Thanks guys. I imagined being older than 44 (45 in 2 weeks) when this happened but I have come to terms with it over the last 9 months lol. It was neither planned nor expected but such is life.

Tomorrow, I become a first time Grandfather (did I just say that?) LOL. My daughter is being induced tomorrow morning and my grandson Colson should make his debut appearance bu mid-late afternoon!

I never notice a difference between when I am outside all day in 95 degree temps during the summer vs being in the woods all day in the teens and 20 degree range. Non scientific study I know lol
-
I only use 18mg with 1.8 ohm at 3.8v but most subohmers seem to use a lot lower nic. The physics make sense the volume of vapor you intake increases so will the amount of nic ingested.

A good fresh batch of watercress is hard to beat in a salad! -
Have you Made the Switch AND Cut to Zero?
bcartervol98 replied to JohnnyFog's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Thats all I noticed when I dropped from 24mg to 18mg, that I vaped about 1ml more per day and still do. I just get my "fix" from 18mg and am good there. The wife still uses 24mg with no thoughts or ideas of dropping down lol. -

It's just cold right now and it sucks haha. Picking up my son from Swim Team practice and sitting in my car watching it snow. -

Yea I enjoy my freedoms especially when it comes to firearms. What I do not enjoy is that it seems like a choice between freedom surrounded by bigotry or lack of freedom in a more "enlightened" area. I live in a college town where UT is located so it's a good mix here of perspectives. -

One mans trash is another mans afternoon snack lol. I will eat anything once. I would try Balut if given the chance to say I did but it DOES NOT look appetizing. -

I mean no offense but California and I are not very compatible haha. If I ever move anywhere it will be farther south. I am split and torn a little though. Its not political even though I am the most liberal conservative independent you will ever meet. Do you know anyone else with an ACLU card AND a NRA card in the same wallet? LOL In all reality its about cost of living for me too. I have a 3000 sq ft house on a Cul De Sac with no HOA and a little over a acre that I paid $148k for back in 2006. I can get 4k sq ft on the water for under $500k here. I think if I ever move it will be extreme southern Alabama, North Florida or most likely somewhere on the NC, SC or GA coast. Not a LOT warmer but I love those areas so much. -

Yea eff that. I am NOT a winter person haha. We become hermits. Of course where I live school gets cancelled because of cold temperatures and 2-3 inches of snow shuts the city down. Anything 6" or more will get me out of work for probably 3 days at least. I someday will live where there is never a threat of snow like ever and the 50s will be considered very cold hah. -
Just Realized I'm 30+ Days Without A Cigarette!

Congrats! Before you know it the days are being counted as weeks, then months, then years....... -
Definitely just joking around about the car analogy since I have ran an auto group for 10 years...just ironic lol.
-
All set on vape gear but I miss the days when I looked forward to tax time :-(
-
Not really since I buy from myself and know what I like but point taken lol. My wife is on her 6th Denali since 2005 and I just buy whatever truck-SUV that has the best deal at the time.

I love good oysters any way they come lol. Lightly steamed is probably my favorite simple way but I never turn down Oysters Rockefeller on any menu! -
BOOM exactly how I feel. If I cannot plug it in and have it work then I do not want it. Its why I drive new cars under warranty and take the "simple but effective" route whenever I get a chance. Vaping has evolved from a smoking cessation technique to a hobby to an all out obsession for so many lol. I just want to not smoke cigarettes in the simplest way possible.

You may be my brother from another mother! I am ready for spring to go get a sack full of frog legs! I am an animal lover, I absolutely LOVE the way they taste when properly prepared haha. -
Yea that is the catch 22. I want 0 throat hit but use at least 18mg liquid. To add Pg would add throat hit and a taste I cannot stand especially at the nic level I use and have used for close to 2 years with 0 thoughts on dropping down. My wife is the exact opposite and has used 24mg 80pv 20vg since day 1. Endless Summer from Fuzion, 1.8ohm, Davide with KPT single coil at 3.8v mmmmmmn
-
Not only that but the liquid I use, and I mainly vape one flavor has probably been 6 months or more since I had more than a pull or two of anything else, produces an insane amount of vapor because the only PG in there is from the flavorings. I have gotten to where I can taste PG in liquids now and do not like it very much. Comp has been trying to clone my ADV for about 2 months and has not figured it out yet. I just hate the huge clouds it produces and at times I just hold it in a long time to reduce the vapor lol.
-
I agree totally. My comment came more from I just do not have or take time to read anymore. Never really enjoyed reading but used to work menial jobs with a lot of down time so I read to pass the time. I read a lot in college but now I work, boat, lead a scout pack,hunt and stay so busy I have to pencil in a meal muchless reading. Not only that I prefer movies so not reading the book does not ruin the movie for me lol.

It shouldn't make sense to anyone because it is the polar opposite of the correct advice. If you want a cooler vape increase the resistance. I am a "find what works and stick with it" guy and only use 1.8ohm KPT single coils in the new Aspire Davide tank on top of Spinner 2s. They have been set at 3.8v since the day I got my first one and that is what works for me. Moral of the story is a small change in resistance can be huge. Last week my coil started tasting funky and the only spares I had in my office at work were some old 2.2ohms I had when I first started vaping. I put one in and could barely taste the liquid, seemed to get no vapor so I swapped it out for another thinking I had a bad coil and the same thing happened. Switched back to 1.8 at home and bang back to normal lol. I brought a box of 1.8s to work so that never happens again.

Ok it not weird to me but then again my wife and I watch those "Crazy Food Shows" and when they are in the south we are always like "Whats weird about that?" I grew up regularly eating all sorts of wild game including squirrels, rabbit, deer, dove, quail, groundhog, raccoon and others I am sure. We fished a lot and ate fish, turtle and crawfish a lot too. We regularly ate chitlins and Mountain Oysters. I learned at an early age the most tasty part of a squirrel is the brain and tongue and we cooked the squirrel heads in the stew when we cooked squirrel stew. Chicken hearts, livers and gizzards were also a huge item we ate growing up. With that said, I grew up on a farm and have gotten a bit "citified" lol. We still eat game as my son and I are big hunters and fishermen but have found lately other than wild game about as crazy as we get is Escargot at the Country Club we belong to and I never miss a chance at good Calamari (Not the rings mass produced but the real Calamari with tentacles) when it is available. I will try about anything once, most things twice!
