On the false vape board drama.
Most of us are just affirming what you said. We could not care less, but the repeated attempts to stir the pot is a bit humorous.
and it has been a bit dull on here with the summer posting slump and all ;)

And HEY! How ya doin?
I so agree! I'm doing good! Hiding in the house from the heat and humidity outside. Supposed to be 100 here Fri, Sat, and Sun. It is summer and NC after all! :) Working and playing with the puppy rounds out the life. :giggle: I'm dull. :rolleyes:

Hiya Lynn! :wave: It really is a hot one this year, no shit!

What Cromwell said... it's just funny. As if we cared one jot, tittle, or iota, about ANYTHING that goes on over in that cesspool. I keep trying to spread the enlightenment known as "fuck them, we're HERE" but it seems to fly right over some folks' heads. :giggle: And we can't have people being mean to Juicy when she's got enough to worry about right now.

Hey Fugee's :)


Still alive and kicking. :bunny:



Been arguing with the 401K peeps trying to get my funds released to me so I can roll it over into an IRA and actually access it, and the long term disability people, getting anything done with them is like pulling teeth. This month alone I had to sign the same exact form 3 separate times and mail it back to them three times and then I get notified that the believe I am not doing everything they asked and if they dont get the info the say they need, then they will drop my case next month. WTF over!

Needless to say I been aggravated and frustrated and having a bunch of light chest pains that my doc doesnt seem concerned about and before long I am either going to croak or snap and if I snap it wont be pretty :( So I been staying away from everything and everybody but I have been thinking of yall :D

Oh, got him vaping maybe half the time. Gain is gain they say. But that's still a whole pack of smokes he's consuming since his third fucking stroke :mad:
Tell him to keep trying. I'm really down on the WTA but dream of smoking now every night. And sometimes buying a pack pops in my head but I won't do it. Should be off the wta soon I hope. I haven't been around lately. Been battling the worst case of bronchitis ever. :(
Miss yooze guys!

Sorry to hear you've been down, this being summer and all, especially

Funny you talk about dreaming of smoking, which I see quite a few people post about

It never happened to me until the other night - and it was very disturbing to watch myself smoke in my dream. In the dream, I was talking about how just having one cigarette would not make me a smoker again, but in it I smoked not just one but two cigarettes :eek:

It's been almost two years since I smoked a whole cigarette. I have taken a puff every once in a while. But I have never had a dream about it until lately. It's really weird. But I chain smoke in my dreams and I'm loving it. That's kind of scary.

I've had similar dreams of drinking for nearly 25 yrs now -- in the dream, somehow it's ok for me to drink just one. I guess the point really is, I never drank "just one" IN MY FUCKING LIFE, and I know it's not possible for me to ever do -- if I could drink just one, I wouldn't be a fucking alcoholic!

I've dreamed of smoking occasionally since I quit, but not a lot, and very often, in the dream, I'll go ugh, this is awful, where's my mod? :giggle: Or I feel that old craving, and right there in front of me, appears my mod. :D

No dreams or desires to smoke a cig.
Strange after a 40 yr habit....
But then that is me, strange :rolleyes:

I do still dream about sex though :D

I used to have this weird reoccurring dream where I'd be about to do it with someone really off the wall, like a televangelist or the president, and I'd be really wanting it bad, and just moments before actual salami is hidden, I'd look around and realize the room was full of disapproving people like my grandparents :crazy:

Wow - super-congratulations

You really got something going on there <3

Yeah, it's been real. Had our struggles, but somehow managed to work them out. I'm sure it didn't hurt that we were both previously married to others, learned a few things about being married, and also: divorce sucks! :D I have this throw pillow on my couch that I FINALLY begged from my mom (it was on her loveseat in her "sun room", ie., rarely ever seen by anyone!) a few years ago, that says "Happiness is being married to your best friend." Yep. I'm not sure that marital happiness is possible any other way.

I know what you mean - people act shocked when I say I actually like my husband. Yes, I love him very much, but the two don't always go hand in hand I've noticed

He, and my son, are really the only people I can tolerate being around that much, though even they sometimes get on my last nerve. I may not be a TOTAL hermit... but close. ;)

And it's once again time to send my ex an email, advising him of the 30 yrs of wedded semi-bliss; the same ex who once told me that I might get another man, but I'd never keep him. The same ex who embarked on his THIRD marriage a few years after my own, and got a divorce from that one too, about 10 yrs ago. His third divorce. :giggle: Revenge is so sweet. ;)

Not that I know of, unless he can pull some money out of his ass as he was so prone to doing in years past... But, I keep the accounts now, and I don't think there's any money hiding in his ass. :giggle: At this point, I'm wondering if he'll even remember to say "Happy anniversary" when he gets home from work. :facepalm:

Yeah, I do

Z coil, twisted fused clapton, about .5 ohms - can't remember how many wraps, blah blah, been on the same coil for quite awhile now, lol

It's a kick ass little thang
Thanks! Been running my as a basic SS dual coil, but it's time to rewick, so was thinking about rebuilding it to, to try it as a single coil. Good to know you like it that way.

You should use Yeti Wire coils in there.

No thanks, do people actually pay those prices? Yeti coils would be expensive even at half the price. Yeti Wire SS Claptons, 2 for $10, UD SS Claptons 10 for $5, I know which one I'm buying if I decide to buy prewrapped coils and it ain't Yeti.

Elitism is not cheap ;)

heck I use single wire coils that I wrap.
a 50 ft spool of wire lasted me a year.

and factory tank coils? LOL take a $30 atty and use $30 worth of coils in it in a month.
The money is made on the coils not the atty.

A week or so ago, I finally finished off the first 50' spool of 29ga I bought in summer 2014. :giggle: Under it, I found another 50' spool of 29ga, as well as a 100' spool, so I think I'm pretty well set on wire for a while. ;)

My son recently expressed an interest in trying the 28ga, so I made a coil for him with that; he seems to like it well enough, so I may finally be able to consider that spool something other than a waste of money.

Just absolutely peachy! In fact he just completed his first Kayfun refill! I've had him watching me with coil-building, wicking, the "condom method" of refilling cartos, and the Kayfun refilling, so he's starting to take on a *little* of the responsibility for maintenance. He's noticed that cartos get HOT when in use, compared to Kayfuns or even my Achilles, so he may wean away from those pretty soon. Also he's been watching me mix ejuice, so he should be able to to tackle at least the mixing part pretty soon, even if not the recipe-creation aspect -- a bit more advanced skill.

Wednesday was 2 wks smoke-free for him. He told me he's had a couple of cravings, but vaping maniacally seems to at least push them back, so he can go on with whatever he's doing and forget about it. Next week, the day after my 3 yrs, he'll hit 3 wks, and I told him if he starts to feel depressed, unusually angry, or just craving intensely, to let me know A.S.A.P! so I can give him a few drops of WTA to get him past it... But, he's taking bupropion (welbutrin, buspar) for anxiety, which is an SSRI, so he may not hit those trouble spots quite as hard as unmedicated folks do. *fingers crossed*

One thing I've noticed here on VU besides freedom to be a human (lol) is that most here seem to be subohm/higher power/DL vapers. Where's the tootle puffer MTL threads :D
Of course now that I'm building 0.6 ohm SS coils technically I'm subohming but at <400 deg and 11W MTL it's still tootle puffing :rolleyes:

Yep subohming means little now.
I subohm Kanger Stubtank Mini V2's with rba. SS316l .4 ohm at 17 watts.
And I subohm .25 ohm SS316l's in a Kanger dripbox atty on a CV mod. 40 - 50 watts.

True MTL I never liked or did after I moved up off of 808 batteries.
But many anjoy tight MTL vapiing and I have nothing against those who vape that way.
Much better than smoking any way you cut it.

There are a few of us around here, but you're right, we're definitely in the minority. It's a conspiracy to get people to buy more ejuice. :giggle:
