Plato Barnes

Post by saw » May 4th, 2015, 9:54 am

my friend the prophet is well respected in the 7-11 nation
before his parking lot testimonials he practices the ancient
ceremonial ritual of loading up on the plastic wrapped comfort
food of the gods, the very essence of creative thought and wisdom

Kit Kat bars, Cheetos, and Jolt Cola to shock his waiting receptors
stimulating what's known as, The Knowledge, creating infinite
enlightenment and oneness with the great father Junkfoodonis
the Explainer, the importer of answers

the local crack dealer tells my friend that he thinks it's unfair
that he can't have a storefront and posted hours of operation
like convenience stores, there's a god damn Quickie Mart
every 3 blocks, it's killing his business, he's tired of the discrimination

as always...my friend had the sweet pearl of wisdom, " now c'mon
if the government allowed that, then all the pimps would insist
on deducting the dry cleaning bills for their mink coats, and pretty soon
the whole fucking economy would spin off it's fucking axis "

nice story
your friend the prophet has a secret,
a sacred belief beyond belief...

there are bodies today that run on a higher
octane than most others, I am one too.

gasoline has more calories than sugar, or
at least it used to before ethanol fuels...

sugar... (C12H22O11)
a molecule composed of 12 atoms of carbon,
22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen,
but it's not about the molecules, it's about belief.

mind over matter (?)

I survive with above average health on a life-long
diet based mainly on sugars and junk foods,
to this day I have never needed any pills for
any disorders, smoked a pack a day since '72,
it won't bother me... KOOLs, if it matters...
many is a word

tho i switched to e-cigs in july 14
what rig ya vapin' on whoaisme? ya got a mod? love those things - been vapin' the past 8 - 9 yrs, don't remember anymore - ain't been back to tobacco since i tried my first device - rig i'm using this morning a Beyond Vapes Beacon mod - straight mechanical - one 18650 high amp batt - topped with a Tobh rebuildable atomizer running a single .4 ohm coil though you can build dual coils on this thing - sweet vape - you into rebuildables? the other rig i run is an eleaf - twin 18650's, full chipset capable of up to 50 watts in .1 watt increments or ten volts in .5 volt increments - top that with an Atlantis tank (version one) with a .5 ohm coil - my current two favorites these days - got a whole boxful of mods around here somewhere that details my journey from cig-a-like devices to mods - it was the mods that helped me out from underneath tobacco - i needed the power they provided to bust a 45 year tobacco habit - i ain't never looked back -

sub-ohming my ass off here this morning - ya know, i don't think tobacco was the thing for me it was the act of smoking that i liked the most - with vaping i get that without the tobacco - i'm sure they will find a downside sooner or later but until they do i will fill the air with vapor 8)

PS - saw, Plato Barnes rocks 8)

hey mingo

please forgive my ignorance but you're speaking a language i do not understand.

i use a v2 e-cig with the prefilled 1.8% nictoine cartridges.

i have been against the liquids because it just seems like too much of a hassle. with the cartridges all i do is screw it in the battery and puff away.

is what you're talking about using the liquids?

people have been telling me to move to the liquids but the cartridges are so easy and i'm not a mechanical/technological guy so it works for me.

i'd still be a tobacco guy if it wasn't so damn expensive. sheesh :roll:

sorry whoaisme - didn't mean to hardcore you - didn't understand what you meant 'bout being against the liquids - i have used them from the start tho there was a time early on when i used pre-filled carts - hell, everybody did there for awhile - i'm a user of rebuildable atomizers, you wrap your own coils for these & make your own wicks - allows you to customize your vape whatever way suits you - the cartridges you are using are filled with the same type of liquids that i buy by the bottle - Heather's Heavenly Vapes & Vermillion River E-liquids are the two vendors i use most - didn't mean to be talkin' lingo at ya :(
