Vapaholics Anonymous - Part 2

[luvinit]

Reidus,, so glad you're home safe and sound,, and that home wasn't horribly damaged. Any damage is not good, but yeah, it could have been so much worse!

Glen,,, I somehow ended up with some 3.0 tank cartos and they just didn't cut it on my Twists,,, but they're quite fabulous on the Lambo at 5 volts and up. It still kinda amazes me the difference all the different configurations of gear can make.

So, not that I needed anything but I had a $10 credit at MVS so I went ahead and ordered a pink Twist, another atty for the Lambo and another thread sleeve. The pink Twist is a 650, so should be smaller for the work pocket.. should be here before we head out for vacation on Saturday. And I bought a little carry case at Walmart to take all my STUFF. I've spent way more time worried about packing vaping gear than packing the suitcase

Update: got my HHV order today. Heather and Adam included a sampler of Dark Horse tobacco blend. One word... YUM! I know! Me? Tobacco flavor?? I wish I had some Gandalf left to compare it to, but I'm thinking I like this one even better than Gandalf. And just so ya know, I tried it with the atty on the Lambo at 5.4 volts (heehee!)

AND.. I wanted to let you guys know that I filled up that Kanger T2 with some HHV DD Watermelon and so far, so very good!! Filled it up, let it sit for just a bit and been hitting it for a few hours now with not one single dry hit. I should say though, that I've been reading some threads where people have had a little trouble with the dry hit thing, so as a preventative measure I trimmed a tad off that little plastic cap that sits over the coil. It certainly hasn't hurt anything. We'll see how it does long term, but so far I'm really liking it! Nice recommendation, guys!

 

[Reidus]

Hi guys, hope y'all are having a great day!
Luv, I haven't had any dry hit issues with my Kangers so far. I do let them sit for a bit to wick up the juice. I too have a 650 twist which is my go-to-school device, lol. Perfect size.
Glen, no go on my insurance. After Katrina, the only way to get home-owners here is to have a $5000 deductible on hurricane damage. It's fine though; it should only take a couple of hundred to repair the ceiling. and as far as the fence goes, it's more a matter of figuring how to replace the post than anything else. Shouldn't be expensive either.
I'm getting ready to place an ECB order. Just have to figure out exactly what I want. Tears definitely, as well as the Berry Shortcakce; it's actually better than Ms. T's. Oh and Kiss as well, lol. I'm also planning a Mr. e order. I plan on informing my mailman so he can keep a look out for them this time.
I'm cleaning things up around here today and need to run to the store. I threw out everything in my fridge before leaving, so I need to stock up. Y'all have a great day!

Luv - Glad you're liking the T2 and the 3ohm cartos on the Lambo. You pretty much have 2/3 of my preferred juice delivery setup and you just need to add a couple of CE3s in there.

Reidus - Sorry to hear about the insurance deal, but that does make sense. After all, why would they offer an insurance plan that might actually have to pay something out? That wouldn't make the investors too happy, now would it? In any case, just glad you're safe and the damage is manageable.

BTW - How's the Phoenix RBA working out for you?

Good mornin lizards.. hope y'all are havin a fine day. I'm still loving that Kanger.. I vaped through an entire tank of DDWatermelon at work last night. Not even one dry hit, even when the liquid level got low. Refilled this morning and working great! I sold my Epower, batts, charger and EgoC system today to a guy in NJ so happy to have found a home for that. No orders for me for at least a couple weeks.. should get my PINK Twist tomorrow and I'll be set for vacation. Vape on, guys!!

And that means a lot coming from someone like yourself who isn't really fond of clearomizers! I'm glad it's working out so well for you as it's definitely my favorite clearo to date.

Hi y'all just poppin in to say hi ya!!! One of my fav days of the year and my 'Boys are winning....Yahooo!!!!! Wonderful day!

Reidus so happy to hear the the damage was minimal! A bit of hassle but in comparison definitely in the win column.

Vape stuff I got a mess of stuff on its way this week! Over 160mls from Alice, a new dual charger, a couple of batteries and about 70 mils from Ahlusion.....

Oh we're in the red zone gotta go.. Have a good night!

 

[Mythus2012]

I just received my latest Alice order and well...I just had to show you....I LOVE it!!!!! The little charms made me soooo happy!!!!

 

[CheekyMonkey]

I can't quite make them out - what are they Mythus?

 

[Mythus2012]

On the White Rabbit its a bunny head, on Cupcake City its a cupcake house, a Chinese fan on Mystic Mandalime, a spoon on Crunkberry, a hummingbird on Cherry Blossom and on Lemon Loves Cake,a heart with "love" in the middle...they are sooo cool!!! But most of the bottles I bought are bigger 30 and 60...so I have to figure out a way to carry them around...hhuuummmm

 

[Mythus2012]

Hey guys, just curious....in terms of cost, what do you consider a large juice order?

 

[luvinit]

Hmmmmmmm, a large juice order?? Well, all those Alice bottles looks like a pretty large order to me! The charms are a nice touch! I think the biggest juice order I've done was a little less than $100. That was huge for me.

Bad news on the Kanger. It was very floody and gurgly last night. I took the tip off and it dumped juice all over my brand spankin new pink twist. ARGGGGG! Total waste of some lovely watermelon juice!!! What the hell??? Maybe I filled it too high? I don't know, but I'm sorely disappointed. Another disappointment is my Zoe. OK, the bottle I have is kinda old.. it's turned an icky brown color. It's thick, and I've thinned it with pg, I've thinned it with water.. and of course, it doesn't taste anything like the ol Zoe I used to know. I think I'll have to toss it and get a fresh one. I had such high hopes for that Kanger!

Working day shift today,, we're leaving for vacation bright and early tomorrow morning and one of the girls was nice enough to switch shifts with me so I can hit the hay at a decent hour tonight. I'll have to pack and clean the house tonight... yes, I'm one of those people that cleans the house before I leave Dang, getting up when it's still dark sux!!! Doesn't help that I only slept about two and a half hours last night.. happens every time, can't sleep cuz I know I have to get up.

Hope you all have a fabulous day..

In my eyes, a large juice order would be around $50. I have yet to drop that amount on any one place in one single order, though I have probably paid well over that amount to MEL in the past month due to trying new juices and being too sad when they are gone to not order big bottles immediately.

Luv: Aww....sad for loss of juice, I know how you feel. Jake has been having issues recently with tanks. He somehow keeps dumping tank after tank. I can't figure out how and he has no clue...he says it just happens. I have begun to transfer him off of tanks and into clearos where hopefully he won't have that problem. Oh and also....have fun on your vacation!

Jake and I are heading off for our anniversary this weekend. I'm excited. He is taking me to the Idaho Falls Museum and Zoo and we got a Jacuzzi suite with my rewards points from excessive traveling for work. Yay!

Actually, $50 is a standard order for me, but I only order juice once a month so I get it all out of the way in one shot. I don't know what I'll do if/when ECB pulls that 20% discount code.

That's it! No more clearos for you!

I had this happen once and it was because when I unscrewed the tip, the head unscrewed a bit as well, allowing the juice to seep in under the threads of the head. Make sure that when you remove the tip to refill, you check that the head is still tight and that should resolve those issues for you.

 

[XIVChrissyVIX]

Glen: You have a very good point in that! I am well on my way to determining which juices are my favs and once I do that, I figure my own orders will become less sporatic and will likely average $50.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Oh boy! A big juice order for me pre surgery was over $100, and I was ordering ALL the time! My juice orders are smaller now, I think the last ECB order was around $100, but I've been making the majority of my juices lately, which is a whole lot cheaper when you're not using nic! It really looks like my juice orders are going to be small going forward, and mostly for Iron Monkey since he still vapes nic

Luv & Chrissy - enjoy your vacations!!! They both sound like really lovely get aways
Mythus - the charms sound charming & adorable & make me want to place an order with Alice!

Our AC blew again Wednesday night - it lasted all of a day and a half before the transformer caught fire. Again. Our AC guy came out and fixed it Thursday AM (again), but at a minimum the compressor has to be replaced because it's seizing, which causes the transformer to blow/catch fire. There is a disagreement about who is responsible for replacing it, sooooo.... we're turning it off at night & when we leave the house/using it as little as possible in hopes that this transformer lasts until someone takes responsibility & gets the system fixed. Bah.

Nothing exciting to report - waiting for home PT to be approved, still not driving, went to Walmart with Iron Monkey today - as usual there were no electric carts available & this time I decided I should push a cart because I'm supposed to walk more. Ummmm... I'm paying for that decision! Oh well - these things happen

Happy vaping Friday!

 

[luvinit]

Glen.. I took the tip off and tightened the atty head in there and it seems to be performing much better. It fills with vapor though, is that normal? It doesn't seem to affect the vape any so it isn't a big deal. And it dissipates eventually.

Chrissy, I hope you have a wonderful time!! It sounds awesome!

Cheeky, when will you learn?? I'd be the same way though,, you must be going stir-crazy!!

I think I'm packed. It would be easier if hubby didn't have to take everything he owns.. I'll be checking in on ya guys!!
Vape on, lizards!

 

[luvinit]

Look what I just bought!!! BullBoxMods.. Brett makes them. It's stone. Ain't she purdy!

 

[Mythus2012]

OK...that's about what I figured on juice...right around $100 is rather large...

Luv and Chrissy...I hope you girls have a BLAST on vaca!!!! I'm sooo jealous!!! You ladies deserve every minute of relaxation and fun this weekend, enjoy it!!!

See Luv that's why I don't worry about tanks hardly any more...I don't have to worry about losing tons of juice...again and again...just partial drip drops now and again and with my DCA, its pretty rare even at that! I LOVE dripping...and I get to try all my new juices right away. I remember one night, I think it was my first DeeJ order I spent over an hour just tasting all of my new flavors!!!

Stay safe...Luv she's a beaut!!!
