    Oh well never mind. At that price, I'm not surprised they went quick. Nice colour too mate. I was going to get the red one myself originally, but I've got a few red mods now. Plus Terry persuaded me to go for a blue one instead :lol:

    I saw that post where you were chatting with the guy from the USA about the enclosure, looks great mate. The alu goes really well with the wood - will make a lovely looking piece. That's the thing with larger work shop tools, everyone uses them differently. If you can alter them and get them to...

    So far I've only used the FDV ones. Nice and easy to work with and they come in loads of different sizes and variations : 510 Connectors I've got some cheapo ones coming from FT, so I'll see what their like.

    To be honest, I've heard different ideas on having a sprung loaded 510 on a TC mod. Some people think it will be fine to use. Others reckon you're better off with a plain adjustable 510, so you ensure a good solid connection to the topper for the TC to work properly. I can't see any reason why a...

    As long as you're keeping busy that's the main thing. Helps to take your mind off the bad stuff, I agree. I've been doing a bit of research myself mate. Mainly about building circuit boards, the parts literally cost pennies to buy. Had a look earlier at breadboards for prototyping - quite...

    Not that brave mate :lol: There's a post about the first production run though with some internal pics, things might be different now with the ones we got : Vapor Flask V3 DNA40 Clone thread | E-Cigarette Forum Once my digital calipers arrive, I'll measure things up properly George and see if a...

    Evenin' all. First lot of vapemail arrived today. The 3D printed voltage display surrounds arrived. I ordered 4 of them. Now I won't need to spend ages carefully cutting and filing out the slots for the voltage displays on my hand built boxes. They look pretty good and they fit perfectly. I...

    Well it's time for me to say goodnight. Time for a nice soak in the bath, slippers on and chill out for an hour before bed. Night all.

    :lol:Nothing wrong with the original word Bob, when used in it's proper context :lol: As long as you got a decent sleep that's all that matters, even though it's not very productive ;) At the bare minimum, has to be worthwhile doing :lol: Sounds like a great idea. But you know how Councils...

    Ahh, peace and quiet you can't beat it to get the creative juices flowing :D I've always fancied doing some metal detecting. But if I didn't find anything within a coupe of hours, I'd probably get bored and go home :lol: Before we had the four bins, we used to have a large plastic box for...

    That's the thing, once you get engrossed in a job, the time can zoom by. We had the same problem with the original digging out stage. I remember digging allsorts of debris up, including an old bag of cement that had fully set and half a wheelbarrow :lol: No sign of buried treasure though :(...

    That's a beauty George. I wonder if they do the boxes, without any internals - would make a superb project build. EDIT - just had a look and I think they do. Just need to translate the page now so I can have a proper look.

    Had a busy couple of days with work again. Not much to report on the vapemail front either, apart from the 18350 battery tray arriving from modmaker. However, next week should be a bumper week at "trouble towers". I'm expecting delivery of : 1). 3D printed battery trays from an ebay seller in...

    :lol::lol::lol: Or maybe all of the options. Not really, the spring is only 20-25 quid. But it's the labour charge that's the killer. Some people are just to lazy to run a business. When I was self employed, I was putting in a minimum of 12 hour days, sometimes up to 18 hours. The initial...

    I'll be honest, in the 7 years I've had it, it's been a cracking runner. Just hope the rain holds off on Sunday, won't be able to fix it until then. Luckily, I can borrow my Step-son's car for Friday and Saturday. Tried calling a couple of "mobile" mechanics to see if they'd be interested in...

    Had a bit of a nightmare this morning. Left the house at 5.40 for work, jumped in the car and set off. As soon as I turned the wheel all hell broke loose. Sounded like a Heavy Rock drum solo. In a straight line, peaceful and quiet. Over a bump, or turning the wheel - bang, thump, grind. Limped...

    :lol::lol: I think my Mum still has her 35mm. I know she now uses a decent point and shoot, but you could create some cracking pictures with that old 35mm. That's a huge plot, ours is about 25' by 20'. I have managed to cram a fair bit in there though. Notice I use the term "I". The Wife...

    Well as you're throwing in the atty too, it would be rude not :laugh: If you can get a price for postage and PM me the info, I'll take it off your hands mate. I'm not bothered if you want to send it basic 2nd class or recorded delivery, whichever way you're most comfortable with. If Paypal is...
