Ordered some mesh & wire from them a day or two ago - looking forward to finding out if I've got some free goodies in with my order too!  |

Thanks for all the tips & links!
Don't have a bench grinder unfortunately so will have a rummage around to see what grades of wet n dry I've got lying around. Just right for a little Saturday DIY job.
Will post results back!

Though I'd try my hand at polishing up my Sirius mod to go from a brushed finish to a shiny fingerprintophile finish. I have a little erzatz-Dremel tool with some felt(?) polishing bits as well as some polishing compound from here: www.thepolishingshop.co.uk/acatalog/Polishing_Compounds_180gm_Half_Round_Bar.html (the grey Menzerna at the top). Gave it a go last night - It's worked great on the brass bottom cap but the SS tube was all but unaffected. It is now shinier, having removed the lightest of the scratches/grooves from the brushing, but there remains a lot more to grind away before it gets smooth. I gave it a good few minutes under the Dremel in a small area so my assumption is that I'm doing something wrong. Should I be using a coarser compound? A stiffer polishing material? |

Will the aga glass fit on the rsst....I'm curious as I can't stand plastic tanks Unfortunately not - the tank is the same shape as the AC9's, more of a doughnut shaped liquid holder than a tube. |

(...) plastic tank (same design)instead of glass not as solid but a pretty good clone by all accounts . Isn't the AC9 tank made out of plastic too? (some kind of ridiculously expensive space-age plastic) |

Ordered yesterday lunchtime from ECW & my RSST got here about an hour ago:     Apologies for poor quality phone camera shots - and yes, the drip tip came with it. The top cap walls are pretty thin and the whole thing feels pretty lightweight. A quick inspection hasn't revealed any horrors in the build quality and I quite like the looks. More thoughts hopefully this evening if I get time to set it up! |

They are called Niccups  Generally too high a nic level does it, especially just after eating. Some days I can even get them from 18mg, 24mg is very likely to cause niccups. That's exactly what some of my friends have been calling them! |

Looking forward to seeing how this one pans out!
From the pics I can't see how it would convert to a genesis style atty though, unless one of the terminals unscrews?

Yep, happens to me too every now and again, especially when I'm chain vaping. I also get the hiccups when I eat very spicy food - wonder if the 2 are related...

Despite the fact that my boss is now a grateful vaper (although he only ever smoked/vapes in the evening) I do still go outside to vape.
Firstly because some juices do leave a bit of an odour behind - not so much the dessert/sweet flavours I'm onto nowadays but the cherry pipe I made the mistake of vaping at my desk for a few days when I got into e-cigs certainly left a lingering musty pipe baccy smell.
Secondly because he doesn't like the idea of me vaping in the office when there are potentially clients coming in.
He also found that the second hand vapour can leave a bit of a dry sensation at the back of his throat and suspects it has caused him a few headaches (the 5 others don't, strangely enough).
Honestly, I don't mind going out for a vape. It's an aspect of smoking that I always liked - it's the perfect excuse to stretch my legs for a few minutes and clear my mind. I'm sure that alone increases my productivity (however I do go out more often to vape than I used to go out for a smoke).

Fantastic! Will be ordering a couple of those displays as soon as I've had a chance to make sure there's nothing else on that site that I can't possibly live without...
Also - why do you have a drip tip in the Nova in your first photo? :-)

Yes, experimenting required!
My plan: test juice for acidity, add malic acid until PH neutral (or maybe slightly acidic), add magic mask to hide the taste of the malic acid.
