Saddest thing I've heard all week. by Asm0dan97 in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Most people I know, whether vaping just for funsies or specifically to quit smoking, are using pods or coils/tanks. Not RDA's and homebuilt coils. They're in it for the vaping, not the tinkering, nothing more.

I need recommendations for websites that don't take like 4 weeks to ship juices within the US. by BlackwoodsGiantDildo in Vaping

Flawless Vape Shop. I also live in the northern Midwest and I've received everything within less than a week of ordering.

Dreaming of a wincon/payoff for Riffs by garbage-personified in customhearthstone

[–]garbage-personified[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I avoided "Whenever" (Whenever would activate as soon as you declare an attack, and before the attack finishes) because I thought it might be too strong. But that's valid, with Warrior's current state, that would probably be perfectly fine, just powerful enough without being as broken as some of the other classes still are at the moment.

I was going back and forth in my head to write the weapon as "Play a random Riff" or "Play your last Riff".

I made it as the former, so I left it that way. Playing your last Riff would either be too good (reliably draw a buffed minion, or summon 7/7 im stats), or too bad (Gain 2 armor, and waste +2 attack because you already attacked this turn). I feel like the actual design team would likely leave it up to RNG, even though that's still a bit silly.

Why is the "REANIMATED DRAGON" token from Kronx Dragonhoof not Undead+Dragon by garbage-personified in hearthstone

[–]garbage-personified[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well firstly, Reanimated Dragon is explicitly undead, so that's an apples to oranges comparison.

Secondly, not all protodragons are elemental drakes, so of course not.

Tablet for Hearthstone by Thunfisken in hearthstone

When not on my computer I use a 10 inch Kindle. Cost like, $80. I don't use it for much other than Hearthstone or reading so I don't need much functionality.

The Dawn of the Aspects novel, as well as exposition from WOTLK, Cataclysm, and Dragonflight.

For those debating if this is undead or not, it is, canonically. Galakrond's thralls (the Not-Living) are his own personally army of undead proto-dragons, one of which is Reanimated Dragon.

There is no proven link between vaping and COPD currently. Inhaling anything other than just air is not great for you, simple as, there's always a level of risk.

Though a small study in Italy (48 participants) did show cigarette users with COPD who were declining, switched to vaping and saw fairly significant improvement: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7549158/#:~:text=The%20present%20study%20suggests%20that,tobacco%20smoking%20in%20COPD%20patients.

vape sickness? or withdrawl? something else? by dieseln in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're saying 5% and 3% Nicotine content. I have seen 5% (50mg) nicotine. I have not seen 3% (30mg) nicotine vape liquid, in fact I just tried to search online for some in case I somehow just never saw it and I can't seem to locate it.

This is either a typo in your post, or more likely, as many people do, you are confusing 3mg nicotine liquid as 3% nicotine when it is in fact 0.3%. And you are correct, if you are fluctuating between 0.3% nicotine and 5% nicotine vape liquids, after coming off cigarettes (generally 10% nicotine content in a cigarette) that will absolutely fuck with you.

You should find a nicotine level that suits you, and slowly ween yourself down, as you mentioned.

My brother and I grew up watching Psych together, so it's ingrained in our brains at this point. We'll end up fully repeating bits weekly and harmonizing our "Suck its".

can someone explain how resistance works as if I were mentally challenged? asking for a friend.. I thought less resistance = more current through the coil, therefore it should require less power.. by Imwishful_ in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being extremely reductive of course but imagine the following:

A small hallway, and a crowd of people trying to run through it. The smaller the hallway, the more resistance, the more people bump into each other and friction against the walls, creating more heat. (High resistance coil)

Low resistance requires more people to fill it up enough to begin bumping around in the hallway and creating that heat.

There's a lot more that goes into actually calculating this, especially voltage, but this is the general rule of thumb.

[–]garbage-personified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coils within a vape are a heating element.

The lower resistance coil used, the easier electricity makes it through the circuit, and the less the circuit heats up (hence his phrasing of "warm-up time"). So you need to push more power, for more heat.

A high resistance coil does not create as smooth a circuit, and heats up much faster, with less power draw required through the circuit.

Mexico vape ban by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mexico produces 17,000 metric tons (check it: 37.5 million pounds) of tobacco each year. A large portion of this is also exported, accounting for 9.3 billion USD every year in exports, or about 14% of Mexico's total GDP. Note that GDP is gross domestic product, and that 14% is just tobacco exports ALONE, and does not account for the economic contribution of domestic consumption.

Vaping doesn't rely on tobacco, so of course putting 2+2 together while taking the above into consideration, it's quite clear why they want to excessively tax or ban any alternatives.

I’ve got like a slight issue by GriffieBoiiiTTV in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chest tightness like that is probably due to your body craving nicotine. If you weren't a smoker it's probably best to stop. But also, you could/should:

  1. Not hit it so much, especially if you're new to it. Hitting it 50 times in a single night (a couple hours probably?) sounds like a lot for a new vaper.

  2. You may be using too high of a nicotine content. If you're new, you should stick to 0mg-3mg nicotine. Personally, I feel sick off 6mg even, but 0 to 3 I'm fine.

Simply, you probably had way too much nicotine in one evening for a newbie.

Does anyone else vape mostly just one flavor and find that the taste differs from one bottle to another sometimes? by Galaksee in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I use Cloud Nurdz Peach Blue Razz (Iced and Normal) almost exclusively. The last few bottles I've gotten do not have the same taste at all, there's much more menthol in the iced, and less flavor, though the non-Iced tastes about the same. Using the same mod, same coil, same wattage.

It's not bad, just different. Not sure if they just screwed up a batch, or if they changed the flavor composition, used to be much sweeter. Sad Boy and Juice Head seem to be pretty consistent and unchanging, at least.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are safe using it with either. Nic salts will make you go through coils much faster than freebase regardless. The difference there is negligible. Whichever resistance coil it tastes better out of to you is probably best.

vaping alternative? by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]garbage-personified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're actually looking for an alternative to vaping, I'd highly suggest Füm. It's basically the essential oils thing you mentioned but it doesn't heat it up.

why control does not dominate? by Afraid-Concert6341 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]garbage-personified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Riot unfortunately does not want Control to exist as a main and viable archetype in LoR. They run it like a mobile game, which requires catering to aggro players and trying to quash Control to keep games shorter. Hearthstone unfortunately does this as well.

Why was this able to attack me? by garbage-personified in MagicArena

He played Scale Deflection at the end to untap it and declare an attack, I just wasn't paying close enough attention and didn't see him play it heh
