    Getting my early morning Vape on before hitting the powerlines....

    The hardest part about this whole thing is finding something you like and the trial and error getting there...

    I have my mechanicals up in my hotel room.... .23 and .37 ohm wraps on them... Running an igo-w and omega on my nemesis clone...

    But my dependable go to is my provari with a carto tank.... I keep one tank filled and ready and another carto primed.... If anything happens while I'm working it takes me seconds to be vaping again with a quick switch..

    Good luck and Vape on brothers!!

    This is a GREAT topic. Thanks for staring it.

     

    I smoked Camel non-filters for 30 years, quit about 13 years ago.

     

    I tried patches, but I never spent a minute on the patch when I didn't crave a smoke.

     

    Tried the gum -- no way. Probably the biggest scam of the pharmaceutical stop-smoking market.

     

    Tried the lozenges, but after 4-5 days I was consuming FIVE TIMES the amount of nicotine I was inhaling from my beloved Camels.

     

    Finally, I tried Swedish Snus. Google it. Unlike traditional snuff it's extremely safe because it's not cured. Dozens of medical studies show no greater risk of mouth or any other type of cancer than chewing gum. Extremely satisfying because you get the tobacco flavor as well as the nicotine.

     

    I was able to get completely off nicotine in about a year by taking Snus. I still have a few cans in the freezer, which I take to chess tournaments and other events where I'm under a lot of stress. No problem giving it up when the shindig is over.

     

    Snus is the ONLY traditional stop-smoking product that is not a total pharmaceutical industry/FDA scam. From what I've read about e-cigs, they are even better. Big Daddy Hoffman, a Youtube gun guy, used e-cigs to transition from heavy cigarette smoking to nicotine-containing e-cigs to zero dependence on nicotine. He still smokes them, but it's just flavored steam. Congratulations!!

     

    Nicotine is not really bad for you, but ANYTHING is better than inhaling all that shit in cigarettes. ANYTHING.

    In my research I've come across quite a few people that use snus and ecigs together... Something about the full alkaloid of the tobacco plant that is hard to get away from. Glad you were able to quit!

    I'm still curious to this day what snus is like.... May have to try some.

    You're lucky to have all those shops around to try out and buy juices! I've got a dripper too... it's the Phoenix V3. Wrapping the coils and making the silica wicks is easy... and they do give a good taste... but it hits so damn hard and it's too harsh for me... so it's just collecting dust now.

    You will have to lower your nic level big time with a dripper.

    I Vape. 24mg out of my carto.... 6mg out of my dripper. When you can, get a good mellow flavor at a low nic and try it out again.

    I'm getting close to a year on my Vamo V2 and it's still going strong. I'm getting annoyed with different heads though... I bounce around between carto's, clearo's and everything else in between and still can't find something that I'm 100% happy with. I prefer the carto's over anything else. I bought the Protank 2 a few months ago and was really disappointed with it. I was getting a really weird metallic taste out of it. I washed it repeatedly, in water/soap and also soaked with grain alcohol and the thing still had a weird taste. I even changed out the drip tip to an acrylic one, just in case it was a sensitivity to the metal one... but still the same crap. My trusty Texas Tuff Tank carto tanks (with Boge SR cartomizers) still crank out nicely though. Vaping is great, versus smoking cigs... but getting juices and stuff can be a pain in the butt as I don't have any shops I can go to here in my part of NJ, to try out and buy new juices. I travel to Atlanta a few times a year for work (heading down next week again) and I visit a great vape shop/lounge there every time I go... I buy the BEST tobacco juice I've ever tried, there... called Organic VR4 Tobacco. The company is VapeRite and they have a website, if anyone is interested in checking it out. So, I'll be trying lots of juices next week while in Atlanta and will stock up.

    Yea, having over 100 Vape stores in my county is a life saver..... And the prices are good also.

    I'm stuck on carto tanks myself.... I've tried almost everything out there .... But when it comes to price and performance the carto tanks are hard to beat.

    I also keep my dripper handy at home and out on the town..... The best flavor and vapor production you could ever imagine.... But it's pretty involved wrapping and testing coils..

    Also can't very the 2600mah battery that goes for days and is charged with any micro USB not a stupid proprietary charger

     

     

    This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity

    You can't beat that! Lol

    Charging the phone could be a life saver .

    I only grabbed this up because I got a smoking deal from my buddy at my local Vape store. He used it for a few months and sold it to me with the extension cap ($45) provari ($250) 18650 aw battery ($13) and a legacy tank ($25) all for. $120... Too good to pass up.. I love this thing, super reliable... Very well built piece of Americana....

    My vamo still runs strong to this day.... The buttons stick a bit... But a year on a $50 apv is nice. Highly recommended!

    If someone wants to do the leg work up north to get a store front, il handle all the wholesale to the store. My go to store down here wholesales to stores nationwide.

    If I stayed in NJ I would of already had a store ready to open there...... Seeing stores stacked on top of each other down here and still booming...... There needs to be someone up north to take the leap..... I was talking to the store owners here and a 50k loan gets yu fully stocked and operational..... You wil see a return very shortly after you become established..... Food for thought

    There's also a funky quad barreled pistol from 1864....... I'll get some pictures soon.... I wouldn't shoot the thing even if I had to, but its cool.

    As I was clearing all of the firearms and making sure that were all safe and empty ( my grandmother isn't a gun person, and felt better with them un-loaded)

    I came across a few firearms I couldnt understand.... Instead of something bad happening, I figured I would bring them to the range and clear them out... One is a baretta model 100 I think.. No magazine, doesn't even look like the slide moves.... Didn't really want to mess with it too much until I get a little more info on it.

    ...... And let me be the one to say it......

     

    Just by reading your post...... You are already a man he is proud of.......

    Thank you

    And thanks to everyone else.

    71 seemed too young..... And he had plenty of fight still left in him.

    I've been spending the past few days helping my grandmom out with things around the house.

    I'm planning to bring my grandmother, sister and mother to a basic pistol class and get them setup with a few revolvers he had.

    Unfortunately I just lost my grandfather this past Wednesday. He had a short and vicious battle with glioblastoma.

    He retired from NJSP in 94 as a Sargent First Class, and had multiple successful businesses afterwards. I recently moved down to Florida to spend his last few weeks with him and help the family out after his passing.

    My grandmom and I have went through and wrote down all of the info on his firearms just so we knew what was in the house.

    Crap..... The man had a collection I can appreciate.

    I came up with the idea of putting his 38spl colt long barreled revolver along with the leather holster and belt in a shadow box with his trooper hat, A nice little tribute to his career.

    He has quite a few colt revolvers, baretta compacts, smith and Wesson revolvers, and some others.

    I just went through the long gun cabinet and fell in love with one of the guns in it....

    My grandmother is going to hold onto it for me until the family can get together and take care of final arrangements.

    I'm guessing its a M1 carbine, .30cal with a few 30rd magazines. This thing is beautiful and is has US stamps on it. It may have been his fathers from WWII but I'm not sure. Here are a few photos

    The guy loved his gold triggers :)

    You can tell a lot about a man by his gun collection.

    I can only hope to be half the man he was, and it speaks wonders about him as a person for the fact that he made sure his family was taken care of.... Helping my grandmom clean some things in the closet, we found two full boxes of wrapped silver coins 64 and prior.... Each weighing close to 60lbs!!

    Hopefully silver takes a climb again so my grandmother can feel a little more at ease.... Losing health insurance and getting a survivors pension has put the reins on her retirement a tad.

    Yea I'm actually looking at cape coral right now and looking at houses in the 2000sqft+ range with screened pool/lanai and 2car garage for $160. I have a few anchors here still, but they will be cut loose sooner rather than later. It just isn't worth it up here.

    I'm in Cape Coral, love it here.

    If you need me to do any scouting for you let me know.

    it's incredible what even $170k gets you....the big difference is the taxes. I can't wait to move down there too.

    Heck..... When I said 200k I was talking big..

    The houses I'm looking at are 3bdrm 2.5bath 2 car garage with a pool and screened in lanai for $125,000... Taxes run about $1100 a yr and insurance is about $900 a yr... I'm making $7.50 less an hr here and bring home $30 less after taxes....

    Not too shabby

    I am next. A week from tomorrow I am leaving for good and moving into one of the silver haired areas, but hell, still waaaay beter then here.

    Can't wait to set up a trust and get my NFA stamp :)

     

    SOOO excited ;)

    Good luck in your move!!

    Best decision I've made in a long time. Besides being so busy with work...... I've been able to enjoy life as an American.

    I have yet to unpin my stock and give my Ar solme manly hood back........ But I did trade my pinned mags to a buddy for 30's.

    still waiting for the money to go get my ccw...... House hunting right now and want to save every penny I have.... It's incredible what $200,000 will get you down here.....

    It's nice living in paradise... ;)

    Getting Drivers license now, and picking up my EDC gun in a few weeks when I have the funds. Insane amount of guns stores everywhere. The WMA range 10min from me has a bunch if different setups. 50-100yrd rifle 5-25yrd pistol 100-300rifle, skeet, trap, and a few others.... $3 for the day or $6 for the carload. Volunteer RO on site to keep it safe. Awesome spot

    I'm also moving down there at the end of the month. I'll be on the west coast though, Ft. Myers, Cape Coral, Naples area. My buddy in IT was telling me the jobs around Orlando are in need of IT techs. I can't be land locked, and am forced to pay the extra costs of living on the water.

    I know of quite a few people that make out alright maintaining the computers of wealthy older folks. House calls, remote repair, and networking.

    Good luck and maybe we can setup a NJGF hog hunt somewhere.

    I'm guessing if SHTF people wouldn't be worried about the gun laws.

    What if someone took their 12 pump and cut the barrel down and cut the stock into a pistol grip? That seem like a decent close quarters firearm.

    Sawed off shorty and an Ar or mid to long range rifle...

    My only shotgun has a rifled barrel so I would have to find one laying around with a smooth bore.
