Logic And Laws Don't Always Mix?
TeriJo replied to TeriJo's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
Actually what happens is it doesn't get enforced. LOL Down on the strip are the bars, some smoking, some non, and the sidewalks are filled with people smoking, and police ignoring it, because, there IS NO 50 feet away from the buildings. Except on that gorgeous white line -
Yuh huh. Most of my friends have figured out I don't read email jokes if I see headers. LOL I'm an evil woman, and I admit it. But it does mean that I don't get many of those anymore! Love subject lines like "YOU GOTTA READ THIS" Is that an ORDER? Um, I not IN the military anymore neeener neeener LOL

Yes having the first few lines thing is fine, it does that in plain text, unlike the preview pane. I actually use Mailwasher. It views everything on the mail server, and I can delete the spam before it ever hits Outlook. You can have a preview pane up in Mailwasher if you want because it is always plain text. You won't see any pretty fonts until you bring the mail into Outlook. The danger, of course, is that you can delete messages you didn't want to delete. So you DO have to pay attention LOL

As you give up the analogs, you notice other things too. You smell better, your car smells better. Aside from health advantages, there are these. You don't burn a hole in your polyester shirt if you drop your ecig. You don't have to find the right angle in the wind to light your Ecig The wind won't blow your hair into your ecig and singe your hair either No ashes or smoke blowing back at you when the wind changes. Smoke in your eyes HURTS lol. I've gotten vape in my eyes too, but it stings like half a second. And an ash in your eye....OW. No loose tobacco in your shirt pocket or purse, or wherever you normally carry your cigarettes. Although I suppose you could get ejuice everywhere if something leaks. I dropped my ecig on the floor of the car the other day. Next to the door where I just plain couldn't get it. And it dawned on me. I didn't have to scream OMG find a place to pull over. There was no danger of my habit burning up the car. I grant you I wanted it. I didn't like it down there on the floor where I couldn't vape it, but there was no DANGER in it being there. When we got to where we were going I just opened the door and picked it up. So, can you tell I rather like vaping? You can? Wow, I thought I hid it better!

Other than the irritating VIAGRA and all, there are very dangerous SPAMs that people fall for constantly. PAYPAL spoof messages are close to #1. PAYPAL is never going to tell you that you have to go to (insert link here) and verify your information. If you are concerned....go to your paypal account the usual way and look at the resolution center. If there are any problems it will tell you never fear. Most people already know this, but I figured I'd throw it at you. Lately there are the Your UPS SHIPMENT yada yada can't send because we don't have valid info.... again, don't click any links and do NOT fill out any forms. Banks are another one. It's pretty easy for me, I have 5 email accounts for my business. If I get the same email to all 5 accounts, it's pretty darn obvious it's not valid. The safe thing is ALWAYS go to the source, if you think it might be real. Don't call a number in an email, look up the actual number or go to the actual web-site. I can put anything I want as a link, and most people don't know that. For those of you that use Outlook or Outlook Express... turn OFF the preview pane. The preview pane in the INBOX is the stupidest stunt I've ever seen, and it's the default. As soon as you right click a message to delete it, because of the preview pane, you have READ it. If it's got an HTML or JAVA virus in it, you just got it. Normally your antivirus tells you right away, and blocks it, but if there's no preview pane you don't have to worry. The preview pane is great if you save messages in sub folders UNDER the inbox, it makes finding that message you need to find from the boss easier. But don't use it in the INBOX. We also get forwards from our friends. "OMG this Virus will eat your machine and smash your monitor. It's TRUE I saw it on GOOD MORNING AMERICA" I got one the other day, virus scare thing and in the original it said "this is true I checked it on SNOPES." Well, I check anyway, and 95% of the time it's a hoax. I adore snopes. Then I send the link to the poor terrified soul who sent it to me. MICROSOFT also is not going to give you money for cluttering up the Internet with a zillion forwards of a particular e-mail message. Neither will anyone else. Just HOW are they going to track that? Uh oh I'm ranting again. Before I shut up, I should add that when you forward messages, you should delete the header of the message you are forwarding before sending it on. Some of those jokes are hilarious, but if I have to scroll thru 300 headers of people who forwarded it, I'm gonna be waaaaaay too irritated to laugh by the time I get to the joke. Stepping down from the soapbox. For Now. LOL

It's going to get better too. I'm amazed at how much better I felt, because other than the cough, I didn't KNOW I felt so unhealthy. I was too used to it.
-
Oh I know. I'm bad the opposite way. Some folks run to the doctor at the first sniffle, I won't go unless I'm pretty sure I'll die otherwise, or in intense pain that means I can't accomplish anything. Needless to say, I'm bad. And I was that way before you couldn't smoke in the doctor's office LOL. Though with my kids I took them for the regular checkups and immunizations, and assorted injuries (though thankfully they were few) - but I'd have questioned any drugs they wanted to give them. I question darn near everything. LOL I just didn't want to do drugs to quit smoking. The side effects read way worse than withdrawal from nicotine LOL. Once I knew my cough was smoker's cough I tried several times (more seriously than previous attempts) to quit, but ecigs are working. I'm not fighting with depression, or rashes or any other side effects, and watching my body heal itself after all I've put it through. And some of the healing I never knew was connected to smoking....like the RLS. I'm sure non smokers get it, don't get me wrong, I just know that getting off the tobacco (mostly) - I've not had an episode in 2 months out of the 3 I've been vaping. .... on and on I go lmao shupping now

That baby is sittin in the oven saying stuff like. "okay not pacing enough yet." LOL My first was only 3 days after the due date. The 2nd, my doctor just circled the whole month LOL. He said, "This way you stress less" Silly doctor. LOL I remember the excitement (and a little bit o' fear) of awaiting the first bundle. Your life is about to change totally, and yet, by the time you get over that first "OMG this child is PERFECT" period, the changes seem normal. It's true. By the time you are showing pictures of your 3 month old baby, it all seems like it is just as it should be. And, of course, it IS. haha
-
I've only hit 3 months, so ya know... still nooobie. LOL But even I've noticed that the mods are prettier than the older ones. The screwdriver folks rave about must work like a dream, but the newer stuff is downright pretty. The Ego, The Vypr, The Spade, all nice looking. The innards are probably more sophisticated and all as well, but I'm just saying they are beginning to look like things you like to show off. And BIG CONGRATS DD!!!!!!!

Welcome!!!!!!!! VG stands for VEGETABLE Glycerine. "Vegetable Glycerine (food grade) Vegetable Glycerine is a sweet substance typically obtained from palm orcoconut oils. It is an alternative to alcohol for preserving herbal tinctures." (I googled) so you want something that says FOOD GRADE or EDIBLE or something I think. I'm sure the REAL experts will be along soon though. I haven't tasted mine, so I don't know if it's sweet. I didn't even think about tasting it go figure LOL

There are some interesting things in Tennessee. They passed a law last year, or maybe even the year before, that you cannot smoke within 50 feet of a public building. Now first of all, for most places in cities, that means bzzzzzzzzzt nowhere. Unless you want to smoke on the pretty white line in the street. DOH. Walmart, there's room you can smoke in the parking lot, but they have the ashtray right at the door still. DOH. I always thought it was stupid to put ashtrays right at the door anyway. Where is the ONE place outside smokers and non smokers are bound to be at? The DOOR dummies. I was what you would call a considerate smoker. My butts never wound up on the ground. I had a ziplock bag I carried. If there was no ashtray I'd put it out on the ground, make sure it was out, seal it in the baggie. But considerate anything is a rare breed these days. This is why you find trash and butts RIGHT NEXT to public trash cans and ashtrays. I never got that. How hard is it to actually HIT the trashcan? There's no electrical thing gonna zap you if you get the garbage IN the can, or the butt IN the ashtray. But what do I know, I'm a vaper now.

WELCOME. The experts got yer questions taken care of I vape more than I smoked, that's all I know. I'm afraid if I go and start counting I'll just vape MORE. I have an Ego and I love it. The battery lasts much longer than my 901s and I believe they have about the same battery life as the 510s. I had the problem of not being able to keep up with my vaping rate with the regular if I got stressed and "serial vaped" so I know just what you mean!

Well I've always had a box of kleenex at my desk, because I was coughing a lot all the time and stuffy nose, and other OMG I GOTTA QUIT SMOKING things. Now it gets used for cleaning up atties and stuff. So I'm not saving on the kleenex, but my lungs are way thrilled! So long story short (what do you MEAN "too late" ?) you are not the only one.

You know everything is dangerous to SOMEONE. Peanuts KILL PEOPLE. Just not most of us. The main problem today with keeping things away from kids is parenting, or lack thereof. I know I shouldn't say this, but it is true. A minor can get all the parts to build anything they want, including bombs. If I went into my son's or daughter's room and found wires and doodads, I'd be asking questions like "whatcha dooon?" LMAO My kids weren't allowed to have computers or tvs in their rooms growing up. Of course I can't protect them from EVERYTHING no matter what unless I chained them in a pen somewhere.....well, that wouldn't work either, ya gotta sleep sometime LOL I oouldn't protect them from EVERYTHING but I could monitor their internet usage. The family computer was in the living room and they knew Mom or Dad could look over their shoulder at any time. The internet filters were a joke, and as far as I know they still are - we just paid attention. My son did hit a naughty site ONCE. We caught him, because we checked history. We explained that nekkid women aside (rather *I* did since that would be the most effective) those sites have more malware attached then nearly anywhere else you could go on the net and if he made me format my machine he was lookin at big trouble. LOL TV, same thing. We didn't have any naughty channels, but we had satellite. So we pulled the card when we weren't home. The card didn't go back in the receiver until we saw that homework was done. (my son missed a LOT of shows lol) Now I didn't go rifling through their drawers or anything, but I also didn't make it easy for them, is all I'm saying. Maybe I was overprotective, I dunno. I do know neither of them is sharpening their bloody axes in prison hehe. I don't know why they think banning something works anyway. Hasn't worked on anything else - look at all the drugs our kids can get. Bad or not, they can get it if they want it badly enough. None of us wants our child, or anyone else's vaping OR smoking. OR drinking booze OR OR OR. It is ridiculous that anyone thinks we do. I should be careful what I say, that beginning statement up there....they might take away our peanuts. How bad would a peanut butter and jelly sandwich SUCK without peanut butter? LOL

OOOOOh that doesn't sound fun at all!!! I don't drip, I cart, so it might be a little different for me I don't know. (burnt taste on atty anyway) But I think I may wait and see what develops. Meanwhile I talk way to much... MEGAPOSTER in 3 months. Gawd.
-
Hiya Peach.... Ditto what Jeff said. To help, we need to know if you are looking for a device or already have one, what issues you are experiencing if you are already vaping... etc....etc...

I had put that up on my FB page, and of course the hubby watched. I swear to you he got through the first minute, and said HUH? LOL and had to start it over. See what multitasking can do to you? LOL Once he actually WATCHED it, he loved it. Meanwhile I was watching a show a while back on multitasking. It said basically the folks who think they multitask the best, actually are NOT good at it when you put it all together. The best example was college students who wrote their papers while texting on their phones, surfing, etc. Basically it came down to they wrote great PARAGRAPHS but when you read the whole paper, none of it actually connected well. Interesting eh? Excuse me, I have to go multitask myself into a coma HEHE

Everything I've Read About Cartomizers Is True
TeriJo replied to Brandon's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Very interesting! You know I've been trying to find an adapter to use my 901 attys on my 510 and everywhere I look I find the opposite but not that. LOL I'd scream and stuff, but I gotta sing later... hehe Meanwhile I've obviously not been vaping long enough, because every time one of you says "I get juiced" I picture a very drunk person, usually sayin "I love you man!!!!!" lmao -
Looks like the "old timers" got ya covered, so all I gotta do is say WELCOME!
-
Vodka + Birthday..... Let's just say, I'm glad you don't smoke anymore!!! Hope it was a happy day and happy brain picking too hehe
-
The atty might take a dunking all right, but if juice getting into the battery can cause problems water probably would too. Probably wouldn't FLOAT either so drop in in the SHALLOWS lmao

The "funniest" was a lady who backed into my husband. She was completely oblivious. This was at an interesection. He had people behind him, so of course HE couldn't back up to get away from her. He wound up having to get out of the car and go knock on her window to get her attention. How can you back up at an INTERSECTION without looking behind you, and WORSE not know you hit someone. It was a light hit, true, but it certainly wasn't running into pillows either. At any rate after that, hopefully she paid more attention at least THAT day. The waving at folks thing... when I was a teenager I waved at someone I thought I knew and they chased us thinking I whipped the bird LMAO. My date started to speed, I was like pull over stupid.. getting punched might hurt, but we won't DIE like drivin like a maniac is sure to do to us LOL Anyway, said idiot also pulled over and I read him the riot act in my patented "I'm little but tough" voice. LOL Learned it from my mother who was just shy of 5 feet tall. It worked, but even THEN I thought it was stupid to go chasing after someone even if they HAD whipped said person the bird. But then, I was an odd child.

There is a long list of things that should not be put in the hands of children. Banning them all would be stupid. Start with A... alcohol , and go down the list. It seems like they should SOMEDAY figure out bans don't work. Look at Marijuana, for pity's sake, and that's one of the "SAFER" things. New stuff is scary. I get that. I do. My mother was afraid of the Microwave oven. Not so much that she thought it could kill her but that she'd break it. LOL. By the time she died I don't think she ever turned on the stove. LOL It is obvious to me that the smart method would be to test the stuff and regulate it for safety. But there I go again thinking our (or our kids') SAFETY is the real issue. I should really know better. Big teenage shoulder sigh.

I am picturing your yard with rods sticking up everywhere and signs that say "really, I'm NOT crazy just DRAWN this way... watch your step" That aside, it sounds VERY interesting. More hubby's area than mine. My gray matter managed the potato as a conductor for daughter's elementary science project, but just barely
