I believe you are right.
welcome, spacey.
(damn, another reason to feel homesick)

No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

No problem with bees, which is odd because in my very long, naturally curly haired teenage years I acquired rather a lot in my hair whilst subduing a swarm. Don't mind wasps (my surname is Jasper) and ants fascinate me (amazing creatures).
Centipedes terrify me.

No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

And I think you might just have nailed it there... Perhaps the true question is the formula between juice and device / set-up. 
Why Spotted Dick is better with cotton than silica and why Snake Oil is the reverse.
Or, I hear, why tobacco's are better with steel mesh than silica whereas fruits can't abide steel mesh.  
Or why Vampire Vapes Cherry is better in an Aqua (cotton) or iClear30S than in a Kayfun (cotton) or Protank (roughly matching coil resistance)

And how much external factors (what I had for supper, phase of moon, type of dream my of Labrador snoozing behind me is having, etc.)

Way too many variables, I fear... And thus it's about whatever works in the moment.

I moved pretty rapidly through the Shinyitus path - this is the last 8 months (excluding the first step)

• Aborted VIP kit loaned (9 or 12 month gap)
• Riva 1100 + Carts (a couple of weeks)
• Riva 1100 + T3S (a couple of weeks, carts immediately abandoned)
• Riva 1100 + Protanks
• SVD (gift from UKV chap) and Protanks + Aga T2 (same gift as SVD) + mini Octopus + IGO W4
• SVD + KF3.1 (2nd hand from UKV) + Protanks
• SVD + KF3.1 + Expromizer
• VTR (very brief liason) + iClear 30S + Trident clone
• ChiYou clone + Taifun GT clone + KF3.1 + Expromizer + Aqua clone + Trident clone + mini Octopus + IGO W4 + KFL+ + iClear 30S
• ChiYou clone + Nemesis Copper Clone + Taifun GT clone + KF3.1 + Expromizer + Aqua clone + Trident clone + mini Octopus + IGO W4 + KFL+ + iClear 30S
• ChiYou clone + Nemesis Copper Clone + Taifun GT clone + KF3.1 + Expromizer + Aqua clone + Trident clone + mini Octopus + IGO W4 + KFL+ + iClear 30S + Squape Clone (bad base) + Micro D
• ChiYou clone + Nemesis Copper Clone + Stingray Brass + Taifun GT clone + KF3.1 + Expromizer + Aqua clone x2 + Trident clone + mini Octopus + IGO W4 + KFL+ + iClear 30S + Micro D + Squape Clone (bad base now brilliant with new base)

Everything that's dropped off the list has been given away to deserving causes.

If I look at what I use regularly (i.e. coiled and loaded) it's the three mods (I have two at any one time on my belt) and the KF's, Expromizer and an Aqua, with tridents and IGO W4 on my desk
I'm still trying to train the Taifun to be consistent and not to dump it's load every now and again...

I shifted to mechs once I realised that the regulated mods all pulsed and didn't handle slight mis-matches with dual coils and I made the complete transition very quickly when I realised that a mech in 18650 mode was a little shorter than the SVD in 18350 mode and the batteries appeared to last longer (without dropping below either acceptable or safe voltage). The added bonus is that if I want to take a long slow flavoursome vape, then I don't have to count down to release / press so I can avoid a cut-out....

However, shinyitus is expensive (even if all of the above advanced stuff was clones it would be expensive). I've a couple more dippers on route and am so tempted to get another mod (I'm not all that enamoured with the Copper Nemesis now I've (I think) cross threaded the centre pin (it's really rather stiff) and I've not been able to solve the clicky switch, although magnets are nice).

So... I've a couple more RDAs on their way from the lucky bag shop (Gaia and a Lotus clone) and that will be it until I see what the Orochi mod is like when FyneMods receives and is happy with it.

Now dampyitus has started and soon, hopefully, I can redirect my vaping allowance to vape debit clearance...

So, on a high (hypermania) I bought half a litre of VG, same of PG, quarter of a litre of 72mg nic, more syringes and plastic bottles than you can shake a stick at and some second hand concentrates that are probably out of date.
This was in November and the liquids have been sitting on the to shelf of a dark portion of my garage whilst I've been not so well or splurging on an orgy of coiling and experimentation with genuine and cloned atties and, of course, the realities of life intruded....

Now I feel ready to start (although uncertainties abound)... And I find myself wondering if my negligence with regards to storage means I should junk the base and diluents...

Thoughts?

Chantix / Champix is one of those too good to be true things - it's clearly very good at what it purports to do but hell fire, if there's any latent or diagnosed mental health illness then it's one of those Roulette games showcased in The Deerhunter. 

This is what those wonderful people at NICE have to say about it publications.nice.org.uk/varenicline-for-smoking-cessation-ta123

Read through it and see if you can spot any warnings or considerations relating to mental health, side effects and, oh, as in common knowledge, people being driven to suicide. 
Didn't spot anything? Nope - nor did I. 

What bugs me about it is that it's sometimes prescribed by GP's and Smoking Cessation Services without the above consideration (less so nowadays, after that 2011 articles)....

Makes I sick...
