That’s the thing, they’re not letting us know what’s up in May. I’m basically prepared, but I’d like to know.
I just read something about how 90% of our meds are made there. And if China stops producing or even shipping them, people will be without the medications they need.
I wonder if that’s the truth, or they’re keeping up appearances.

Have you seen any of "Broadchurch" with David Tennant and Olivia Colman, Jodie Whittaker? Last I looked it was on Netflix, a really good Brit-crime series, one of the best I've ever seen.
Yep either the meds or the ingredients to make them mostly come from China.That’s the thing, they’re not letting us know what’s up in May. I’m basically prepared, but I’d like to know.

Capitalism shoots the heck out of our national security.
And yet it is not permitted to import drugs from Canada because they are not safe?
it said they are packing shit to ship. they just can't get it out yet.
i am sure they have as much as they had before the virus.
vendors would be wise to have already placed their orders, to get in line sooner. i would also bet the orders from us are getting put behind the vendors.
Trick for opening Chubby gorilla bottles.

I really liked Broadchurch. I thought David Tennant was great in that. It was creepy without being overdone.
I hate those bottles! I have one 60ml that I can’t open for anything. And that’s getting the cap off. I tried once to get the nozzle off, and hurt my fingers.
I saw on one of the Chinese sites an opener for the caps. I just can’t remember where.
Only big chubby gorilla bottles that I have are still full of Vanilla custard V1 or Vanilla whipped Cream.
This is my refill setup. I also have 30 ml bottles for out and about. Thumbnail and a bit of side pressure open them fine.
.
Where did you nab that? I really need one. I have a few bottles I can’t open, from Bickford flavors to juice.
So those just pop off? The bottles of juice I bought a while back on sale are crazy hard to open. One 60ml I chucked somewhere after I almost cut myself opening it!
So they say I have never tried to remove the top from a large Chubby Gorilla bottle.So those just pop off? The bottles of juice I bought a while back on sale are crazy hard to open. One 60ml I chucked somewhere after I almost cut myself opening it!
I’m talking about just getting the top off the bottle when it’s new. Lately I’ve had some that don’t want to open for anything.
The inside cap I tried to remove once and failed.

from china. but BCF has em. like $5 or something
You mean unscrewing the outer cap? Not the inner squirty nozzle?I’m talking about just getting the top off the bottle when it’s new. Lately I’ve had some that don’t want to open for anything.
The inside cap I tried to remove once and failed.
I dunno, Have not done either yet. But if my 120 ml Chubby gorilla bottles full of VCV1 give me trouble I will cut them open and drain into glass bottle for use.
I mean opening the outer cap for the first time when it’s sealed. They’ve gotten really hard to open lately. And I didn’t want to cut them open since I paid for them, but I may have to.
I’ve never tried removing the nozzle, but after May who knows?
Mine hasn't moved since 12/30. Supposedly they're looking into it. I'm done. Don't want it anymore.
I had one order with sourcemore. Never again.
Nope, just filed with Paypal for a refund.
Burt Gummer from the Tremors movies? Lol
How mine turned out as well.
LOL pretty much.
How does that process work? Never had to but will be for doing so today for that first ring I bought.

Easiest thing to do, imo, is start on the Paypal site. Go to the transaction click on it to open the detail. Near the bottom of the screen you should see "Report a Problem." Just start there.
That's what I did. Easy peasy. This is the 2nd one I've had to file in the last month, or so. The first one, I got the refund, then the damn thing showed up. Yeah, I contacted the vendor, said to charge me for it, they did, but gave me a discounted price.
They would not even respond to my emails until after I had filed a Paypal dispute.
They then tried to tell me it had been shipped. I had taken my info to a postmaster and had him check. It had never been shipped.

Hasn't moved from showing arrival at an airport here in the states?
You guys aren't giving me much hope here...
Im trying to be patient, but I'm not a patient man generally.
That's just it, can't even tell. I think it's still in China, honestly. Never said that it arrived in the states, just said that it arrived to the airport.
Yeah that means it arrived in the states. Now it's lost, or being molested by customs. At least that's my take on it. Their tracking system is shit.

The FT order I had that was stalled in that same place in the tracking, I swear it was already in the States. Once it started moving again (after FT filed an investigatory claim with USPS) it only took about 4 days to get to me.
i could be wrong. but i bet usps could give a rats ass about FT. coincidence me thinks.
I do not think the USPS selectively ignores customer requests/complaints.

This is not unusual for me. I did rewick a Rimfire and fill it with @wildgypsy70 's Honeycomb Custard and Cookies. Used MB Legendary Custard in it since I don't have FA Custard Premium and just cannot rationalize to myself why it's necessary to order flavors from the UK when there are thousands of them available here.
Anyway, the HC&C is very good! First custard I've vaped in many months!
No I've not. At present the only paid service on Roku we're using is Amazon Prime for about $6 monthly. Her cell phone service dropped her "free" Hulu account. Amazon lets us access IMDB free movies and tv though, as well as a few freebies from time to time from the likes of Starz, Cinemax and so on. I've also checked out a series called DCI Banks. it's kind of interesting yet slow moving.
Roger that, will do. Made Chris get all boohoo this afternoon. I was catching up on some New Amsterdam I had missed. As punishment I had to watch Linkin Ryhme instead of Friday Night Smackdown. Keep thinking "Oh hey Hank" when they show Linkin.

So, I got my new mod today. Cute lil thang, really awesome feel in the hand... but the orange really doesn't match my orange and black driptip.
Gotta try to find a better-matching driptip, but those acrylic Mings are getting nearly impossible to find, since everyone wants to huff their vape these days.

Wouldn't surprise me about the virus being something to do with a research lab. Pretty sure shit like that happens here in the US, just gets covered up easier (better?). Of course I don't have any proof but I did wonder what they planned to do with ft knox once they moved the armored vehicles to ft benning to cross train with the infantry. Around the time the bases got reconfigured to 'centers for excellence'. Seemed kind of sad given the history of knox and of course the trails and terrain, really well suited for armor training. The head scratcher was they converted knox to a 'human resources' base.
A few things that seemed odd, for one the vault. The armor was part of the vault defense/response, now the motor pools look like a graveyard. Weird to pull that level of defense from the vault but whatever. Then of course they built that huge ass new structure for human resources. Because obviously the base was void of any usable existing buildings (heavy sarcasm). Ireland hospital appeared to stay open, so I guess when you close down a full sized base and convert it for a handful of HR employees, makes sense to retain a hospital that size. From photos I've seen appears to be the only two heavily populated areas remaining.
So all this basically leads to a critter some lady my mom is friends with online stumbled across walking her dog. She showed me photos, it's ugly as sin. It was dead, not quite a skeleton though. Hairless. An elongated mouth with teeth maybe similar to a dog or fox or something. Long thin tail and larger haunches with back legs, no visible front legs. Not like front legs that got removed, eaten or anything, like no nubs like it never had front legs to begin with. Short rounded ears far back on the head well behind the eyes with a sort of long flat head about the same thickness as its neck. Just a creepy looking bastard. The area the lady was walking her dogs in was a wooded area only around maybe 30-40min from the base.
My theory is the government hates to waste a mostly deserted facility and while hospitals are good for injured/sick folks, they're also pretty handy for research. Guessing now that the base is mostly empty they're likely utilizing some of it as research and one of their creepy little mutants escaped. Kind of a handy place out of the way, remote for the most part with access by road, air, rail. Was going to post the pics but they're kinda nasty and can't remember if the forums have a spoiler feature or not to hide images from general view until clicked on. Wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to scroll through and see a crusty bald looking dead dog/rat thing. lol.
For vape related, checked my FT order. Was supposed to be the last day for the last 2 items to show up in stock but instead they now say 'restocking'. When I open the sku for the m25 clone it says restocking in 5 days. I don't really know how to read all that crap, supposedly restocking is when they're out of stock and there's a delay from the supplier. What's odd is the other item that says 'restocking' when I open the sku (to make sure I'm not looking at a different listing than what I ordered) it says nothing about a delay. Says item is in stock. So dunno what the holdup there is or if they'll split the shipments or not. Not really trying to pester them given the whole corona delays and whatnot, I'm sure they already hear from enough people asking 'wheres my shit'.

Well, if ya wanna get your tin foil hat on, start researching Lymes disease.....I know more than a few doctors that believe that Lymes was a bio weapon that got out.
I, personally, wouldn’t put it past our government. They’ve been behind some pretty sordid shit.......

Well, the usual battery charging.....also weeding through some older experiments. Most of them were ones I wanted to steep to see if they would get better.....nope. Only one of 10 managed to get better. Bottle washing, I went.
I also finally mixed up some of the recipes from the 365 thread....Nanaimo Custard, Banana Bread French Toast and Pistachio Macaron. The Nanaimo Custard is the winner of the lot, I’m thinking. Already rich and creamy. The macaron has promise, but I might need to pull the almond back a bit. We shall see.......they’re all steeping now.
Oh, and I have two carts going......for flavors.......

Rhonda has some pretty orange blanks at AHD, and she has lowered prices. Rainforest shape 510 averages $12 plus $3 for shipping. Maybe see if she has a blank you like?
Made 4 litte testers for new flavors to sample.
- C(hem)N(ovati)C Lemon Cream Wafer
- CNC Lemon
- CNC Vanilla Pudding
- TFA Papaya II

Got a link for AHD? I had one, but it got misplaced.
Is that rainforest shape 510 nice and narrow inside? The acrylic Mings I love are really great for my "gnat's-ass-tight" draw! Thx!
Andria
Right, I wouldn't either. I know the private sector's into weird shit. Had family who worked in a research hospital and accidentally gained access to an undisclosed floor they weren't supposed to have access to. All kinds of illegal crap, animals like monkeys with electrodes sticking out of their brains, animals with their legs on backwards. Front legs surgically moved to the rear, rears to the front. That was 50yrs ago. Sorta begs the question but why, to what end would that serve? Boston Dynamics - hold my beer, seems like a good way to orient legs on a robo dog. Wonder where they got the idea. lol

I think we talked about the inner diameters before, I want to say the Rainforest I have is 4 to 5mm. I'll double check that in a little while.
If that's too loose, maybe just message Rhonda on FB and ask if she can go narrower?
They are prone to damage to by certain concentrates too. The top of the bottle will anyway if you look really really closely, because of the near brittle or hard nature of the plastic, develop tiny little cracks when the tip is forced in. Its there that things like FW licorice, FA Lime and Citrus Mix and others will get a foothold. Those little cracks become bigger and more easily seen, becoming opaque and cloudy in appearance. When left to sit, FW licorice will cause inside the bottle a cloudy appearing line around the juice level as it appears to be and is affecting the plastic. I knew a vendor that mixed his own house brand and threw out dozens of Chubbys with the mixes in them that this happened to. Another stopped stocking them after similar complaints from customers.I hate those bottles! I have one 60ml that I can’t open for anything. And that’s getting the cap off. I tried once to get the nozzle off, and hurt my fingers.
I saw on one of the Chinese sites an opener for the caps. I just can’t remember where.
Filed a PayPal dispute against sourcemore.
I emailed them 3 days ago with no response inquiring about half of an order that I have not received. Never filed a dispute before... as soon as I submitted the dispute, sourcemore sent me an email with my order details in it. Strange. I didn't ask for that. And why didn't they answer my email inquiring about my missing half of my order? I don't need reminded of what I ordered, I want my item or my money.
