Is it ok to remove the insulator and roll a fat 325 mesh wick for 50/50 juice? Will this wick ok?

i remove all my insulators and use the ones that come in boge cartos, they are flexible and don't melt .. Not to mention, if i roll a small wick i use two insulators if i roll a fatty i use 1 or none.. Just an easy way for me to do it.. seeing how all juice runs differently regardless of what the vg/pg says .. just what i think.. I THINK everyone just finds there own personal preferences on rolling ..

Ouch... that sucks, Ty!

Our poor kitten Myst died before she'd even lived 8 months from something similar, although not quite the same. Apparently cats, and in particular kittens, can have their marrow systems "shocked" out of functioning by vaccines, illnesses, and the like. They just shut down, and stop making new red blood cells. Sometimes they can be coaxed back into function with B-class vitamin injections and some other supplements, but not usually.

We tried, 'tho. But who the heck thought a supplement for a cat should be CHERRY flavored?? :blink:

We think she got Swine Flu (this was in 2010, and me and my wife both got it BAD); especially after it was reported that it could cross species into cats and sometimes dogs.

The final option was to try a bone marrow transplant - but subjecting a small kitten to that amount of trauma for almost no possibility of success vs. letting her die of hypoxia (you generally get woozy for a few hours before finally just falling asleep - I've spoken to hypoxic human patients when I worked at the hospital; it's absolutely painless albeit confusing) in the comfort of home ... that decision kind of made itself.

We didn't even want to euthanize her, given the circumstances (if there was great pain it would probably be a different decision) - didn't want her last moments on earth being in the terrifying confines of the vets office (I'd love to find a vet that would be willing to do house calls for that sort of sad work, or better yet just give us a pre-loaded syringe - although I'm sure there's laws against that).

So, little Myst fell asleep purring and happy in the arms of my step-son's girlfriend... and never woke up again.

Can't think of a better way to go, if ya gotta go.

OK; now that I've bummed everyone out... sorry. :facepalm:

I'm really sorry to hear that Harry... That really makes me sad :(

I know that when the time comes for my cat, Jace to go.. I'll be an absolute wreck. I don't even like cats in general.. but he's been my best friend since I got him a year and a half ago as a kitten..

OMG! I am waiting on batts for my Zens. I can't get my ZAG to thread onto my ss ggts due to the substandard threading on the ggts that I have an ac adaptor with dial in voltage settings for.:facepalm: I gave a box mod and 2, new, IMR 18650 batts away to my friend's mom the night I was trashed and "sort of made it" to Vape Bash...:blush: I thought I was going to be able to pick up some there, so I didn't order any. :censored:

Now I am waiting, and charging the really only 1 good battery that I have left. :ohmy: In between I am having to use an older (which in the vaping world isn't really that much older, just everything is changing and improving so fast) box mod that has an ac cord with a regular atty because my ZAU won't fit on it due to the drip cup that's on it...:facepalm: It is literally making me sick vaping with it, ugh! :nah: And thinking that's how I actually used to vape is almost unbelievable to me now! :blink: Wth? :confused: Virginia Slims never even came close to "Coming A Long Way Baby"...:nah:

cherry flavored?!

Yeah; it was pretty amazing. It's just companies being cheap - this was clearly a medication created for human children that got sub-marketed to the vet industry. That happens a lot. For example, a tip for "preppers": a ready supply of non-prescription tetracycline is available at your local aquarium supply store in blister packs of 5 or so capsules, marked "not for human consumption"... but it's the exact same stuff. :p

But there's nothing quite like the expression on a cat's relatively expressionless face when you force an eye-dropper of thick, cherry-flavored goo down their gullet. You feel guilty laughing at the sick afterwards, but damn... it was funny. :)


(Click forward to 4:55 to see something similar... although I don't know what's up with these kitties. :) )

Anyway; we move on and learn a little humility along the way. But in the meantime, my prayers are with your fuzzy buddy, Ty. :nun:

Awww, Sorry DH. :( And poor little Myst how adorable...:cry: My vet does do house calls like that, and some others here also. My vet also makes a cement paw print afterwards too... And me and all of my animals feel the exact same way about the terrifying confines in some vet's office. Hell, mine don't even like going there for anything.

My 4 batts (18650s) are almost a year old now... I keep getting the paranoid feeling that I need to replace them, even though they are still working well... so far.............
