Mornin, Lizards! Hope you're having a great AM. I'm so excited! My first Trippy's coming in, as well as a charger so I can use my e-power again! :rickroll::rickroll::banana::banana::banana: Hope we get updates from Cheeky re: Vapestock. I'm definitely planning on attending next year!

I'll do my best to update ya'll, but there's a good chance the updates are going to be in the form of a GIANT post on Sunday instead of little ones tonight & tomorrow :)

OMG.... how fabulous would it be if we ALL made it next year??? I'm almost giddy about it!!

I KNEW you guys would end up with at least one Twist!! That's an awesome deal,, but I really want a blue one!! And I'm really, really trying not to spend anything until I see what Gotvapes has in store for the alpha thing.. boy, it's hard! All this talk of tanks and vapemail..

Got a bite on some of my juices.. it's been slow going. Thanks to Cheeky and Wingsprouts for the bumps!

I signed up for the newsletter at that link Mythus put up... but I couldn't find any pics of their stuff.. anybody know where I can find some?

We have a whole year to plan for VapeStock 2013 - plenty of time to get all of the Vapaholics on board, plane tickets & rooms booked! We could probably even double/triple up on one of the suites if need be - we'll only be in there to sleep, afterall! :)

There are some pictures interspersed throughout the sagewood thread - the glass work they showed was stunning, and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on some deadhead vape glasswear!!! Beautimous :)

Glad you're getting some bites on the juices - I'll keep bumpin' ya up! I think I might take the remaining juices I have to VapeStock to try to trade them & repost any leftovers Sunday/Monday - hopefully I can trade it for something good (probably not juice though - I don't think there are many 0 nic vapers out there!)

Argh!!! The first step is to admit you're an addict, right? I just bought a mini monkeyboxx! Here's the link:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/sale-trade/303808-us-fs-mini-monkey-box.html

I keep thinking how great one of my trippy's will look on it! :facepalm:

The first step is joining the Vapaholics thread sugar lol I looked at that monkey box & was tempted myself - can't wait to see pictures of it with your trippy's on it!!! (I remember the buying phase you're going through now... it'll settle down a few thousand dollars from now lol)

REIDUS... I was looking at that last night!!!! You're welcome,,, for not buying it and leaving it for you :lol::lol:

:lol::lol::lol: Great minds!


That looks sweet Luv! Can't wait for your review of it :D
Well at least my Trippy's coming. Just checked and my charger won't be here until tomorrow! :(
Yay for trippies!!! Be gentle with the new charger when it comes, and thanks for breaking it - it got me off my .... & buying a back up charger just in case! Can you imagine me without the ability to charge?! I supposed I'd be okay, could still use a kgo or ego, but.... that just isn't the same! (and I don't have much in the way of LR cartos any more, either!) :eek:!

Yay! My trippy came in. Now I see what the fuss is about! And my juices from Cheeky as well! I just wish I could try them out. :cry:

lol you poor thing - so much yummy well steeped juice, and no ability to fully appreciate it! Do you not have ANY vaping gear that will work?!

I got my surgery scheduled yesterday - the ACDF will be the morning of July 10th, and I may be out of touch for a few days after, depending on 4g signal in the hospital/wi-fi access/morphine drip daze :)

I'm excited that I'm taking the first step on the road back to "normal", and also a little more freaked out lol Scheduling made it more real to me, and finding out that it's a 3h surgery, requires a full physical workup before hand (ekg, lung testing, etc to make sure my body can handle being out for so long), etc etc etc really made me face the fact that is isn't just a little thing, I won't be in & out like I was with my tonsils (I had them done at 20. I don't recommend it lol), or wisdom teeth, or even the RFA I had in January (RFA=radio frequency ablation, essentially burning the nerves that send pain signals to the brain). It's a full on major operation & um... I don't wanna!!!! :oops: I know it's going to go well, that I'll recover quickly (I'm young & in otherwise good health), but it's still scary, and makes me want a vat of leaded (nic'd up) juice to swim in lol

After scheduling, I made the mistake of googling cervical bone growth stims, and rather than the cute little pendant I thought it would be, the thing is massive & ugly, and when I combine it with the rigid neck brace, I'm going to scare the beejeebers out of small children (and myself!) lol (might make for a good sci-fi halloween costume though! :D) Wondering if I can prettify it, or if that would somehow reduce the efficacy of the device - I can't imagine how it would cause a problem, but want to verify before I bling it up (wonder if I could attach a PV holder of some sort... hrmmm... :D)

The wedding is in 79minutes, I'm not dressed, and have a feeling that I'm going to have to look at pictures instead of attending in person - my back is still mad at me over yesterday afternoon/evening, and I think I may spend the afternoon on the couch in hopes of at least making it out for a drink at VapeStock tonight. Such is life, luckily the bride will understand, and hopefully there will be a feed to their 2nd wedding in Vegas this summer! (They're getting married at the courthouse today so his family can be in attendance, the "real" wedding will be in Vegas in a few months).

Happy vaping Friday, and if you're even remotely local, come play at VapeStock this weekend!!! (yes, I'm looking at you Glen, Cooks & Tina {wherever she might be!}) :)

Nope! I'm using my V2's with pre-filled cartridges. I could clean some of them to use, but by the time they dried, I'd have my batteries on my e-power charged so what's the point?
And I agree; I'm glad that I now will have 2 chargers that can handle all of my batteries(though I'm going to have to get some additional spacers for one of them to handle the 123s I just ordered for my mini).

Of course I think you're going to buy it, and isn't the point of the Alpha program to try out new things that not many people have tried yet? lol

I'm glad you love the Echo's!! They're great, still have some here for Jeff, and I use them once in a while, too - they hold about a small tanks worth of juice, and they just keep going! Great cartos! (and they don't burn!!!)

Congrats on selling the ECB juices!

I hate you're going to miss the wedding, but at least you've got your priorities straight! :D

The surgery and stuff sounds scary! I haven't had a surgery since my tonsils at 7, but I've seen Mom in the hospital too many times. The brace and all that are temporary though, correct? Even if they are, there's absolutely nothing wrong with glamming them up as much as possible! Maybe rhinestones? ;). When Mom went through chemo (breast cancer; talk about scary), we spent a bundle on wigs and such and it was worth every penny!

Echo's? I just looked them up. They look a bit like the big boys I got for my e-power. I love them as well, though it's tough to fiture out when they need refilling, lol. They're like the energizer bunny; they keep going and going.....

If the wedding was a little later in the day I could probably make it, but mornings/early afternoon tend to be kind of difficult, so we knew making it was going to be a long shot :)

lol yes, the brace & bone stim are temporary-ish - minimum 6wks in the brace, probably 6mo-1yr for the bone stim (so when they do the lumbar & SI joints I'm really going look crazy lol). I'll do at least a day in ICU after the surgery, then 3 days or so on a regular surgical ward - they'll keep me until I can walk 200ft unassisted - hoping that means without a person, cuz if it means no cane, they're never going to release me!!!! :)

Assuming your mom is in remission & doing well now - hope so!!! I know the wigs are so helpful for Chemo patients - I've had a couple of aunts go through it, and the wigs were great for lifting their spirits!

Thankfully, she's been in remission for at least 10 years now and you're right. The look on her face when we had her try on a Marilyn Monroe wig was priceless! So you shold definitely think of ways to dress them up! Is it a full back brace, or a neck brace? With a neck brace, you could wrap it in scarves; have to give back braces some thought. Spray paint maybe? Glitter's always good. ;)

Already in a full back brace when I leave the house, but that's easy to hide under my clothes!
The neck brace.. argh! If it were winter, the scarves would be great, but I'll be in it in Florida July-August - don't want to add any more to the heat & humidity than absolutely necessary lol I'm sure a few light silky scarves would be okay though - will have to look into it, thanks for the suggestion!

Me too Reidus!!! But I got a bunch of cartos too so I'm set for a while. These Echo cartos are fabulous! I made a mistake though,, that peach champagne is pretty strong, I think I need to cut it a bit.. so what do I get? PG or VG?? I can never keep that straight! I've two boxes of those cartos for Barb, and I'll take another one to work,,, that nurse in the ER didn't get cartos with her KGO. I might have forgotten them when I placed her order... oops!

Yes, it sucks you might not make the wedding.. you gotta save yourself up for tonight!! Don't overdo though,, you'll pay for it for DAYS! And that ain't nice!

Made it to the PO and got the ECB juices mailed out to a guy in PA. Geez, I'd like to find somebody to just take the whole bunch that's left and be done with it! I even included the caramel macchiato.. icky. I guess I'm just not a coffee vaper.. I don't care what I do to em, they're nasty. Extra cream, extra caramel, some white chocolate... sounds good, right? Nah, it really wasn't. So he got a freebie.

That squarish thing wasn't in the alpha program,, they already offer it for sale. They haven't dropped anything yet, cuz they're in the middle of a big move.. moving operations from somewhere in NY way down to TX... and they won't start putting stuff up in the program until after the move. And we still have NO idea what kind of stuff is going to be in it.. it's a big ol mystery!! There's a bunch of us over on their thread just giddy with anticipation!! It's worse than Christmas, I swear!

Any suggestions on how to clean my e-power dual coil mega's? I'm not gonna clean them anytime soon, but eventually I will have to. I'm sure I could boil them, but they'd take a week to dry out! Of course, I'm assuming that would probably the case no matter what method I use. :D I mean you've got enough filler to hold 5ml of juice to dry out.

Also, can you guys start thinking about what would look best on Wilson next weekend? Since I"m flying, I obviously can't carry my entire stash of stuff. Right now, I've got my 1.7 resurrectors in black, my 2.0 boges in SS, and an itty bitty LR atty that Cheeky sent me. I've got some clear 1.5 DC boges that's not in the running. I'm not sure how I feel about them; they vape fine, but I can't fit my Trippy on one, nor can I put my cone on Betty while I'm using it. I probably shouldn't have order 3 boxes of them, but CCV has such a deal!! BTW, Betty's the name I decided to use for my e-power. It's short for Beauteous Black Betty. :D

All of the juices I sent you are 50/50 pg/vg mix, so you can either cut with a 50/50mix, or whatever combo you want :) More vg=more vapor, more pg=more TH - I like the 50/50 combo for a smooth vape :) Also, the deej stuff is pretty much all 200% juice so I could cut it easily to 12mg or 18mg depending on my day & tastebud behavior:) I'm pretty much saying... cut it with what ever you want? lol

Missed the wedding - luckily the bride understands & still loves me :)
Not sure if I'll make it out for drinks tonight - waiting to see if the meds kick in enough for me to move & if Deej can get another ride back to his hotel if I don't go... I want to make sure I can get through the whole day tomorrow (leaving here around 11am & not getting home until after 9p at the earliest), and I'm afraid my best chance at that happening & not completely crippling me for a week is to lay low tonight *sigh*

Stinky that the squarish this won't be part of the Alpha program!! Can't wait to see what you DO wind up testing!

It's going to take a few days no matter what method you use lol If you blow as much water as possible out of the carto it should only take a few days for the mega cartos to dry - still a pain that they take so long, but it shouldn't take a whole week - just clean them with whatever method you prefer.

Also, can you guys start thinking about what would look best on Wilson next weekend? Since I"m flying, I obviously can't carry my entire stash of stuff.

Betty is a good name for your e-power - the trippy will slide into your cartos a bit easier if you lube it up with some vg (or pg/vg) first - the do tend to be tight in the beginning, but will break in, and will be easier to use in a few weeks. If I were you, I'd bring a few of each type of carto you have to see what looks best on Wilson - I have a preference for SS, but it depends on the mod and your preference :) they won't take up much room in your suitcase or carry on, so there's no reason not to - just toss them in kit or a baggie, and bring 'em along.
The atty is going to be best with an unsealed adapter & drip shield, and there is a good chance you'll get one of each of those as gifts, so you might as well bring it along too :)

LOL. that's funny, Betty! I don't have any names,,, poor things don't stay around long enough to get named, I guess. It IS quite a dilemma, deciding what to take,,, I tend to take darn near everything I own, just in case. I'm at work, epower in pocket with a 2.5 ml carto but also brought two KGOs, and the twist and 8 or 9 other Cartos. Can I use that in one 8 hour shift?? Of course not. But what if sumthin happened to (oh hell, now I gotta come up with a name!) the epower? Gotta have backups for backups!! Reidus, you've amassed so much stuff,, I get confused!! I guess what you take depends on how long you're going to be gone. I'd STILL take everything!!
