topic as come up but what flavors would be your all time favorites. And who knows maybe your answer has changed sence the last time this topic was brought up..... I have been vapping for 2 years now and my fav as changed many times. Not sure every one is like me but I get burnt out on flavors kind quickly so tend to switch frequently. My last fav was a dragons blood made with dragon fruit, strawberry, sweet cream, Bavarian cream, vanilla swirl and cotton candy. But TFA put out a list of all there flavors containing custard notes and it took away two of the main flavors in the mix. So now I made a mix with mandarin orange and redbull I think it's good but not going to stay on top of the list for very long I fear. So I hope we can share flavors in hopes I can find my flavor of the month.

Here I sit, vaping from an Ikenvape 901 atty I found in my pile of memories, old-school devices I'd stashed away, fragments of myself of not-so-long-ago, frozen in time.

The draw was a touch tight, but I remedied that old-school, backing the atty off a quarter-turn.

Among the historical artifacts were the copper 510 attys I'd bought in anticipation of the first-generation brass Infinity I'd ordered, so to be vaping a color-coordinated package. Little did I know of the comedy of Korean machine-shop errors I'd be both victim and the proud owner of: a first-and-only Notcigs product recall—a moment resounding in vaping history—due to the connector cavity having been drilled to too deep a dimension.

Oh, and to a Korean point-of-view: brass? Copper? What's the difference? Well, to begin with, there's no more tenacious a corrosion-magnet than copper. Ask anyone who's bought a cheap ring in a Hong Kong tourist-trap only to go through the remainder of their life explaining the phosphorous-green band around the base of their left-hand ring finger—or homophobia preventing, their right ear lobe.

Mike made good on it—I scored a Dripper—and his Paso Robles minions know how to read an engineering drawing.

And my mind drifts, connects to, blends with those I knew then, shared the same tribulations of leaky atties and incredibly ignorant smoking-Nazis in their midst.

FranC was there. She was always there. She was low-key, but/and she knew. She was a constant in a vaping world changing, evolving—not always improving.

My deeply heartfelt congratulations—and thanks—to FranC, for being our bedrock.

Congratulations, Fran. Four years vaping....a great accomplishment.

CL I'm living on Dragon's Blood ATM....Snake Oil other days.....

 

[5cardstud]

CL I'm still using the same flavors I used 5 yrs. ago. I branched out to the fruit, candy, and pastry flavors for awhile but ended up giving most of them away. I switch between about 5 flavors during the day.

LD there's nothing like birch trees. They mave good bout wood and canoes too.

PI I know what you mean. I look through the drawers at all the old vaping equip and wonder how I ever used some of them. It's come along way.

Nice post PI! I revisited my box of goodies recently as well. Makes me smile when I remember how excited we were to try new things. We sure have come a L O N G way!

CL, I have a few faves for sure. Purple Haze has been my ADV for quite some time. Love it! Then there's Banana Cream Pie, Cinnamon Red Hots (thanks for the tip, I made it just a bit strong this first time but its still good!) and I am about to mix up some Snake Oil, which I am real excited to try. Next up of the flavors to buy are the ingredients to make that Dragons Blood ElDee is vaping!

 

[FranC]

Morning,Tracy

 

[FranC]

Bov,when ya get here can you send me the link for the ss carto tool please.

 

[El Dee]

Fran if the SS carto tool you speak of is the "Slap your mama" pm me your address...Pretty sure I've got one in the archives doing no one any good...I'll send it your way....

All that hoopla surrounding the Dragon's Blood and Snake Oil and I forgot all about the Purple Haze...I knew there was a third juice I wanted to throw together last mix and for the life of me could not remember the PH....

908 DD is certainly very beautiful...Hoping all was wonderful for her last evening....Old boy ran into my Sis and Niece at WallyWurld last week and asked me if she was 16/17...I told him no....12....but my Browning 12 gauge is 40...wanna see that????? Coping with babies growing into ladies.???? I guess I gotta adapt to the changes....

Sitting and waiting on BIL to head surfside...He said he'd call but as of yet has not....Hoping he doesn't get spanked here in a few....

 

[FranC]

Dee,thank you so much. Pm coming.

 

[908Tracy]

Aw thanks ElDee @ dd. I know just what you mean about babies growing into young ladies, it ain't easy! Loved the comment about the browning gauge being 40. I'll have to remember that one.

Morning Fran! Sorry I posted and ran again as usual. haha Tons of little things to do around here.....back later!

 

[Bovinia]

Morning all! LOL @ the 12 gauge comment Dee

Fran, Dee beat me to it on the Slap Yo Mama tool and good deal to boot!

I'm a creature of habit, so when it comes to juice flavors it's no different. I found my niche in bakery flavors early on in my 4 years of vaping, and altho I have tried many fruits, tobaccos, and such...I still end up right back on my home made Caramel Coconut juice, and Cinnamon Roll. Those 2 are always loaded and at the ready on my every day use Buzz Pros. I have a Coconut Mint that I vape occasionally, but I always crave the first two I mentioned.

Boy am I gonna be sorry that I didn't mow yesterday! Told Katie that I'd do it today, and it's already swamp azz hot and humid! Ahh well...maybe I'll burn a calorie of 2 while I'm at it

 

[Clmarti78]

I'm not familiar with the purple haze or snake oil. I haven't tried to many bakery items maybe it's time. Can I get some recipes so I can try something new? I have many flavors to play with but always willing to buy more if needed. Thanks you are all great here. Off to a kiddos birthday party if I make it out alive I will check in later.

Bo I have a calorie or two......awe I mean a whole bunch of them I can throw in if you run short.

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

I've got 5 or 6 I could let go of, cheap (my body seems intent on hanging onto them in my belly, saving them for a rainy day). Just let me know and I'll PIF them to you.
