if not allergic to peanut butter maybe make some peanut butter playdough? she can then play with it then eat it when she is done! lol. my 3 yo son loves helping make it and snacking on it for the rest of the week.

Details man, I need details! This is very intriguing.

    I'm doing lousy on my cutting down ... did the 4 cigs or less for several days ... got stressed, doing the pack a day again.:facepalm: Doesn't help that almost all my atty's are old and are tasting it, and I burned a new one right off the bat yesterday, and didn't have time (due to work) to switch to another new one. Nothing worse tasting than a brand new burnt atty. --gag--

    Awww Erised {{{hugs}}} hon, I'm not doing "great" but better ;)

    Eeeewww, I agree, burnt atty's are terrible and makes you so mad when you burn a new one!:mad:
    I hope whatever is stressing you is gotten under control soon :)

    Hey ya'll, go talk to my husband so he's no longer trapped in the newbies forum! VoodooZero, his thread is 'it begins here' (can't link on phone)

    I am no longer on my phone: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/484828-begins-here.html

    You do realize I'm going to have to stalk that thread and convince him that he simply *must own* at least 3 provari's if he's going to be successful... :evil:

    Good afternoon all! I'm finally off the marathon phone call that's kept me tied up for a couple hours. The people I'm related to don't understand that my day job causes me to *never* *ever* want to talk on the phone. Ever.

    My family doesn't get the fact that I never want to speak on the phone again...ever. :)

    I got lucky this week I found two keyboards at thrift store for $3.00 each. I took both, they are wired but the way the roomie spills stuff I can't keep up with the cost of replacing them!

    I was working tech support for this one company and had a call to check out a faulty keyboard. When I got there I found a keyboard that had coffee spilled all over it and a post-it note that read, "Failed Immersion Test."

    I worked tech support for an ISP for 2 years and my family and friends don't get the fact that I don't want to talk on the phone to anyone ever again either. :) I do feel your pain. I would rather type any day.

    Details man, I need details! This is very intriguing.
    - 1 cup peanut butter
    - 1/2 cup honey
    - 2 cups powdered sugar

    spray your measuring cup with oil before measuring the honey and it will be easier. this recipe is closer to playdough than the otherone i have, the other is more of a dessert for kids to play with.

    i still dont mind being on the phone for family, anyone else gets text repsonses or email when i finally get around to it. or a link to google auto search. or a personal phone call guiding you to my website so i can remote in to see what the devil is screwed up now and find out WHAT they are doing so i can block it. (having to install parental controls for your uncle is NOT something you want to do but its better than fixing the computer every other weekend).

    (((((Hugs))))), sorry to hear that you've been having a rough time with the pain again. I agree with Dale -- temporary pain one can smile through (usually), but long term pain will grind you down.
    If the December hearing goes your way will that also open up medical care for you?





    I hope so, either way looks like I'll have at least Obama care, who knows what that will be? Or maybe medicaid? I don't care as long as they find a doctor that can help my back, neck, feet, hands all of it, Actually, I think I know a good doctor already, just have to see how this health plan will work. Then, after, 2 years, I think, I will have Medicare if it still exists. Today, I actually felt a tiny bit of relief compared to yesterday. Not much, but enough not to want to slit my throat!

    Ok so, I haven't felt well enough to do DIY, and I haven't really read up yet, but Lox just blew my mind, not at all what I thought. I thought you buy 100% pg liquid with say 48mgs nic. you buy 100% vg no nic you go 50/50 and add the flavor by percent to the size bottle. Now, I see I have to really study. Well, I love a good challenge, I am less afraid of the math, more afraid that my flavors wont taste the way I want them to. especially since my flavors of choice, vanilla, butterscotch, coffees and caramels are difficult. I really only vape fruits now and then for a change up, they just don't help me at all. If I only had fruit flavors, I would smoke like a chimney again. They taste nice but don't do anything to satisfy my urge to smoke.

    So funny, I worked in call centers doing marketing, I still hate the phone too. I did inbound calls, once got sent to help another division that did outbound, yuch! I treat telemarketers very badly, so I dreaded that week.

    karen if your trying to achieve 50/50 blend i think dont quote me lol.
    48mg nic PG
    60/40 blend vg/pg if you can get it

    after you blend together with pg based flavors should cut it down to about 50/50

    that's why we love you JJ!!!!!! But, I will do it right and learn more. I need to just in case I ever have to make juice for someone else.

    Sorry to hear you are stressed, I hope that you are able to enjoy the weather change a bit and relax. I think the change made my problems worse but either way I am glad it's here.
    I hear very good things about the I16's I haven't tried them myself. Adding to my list which is long and I will still have to eliminate half of what's on there! LOL

    I was commiserating with Kittyn. I think there are a lot of people who can relate. I spent so many years on the phone, or face to face I have a very low tolerance for other people. Half the time I don't even want play live any more and that's supposed to be the fun part.

    I hope so, either way looks like I'll have at least Obama care, who knows what that will be? Or maybe medicaid? I don't care as long as they find a doctor that can help my back, neck, feet, hands all of it, Actually, I think I know a good doctor already, just have to see how this health plan will work.

    Sadly your state did not opt to expand medicaid, (must be a republican governor) mine didn't either and it is complete stupidity. It was free federal money going to people who need it the most. But yeah everyone qualifies for the affordable care act. I'm waiting till the website is fixed before checking it out. It was broke when I last played with it the week it went live.

    In most cases though, if you qualify for SSDI, you will then automagically qualify for the state run medicaid program. These laws vary by state so you may need to delve into it a bit deeper to find out for sure.

    Ok so, I haven't felt well enough to do DIY, and I haven't really read up yet, but Lox just blew my mind, not at all what I thought. I thought you buy 100% pg liquid with say 48mgs nic. you buy 100% vg no nic you go 50/50 and add the flavor by percent to the size bottle. Now, I see I have to really study.

They taste nice but don't do anything to satisfy my urge to smoke.

    Typically you buy: Concentrated Nic (its cheaper) suspended in PG or VG, 100% PG, 100% VG, sweetener, (ethal maltyl and / or Sucralose) and Flavoring. There are other agents that smooth, or sour flavors but those are best left for later if ever.

    The process is figuring how much you want to make total, what Nic level you want, flavoring amount, (15-25% is norm) and what PG/VG you want it all to be. Plug all the values into a calculator, or use shortcuts like Lox's, mix it up, and shake the hell out of it.

    Most of the art (work) comes in figuring out what percentage of flavor you like, and what percentage you need to blend 2 or more flavors together. All flavors are not created equal. So a good tip, is to mix small flavor batches with no nic before you make a larger batch with nic and flavored to your liking.

    Clear as mud right?
