Probably going to give the Furytank 2 a go whilst visiting Anyvape later in the month - improved top fill apparently, looks like the DT has gone, so not sure about the added air flow which was nice - but also Clapton coils in the heads apparently

Aloha ceedee - was planning on asking about the new EU regulations and what their plans might be. China is trying to turn itself into a more consumer based economy - in which case the EU market is pretty small as they reckon 40-50% of men smoke in China. Having said that, i've only seen westerners vape Interestingly the Shenzhen Ecig Expo from the 14th to 16th of April (which i'm hoping to get to) - when i'd expect the Chinese manufacturers to have an EU plan in place to either counter the TPD or circumvent it

My FB friends in Shenzhen have been wanting to go to an amusement park and ride the rollercoasters - if that's the Tea Garden - for a while, but it's too expensive for them - so in exchange for an ickle tour of Shenzhen, i've said i'd treat them to a day ticket - expensive for them but £20 each is a cheap guided tour for me

One of the things i'm thinking about @droog - the Furytank has been my favourite subohm tank to date - until it died - but the RBA section was a PITA compared to the KST mini (for me at least). Maybe the new FT2 RBA will be updated but i doubt it.

Aloha Heading down to Shenzhen for me inter-semester Spring Break (at least 10 degrees warmer than Xianning) - and have an FB friend at Anyvape ( Anyvape LJ) whose trying to organise a trip around the factory and facilities for me. Also got interest in an article from Spinfuel Ezine - so thought i'd ask the UK vapers if they have any questions or points they'd want me to ask or things to look at/for when i'm going around? Not sure when the visit will be exactly - i'm in Shenzhen from the 16th of January until the 15thof February - so not sure when the article would go in Spinfuel. Going to see who else in Shenzhen might be up for a visit and article whilst i'm down there - though it's also the month that China shuts LoL So if anyone has contacts that they could introduce me to in Shenzhen that would be greatly appreciated

Teaching English as a Foreign Language can be tough - all to easy for the students to feign indifference or lack of understanding - and their motivation to study English at all is questionable when it is a compulsory, and to them pointless, part of their course. Unless they live, or plan on living in Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen, where English is considered useful, most Chinese students will probably rarely, if ever, need or get the chance to use it. But every now and again, you get a class that, although maybe not the best, appreciate your efforts Here's to my 2nd class on Moday's - Happy to be there

Certainly different - and get vague 'celebrity' status as one of only six westerner's (and the only barefoot one) in a city of 3 million LoL Random folk shouting 'Hello' - possibly the only word of English they know! Miming and Advanced Charades and looking befuddled but smiling sweetly are my main forms of communication at the mo though. Interesting way of getting a replacement power lead for me laptop Have been offered some Saturday work - which almost doubles me wages - and would include visiting some cool places like Wudan shan - the birthplace of tai Chi. so someplace i'd wanted to go, with free transport, getting paid for the privilege, and with an interpreter thrown in I'm too lazy to get fat Gill - it takes less effort to do moderate exercise and eat satisficiently, then it does to lug around excess weight

Price of a 80g bar of 60% Dark chocolate 9rmb so 160g = 18rmb (roughly £1.80) Price of 20 marlboro = 15rmb (roughly £1.50) So cheaper to die of cancer than get fat in China BTW £1 = roughly 10rmb The chocolates 'imported' - the government owns ALL the tobacco companies Also probably helps explain why i'm the only vaper i've seen so far over here - even at 100rmb for a piece of kit that would cost 250-300rmb in the UK that's 200 of the cheapest fags

Well all was going fine and then... My FuryTank started going all squiggly - whichever mod i put it on the ohms would keep changing and then the dreaded - No Atomiser or equivalent Changed heads a few times and fine for a while then it happened again. So put it one side and went out for my first drinkies with a Yank i'd been put in touch with at a Chinese 'pub' that serves imported beer - and he got me hammered and on Duvel bless him! Then i managed to drop and break the glass tank on the KST mini. Get home to find i haven't got the spare with me Still have an old Kanger Aerotank so could be worse. Get in touch with my new Facebook and Wechat friend at Anyvape to see if there's anyway i can get a new Furytank or something - i can't get a Chinese bank account until i receive my Residency Permit (currently being processed - so at least a couple of weeks) and most companies that accept paypal won't deliver within China Well LJ has been an absolute star - told her boss about me Furytank, and as i've only had it for a couple of months and am her friend, she managed to persuade him to give me a new Sega tank as a replacement - which is in the post and should be here for the weekend So whilst i still want to get a replacement tank for the KST (easiest RBA section i've used) at least i'll have sub Ohming back up and running thanks to my Vaping Angel LJ

So far no issues at all with vaping - pretty much anywhere - even though i stil won't vape in places i wouldn't have smoked back in the day. No other vapers spotted or vape equipment being sold anywhere yet. Do need to source some PG/VG soon as whilst i can vape 30mg through a .3ohm subtank - and its awesome for nic hit and juice consumption - it does take the fun out of it a tad

So far Atlantis and Triton coils fit the Anyvape Furytank - still have to try the Triton RTA system in it - aware that other folk have complained about its screw threads but will see for meself Dreckly; )

Hopefully will be able to b/vlog me adventures - but left me laptop power cable in Ireland - Doh! Have a free blog space courtesy of World Nomads Insurance (me Ma insisted), a Viva Vaping sub forum still on UK Vapers they're happy for me to record me Vaping adventures on, part way through setting up a Wix blog site, me Viva Vaping YouTube channel - and of course here - so should be covered power lead, Firewall, and VPN's allowing Vaping forums don't appear to be blocked (currently anyway). Vaping doesn't appear to be common where i am, with the only comment (in English) being "oh so you're trying to give up smoking" - which was similar to Ecuador ????

Thanks Vaping Folks Well despite me rucksack going for a jolly on it's own in Hong Kong - the airline delivered it to me door within 24 hours and with EVERYTHING intact - so me 500ml of unflavoured and premixed PG/VG with 30mg nic - so also colourless and in a plain VG bottle - made it through with me M+P's flavour selection - which should see me through until i find a good source over here! Big Hugs to Foclecig for translating Electronic Cigarette supplies and Glycerin into Mandarin - so both me washbag and VG were labelled with both to minimise any confusion HeHe! Oh and as a bonus installed Flashvpn on me phone as a free app before leaving - as an advert laden but worth-a-try back up - and not only does it manage to penetrate the Great Firewall of China to give access yo FB etc - the ads disappeared too LoL

Also treated myself to an Angled 510 Drip Tip Adapter from FT Got to say for around a quid tis a bargain - not only can i keep the tank level and juice my favoured vape position - but fits all me Drip Tips (so far) and less 'Splash Back'
