PG that's awesome. I know my dad's doctor is amazed at how his circulation has improved over the past two years. The poor guys is pretty much tubes from his heart to his toes due to artery problems and now the doctor can actually feel the pulse in his ankle area. I know if just not smoking or vaping would be the best answer but it doesn't work for me...if I didn't vape..I would smoke. I have a good feeling about the mini..it's coming from an old lady in Iowa...they will just let it right through:D


Kevin take it easy and get your rest (sure I know you're all about getting rest)...but seriously take care of yourself.

Well my blood pressure hasn't been as good as it is now for a long time. They almost put me on medication a few years ago but since I started vaping, it has been excellent. Even as bad as I felt today, it was only 128/72.

And the FDA would have us think that the nicotine in our juices is bad for us. :facepalm:

Yes, but they are also approving drugs that they deem safe and that are then later recalled because of all the bad side effects. Silly me, I thought that was what all the testing was supposed to discover before they approved the drug......so I avoid drugs and the FDA and don't take their word for anything.........LOL

Sorry, forgot to say that I hope you feel better soon.

Check me if I'm wrong, but no one has recalled nicotine yet right? And my Vape is gonna kill us all? I guess we'd better outlaw these nasty APV's.

My :2c:

Oh, and yes, I do realize how little I actually do contribute to this thread in general. Can't do much, ain't no ..../poop/ball joke subforum. And if there was I would likely be a moderator.

I call bullchit.
You do contribute. This thread and the old one.
Don't make me come up there.

Except when its a guy doing it and the part I dislike the most is when he says:

"Ok roll over on your side and pull your knees up; this will be a little uncomfortable": I know what's coming next its the...... PROBE.

The snap of those surgical glove and the vaseline. You know i'm sure he lines up from the other side of the examining room. He's a little guy with short stubby fingers. Of course I can't see any of this 'cuz I'm facing the wall, my eyes are shut tight and my teeth are clenched and I'm sure that's exactly the way he looks except he's got both feet on the wall for leverage with that short stubby finger, hell, what do I know could be a frikken forearm!

"let's see..........." Lets see? What the hell are you doing looking?

"Feels ok..........." Like chit and I hope you got some on you;

"A little bigger but that's normal, smooth, no lumps............." Lumps? What are you talking about? I got no lumps!!!!

"okay your good to go.........." What no kiss, no telephone number......? I've been used again.

Some good things: BP 120 over 70; NO SMOKERS MOUTH (and he can tell), LUNGS SOUND GOOD, I LOOK HEALTHIER THAN ANY OTHER TIME; AND AND AND

He likes the concept of the e-cig I'm proof he's got 12 years of my medical history to prove it. I even showed him my (no Ian you pervert) my SideWinder and I vaped it in his office. I think he's going to order some Rat Juice.

You know.... while I do feel bad for you fellas, I still don't think it even remotely compares to being in a thin paper gown in a cold room, ankles to the moon and a compete stranger up to their elbow in places they don't belong.


Just putting that out there.

Verdict is in..........Influenza A. He said I'd feel like chit for 5 to 7 days but would survive.

Favorite blankie, warm soups, plenty of liquid.
Feel free to moan and groan often.
And I'm sending white light and healing thoughts your way.

Vape Mail!!
Bear Brass Mod number 011.
See Ed? I still can't get an even numbered PV!

Pics may follow, later or tomorrow.

On the other hand, both of which are sore.....
I hate getting blood drawn. The only veins they can ever seem to find are on my hand or wrist.
They should be pretty colors tomorrow.

I have finally learned how to make wicks without oxidizing them now. Not even the coil area.
They even work. I'm liking these better no color change in my liquid now.
I have made two so far and haven't even had to adjust my coils once.

What method are you using? Got a link to a YouTube video by chance? I haven't tried a non oxidized wick yet.

A Sidewinder Issue

I sitting here happily vaping my SW along and all of a sudden zip, nada.

Figuring it's the Battery I change it out. Still no joy.
Check the coil it's at 2.7 ohms and the mesh is not interfering.
Cleaned switch which wasn't dirty still nothing.
Tank off spring ok

Any ideas?

2.7 ohms seems high, what do you normally run?

Make sure both connection screws are tight?

Tug the coil just a little to make sure the leads aren't broke or weak?

The experts always say if the problem is constant, it's the coil, and if it's intermittent, it's the switch.........

In light of new facts, or simply because its not yet comfortable to sit?

Thank for the opportunity to explain my "position" on the matter.

On the one hand I was there in the delivery room of both my children and in the midst of this wonderful incredible act of birthing that I am witnessing the thought occurred to me that it was like being in a garage with a whole bunch of mechanics looking under the hood of my sweetheart pulling a piston. Much like a beautiful car the female of our species is a beautiful and wondrous being with very complex mechanics.

On the other hand my discomfort is acute due to the unnatural expansion of that which should not be expanded much like an "o" ring in this case an "AH" ring and which will never be "licked". The other issue, also temporary, is that of "vaseline impregnated flatulence" which after each occurrence always leaves one with the question .... was that what I hope it was, just air?
