Very helpful 'team' - lots of great other ideas. Running with EE as planned but thanks to these suggestions there's more to explore for next time. "Together we are stronger, together we save some serious dosh - power to the AAEC'ers" - Dave, Saturday afternoon 2018.  |

At least one kettle and 23,000 biscuits went to the Shrewsbury 'Ark' for homeless people. And 350 tea bags. Shall I ask for some of the Rich Tea or Custard Creams back? |

djs Found a brand new full size genuine Nautilus kit, the one with an extra steel tank as well as normal glass, two new Kabuki's, both clones (good ones), couple packs of 1.6 coils and a few new RDA's, Derringers, Stumpy and something else, my phone is kapput right this minute so can't get any photo's on but will do tomorrow if you remind me  OK, that's very promising. I am off on holiday tomorrow and might be off the grid until I get a sim card (see my other thread)... I should be seeing my mate at the pub on the sea-front and will tell him. I'd imagine the big Nautilus is too big for him (I tried before) but a Kabuki and coils would/could be perfect. Is Derringer a 'hot' vape... I seem to remember it as such. Don't know Stumpy RDA - I'll look on Fasttech. Thank you! |

Yo! As I go away from time to time the problem of running out of data on my phone (when there's no wifi zones) is often cropping up. I have a basic monthly plan with only a small amount of data, being a grumpy cheesecake cheapskate.  I may have found a solution. 1. Find an old phone. 2. Buy a 79p sim card from Homebargains. Spend £10 or even £20 topping it up and get a choice of data that lasts 30 days. Go with whatever provider offers the most data for your cash. You also get calls and texts. Go on, drag out that old brick. You know you want to. I'm going for 2gb for £10. Half the price of the "Three" sim in my old phone. Check it out. I bet Wilko do them too. Even Sainsburys! DISCLAIMER - Don't do this on some old 2G Nokia or Sony nonsense. You need a proper 3G or 4G phone. Beg, borrow or steal. Vive le deal!  |

I had never heard of these devices before I read this thread and I can't say it's peaked my interest in the slightest now I do know about it  The thing is... I am sure I'd enjoy vaping a 50mg cig-a-like/pod thing with the right attributes. It's probably amazing... just it's like deciding to be tied to the nasty wheel of endless purchasing all over again. I did that for 2 months in 2013 and have felt it was wrong ever since. The most tied in to anything I am is my printer ink. It costs £15 every 6 months. Clone cartridges. Now, if you could get really cheap Juul pods from China and 50mg was legal in the UK, maybe I'd be looking into it. |

Dear all, This request is for a friend, so no holding back on asking for whatever price you see fit. He's likes a bargain but I save him a fortune on e-liquid! WANTEDMini Nautilus' - tanks, bases, complete, coils (1.6/1.8) - anything really. Kabuki tank.... (?) would like to try. Single coil RDA. He's tried my Hadaly, Narda and Wasp. He likes the Wasp at gentle power... which is a surprise. Least keen on Hadaly. Positively hated my dual coil RDAs. Many thanks for considering. Dave. |

Millennials/Gen Z HATE faf! Google/Bing searches? too may results to filter...Just join some forum and ask. No research/time/effort needed. They want it to work. PERIOD, and the popularity of 1000GBP+ phones (Looking at you APPLE) just demonstrates that price and value are completely subjective. Pretty sad really. £600 per year on a phone. £625 on coffee. £2,000 on Juul. £249.99 per month to drive a 'white goods' driving machine. £1000 on subscription music/tv ...and then moan you can't get a mortgage...or your credit card is out of control... It's a form of slavery in a way. Slaves to fashion and selfishness. |

There is definitely a place for devices like that, they are about as hassle free/idiot proof as vaping will ever be, but we really aren't the target audience! Too true. Actually, they should be pleased I think they are a bunch of no-good, shyster company charlatans with a penchant for marketing of the male cow poo variety. The more I wish something is not true, the more often it becomes true. I am sure they will prosper. It'll be up to us old hands to send folk in the right direction.... well those that get off their backsides and actually research vaping a bit more than buying some tobacco company tat from Morrisons or Tesco. ..like the last 5 years then...  |

Here's my comment. Made on ECF yesterday.
hmm... Juul.
Here's what Vaping 360 say. (Yes, them that would sell their own grandmothers for commission)...
... which is a load of baloney.
IF Juul are trying to crack the UK, they have a major problem. It's called the TPD and limits e-liquid to 18mg/ml. (under 20mg)
Now... this means people will need to vape even more pods than elsewhere in the world, which means running costs absolutely off the planet.
..and worst of all... most UK vapers who know their bananas from their apples will simply SHRED any possibility of Juul making any sense from a financial perspective.
It will be criminally expensive. No device with such a pathetic battery life and low power will not satisfy your average 1 PPD smoker, not at 18mg.
So - in the UK the Aspire Breeze 2 makes more sense from every angle. This is what all vapers will be telling non-vapers looking to get started.
So - bad luck Juul. Dream on with your nefarious plans. You ain't fooling the Brits.
Most of us got sick (in more ways than one) of paying $5,000 a year to smoke and are quite happy paying $500 a year to vape.

Yes... I've found it. I REALLY want to like it - such a cutie tank. Can I even remember how to make a 1.0ohm coil? (My wires are all intended for 0.3-0.5)... |

I have a Doggy styled tank and it’s not bad, but I was not wowed by it so have not used it much. Me too. I find it underwhelming in all honesty. I must revisit it ASAP. |

That suits my eye. Beautiful. Maybe a replacement for my struggling Evic VTC mini. Or see what VF has on bargains? Nice find. |

Thank you all. 6 x 10ml for £8.64 That would have been almost £15 at my normal shop. ..leaves djs £6 for football beer! |
