THC Vape Hits Harsh

I just started THC vape and am new to this. The hits are really harsh and I feel a burning in my throat after a few hits. Do you have advice for a new user to improve my experience with THC vape? TIA

Air leaks on aluminum dual-pane windows

I have a few aluminum dual-pane windows that I noticed leaked cold air last winter. The glass is still sealed and good, but the brush seals (not sure what they’re called) leaked air. It seems like I could replace those seals myself or at least hire someone to do that rather than replace the windows. Do you have any insights on this that will help me eliminate the leaks? TIA

Ring Spotlight Cam Pro: Stopped Receiving Power

I have three Spotlight Cam Pro cameras I installed in February 2026. They are the flakiest cameras I’ve ever had from Ring. Yesterday it rained and all three alarmed they lost power and the batteries died. One was already replaced and is again failed.

I used the Ring hardwired kit on each of them. The kit seems weatherproof and solid. The construction of the module and wires seem bulletproof as far as moisture getting inside and causing havoc. The installation instructions state to seal them with silicone. I didn’t because the foam gasket looks great and I hate to seal against the wall in case it fails.

I’ve been using Ring spotlight cams on two other homes in Florida (earlier versions) and never had any issues over about 10 years.

I’m all ears for suggestions on troubleshooting these cameras. Maybe you tried something I haven’t? TIA

I purchased three Floodlight Cam Pros this year. Two of them gave me this alert within a week. I disconnected them and resecured them. One worked great for about six weeks without issue. Then two nights ago it “lost power” and went to battery mode and died. A second camera has been running since January with this alert yet works fine. A third one hasn’t experienced any issues. I’ve wired many Ring devices in several of my previous homes without issue. All of a sudden I feel like I’m not qualified. Is anyone else experiencing this issue and do you have any suggestions?

Hi! We moved into our home in December and just prepared this 10’x20’ garden. We have boysenberry’s, cabbage and potatoes planted. Today we’ll plant peas. We are adding tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers and green beans in the April/May timeframe. We used Chat GPT to layout the garden, preparation suggestions, fertilization recommendations, etc. I hope it works out.
