LOL Glen that's hysterical! Funny librarian story...not so long ago, before current husband, I used to go to a club with one of the young girls I work with. Dance our fannies off. It was a blast! Even though I was old enough to be her mother. (I don't look it, just so ya know) of course, most of the guys in this club were her age, not mine. There were a few closer to my age but they were losers. Ok, they were all losers but I was just there to have a good time. So I'm at the bar one night, getting my beer, when this young guy starts chatting me up. I mean YOUNG. Starts telling me how hot I am, how cool my glasses are, how I look like a librarian and how hot that makes him. OMG! seriously? Get away from me creep, I have a kid your age! Honestly wit was a total meat market. Made me laugh. A lot! But sorta flattering. In a sick kinda way. Now, I would have been really creeper out if some guy had asked me if I wanted to see WOODY:eek::eek::eek:

LMAO!!! Glen, I'm glad I'm not the only male on this thread!!! And I bet there's a bunch of earthy chicks who would go for it as well, being green and all that. I've been interested in hybrids and/or electric cars for years. I'd love to know how it works for you.
Unfortunately, I've yet to find one that has the one basic requirement for me: living in New Orleans and having survived Katrina, I have to have a car that I can evacuate in. That's the biggest reason I drive my "Boss daddy" Dodge Magnum RT. (The fact that it's got a v8, dual cams, and an exhaust system that "growls" much like my old Camaro did back in the 70's doesn't hurt as well :2cool: ). BTW, "Boss Daddy Wagon" was the term my nephew used the first time he saw it.

Those Magnum wagons are really nice. I've seen a bunch of them driving around Tampa, and they turn my head every time. The other car I liked was the Honda Crosstour, and it had a similar aesthetic appeal to it.

Oh sure... When you put it that context it does sound creepy. I've always found that it's not what you say, but how you say it that really matters. :D

The tank he had was just a standard 3.5ml with a 3ohm carto. It's one of the ones that Provape has for sale on their site. Once those beveled DTC's become available on the vendor site, please let me know! I'm really starting to appreciate the joys of using carto tanks with certain flavors and I can see a fairly large collection in my not-so-distant future. :D

As for the car, I mentioned that in my "Rockin' day" post yesterday. I picked it up yesterday morning and it's very cool. Cool in a geeky way, not cool in a chick-magnet kind of way. Although if the woman in question is a geeky-chick, it might be a good magnet, and I do like me some geeky/librarian types. I can pick them up in my ultra-cool Prius and ask them if they want to see Woody. :2cool:

Tanks = happy monkey! I love them! I'll let you know if I come across a vendor site with the beveled caps that aren't 60 bucks :)

Glad you're loving your new Prius! I think they're cool too, but I'm a Geek girl who drives the pre Prius Echo :)

I did a road trip from Dallas to Florida in a magnum & was surprised & impressed by the smooth ride - definitely not the station wagon of childhood memories!

Nighty night reidus, sweet dreams! Cheeky, I cant believe you're picking THE DEEJ up at the airport!! That's SO cool! You are gonna have such a blast! Be sure & tell him how much we 'holics love his stuff!

Boy, I'm not getting much movement on the juices. Wonder what the deal is? Asking too much? Maybe ill just PIF it. Or a drastic price reduction.

Guess ill watch some tube. American Pickers. Luv those guys!

From what I've been told, juices tend to move kind of slow - no idea why?! Your prices look good, I'd snag half of them if they were unleaded! But... I'm juice junkie, so I might not be the best judge :)
I'm not getting much movement on the juices either - I'm going to wait it out.

I'll definitely tell the Deej how much the 'holics love his stuff! I think he'll be happy to hear it :) I'd pick you up at the airport too if you decided to hop on a plane...:D

Watching more Mob Wives... seriously addictive lol

Mornin, Lizards! Hope y'all are having a a great AM. I'm looking forward to getting my new clear Boge 1.5 DC cartos from CCV and Wilson should be arriving at his Grandma's house as well! There's a couple of trippys over in the classys, including a black hole sun bulb and a woody pillar (mine's a black hole sun swirl). There was a donut, but it apparently went in like 5 minutes (the seller posted that he got 6 PMs on it in 5 minutes. Think bridal gowns and sales;) ) I'm probably going to PM him on them; haven't completely made up my mind. On one hand, I already have one trippy; on the other hand, I think having 3 trippys (one named woody, lol) that would look great on Wilson is never a bad thing. {Sigh} I just PM-ed him.

On another note, while i've promised myself I'm not going to start futzing around with tanks until July, for several reasons, I want to make sure I've the basics down. The tank holds juice, which it feeds to the carto. As such, the carto needs to be punched. You can either buy pre-punched cartos or punch your own. How difficult is it to punch your own?

BTW, if anyone's interested, there's a hand-blown Phinias tank over at the classy's for $45.

Nice Reidus!! I would say that you've definitely become a trippy addict!! They are quite lovely, however. About the tanks.. I've got 4 of them I keep loaded up. I use prepunched cartos with the flange but I use a little finishing nail to make the hole just a tad bigger,, they wick better. Neat trick someone told me about.. hold your finger over the hole in the bottom of the carto and suck like crazy on the drip tip.. draws the liquid into the carto. You'll see bubbles in the tank,,, that's how you know you're drawing the juice up into the carto. My cartos only have one hole and they seem to work well,, but you can buy cartos that have three holes too, not sure how they work. I've seen carto punches at a lot of vendors too, I wouldn't imagine it would be hard to do. I like the prepunched ones with the flange.. just seems to me that without that flange you'd get a bunch of leaking, but never tried it so can't say for sure.

Haven't checked any tracking numbers so not sure if I'll get vapemail today or not.. maybe the Twist. I lended out another one of my KGOs last night. One of the girls I work with,, she bought an Elite808 on my recommendation some months ago and they're starting to die already. I loved those things when I first got them,, they were so much better than the V2 I started with, but it seems they aren't of very good quality. They die fast! So I gave her one of my KGOs to take home and try,, I'm not sure how serious she is about quitting though. We'll see. Geez,, I should open my own little business up here! I could lay in a big supply of cartos and KGOs and have a nice little side business!!

Cheeky has no idea how darn close I came to hopping on a plane!! I tell ya, if money was no object. Unfortunately, money IS an object, otherwise I'd be going to Florida AND to vegas!!!

Speaking of money,, think I'll go over to the classys and give myself a little bump.
Have a great morning everyone.. and can't wait to get Cheeky's updates!!

Same here! I f I wasn't already flying to ATL next weekend, I'd be off to Tampa in a heartbeat! In July, when I get paid again (one of things I have about summer school is that you only get paid once a month), I plan to try a tank. I really like the Sand-blasted glass tanks that Phiniac carries. From what I've read, the 3-hole tanks are better for high VG juice; high PG tends to flood them.

I sure hope so!! And I wonder if Glen will make it over there too.. btw, I love my tanks. I honestly don't see much difference in the taste with a traditional carto in them and the clearo's I've got. Some people say they can taste the filler, but I don't find that to be true,, for me, anyway. And yeah, those Phiniacs are gorgeous!! Sometimes you can find those on the classys too. HellaVapor is giving one away on their facebook page.. when they get 200 likes, and they've got 195 right now.

HEY.. mailman just drove by,, which means he's on his way here!! Should get my Twist!!

Update: I just bought them. I can see myself becoming a Trippy addict pretty quickly. Here's a pic:

View attachment 106832

I got the 2 middle ones. The peanut on the right is still available if y'all are interested.

Um... ya think? lol

I love that trippy tip, but very time I see the name "black hole sun", the song gets stuck in my head, but only the chorus. On repeat. For hours. And I keep seeing it related to trippy's lol

I've started punching my own since my Boge co-op goodies came in (i'm officially swimming in Boges) - a saddle valve works surprisingly well as long as the tip is sharp, and you're conscious of when to STOP before breaking thru the inner tube. No flanges on the Boges - the flanges are there so that you don't accidentally push your carto in too deep (causing major loss of juice). I haven't had an issue with it yet, as the bottom o-rings seem to do a great job of gripping the carto, but will let you know if that changes!

Luv!!!! You just keep converting those smokers! I swear, we should open a vapaholics anonymous convert shop & make a killing just off of Luv! (or go in on a co-op for a bunch of starter stuff/make our own kits for your converts... actually that's not a bad idea - they'd get a great discount, and you'd make a little for your time/efforts in converting them - the starters could even come with ECBlend juices - one stop shop!) (Okay, just read the last part of your paragraph, and... uhhuh! lol great minds!).

I wish I'd remembered to buy the winning powerball ticket last night! I'd have paid for all of the vapaholics to hop on planes & come to VapeStock this weekend! :)

No updates yet, but I have a pretty busy weekend coming up - Deej arrives at Tampa International at 430 this afternoon, my friend Sammy is getting married tomorrow at 130, afterwhich I'll probably pick up Deej & head over to Vapestock for the informal meet/greet & drink (lol), and Saturday is the BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!! I'm planning to arrive at VapeStock a little before 12, in hopes of snagging a halfway decent parking spot (it's Florida, even the handicapped spots go fast, though most of the snowbirds are gone, so it might not be so bad lol), and will be staying at least until after the raffle at 630p! LOTS of great stuff to be given away (ahm, Glen, ahm... :D). There is a pool at the hotel, and I'm going to bring my suit - the weightlessness of the water *should* help me last a little longer, I'm bringing my meds, and a friend is bringing a wheelchair for me, so I should be able to make it through! I may not be able to move next week, but I'm going to have an absolute BLAST this weekend :D

Apparently there's a lot of trading to be done at VapeStock, so I'm planning on bringing any juices I have left from my sale, and a few other things I don't/won't use with me - maybe I'll get lucky and score something awesome! :)

Getting paid once a month stinks - that's how my LTD will be paid out... if they ever approve it & cut me a check!
I think you'll like tanks - they make vaping large quantities of juice a much easier thing to do :smokie:
The sand blasted phiniacs are gorgeous, and may be my next tank purchase - I'm leaning towards the Aries Ram with "cheeky" on the other side :D
You are correct, 3 punch cartos tend to be best for thicker juices, as they give the filler a better opportunity to wick, and a thinner juice would likely cause your carto to flood terribly.
Is she going to give us updates from the meet?
I'm going to try! With any luck the battery on my phone will last through the day & into the evening, but... my battery life sucks, so I make no promises lol I may have to snag Iron Monkey's phone at some point!

I sure hope so!! And I wonder if Glen will make it over there too.. btw, I love my tanks. I honestly don't see much difference in the taste with a traditional carto in them and the clearo's I've got.

I really hope Glen makes it! I'd love to meet him in person, AND get my hands on that woodie! :facepalm:

Tanks really are my favorite way to vape - I notice the filler LESS in a tank than i do when using a carto alone, probably because the filler is always saturated in a tank, rather than starting to dry out as they do outside of a tank.... plus, it gives me more vape time! I don't have to drip to make sure I'm not vaping it dry, I don't have to think about it much until the tank is about empty, and then I just fill her back up! I have so many tanks, all filled with different juices, that it's a snap to swap out tanks & change flavors! The downside is that I only have 1 Bella tank, and she's my favorite, so I don't want to swap tanks, even though I do want to swap juices lol

I hope the mailman brought you your Twist luv! Email incoming :)
