Get a medium-sized bowl and position a candle at the bottom of it. A taper candle works best, but any candle can work. Then, pour water into the bowl until the candle is almost covered. Leave about 1 in (2.5 cm) of candle sticking out of the water for the spell. It's best to use a black candle, if you have one. You can find a black taper candle at a department store, magickal supplies store, or online. Pour salt into your hand, then slowly sprinkle it in a circle around the candle. Add as much salt as you like to provide extra purification to your spell. You can use table salt for this, but it’s best to use sea salt or Epsom salt if you have it. They haven’t been processed like table salt, so their properties are more intact. a white light flowing into the water. Stare at the bowl of water and picture a beam of white light flowing into the bowl. Imagine that this light is a positive, cleansing light. Take several slow, deep breaths as you visualize the light. In Pagan traditions, the purpose of this practice is to imbue the water with positive energy to help your spell work. Use a match or lighter to light the candle. As it burns, recite a spell or say a prayer to break your curse. Make sure you finish your spell before the candle goes out.  You might say, “Earth, fire, water, and air, be the answer to my prayer, banish this curse and leave me pure, tonight I claim a blessed cure.” You could pray, “Dear God/Goddess, Please cleanse me of this negative energy and lift the curse. I know that you will make me free. Amen.” Don’t blow out your candle because it’s best to let it go out on its own. Let the candle continue burning until the wick reaches the water. At that point, the water will extinguish the fire. Your spell is almost complete! In Pagan traditions, it's believed that letting a candle go out on its own strengthens the spell and keeps the magic in place. Remove the candle from the water and bend it at the center. Keep bending until it breaks in half. Then, take the bowl and the candle outside. Dig a shallow hole and bury your candle. Burying the candle completes the spell to break the curse. Slowly pour the water so that you’re able to complete an entire circle. If you still have water, make another pass. You do this to seal the spell. The salt may kill grass around the buried candle.

Summary: Put a candle in a bowl and add water up to 1 in (2.5 cm) from the tip. Sprinkle a handful of salt into the water around the candle. Visualize Light the candle, then say your spell or prayer. Let the candle burn down to the water and go out. Break the candle in half and bury it outside. Pour the water in a circle around the buried candle.


Over the counter ranitidine is commonly available in 75 mg and 150 mg tablets. If you have spoken with your doctor or otherwise know based on past experience that 150 mg is the right dose for you, opt for that. Otherwise, talk to your doctor or start with the 75 mg tablets. You can always take a second tablet if 75 mg is not enough. The brand-name version of ranitidine, Zantac, is available in a syrup form. Zantac syrup has been found to be especially helpful for heartburn and acid reflux. A syrup may also be easier to properly measure and administer to children, especially kids who haven’t learned to swallow tablets yet. For severe or chronic conditions, your doctor may be able to prescribe you a higher ranitidine dosage than you can buy over the counter. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and what you’ve done to try and manage your symptoms so that they can help determine if you need a prescription-strength medication. You won’t need to provide ranitidine injections for yourself, but the medication can be administered either through intramuscular injection (IM) or intravenous drip (IV) in a hospital or emergency room. If you have a severe or chronic condition, talk to your doctor about if and when you might need ranitidine injections.

Summary: Check the dosage on tablets. Use a syrup for heartburn and acid reflux. Ask your doctor about a prescription. Look into injections.


Soldering involves melting metals and, naturally, you don’t want to breathe them in. Open all the doors and windows around you. Get some air flowing through your workspace. A nice pair of polycarbonate glasses are essential when welding. Since you are working with small wires, you probably won’t be able to wear gloves. Use tweezers to hold the wires and put the hot soldering iron in its stand when not in use. Never rest the hot iron against your work surface. Twist the parts counterclockwise to remove them. Set each part aside and in order so you know how to reassemble the pen. The bottom section of the pen is the battery. The part above it connects to the heating element, or coil. Notice how the wires run from the battery to the heating element. Again, make sure the pen feels cool before touching it. If a wire is broken, the pen should not heat up at all. You should see a red wire and a black wire. Bring the frayed ends of each wire together. Wrap the ends around each other to twist them into 1 wire again. The twisted spot needs to be thin so it fits in place.  If you need more exposed wires, use wire strippers or a utility knife to cut off some of the casing. You can also rub the exposed filaments to fray them and make them easier to twist together. The red wire connects the battery to the heating element. The black wire is the ground wire and runs from the battery to the outside of the heating chamber. First, pick up a spool of solder wire from the home improvement store. Unspool it, laying the end of the wire near the wires you wish to solder. Turn the iron on and, after letting it heat for a minute, dab the tip against the end of the wire. Hold the same-colored wires together. With your other hand, bring the soldering iron over to the exposed portion. Dab the soldering iron against it to drop off the soldering material. Get more metal from the wire and continue applying it until the exposed wires are covered. Always move the soldering iron. Don’t let it hang over the exposed wires, or else it might begin to melt them. Use the tip to spread the soldering material. The joint will begin cooling right away and solidify after a few minutes. The best way to cover the joint is with a shrink tube from a home improvement center. Wrap it around the joint, then apply a little heat to shrink it. A hair dryer is a good, safe way to do this, although you can also do it carefully with a match or the soldering iron. Another way to cover the joint is with electrical tape. Rearrange the pieces of the pen, packing the wires into their chambers. Turn on the pen and, if done correctly, it should work again. If it doesn’t, return the pen to the store to have a professional look at it or buy a new one. The wires may have come loose from their connections. This is hard to fix at home, especially if you can’t locate the terminals for the wires. Bring the pen in to a professional.
Summary: Work in a well-ventilated environment. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. Unscrew the vape pen parts. Twist same-colored wires together. Heat the soldering iron and dab it against a wire solder. Solder the colored wires together. Cover the soldered joint after it cools. Test the vape pen.
