Who are these people of whom you speak Is Matt Munro on the bill? Mind you, I have led a very sheltered life, although I did used to deliver dairy products around that area back in the late 60s. It was quite civilised then. Lols, fantastic Raffles . Exactly what I'd think of if I heard that name. Guess I watched too much UK gold during school/University holidays. Expecting to see Reg Hollis and Bob Cryer do a duet next year.

sleedale this wire (2 0.2mm wires twisted with 0.5x0.1mm ribbon) is bloody fantastic for the subtank mini. 4 wraps at 3mm gives 0.6 ohms and it vapes brilliantly. The smoothest vape I've had on a subtank and it really keeps the heat down at higher powers. I cant recommend it highly enough. Dirt cheap as well. As for the wicks, I cut them so they reach the base and then about 2-3mm longer. Push them up, screw on the sleeve, push them down and towards the centre, leave them holes open. It allows a higher powered vape. The Mrs swears by them now, and wont touch pancake wicks any more.

So the vapemail void has been filled, somewhat.
Just got some golblin glasses and some more krakens inbound. Vape budget slashed for the month due to buying a new PC motherboard/processor/ram/dvd drive and case.
Normal service will be resumed next month.

Very good advice @windows , seen many a component destroyed by not doing this, and with batteries the results could be worse than failure, could be catastrophic.
Another handy little tip if you are doing much soldering is to have a bunch of heat sinks lying around (ripped from old power transistors, PCs, power supplies etc. They can speed up the cooling down process and also help to cool components while still letting wires and solder heat up sufficiently. In the case of batteries, just hold the heatsink to the terminal you were soldering. The cooling wont be optimal since no thermal compound is used, but it can speed things up if you find yourself resoldering often.

Another one frightened off! Maybe, but if they can read and evaluate, maybe not? Even if said poster has been frightened off, others will find this info and perhaps it well help them. The more advice we can give to each person, the more info there is out there for everyone. Hope the OP has stuck with ecigs and will come back and tell us how he/she is doing.

A doge (only with competition cap) is nice, as is the dark horse, but the daddies of them all are the plume veil and the VA origen.
The VA allows silly 8 coil builds which can be a good bit of fun, and the plume veil is a jack of all trades, and not far off a master of them as well. So many airflow and build options on it, you can go for flavour or clouds. Not the top on either, but not too far off. Add the ease of building to this and it's the best place to start dripping IMHO. You'll never realise how much easier a post dripper is to build on until you try one.

Ahh the joys of foreign whisky. The Egyptians tried and failed, and the Spaniards and the Bulgarians...but none as bads as the Americans. So bad they can't even spell Whisky.
Should be a daily exercise in American schools.
There is no e in whisky, but their is a u in colour - copy out 100 times daily.
As for coming back to the forum, we have a great crowd here and always find something to chat about.

Tried Thunderbird (versions 31 and 38) Outlook 2010, and virginmedia webmail. All have the same issue. Virgins webmail accounts are based on gmail so not surprised the issue is the same there. PinkyPuff uses a gmail account via thunderbird 38 and also has the problem. ps... checked the source code of the message and it is definitely sent as plain text not html. Unless google is converting it, it looks like it is a proboards issue. edit....tried pop3 and imap with no change.

Same issue here in thunderbird and webmail. Posted a thread on proboards support forum to hopefully save you some effort Chrissie telling them the issue and the problem it causes some members. Here's hoping it's just a brainfart by someone over at their end that will get cleared up soon.

I totally understand, but let us do the same in return. Not polite to accept a round without buying one. We havea a few interesting mixes you might like to try out. Coffee flavours, fruit flavours, red astaire based mixes, and a menthol cola thats been rocking my boat recently (not told piinky about this one as I only had a few ml mixed and didn't want her requisitioning it into one of her tanks before I could have a vape session on it)

As I posted elsewhere tonight I was given a bottle of Glayva by my boss today. I'm not really a fan of it, so gave PinkyPuff a half to try it out. Too whisky like for her, not even the honey notes saves it for her (she's Bulgarian...they drink tattie juice, sorry, Vodka) We cant make this vapemeet as my mother cant watch the kiddies, but the next meet we can make, I'll bring the Glayva along for anyone who likes it. A full bottle minus one measure up for grabs. Free to a good home.
