Once you settle in (sounds like you've already been there years lairey  ) check with the guys at work if they're familiar with the latest pressure groups being set up by vapers and small vaping shops : NNA for vapers, and the small business version of ECITA, Viri. The latter, showcased on VTTV this week, is a group of retailers who can't afford the ton of cash required to sign up to ECITA, who are sharing knowledge & making a voice for themselves in vaping advocacy. ECITA may also be about to grant them some sort of associate membership so they can collectively benefit from ECITA's work. |

I'm sooo tempted to remod my Hammond 1590b to incorporate squonkage, but it's working so well as it is that it does not want me ham-fistedly mangling it A DNA40 squonker is a superb idea though, looking forward to the outcome of your ministrations @windows. |

Ooh lairey does this mean you'll be the other side of a counter at VF15? Look forward to buying some of your goodies! |

Cats are ace, sorry though to hear that your moggy had a good play with the atty that resulted in it taking a bath  I recently had an atty take a swim in the bog, even after a cursory wash under the tap it tasted a bit... off. Ended up dismantling it and putting it through a cycle in the wibbly water machine (ultrasonic cleaner). Take it from me, vaping heavily diluted piss is not something to aspire to  |

Quiet in here  I'm having a modding holiday Two working home made DNA40s doing the biz for me. Though tooting on one at home while the other slowly trickle charges (don't like popping batteries out too much, it weakens the connector, so my paranoia tells me) is a little unnerving, first world problems are soooo annoying. I might knock up a third sometime soon for a triumvirate of temperature control. Well that must have been a hubris moment for me, cos I'm now down to 1 DNA40 device again! The latest build, based on a Hana clone box, was doing some weird shorting such that the batteries would run down from 100% to naff all in a very short space of time, so I started today to dismantle it with a view to resoldering joints, checking connections were good and patching any poor ones, that sort of thing. Literally got to the stage of resetting the sled back in the box and found it wouldn't, one part of the board wasn't properly seated, so gave it a tug to remove the board and ... pop went the OLED. Argggh! It's sitting in the Dead Things Zone (TM) for now while I fulminate and toot on the sturdy, reliable, huge as shit Hammond mod. Just ordered a Hcigar HB DNA40 after viewing Todd's review of it, comes in at just shy of £93 including P&P and VAT. I'll no doubt get another board or OLED and reassemble the Hana mod, but today I'm all modded out. |

A draconian 86% sales tax on ALL vaping products was about to be put into in law, but it has now been removed from the bill. Go Utah vapers! |

Yeah, looked just now and cloud9 have it in stock... guess I'm still traumatised from lacking DDL when it's used in so many yum recipes (I get through Banoffee like it's water lol).

There's a very pleasant GVC ' clone ' recipe if any of you are mixers and fancy giving it a punt.
GVC CLONECapella Vanilla Custard 18% Dulche de Leche 2% French Vanilla Deluxe 4% Sweetener 1% Dulce de Leche has been as rare as hens teeth recently Perpetua, actually makes me wonder if ground hens teeth would work in place? |

Update, the replacement insulators arrived yesterday. I haven't got round to coiling up the RBA yet, but look forward to it.

My work vape is an istick/aerotank mini. Lunchtimes and at home I generally go for the dna40/subtank, though one of my several KFLs with a drilled out airhole has had a resurgence in usage. It's all good |

Still makes him a reviewer in it for the money though doesn't it? Impartiality is suspect in someone who demands an equity share for reviewing products on his app.

"If he is paid in cash to promote a product fine" sure. But do not put yourself up as an impartial reviewer doing it. Companies do that, it's called commercials. Even if he put a disclaimer in front of his videos "SPONSORED BY <maker>" that would be enough.
And quit the personal insults, it shows how shallow your argument is.
