    Grants Vanilla Custard

    They were out of 30ml 50:50 18mg by 9:30 London time. The 10ml was long gone. What is VG/HEAVY? I'd sort of like to know before it arrives. ;)

    So... If you accidentally swallow e liquid you could die?

    It's strange how often that happens.

    Grants Vanilla Custard

    I hope it's good; I had to go for 30ml, and not in the preferred 50:50 mix :D Oh well, I can always PIF it.

    I Finally Did It!!

    You can adjust the airflow by just blocking one of the four holes in the skirt. But my colleague did that and got leaks and gurgles. The lower airflow leads to a higher vacuum around the wicks and draws more liquid. The fix for that would be to increase the power level to vaporise the extra...

    I Finally Did It!!

    I have a colleague who found the same. It's probably worth getting used to various different draws, because you can alter the wicking by changing the airflow. It's a useful adjustment to have available. But all things in good time. Maybe concentrate on the CE4s for a few days.

    Away from a charging source... What to do?

    Even if the car charger is a linear device, so amps into the PV is equal to amps out of the truck battery, you're not going to worry the truck battery at all. An eGo is about 1Ah (1,000mAh). Truck batteries are from 50 to 200 Ah. In the worst possible case, you'll take about 2% of the battery...

    So... If you accidentally swallow e liquid you could die?

    This myth was probably started because someone realised that the supposed fatal dose of nicotine was something like five cigarettes, and people smoke that number back to back all the time. So it must only be fatal when drunk, right? The almost certainly correct answer is that the fatal dose is...

    So... If you accidentally swallow e liquid you could die?

    Colchicine is a popular treatment for gout. I have a tiny tub of 100 0.5mg tablets, which appears to be a standard prescription. The minimum reported fatal dose is 7mg. That's just one seventh of the tub. The last time this came up, I did some research. The fatal dose of bleach is around 150ml...

    Away from a charging source... What to do?

    There's always this, but it's expensive and it won't be ready in time. Nice idea though. ETA: This one is even better.

    Away from a charging source... What to do?

    A car battery is around 100 Ah, so 100,000mAh. One of those should keep you going, albeit it's quite heavy to carry far. With solar power, just be aware that there is a huge difference between full sunlight and shadow. We experience light logarithmically, but solar chargers don't. What seems to...

    Wood Have any wood cutting tips w/ machinery?

    My father was a carpenter. He cut perfect mitres freehand. I've got good enough now to be able to cut reasonable ones with a mitre block. There's a huge gap between the "professional" products you get in DIY stores and the products that the professionals use. If you spend enough in a DIY store...

    Uk cheap source vg

    The link sheishreviews posted is £5.30 per litre for BP grade. That's 5.3 pence per 10ml. For something you are going to put into your lungs. Is it really worth looking for anything cheaper and more dodgy?

    Tank advice?

    Personally, I find the air-control on the Aerotank rather too loose. It's too easy to change. Having said that, the tanks you list are probably about the best out there at the moment. Possibly the Vision Nautilus is just that bit better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBPfXtIvWM4

    Travel and Vaping Whats the tsa rules for ecig?

    We've heard about LAX in particular confiscating e-cigs, so those should go in your checked luggage. If you can't wait that long, carry a cheap e-cig to get you through the airports. However. If you have any lithium batteries that are not in devices, those MUST go in carry-on luggage in...

    I Finally Did It!!

    Hi there, congratulations. 1. It's great if you never smoke again, but if you fail every now and then, it's no big thing. Quitting at the same time as learning to vape is harder than smoking and vaping for a few months before quitting. It's doable, but expect some anxiety and frustration. 2...

    Chemicals of concern for vaping?

    But there aren't that many desert flavours out there. At a rough guess they make up 10-20% of the available eliquids, whereas Dr. Farsalinos found chemicals of concern in 69%. Of course, since he knew what he was looking for he might have bought mostly desert flavours, but he hasn't said so...

    need advice on how to deal with a wet twist battery

    From the symptoms, I'd say it was worth trying to fix it. Almost certainly there's only a short on the dial and if you can fix that, you should be OK. Generally accepted wisdom is that coffee and tea are harmless. It's the sugar and milk that destroy stuff. So if it was black coffee, use the...

    Can you use the board outputs to drive a MOSFET?

    fire button amps?

    No No No No Watts has absolutely no meaning with switches unless you are using them as a heater. Amps is amps. It's the same no matter what voltage they are running at. You will get away with running them above their rating if you don't mind them getting warm and failing sooner than they are...

    Is this gold cap hopeless to remove from the top of my copper Nemesis????

    If freezing doesn't work, try heat. Both of those work because different metals expand and contract to different degrees. Of course the rings are not solid gold and if they are copper neither heat nor cold is likely to work.
