I would like to give a big shout-out to @Fillmore2
Thank you for sending the Ghost MV1 units along with a number of accessories.
I still have 2 patients left here in Tucson that are still using the MV1s and this will prolong their Ghost Adventures.
Your units arrived clean and like new.
I appreciate you!

A Card holding patient in an assisted living facility found me, and was seeking a simple Desktop Vaporizer.
He wanted it black and simple so that it would not attract too much attention.
He lives on the same income that I do, meaning that he really could not easily afford a Vaporizer.
He lives too far for me to get to driving, but I wanted to help.
I then I remembered one of my early desktops that is not even listed on my signature.
My Hot Box!
So simple there is not even a temp dial... just an on/off switch.

It is less easy to get than it once was, but it was perfect!
My Hot Box has finally found a home!

This Doctor only has one office, and I have been assured that he will be who I see every month, and only be seen at one office, which is close to home.
He also is an advocate of Medical Marijuana.
They have seen my credentials, and have asked me if I would be willing to come to the clinic once a month on Friday afternoons to talk to Card Holding patients about dangers/risks of combustion, and the benefits of Herbal Vaporization.
I begin on Friday September 13th.
I will be allowed to demonstrate, but not with Marijuana.
I must use peppermint or other plant matter.
The clinic is close to home, and I am very excited to be invited.
Happy Labor Day weekend to all of you!
This news has fallen through.
The 13th date was delayed, and then they gave me the news.
This Doctor while having only one office as I liked has a different opinion
about my care than I do.
So I do not get to demo vapor related tools.
I did find a new Doctor though that does agree with my thoughts on my healthcare.

Finally!!
I had a great day today.
My eyes were very clear, and my coordination was good, and hands moving well.
I finished switching out components and cleaning up (and lubing springs) on a collection of 9 original
Pax Vapes.
I now have 6 perfect Pax 1's that I am ready to place.
A Pax, especially the Flagship model, needs to be well maintained, or they can begin functioning poorly.
What a disappointment unless you keep it clean.
2 of these 6 will go this afternoon to an assisted living facility to 2 card holding patients living in "long term care".
It took me months to gather the confidence to work on these, as it is a patience tester to work so "small".
Excited for the visits, I leave here with Rocket Man in 30 minutes!
Thanks for checking in!

Rocket Man and I completed our trip, and I'm feeling hopeful about the placement... knowing there may be maintenance calls
on these old units.
This gave me pause to reflect on the times when it was MFLB, Vapir NO2, and Iolite that were the main choices for portables.
Vaporization really has come a long way since then!

I want to thank all of you for keeping up with my commitment to my communities Low Income, Chronically/Terminally Ill, Card holding Patients..
It's been over 10 years since I started repaying the debt I feel that I owe the Universe.
Helping others in my financial and medical condition has felt and still feels wonderful.
Finding new patients that fall into the category has become less frequent, and now, I simply speak up when I meet one.
The only new patients that I am meeting recently, come from two local MMJ Doctors.
The referrals are for education, and I still provide vaporizers to them when they decide to change over to vapor.
There are no groups I speak with at this time, but I am willing!
No longer able to easily work on many portables, I still love passing on functioning units.
I still have a few that are designated for this.
I also have a few Reconditioned Vapor Brothers VB1 units with wooden covers from older vapes, that are just as new units, just in re-used shells.
These were donated by @vaporbrothers a while back, and have found many homes here.
I still have 2 Volcanos now being used in the community, that have found their way home to me more than a few times.
I will still accept working units that are out of favor in anyone's rotation.
Bit by bit, I have been placing my newer personal Vapes in the classifieds, to cover life's expenses.
I thought I had travel expenses covered, but my free rides ran out, and gasoline price went up!😢
The bottom line is I am still on call to help maintain Vaporizers of of all of the patients that need it.
I can't repair as I did previously, as dexterity diminishes somewhat.
My activities with new Patients has not stopped but is less intense.
I worked myself into a less active roll in our community.
This is positive.
I saturated my communities vaporizer needs!
I guess that was my goal.
I'll let you know of any inspiring Patients that I am fortunate enough to meet, and of any new updates!
Thank you for reading!

It's time to give @Sparkpug a big thanks.
Getting vapes in such great condition is wonderful.
These are units that are ideal for the disabled patients that I work with.
-A Dynavap with an induction heater and power cables.
-An E-Nano and its power cables and stems.
-A VB 1.5 and all the accessories.
I can't thank you enough. These are ready to go!
I have a prospective home for each tomorrow afternoon!
