I absolutely love this fella.
His satire and social commentary is bang on the pulse
This time he nails it on how many of us are feeling in the wake of another terrorist attack.

how many points do you get for writing reviews? this site so confusing I got 100 for my 1st review, then I posted another review and got no points. That is all I know. No maybe not, 1st review I was invited by email to do a review on recent purchase and join their review program for points. I received individual links via email to review each of the products I'd purchased so far. So maybe there is something to that regarding the reward points. |

Cheers Lee. Once I get through all this pre-made stuff. I'll have a juice off between Big Juice & Chef's Lemon Tart that ghostrider1971 recommended. Just an added note, I've refilled the Cleito 120 with some of the WFFL Lemon Curd this morning. So far I'm not tasting much of a difference between that and the Dinner Lady. @marks I have most of a 10ml bottle of big juice lemon tart concentrate here if you'd like to try it? Pm me your address and I'll pop it in the post for you when I'm back in work on Tuesday. That is very generous of you to offer pyr0. The thing is I'd imagine it's going to be a good 12 months at least before I need to mix anything again, so It's probably better off being used by yourself if you actually do use it? If not, then yes please. I'll happily compensate you for the cost & postage. |

After receiving my Pico from the thread amygx posted. I am now seriously tempted by the Pico Squeeze. If I buy that then I'll need one or two decent bottom fed RDA's. Aside from that will probably need around another dozen batteries. |

Update on this tank to add that compared to a Kangertech sub/top tank the Ni TC coils are streets ahead.
Probably tempting fate here but the Ni coils have not missed a beat so far.
This is the first time I've used any Sub Tank in TC mode where the Ni coils are just as good if not better than the standard Nicr coils in wattage mode.

MarkS - I strongly recommend the Tatre au citroen by Chef's. I like a big lemon hit and a little pastry. Most of the premiums seems high pastry That chef's concentrate, for me, was bang on  Thanks for that. I will definitely give it a try. |

Tried the Dinner Lady lemon tart last night which was so very kindly sent to me by Perpetua . Put it in a Cleito 120, so it didn't last long  Do you need Perpetua to donate more for your taste test 
And was it worth all the hype?
It lasted long enough for a proper taste test. I can see why there is hype about this juice. I liked it. It does taste just like a lemon pie although I'd personally like a little more lemon. I may well go looking for a clone recipe for it to have in my rotation and If it was ever on sale again then I'd grab a bottle or two, but I'd never pay full price for it. |

Dinner Lady Lemon Tart: Lemon Pie Wanted to try this liquid to see what all the hype was about and after missing out on a bottle in the sales. Perpetua kindly sent me a 10ml sample to try. I can see what all the fuss is about with this e-liquid. As it really does taste just like a Lemon Tart you had for school dinners. For my personal taste I'd prefer a little more lemon and because it's a dessert type of e-liquid I couldn't vape it all day. It is a very good juice though. ECO Vape Marathon Milkshake: Chocolate, Caramel, Peanuts, Milk This does taste a bit like a Marathon bar, but I only get that as an after taste. Whilst vaping I get that odd cereal taste that I normally get from many coffee e-liquids I've tried. It's only after a few seconds on the exhale that I get the peanuts and caramel. This is a pretty good juice and I've nearly vaped all the 20ml that I bought.

There's actually 8 airholes on this atty. 4 tiny ones are concealed by the supplied drip tip, i have those blocked with an O-Ring & use the vape band from one of my Aromamizer RDTAs to fine tune the airflow. It's not pretty but it works very well. Like this....  Good tip with the vape band. I've used one of the ones supplied in the box that doesn't have holes in it like your one. Still easy to control the airflow by just sliding the band up or down a touch over the air holes. Improves the tank no end for me. Bargain tank for the price and wish I'd bought another in stainless now. |

Aw damn! I just ordered 4 Joyetech items  I'm sure HC will be in contact Lynne77 as they have been with others who also did the same as you have, or you could open a ticket . . . . . I think a refund or a swap for something else was offered. And yes, I also noticed the shipping had increased a little Mark, not enough to deter a Professional Bargain Shopper though! It's definitely a mod you won't be to bothered losing that's for sure. Never noticed about the USB, but now you mention it you're right. I think that description must be confused with the smaller 70w mod which does have a USB port with a dust cover. The lack of a USB is another reason to be disappointed with the 150w, where as the 70w mod has been impressing me all day for what it is. I actually quite like this device, even though it's no looker . . . . simply because it's so easy to change to TC mode with that dial and as I've several tanks now that have come with TC coils, it will save me having to search the internet to find out how to do that on the other stuffs I've got. Some I don't find very straightforward at all, doubtless that's me. And the batteries are easy enough to swap out, the Mini Book gosh did I have problems trying to get batteries in! Not that I'm carping, absolutely thrilled with all the lovely bargain equipment I've bought.  On closer inspection with the shipping I think they may have just removed the cheapest option and not actually increased it as such. Although you're right it doesn't deter a bargain hunter. Hitting the free shipping threshold makes some of the items ridiculously cheap, especially if you have some points to use too. I'm being overly mean to the VPark 150W because you're right the menu system and wheel function make this probably the easiest TC mod I've ever used. It's the same menu & function as it's smaller 70W sister. Which as I said above is a cracking little-ish device for peanuts. The 150W still looks like it was knocked together in someones metal work class though.  Lynne77 Glad they got in touch and you're getting it sorted out. |

My goodies arrived today, unsurprisingly incredibly well wrapped. One ikkle, ok quite big, issue but it isn't really Health Cabin's fault. I ordered the VPark 150s as the listing said they had a USB port and it turns out that the box/VPark site describe a 'dust-proof design for USB port'. Not having one makes it pretty darn dust-proof! I don't think I'm being slow and missing it somewhere on the device, I've seen reviews and listings with other vendors that mention the lack of USB. Oops! They seem sturdy enough and will serve their purpose as beaters at VF/on nights out though It's definitely a mod you won't be to bothered losing that's for sure. Never noticed about the USB, but now you mention it you're right. I think that description must be confused with the smaller 70w mod which does have a USB port with a dust cover.
