How is your Dad doing siffyHas he got anything yet? Getting it on Saturday:) Was on the phone to the Bolton branch for him today (in the middle of my battery fiasco!) And they will do him two spinnervtype batteries, 2 clearomisers, case, juice, charger and plug socket for £60. Dad is happy with that, it is local, I am miles away so he feels he can nip back there as and when he needs a product or advise. So am pleased about that, he's happy so I'm happy;)

Yayyyy i have that book ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) i saw it a few weeks ago while on Amazon looking for Kindle books & thought how handy that would be, me being me though bought 3 one each for my daughter & son & their families & one for our house, must admit though i haven't tried any of the recipes as been too busy learning as much as i can about vaping ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Oh I love my books, use them instead of paying through the nose for a Saturday night take away. I love Sundays as I make the Maccyd's sausage or bacon mccmuffin sandwich. Will postvthat tomorrow if anyone wants it.

Sorry about that..lol so...
Place the sliced onions in a bowl of cold water for around 30 mins, drain well through a sieve and pat them dry.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced onion, grated carrot, sliced cucumber, sliced cabbage leaves, shredded lettuce and slice tomato.
Add the lemon juice and mix well. Dress with red kebab sauce and garnish with jalapeno peppers.
The Red Kebab Sauce: serves 1 person.
6 tbsp tomato ketchup 4 tbsp water 1 tsp mint sauce Chilli powder to taste Pinch of salt.
And there you go, so yummy and very easy now we know how;)

Just had to have a check in the mirror, not much change, still look like I was made last thing on a Friday afternoon ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I would love to check and to have changed into....a Audery Hepburn, or Liz Taylor alike, will just go and check. Sadly no, still as they say , there's always tomorrow.

Afternoon all. So, went to the Liberty Flights shop in Stockport today. Helpful lass behind the counter let me try her spinner with a standard clearomiser. I was impressed, so will be buying this evening. Also let me try some liquids in store. Found a tobacco flavour that I liked, and was surprised that I also liked the strawberry menthol too.. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Thanks again for all of your help. Will let you know how things go when it all arrives ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Brilliant news. The shops are great for trying things out aren't they? I don't have one in my area, but like you my dad wentvto one yesterday and is now sold on the idea. I have got a cherry menthol, I will add the strawberry mentholnto my list, which is getting bigger, and bigger.. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

the problem with what you're waiting for could be down to Royal Fail oops Mail, your order will definitely come i wouldn't worry too much about it, why don't you try emailing James he answered me within a couple of hours when i had to email him a couple of weeks ago & it would put your mind at rest ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Yes, once I could getvon his site (it was unavailable during my panic fiasco, can you imagine! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) it said to contact him if orders where taking toonlong, he was having issues with RM. I emailed him, so just waiting for a reply.

Hello everybods, thanks for the greetings & helpful advice. Receiving the 'eGo' tomorrow (ebay 'pipedreams-uk'). I have half a dozen juices ready to try. I never actually sampled the 'Elites' but people I know that have are now back on the fags, not much of a recommendation in my view as my aim is freedom from slavery to the weed ! Six years ago I stopped for six months aided by the 'Champix' pills. But I found I missed the camararderie that exists amongst fellow snoutcasts. Especially as I spend a lot of time in Ireland where the liveliest bar in any PH is the smoking area (don't know if that's down to the nicotine, the black stuff or maybe a combination. Hopefully my new gizmo will save me missing out on all the 'craic' ![*cheers*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/Vx6QECqQADBpqG6ddJje.gif) . @ SIFFY sounded earlier today like she was climbing up the walls, :'(would that be frustration or withdrawal symptoms ? ![shock2](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/1YqoRCsUjXb9ZJVPLgFh.gif) . I ask because I wonder if I might be swapping one addiction for another. Hiya Frankie, oh climbing the walls I was. To be honest was more frustrated as it would have been my second battery broken in less than a week, turns out it wasn't, thank goodness. I think in the nicotine aspect of it then yes I am addicted, only been off the cigs two weeks. I also have no plans to stop vaping, it might happen that I reduce my intake but have no desire to stop vaping. It did cross my mind to have a you know what, but I didn't, and would have bought some of the pants elites. I think I probably have just swapped one addiction for another, but like my hubby said at leastvthis one is safer , you don't stink and doesn't bleed our bank account dry every month;)

Only just got chance to log in today been busy with work & shopping, Siffy so glad everything ok now for you & just to set the record straight i'm one of those 'theres always one' types haha if something can go wrong it will do for me so you're far from being alone, over the last few weeks i have many times gone to take a drag of my pv (riva) & thought hmmmm not much taste there i know the battery is not flat ![oumck2](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/4vyltpxwR66LBM1v4E9F.gif) then realised i hadn't pressed the button to take a drag lol oh & i have ordered a couple of times from Paradise Vape they are quite good so no worries there, included with my items from there i have had a 5 ml sample of juice which is a nice touch ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Oh yes, very nice touch;) Once the spares come I will feel more relaxed. Funny too, as today during the panic carry on Ivthought, for the first time that I need a stinkie. Only been off them two weeks so not suprised really. I didn't and would have just had to trail to Tesco for the pants elites, as much as I thought they where pants I would have needed something. I keep ringing Jason from paradise vape but no answer, must be busy. If they don't arrive tomorrow I'll ring again.

Siffy, if it makes you feel better - when my first kit arrived, I charged up the batteries (egos), then went to try vaping and nothing happened. It was the same with both of them. Argh, I thought, so phoned e-smokeireland to tell them nothing worked. It was then that they told me I had to hold the button down to vape - doh! Three months later, and I order a 306 dripper from them. The next morning, 'it' arrives, but looks nothing like the 306 on their website - so I email them saying they must have sent me the wrong thing (it looked like the 510 dripper on the site) - no problem, they say, our mistake, we'll send you out a 306 instead. The next day, it arrives, and again, it looks like a 510. I get back in touch. 'Have you tried taking the drip tip off?' they ask. 'Drip tip?' says I. 'Yeah, the black bit'. Ah. Erm. I pull it off (didn't realise it was a drip tip) and there is the 306 in all its glory. I think they dread getting orders from me now ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) It's a learning experience! Oh thanks, glad it's not just me. They say there's always one!, that one always flamming ends up being me. I did the same with the spinner, rang up as it wasn't coming on, I wasn't doing my 5 press quick enough..doh. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Aaaaannnddddd - rrrreeeeelllllaaaaaxxxxxx!!! Blimey siffy, you had me on the edge of my seat as I read this thread just now! Glad you have got back onto a more even keel, and not resorted to the stinkies. Think I better check I took my BP pill this morning ![*very happy*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/uD_72Dmxi7jcIDWZ_KNH.gif) Andy Oh Andy was like a ruddy film, Carry On Vaping. I don't take BP pills.....yet, carry myself on like this and it won't be long. So glad it was a false alarm.

You absolutely have to try xxx softmint from The Alchemist's Cupboard and don't forget to use the discount codes whenever you buy online! I will treat myself to this soon, I looked at that site last night as someone posted the link for a kit, when I'm ready to have a go at making my own juice. Which will be a good few months yet.
