 I couldn't resist. I took this photo yesterday in my local park. The herons are normally in the river or the ponds. |

You just have to be careful that you don't distort the carto too much, if you do them yourself. :) I find Boge tanks are quite forgiving but my FT 3mm glass tanks are a real pain with self-punched cartos. |

I looked at those Perpetua and they are just a wee bit big. I have an I16 one in front of me now and using my best guess with the metal rule i use for jewelery it's a 6mm bore, 1mm x sec. (thickness lol) 7mm x 1mm outside dimension. I asked in my hardware store and showed him an iclear 30 one and we tried a whole box of assorted sizes and if it's a black rubber one it's just too thick. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr uff 6mm inside dia. x 1mm means outside dia. 8mm x 50 here... Fasttech linkThey have quite a lot of o-ring sizes. |

Oh yeah, understood. It's linked to my computer so I can only use it when I'm at my comp desk. The back of that desk looks like the cockpit of a 747.  |

I do find I'm using the twist @ the 4.3/4.8 setting. In fact that's the reason I use the pass-through at high setting as much as I can, much less charging. I do get a lot of vapour though.

I've never had to pay tax on my orders but an order I did for a friend was nabbed. Our import tax is on any item over €22. The item I ordered was €28. They emailed me and asked for a fasttech or paypal receipt or they would estimate tax due for themselves. I emailed the invoice and was charged €6 tax and €6 handling charge. It was still a bargain.  I've since ordered another one of the same for myself and got it through without charge. |

They're both still quite clear. In fact there is very little colour change in any of the tests. This could be because they are mixed at a very low nic content and that could be the reason for the extra time needed for steeping. I may not be the best person for testing flavours as I vape at anything from 1mg to 10mg depending on circumstances.  I'm usually months behind in my vaping, my current ADV was mixed in March [when I started mixing]. |

I've just mixed up the Butterscotch, Sticky Toffee, Caramel Toffee, Cappuccino and Coffee @ 25%. The coffee is looking promising, after an early test, but time will tell. Remind me to come back to this in a week or two. Have you tried the coffee & cappuccino yet prowler? I'll do a proper review of this collection sometime in the future but, for now, here's what I think... The real success appears to be the butterscotch at this stage, but you want to know about these two... Cappuccino. The first thing I get from it is sweetness and I don't really like sweet. Underneath that there is good coffee taste trying to get out but much too little at the moment. Maybe with more time? There is some creaminess on the exhale and an interesting nutty aftertaste. The sweetness kills this for me at the moment, so I'm putting it back for another few weeks. Coffee. Now this is completely different to the above.The initial taste is of commercial coffee machines used here [egberts ?] in cafes. There is little sugar and no milk in this coffee. It needs either more time or a higher %. My feeling is this should steep for months. There's some promise here but it will take time to bring out. My impression is these concentrates are not for the impatient.  |

They also do some great stuff besides vaping gear. This is one of my best electrical buys ever. Just love this thing. www.fasttech.com/p/1644600I buy other items from them too. Always chuck a pack or two of these in with an order if needed www.fasttech.com/p/1328204Work an absolute treat. It has to be that SKU though as other blades I've tried from FT have been awful. Saves me a small fortune. and osdset I've no need for either as I have a full-face beard. Tease-smiley |

I have to say my purchases from fasttech have been excellent. I may just be lucky but I keep expecting hold-ups or stuff falling apart and it doesn't happen.
