Well you lot have been busy in my absence :laugh:

Didn't feel like coming on yesterday. I had a really cr*p day at work and unusually for me I just didn't fancy chatting :( Normally, I can let most things go over my head. But yesterday was just one of those days ....gggrrrr !!!

Amyway, it's all done with now and today's a new day :D

=================================

I'll second Terry's recommendation for Pinacolada from JJ. To be honest out of the 10 juices I got from him, that was the best one for me.

Was hoping my last FT order would ship today but it looks like they'll be sending it out tomorrow now - their still waiting on one item to come back in stock. Still no sign of the order sent by Malaysia Post yet - the one with the batteries. Plus my Jwraps haven't arrived yet. No vapemail for me :cry:

it will come eventually are you feeling better today cant beat vapemail :p

It was just one of those days where every passenger seemed to be moaning about something, you get days like that sometimes - thankfully not all that often on the routes I do :D

You never know some post might arrive tomorrow.

Have you tried the Red Bull yet Ron ??

I think I'm gonna do some dripping this weekend with my new DIY juices. Four of them have changed colour now (after a week) and the other two are on the change now - so they should be ok to try soon.

The Missus has asked me to do some zero nic juice in my secret choco/caramel mix. She smokes occasionally, about twice a year. But I've told her about how the sweeter juices help me with cravings for desserts after meals, she wants to lose a bit of weight, so it's worth a try.

Must admit, I've lost weight since I started vaping, so it's worked for me :D

Think I'll put on the bottle for the Missus "Will aid weight loss as part of a calorie controlled diet" - I'm sure she'll appreciate that :laugh:

How's your Brother getting on with vaping Ron ??

Well as long as he's happy with it that's the main thing. When he gets bored of the 3 for a tenner juice, there's plenty of great sites to order from. Then again, he might just stick with the cheaper stuff and be happy with it. My Sister and Niece both vape the same juice and have done from the start. I couldn't do that though, I get bored too easily with just one juice :laugh:

Anyway, got an early start tomorrow, so I'd better go. Terry will probably appear now, he usually does when I log off :laugh:

See you later mate.

The FT wait has begun for me now... checking for shipping updates ahhhh i forgot what fun it was! The menthol and cartos/protank heads have shipped, but the berry mix is still waiting although it said in stock so puzzled as to why that's not on its way too.

I've been trying my hand at microcoils and they do seem easier to put together - i was aiming for 1.5 - 1.8ohms and managed 1.8 on my first attempt. Alas, after a couple of pulses it shorted out then with a little fiddling came back, but at 3.7ohms :(

Anyhow, I'm gonna stick with trying microcoils... they make more sense to me as you are often limited with space and just seem easier to do. I've had success with getting them on the trident, just need to get one on the KFL and I'll be happy.

I was trying to think of the bits and bats i want last night and its daft how much stuff you think you need!

- 2nd provari w/ ext.cap, beauty ring and 2 650 batts = £230
- Sophia w/slim tank pro, ext. body and pack of ceramic coils = £80
- 2nd IBT tank = £40
- various juices in 30ml or 50ml bottles (i'm rarely going to bother with anything less now, i just want lots of my favourites) = £150

I'm getting a bonus from work this month so it's tempting to go get it all, but I'm gonna try and be sensible and just get another IBT or big boaby and then maybe £80 worth of juice. If i can stick to a budget for the next 3 or 4 months then I'll get the sophia and the provari.

i think everyone does that at the moment thinks big then orders smaller :p enjoy your vape:p

Cheers mate! I havent bought much vapegear for a while so i figure its about time i allowed myself another wee treat ;)

The bad (or good) thing with vaping is that its too easy to justify spending money on new mods, toppers, juices, etc because when you think naaaa i shouldnt spend that much, then the other half of the brain kicks in and says 'yeah, but you were spending 3 times that much on dirty cigarettes so go and buy whatever you like!' :toast:

that would not be a bad idea put your ... money in a jar every day then when you need vape gear if the money is there bingo no guilt but if its not there tough and wait until it is it would be a good way of control and with fags you have nothing to look at with vaping lots and lots of toys :laugh::p:laugh:

Just buy them all Cody, you know you want to really :evil::laugh:

Seriously though, I'd say just go with the juice and any new items that you haven't tried before. As you know mate, I've done the same myself, been tempted by the "magpie syndrome" ;)

When you're building your micro-coils do you torch them before you put them on the atty ??

This should help keep the coils together when you fit them. Also keep the coil on the drillbit until you've got them fully fitted.

If the ohm reading jumps up again, try gently squeezing the coils together again with tweezers and if you can pop the drillbit back in to get the shape back.

With the micros being so short in length they can open up when you put them on the atty. As well as the tips above, try pre-shaping the coil legs before you fit the coil. It doesn't matter so much if the coil legs end up being longer than you think they should be, it won't alter the resistance too much. It's better to have longer coil legs and tight windings on the coil :)

The offers still there for this weekend if you fancy paying me a visit mate. We'll soon get that Kayfun up and running :D

I tried doing something similar Ron at the start, but it didn't work :oops: I decided I was only gonna spend £20 per week on vaping (instead of the £55 I was spending on cigs). Worked for a while, then I found fasttech and all the other mod making companies :laugh:
Magpie syndrome kicked in - that looks shiny, I think I'll buy it :laugh:

I know I've saved some money vaping, but probably not as much as I could have saved :p

So how about an update :D

Royal Mail tried to deliver my FT order today, but no-one was in too sign for it. So I'll pick it up tomorrow after work. The good news is it contains batteries, so it looks like Malaysia Post is the way forward for battery shipments. Here's what I ordered :

https://www.fasttech.com/p/1563408
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1540800
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1345500 - these should last a lot longer than the 2250 mAh Panasonics that I've already got.
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1315400 - ordered these for a bit more safety when I sometimes build a coil around the 1.0 ohm mark.

So that's the good news. The bad news is my second order with the Poldiac still hasn't been posted yet. The Poldiac had a scheduled ship date of 10th Feb, yesterday that changed to 11th Feb, today I logged on and it's showing as "Re-stocking" - looks like another Kayfun situation. If they don't post it in a few days, I'll open a ticket and get them to split the order. They've had the other 3 items in stock for ages, so they might as well post them out to me.

=====================

For the last few days I've been vaping some White Gems from triphammer in my Vmod during the day. I've got some serious mouth ulcers now, don't know if the juice is causing it. But when I'm vaping other juices at night, the ulcers aren't as bad. I'm wondering if it's something in the juice that doesn't agree with me - possibly some sort of acetic acid to give the "fizzy" element to the juice. I'll have to stop vaping it for a few days and see if things improve. I hope it's not the juice, cos I really like the flavour :(

:laugh:

I know what you mean mate, I have slowed down on the spending recently - honest :p

The £2500 saving in my siggy is what I would have saved if I hadn't bought any toys. Some of the savings did pay for last years holiday though, so at least I'm getting something out of it :D

I always used to say I'd live til a hundred when I was smoking, so now it will probably be 130 :laugh: I'm gonna be one of those annoying old men with all the stories about when I was a lad :laugh:
