Yes - I am an idiot. ;-) I like toys and I like buying things, when you put the two together, watch out. But even if I spent more than I ever saved by not smoking, it's worth it not to be smoking. Last shipment of lower nic tobacco flavors for friends will be it for a while, should be here today or Monday. You wouldn't believe how much I've paid for gum, patches, chantrix, welbutrin, accupuncture, etc. I always found it sad the insurance companies I deal with won't pay for any of that, but the antibiotics for the lung and sinus infections, asthma meds, chemo and radiation treatments, that's no problem. Hey cool - just hit 4000 cigarettes avoided. 20 Cartons.

Hi - send a note to totallywicked, they apparently ship "to the world" http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/products.html

Nope - not there, if you are interested, look in the suppliers section. I don't mean to steer you away from it, it is fantastic and it's all about battery life. If you think you will purchase and then go on to other things, then it makes sense, it becomes your backup or if you go 5V your portable unit. I just get weird about not having a backup, you can see stories all through here about folks freaking as the run out of juice, attys, etc. I usually point out it's not a big deal as long as they go back to vaping. So if you are looking for battery life, or something cool, definitely go for the spade. BTW, VT juice is the best IMO and just so you know, this is how committed I am to backups: http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/3611-whats-in-your-tackle-box/page__view__findpost__p__30777

You and me both..if you ain't trying to learn, what's the point of being on the planet? Thanx for the compliment, I wish longevity translated to wisdom, but there are many more people wiser than me here who are younger, been here a shorter time or have been quit for less time.

In my opinion, go a little cheaper right now and get a 510 kit. Basically two ecigs so you have a backup. Spend the money you saved and buy some 24 and 11 mg juice. This way you an mix them to see what is good for you. 50/50 mix gets you 17.5 mg, so this way you get a nice range of nic. Plus you can do what alot of folks do and go 24 in the morning, and a little less later on. If the 11 is too little, oh well. My point is, and I own a spade and think it is great but if it fails, you will have to go to analogs waiting for a repair. Certainly not the end of the world but if you vape for more than a week without analogues, going back is GROSS. So my vote, as if it matters, is to get the 510 kit, save some bucks, and the 510 will be your backup for the spade later on when you get that. All interchangeable parts by the way (510s).

Hey Arc - you can't make people do it, people still have to want to quit smoking. If not, any little obstacle becomes a nuisance instead of something to overcome. just my opinion.

There should be several options on the left, capture, edit finish - finish is where you save. just have to add your movie to the storyboard at the bottom. (forget the edit option I mentioned previously).

They are just loans, but one person took so long to even start I told them to keep it. So you guys asked for it. Not shown are the 10440 charger and two batteries, the 8-10 510 batteries, 3 chargers and 6-8 510 attys on loan. Nor my wife's two 510s, 9 bottles of tobacco juice and two USB chargers that are coming so I can help some folks out starting. I just noticed my PCC was in a drawer and heaven knows what else I forgot. Some of my menthol with nic was sent out (I'm non-nic). I stupidly bought 25 little plastic bottle but cheaped out and went with black. What an idiot I am I have to get the clear ones now. So how bad am I considering I now rarely vape?

For the 510s for my wife, I use the tubes the cheap readers (eyeglasses) come in. Can store 2 regular 510s with a 3ml bottle shoved up the cap. Very hard metal case. Can easily go in a pocket, etc. For a longer day out, the spade in a case logic case that normally stores a hard drive I believe.

Maybe if I have time this weekend, supposed to be cleaning the basement so I can set up my new server, haven't even opened the box yet. Just not going to be impressive as I have 3 510 loaner kits out and I'm generous with the batts and attys on those.

I want to play, but then I would have to actually make everything look nice...so that's not going to happen. I wish more folks would post so I didn't think I was unusual in what I had. Dozens of bottles of juice, and I've already given some away, probably 50-100 carts, prefilled and empties, at least 25 510 batteries 10 megas, 30+ attys (some 801s), chargers (wall and USB) coming out my ears, a PCC, 8 10440 batteries (4 protected), Spade and a Janty stick. I have 9 more bottles of nic tobacco flavored juice on the way so I can make a few more samples kits to lend out to my friends. All this for someone who rarely vapes anymore and the wife only on the weekends, kind of weird but the bans scared me into hoarding especially since I'm non-nic.

I guess it's rascist, but if I had my way, there wouldn't be a Miss Black America, Black Pride week, etc. either. There is because the class/races that was held down or in the minority should get their time in the sun and the ones that held them down need to do their penance. It's matter of respect as opposed to integration. nothing really wrong with celebrating your roots. Kind of a shame that most whites know theirs and I guess many blacks just don't. In other words, I celebrate being of Irish heritage, not white. So if I were to say I'm getting together a club for whites instead of Irish, that probably has a basis in rascism. I'm sure the rationale is to compete better (I didn't read the article as the page wouldn't come up). Hopefully someday this will all be behind us.

Loved that game, played it at work instead of working. Was really sucked into it. summer of 1982 I believe is when I found it. Here's a blast from the past... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure And if you want to play again... http://www.rickadams.org/adventure/e_downloads.html maps and walkthroughs on the left (man I wish I had those)

Zoo Tycoon? Really? Serious...ignore previous post, I guess I do judge. Kidding. Gamertag on 360 is FTJoe, see previous post re how old I am, had that handle forever out on the web. Again, I only play MW2 and I don't mic up, I leave that for the kids. I'm proud of my KDR, 1.35, was 1.37 30 minutes ago, ouch. But as my son points out, I'll load up with noob tubes, the Scar or M16, whatever it takes. His KDR is 1.6 and change, it's scary watching him play, he's pretty good.

Okay - I have to ask. Was Zork with or without graphics? I'm talking early 80s, it was called adventur (that's not a typo, there was no 'e' as it had to be under 8 chars), definitely no graphics. it was all text based, you needed an imagination for that. I busted open the executable so I could finish the darn thing...cheating or innovative? I don't judge, nor should you. ;-)

My pet peeves... Now I'm not an aggressive driver, but I believe in the right of way, in other words, do what those around you think you will do. Scenario: So you are on a side street and come to a stop sign at a major road and you want to make a left. There is Mr. Nicey Nice on the major road coming up on your right, left blinker on about to turn onto the same side road. There are people traveling behind Mr. Nice and they expect Mr. Nice to make the turn. Instead he: 1) Does not turn because he wants to be nice and wave you out 2) Is too stupid to realize you are not coming out because his window is up and it's tinted 3) Decides he shouldn't have done this and the dance starts as you both try to make the turn, stop, start again. 4) You weren't expecting this so hopefully you check the oncoming traffic and don't just trust his judgment on whether you can get out, I've seen people do this, close calls 5) Had he just made the turn, the cars behind him would have gotten through barely touching their brakes and you would have gotten out 5 seconds later. Instead, either you get out or not, but the people behind Mr. Nicey Nice are now stuck because he can't turn because the oncoming traffic showed up. 6) And the best (ha ha) is when Mr. Nice came up to make the left, he purposefully pulled over enough to let the people behind him pass on the right, remember, he IS Mr. Nicey Nice. Now there he sits waving you out into the traffic he is letting by on his right. More close ones as neither driver can really see each other.

Isn't that the default format? I have no idea, I use Nero for my DVD and movie needs. But in playing with movie maker, looks like when you go to save, under Movie Setting, press show more choices, then press other settings, then pick and choose. Looks like everything but DV-AVI is WMV. Here's a search and recos from the web, check some out http://www.google.com/search?q=youtube+formats+moviemaker&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I realize I actually have a nice collection, but I have loaned out or given away a bunch. What's left is still impressive but I should have taken a pic.

Problem is there's no way the retailers we deal with can afford a straight up attorney to fight it. Apologies for making that assumption, but I figure it's true. Only if a lawyer thought there was money to be had would they take a case on the contingency of winning.

Ya - played it, but more and more I'm into the on-line multi-player, campaign is fine, but I'm kind of addicted to the COD deathmatch. MW2 is freaking awesome, I don't even really like Halo anymore, I'll do the campaigns, but not on-line multi-player. Once I finish a campaign, I'm done.

I do want some type of control on this stuff. But my prediction is, based on the money Tobacco and Pharma have at risk and can throw at every level of government and supposed "experts", is that we are in trouble. The major problem is this is not an industry that has big players. We would either need a really good grass roots movement to educate and coerce, or we need something big to step in and produce a positive study. AMA, a big journal, Cancer Society, Lung Assoc., something. Many consider this just another vice or even smoking, and no one is looking out for smokers, many people actually kind of despise them.

I gave up on the PC, XBOX 360 only and pretty much only the Call of Duty franchise.

I always tell people when they ask if I got my sense of taste back (which is really smell) it goes both ways, good and bad odors. Essshhhh.

Sorry to hear that. I switched back to the 510 from the Janty Stick (801) because the attys were so inconsistent. Had to switch to the 510s I had sitting around for my wife when my 801 attys just seemed clogged. JS sits in my computer bag for some reason, unused for quite a while, it is retired unless I find someone who wants it.

Me either, I kind of find that weird as it's all I thought about when trying other ways to quit. Can't say it enough, take care of both addictions with a safer alternative, and all that's left is habit. I think Christopher is on to something, must be a physical thing with the brain for Brian. Brian, brain, Brain, brian...whoa dude...sorry, got sidetracked there for a minute.
