Nice to see that this thread is picking up. The banter b/t Keith and Hawk is a sure sign that this thing is getting back to normal! My head s spinning from trying to keep up with this that and the other thing!

Pat---hang in there lady...I know what you're going through...had a major struggle with cravings when all the drama with my real-life family started last week, but got through it, and you can too. Big hugs to you!

Megan---Sorry you're hurting...feel better dearie.

Thank you sweetie *HUGE HUGS* back at you! :wub:

Pat, have you tried a mech and dripper yet with Nicoticket juices?

LOL, dearheart. I hope to have that opportunity one day.

I am not a sophisticated vaper at all.

I use rudimentary devices except for my MVP. and clearos. I even fall back on 808 gear. Mer just moved up in gear so she sold me some extra clearos and even gave me a few for nuttin'.
I don't think my current craving for smokes is related to flavor.
I am afraid I have not completely forgotten the comfort cigs can give me.
I am hanging on tho. I don't ever want to smoke another cig. ever.

I'm good w/ them.

Pat, I haven't tried Virus. Did try Radioactive which I didn't care for right away but about a week after I got it, I changed my mind. :)

I had problems with bleeding gums when I started vaping and I think fruits contributed to it but it doesn't happen so much now. I started swishing with salt water once or twice a day and that seems to help along with dropping to a more even pg/vg ratio.

@Megan,
Is the Advil helping?
I know you can't use heat ............. what about icy hot?
I am thinking of you and wishing I could come by you for a couple days.
I am uploading a really gentle hug and lots of love.
P

Ice would work but getting on the ice is hard literally and physically :lol: I'm okay if I stay in one spot but you know how you gotta pee? Yeah... At least I don't have to go outside to smoke. I can vape in bed!

And I stopped counting the Advil so who knows where I am now. I'd go for stronger meds but they have to be VERY strong as I have opioide resistance so only scary strong ones would work and no one would prescribe them to me. :laugh: So I'll ride it out and gimp through the next few days and if it gets worse go to my doc and demand the good stuff.

You are such a sweet a loving lady dear Pat. Thank you for asking. :wub:

Oh and that other thing we worked with Sunday? She is doing MUCH better as she is piecing everything together and getting mad, which is much better IMO! :thumb:

Good for you for not smoking. If ever you need it I have old H1N1 just let me know. I would happily give it to you than have you smoke, my love!! :wub:

Oh, I wonder if someday I will be able to vape fruits?! Your experience gives me hope.
Warm salt water rinses are part of my daily routine, too!

I haven't tried Radio yet. I'd like to, but I am so satisfied w/ Virus that it isn't urgent.

Awww the family is getting back together :wub: I missed everyone! By the way it's all your fault. After hearing so many people talking about GCD I finally caved and it's on the way to me now :D For once USPS is behaving. Ordered yesterday and my totally awesome magic purple bag should wing it's way into my mailbox tomorrow. Perfect thing to brighten what has been a sucky week.

W00T! Be sure to post pics once you have the new stuff filled w/ NT JOOOOOSE!
What all is coming?

I have a provari mini, an origen dripper and a nice wide bore drip tip on the way. I'm going to kick Clark's joose up a notch. Figured I treat myself since I'm coming up soon on my 2 year anny. I'm a little early but I couldn't wait

I agree that things are better for our friend. Bless her heart. I got a nice v/m from her and she sounded good. I couldn't pick up the phone as in IL as of Jan 1 you can't use your cell phone in the car unless it is hands free. Mine isn't and I really don't want to invest in Blue whatever that is. anyway I was driving to the doc when she called. Then we visited a bit on FB yesterday. She knows she has us to count on in cyberspace.
You know that I just love how and who you are!
Could you use a Fentanyl patch? If you take too many Advil they can mess up your kidneys. I have to ration them out and I hate that as they really really really help me. Doc keeps a close eye on my kidney function because I take more than I should. Just take good care of yourself and know I'd love to be there.
hug

I am sorry your week is sucky, but GCD will make it all better! I just know it. After you try it save a bit to mix w/ some CLS and or CB. YUM!

Thank you sweetie, I might go for that to try but who knows if that would work. I drink a lot of water hence the need to pee and my kidney function is fine so far...I also won't keep this up. I figure hit it hard today and hope it eases by tomorrow. If not hubby is working from home tomorrow so he could take me to the doctor if needed.

We are in for yet another very cold week.
well below 0 for our lows..............they are saying -20 for Thursday.
this winter WILL NOT END.
I am going to have a bath. That way I will be sure I don't go out for cigs as it is too cold to go out w/ wet hair. LOL

I am going to have a VATH. As I will take my virus with me.

Good night, family, and thanks for the kindness that helped me not cave in tonight.
I owe ya!!
Hugs all around.
P
