Mine's on all the time during the day, just in case one of my friends texts me, but if I'm only going round the shop I rarely take it with me, it's mainly for the wife to get in touch if she needs me, when I'm not at home.
The family and friends have iPhones so just send me an email if they need to send something quick. I'm rarely far from the computer because I use it for my work.
There are odd times I'd send a text, but not that often.
If only one of us is out and about further than local then we do take the phone with us.

I have a phone call package with my ISP but it doesn't include mobile calls. £6 month gives me as many landline calls as we need.

ah, but in those days we had clippies, who would soon give you a clip round the ear, and if you told your dad you would get another one.
Oh yes! I don't think it did us any harm to have that discipline either! They did report us to the school though if we were unruly.
Soon taught us to behave if we wanted no trouble!

Cleaned on of my russians out today, and filled her up with SD&C. Bloody hell i have missed this juice so much :) The only problem i had was it was the russian which has a rather tight draw, so i stuck a thick needle down the afc hole and give it a good wiggle. and yep it worked, it has really opened the draw up now (could have been a bit of crap) blocking the airhole.

Anyway, as the juice is 18 mg there really isn`t much throat hit, so after reading bob`s post about v v mods i remembered i had a kick in my vape box. Quickly i changed the nemmy tube from 350 to 500, put it together with the kick, and my oh my what a difference. :D.

I have got the kick on it`s highest setting which i think is 15 watts, with a coil which is around 1.5 ohms, now i don`t know what that equates to regarding output etc, but it is bleeding marvellous. I am so happy i remembered i had this kick, cheers to bob for reminding me, even though you didn`t intend to do so.:laugh:

Apart from the burning method of the coil, is there anything I can do to help the Jamaican Ginger not gunk it up too quickly?

It may be something to do with the fact I use all VG instead of a mix (apart from flavouring), so I'm wondering if there's something I could add to it in the tank to help it not do that ...a little vodka? I could get one of those tiny bottles of it (I don't drink it). Or even a little bit of water...

I love the Jamaican Ginger, but a few hours at most is all I'm getting without it being hard work for little result regarding flavour and vapour :(

If it would help, I suppose I could get the Chefs to make a 10ml bottle with PG and add it to the bigger bottle, then use it with care, but if there's another simple way to deal with it I'd like to hear.

Duh! sounds like an excuse to me! :rolleyes:

Oh! I went to Vapourart but the VG heavy isn't total VG- says it's half way between 50/50 and total VG, and it looks as though it's zero nicotine that they have. I'll just have to keep watching for it coming back on the GVC site.
Thanks for the links though :)

I'm really quite a shy retiring person, although you can't tell that from the forum, my phone is hopeless with pics honestly :laugh:

Oh well, it gives you a couple more sites to keep an eye on. Sometimes Grant releases different mixes at different times, so I'm sure you'll find some eventually. In fact you can always send him an e-mail from his site, he's a great guy. I asked him last year about stock and he got back to me really quickly with links :D

That's a brilliant way of dealing with phone ignorance! I want one of those!!! :D I do avoid the supermarket when I can, but if I have to go, I nearly always get close to someone shouting into a phone or standing there having a phone conversation when I need to be where they're standing! How wonderful if I could just surreptitiously switch them off!
I'm afraid I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to phones being used outside the house - they're a darn nuisance!
I've even resisted becoming a slave to one and only take mine with me if going further than a couple of miles away or know I'll need it. Other than that, it lives in a drawer! ;)


Nice strategy! :)
I remember my days of using the school bus - if we were too noisy or running around, the driver/bus company told the school and we all got into trouble! Lines, detention ...no prior warning either!

Some people seem to be surgically attached to their phones these days. I can get people on the bus on a mega early shift at 4.30 in the morning and their chatting away - who are they talking to at that time :confused:

Problem down here is no one pays these days, it all Oyster Card, tap in to travel, but love the Jammer idea :)

Mine is also 'grand mal' although they call it something different these days and was on PhenoBarb when we met, soon got her off that, she has loads of meds these days, including some for heart problems, the same as me, I have a blocked artery that can't be unblocked, her meds include 11 in the morning, 4 afternoon and 4 at night, and although most of the time she is okay, she has episodes maybe two or three times a year, when she has maybe one or two a day for a couple of days at a time.

She also has mild episodes, when she will be in her chair and just sort of start mumbling and become unresponsive for a minute, returning to normal after about 5 minutes, I have a home help come in daily to help her with having a wash etc, and give me a bit of a rest, they also cover extra hours if I go abroad on one of my jaunts, just to make her a meal and make sure she takes her meds.

It's good that you can get a break occasionally Bob, everyone needs a bit of "me time" now and then. My Wife is the same with the pills, she has about 10 different ones every day - I say she rattles when she walks :laugh:

I remember the first Christmas we spent at my parents after we met. It had been a really long day, visiting different people and we got to my parents about 6pm for Christmas dinner. We were just about to go into the dining room to eat and the Wife took a wobbler. So I sorted out her breathing, moved anything breakable out of the way and put her in the recovery position after she'd finished the convulsions. Then I said, come on lets eat. My Dad was horrified, he said your just going to leave her on the rug like that. I told him, she'll be fine now. It takes her an hour or so to come round afterwards, if you try talking to her she's totally unresponsive. So just leave her to come round in her own time. But my Dad insisted we eat in the lounge so we could keep an eye on her :D After the hour she'll just get up and carry on what she was doing before the fit, like nothing has happened - that amazes me sometimes that she's no recollection of what's just happened.

Thanks for that bobw,

I am a bit impatient when it comes to vapemail so that is probably enough to put me off ordering from them.

Alright Paul, not seen you around for a while. Enjoying the F1 so far ??

I'd still recommend FT for stuff, best thing to do is order it and forget about it. It all comes through eventually, just don't order anything you want desperately.

Well that's a good result with the Russian mate. I had a feeling it might be some crud somewhere :D

You're vaping at about 4.8 volts with that set up Terry. Just have a look here mate, very good chart to have around :

http://thevaperstable.com/wp-content/uploads/Safe-Vaping-Power-Chart1.jpg

------------------------------------------

Had a great nights sleep last night, thanks to the new tablets :D But I missed getting to the PO unfortunately with Trisha's parcel.

I have been doing some more coiling though.

Think I've finally cracked the Aios. Just used cotton this time with a micro coil. But used a different fill method this time. So far so good, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's ok this time :D

Rewicked the Russian again, I think the cotton pad I used last time was a bad one - the cotton had completely snapped in the coil, I know I didn't put it in too tight to begin with. But that's fixed now.

Then I thought as I'm on a roll. I'll try another dual nano coil in my KFL. Took me about half an hour this time. Two 13 wrap coils on a tiny gauge needle came out at 0.7 ohms. A tiny amount of cotton through each one and it's fog time :laugh:

Trish get youself a little 306 dripping atty, not much good for out and about but for use at home would be great. when the coil gunks up, just run it under hot water dry burn and blow off the crud.

They have them on sale at cloud 9 vaping ATM, and are cheap as chips.

there's not really much you can do Trisha. Darker and thicker liquids will always gunk up a coil quicker than lighter thinner liquids. If you add vodka, it will dilute the flavour a little but should increase the throat hit a bit. If you add distilled water that will just dilute the flavour again. You can use vodka or distilled water if you don't mind the loss of flavour. It might be best to ask CV to make you up a batch with some distilled water and extra flavour shots, that way the juice will be thinner but still have the same flavour :D

They had some cheaper ones the other day but must have sold out. you will need to get a 306 drip tip as well.

I did send him an email yesterday asking if he could give me a rough idea when there'd be more available, and mentioned that I'd be looking for 100%VG at 0.6mg, but only got a 'recorded message' type email back saying they'd be doing more as soon as possible.
I've tacked the site onto my favourites bar and will keep checking!

Some people seem to be surgically attached to their phones these days.
Yes, they seem paranoid if they aren't available 24/7! There's specially designed pockets for them, special handbag slots and wallets
...even iPad size cases! I see people walking down the street looking at them! Puts a whole new slant on the 'ghetto blaster' carrier!

Why, the Phone Addiction Helpline of course! ;)

To be honest, I haven't a clue how to even begin using it - I've looked at them, but can't work out what I'm supposed to do with it :confused:

Sounds like a plan!
I'll wait to see if any of the others do the same, and order them all at once so that it's worth them messing around!
I'm starting to think that either the Confusion or the RY will do the same (unless the coil needs changing) I like them both mixed.

I don't think the Spottedick does that, nor the Fluffy Nuts, but only had the Mint Choc Vapetto a couple of days so will have to see about that one (it's very nice!). :)

That is unusual, when I contacted Grant last year, he got back to me within a couple of hours and he was even on holiday in Spain at the time. Maybe he's got that busy now he's hired staff to answer e-mails, or he's got an auto-reply service set up now.

What would the world do without mobile phones :evil::laugh:

Yep I really needed that sleep last night. Hope it carries on the same way in the future :D

It seemed too fast a reply to be anything other than automated. It was evening though so perhaps he may reply properly after the weekend. We'll see.

Quite nicely without, as it did before :)
...still, they do have some very vital plus points in certain situations though.

I hope Grant does get back to you, I'd hate to think that he's gone automated, the personal touch means a lot in Business.

Might be a bit uncomfortable having your toes crossed all night, you can uncross them if you want :laugh:

Well I've finished off dripping the other juices now :

Strawberry New York Cheesecake - DIY again, not too bad this one, perfectly vapable.

Treacle sponge - I prefer this one out of the juices that Terry kindly sent me. Does taste like a treacle sponge, nice vape.

Juicy fruit - to be honest, I'm not really keen on the gum. Does taste like it though.

Strawberry custard - DIY again. I like this one :)

Dead easy to use trish, attatch it to your battery, pull off the sleeve, attatch the drip tip which you will need to buy. Drip 3 or 4 drops of your liquid, and vape away.

I've seen some top class smaller businesses totally spoiled by growing to big too soon and losing the personal touch.
Still, may not be the case there :)

Having my toes crossed beats having my fingers or eyes crossed: I need them both to work :laugh:
...besides, having crossed eyes makes people uncomfortable :D :blink:

Well i am glad that you like one of them Ian. Just doing a bit of dripping myself the jamaican ginger from chefs. I have to say that i am getting loads of cake, but not to much ginger, but there is a hint there. They only arrived wednesday, so one to come back to in a few more days i think.

So it gets screwed onto the battery (I have Kanger standard 650 & 1000 and Kanger eSmart ...510 I believe) - put on a tip and add liquid then use? ...not liquid before the tip? ...is the tip like a mouthpiece or does it hold the liquid ...and if so, how does it not get in your mouth?
Sorry for the confusion & questions - it's probably simple as you say, just can't quite visualise it.:blush:

If you don't mind, send me links to the items I need and I'll give them a try.

I liked it straight away, but didn't get too much ginger. Left it in the clearomiser overnight and it had more ginger next day, but it did get better in the following week.
It was the first cake type one I'd had that didn't give me problems, so that's why I liked it so much right away :)
