The labyrinth is way more complex now, it's a bit... Now we are selling the house it may attract SOME buyers. It may drive some away.
Largest labyrinth in Pima County we have not registered it though in case it drives some buyers away. LOL. We still get constant flyers.

The house ain't much but I think it has curb appeal. Heh.

And thank you for kind words. That's very sweet.

Wow, I just realized you live in Tucson. My dh went to U of A. He loved it there. (After NJ, not surprised lol)
Glad to have spoken to you!

Thanks, Nancy!

Her name is Brandi. I made her for inventory about 4 years ago, then fell seriously in love, so I had to delist her. Outstanding player and a real tonemistress.

Nice Guitar! Makes me think Stratocaster, but a little different.

Brandi's body is a replica of the old Fender Swinger.

I see that you're a Les Paul fan. Love the Goldtop with P90's.

There's a telecaster in a case that didn't get into the picture. I'm more of a one guitar guy when it comes to performance, but I like switching guitars here and there. To get all the tones that are in popular music you really need a Strat and a Les Paul at the minimum.

Back on topic, I think that it's possible to get more nic from a vape depending on the mix, but cigarettes are designed to produce a high nic concentration or not, depending on whether the cigarettes are full flavor, medium flavor, or low tar types. The same happens in DIY vaping. I vaped 24mg juice to get off the cigs. Now, I vape 3mg and 6mg juice MTL, so I'm vaping more and getting less. Most of it is about the way you vape. Long hard draws produce more nic in your bloodstream.

When I was smoking I started with Red Marlboros and Winstons. As I grew older I switched to light cigarettes and even smoked Carltons and other low tar cigarettes. All that did was take me into the 2 and 3 PAD realm. vaping came along about 9 years ago and probably raised my life expectancy considerably.

Look too base is just as bad as too acidic. Frankly. I mean, look at lye.

I have vaped freebase and salt nic and to me, salt is a smidge smoother and for some who are nic sensitive or whatever, well use salts.. It is what I did while my reespirtory system has repaired itself.

Some people only seem to do well with ONE MANUFACTURER of nic, so you can just be as delicate a flower as you want, as far as I'm concerned. Just do what works.

Salts aren't magic or special, neither is freebase OH except both keep me from smoking SO BOOM.

I love the brits and their snarkiness and their continued support for the Oxford Comma.

Newcastle brown ale is the only beer worth drinking if you ask me.

My first serious boyfriend was a summer in England and I LOVED everything about it (also the place I started smoking, LOL still miss silk cuts.)

The brits have no clue how to design and ergonomic car though. It may be on purpose the cost of gas in Britain kind of makes you want to drive as little as possible. Maybe that is why.

Also PG tips, digestives and many other things. Some Brit consumables are great ENGLISH TRIFLE HERE I COME other suck, like um, blood pudding.

Phil Liggott is the greatest sport commentator known to mankind he makes the Tour de France interesting (but I was a biker) but I bet he could convert a few.

I had a sad parting with my English boyfriend akin to the parting Rose in Titanic had with that tool Leonardo. Only me and my boyfriend were in it, so it was WAY cooler and also in a train station. (Refer to note about cars...)

Oh and the Levellers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Tower of London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actual history and old things (there is nothing in the US that is old. Period. Unless we find some Native American remains, but like, they 're not much to look at, etc.

Forget vaping. I need a Go Fund me account. Clearly.

Yeah, delete everything in the box. Then click on the floppy disk icon, then hit delete draft. Clears everything.

After a couple of similar accidents I trained myself to confine the snotty comments to the inside of my head. I mean, even if people do show up here and complain about us using the plural pronoun then do the same themselves, or lecture us on not sticking to the topic properly, why is it my job to straighten them out? They never listen to me anyway. Oh dear, now I've gone and done it again. I never learn.


Re-reading older posts now makes me wish I didn't go off on you like I did.
Sorry! There are a lot of snotty @88ed people in this City and you get used to hitting hard with words. Although it wasn't meant seriously.

Being a dual user, I do mtl and smoke a few a day. If I don't feel like smoking I do a hybrid draw of direct lung style and after a few of those think "cigarettes are stupid" for about the next hour. There is definitely a difference in how vaping works depending on drag style. Flavor seems to differ as well.

Now, I can smoke a few minutes before bed time and zonk right out. But if I vape within two hours of bed time it's like I drank an espresso. I mostly vape 3ml but do use 6 at times during the day.

The key is just decide not to smoke and just vape instead, at those times you used to smoke. Oh the mini-Marlboro man will set on your left shoulder and whisper "just one won't be bad" when you do decide to stop smoking completely. Me? I was born with a Pall Mall logo where my umbilicle cord once was.

Most peoples belly button contains random shapes. Mine was a Pall Mall logo. Eh, just kidding folks. But seriously I'm a 4th generation of Pall Mall smoker. Through vaping I smoke a lot less now.

I would try their 15ml bottles first, at least if you dont like, it's not as big a loss. As you know taste is subjective , I cant tell you how many times I tried a recommended juice and thought it was crap....saying that, most everyone who has tried their stuff really likes it....grindz is good, but just a pure coffee, kind of non sweet , but if you like more of a latte type, mocha java smooth is really good, but it is dark and a bit of a gunker. For nets, definitely DF . Huntsman is my fav, but more non sweet the DF and perhaps like a grassy, earthy smoke. Legend is good too if you like non sweet. Temptation and shadow are kind of close and are slightly sweet like DF but DF has a unique taste. Temptation and shadow have a hint of chocolate and creme....personally I would try some of those and if you like their profile then try others like heavenly army and heavenly tobacco, those are kind of ry4 ish, so if you like ry4's maybe try one of those. Dont forget to sign for their newsletter to get 20 percent off right now

The way I quit was gradual. I vaped and the first week I realized I wasn't smoking 2 PAD, I was smoking about 6 cigarettes a day. I did that for about 9 months and made a deal with myself that if I bought a Provari I had to give up cigarettes. I bought the Provari and didn't buy another pack once the one I was smoking out of was gone. it was like I turned off a switch. I never wanted one again. Vaping was the easy cure. It's been over 9 years since my last cigarette. YMMV.
