I do a lot of pot holing so were a torch on my head but my torch is about knackered and I don't think I dare look around fasttech at the moment I bought one of these, ronaldo £6.55!! Even includes an adaptor for 3x AAA You *know* you want one...   Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on |

Hi vinny41, welcome to the friendly forum! I have to agree with the people above who recommended the VTR: Rugged, easy to use and attractive (in a chunky sort of way; I think of it as the Yorkie bar of mod's  ) I have to admit it's a bit of a pocket-stretcher, though. |

I was a light smoker about 100 to 150g of golden vergina a week got a cheapo ecig for work then after looking on here a itaste vv3 and have dropped to about 5 erm er cigs a day but prob less than one roll up a day Did not start vapeing to give up smoking but has almost ended up that way and less fag ash in the car  Blimey, decoy - that's almost an ounce a day, in old money  I went from about 50 (unfiltered!) rollups a day to zero - easy-peasy lemon squeezy. Mind you, over 2 years later I still vape at 36mg... I was going to comment on your 'golden vergina' but better not, ladies present, let's call it a typo  |

I've just started my first RA mix (20%) today, and it's *lush* I might try it with a few drops of menthol, then it'll be just like cherry Tunes Thanks for the heads up, guys (& gals) |

I live in Batley Carr/Hanging Heaton Borders. Batley's tourist board (Mr & Mrs Eric Ramsbotham) came up with the catchiest slogan ever: "Welcome to Sunny Batley - Your Last Resort."Kinda snappy |

By 'eck, robby - I can't tell you how much dosh I've (ahem) invested in shiny tackle just to avoid that  (Not to mention cotton wool, micro coils, tiger coils, S/S wicks (still my favourite!), Kanthal x3, Kanthal ribbon, silica by the metre, etc) |

I quite like the Camel-type eliquids, usually sold as 'Desert Ship', or 'Ship of the Desert'.

My French is a bit rusty, but here goes: "Funny video: Twin boys in full discussion! These twins are really too funny! They communicate with calls and gestures, each more bizarre/strange than the previous one." Incidentally, this vid was a *massive* YouTube meme, (funny twin boys) about 3 years ago. Over ONE HUNDRED MILLION views |

A warm welcome, clairea I won't try to add to the sensible advice above about which stuff you might consider, I'll just emphasise that you shouldn't ever be shy about asking for advice or info - even if you feel a bit sheepish! All questions will be answered, we all remember our early days of vaping and how complex it all seemed Hope you enjoy yourself here  |

Hi Roscopecotrain, like you, I'm a Pentax man (K-5) but that's only because of all my old lenses, all of which work really well with a modern DSLR. My 'out and about' camera is a Panasonic FZ28, which I've had for 5 or 6 years Only (!) 10Mp, but a Leica x18 zoom lens. It has been superbly reliable and on the basis of the total experience, I would recommend Panasonic 100%. I was just looking at the G6 on Amazon, and it's very well liked. If you can stretch to the £469 they're asking, I notice they have an excellent offer of a free 45-150 Zoom Lens, worth approx. £180-240, if you buy before the end of August. Reviewed here. *very* tempting - if you can afford it... I bought a decent external mike for my K-5 (NOT expensive, fits on the flash mount) and it really enhances sound quality - especially on a windy day! I think your post shows the main problem: There is just so much high-quality choice and the range of features is so wide that it's hard to decide. I would push the budget and buy the G6, but YMMV. Have you looked at Steve's Digicams, BTW? Plenty of EVIL cameras to compare, and I reckon his reviews are unbiased and certainly up to date. Good luck with your choice - it's such a big investment I know - shinyitis on a very large scale! |
