Possible, might look at WTA, is 100% VG. Here is a thread to give you some info.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/553603-my-experience-wta.html

Here are the 3 places I know that sell it,
Unflavored WTA Whole Tobacco Alkaloid 20 MG
Mothers Milk WTA :: 15ml Unflavored WTA
wholecig.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=93&product_id=104

I Have tried all 3, and here is my thread on the subject.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/554277-where-best-wta-unflavored.html

You don't vape it by itself, you mix it at 5% to 10% in your regular juice, Hope that helps.

Well, for all it was ordered/sent the day after Aroma, the Whole Cig one has arrived today: 17mg WTA Menthol.
I'm sitting here eyeing it with something like alarmed caution :laugh: ...and to think I used to light up cigarettes without a second thought! :ohmy:

Anyway, I currently have an Evod tank with some 0.6mg Steamgunk menthol in it, so seeing this WTA is menthol, I think I may put some of it in with that!
The tank is currently around 3/4 full so I thought I'd just fill it up with the WTA. See what that's like!

Says "(Not an upgrade version)", so that means you would have to do a clean install and loose any data on the computer, and also have to reinstall all other programs. When I have run into this, first thing I did was go to the computer mfg website and download ALL the hardware drivers for the computer for the new OS, Windows 7, and make sure they have them all, which you should do anyway and burn them on a CD/DVD or put on an external drive. Like your sound card, if it is and old computer, might not have win7 drivers, win7 may have some that will work, but won't know until you install it.

With an "upgrade version" it installs over the top of what you have, and most times can be un-installed if need be, but sometimes not.

Laptops are more of a PITA to upgrade than Desktops. It was not worth it to me to upgrade my 7 year old XP laptop, so I just got a refurbished Desktop, refurbished 23" flat panel monitor, and wireless keyboard/mouse, all for less than $400.

Confusing No :facepalm:

Correct, it will install over the top of it and convert the OS to win7

What do i actually look for when shopping online for it ? iIs it just windows 7 upgrade ?
Correct. You have several versions. You will have 32 bit and 64 bit, you want to install 32 bit. On Windows 7 there is "Home Premium", "Professional", and "Ultimate". The Pro and Ultimate work better in a business setting, they network with other computers better and the security on the network is better. Home Premium should be fine for your use. Search for "Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit Upgrade". Make sure it is new, I did a quick look on ebay.co.uk and there were some for sale that are used, which means the code might not work, or it might not register with MS.

Good Luck :nun:

Worst case is doing a full install :D. Regardless before you install anything, download the hardware drivers for your computer for windows 7, to be on the safe side.

I don`t mind doing a full install burnie, but as for downloading drivers etc, i wouldn`t know where to start. :confused:

Well say you have a Dell, Go to dell.com, look for the support tab/button/link, then look for drivers. At some point they will ask what model computer you have, some have a service sticker that will identify for them what is installed in your computer.

Another thing to think about, will your computer run windows 7 properly, does it have enough RAM, fast enough processor, are you running out of hard drive space, make sure you can answer those questions.

This will get you to selecting type, then model
Lenovo Support - Drivers & Software (US)
There are about 15 or so thinkpad's, so you Really need the model.

Well going to pop off, get a shower, get another beer (or 3), and relax in the spa with the DW. Catch You Later :D

you are normally safe with windows 7 as it detects your components after install and installs the necessary drivers.

I've never needed to install drivers manually bar maybe your network card driver to first get onto the internet. and i've installed loads of times on different machines.

What machine have you got? make/model?

To find your network/components and the drivers you need, go to control panel then device manager.

Capture.jpg

it will be worth looking at 'system' in control panel too, to see how much memory is installed. if its more than 3gb then you'll need to install 64 bit to get then full use of your memory.

hope my 2 cents helps.

We were going to move up to Oban after my husband retired. It's where my Dad's Mother and her family were from, and we always felt 'at home' when visiting there (I worked with a gallery up there for some years). The thing we realised though is that although we wouldn't want to be ill, should we need a hospital, it's 3 hours by road or rail to the bigger hospitals - whoever was not ill would have gruelling trips or none at all. Not a good idea! ...and it was the year after that we found the child minder in residence behind us!
Can't win sometimes! :)

Sounds like my heaven Trisha, I'd have moved there in a heartbeat if I had the chance. I'm the sort of person that doesn't worry about sickness etc, so the hospital issue wouldn't have even crossed my mind. I'd still need good internet access though :laugh:

lucky escape there Terry mate get under that bed cleaned as it will return one day mine is spotless Ian if you ever do the full coach move you wont look back it was the best thing I ever did I never do schools I always do distance so the pressure is there to be on time all the time but the tips are great I love it when you have the open roads and traffic jams at the destination end that is when the big tips come in as most of the public think you get paid only for the journey not the time so you just say nowt and sit back and vape the tips

I just wish there was a National Express depot close by Ron, I'd have the application in yesterday :laugh: The local coach companies all do some school work, some more than others. I know I moan sometimes about my job, but to be honest, for me, there's nothing better in the area at the moment.

Ok burn thanks, just bloody crashed again this thing. i will have a look at the links My lappy is an IBM lenovo thinkpad, but i don`t know which model.

I was going to suggest looking at the windows website Terry, see if you can upgrade from there - probably be expensive though.

It might be worth a quick look later Ian, i am just wondering if they could install it remotely.

Like I said mate, will probably be expensive. But you'll get free upgrades and probably a guarantee with it. I get regular upgrades with mine, as it was pre-installed under license when I bought the lappy.

To be honest Terry, Based on your specs it might be worth holding back on one or two new mods and take the plunge into a new lappy like this.

Dell Inspiron 15 3531 500GB 4GB DDR3 Dual Core 15.6" HD Screen | eBay

If you can pick up this for £200, with a Dual core 2.4 processor, 4gb ram, Windows 8.1 and Hdmi out to connect to your tv and you know you are set for a good few years and you wont have to go through the trouble of upgrading your laptop now which could cost a little and end up upgrading your laptop in a year or so.

Just something to consider. :)
