Just received a package from LT Ecigs, in which was a free sample of liquorice e-juice. Very nice, I thought, and proceeded to tip a couple of mils into a tank and vaped on it. Gack!  Tipped into the bin, immediately. Then the penny dropped, I fished the bottle out of the bin and had a closer look at the sample bottle label - it was liquorice flavouring; no wonder it was vile in that concentration.  Sanity prevailed, and I added a couple of drops to an RY4 mix and enjoyed the smooth liquorice tang from it. What a plonker. Doh! |

The major part of the value in the lost spirit was duty - I don't think duty would have been paid on that yet, so it's just a loss of some alcohol, cheaply enough. Even if duty had been paid, it might be re-claimable as the spirit wasn't sold.

Aye, back when I were a lad, the Boss was the Boss and we was grateful for the odd turnip thrown our way. You knew where you stood with a cruel despot and nobody had any illusions, it was out the door and up the road for a life grinding knives if you failed to tug your forelock twenty times a day. Mark my words.
Nowadays? Why we've got toffs with qualifications acting like they run the bleddin country. As if. Their grandfathers could have taught them a thing or two about horsewhips and how to keep the lower orders in their place. The natural order is upset when you don't know who to kow-tow to - is it the geeky fella with the degree or that toff with the bow tie and five minutes at management college, paid for by his Pater?

Yay - an anniversary. One year, 21 hours. 18295 cigarettes not smoked, saving €1,829.55. Life saved: 9 weeks, 12 hours, 35 minutes. You know, I can now leap tall buildings, gargle paint and spray cars when I sneeze; I have no need of blue pills, can ride like a demon, swear like a trooper and fart like royalty. Thank you e-cigs  |

1. It's not junk; it's valuable resources for a project.

I've got one of those - probably a different make and its yellow. It originally came from my mum's garage when she moved so I think the charger went out with the rubbish  If you find something that can charge it please tell us as I have tried all sorts of chargers but they don't charge it enough. It's usually a ~14Ah battery in those, and the original wall-wart charger puts about 0.5A into them at around 15V or so. If you lose the charger, an ordinary battery charger clipped onto the jump grips will do the job fine - just bear in mind the capacity of the battery and keep an eye on the charging gauge. Modern smart chargers are much better, of course, and you could leave one connected to just get on with it until the green light comes on. |

How does the Vamo compare with the Lavatube, does anyone have an opinion? Am considering acquiring a second bat mod, and I quite like my LT, just wondering if the Vamo would be an upgrade or a, er, same-grade  I had a Mk1 LT, which was fine, but the Mk1.5, with PWM got more out of the cartos. The Vamo was essentially more of the same but with greater controllability and choice between vaping like an LT (just voltage settings) or setting power levels - the wonderful thing, you set the power level, fit a different carto/clearo and the power level remains the same, but the applied voltage changes so you get good ouput from the carto without hunting for settings for it. If the Vamo fails, I'll happily got back to the LTs, but I'd look for another Vamo, for sure. |

I've had upper body spots breaking out as a reaction to cheap no-name juice bought from DX - never again.
One of my drip tips is a nice rubber one, but it caused my lips to swell a bit, so that got binned. I find the Delrin ones perfectly ok and the rubber ones on the Smok DCTs are fine, too. There's an SS one which gives me a slight swelling, but I regulate how long I use that for.

Have been without heating or hot water for three weeks, and today, with a new system, have had a decent bath, washed all my laundry and dried it, and feel like I'm back in the human race. We take so much for granted! Oh yes, hot water is marvellous stuff  My immersion packed up and I refused to buy another one, not just because of the price, but that I knew there was one lying around somewhere buried in the workshop. Took me ages to find it - like, a month. I wasn't too fussed because I have another hot tank upstairs, next door, but it's not exactly convenient to use and I was keeping the kitchen going by boiling kettles non-stop. Eventually I found the immersion heater and fitted it - what a joy that was. Next time (and there always is a next time for these damned things) I'm not putting it off again, I'll just get one asap. |

I think I've only seen one supermarket shopper in their pyjamas, but hey, it's a small rural town and tongues would be wagging if I did it.
