For hands that do dishes that feel soft as your face... use mild green Fairy Liquid!*

*unless your face is like this :

Running low on veg glycerin, my natural instinct was to order some more from a vape shop online but... why not try a pharmacy instead? And there it was, 200 ML for £1.39 at Boots! Trip down the road and half an hour later, 3 bottles obtained, did feel a bit like a druggie scoring a fix when walking in at first though.

I do like to support vape shops when possible, but the amount of VG I get through the low cost option has to come first

My DNA40s (not just one of em) have developed this odd behaviour. "Weak battery" reports on a newly charged, not ancient battery. When the atty is removed, pulsing gradually increases the battery meter back to full, then putting the atty back on it plunges straight back to 0. Apologies for crap focus, hopefully you can see the power bar on the mod.

People have reported great results with wibbly water machines when a drop of vodka or isopropyl alcohol is added to the water. Trouble is you pour a glass of voddy for yourself, add a teaspoon of vodka to the bath, take another drink, forget what you were doing, add a teaspoon to the bath, have another drink, bath the teaspoon, pour another, bath the teaspoon in the vodka, take a glug, spoon the bath in the bath... zzzzz

I don't burn test but have a habit after each new coil build of measuring its resistance on a cheapo resistance tester, like this one. Reason being if the DNA40 or other TC mod reads the resistance too high, it can send out the wrong power level for the coil, which can mean burning or cooking the juice. Case in point, a new coil he other day came in at .22 ohms on the Chinameter and the DNA40 it was popped on (Hcigar) read it at middle .3s. The fix in this case was to tighten up one of the earth bond screws inside the DNA40, after which the ohms reading came in much more sensibly.

It came back to life; in the most unexpected way. The firmware installed is 1.10, coincidentally that was something I checked a few days back after looking at a review (pbusardo or rip) which showed how to display the version. The latest firmware on the joyetech site was 1.10. However I reasoned that a re-flash might reset whatever had gone awry and downloaded the image. Next step was to link the vt via usb to the computer, which was a bust as the PC didn't recognise it as a new device (Windows 10). However it did show signs of charging off the usb port. But more surprisingly, it was then firing correctly. AND instead of reading full battery, the evic battery meter dropped to about 50%. So whatever weirdness it had experienced was involving the charging circuitry.

Got the Titanium-coiled Erlikongen on it now and it's working ok. Only does a 3 to 4 second draw before hitting TC, an issue with the coil I believe. At least it's not totally borked. Thanks everyone for your input.

Always laugh at this one
