I must admit, earthings video explains a awful lot!!!!

I love this end of the world conversations...I hope is Zombies... please let it be Zombies..but the slow ones, not the fast ones, I'm to old to run all day.

The stock market is shut down due to "technical" difficulties, China's stock market is in free fall, American Airlines shut down due to "technical" difficulties,Greece is on the verge of collapse..... better get your go bag stocked and ready.

This is a fascinating subject.  I personally have only had one continued experience which is similar to TugBoat. After my grandparents passed away my dad wanted me to close my business and move home (it was just a satellite of his aerial spraying business about an hour away).  I didn't have anywhere to live so we did some remodeling in my grandparents house and moved in.  It had been empty for about a year.  We painted, tiled, carpeted, etc.  We brought the house from the 60's up to the 80's (in the 2000's...lol).  Our bedroom is my grandparents room.  At least once a week you can smell the smell of "Holly Berry" air freshener in that room only.  My grandmother sprayed it all the time.  It is really strange.  My wife really doesn't like the smell, but it is comforting to me.  I think the only reason I feel it is supernatural, is that room has had new drywall, insulation, carpet, texture, paint, furniture, etc.  The master bath had a leak in the shower and it caused a musty smell, we redid the bathroom, before we moved in and never found a stopping point, so we redid the entire bedroom.  We redid the ceiling and added new insulation and even the duct work had been upgraded in the HVAC.  I am generally lean to the skeptical side, but it has defiantly made me more receptive.

I can't explain the door, but this might explain the disappearance / reappearance of items

As much as I hate our politics, it can always be worse. At least I don't live in the Middle East, or Russia, or China...... At least we can bash our candidates openly

Clouds of vapor will always be seen as clouds of smoke.  for me personally i vape where ever i want.....out in the open when available and permitted....super ninja when not. People standing or sitting next to me have no idea. 
However, standing in line at Disneyland, the person behind me couldn't figure out why they kept smelling pancakes(maple syrup) 🙀. 

That's completely subjective and you're likely to get several different responses.
Technically, I would say the "healthiest" wattage would be zero watts...as in not vaping at all (while also not smoking).
Different liquid flavors, different PG/VG blends, different nic levels, different coils...all are going to have some effect on the wattage. Personally, I usually vape between 3.8 and 4.2 volts on my regulated devices.  That is usually determined by the particular liquid I'm using.  Some I like a little cooler, some I like a little warmer. The wattage ends up varying a great deal for me based on which tank or RDA I'm using and the coils in those tanks or RDA's.  I use anything from .15 ohm coils in my RDA's to 1.2 ohm coils in some of my tanks.

My mother passed away too early in her life. Cancer. It was tragic. She was only 54 years old. 
She was a bit of a writer and a story teller. She loved stories about old people. She collected them and retold them all the time. She had a fondness for old people like I'd never seen. It was well known in our family and circles of my mother's fascination and interest with the geriatric set.
I told her a story one time (only slightly embellished, honest) that had her in stitches, and one she would retell throughout her life she got such a kick out of it.  I had a job when I was in college. I used to service fire extinguishers for businesses and my territory was San Francisco.  One day I was in Chinatown working my route.  I would start at one end of the street and work my way down the block visiting each business, inspecting their extinguishers and servicing them if needed. Chinatown is an amazing, densely packed area of shops and restaurants filled with bustling people, lots of activity.  
As I started my route down the street I spotted a little old man who was walking across my path on my way in to the first business. He was around 90, dressed in local color and sporting the customary conical bamboo hat. With hands folded and eyes slightly downcast, he shuffled along in front of me taking the smallest steps humanly possible while I patiently waited for him to pass. I went in to do my business and when I emerged from the store and heading to the next door, there was the old man making his way down the street and I passed him to go in to the next business. 
Well, of course you know what follows. As I emerge from each business I am met with the little old man still making his way down the street , my image of him shuffling along never changing, as we leap frog each other from store to store all morning long
My mom loved that story and it was with her characteristic affection for the aged that she would retell it along with my comical embellishments, for years after. 
At her funeral service, held at the church on the grounds of one of the original California missions and attended by more than 150  family and friends, the priest pauses for a silent prayer.  At that exact moment, a side door slowly opens at the front of the church. An old man shuffles in and without acknowledging anyone or anything, slowly makes his way across the front of the church. He says nothing, looks at no one, doesn't so much as glance at the altar, the priest or a photo display of my mother, and is unphased by the quiet suppressed laughter that starts with my family and begins to spread out to the attendees as he slowly makes his way to the other side and exits as quietly as he came.  No one knows, who he was, where he came from or where he went. 

I fully believe in the supernatural but my only experience personally that was not hallucinogenic in nature (college lol) ended up being a possum in the attic.

Shortly after my grandfather passed,I was alone in my house and I all of sudden got a scent of his cologne (Stetson) which I don't wear or anyone else in my house.And I faintly heard him say "Hello" but I was not scared at all.I think it was him saying Hello one last time.😔

I've dealt with plenty of strange occurrences...
A month after my grandfather passed in the late 80's, I was visiting my grandmother, and I slept in my grandfather's room (yeah, they were the couple that had separate bedrooms, but after 11 kids, it was probably a good idea, lol).  Grandma told me to pay attention to the bedroom door, because it would lock, and grandpa wouldn't like it.  About 2am, I was woken-up to the sound of the bedroom door being rattled off the hinges.  I thought it was my little brother being a little brother, but when I grabbed the door handle to open the door, I got a heck of a shock and felt the vibration... opened the door, and nobody was there (or even awake elsewhere in the house).  My wife (then fiance) spent the night in that same room a couple of years later and she was awakened the exact same way (also about 2am).  She also said there was a strange glow in the attached bathroom just before daybreak (same night), and the sound of running water.  When she went into the bathroom, thinking the toilet was running, but found a little steam on the mirror from running hot water (which was now off), and grandpa's razor was wet on the side of the sink   Also, nobody that sleeps in that room can stay on the side of the bed closest to the bathroom... you may start on that side of the bed, but you wake-up on the other side, even if there are two of you in the bed... both of you will be on the far-half when you wake up... apparently grandpa doesn't like anyone sleeping on his side?

The last house I lived in gave me the creeps. It was a fairly recent built home and we were the second owners. The first couple were elderly and both had passed within a few months of each other. Not sure if they passed in the home or not. I was living downstairs and only stayed there for a few months. I had the worst night terrors while there. I would wake up and start yelling at the dark shadow to leave me alone. It would hover in the door way. My cat was always on edge and would let out a nasty hiss for no reason.

Back to a little bit of a serious thing lol. I live in Tennessee which did not vote for Bill Clinton in either of his terms nor Al Gore who is from Tennessee in his (arguable) loss. All you need here to get elected is an R by your name. We have elected state senators and house members with extensive criminal records because they were the "republican" on the ballot. Its so sad.
In reality when it comes to national elections and ESPECIALLY the POTUS I am hemmed in. I am a very conservative fiscal person BUT very progressive socially. I want someone who will represent me and that does not occur on the GOP or DEM tickets. I have made a vow to myself to never again vote for anyone with a R or a D by their name for national office. I wish it could become a movement.
Politics in our nation has become a sport with people cheering on their team but about as much usable policy has come out of DC in the last 12-16 years as has come out of the NFL.
What we need is a strong libertarian leaning independent that can identify with the 60%+ of the country that do not affiliate with either party and are "democrat leaning" independents or "GOP leaning independents" but in reality we are looking for something different.
Again in Tennessee it makes 0 difference who I vote for in the Presidential election so I will probably just fish that day.

Considering we have about 20 candidates so far... I'm sure Mickey will be on the ballot somewhere!

lol...not necessarily. I was in a B&M the other day trying some juices, fired my mod to burn off some juice, then promptly put the cap back on, fired and took a hit :lol:

I get dry hits when I read VT and forget to fill my tank.

Its amazing all the new things that can be learned 👾

Dripping fixes that danger!!

I honestly a bit stupid with it...I have both options available, but I rather endure the nasty dry hits because I like the looks of the Stainless tank better..a bit sadomasochistic.
 
 

I cleaned and re-wicked all of my RTA's last night, and only filled my authentic Russians (with my ADV) so they'd be ready to go this morning.  This morning, I reached into my tank rack for a fresh tank, popped it onto my IPV, and took a hit... OMG.. (is someone burning feathers?)... Horrible... worst dry-hit in my life...
When I looked down at the smoking mess in my hand, I realized, I grabbed the wrong tank... I grabbed one of  the clones I had re-wicked last night (the ones NOT filled)! 
I just took a 1.2 Ohm / 14W drag of pure, DRY, Organic Japanese Cotton!!
Moral of the story... don't grab tanks in a dimly-lit room... you might just get an empty one (and now you have to clean it, re-coi, and re-wick... after you stop choking to death)!  

My best vaping place was riding the ski lift with my son this past winter. He was blowing clouds with his latest mech mod & RDA. Me with an IPV mini and Atlantis. Fresh powder with more coming down. And I was able to get oxygen at 11,000 feet without huffing & puffing. And no more trying to light a cig in the wind or taking off gloves to get my nicotine.

If you see a ad/spam that is not appropriate use the "Report Post" link. The admins here are quick to bring down the hammer on them. I'm grandfathered in because I was member long before I became a supplier. That don't mean I get to post spam or promote my site freely anywhere on the board though. I can loose that privilege very quickly if I were to do that. It is fine line that I'm willing to walk and it is hard sometimes. I'm a member first and a supplier second. Most of the spam I see are from new suppliers that don't register as a supplier. Once registered, they are restricted to where they can post.

I'm not referring to e-liquids, per se.  I'm referring to any unsolicited "try this new gadget" or "we sell this item which will work for you" posts when the general topic is related to something entirely different or they are starting their own topic to advertise an item.  There is a very specific set of guidelines for suppliers that states they are supposed to post their items for sale in the "Supplier Classified" area or in their own private sub-forum.

Today I learned that the +side of a battery  looks different than the - side  Now I aint gotta fumble the battery around  looking for that little +- sign
