Wow! That one brings back some old memories!
The year was 1973…
The theater at the next town over was playing a Double Feature
Up in Smoke and Fritz the Cat.
Good times for sure

Must’ve been fun! I’ve never seen Fritz the Cat in a theatre.

This is a pretty dreadful weekend, so far.

How was Om doing with stock? I haven’t gotten from them in a while, but I broke out some of their stuff last night. (Ascension)
Good for trying to educate folks a bit. Yeah, pain relief with no issues? lol Nope.

The other day Om was out of stock of a few things, but in a couple days it was back in stock (the cobra). Seems to be hit or miss with them, I get the impression they're a smaller operation and sometimes have issue with stock levels. I've seen before where they've been out of multiple flavors for a few weeks. Fine for suplemental juice orders but wouldn't want to rely on them heavily as a main source. I guess I take it in stride though because they're cheap and the juice is pretty good.

@MrMeowgi Awesome, thanks again. Looks interesting, you kept the flavorings the same %? My eyes kinda bugged at first glance, 33% flavoring holy cow. lol. And I thought some of AndriaD's flavoring %'s sounded high above 20%. Still might be fun to try but thinking I'd have to tone that down some. If nothing else because my nic is pg based. Even without the nic that puts it at below 70/30 and I start getting a bit of throat irritation at under 70vg. I could probably tweak it a bit and get it closer to 75-80% vg.

I liked their WTAs but they are out of them. But at those prices, I bought a few new ones I’ve never tried like Serene and Zen.
Thinking about the PG in 33% flavoring made me realize how some juice could set off a PG cough for me.
Have you tried any VG based flavors?

Commented on a local news story about a guy dying from vaping, tried to explain some stuff to people. Not sure if it stuck, but on the plus side at least as far as FB comments, 90-95% were pro vaping and telling the news site (St Louis Post Dispatch) to stop spreading false info. That's a good thing to see, people pointing out it's cbd/thc vaping and not nicotine causing the issues. According the story, the man was vaping for 'pain relief' (that says a lot right there) but had no prior health conditions whatsoever. As one of the comments pointed out - if the man had no health issues, why would he be vaping to combat pain? Sounds like he had at least one prior condition which he was trying to remedy to begin with.

That's something I still don't understand. I've partaken of the wacky for more than 40 yrs... and it absolutely does NOT do ANYTHING for pain -- in fact, because of the way it causes you to focus on one particuhlar thing to the exclusion of everything else, it even makes pain seem WORSE. So all this bushwa about CBD/THC for pain relief is nothing but bullshit, utter and complete bullshit. Advil is more effective for pain relief than CBD/THC!

For insomnia, anxiety, nausea... ok, sure, it's a valid treatment for those things. But PAIN???? NOT EVEN CLOSE! People who say they're using it for that, really don't understand the substance at all, are just getting high, but making an excuse that "sounds good." But it's bullshit.

I signed it and commented, but their request for $7 -- "the price of a coffee" ??? I don't drink coffee, it's horrible shit, but any coffee THAT expensive, I AIN'T buying, even if i LOVED that shit! For $7, I could get a BEER -- but I don't drink!

Hell, $7 here in GA would MORE than buy a pack of smokes -- but i don't do that anymore either, because $6 for 20 cigarettes is goddamned extortion!

Thank you! I had a Recurve clone and was very happy with it but the screws have started to strip very badly and now I can't find an authentic anywhere. Reviews for the C4 seem to be positive and say it is just as good.

Oh in my mind a C4 is much better than a Recurve. Still, though, there were several Recurves for sale in the Hardware thread just the other day. I'll see if I can find a link for you.

ETA: The one in the listing (there was only one after all) has been sold. So sorry. :(

No I haven't. I don't think I have a pg sensitivity personally, just that all the years of smoking and chronic coughing fried my throat. I can't tolerate the throat hit by higher levels of nic/pg so I tend to stay around 80/20. Sometimes 70/30, but higher vg if I can help it. So far the mixes I've made up I think the highest flavoring percentage has been around 11-12% maybe, most are in the 7-10% range. So it's not enough pg to throw off my ratio even using pg based nic. I still end up adding some straight pg to get my 80/20.

Yea idk, I don't do thc or anything. Supposedly cbd helps, even if it helps because of placebo effect I guess it would still be 'helpful'. The trouble is it's gotten stronger over the years in traditional form, now they have concentrated synthetics and it's causing new issues the old timers aren't familiar with. They've been finding that concentrated forms of like k2, spice and all that garbage not only aren't mixing well enough to be predictable (like unmixed high nic ejuice with hot spots), it's going beyond the traditional mellowing effects and causing violent outbursts. People were fine drinking their brewed tea or coffee, getting caffeine that way. Then they overdid it with the amped up energy drinks and overconsumption, then it leads to issues. Who knew.

Those big bottles are cool looking. Like an apothecary or old chemist shop. Nice!
Please put me on your list!

lol those are 120s. I try to mix as many of them as I can so when people want juice, they just pick one. This way I'm not taking orders and making juice multiple times a week.

Being in a ban state, I’d be thrilled with 15ml at this point!! But mixing is my future and the future is now. (Bruh! Lol)

Yeah... kinda like, coca leaves never caused the native peoples any particular problem... but once you extract the active ingredient and make it super strong... MASSIVELY addictive! And I doubt if anyone ever had any problems with willow-bark or birch-bark tea... but once you extract/synthesize acetylsalicylic acid, that shit can eat right thru your stomach, make your ears ring, and thin your blood to dangerous levels.

Modern pharmacopiea has much to answer for.

And speaking as a recovering alcoholic... I've always wondered if the first beer drinkers, the Egyptians, had the 10%-15% alcoholism problem, or if that's a genetic mutation that afflicted the human race with the advent of distillation. I do know that the Greeks watered their wine pretty heavily.

You should play some of the word games here.

I've never been any good at word games, Scrabble, crosswords, anagrams, etc, but fucking KILLER at trivia. My brain is a massive storehouse of little known, little used info of little importance to anyone... except jeopardy contestants and trivia players! And historical fiction writers, I guess. :D

Bitched, moaned, whined, and complained about the bullshit going on in the vape world. Got Vape mail. Mod from MrMeowgi and flavors from BCF. Started setting up my DIY storage. Rebuilt the Pulse 2 RDA several times trying to find a vape I like on the new Rig squonk. About it. Now I'm going to go do more bitching, moaning, whining, and complaining.

Spent time with my daughter before she moves off to Arizona, last night I taught her how to build a simple round wire coil for the Siren V2 tank I gave her. She did pretty good for her first go at it. I hope she sticks with it. Made her 240ml of my lemon tart to take as she really likes that one. Set her up with a box of building and other vape supplies, batteries, charger etc etc. You know the stuff............

Then I spent a good part of this evening ( again) still searching for the one thing I don't have that I really want in my stash in case things get really bad. A dual battery mechanical box mod. Parallel, non-hybrid. I can't find a darn one. I searched all the china sites. Guess they do not make these anymore. The one I did find was Series ( which I could probably live with if I had to ) or they had a mosfet. I want something I know won't die on me. Sheesh, who would of thought it would be so hard to find this. I have found one but it's god awful and has pretty crappy reviews but come the first if it's my only option, I will get it.



I just saw this, someone please tell me WTF is this!!!, No, just NO. I will not https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10015559/3422002-vape-punk-styled-mechanical-mod

I know it's not fully mechanical, but the Hexohms are built really well, It's a good, reputable company.

Did you daughter smoke? It's good of you to help her out like this. Nice to have a good teacher to get you started. Will this be her first time away from you?

Hexohms probably out of my price range hon. Thank you though. Meh, I shouldn't really worry about it anyway. I have some nice tube mods and I do have the Furyan Squonk mod I bought from Lucy awhile back, and can certainly use that with a non bf atty if I want.

My daughter has lived away before. But not for a long time. I mean she had her own home here but has been near me ( like 10 min away) for the last 7 years. We will try to visit each other several times a year. It's only about a 5 to 6 hour drive, but still. We are very close ( like best friends ) It's gonna be a little bit hard at first. We have video chats and we can always watch netflix movies together and stuff like that. Actually she is still smoking. At least it's less though and hopefully she will get there in time.

What sort of area is she moving to? Up north like around Flagstaff in the mountains, more middle of the state like the verde valley or down south in the lower desert with the sagauros? I lived in AZ for several years, went to high school there. Lived in the verde valley but frequented trips to Flag and stuff. Didn't get down to Phoenix too much but have been kind of all over. From Kingman to Flag, up the canyon by Payson, Pine and Strawberry, clear down to Ajo. My best friend recently moved the past year or so from the verde valley down near the border by Ft Huachuca. Some places are really pretty.

I definitely miss the dry heat, not like this wet swamp they call summer in the midwest lol. When you vape direct lung but hardly have a cloud because there's more humidity in the air than there is in your exhale. haha

I've only been to Phoenix, but the areas all around sure were pretty. Kind of the same way I feel about Vegas. I prefer to get out of the city.
