news from leicester: a man at the walkers crisps factory made a mistake and ran off a huge batch of cheese and prawn flavoured crisps. i guess it didn't work, walkers have taken an 8 million pound hit on it. (i'm trying to see if i can get my hands on some tho and will keep you posted if i do). Is this leading up to some joke, like "Nutts Screws Washers and Bolts"? |

I consider myself fortunate I no longer live in the vicinity of the effects of it.
If I want, I can tune in and catch it the civilised way via satellite and get some of the best seats in the stadia.
But I'll not be bothered for much of it - the TdF was enough sport for me for the year.

Oh, forgot a good one! Marmite and honey on toast. Marmite is the work of the Devil. Bovril is King - or it was until it was debased, degraded and disembowelled. |

You do realise you are on a Vaping forum ?.......cigars, Gauloise, Disque Blue fags. Shame on you, do 50 press ups until you apologise.  You could try the analogues of those - there must be e-juices that taste foul enough to emulate Gauloise or DB and I know there are plenty of cigar imitators. My point is - G or DB on their own are very much an acquired taste but comboed with a half-decent coffee they really come into a flavour meld that can be very distinctive. The argument over whether Nescafe is a decent coffee or not is up to the coffee snobs - they can go hang. |

Hmmm...
Banana and peanut butter - but that's well known.
Peanut butter and sardine
PB and tuna with mayonnaise
The above with HP sauce
Strawbery jam and sardine
Spam, PB, mayo, cheese, sundried tomatoes
Nescafe original and Gauloise or Disque Bleu fags - for something approaching a French taste
Decent brandy and a good cigar - both of them complement each other in a way that's hard to describe

After the Hungerford and Dunblane shootings, all the new gun laws did was make it next to impossible for decent law-abiding gun club members to pursue their chosen hobby.
The crims still have guns, in fact, more than ever. It's easy to get a gun - recall, the Russian Army when it left East Germany, hadn't been paid for months and many guns were sold for cash to avid Westerners and crooks.
Ever since then, there's been a steady flow of illicit guns smuggled into the UK and certainly not for gun club members.

There would have been a tremendous sense of anticlimax and relief. It was generally known amongst the troops that expected Allied casualties in the invasion of the Japanese home islands would have been around the million mark.
To have that suddenly lifted, would have been very sobering. I've no doubt there was plenty of cheering elsewhere in the Pacific theatre, but on that battleship the surrounding personnel kept it down a bit because of all the brass around. Actually, they'd likely been told to button it and only cheer on command.
The real cheering in the Pacific happened a few days after the bombs dropped and Japan announced its surrender.

Cones with opinions though? Could be interesting. This forum needs a grammar check button If my Granmar were still around, she'd be fine with it. |

I started off with the small 510s and looked for exactly what the OP is looking for - a larger carto or something to fit.
I realised the smaller batteries were no good, so bought a couple of Ego 900mAh batts and some standard resistance cartos. I did try the larger cartos with the small batteries but while they worked it wasn't all that great.
Anyway, the Ego batteries enabled me to try out Dual Coil cartos, Vision clearomiser and things got better, especially when I found the Smok DCC cartos.
Now I have a Lavatube and happily puff away on it with a choice of Smok DCC, 3.5ml tank, Clearo, or the older SR cartos, whatever takes my fancy.
I tend to use the LT in the evening, indoors, but take the Ego set with me when going out as I know it will last long enough outside and with two Ego batts, a couple of cartos and a top-up bottle of fave mix it's all hunky-dory.
This is all based around the 510 connector, which has turned out to be a standard of sorts - just as well really, as at the beginning I wasn't sure of what would fit what.

Amazingly, just after the documents were signed, the Japanese Army guarding the PoW camps were disarmed, then given back their arms and acted as police to protect the PoWs from outside forces - of which there were a few.

Of William Shatner... I thought he was truly hilarious on HIGNFY the other week. I watched a few eps of "Shit my Dad Says", last year and found it quite funny at times. Came as quite a surprise to me. |

My order only arrived today, many days after I expected it to, from my previous experience with them. I reckon they were overwhelmed with orders.

The vaper should be grateful a Menendez wasn't done on him. Luckily he was outside the Met.
There are two faults here.
The vaper should have told those nearest or cleared it with the driver - simple courtesy and common sense.
Honestly, the over-reacting and panicky ninny who phoned it in should have their arse kicked.

At face value, anything with BP on it is British Pharmacopoeia grade and hopefully safe for vaping. However, the BP lists all sort of stuff and if you check the index of PG (I don't have the full current version) you'll see several variants of PG listed - perhaps not all them suitable. www.pharmacopoeia.co.uk/pdf/BP2012_Index.pdfI'll have a look in an old copy later. Wiki has some interesting stuff on it - probably seen here before, but irritations and other side effects are mentioned. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycolOddly, I had a strange side effect from some cheapy ejuice from Deal-Extreme - had some red spots on my neck and upper chest which went away as soon as the juice ended. Perhaps that wasn't pure PG (I wouldn't be surprised, tbh, as I suspect some of the no-name stuff is mixed in a bathtub, possibly from dodgy grade gear). Also, last week I had a strange vision problem, like a mild dose of conjunctivitis mentioned therein. It went away after an eyebath or two, but I suspect too high a dosage of PG vapour drifting up to my eyes. |

batty - I'm a blow-in, from Scotland, but much prefer the Irish flavour of whiskey. The particular whiskey I used was part of a sample set of miniatures - Greenore, Kilbeggan, Tyrconnell and Connemara - I used the Greenore, which, according to the blurb is "the only bottling of a single grain Irish Whiskey... predominately made from corn". It's quite yummy in a vape. @perp - I've got three others to try and a full bottle of Scotch  As I suspected, it's improved overnight - been using it all day.
