Closest i got that stuff was on the Somerset Levels wayback (60s). Thats when nobody noticed me floating my Beetle across long dips in the road where the water table had risen. And I noticed the full force of it around Andover a few years back (A303). I too am at height now...thankfully.  

Bloody boiler is dripping at IN pipe...in sympathy I think?

Don't know quite where they model from. However, on the Temp/Sea Temp selection you can see the warmth of the sea and air at S. Atlantic. So there's a fair bit of warm-ish water coming up.

Better & Reporting? Can we use those words as regards the BBC...that quality thing?

That chap is pretty fair on most things..till he starts dosing himself with dangerous stuff.

I took the 1st step yesterday which was to use a single pre coiled element (coil) that came with a new Kanger mini tank. It came with a small cotton pad. I followed a US youtube vid that illustrated the process using that tank...not vid as above.

The wire coil was already mounted on the tank coil platform. Checked tightness..ok

Looked at coil and coils were well spaced. Nothing touching...good. Cut strip of cotton (get new scissors!)

The wicking was my little problem, but after 3 goes it looked the same as shown in the vid. Rolling the springy cotton and pushing it thru the coil was a bother. Peeling the outer edge off the cotton wad had me wondering if the cotton remaining was of sufficient consistency. Ach well!

Added drops of juice to cotton. Tested on ohmeter that I got from Arcturion...about 0.6 ohms. Filled tank and assembled.

Test fired it (not in mouth) with very short bursts on an istick 30W at about 7 Watts. Looked good with 0.6 ohms indicated. Gave it a longer burst..popping and cracking. Am on 2nd tank full of juice now. The pop is fairly forceful and likely amplified up the funnel. Also the juice is cooking in a modulated manner..pulsing. I detect a lack of skill on my part really.

I have inadvertently gone wicking sub ohm here so will use one of the 1.2 ohm pre coils to see if this thing calms down a bit.

Did not check for even glow when coil exposed...idiot!

Currently firing iStick at 8.5W and reduced popping a bit. Same effect as kettling in boilers/kettles. Not a big issue...just noisy.

I've been in electronics all my life and have gained banana fingers over time I note. Need replacement eyeballs and large expanses of brain. Ears are morphing towards sattelite dish dimensions?

Crazy is too gentle a word. My mother died 3 years back in S.E London. Her flat jumped £100k in 12 months from the date she died. Lucky I was sole beneficiary. Fortunately I could stick my son in it. The cost to any quality (perceived) of life is the BTL's around there and contents thereof....mainly thanks to Greenwich council and physco governments.

Yes..its near beheading territory and as ex military I am seriously very mad about that.

Mine's charged from RM Coventry for onward arching against any wall. W. Mids depot is Coventry airport (freight) I think..still?

Parcelforce for one picks up a £10 handler...loadsa money!

I have... I think. Bought some action camera mounts for a car on eBay. On arrival in slow mode the mounts came with Bangood flyers and I get email every day about offers.

I've used about 6 HK suppliers off ebay over the last year...no problem and if there is eBay will swiftly deal with them. ebay is generally - seller...you are always wrong. Money is back PDQ.
