I'd be sneaking my ecig in for a quick vape, Ledaire.

Hope it all goes well.

I suppose I could get away with it if I close the curtains? Or vape under the covers? Grin

Thanks magimedi.

Allergictoironing · 10/02/2014 20:03

There's always the loos once you're allowed out of bed Ledaire. Won't leave any smoke or smell, so should be safe Wink

Ledaire · 10/02/2014 20:12

They encourage you to be up and about so I'll do that.

I am going to feel so helpless without my phone and purse Sad

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 10/02/2014 20:32

Ledaire, very best of luck for tomorrow, I hope it turns out to be something minor. I'll be thinking of you Flowers x

(I'd be vaping in the loos)

FlockOfTwats · 10/02/2014 20:33

Ledaire I took mine in to hospital twice. Once for my daughters op, i used it outside (i needed an excuse to do something while waiting) and in the parents room. Staff never said anything.

And when i had DC3 I went into the toilets to use it. DP got told off for using his in the delivery room though lol, i did think he was pushing his luck even though it was a very large room and he wasn't near anyone.

KatieScarlett2833 · 10/02/2014 20:34

Yes, sorry, good luck Ledaire Confused
(I would def vape in the loos)

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 10/02/2014 20:38

Well done Katie, Perihelion and Noodle Flowers

Chocolate bacon? Shock That's even wrong as food! I've seen people on youtube retching on just bacon. Crab is also good for a laugh. I find the whole flavour thing intriguing. I've never tried any, but from what I have seen, savoury flavours just don't work at all for vaping.

Ledaire · 10/02/2014 20:43

Op is on Wednesday. Thanks for the good wishes Smile

I once set off the alarms trying to have a crafty fag in a theatre loo when in charge of schoolchildren Blush

Cantabile · 10/02/2014 20:45

Good luck, Ledaire. I'd be stealth vaping.......

Well done, New Vapers!

Bacon flavour on its own sounds bad enough, but mixed with chocolate?

Speaking of which, any takers for my unwanted 18mg chocolate?

QueenStromba · 10/02/2014 22:28

I was going to PM you to see if you were ok Ledaire. As you can see we're all here for you. You should definitely get away with vaping under the covers.

Jux · 10/02/2014 22:36

OK, the chocolate has been bagsed!

QueenStromba · 10/02/2014 22:42

Since we're giving away unwanted juices - if anyone thinks they'd like florally/perfumy tasting papaya or guava I've got 30ml 13% 50:50 of each going begging.

Ledaire · 10/02/2014 22:43

Queen Smile thank you so much.

It is really nice to have so many good wishes. I won't be able to speak or even whisper after the biopsy for a week or two and it's half term next week! My little DS is autistic and finding it hard to understand and DD is a teen so I can imagine a lot of this:

DD: Mummy can I

Me:

DD: Cool! Love you!

Me: Shock

QueenStromba · 10/02/2014 22:46

Maybe you need to kit yourself out with a whiteboard that you can hang around your neck so you can tell her no.

Ledaire · 10/02/2014 22:48

I suspect that I will be spending a lot of time texting Grin

Ledaire · 10/02/2014 22:49

I am also tempted to ask DS' teacher if I can borrow one of the little whiteboards they use in primary.

QueenStromba · 10/02/2014 22:50

At least teens pay attention to their texts :)

Ledaire · 10/02/2014 22:52

So true Grin

QueenStromba · 10/02/2014 23:05

Small white board for the little one and texts for the big one are definitely the most sensible plan.

Ledaire · 11/02/2014 16:53

Well! My new GSH2's have arrived and they are very different to the ones I had from Amazon which were always leaking.

They are smaller, and have the scale set into the plastic rather than printed on. Also, the inner tube is smaller. Can't fit a cotton bud into it.

I am now confused about which ones are fake Confused

I went for colour in the end in the hope of a nice blue or purple but no - red, yellow and grey Sad

QueenStromba · 11/02/2014 17:19

The ones with the scale set into the plastic are the real ones. Pipe cleaners will work for cleaning out the inner tube.

Ledaire · 11/02/2014 17:25

I'll send DH to Hobbycraft tomorrow!

Allergictoironing · 11/02/2014 18:06

Make sure you are trying with mega cheap cotton buds. Decent (e.g. Johnson's) are too fat, but the really crappy cheap ones you get at the pound shop (though there's always 1 or 2 I find a bit fatter than the others). ASDA did a pack of 800 (yes eight HUNDRED) for a quid in their cheapo household basics type section.

Ledaire · 11/02/2014 19:43

Oh - I was buying own brand not mega cheap. Eight hundred for a pound Shock

The new clearos don't leak so far...

I am tempted to write a strongly-worded Amazon review for the fake ones.
