Yikes!!! I can't believe it - lots going on in my life and stuff - but I

I really meant to drop in and check Tang was OK

I have just slapped myself with a wet fish!!

Glad they all sorted you out Tang ........

I am now (like MM) - totally out of date with all the new generation stuff - and still happily using a RN4081.

:-[

Hope it all goes well for you!!

Yep - do you want me to tell you

Water is kept clean and bacteria free by the addition of chlorine - which isn't stable in water. In standing water it dissipates within 24 hours - after which the water becomes unsafe to drink.

Boiling will usually kill most bugs - but there are other issues with water from the header tank.

If you want to know what they are - lift the lid on the loo cystern and take a peak. See all that green slime round the edges? Basically the tank never empties - and thus the water is not fresh.

Further, unless your header tank has a lid on it - living things that access your attic could find it a useful place to drown ........



In case anyone wonders - one of my previous jobs was working for a water company. One of our "stories" was of an office in a large building where the staff filled the kettle from the cold water basins in the loos.

They kept getting sick - and narrowed it down to the water. Eventually after much investigation by the Water co (who had established it was safe at point of entry to the building) - someone checked the header tank - which was on the roof.

The lid had come off in a storm and there was a dead pigeon in it.



This is a summary warning to only use water from the taps which say "drinking water" on them when you are in large buildings. They are the ones fed directly from the mains - and that water is safe to drink.

Yikes - Chrissie - I keep looking at Meccano's thread and thinking .....

"That is soooooooooooooo going to get padlocked when James gets back to work"

So I bet your heart stopped when you saw the email......

Pleased to see Clutter here and just to add that you don't have to get addicted to buying all the gizmos!!

I am still quite happy vaping the super - which is what I started on.

I did experiment with juices in the early days - found 4 or 5 I like - and now continue to use them.

As for the "chain vaping" thing....

I used to chain smoke when on the PC - now I chain vape and simply use mostly glycerine when I'm doing it.


Anyway - Happy New Year!

Wotsit - if you are addicted to the exhale - you need to track down some glycerine.

It produces clouds of vapour.....


I buy mine in my local chemist - just off the shelf - though many people buy it in supermarkets.

Make sure you are getting 100% glycerine without additives.....


As for flavours - you can buy them in the juices - or buy separately (for example the Lorann range - designed as food flavourings).

Be careful to avoid the ones based on oils - as they can clog up your atomisers.....

Some suppliers do little multi-packs of different flavour juices to sample - and those are a good idea. You don't want to get stuck with 30ml of juice in a flavour you hate.

I haven't forgotten this - still thinking about it.
