So my best vaping friend passed away last night, He got hit by a car and died on impact. He was an awesome friend, he started me out with my vaping, and actually sold me my first mod, and since then has been giving me great pointers on coil building, rda purchases and mod purchases, Since i've gotten into DIY he's been asking for samples of all my juice, and kept hounding me for a kanzi clone. I was working on it and we had plans to meet up sometime this week or next, so he could try all my recipes and for him to get his clone, he spent hundreds on that stupid bottle of kanzi. I'm going to miss him so much. Please move or delete if the mods don't feel this to be right here. But he was so close to getting into the DIY scene, always asking questions about mixing and where i get my concentrates. It's a sad day today, I'm hoping his family will allow me to bury his hammer of god v1, with a bottle of kanzi when it's time for the funeral.

thanks for the chuckles lol. I know this doesn't belong here, but he was a close friend, and I think he would have fit in nicely here, He was sooo close to becoming a DIYer.

Sincere condolences brother. I am sorry that happened to you. Try to focus on the good times, as hard as that likely is.

If you experience grief that you cannot handle, please talk to someone.

Freak accidents are probably my number one fear in life. Not dying alone or losing family; It's the freak accidents that take ones from us, it's the unexpected and unpredictable that pose the most fear and cause anxious worry. For me, at least.

We may be strict on posts but we are still human, so however we can help you let us know; I am sorry for your loss.

They were mine as well, and this just furthers my fear, I like to have a certain amount of control in my life, but to lose a life to something so random isn't right and it scares the heck out of me.

Thanks for the kind words, I think just keeping his family in your prayers, thoughts, energy or whathaveyou would be great.

That, and suicide are mine. I'm 27, and in the past decade, I've lost literally dozens of friends and family to accidents and their own demons. In the past two years alone, I have seen 13 friends from my general age group lose their lives. Going on facebook gives me anxiety anymore, because I know that the next post I read could be the bearer of more bad news. It's getting really, really old.

that's brutal man, I'm sorry for your loses as well, I'm 25 and have only lost the elders in my clan, It wasn't as much of a shocker to hear they passed because they were either 90 or had cancer. To lose someone in my age group is scary, because it could have just as easily been my brother, my sister, even my wife. Accidents are a horrible way to go, so much randomness in it. I thought saying goodbye on his newsfeed was bad enough, now I'm getting notifications about people posting snapchat pics and pictures of him in their display pic. His wife had to ask everyone to stop using him as their picture, she said whenever she got a notification and seen his pic she thought it was him commenting or posting something and it would make her cry even more.

I'm hoping to get a nice 120ml bottle done for him, his funeral is sunday I believe, I have another HOG v1 I can bury for him, He was an avid vaper, and really loved his mods and ejuice, His next mod was going to be the sig 213, and had it all planned out, two days ago he told me that's the one he was going to get sometime next month. It's so heart breaking, I don't think i could vape again without thinking of him... None of my friends vape, he got me into it, and was always stoked or excited to see a pic of a new bottle I made, or testers he could take. Now I have no one to show my creations to, or new mods to ask about, rdas to choose from, I feel so lost. Sorrry to bum anyone out, but this really sucks.

Sorry to hear that my man. Loosing someone close is always a life changing event for everyone close to them.

I haven't heard of the juice before that your buddy enjoyed, but it sounds like you put in a lot of work trying to clone it for him and came close.

If your up to it, maybe consider throwing the recipe up online and name it after your buddy. That way him and his name will live on in the DIY\vape scene that he loved so much. Just an idea.

It was just a 12 monkeys juice, like o-rangz or whatever, But i was pretty close, I had like 5-6 different variations of it I found online, but I'm definitely going to try create something for him and name it after him, I think he'd like that.

It always amazes me how both durable and fragile the human body is.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace in time.

Thank you, I think I will, He is in a much nicer place now I think, and probably has access to a great collection of ejuices and mods lol.

I'm very sorry for your loss, man. It's always hard to lose a friend, especially one you share something like that with. I've also lost quite a few close friends recently, and I know how much it sucks.

People just need to quit dying young already!

His funeral is tomorrow, so I'm going to make him his clone, but will definitely switch it out when it's perfected. My wife suggested To bring it to his grave and burn it when it's ready, that way he will receive it. (I'm first nations, and that's part of a tradition to give things to those that passed)
