Done, I hope we have been able to provide some useful feedback! I certainly didn't have any issues with the device, it behaved itself and was a pleasure to use. It has been with me pretty much all day every day since I received it and I can't see that changing any time soon. It filled the MTL gap in my collection well as I hoped it would and I'll definitely continue to use it, buy another device and sort myself out with some extra tanks. Thanks once again for the opportunity to be part of the test  |

Fantastic was meh, Keep ya Cool'a is probably the best cola I've tried, but the competition isn't strong on that front. A nice enough vape though.

Nabbed a fruit/menthol pack, worth a go for that price. Anything I don't like the sound of can go straight into the PIF box at VF  |

I wouldn't have spent much more than a quid on the Blu equivalent before trying it, but I was surprised by how well it vaped. Certainly a lot better than the ego/ce4 combo that a lot of us started with, but cotton v silica would explain that. There is definitely a place for devices like that, they are about as hassle free/idiot proof as vaping will ever be, but we really aren't the target audience! As others have mentioned, it'll be the TPD that screws them over here. I have absolutely no interest in trying a much weaker product than they flog across the pond. If the real deal ever falls into my mitts, of course I'd give it a go |

If it's anything like what the Foo Fighters gig i wen't to at West Hams ground a few weeks ago. The Trains were ******* mental coming out at the end. We actually got to the train doors and turned back as it was that packed. Ended up using Uber for the first time and it was effortless, quick and cheap enough. Stayed at the Marriot West Indian Quay so it is quite close to the O2. If i were to go back down to the big smoke around the docklands area i would park a bit away and get an Uber tbh. I was at the Friday night show and getting away was a nightmare, a lot worse than Wembley and the o2, which surprised me. Well worth it for the, er, stadium rock show Then again the Spurs matches at Wembley have taught me how to get out without getting kettled (head left at the bottom of the ramp and to the left of the Sainsbury's) and the Meantime bar outside the o2 is always open for quite a while after the shows, so I have a few pints while I wait for the crowds to die down. I didn't even learn much for the future if I find myself at the London Stadium again. |

I didn't necessarily want him to score, mind. |

I can see why the ref gave the free kick for the first, it looked like a foul, albeit a soft one, in real time.
And the ref's hair is still a distraction.

The commentators on ITV seemed to think it was a bad call. I would watch it on the BBC, but ITV player is usually a minute or so closer to the actual time than iPlayer.
I love Glenn Hoddle for what he did in a Spurs and England shirt, but... he can't pronounce Mandzukic. He's had 2-3 different attempts and it's getting rather annoying.
Ref still trying to make up for it by not booking Strinic there. Poor form.

Pretty shocking that the ref tried to make up for it with that booking too. Still, I'm £15 up so far, hopefully there is a few quid more to come. £20 if France score in the 2nd half and just shy of £10 if Mbappe can manage a couple of shots on or off target. But the kid hasn't had a kick so far  |

This is where I need my VIM to work it's magic. The only device I used during the extra time/pens against Colombia and the only device I took out with me for the Sweden match.
I haven't touched my trusty Bronze Rolo since an hour before KO, so fingers crossed.
The irony of a device from a Scottish company being a lucky charm isn't lost on me.

The good news? Our party is up to four, we might well do £15 of drink each, even if it is dirt cheap! The bad? Four shots at half time due to people wussing out. I didn't even go to the bar for them |

And I'm back in hell. I quite like the place for domestic football when it never gets packed out, I don't enjoy it for England matches. At least the reserved table allowed us to jump the queue and get in for free. Shame we can't skip the bar queues! Result. Atmosphere will be good no doubt! Can't fault the atmosphere. Almost makes up for not being able to see any of the TVs from our reserved area as they are allowing people to stand by the tables. Made it pointless reserving a table. And only two others turned up, so I'm out of pocket. And drenched in beer already. A goal or two more will do the trick. |
