There are genuinely enough vapers in the UK that if we all put Vapology on the census it would become be given its own code in the religion section of the census records Brother cl0wnAll hail The Cloud (Don't forget to capitalize the almighty Cloud.) They did put Jedi in haha Exactly and that was only between 600,000 and 700,000 people not sure on the exact numbers but it made it into the top 5 religions on the 2001 census. |

If I could understand it I would give an appropriate response... But in the theme of things here goes nothing. I think you shed wee it and hop for the breast that you dot bump into anything you now since she has gone two the time and effect to made it four yew Think I nailed the Ipad language there  No but seriously if you really don't feel you can wear it then it would be best to let her down gently and maybe come up with something to wear and show her that before you tell her you don't want to wear what she has made because it's a bit much for you? |

To be fair they haven't got a right to refuse sale based on health grounds. I don't think any supermarkets do actually sell VG but if boots (or any other pharmacy) asked you what you were using the VG for, you have every right to tell them it's none of their business since it is an item readily available without a prescription and isn't stored behind the counter. Also if you did tell them it was for making your own e liquid they still have no grounds to refuse sale since it isn't an illegal activity. If for whatever reason they decided to refuse to sell you VG I would ask to speak to the manager, if that didn't resolve the issue then they wouldn't be getting my custom anymore. The other way of doing it is order online www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-LITRE-VEGETABLE-GLYCERINE-EP-FOOD-COSMETIC-GRADE-KOSHER-/161112924693?pt=UK_BOI_Medical_Lab_Equipment_Lab_Supplies_ET&hash=item2583142215 £1.17 per 200ml plus free shipping Not strictly true jordan, as small bottles of Dr Oetker glycerine are to be found in the bakery aisles of most large supermarkets: www.oetker.co.uk/oetker_uk/our_product_range/home_baking_range/baking_ingredients/ingredients/glycerine.htmlAn expensive way to purchase if you're ' mixing ' but fine for occasional dilution exercises. There was a time when Chemists got very mardy if you asked to buy VG or PG, so I guess the hesitation stems from past attitudes. If saying that it's for Aromatherapy purposes avoids creating a scene, then it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Though most chemists have their VG stocks on open display with the cough medicines, so the issue doesn't even arise. My apologies Perpetua I overlooked the glycerine in the bakery section since it's very expensive for a very small quantity but you are of course right that they do sell VG (smarty pants!) |

This raises an interesting question you may be able to answer - what do we say if asked awkward questions about using VG bought from a pharmacy? I asked in our local big Tesco, but they didn't stock it so that avoided that one, but I'm a bit reluctant to say it's for my e-cig juice in case they refuse it 'on health grounds'! Aromatherapy has already been mentioned, and kiddy coughs - are there any other uses we could quote? In the back of my head somewhere there's a little voice saying something about icing for cakes - does this ring a bell with anyone!? To be fair they haven't got a right to refuse sale based on health grounds. I don't think any supermarkets do actually sell VG but if boots (or any other pharmacy) asked you what you were using the VG for, you have every right to tell them it's none of their business since it is an item readily available without a prescription and isn't stored behind the counter.

Tesco pharmacy happily sold me some amber glass dropper bottles at 16p (ish if I recall correctly) and I had a conversation with the woman behind the counter about what I wanted them for. Told her they were for mixing e liquid into, and we then got talking about how much cheaper it is to mix your own, turns out she has a few relatives using basic ego setups so I told her to send her relatives over to the forums if they needed help with anything. Moral of the story, not all big name stores are going to refuse to sell you mixing equipment if they know its for making juice |

Ok so another suggestion then, I know you want VV but if you vape at 7.5W a 1.9 ohm coil will start at around 9w on a fully charged battery, running down to about 6.8w when you get to 3.6v (which is when I change my batteries) on a mech. www.modsandatties.com/en/home/34-sigelei-8w-mod.html I have this mod and can't reccomend it enough, it never misfires, its an absolute doddle to take the switch apart if you need to (changing the spring etc) and it has an adjustable pin. Well under budget and so long as you check your heads on the vamo first to make sure there are no shorts, the batteries you have will be fine until you can pick up some IMR or some 18500's and a kick. Personally I can tell when my battery gets to about 3.6v but when I first started using a mech I was testing the voltage of the batteries in my vamo every couple of hours just to be on the safe side while I got used to where the drop off point was for recharging. Hopefully this makes sense to you since its nearly 1 am I'm not at my most coherent =p |

jordan - I have 3 x 18650 3200mah Panasonics which power my Vamo(s) - they are only 6 months old so should do a few more months yet, as they are used in rotation every 3 days or so. My budget is about £30 all-in, so you can see that I am restricted in my choice of mod! Thanks for the suggestion of the adaptor - honestly I;m not at all sure that there is enough thread left to accept the adaptor, let alone a Protank! May be worth spending a few quid to see it it is a short-term fix  If the adapter from Jeff works I would suggest the nemesis mod from FT, or pay a bit more and get it from the UK. As far as I'm aware LT ecigs and modsandatties both sell the nem clone for about £10 more than fasttech so around the £30 mark. Then you can save up for a kick if you feel you need one. What wattage do you usually vape at on your vamo? And do you recoil your own protank heads? Sorry if it feels like I'm bombarding you with questions, just trying to think of a fallback plan if the adapter doesn't fix the issue |

Also what sort of budget are you looking at? And what batteries do you currently own (18350,18500,18650) Since there are very few reasonably priced mechs out there that can take 18650+kick and you already said you don't like changing batteries every few hours =p

This is only a short term fix and it depends entirely on how bad the threads are but have you considered getting a 510-510 adapter, once its screwed in you wont be putting any more strain on the threads since you will be screwing tanks into the adapter instead, sure it will cause a gap but they are cheap as chips and you can then order something from fasttech without having to worry about not having something to vape while you wait, or save up for something from the uk.

Is it possible that the ukv server has been hacked if members of admin/mods weren't notified?

Pinning posts, banners at the top of the page and the occasional e mail from various forums including UKV regarding petitions. These things I have no problem with as they save me having to find out where to sign petitions, provide a framework and suggestions on how best to contact your MP etc. I think this publicity stunt shutting down the forum to try and convince the apathetic to sign is going to have opposite the intended effect. Give someone the information and it is then their choice to make an informed decision, stick it down their throat and chances are they will ignore it completely.

Actually scratch the vip packages. The website is misleading, it looks like its £600 for 2 people in the vip camping area, but it doesn't tell you that you need to add extras to that so its actually closer to £1000. I'm gonna stick to the £215 weekend+camping ticket lol. If anyone else is thinking of going we could all meet up for some drinks.
