Not sure that there weren't changes to the back end too. package that tracking said was still in China arrived on my desk an hour later. I usually get items within 96 hours of tracking saying they have left China. The fail may be at the Royal FMail though.

Everyone has their own way. There is no 'better' way in this game, just whatever the user feels comfortable doing. Just enjoy your roses  I do! Thing is it's a thirsty device. One of mine is a pain to bottom fill, the one I got from Focalecig today is easy to bottom fill. Both I'd be certain came out of the same factory. Has anyone dual coiled their one? I have heavy wire single coils in both of mine - one at 0.6 ohms and the other at 0.35. Both work very nicely. |

Who's tried the rose with silica. Was thinking of giving this a go next time round. I use silica in nearly everything. It works just fine. I built a rather large coil and doubled over a little bit of 3mm silica. No dry hits, no flooding. Works excellently. |

I'd be happy to do so again but the moment they hear I lived in Southern Africa in the 80's (Most of the folk I worked with have died of AIDS) and got blood there they tell me never to come back. I'm still upright and breathing 30 years later so I doubt i got infected but they still don't want to know.

It is normal for people to lose an inch in height between 20 and 50 and another inch between 50 and 70. Heavy work and ejecting out of aircraft will make you lose more and faster.

If it can produce 180W, then 3 18650s are an accident waiting to happen. This is what lipo packs are for. Round cells and high wattages are a bad idea. It would appear from the output voltages that cell stacking is involved. Bad idea. The cells are going to need to be balance charged. Balancing chargers aren't free. Or quick.

Just realised that I couldn't have done the 27th anyway as I'll be 250 miles from Edinburgh at the time. The 4th worlds far better for me.

Or do it the easy way. double up your wire, trap both ends in the drill chuck, fasten the other end so you can put a bit of tension on it then spin it till the wire breaks

I have 0.6mm (22G) i mine. The coil is stupidly big, but if it's stupid and it works, it isn't stupid.  |

I'll see what I can do. The big guy belongs to a pal who is away that weekend for her birthday so i have him as well as my two. Is there anywhere to park nearby? Even at extortionate Edinburgh rates.
When I was a student in Edinburgh in 1978 parking near there would have been no problem. I imagine this has changed...

I'd not go for the FT one unless they have one today with the build base. Trust me, you need that part.
The Focal one has the necessary.

Three giant schnauzers. Weighing a combined 19 or so stone. The guy in the foreground is the biggest.  |

I'd give that one a miss. They leak like firehoses. |

I'd love to but would have to take three enormous dogs with me - most pubs wouldn't be even slightly keen on that.
