Hello mate

[dagl]

Welcome back Ruffie!

Welcome back ruffdog! Good to see you around the forum again
I too have moved on, in as much as I'm direct lung inhaling most of the time now, and loving Goblins, Orchids and the new Innokin iSubs, cheaper than the Kanger stuff but still pack a punch.
I haven;t got into Temperature Control, and although I have a 60w mod (MVP3 Pro), only ever use it at around 25w.
Best of luck with your exploring all that's new around here!

It's good to see you back on the forum, ruffdog

Things have evolved somewhat, as others have said. Folks doing direct lung inhales (I don't understand why), definite shift towards VV/VW mods and mechanical tube mods appear to have be out of fashion. Lots of dual battery devices out there, both regulated and unregulated.

Temperature control as mentioned above is interesting and does work.

The TPD hammer continues to gain height before the drop and complacency is rife, although the implementation in the UK is still unclear. If possible, a stock pile of nicotine base in the freezer is advisable, along with general contingency planning.

There's far greater awareness of Acetyl Propionyl (AP) and it's partial conversion to Diacetyl when heated (the latter being something you really don't want to vape and both greatly enhances the flavour of many desert style liquids. How big a deal it is, however, is open to question and many folks are comfortable with it in smallish doses. As such, it's becoming more apparent that a lot of flavourings / juices have quite high levels of AP and there's been a few interesting times - the Suicide Bunny brand being one and more recently and disgracefully, the great marketeers known as Five Pawns have, well, go search the web and find a tale of questionable truths, corporate self-contridiction, social media censorship and general outrage (and support for), a cease and desist letter to one of our most respected UK vendors who had the audacity to test their liquids and after failed communication and inaction on behalf of FP, published and delisted - other companies have also delisted their juice and there's fun to be had researching all of the above.

There's some great RDA's out there (for me The Marquis stands out, although it has it's faults)

What else? The forum continues to be a good and nurturing place to be and, despite the odd upset, continues to evolve into a strong on-line community.

ruffdog all I've destroyed is on wee £20 vw mod

that is it. And I got a provari - in a sale!

Other than that - not a lot!

I don't do 'new and trendy' - It took me 6 months to get a vivi nova when they were all the rage LOL

Och I've lost 2 stone in weight? does that count? and go to the odd vape meet in Edinbubble

I still just single coil and spend a lot of time in simple, old fashioned mech world cos they just work!

And my rattie I got last february died 2 weeks ago (and I tried to resusitate her )

PS. FIrst time on a plane in 10 years went very well - till I had the panic attack on way back to Manchester cos of caffeine/nic withdrawal - remedied thanks to nice chap in Boots! Isle of Man was fab. Lots of vape places - particularly recommend Cafe and Vape! Fab vape cafe! (think it's called that or coffee and vape). Down from 7mg/ml - 3.5mg/ml - not even subohming . I gotta get ready for the TPD LOL
