MY first thought when I saw the headline was 'does he live in Ireland?'. Out here in the wild West we get quite a few power cuts - mostly in the winter when the wind is howling round the house. The year before we moved here (1999) there was a 3 day power cut which started on Christmas Day - am really glad I missed that one, since we don't have access to mainline gas either, so our cooker is electric. It's funny how quiet everything feels when the power's off - that background hum of the computers is more noticeable when it's gone. I've boiled water in an old saucepan over an open fire before now, and made toast the same way. It really does give you the feel of how people used to live - electricity only arrived here in 1954, so it's not a very long time ago. The husband and I sit here and talk or play card games when the power goes off - it's not easy to read by candlelight, though a fully charged Kindle always helps!

We get water cuts too - again, usually in December - those are harder to deal with 'cos of the loo, but there's a natural spring just up the road we can use if things get desperate! (To fill the cistern, I mean, not to 'use'! )

I'm not really into collecting 'gear' as such (though between us, after only a few weeks my husband and I now have 7 eGo batteries and 14 clearos) - what we have works well, although I think I'm switching to Kanger Protanks from now on - the MT3s and T3s I have tend to leak intermittently, which the Protank doesn't, so far. I'd also like a few 'tarted up' batteries - girlier looking ones than the plain black and SS we have. Other than that, I'm not bothered about collecting more 'stuff'. My interest lies with juices and flavourings - I really enjoy trying out new (to me) flavours, and I have a few ideas for mixes that I've not seen anywhere for sale - there could be a good reason for that of course - anyone fancy honeysuckle, rose and apple?

People have different preferences - some like airier vapes than others, some like something that churns out loads of vapour, some want batteries that last for days between charges. Some people have more disposable income than others, too! If you're happy with what you're using, there's no real need to look for anything else - although I'm a sucker for coloured things, clearos especially!

Am also jealous - and broke! Birthday in June, am going to start making Provari noises now

Hiya, congrats on finding the friendliest forum there is Not been here very long myself, but it's like home already - lovely people!

LOVE this, am going to get one for the husband

p.s. where can I buy one? lol

Hello yoda and welcome! You've had some great advice above Hope it goes well for you!

My tastebuds have gone on strike today. Seems I can't taste anything - even my tobacco mint just feels cool rather than having a flavour. I've tried drinking lemonade (which sometimes works), cleaning my teeth, brushing my tongue, and rinsing my mouth out with Listerine, and still nothing. Can't even taste the vanilla custard, and that usually cuts through anything! Grrr! Going to have a glass or two of home made wine in a while, and see if that clears the mouth out a bit (it's a bit potent!). Very annoying, as I have 3 new (to me) flavours here I want to try, but not a lot of point right now.
