Vapaholics Anonymous - Part 2

I'm guessing you mean that little tiny hole you gotta put the needle through,,, it can be hard to see.

I think it' pretty cool looking! Are you sure she wouldn't mind the box style? The price sure is right.

Actually, I meant the plug that fills the tiny hole, lol.

As far as the Smokbox goes, I think it's kinda cool myself! Cookster thought it looked like something a crackhead would use! Apparently it's about the size of a business card. I've still got the problem of having to find something w/no filler in it.

I'm tempted to order it for myself and see what's what with it. It looks like the 510 connection is recessed inside the box; that would mean I'd have to get a 510/510 adaptor to raise it enough to hang a tank on it. Wouldn't that be interesting looking!

On another note.. we had the red beans and rice for dinner and hubby liked it! I have a FoodSaver,, put the extra in some big foodsaver bags and sucked out all the air and sealed em up and they're laying flat in the freezer. Was a little worried about the moisture but the foodsaver has a "moist" food setting so it doesn't suck all the juice out.. worked great! And I've got three bags of it put away. Of course, I'd made a mess of the stove and it took almost as long to clean that as it did to make the stuff! It was good though!

I think I'm gonna pop for an Ego Twist.. hell, the price is right. But since I went on a juice buying binge today, it'll have to wait a couple weeks til next payday... story of my life!

Kiddos are gone and they were good today.. finally managed to get a smile out of the baby.. dang, she gets MAD!

I've managed to vape through a whole carto of Zoe and need to refill.. I've got some Dragon's dream loaded up and honestly, not getting much flavor out of it.. maybe if I let it steep for a bit..

I'm having the same experience with Dragon's Dream. As far as RB&R goes, that's why I like to put it in a crockpot; much less mess, especially if you nuke the veggies, lol.

Yay! My taste buds seem to be returning! I can taste the Spring Rain again! I'm afraid to try the more delicate ones yet; don't want to get discouraged, lol.

Thanks for the advice, Cheeky. Could it be that I haven't had any luck dripping is the consistency of my juices? I thought it was me; 2 drips burned; 3 drips flooded.

On an unrelated subject: After I left, Mom pulled out the Blu's that I gave her last year and started using them. Thursday, she was down to 5 analogs; Friday 4. She didn't say how many, if any, she smoked yesterday, but she says she's having trouble breathing. She has COPD (one of the reasons I've been trying to get her to quit smoking), and I told her coughing's normal. She said she's not coughing; she's just having trouble breathing. Anybody know anything about COPD and vaping?

My hubby's uncle has serious COPD and he is trying to quit TCs. He's got some cheapo PVs i don't know what exactly I haven't seen him in a while i need to go learn him some..but from what I hear he doesn't have a problem with coughing etc. Maybe she has a bit of a hard time with PG? Some folks do...maybe try a higher VG mix? Is the juice that she is using old? Maybe she is just using cheap stuff and she really is having a reaction? Or maybe she its just so different she is having a bit of a panic attack (the doc said that part of what is triggering my hubby's uncle's COPD attacks are panic attacks when he thinks he is having trouble breathing)...I'm not sure, just throwing out ideas...I'm not a Dr. I only play one on TV

And yaayyy Mamma Reidus!!!

ooooh! I want a food saver! I didn't know they had a wet option - smart!!
I love the Dragon's Dream, but am finding that it's one of those juice that is best steeped for me! I know that's not what you want to hear, Luv, but maybe it would do well in a CE3?

YAY! Glad they're coming back.

Yes, your problems with dripping could be attributed to your higher PG content & thus thinner juice. Also, invest in a drip shield! They're inexpensive & make dripping a whole lot neater - they hold all of your "leaked" juice inside the shield, and feed it back into your atty while you vape They're a fantastic invention! EmpireMods has a huge selection to choose from

IMHO a sleeve or a DCA work a heck of a lot better for dripping than the shields (actually I just got a couple of shields and I still can't figure out how to make them work on my atty's but they fit fine on my cartos...maybe just end user error?)

A friend of my has these and LOVES them and I just ordered one for 306 and one for i06 Grateful Vaper - The i06 & 306 Sleeve - Home

I have a Vapure DCA and I really LOVE it!!! I can drop 5-7 drops at once and be good..I can't find it on their website....but you can Google it...wonder whats up..

Actually, you raise a good point: The cartridges she's using are over a year old! Could that be the problem?

When you put the drip shield on, do you make sure the holes are at the top? If they're at the bottom, they'll leak juice all over the place. Also, some have o-rings that are too tight, and that can make your draw feel like you're trying to suck up quick set concrete through a straw when it's already started to set!

Can you explain what a DCA is and how it's better than a regular atty?

 

[Mythus2012]

Okay, how did you know from looking that they're bridgeless? Is that the difference between a dripping atty and a regular one?

Also some vendors call bridgeless atty's "Dripping" attys because when the bridge is removed (as Cheeky said) you can drip right on the coil also "dripping" attys tend to have a wide lip around the edge so the atty almost acts as a "cup" to hold juice but, in my experience it only holds about 1 drop and with a drip tip the juice tends to well up on top of the lip and next to the tip so the juice can't even get to the coil....I personally don't care for them...but I'm sure there are quite a few folks that love em.

Also the ones you linked to are 510s...if you are going to drip I would highly suggest 306 or i06. 510s work OK but if you really want great flavor 510s cant compare to 306 or i06. This of course is IMHO

 

[Mythus2012]

What exactly couldn't you stand? I've heard all sorts of stories of them leaking, etc.

BTW, just got off the phone with Mom. She's smoke-free today, and she definitely describes a tightness in her chest when she vapes. I told her in the short run, to be like Bill Clinton and don't inhale, lol.

If you want to get rid of them, I'll definitely try them out.

YYYAAAAHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!

Definitely go with a lower PG mix...

 

[Reidus]

Just talked to Mom. I was interested to see if my V2 cartos I had shipped to her would fit on her old Blu batteries. They won't. I'm in live chat (more like live wait, lol) with Blu to see if their new cartos will fit on their old batteries.

My device has a 510 thread. I'm assuming a 306 is a different thread. I guess there would be adaptors though.

 

[Mythus2012]

Sent my order to Cheeky.. and now I gotta drag out all the juice I likely won't use and place my own little add on the classys! I really do have a bunch.. and now more on the way. I guess the thing is,, I know what I really like now,, so might as well just get rid of the stuff I know I won't use. What a HUGE learning curve this whole business is.

Send over your list...I'd like to have a looksee!

And I did price a plane ticket.. just not in the cards right now. And hubby thinks I've absolutely lost my tiny little pea brain to even CONSIDER meeting someone I don't know in Vegas... WHAT?? Waddya mean I don't know her?? Of course I know her!! (heehee). Screw that, I love an adventure! Can't do it right now though..

Well, I LOVE IT that you tried...maybe next time....WHAT?!?!?!?!!? We know eachother??? HAHAHAHAHAH And its Vegas....not like if I turned out to be a totally completely crazy person you couldn't lose yourself in that town, its not like you were flying to stay at my house for the weekend where you didn't know anyone. Although I guess I can understand his concern he LOOOOVVEESSS you!!!! Isn't wonderful to be adored?????

 

[Mythus2012]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves: I still don't know what device I need to get her, lol. I know she was turned off by the size of my E-power and that she's currently vaping my old Blus (she really likes the charger case). If anybody could recommend some kind of mini with a decent battery life, that'd be great. Then we can worry about what to vape on it.

REO mini!!!!!!! I LOVE mine and I just got it!!!! Kgo/Ego T?

I give up! I've been waiting for a response for 10 minutes! I'm gonna assume that 1) the old batteries weren't a K808d thread, and 2) that the new batteries are, like V2, Volt, and every other one I've seen.
I'm gonna have her look at the Volt: it's cheaper than V2 and has much better feedback here on the forums. Also, at least 1 person on the health thread I looked at earlier said that his tight chest went away when he switched to the Volt.

Now I just have to figure out how bad I want that Smokbox.

As long as you do it with no expectations.....

306 is a 510 thread....(maybe you can get others I'm not sure I never tried)

Sorry I didn't get right back with ya...I was busy catching up!

You love the REO? I'm at the site; I don't understand the site mechanics. How do you see what's actually for sale?
