Well if she's czech I doubt that :p

But I'm not entirely sure if it is. At least the guys I'm talking with use wanna, gonna and gotta all the time.

Besides that Germans use English more every day. Because it sounds "fancier" than some German words. Even jobs are announced by their english title. It's riddiculous.
And I think about 95% of all Germans under 50 use wanna, gonna and gotta.


She also speaks German and Austrian German...

I just never read those contractions used, except when I'm speaking with her or other Czech friends...

In Prague it is fashionable to speak in English...

Hillbillies use em. They also say lotta, like thats a whole lotta beavers


It is funny because she mixes it with very proper English. For instance, she will say something like, Will you be so kind as to please take me to the Chodov shopping mall when you visit, because I would like to shop at the UnderArmour store...

I'm sure sometimes I speak proper English as well and sometimes I totally go Yoda.

I bought an isub from innokin and noticed the warning on the box which I think should be pretty standard on all subtanks

I thought long and hard about this before I made Steam Engine. If someone harms themselves because of complacency after using an online calculator, that would be bad. But if someone harms themselves because of complacency not even having using a calculator, that wouldn't be any better.

With better and more accessible information, the number of people making mistakes will hopefully be somewhat smaller. It is similar to using a helmet while riding a bicycle: It can make some people feel invincible, causing them to harm themselves. But all in all, the availability of helmets will prevent more harm than it causes. So I decided to make the tools available.
Thank you for making it! It's made my vaping life much more enjoyable. I know what ballpark figures I'll get, but it's much easier to have that exact number and heat flux and ability to calculate without having my excel spreadsheet with resistance per mm for different gauge wires out.

There was a rash of threads on here not long ago where new vapers were encouraged to get 50 watt iSticks...
I remember participating in the thread where Jason said he thought we should stop recommending it... people said well, mine hasn't caught fire, I'll still recommend em until mine explodes.

When I first posted in the 50W istick thread about the problems we were seeing from our group buy mods, people got angry with me. I felt they needed to know though. I also had some thoughts on why this was happening based on my (limited) experience with changing chips/mod design. I took a lot of flak from those who felt I was squashing their joy. As the weeks went by though, some of those same angry folks had theirs go wonky and then realized it wasn't a reliable device.

I like to think I can look at things impartially. Just because I bought it doesn't mean I'll defend it :). I have 3 working 50W isticks. However, I realize they could go south on me at any time. Because I paid for them, I'm taking my chances on using them. I would feel like scum if I sold them or gave them to someone, and something bad happened. And yes, I'm too cheap to toss something that's working.

However, I'm a safety advocate so I will point out that there has been a high failure rate, including fires and explosions.
