Thanks gunjack. Crickey I am a self confessed vaping dinosaur lol. Not quite LOL I am and I'll stick in my advice, please remember what works for one is not for another, it's personal, depends on so many things, juice, watts and do I have time. I'm over 7 years into vaping, Boges work in both 35 & 45 mm tanks for me, suits the old style juice I enjoy, gives me no hassle (new carto every 3-5 days depending on size and if it gone off, some still fail after one hour but thats rare). You unfortunatly also have to try whats suggested here because some things work better for others, I like protank 3's, took 4 on holiday, with loads of heads, they came back in same zippo, no time to fill and sort when my Boges were working. Out of interest I run 2,8 ohm boges at 9.5 w with 12mg juice suits me. Its all experiments to suit you. MP

I've found this all very interesting mart166...although I'll never be able to go Gill I do not want to know why you cannot ever go, only advise this. If you a nervous flyer, you can get over it (nothing please from people who dont mind flying), I was terrible, before 2001 a filght was maybe, maybe not. I ended up one day at Heathrow, booked first class, standing at plane door and staff gave me 20 seconds to decide if i'd get on or not, as they shut it i squeezed through, it was that bad with me. But I had to take a decison, I still hate it, but you switch off brain and live with it, at worse it's few hours out of life, I still hate it though but get there. I'm amazed i've seen things that 10 years ago would have said no chance of ever doing that. MP And PS to anyone, yes i'm a racing car driver, people think it's weird I could not fly, that was the reason I had to overcome it.

mart166 as unclegromit said the next meet will be on 12th December at the same place. That was the earliest date after September that they had available, even though I booked it way back in June ! Arrrrghhh scream !!!!!!!!!!!! We wont be there, be flying back from Iceland (country not store), dam dam. Mind you after stress of last week I might arrange a meet in the City of London Cematary, feel thats where i'm heading, nice venue but dead at nights, boom boom. You know it's a bad week when stress levels get you ill, thats side issue, your good reliable Istick manages at last to do the thread, well it's owner did in frustration, your brand new Istick, 10 months old but unused, decides battery life is 2 hours max, and all your backup devices are exactly that because you wore them out and threw in draw !!!! I nearly bought a cigalike Saturday, but got through it without being that desperate lol. MP

An istick 20 with tank (unusual tanks normaly I empty before boarding planes,) but this one had juice and due to problems did not get emptied, no leaks, so it got bolted back on to replace boge carto I put in place for flight, stealth was as usual no sign of vapour, but got nudged by partner after several whiskeys that some vapour was leaking lol.
We had so many problems with flight, despite cabin crew being nice, I would have done it anyway, new thread soon, problems with BA lol

ian16I forgot to add, make sure you got warm coat, San Francisco weird, each district has micro climates, it can be 85 F at your hotel and 45 F in next district, this is particularly true for Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park or the beach where Baywatch is filmed, we froze with jackets, same applies for mountain areas at night. For sightseeing we used these, very helpful and next door is shop selling clothing at reasonable prices (do not expect them to last long) City Sightseeing San Francisco Anchorage Shopping Center 2800 Leavenworth St #14 San Francisco, CA 94133 United States Anything else i can help with drop me a PM MP

Hi mart166, hope you had a good trip; we are off to California in just over 2 weeks so will bear your observations in mind. We are staying in Napa, Yosemite, Monteray Bay then onto San Francisco where I've found there is a vaping store a mile from our hotel there so that's my retail therapy sorted I concur with you regarding the fuel gauges on American cars: last year we were driving from Key West to Sanibel in a Ford Explorer which had a digital fuel gauge. We were on the outskirts of Miami with the gauge showing quarter of a tank and the wife didn't want to come off the freeway as she thought the area was a bit rough. "We'll just get out of Miami then fill up" she says as we pass yet another sign for fuel as the digital gauge starts glowing orange. Onwards a few more miles and we see a sign- next gas station 51 miles! It wasn't long before the gauge turned red and it was one of the longest 50 miles I've ever done as the gauge seemed to be dropping quicker than Volkswagen's share price! Eventually the petrol station came into view and I filled it right up and reckoned we still had a gallon left when we pulled in to fill up- though I'll never take that chance again. One tip I'd add is if you have to return the car back with a full tank do it a few miles from the rental return station especially if near an airport- the ones near Miami were charging over a dollar more a gallon than the ones on the outskirts,though still cheap by our standards. Thanks for your message Ian, i'm sure you'll have a great time, just check beforehand your accomadation in Napa, thats an area thats had devestating fires, it was on the news every day, 10's of thousands displaced from homes, it's terrible. We went through Napa valley as bit of a diversion (quater of an inch on map, 200 miles extra through winding mountain roads in real terms, but great). And do not expect good wines, even though in the biggest wine growing area in USA unless you like Chardonay (we hate it). San Francisco is fantastic, ignore following if been before, if you want to go to Alcatraz book it now, was a five day wait for tickets when we were there, and was only there 4 days ! but we conned our local tour bus company to get us tickets, cost us $12 extra but worth it. Must also take a cable car, we took the one that if you have your back to Fishermans Wharf it's slightly to the left, take from begining to end (Union Square), you'll get a slow roller coaster ride thats great, sorry cannot give no more details as I still not unpacked properly and lots of details still in travel bag. Also take one of the tour buses, gives a good insight to the city, and can use the tickets for just getting around. Also if eating in the Italian quarter, everyone recomends Tony's, best pizzas in world, one and a half hours wait when we turned up so cannot comment, but avoid like the plauge the nice looking resturant on next corner where I stormed out after half hour and our order being taken 3 times, one i can recomend is if you head out from Tony's back onto Columbus Ave, turn left its about 6 shops along, live jazz, good prices, great food, just do not ask for salt, that confused them !! Yosemite is nice, but huge, it's $30 to get in, but that gives you 7 days entry, do not expect to see much wildlife unless your hiking, we saw 2 deer and millions of chipmunks, one unfortunatly met our tyre of rental car, silly little sod. And make sure you got fuel, its few and far between, if you cross it to the far east give Mono lakes a look, the drive down to it incredible. One more thing, if your booked into the "unsigned hotel" in Monterey bay change your booking now, the place is a complete dump. I'll add one more tip to yours regarding fueling, not relavant to you, but fuel is $1 a gallon cheaper in Nevada to California (after 300 miles $15 filled me to brim for car return, if only like that in UK lol). Have fun MP
