Dipping a toe in the water

[Jemima]

Yes

Thing is everythign else I own is usually black, hubby whinged I needed more colour in my life so I went with white lol

Using certain adapters can also push the contact pin down on a battery or indeed a Mod connection . . . so it's always worth trying Jason's fix first.

Great photos Dom, I enjoyed looking at them.....except the close up of the spider. YUCK.....

I was looking at one of those variable pass-throughs, let me know how u get on with it.

and Jason, let me know if u get it in white lol

Not much to say - it works (now).

Varying the voltage does have an effect - at 4.2V you
get more flavour out of a cartridge and more
vapour , so it's good in that respect.
I'm not sure I'm expert enough to detect more subtle
differences, and haven't really tried it with cartos yet.

Anythying that reduces the need to recharge batteries
is good imo.

Meanwhile, I'm very happy to have switched to cartos -
they seem to last forever between fills (well about a day),
and are a lot less faff in general and give me better vapour.

That's good Hope you touched wood!

Spiders are cool - I like them, except when they run up my sleeve.

My cat (RIP) used to eat them - all I had to do was shout 'spider' and
point, and she would deal with it!

What a well trained Kitty.

Spiders and Great White Sharks both frighten me.

[domesticextremist]

I didn't train it, I think that's how she survived whilst she was stray
(and before selecting muggins as her owner).

[Perpetua]

Awwww bless her Dom . . . that's a compliment to be 'adopted' by a kitty I always think.

luckily you wont bump into both at the same time Perpy LOL

my two little tigers LOVE spiders and bugs.... if they find one they will play with it for hours... then eventually Damon will eat it and leave poor Dexy just looking in bewilderment at where his new 'toy' went

After a day of testing with the vari-voltage pass through, I am seeing different
behaviour with different set ups.

With an atomiser and cartridge, it works well at 3.7V, but even better at 4.2V.
I can get loads of really tasty vapur from a long drag at 4.2, and it keeps going
right to the end of the cartridge.

With a cartomiser and drip tip, 4.2V is way too hot and dry, so 3.2V or 3.7V are
better, giving the right amount of vape at the right temperature.

I think the difference is due to airflow (much better through the carto/drip tip),
and wicking speed. The atty has a small reservoir in the gauze around the coil,
which means I can take a drag without it drying out, and between drags it gets
replenished from the wadding in the cartridge.

With the carto, the coil is onlty fed from contact with the wool filler, which I don't think
can keep up with the rate at which vapour is produced and removed

So in that respect, it is probably better than a plain 5V USB pass through which would
probably be horrible with the cartomisers, but OK with cartridges.

Or at least, that's my theory

Finally, I tried out the freebie Grizwalds White Chocolate sample that
came with the order.
It's actually not bad - not nearly as overwhelming a chocolate taste as
I expected. Very reminiscent of the Milky Bar (for those old enough to
remember).

Milky Bars are still around Dom ....the Milkybar kid may have aged a little tho

[Anne (fuzzy)]

'Only the best is good enough' for him though! Are the milky bars on you Gordy?

I always loved caramac, most of my pocket money went on them. Are they still about? If they are, they will have shrunk over the years like most of the chocolate bars from those days.

[Gordy]

they sure are



Caramac are still around
...they even do icecream versions

Caramacs were the biz - I don't think they shrank though, rather we got bigger
