 *mumbles rather naughty words against the EU & governments* nice to see the millions upon millions we pay into the EU gets spent on improving lives and reducing poverty isn't it >  I don't think it will be quite as hard hitting as people think, it might, I was privy to a VOSA newsletter which mentioned this, the 8 point system, but it was mainly covering aspects of MOT's and kit cars - guess we're just going to have to wait and see. To have them wiped out would be commercial suicide for the government who is wanting every last penny of revenue it can muster, for the estimated 220+ thousand 'basic' "on the road" modified cars in the UK - that would be an awful lot of tax and duty lost, plus manufactures, accessory shops, garages, events, advertising. They would shed several million pounds of revenue in duty in doing so. Not to mention the several million lost in economic spending. But then again, the EU and the government are stupid, and probably all want us to ride bananas on wheels and pay £1000 tax for the privilege of doing so

Just to point out, it was 7 weeks today since I got 2 x V2's and 2 x V3's - they're all going ok - I've had one new V2 - and that had a build fail - one of those things, so that has been the only item I've thrown away, and apart from an i3 - again a structural fail - everything else is still working. The V3r that I have just this minute topped up with some GKK (Grizwalds Karoffee Kick) - has a self built wick in it, and only because I could and I can and I did I'm topping my V3's up 3 - 4 times a day. Cleaning them once a week, sometimes twice, I think the one I'm using has had 2 cleans, and the re-wick. Normally when I get a bit of a burnt taste, it is just because I'm not holding it correctly best of luck, and let us know how you get on, you can buy all the bits and bits from VapeEscape - and you might even get a free pen  |

I used very hot water - I didn't say that because I wouldn't want anyone to burn themselves did you get a nice little red glow down the peep hole? If you did, and you're still getting a burn taste when you're full, and providing you vape it well - as in don't hold it like a recorder or something, hold it like a ciggy, and roll it and keep those wicks wet - dry spots and burnt tastes shouldn't be an issue for them. Do give it another rinse out, do use hot water - don't burn yourself, and make sure you get a good dry burn, only once though, or could scorch the wick, and then it would be a throw away job (Keep the drip tip though) |

Best thing to do with a V2 is: With very warm water - rinse rinse (shake) rinse rinse (shake) rinse you sort of get the idea, a lot of rinsing and shaking Shake and empty as much as you can. With the drip tip still off Dry burn time (first time I did mine it took 14 15 second bursts to get the glow - that was on a 900mAh eGo-T - peek through the centre of it at where the coil is - in the tiny air-hole you will eventually see red - once you do, job done, now, you can either let it dry out - or blow through it to clear out an water in the air tube - or just fill it with your favourite e-juice, replace the drip tip, making sure it is nice and tight. Roll it, move it around, let that wick soak up the juice, a few sucks and blows on it helps it along the way. vape away If you do have a burnt taste: a) - you've got a scorched wick, if you keep getting it, it'll be time to bin it I'm afraid b) - you've vaped too much on empty - if you can top up, top up, keep it topped up - you might have under-wicked and got a bit of a dry spot, with that you get a burnt taste. Still, a rinse and clean should do the trick - the other thing that might have happened, and I find this with the thicker juices, is that you get a build up of juice - I think they're the caramelized sugars from the flavour, and it cakes the coil, and on a long vape - this cooks and you get the burnt taste - again, a rinse, and dry burn will solve this issue. I have no idea what I've typed, can only keep one eye open, yet my fingers are typing at warp 6 - very bizarre! all the best anyway |

Just awaiting on my new one - Sony Xperia-U - was on odd choice, but since no pennies are being exchanged apart from for an on-the-go USB lead (which means USB devices just plug in and work) - I'm quite chuffed. Had a play with one, and although it is just a basic mid range, and still with Gingerbread, Ice cream is due September - it's a very good phone - quick, responsive, good signal, fast wi-fi, nice screen, easy to use, good battery life, so - Sony it is Samsungs just kept being buggy and - very good at DOA too OH's Samsung Ace 2 is being replaced due to issues next time there is chance for her to pop into the store. HTC wildfire was alright - but wasn't great - apart from the laggy department For my first Android it was ok, my brother's also enjoyed being dropped in coffee and still proving to everyone it could still work iPhone - well, never got a signal in the house with it, and really didn't like it - I was sooo disappointed, I really wanted to love it as a phone, but didn't.  Essential, expensive wastes of time phones are As for your choice, Samsung will win on spec, but I'd go for an HTC if it was me, it is like a choice between a Ford or a Vauxhall. as long as it has the features you want to do with it, then go for it, doesn't matter with same spec. phones these days, they either work or they don't. In regards to battery life - treat them well, and they're fine, or, if they're replaceable, you can buy bigger mAh batteries! Another reason for choosing the phone I did, it had a replaceable battery Best of luck, and you could always go for a Sony |

Mine do the same also It is normal. However, if you get a proper blob.... Over filled - the usual case, Too much jiggling - can also also cause a blob Silicon Cap over wick not seated properly Threaded drip tip not seated properly or aligned properly Head not tight enough Juice type, certain juices can cause over-wicking - I've found this with some juice, a couple of dry sucks - not to hard or you'll get a mouth full of juice! If in doubt, strip it down, clean it, re-build it slowly, and all will be fine. Once mastered, they're pretty much as perfect as you can get Hope that helps |

...nooooo, I mean is the person ok who deleted the posts? ie. concerned for their well being and welfare.
They replied to my post stating they have had similarities to what I had gone through, which would indicate a poor state of mind, may have been upset, or depressed.
Was just concerned that's all.

He's human, and male - and was with someone topless, he's young, a prince, in the military, isn't this all perfectly normal? Is this really news?  Still, I guess his birthday suit is probably a little more appropriate that his nazi fancy dress Good on him, down to earth, fun loving, and normal |
