chat- All good suggestions so far, thanks! I know the rules, and I would sell at a 20% discount off retail anyways. It's been used, but nobody would be able to tell since I kept it in pristine condition. There would be a disclaimer, slightly used with care, etc.

I would PIF, but I've already given away about $300 worth of vape gear and liquid in the past month. I think I'm in the clear, karma wise. And I'm not done giving things away either, just taking a break... I need some "me" time.

Well with that said i completely agree, make some cash on it and get something you really want, your a very good person for giving away so much, and yep its time for, as you said some ME time.... Go for it.... vape well my friend....

5. 6/13 - Moral quandary, which was once clear to me and now I find frustrating. I won a mod/APV in a contest a couple of months ago and I never use it. It's very pretty, very expensive, and very well built. It's also really big for what it is and not safe to take with me anywhere without removing the battery and/or atty. Sell it, keep it, or give it away? The pros and cons of my options are too much for me, so it sits in the back of my vape drawer where I don't have to think about it. Giving it away is the worst option for me, since it costs as much as the cheapest Provari and I'm not made out of money. It will probably last many, many years, whether I use it or not. Quality USA made stuff. I could send it back to the guy I won it from, he could use the money for selling it but that would be insulting.

Don't ask for it, I'll just ignore that. I've been paying it forward plenty lately. My question: what you would do in my situation?

#1 Leave it put away until you make a decision that makes you comfortable.
#2 Sell it to buy what you need or trade it for what you need.

One does not merely PIF a PV that costs as much as a Provari to a stranger :/

DON'T PIF a high end PV comparable to a Provari unless it's to someone you know REALLY well! I have found my PIFs on sale and it really pisses me off. If you mention that you are in need or I send you vape gear, USE IT... That is the only issue I have with PIFing :/ I PIF things because I want to help whomever I am dealing with and I GIVE AWAY these things... someone turning around and SELLING what I gave away FREE really chaps my hiney (_|_) I am also a bit mental about someone PIFing what I have PIFed, I have sent out boxes of gear that I didn't use and was immediately told they'd be PIFd out... one freak asked me to MAIL THE GEAR TO SOMEONE ELSE! :/ WTHeck! The gall of some people! They were close to $40 and never opened! Why you say you WANT THEM, then immediately give away, and ASK ME to mail them to someone else?!?!?! Sheesh!

On a personal note, I don't have space for so much gear and if I don't use something I won't EVER USE IT so I tell the ones I trust the most or know fairly well to USE it, PIF it, OR SELL it and get what you need... Most of you here in the VVV thread will hear me say that! I don't deal with those trolls that pop on for a week and disappear after telling everyone what they need any longer :/ TROLLS belong under bridges!!!!

I am at work waiting for the clock to speed up :/ I have another 30 minutes before I can do anything. I hope someone will be on tonight, the last night of the week for me... I self medicated to get some sleep since Emmy was barking and barking and barking to go outside... Tommy stayed way late at work to get an order out. That darned dog, I come home at 7AM and take her out several times and she still needs to go as late as 6-7PM when I NEED to be asleep! She's having issues now with the runs, so I shouldn't complain about the old girl :/ At least she is good enough to bark to go out and not ruin the carpet and rugs like most dogs with the runs would do :/

Work related news: I got a call earlier from HR telling me that they had chosen someone else for the entry level position. I was pretty grateful for it because I would have declined since there are and will be more positions opening for another month still. I have one application out for a position that asks for some really specialized processing knowledge that I find a bit odd... There are very few people that will know what they are asking. This usually means that they have a specific person in mind for the position and it is a way to limit the applicant pool OR they are expecting A LOT! Oddly enough, I call fill that position and it is on another campus nearby, so I have hit it with all I have =] I need to send out some queries to find out who is posting it... since it's an odd little position.

I just got some juice I won and loaded some pear in my tank with a brand new boge LR. A different taste, pear and a bit medicine taste, not bad but I think I'll let it steep for a bit

I can't stand any juice with a medicine or chemical taste

I have all of my gunked cartos soaking in a cleaner now... It will be really nice if the carto stuffing can be cleaned... although I do not have one of those 'plunger' type of cleaners where you spray a liquid inside of it.

I am not sure what I'll do this weekend & not sure what I'll cook either. I really need to organize my vape gear now that I have some free space =]

I am okay with my current preferred juices, but I might do some DIY this weekend. I have A LOT of smaller bottles that I did DIY samples in and those need to be made into something else. I am considering the heavy hitting flavors like dragon fruit, licorice, absinthe... with a stronger tasting fruit. In addition, I need to just start using the amber bottles that I got previously. I don't use them because they don't have a dropper. Mmmmmm, but I do have a dropper I can use! *light bulb*

Heh! I wish I baked better, I'd send you some goodies =] But you should be grateful I don't LMAO! Whooooooo! I am making some sweet iced Texas tea this weekend... I've been wanting some for ages =] I'll give you a toast when I get the goodies

Good morning/nite VVVers I will read up tomorrow

J.K.? Maybe. I can only speak for myself, my ridiculous moral dilemma, and the excellent advice given. Personal answers to my quandary speak volumes to the nature of each individual's point of view and judgement. Thank you all for taking part in my psychological research study.

Seriously though, the prize is going to stay in the back of a drawer where it's been for weeks. I still don't know what to do with it. Give me a Ferrari and I would probably drive it once and then park it. At least I don't break everything I touch...

If you can't decide what to do, then wait until you do know =] Best advice ever!

Okay, I have decided that my next project will be some type of beaded chain for my eyeglasses and also a PV type of lanyard... I have to be ready if I will be packing books in boxes for storage! Don't want my glasses slipping off and I don't want my PV to get shipped to storage after it falls out of my bra XD

Waking up to more rain... seems to be alot of that going on around the country lately...

Harbor Park on the Connecticut river in Middletown CT.. This is probably the most used image whenever there is high water in CT. This restaraunt/club gets flooded at least once a year.

p.s. Natey's not to far from here..

Good morning Facto! How have you been? I have a tank of juice you PIFd me loaded in a tank at home =] It's a wicked little number with some pineapple undertones Guess what FLAVORING I RECENTLY BOUGHT?!?!?! Pineapple

Anyway, 30 minutes to go... I looked over this newest position very closely tonight and it is actually one magnificent fit :/ I find it odd that it is such a low level position, while it requires so many unique duties... Let me clarify... they are asking for a particular skill that you only use in 7 places in Texas... An OJT skill if you will =]

Heh! I was just having a magnificent conversation with one of my co-workers =] I was yacking along in Spanish and suddenly my coworker started saying she had no idea [she is always greeting me & calling me things in Italian ] and I hit a MAJOR road block LOL There are just some words/phrases that do not stay in my head Anyway, it was very pleasurable to catch myself in a conversation and this lady suggested that we do this more often =] I wish I could! Not much time to brush up on ANY languages, but I did enjoy myself =] I can't believe it just kind of flew out of my mouth LOL I told her about my Gran, Grandad, parents, siblings, what everyone looked liked, she liked my perfume, so I told her how I made it and then gave her the bottle... that is A LOT OF YACKING

Whoo Hoo! Time to go home!
