Or, if you really want another way to do it, do what I do, get yourself one of these: www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/devolo-1658-dlan-500mbps-single-av-mini-adapter-10976999-pdt.htmlData transfer rate is 500mbps which is pretty good (better than USB or firewire so my memory tells me), then buy one of these (this is mine at home):  What this is, it's a netgear router with a USB port on it, attached to the side of it using velcro (  ) is a WD 500GB HD, the router is attached to the plug listed above (don't buy them from PC world, much cheaper elsewhere) and the other plug is where I need it to be, in your case, next to where you work most so you can just plug in. You can then access that USB drive anywhere, and I mean anywhere, you can give it an address and use it on any computer anywhere in the world, ready access to your files wherever you need them. But, I am geeky, I like things like that :-[ |

Ok, lots of questions there, let's try and answer them one by one: CD Caddy - that's an easy one, if you look at this link www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=2nd+hard+drive+caddy+laptop you will see ebay littered with them, it is quite simply buy one, put any 2.5" sata drive in, push into laptop and hey presto new drive. Is it worth it? - yes, but it depends what you do, all my high intesity data transfer programs are on my SSD, all the files I save are on the external drive. Anything that (like vid files for editing) requires a lot of accessing I would slam on my desktop knowing that was the SSD and once I have finished doing whatever save it over to the external drive by just dropping it into the folder mapped to it on my desktop. The SSD also houses my programmes because they obviously have high data access rates whilst loading. When you say that your fed up with big files taking ages to transfer over the network do you mean you are connected wireless to this, if so that will be your weak point. You could link the laptops directly together with a crossover cable so no need for a switch, I don't fully understand your scenario at the moment so can't advise any further. What maccafan says is right if one machine is downstairs and the other is in another room and they are not close by, why don't you do all your work on the alienware? Why the slower laptop, I've obviously missed something here (I can be quite thick)!!!  |

The ones you linked to global are very nice for dripping I find, but for sticking on cartos etc. I would start with some cheap ones and see how you go. You will find over time that your collection will grow as different ones take your eye. Mind you it is possible to get a bit carried away: Holy crap! Tell me they aren't all yours?? Amazing selection there |

Hi celiafate 4 weeks ago I ordered a kit, I never intended to give up, I just intended to slow my smoking down to save money, I was smoking 20-30 Malrboro a day and I would smoke a ciggy in under a minute. Since that first day I have not touched a ciggy, the wonderful people on here have steered me towards the right kit for me and I am now experimenting with Nicotine contents to satisfy my craving. I never thought I would be able to stop normal cigs in a million years, but hey, 4 weeks on, hundreds saved and I'm sitting here with plumes of smoke coming out of my mouth and a grin on my face. It really is a great way to get away from the nasty cigs without any of the drawbacks! Great advice on here, amazing people! |

Fantastic pictures and lovely stories to go with them all Global! I should probably reveal that my name is Tim at this point, if I'm hanging about for a bit it only seems proper  |

Lovely pics Global, thank you for posting them  Heard the same thing from some other Bengal owners, but they are such beautiful cats. They are closer to Dog's than cats and it really depends what "F" rating they are, F1- F3 you would need a wild animal license for (not joking), ours are F4 which means they are as pure bred as I'm allowed for a domestic cat. I think that's right it's been sometime since I did all my research. Unfortunately people do look at them and think they look amazing, but they are quite regualrily re-homed because they are noisy and very strong willed. If a Bengal doesn't want to do something there is nothing you can do about it, they talk loudly all the time which is nice but it's a very unusual noise, people who come in our house for the first time look around as if to say what the blooming heck is that noise??? They are also incredibly strong animals, even our little white one cannot be held onto wrapped in a towel if he needs a tablet (this has only happened once and I was torn to shreds), the leopard one no one has a chance with, he is all muscle and knows how to use it  But if you can get over the mad behaviour, the addiction to water and the noise they are awesome creatures, very loving (when they want a cuddle) and fantastic to look at prowling about in the garden. |

I have 4 cats, two moggies and two Bengals. Love dogs too and very lucky that my mate (just so happens to be my neighbour too) has two dogs that I get to see every day, he has a Jack Russel and a 3 legged Springer. We can't have dogs ebcause we are out all day and I just don't think it's fair to leave them for that long. So, I have a Marble spotted white Bengal with blue eyes called Kai (we named him before that gastly footballer made the name popular by naming his child the same). We also have a leopard spotted one called Simba (kids named him, coould you guess that?  ), the main man of the pride is called Marmite and his sidekick aptly named Felix, some pics: We had a fifth cat called Jasper who was the family favourite but he was hit by a car  , but as you can see they all get on very very well, totally unusual for a pack of cats to be like this but they are great!   When the Bengals were Kittens, do not be fooled, they were a bloody nightmare, Bengals love water and spent their time in and out of the bath, they also love high places so every curtain was torn to shreds and every high spot was reached. Thankfully they are calmer now....... not a lot but a little   Kai hates men, if one goes near him he pretends he hates them and that they have presecuted him in a previous life, that is until he wants something and the result is this:  Marmite is huge, this is why he is the main man but he is also a very good baby sitter  |

thx. are those clearomizers £5.30 each? ( does that website have a discount code and or delivery charges )??? but i need the adaptor to use them on the LT correct? what OHM would would go of with them. because the tanks only work out at £6.80 with the discount code from freedomvape ... does anyone know what there minimum free delivery is, there is a "*FREE UK SHIPPING" but can't see what the * refers to ..hmm.... FV Uk shipping is free as far as I know. You can pick Vision Stardust 2.5-2.9 ohms from ecigwizard for £4.37 each with free shipping using discount code ECR69. www.ecigwizard.com/shop/en/cartomisers/402-vision-ego-clearomiser.htmlGo for the higher resistance ones since you got a VV device and you can step up the voltage. Will give you more vapour. See, I got it wrong, ah well, glad it was corrected before you ordered, sure mine will be just fine  |

Delivery charge was £2.73, I paid with the discount for two delivered £12.09 and got the adapter for £2.95 delivered from FreedomVape. Discount code for the tanks safercigs was save10. Ohm was 2.1 - 2.4, I got that from another thread, that should be correct for our LT's. Don't take my word as gospel though, I'm as new to this as you are |

Thaniks Chrissie, thanks Steve, that Stainless steel one looks like it would be long lasting and quite comfortable. Will sleep on the idea..... and buy it in the morning  |

Just realised I'm starting to speak "vape" lingo at last - the missus and surrounding people think I'm off my rocker with this new vocab |

I had the same thought and bought an LT 510 Ego Tank connector and a couple of those Vision Ego Clearomizers, because the tanks are only 1.6ml I thought that it was a good halfway house between regular carto's that need filling all the time and the big DCT tank. I will fill the DCT tank with my main eliquid and use the Clearomizers as my backup/play tanks. I got 10% off the tanks as well.
