That one with 87k miles? Hows it feel to own a GM product again? I only did it because Seth convinced me. I'll not bear that responsibility, sir. Which truck did you get?

You need to rethink your priorities, bro.

Cool story brah!!!

I didn't take you for a smoker. Not that you have to be a smoker to enjoy vaping, but it seems like most vapers are former smokers. They do also offer 0 nicotine liquids. If you do smoke, I highly suggest you at least give it a good try... not just for your health, but for your family. Just gotta find a good vape place here. The ones k have seen seem shittily made with poor materials. J Well, e-cigs are a Chinese invention and most of them come from China. But there are still well made units coming out of China, I generally prefer the US made models. I am a bit concerned about the fact that the Joyetech is Chinese, but Joyetech did invent the e-cig, and they do make excellent products. But the reality of the situation is that they are generally so inexpensive that they are disposable.

I am pretty obsessive compulsive so I probably shouldn't even try. As of right now, aside from the obvious issues involved in nicotine uptake, there are no apparent side effects. E-liquids contain four ingredients: a PG or VG base, nicotine, water and flavorings. The base, or carrier, holds the nicotine and flavor in suspension so your e-cigarette can produce those nice clouds of smoke-like vapor. Both propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are non-toxic organic compounds and generally considered safe for consumption. In fact, they are widely used as food additives in a variety of commercially available products. - See more at: http://vaperanks.com/propylene-glycol-vs-vegetable-glycerin-e-liquid-whats-the-difference/#sthash.FcY4dJMO.dpuf Would sound more fun if it were mind altering. Well, there are ways... That little bit might be mildly mind altering. That was my first attempt. I also have a nice new piece coming that should be here today... That is my solution. Ironically the first pic contains BHO.

That was not intended as any form of insult, it was just an assumption based on observations.

With a blower, you do not need to mess with the exhaust. With a turbo, it's all about the exhaust. Any deviation from factory will fuck you with CARB whether you pass emissions or not. Ah, how about non-CARB states? Most locales with emissions testing tend to follow CARB guidelines. Usually in the form of a visual inspection.

In which case you might love vaping.

Because of how healthily you eat. It just seems contradictory.

If you do smoke, I highly suggest you at least give it a good try... not just for your health, but for your family. Fuck Blu, dude. I was feeling like I was bound to cigs with my Blu experience. I am so glad I got with friends and started learning and trying real ecigs and AVPs. I struggled with the Blus, but really tried my best to stay off cigs. I could not be happier that I did. My service manager's wife is a heavy smoker, and she tried Blus with no success. She decided to try the G6 based on my recommendation and she dropped from 1.5 packs a day down to 2 or 3 cigs within 4 days (she just received her G6 last Tuesday). I am smoke free for 2 weeks and 2 days, and feel better. FWIW I have had some serious trials, consisting of a night of taste testing a buddy's stout and porter home brews, another night of some kick ass chocolate stouts, and of course, quite a bit of whiskey drinking, and I have been having no issues thus far. I also am glad I went with Halo gear. Their ecig (the G6) is, from what I have tried, the best of the bunch. I smoked lights and found their Turkish Tobacco to be a solid liquid for me. I also tried their Torque and Freedom and they tasted like pipes and cigars to me. I can't recall which was which, though, so I would hate to try to guess and mislead. I was so impressed with the G6 that I decided to try an AVP and had to stick with Halo. The Triton is such a good system that I am now looking at a modest mod system (which, sadly, Halo does not really offer outside of the variable voltage Triton battery which I really dig). I have also tried dripping, which is OK but not really something I think I will do regularly as I prefer the simplicity and flavor of the tank systems right now. So I am really getting into it. I am surprised though that I like many juices that are not true tobacco flavors. In fact, I have a bunch of the Turkish and I am not sure if it will get used. I just knew that I would not be a "flavor" kind of guy, but I definitely am. I can't get enough of Halo's Voodoo. I wish you lived closer, I would love to be able to let you try various methods if it meant getting you off the cigs.

GZ USA was great, but did not last. No doubting their products, but the guy in that ad is clueless. Indeed. They still have a very nice amp with a tube input stage. IIRC it is a gorgeous copper chassis...

I WANT!!!

That's exactly what I have lol I love my joyetech You, sir, are a badass. That is one cool ass pen.

Wow! From vaping to donkey porn...

Awesome man! I'm thinking of "upgrading" soon too. I didn't want to dump too much in at the beginning but now that I know I'm done smoking I'm thinking about it. I have tried a red bull one that is pretty good too. I was a menthol smoker and can't find a tobacco juice that I like which is part of the reason that I failed the first few times that I tried vaping. I have been using cool fusion from freedom smoke daily and I really like it, but I need to find something else for every now and then when I get sick of it. Backwoods Brew makes some nice liquid. They are a bit pricey, but I have tried 4 of them so far and all are great. I am not a menthol guy so I can't help you there, but I tried some of Halo's Kringles Curse today and it was quite menthol like. I was surprised that it wasn't sweeter than it was, as I have heard a few people say they thought it was too sweet.

My boss owns several businesses. One of them is a scooter shop (who is becoming a Triumph dealership as of Jan 1), and they are downstairs of one of our buildings... the one I work in, in fact. I have gotten to know the mechanics down there pretty well as I help them with electrical diag when they get stuck. One of the guys down there saw my vape and he got all excited about it. He is generally very quiet, and even though I have known him since July I think he has uttered 10 words to me. But we got to talking about it. He is a huge vape guy. He brought in several of his pens and a home made pipe he has for vaping. He has several that I really liked (one is a $250 pen), but one that he had was really killer. I think I might pick one up. It's threads are much more common than my Halos, so I can play more with tanks, clears, carts, atomizers, and vaporizers. I stopped at a local vape shop today and bought an adapter for my Triton (the big fucker) to play with, but his Joyetech was badass... It is a variable voltage unit with a digital display. It tells you the voltage, the resistance of the head and recommends a voltage setting based on this measurement, the number of puffs taken, and an estimate of the number of puffs remaining on the charge, and it tracks your usage (which is cool if you want to slow down) and it also has updatable firmware, and you can open the base unit and replace the battery if it goes dead so you don't have to buy an entirely new unit. It is a total fucking badass. At $100 it seems like a steal to me. I may get myself one very soon. He asked what I vape and I told him I was totally new and was still just vaping tobacco. He brought me in a bag of about 40 different e-juices to try, and an atomizer so I can drip them. So I have a shit tone of flavors to play with, and honestly I am surprised at how much I enjoy the different flavors. So far I think that Backwoods Brew's Applewood is one of my favorites. I would never have thought that I would enjoy it. My absolute favorite right now is Halo's Voodoo. It has a unique flavor that tends to change. I also like Vapornine's Rad Bull, which tastes exactly like Red Bull.

Small block? Or did you mean short block? Year and drivetrain info would help. not sure I have ever seen a 2wd Escalade, but I never saw a 2 door Grand Cherokee until last Wednesday. What generation? I never knew about a 2-door Grand Cherokee. 2-door Cherokee XJ, yes... I want to say it was a 95. I never even heard of one. My shop actually specializes in Jeeps (among other things), so we see a ton of them. We are so well known that the local Jeep dealers send us the Jeeps that they can't figure out. We are also the only shop in town that does t-belts on the TD Jeeps. The dealerships bring them to us.

Easily double The front diff assembly has to be removed. It is easy on a lift, but not on your back.

Short, was distracted lol. 4wd for sure to minnesnowtaSmall block? Or did you mean short block? Year and drivetrain info would help. not sure I have ever seen a 2wd Escalade, but I never saw a 2 door Grand Cherokee until last Wednesday. Year? I'll assume a 2010. Short block is around 23.5 hours, long blocks are around 20.5, and complete assembly with transfer of parts is about 15.5. Most shops will tack on a couple hours for clean up and incidentals. Labor estimates (less additional issues that may arise) would be $2270, $2005, and $1560 respectively. Awesome, thanks. Gives me a really good idea of what I'd need to do to make it an upgrade over what I had. We are at $89/hr on domestics FWIW.

Is there any other channels for news? lol Yep, I will admit. We are a Fox news home, my wife has Oreily on every night at 11 if we arent watching shows. I watch FOX News all the time. Local news is so fucking awful I can't bear to watch it. I refuse to watch the liberal laden and ridiculously one sided networks, and Aljazeera is not getting any of my time. I appreciate the approach that almost every debate has a viewpoint from either side, even though the channel is republican biased. While I am not a republican, I do share more of their values than the Dems. Plus 75% of the women on FOX News are pleasant to look at. I tend to agree with Bill most of the time, but I don't like his interview methods. While I appreciate his viewpoint I tend to despise his delivery. While his show is an opinion piece, he should allow others to express their viewpoints on his show if he invites them as a guest.
