davetherayon sorry to hear of your woes, days like that can be testing. The little magnets you mentioned. I have a couple of flat tops that dip in a bit and dont like my vamo. Where are these available from ? Jay Here's a site in the UK selling them in packs of 5 for under a quid (considering P&P you may end up with more vapemail to make the postage worth it). www.biriecig.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=80They're great fun, but then magnets always are Have a couple stuck to one of my electronic screwdrivers, stops screws from going flying and the other screwdrivers cling to it like koala babies to mum.

Very nice What programme is that you are using? Have never seen it before =o coiltoy.ermeso.com/That is REALLY useful, especially being able to specify Kanthal in mm. Lots of posts/youtubes of folk using '26 gauge kanthal' is that AWG or SWG, have to think how does it convert to the stuff I have that's on mm-marked rolls...

Been a funny old week in my vaping world. Monday, I broke a Kayfun. Trying to remove the bottom section by a tried and trusted method of inserting a drill bit into the airhole and using it as a lever, the drill bit broke and the tip was so flush I couldn't remove it. So, off to Fasttech... Tuesday, the Provari died. The atty ohms reading was jumping around with all atomisers, so I isopropanol-cleaned the 510 and battery conns, no dice, but reading about how some had been fixed by briefly bathing the innards in iso I did that and left it a day to dry off... dead as a doornail now. Wednesday, woohoo! the Kanger Aerotank Turbo that Dave Dorn had been tooting on VTTV (not the same one of course) arrived. And it is a dream for clouding. But that's not the end. Turns out that those tiny magnets used to 'nippleise' flat top batteries, 5 of them were strong enough to extract the drill bit from the erstwhile doomed Kayfun. Going to have to try to resurrect the Provari though. I miss it already

Quick solution that works for me : drink a fizzy drink with some juice (ACTUAL JUICE NOT EJUICE!) in it. Or if you are really fuzzed up on the tongue, take a deep breath and scratch your tongue with a tiny bit of toothpaste. It does tend to build up with some juices, caramel chocolate and custard are notorious for me. Another thing if you lose vape flavour, is to try a bit of something radical like MENTHOL (kill me Dave Dorm), which clears the sinuses and starts the natural process of degunking your internals. Eww. Gross sounding but it does work.
Toot toot!

Tips of the day, that I only learned recently. Make sure you have a good amount of airflow in your dripper! Don't pack it too full of wick, move the coil(s) so they're near the air intake holes (or adjust airflow if you can e.g. Tobh to be right behind the coil). When using it, prepare to take good tug (ooh er missus) on the drip tip, if you have clouds escaping from the airholes it's wasted juice! Make sure you keep the wick well wetted with juice, dry burns on a dripper taste nasty.

This site is really fun if you fancy a bit of nostalgia. Argos catalogues from 1973 onwards. From the 1974 issue, here's a picture of John Craven relaxing with the wife at home after a hard day recording Newsround.

I started the new job this week, wheee! Anyway, on going in the first thing to do was to sign bits of paper with HR, agreeing to policies on IT and the like. Then came a health questionnaire, the HR fella went through each question and hit the inevitable... "Do you smoke?" Resisting the urge to brandish the ego I'd brought in for work vape, I just said "I use electronic cigarettes." His response? "Oh, we do too, they're great aren't they?" I didn't find out if the 'we' was him and colleagues, or him and the wife, but it was a response I wasn't expecting and a really nice surprise!

I am a big fan of Banoffee. Toffee. Bananananana. Graham Cacker. Dulce de Methes. (actually it's toffee 3%, banana 13%, graham cracker 3%, dulce de leche 3%) It's lusssh. It's about the only juice I make in batches of 50 ML Warning : banana cracks plastic like a knife on butter!

I have about 60 I think... but today doing a mixing session I nearly had a fart attack! "Recipes for Custardy lovechild, ready; rhubarb and custard, ready; banana custard, ready; let's get the concentrates... hmmm something missing... I HAVE NO CUSTARD CONCENTRATE LEFT!!!" I had one 30 ML bottle that was right down to the dregs, panic? Not arf! But! Rummaging around the bottles, I found a little 10 ML bottle of custard from justvape247. Phew, with the last of the large bottle I just had enough to make 90ML juice! Immediately after mixing it was vapemail time... 60 ML VC (plus some more banana, toffee, and some vg and tobacco conc thrown in for good measure to make the order up)

Yeah, I also shorted a battery (18650) by stowing it in my jacket breast pocket along with housekeys. The top popped, emitting quite a pong, thankfully the car was stationary so it was a case of getting out and tossing the offending item as far away as possible. Not terribly WEEE but needs must.
(Might wanna move this thread mods, antz will be weeing in their pantz)

China Kayfun arrived today, the one with fill hole on the side (Plus? V3 Plus? Superdupershiny version? God knows). Full of Mrs B's Vanilla Custard now, nom nom.
Wonder if Mrs B is married to this fella?

More people vaping using egos (less cigalikes, a good thing in itself) does increase the likelihood that some will pop the battery on a 510-connected power lead running at 5V. It's looking like the 510 may have to become a thing of the past* if the 2nd gen ecig manufacturers want to avoid the big antz banstick.
*except for China, who won't give a fudge if they continue to get through customs.
