Stay safe tonight peeps, not just up in Scotland where it'll be horrid wild, but up here in t'north of England too. The wind is already worse than last night, but we still have power but candles and torches are ready. It's blummin noisy too. I hate stormy wind. And they forecast snow for tomorrow, oh deep joy, gusting 50mph wind and snow. Lush! NOT!

Know what you mean happyloman, I always start the day with a cup of tea, then start on endless coffee drinking, so I start the day with my own mix chait tea then change to home made vanilla cappuccino, at the moment anyway. Otherwise I'd go for a lemon or orange mix, sort of like fruit juice for first thing. So maybe a tea or coffee on would help?

Loving the Greek translation of Heston , quite appropriate for some of his recipes I think! Good luck with making concentrates, I would just be aware, if you use lemon or orange that you might possibly get oil from the peel? In which case it wouldn't be good to vape. Easy to test though, just drop onto water and see if it separates? Think that's the case. Happy mixing qsplan

Interesting qsplan probably not something I would choose to vape, I do like garlic in food, but to vape? Not my thing. Vegetable flavoured liquid is again probably not something I'd like but fruits, now if we could make fruit concentrate, but maybe it's cheaper to just buy the concentrates ready made and eat the fruit? Have fun though, you'll become the Heston Blumenthal of the vape world.

Sorry if this picture is sideways, I still can't upload one from the iPad the right way up! Anyhow, small collection, but I have given quite a few things away to my son and his GF and tbh I'm quite happy with my little lot. MVP, spinner 2, small ego and rainbow twist don't really get used much but I'm hanging on to them, especially the MVP and all the tanks get used, in fact they have all been cleaned recoiled and wicked this morning, tank maintenance day OMG The picture is the right way round

Are the new versions rms? It's my main gripe with the istick, it seems to want to fry coils even at low, low power sleedale have a look at this thread over on UKV for iStick re-calibration.......several people seem to think it works ukvapers.org/Thread-iStick-recalibrate-trickThank you Greigster, I'll try doing just that next time it cooks a coil for no apparent reason. My other grip is the 510 connection having to lift the pin but the new version addresses that. Don't need 30 or 50 watts, but a spring pin and good threads would be good.

Said interviewee forgot to mention the generous public sector pension & more holidays than you can shake a stick at. Taught children with severe learning disabilities for 31 years, every holiday, yes there are several ,was cut by two thirds doing paperwork and as for the generous public sector pension, I paid in a considerable percentage of my salary for 31 years, retired early 3 years ago, as soon as I was allowed to as my joints are just about shot from all the physical shifting and lifting and no........it's not generous, nor gold plated, nor was it free. Pay is set by governments conditions are a joke and folks seem to expect schools and teachers to bring up their children, not just educate them. Yes, political correctness can go too far, but I'd rather some checks than rampant bigotry. Sorry OP for going off on one, but the main part of the OP is sadly true. Teachers are expected to do all that, and a whole lot more and always, always get the 'you get long holidays and pensions' bile chucked at them. oh, and how many people in any job get to take a load of unruly children away, be responsible for them 24 hours a day with all that entails and then thinks it's a free holiday? Sorry folks, parents complain when schools are closed. They are not child minding services, schools are there to educated. They aren't perfect, not all teachers are conscientious, but the vast majority are. And if it's so blummin wonderful a job, why aren't there more people applying to become teachers? rant from ex teacher over, I will now quietly withdraw and sit in my corner, but I could say a whole lot about mechanics, plumbers, builders, bankers, politicians etc. but I wont.

Fab, me please EDIT if these come with interchangeable rod things, then can I put my name down for two of them? If it's one or the other then probably two of the smallest sized ones? I've just reread the thread, including watching the enthusiastic American demo and I really need one of these things in my little vaping life, so flavourtank if you do decide to do a group buy, once I know which/what then I'd like two of them please. now my brain really has turned to mush, im hoping someone can make sense of this burbling post

Ok, someone please tell me in words of one syllable, does this do 1.5-2.0mm coils of .28 Kanthal? Cos that's what I make using screwdriver, blow torch and tweezers. If it does, then please can I join in? Save space in the coiling box of bits

chykensa, all VW drivers wave at each other, some are a bit cliquey, so bays wave to bays, splits wave to splits, T25s wave.....well you get the idea, but mostly if you're driving a VW especially if it's a camper van, then wave......I tend to wave at anything vaguely van shaped.....have surprised quite a few transit drivers before now, but a high top camper looks just the same from the front have you found a T4 forum? I'm with a T25 forum and it's excellent, worth joining in. so now, vtr or istick or other in hand I just wave at most people, even some motorhome owners join in the fun, and oooop norf life is a little, well, northern so we wave at anybody haven't yet booked any dates for Cornwall this year, OH family live in and around Launceston but family has 'campsite' near Dunmere. Also have to vape my way down to Pembrokeshire to visit son but not at the same time! Will let you know. Good luck with your music venture by the way, schools music, many moons ago, gave me a lifelong love of music, playing, listening etc etc. vape on and keep on teaching (sorry to have swiped this thread)
