You should be able to remove the adhesive with isopropynol to keep the tape tidy sydsut. Sounds like a great idea  I see in an fartvaper`s post that the adhesive is conductive in that type. I cant imagine it is going to be anywhere near as conductive as copper though. I had to remove the adhesive from a bit of copper tape over the weekend, no isopropynol to hand and meths didn't work so I set light to the sticky side. That certainly did the trick if you like black copper! Easy to polish off though if it's to be soldered or used as an electrical connection of some kind. |

I dunno about the chemicals used for anodising, but I do know that the chemical in poundshop oven grill cleaning kits will remove it, just dump the item in a bowl of grill cleaner and leave for a couple of hours. I did removed the red anodising from a small Wilko's torch using this method. I forgot to remove a small sticky label from the inside of the torch during the process and noticed when I did finally get it off that it had effectively masked a neat rectangular area, leaving a perfect red rectangle. Hmm, now there is an idea for removing the colour from a Hana type mod but leaving a personalised logo behind. now your making me think same of a few of my vape stuff thanks for the tip osdset I forgot to add that the process leaves aluminum with a 'flat' grey finish, some people will be happy with this, others will want to use some elbow grease and polish the ally up to an eye watering shine. |

I was diagnosed with COPD three years ago. I've been vaping full time for around a year now and my last three COPD reviews ( I have one every three months) have shown a marked improvement. I smoked roll ups for over 40 years, and toward the end I was on 100-150 grams per week. I know I feel better, I'm not breathless all the time which is how I was before. Just carrying a couple of bags of shopping a short distance home left me in a state. Not anymore. I'll never be cured of COPD but vaping has been the most positive thing I've done to improve my condition. Wow that's so good to hear and brilliant your doing so much better, iv only been vaping since jan and don't have your ailment but I to smoked roll ups for 35 yrs and iv noticed even walking up the stairs I can breath at the top I still have problems with more than one flight of stairs, and even one flight has to be taken carefully. I know a few people with COPD, it seems to be getting diagnosed more frequently now. Some still won't have it that packing in the fags is one major step toward not making the condition worse. |

Already found one, run by a Russian who thinks charging £130 for a Vamo is a good deal.
I'll stick to China thanks all the same.

27 mg thats just crazy that would knock me out I must be an odd one out, I regularly vape 30mg juice at around 25-30watts (depending on the coil build), and I find that doesn't hit the spot at times. |

They changed our gas meter from prepay to a normal one last August told us we would have a bill every quarter dispite chasing it up we have never had one, we asked for it to be changed because a it was faulty and b we couldn't get on floor to put key in today i I get a prepayment bill estimated I have to add but saying we now owe £700.00 that's like a years bill I have been putting money away but only what we would have spent which is about a half of the bill, going to have to send them a metre reading and complain that they haven't sent bills out as stated hoping it doesn't come to that amount and ask to spread the bill, as spring summer is on the way we won't be using very much gas £ 10.00 a month max for hot water only cnly the metre reader came round the other month asked him to read gas he said he couldn't only read electric, its bs not as if we haven't told them time and time again as we didn't want a huge bill arriving grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it it just peeps me off they change the metre but don't realise dispite us telling them on more than one occasion Fight,fight,fight. Do your own meter readings, supply them by whatever means the robbing bastards ask for, then stick to your guns. Many people get so frightened by the 'we'll cut you off' mantra that these parasites often come out with, stand up to them and don't let them intimidate you. I switched from Eon to Ebico (Southern Electric) a few months ago, the first estimated bill was a complete joke, they doubled up on what I knew my consumption was, and the website that offers the opportunity to submit meter readings is for 'customer information only' one has to phone some desk jockey in Scotland and submit the readings. Once I did it was 'Oh sorry Mr Osdset, we'll put your amended bill online asap", cut by 50% on both gas an leccy. |

Just left the store with a new kboX. I explained what happened, they tested on themselves and grabbed a new box straight away And tested that one as well. I am happy with the result and there were no problems (shoots his Ak-47 in the air from happiness). I do hope things like this won't happen again and future customers won't have to go through any tough times with them. Thank you all for the input and support. Keep them clouds going  Glad you had a result. A question. How are you getting on with the Kbox? I'm thinking about getting one but it's doubtful I'll use any setting under 25watts, do you use the higher settings? |

You can use these to make a coolbox for picnics, the car, etc. Very simple to wire up.
isabel22 I played with these for ages a while ago, trying to supercool a PC Do you realise the middle one is rated @ 120Watts. Thats 10Amps continuous drain on a car battery, for something smaller than a coaster. Get REAL!! Funny that, the first thing that sprung to mind when I read Peltier was PC cooling, then I looked at the specs. Jeez, that's a serious power supply upgrade for yer gaming PC! |

Had Matter? Seriously, where do these people get their inspiration from? It's awful etching on a bog standard lump of stainless.

Thank you for the replies and cheers for the offer Robby! As advised, I got it out using a dremel to cut a slot in the head and removed with flat driver. It was stuck so fast that the head snapped off, but I managed to remove the cover then used pliers to remove the stem. I don't think I'll be getting another screw in there though so I'm stuck with a cover rattle. Still, I got it working Let's see what Gearbest say. Thanks again everyone, much appreciated. Jeez! Those screws must be as soft as a freshly laid cow pat! I'm not surprised though, I'll bet the casing is aluminium which means stainless screws would strip out the threading in no time. My money is on droves of these getting returned, I cant see this problem going away. |
