You've really been pushing back the cuticles on this one haven't you?

I have got them K..

I opened the black/gold one up and the cable going to the body/cap is completely charred. Was this the one you melted that cart with?

Also the silicone washer separating the center pin from the earth has a big gash in it. You've really been pushing back the cuticles on this one haven't you?

Sounds like more than a centre pin problem?

[Perpetua]

Yes it's true Macca . . . I know I try and destroy things as professionally as I possibly can.

Firstly , I only just saw this which is weird cos I've been on the boards all night , secondly I cannot believe you got them so quick I could not have got from Mull to you in that amount of time certainly not for 85p including envelope , Thirdly , no I don't think that is the one that the Carto burned on I thought it was a silver one but it is possible I was so upset that day!, Finally I did get quite excited by teh pushing up thing but only because it was working ( until I killed it)

[maccafan]

Sorry for the bad news K..

As far as I can tell the electronics on both of them are fried..One of them is permanently stuck on live with a mofset failure and the other one is just dead. I tried for about an hour each but to no avail.

[kirsty0108]

Och no worries at least I don't have to wait to send you the charger and I can get on with shopping for new batteries, the waiting was killing me Will still send you the juice tomorrow. Thanks for trying

How I understand that! Misbehaving e-cig gear can turn me into a nervous wreck (instead of a neurotic all-in-one-piece ). I hope your new stuff will be plain-sailing {{{Kirsty}}}

[kirsty0108]

Totally Scylla , thought e-cigs were meant to help me stop smoking not have me digging out my old Physics textbooks and regretting not doing that engineering degree!

Incidentally this thread should be re-named when Kirsty started to lose the plot, how badly I lost the plot I will keep to myself for now (and a few individuals who have helped me regain the plot, they know who they are )

[kirsty0108]

Ok so about time to start mentioning people who helped me regain the plot first up is a Doctor Macca who a few posts above stated that I had successfully managed to kill my Riva completely well like Lazarus they have risen from the dead and they arrived today safe and sound through my letter box with a few extra bits to stop the pins sinking so I'm not tempted to kill them again . He also checked that two of the stardust worked and if I'mnot mistaken he's also replaced one of the wick which is a bit naughty as he didn't tell me he was doing that . Thanks Macca!

[maccafan]

You are welcome Kirsty..I did enjoy fixing them..

[Perpetua]

You're a gem Macca, very kind and generous of you.


Do you enjoy decorating by any chance . . . .

[maccafan]

I enjoy decorating but you might not want to see the end result..

Wow never eve thought you could raise the centre pin lol.

How do you know when it needs doing? I do have a habit of screwing atties/cartos in quite tight, although I've learnt not to do that with my GGTB..thanks to chrissie
