One thing that drives me nuts about vaping is...... as the title suggests.... THREADS !!!!!!!! Why are they so ill-fitting so often? Why are some place's threads soooo incompatible with others?? Why am I having to raise a ticket with fasttech, as one of the two airflow controllers fits lke a glove, but the other feels likely to strip the threads on my devices?? I know, I'm an engineer, I know about manufacturing tolerances etc., but that's what specifications are for, so that when within the specified tolerances, different manufacturer's devices should screw together with ease  sorry.... rant over  |

GunJackI'm no longer an engineer but I did train as an aircraft engineer and did a 4 year apprenticeship so I know the importance of toleraces ! unfortunately some manufactures don't hence why the new tip for my mini protank that was supposed to fit a mini protank didn't f'ing fit !! The reply I got was 'different manufacturers work to different tolerances ?? Surely if they are supposed to fit an item - they should all work to the same tolerances ?? ..... Rant Over  |

yes sammy13 an aircraft engineer. Was tough to start with as I was the only girl on the course of Mechanical Technicians .. got a lot of stick (jibes, comments etc etc) but one of my best achievements was winning best 1st year apprentice !! I beat all those guys who'd taken the piss out of me and said a girl wasn't good enough  ... LMAO .. I proved em all wrong sadly being married to the RAF my marriage came above my career (divorced from the RAF and ex years ago though !) and so I now work in payroll - but those 4 years training set me up for life ! I often laugh as my mum says the day I started my appreticeship I stopped being a young lady (not sure I ever was really?) but working among men/lads who think you're not good enough taught me to stick up for myself and speak my mind. Yep ! mums right .. I aint no lady  |

Ok, wibble - where is the Malaysian plane? I bet they bought their wing bolts (or whatever the technical term is) from a cheap street seller in the far east. I want to be an assassin with a sniper rifle, because I'd be good at that  |
