Who here is not stocking up in preparation for the May 12th, 2020 Deadline?

[DaveP]

Glad to hear you bought the Pico 25. I think you'll be happy with them since you're already a fan of the Pico 75W.

Now you have to stock up on some 24/25mm RTAs

I have a number of >22mm attys and a few mods that handle them without hangover.

Correction ... I looked at the Pico 25's for a while and actually placed my order for a couple of Pico 21700's. I thought I had also ordered the Pico 25's, too, but only ordered the Pico 21700's.

I may still order a Pico 25. I'm ordering more now than I have ordered in any given year previously. I hope that cooler heads will prevail, but it looks like the "teen vaping protection" thing could be extended to every age group. It's time to stock up.

If the deeming regs are as costly as estimates project for FDA approval after May, we might be stuck with current stock for a long time.

What do you mean, "We"?


You realize that if you go back to smoking, you'll end up spending many thousands more than if set yourself up with the supplies needed to vape for many decades, right? Oh, and if done wisely, the stuff needed to vape "forever" can be had for less than $1000. Now consider the annual cost of a pack-a-day habit in NYC...

I dont think I will go back to smoking, I cant stand the smell of cigs and the people who smoke them...I think at this point vaping has become more of a hobby then an actual necessity.. I would die vaping if I could, but If I cant, I can accept that after 9 yrs vaping.

What if it's not as easy to quit as you think? That's what I would be afraid of. Maybe you should try quitting now while there is still time to stock up if you aren't able to quit. I've read about many people on this board who cut their % of nic way down, but had a really hard time eliminating it completely.

When I eventually run out of nicotine I'll vape 0nic. I only vape 1.5mg nic now but for me it's the habit that's harder to break than the nic addiction. I also enjoy vaping.

If vaping 0 nic works for you that's fantastic. I like the habit of vaping too, but I need my 18 mg nic!

I kinda do, too, right now, with my 14mg. But really, the physical withdrawal of nic only lasts a couple of days, IIRC. Vaping something would go a long way toward keeping me from smoking, I think. I know for me, most of the habit is the inhaling, and not the feeling from the nic. I learned that about myself by quitting a bunch of times through the years.

This one. I use it to mix juices after all the ingredients have been added. 15 seconds is generally enough. Move it up and down, but don't let the tip of the stirrer come out of the liquid or you'll get splatter. One of the stirrer tips fits most bottles (the white one with the Y tip), so you can mix and stir in the same vessel.

Thank you very much, but, darn it, that's the one I have, and it kills my thumb to use it. Oh well.

Maybe you can find one with a trigger instead of a slide button. I have used mine by holding it with one hand and sliding the on switch with a finger from the other hand (when my hand gets tired of holding the switch). It's a little awkward that way though.

 

[BigPappa]

I still think shaking in a bottle is way easier and way cheaper. Lol

I shook last time. My thumb thanked me for it.

Maybe I'll see if I can figure out a way to use the stirrer with my immersion blender, which has a much more responsive button. As I said, I shook rather than using the mini mixer last time, but that, unfortunately, is hard on my bum shoulder.

God, I'm a wreck.

You are not a wreck my child.

 

[Seiggy]

I think you might be a bit behind the times. Radio Shack went bankrupt and closed all their stores some years ago.

But they still have an online presence. Don't know if it's the same company or someone who purchased the name ???

Yeah I don't know what's up with that. I guess they still sell stuff, but only online?

 

[Zazie]

You are kind but incorrect. I am at least a bit of one.

I don't know if it would be a solution for you, but I use a mini paint shaker (also have a bum shoulder) and just strap my mixes to it and let it do it's thing for a few minutes. Something to consider at least.

I have a teenage son. I just mix up a 120ml bottle and give it to him to shake it up.

Mine wised up to that trick. It was quite nice while it lasted though.

This is something to consider. Thank you.

If only I'd had the foresight to arrange for one of those.

I should also mention that I mix mine 1L at a time anymore, so even with the vigor of a teenager it's a craptastic activity.
