E-Cig....Day 7
A few low level instability episodes, but no bodies to dispose of.
My propensity for bubble-popping candor has been somewhat elevated, and it drifts between impishly teetering the ever plentiful self-made glass pedestals you encounter in this place, to right out leg-erasing machete realism, the latter of which I simply make myself scarce and immerse into chores or alt activities. My apologies in retro and advance for that.
The product itself seems to do what it says. Its an effective mindtrick, the highlight of which I think is it gives you the satisfaction of breathing out something that actually resembles and tastes like smoke, but in fact is not. Plus it pacifies the hand fixation also.
I thought the true test of its effectiveness would be after a meal, or a vigorous fap, but actually its managed to do the trick, all except for when you put it beside a robust cup of morning coffee. Thats when I hear the little engine room inside this thing going to all battelstations red alert....."We've diverted all power to the aft vaporizer capn!!, she cant hold this velocity for very long, she'll fly apart!!!!".....fly apart then I say.
I feel tho, like I should have won some prize for being the engineering geek that immediately guessed what the "marketing cul de sac" would be. Seconds after I opened it, I said to myself this is an off-the-chart thread pitch, meaning no other brand product is going to screw onto this thing, because they created a non-standard proprietary thread. It cost me 10 bucks to confirm, by purchasing a generic cartridge at a local smoke shop, but I was in fact absolutely correct.
Theres really not that much in way of savings actually, 10 cartridges for $80 equaling 20 packs/400 cigs/2 cartons, equating to $40 a carton or $4 a pack...1 buck or 2 savings per pack.
What youre gaining here is just what they said, the absense of the 500+ chems used to process tobacco/paper, no ashtrays, no stinky hands/clothes, no mushroom cloud when you cinch the trashbag closed to take out. No going outside in the freezing cold to keep from painting the walls with mollases.
I'd say no more sneers from the smoke-free crew, but actually they'll still lipcurl at you like youre suckin a crack stem, but just to make themselves feel better about tossing another bonbon down their gullet, or pissing away 80 bucks on efame in the bowels of interwebs.
Nevertheless, one week, and holding. Have to say Im surprised.
Took a phone call before getting in my car today, hung up & placed back in my belt holster. When I stopped at the store, pulled it out to find I had a lil mishap.
Now I dont recall any impact that drew my concern, so best I can figure is it got pinched between the seat belt dock and the rivet on my jeans pocket when I sat down, as that kind of lined up with the point of impact on the phone, albiet in the case at the time. Figured I'd throw that out there as a "watch out for".
I had elected the insurance when I bought the phone, bout 7 dollars a month, so I called the Sprint store which directed me to the repair facility (didnt bother with their customer sevice line because I knew I'd get Maylaysia).
Andrew at the repair shop said to come on down, that he had a display in stock. Was a small que ahead of me when I got there, but once it was my turn, he whipped thru it like a champ, and I was like new in 20 mins, with a new speaker to boot. As per usual, got a survey call to rate the service, but they relayed to me that they did not have an "Andrew kicks ass" selection on the survey, so they would make note.
