Finally up from my 'nap' so I can go back into work tonight for another 'scheduled' midnight shift. :facepalm:

Claudia, you did great on your shopping trip. So often what we expect to be difficult is much easier than we thought it would be. I smell a new banner in the works! :toast: And I think I smell Shari's new juice from here as well. ;)

FQ, thanks for the mental image of a kindergartener with dentures. :blink:

    So I got an RDA in the mail from fasttech a couple days ago & I've slowly been trying it out. Gotta say my problem with dripping before was definitely an equipment issue, this thing is so much nicer. Also I am finding some of my fruitier flavors that I just couldn't handle in a tank all day are bearable in short doses dripping. I won't drip all the time but I'm coming around & could enjoy this when the baby is not around (I'm too scared of getting juice on him).
    Welcome to dripping Jess :)
    I'm home and I did much better than I expected. :) I actually didn't think about a smoke the whole time I was out, except when going out the exit at Sam's club. OMG I could smell it from inside the store and it was awful, I think I am well on my way to getting a banner very soon. I won't say I didn't vape myself into a near stupor as soon as I walked in the door though, lol.
    Congratulations Claudia, amazing how we get worked up over something & then ....... it turns out simple :)
    I'm glad your able to vape again. That should feel like a relief or accomplishment after what you've been through. Can you trade your juices for others? Do you even know what you want to try?
    Oh I can give some away once I revisit & decide what I want to keep & what I want to get rid of. Oddly I've started liking sweeter vapes & Mellows of all things :)
    Whew! The day is done. The dentist gave dd1 the thumbs up, no cavities. DD2 on the other hand. . .well, do they make dentures for kindergartners? The answer is no. And they want to extract all 8 of her front teeth and crown all the back teeth. No worries, her permanent teeth will emerge around age 8 or 9! /sarcasm

    We're going for a second opinion. This office is primarily for medicaid patients, when they saw my private insurance card their eyes lit up. Grrr. So, no joy there, she has forbidden me from telling anyone about it because she is embarrassed. Lucky for me she can't read! I'll just tell you guys instead.
    Hope you all had a fantastic day with massages and shopping trips and NOT like ours. Tomorrow I need a do-over!
    Yes indeed dear FQ, you deserve a do over!!! Unless your dd is in pain there's no reason to have those teeth worked on:( They wanted to remove my dd four front teeth when she was just a little thing & I said no ..... so DH takes her to the dentist next time & they yank 'em all out!:mad:
    cant catch up Bill is in the hospital. Be back when I can
    Oh Lori! :( {{{{{hugs}}}} still praying dear friend:cry:

    Hi everybody, I have nothing current to post, playing catch up again.

    I do have a question if anyone around is able to answer it though!

    I love lime. I (mostly) hate throat hit. Every juice I have tried with noticeable lime taste (Couple Baja Blast type juices, mojito, key lime pie, even lime candy types) does bad bad beat my throat in stuff.

    Is it possible to have lime AND no TH? Is there really just something about vaping citrus that means it has to be harsh on the throat (I'm not as big on other citrus fruit, but have tried a couple lemon and orange juices that also kick me on the throat but not as bad)?

    I dunno, just wondering for ideas since I do like the flavor of some of the lime-y juices I have and have tried, I just can't vape them often and it's annoying and I would like to see if lime I find tolerable is even possible.

    ETA: The PG/VG in the ones I've tried varies, so while that may play in some, I am assuming that's not all there is to it.

    Kittyn, try adding some marshmallow or cream based liquid to it, that's all I know will give it a softer flavor for you:)
    I recently bought a Mellow Peach for the same reason (has marshmallow in it) it is very nice but subtle.

    Yes .... the massage should be ........ "interesting" :laugh:

    I had a couple of massages in the last few years for the first time ever. It's soooo relaxing. You will love it!

    Massages are awesome!!

    yeah.gif


    My mother is a massage therapist. I am still pouting that she moved to Kentucky since I can't afford anyone who costs more than...Oh, a trade for baked goods, manual labor, or crafts. :p

    Hope you enjoyed/enjoy it :)


    LORI!--
    Hoping the best for ya'll and I'll keep you in my thoughts.

    Do you have any whipped cream or bavarian creme juice, even sweet cream. I keep reading that it sweetens up and tones down other juices. Might make you a lime smoothie or milkshake. That's it on ideas for me on that. Maybe mix in a little watermelon? Or something like vanilla cupcake. I am trying to think. Puddings?

    I have very few other things that will mix well (Mostly already pretty complicated concoctions that I dont see ending well ifmixed). I am looking at grabbing some other juices and random bits before long, so I think I'm going to end up tossing on a few random small bottles of SOMETHING to try to tone down a couple juices I have that need it.

    I know a lot of people swear by marshmallow or cream type things, does marshmallow actually add sweetness? Most of what I like enough to bother fiddling with is already pretty sugary so adding what seems (to me anyway) to be just fluffy sugar flavored juice is kind of a scary idea. At this point though, I'm still willing to try it if I can;t come up with a better idea, just after some idea of what to expect if I do.

    The lime with the mellow peach might be nice. Or a little cool mint or a melon. MBV is supposed to have a good whipped cream that is very popular for this type of mixing and they are very cheap. If you spend $15 they will send you a 15ml sample and you can choose your sample. I don't like several of their flavors but for the whipped cream it might be worth a look. How about lime coconut cream pie? I hate coconut but that almost sounds good. Go on the DiY forum and look and see what other people do to tone down lime! Maybe that is better than guessing.

    This is terrible. DH dad on Mother's Day, our Brother in law stage 4 lung cancer and no more treatment for him, my cousin on dialysis (she's my age) waiting for a kidney she will never get because of rare blood type, my neighbor's and best friend's funeral tomorrow, my son's grandma, and now Lori's Bill again. What the hell is going on in this world? And the USA has the best medical care in the world? That is BS. It's not fair and it's not right. This many at one time? And half of us in rediculous pain and they can't figure it out or do anything. Or even find a diagnosis for the other half of us. Go to this dr, have tests, go to that specialist and have more tests, go back to first dr and start again. BS! Oh, no insurance, we are not taking new patients. we don't take medicare, blah, blah,blah. Rant over. I am going to take a sleeping pill and not wake up until tomorrow morning so I can go to my 58yr old neighbor's funeral. This sucks!

    Canadian Health Care at it's finest? and who said getting things for free is never good.....:D ~quickly ducks at anything thrown at me~.....



    To be honest and upfront i an teetering right now between trying it out again full time, but the whole "fear" and "OMG....What if..." is there as well......though (and again i am not speaking about anyone in particular, os saying anything bad about those already in this thread or those to come), but one thing i have learned with my wife is google is now our friend should a issue arise......and if the question is not answered in searching.....we wait about a week or two as someone is bound to come across the same thing.



    Shhhh don't say that...my wife will want to lock me in there.......i do pop by to read threads of interest and then zip off to strap myself down into the cockpit, get on the battle field, close my eyes pull the trigger.............and swear more then a sailor

    You are a riot! I hope you stick around, even if just posting and not vaping.

    Kittyn I did forget ... there is a product called "Smooth" you might could try; but I forget where I got mine:facepalm:
