Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[Maytwin]

Thanks all for the well wishes. I'm off to beddy bye now. I can't sleep on my favorite side, so here's hoping.

Hope by the time you read this you're well rested and feeling much better - take care

@oplholik , sounds very scary. I'm glad you got the treatment you needed successfully. Hope you get lots of rest and feel better soon. I admire your optimistic approach and hoping you get back up to speed quickly (but take your time, if you know what I mean).

Prayers for you and your family....

Anna

I'm back after a 3 day, 3 night forced hiatus. I was sitting here at the computer Monday evening about 5pm and got real dizzy, then blacked out and started convulsing. The whole episode lasted about 10 seconds, and it took awhile to figure out just what had happened, and I waited about an hour and it happened again. this time I told the wife to get me up to urgent care. It happened again on the way there, and several times while checking in and being seen by the staff, and doctor. They put me on the EKG machine and called for an ambulance. Once I left there and was admitted to the ER it didn't happen again until later in the day on Tuesday, and a few more times during that day, and Wednesday. During my stay there I had a cat scan on my head, and lungs, then an ex ray of my chest and lungs, an angiogram on all the main arteries from my heart, and up thru the neck. What it finally came down to was the bottom half of my heart was skipping a beat and not getting blood to the brain. So last nite they installed a pacemaker, and said problem solved. Man that was some scary stuff going on there.
Fortunately, that was the only thing they found wrong, and fortunately that after 55+ years of smoking, and 7 years of vaping, everything else is working as it should. I think I'm lucky.
Now I just gotta catch up on my sleep. Not one decent night's sleep in the last three nights. ZZzzz.

Very glad your okay and getting better,stuff like that takes a lot out of you.
It'll be 2 years in April I had my pacemaker installed.Like yourself I was getting really dizzy and passing out all the time.At first they thought an inner ear infection and after a few more fainting spells and a trip to the ER and a ton of monitoring it turned out to be complete atrioventrical block and off I went by ambulance to the big city and got me a pacemaker.

Get Well Soon oplholik !!!

I have Virdigo (sp?) and that was my very first thought, but after the second one, I started thinking, ehh, maybe not.

Holy crap! How scary! Glad they figured out what's wrong.

I have an arrythmia too but no symptoms and doc told me if some day it gets worse I'll get a pacemaker.

Vapourart (GP) has announced they are closing the doors. It has been fairly clear it was coming for a while but still one of the legends. If you are one of the ones who have enjoyed their products go by and give @perseas a shout out.

I don't like side air but that is a killer design for those that do and are MTL vapers.

why don't you like side air? Isn't that normal for RDA's? (I'm pretty much an RDA noob)

From a cursory examination, it doesn't look too bad at all Some minor design points could have been improved (eg enabling the deck to drain completely when used as a bottom feeder) but the proof of a pudding is in the eating

I'm thinking about upping my nic level to stop vaping non stop. I've been at 3mg/ml strength for a couple of years now and I never put it down. I'm vaping more than ever. I'm thinking about upping the nic from 3mg to 6mg or maybe 9mg.

Dave...have you ever tried...(or considered trying)...WTA e-juice?

I posted in a different thread:

"The first time I ran across Aroma's site (and had never tried WTA)...I checked out their prices...

Unflavored WTA...WTA-24mg. $24.50/15ml. and WTA-36mg. $28.50/15ml....

Flavored WTA...WTA-6mg./12mg./24mg. $12/10ml. and $24/30ml....

So...I went with the flavored WTA (cheapest/ml.)...and the WTA-24mg. (since the 6mg.,12mg. and 24mg. were the same price = cheapest/mg.)...

When I increase my regular Nicotine-6mg. to Nicotine-9mg....I get quite nauseous...but the WTA-24mg. causes NO hassles...

Me, personally, I keep my Nicotine-6mg. e-juices and WTA-24mg. e-juices in different Tanks...and vape whatever suits me in the moment...

I don't NEED the WTA...I just vape it because it's so incredibly PLEASURABLE...

(Actually, I find myself doing a number of things that I don't NEED...but that are PLEASURABLE...eg. going to a Steak Restaurant, watching "Happy!" on TV, etc.etc.etc.)"

Yes it is and why I have drawers full of RTAs
Love me some air coming underneath the coil.

you can tell the difference?

 

[ToolmanTexas]

you can tell the difference?

I personally can and much prefer air from under than coming from the side.

I had a few MTL RDAs like the Magma, Tugboat, etc. and much prefer the flavor I get from under coil air.

Does anyone know if this part where my finger is comes off on the Triton? I just want to remove it to help it dry quicker after washing
