It's not the sort that can be fixed with drugs ...something that can shift slightly in the middle ear, and it's just a case of it shifting back at some point! Could go either way though and make it worse - I'd already had it a year when that happened two years ago while washing my hair, and I haven't been able to wash it myself since. The only surgical option is hit and miss too and can leave patients deaf quite easily.
When it's bad, it's difficult to move my head much. Getting up after being asleep all night is a bad time, as is laying down. Bend down and it's like the floor is coming up to hit me! Makes me feel sick as well as dizzy.
I know there's worse things happen, but it is pretty awful.

OK :) I noticed a few people in the reviews saying they got two. If one is enough, then all the better for me as there's PG in the flavouring.
It could have been something else what my auntie had trish, but i know it was vertigo related.:(

I find one shot is enough for me, i suppose it depends on the inividual.:)

I noticed recently that my 2 month old Spinner ll 1600 battery wasn't holding it's charge as long, and today the green light came on after only an hour on charge.
I did a search and apparently it is a know problem that even Vision are aware of. It's necessary to unplug it turn the voltage all the way up, plug it back in and it'll complete it's charge properly. Seems Vision produced a new USB charger, but I'm fine with the one I have I think now that I know what the problem is and how to deal with it.
Next time I'll look for a different battery! I did see where people found the fasttech Spinner ll 'type' battery works better!

That sound weird having to do that, but if it works all is well.:p

Reo twins, I'm a very happy Father :

Just hope that worked ok, soon find out :laugh:

Upgraded my Reo (the one with the smaller RM2 atty). It now has uprated battery spring, button, positive contacts and an aluminium button cover.
The new Reo (with the larger Stillare atty) already has all the upgraded parts fitted. I had to modify the Stillare atty to make it a bottom feeder. Took it all apart, cut a channel in the positive post and notched out all the O-rings and seals that hold the positive post in place. Fitted a dual coil with 28g kanthal, comes out at 0.8 ohms. I had to use the stainless deck from my other Stillare atty, cos I noticed that when I was using the brass one as a basic dripper, it had turned green on the inside :ohmy:

Had a couple of tiny leaks, so still a bit of fine tuning needed with O-rings under the atty. But overall, I'm really pleased with my DIY modded atty :D Flavour and vapour as good as any dripper, but with an on-board juice supply :toast:

Very nice mate, is your missus fed up with all the squonking going on.:laugh:

I wouldn't say no Trisha :laugh:
I'll bet!
Well, advertising and photographic fees aren't cheap! I paid for a few column inches in a glossy magazine last year, took the photo myself and edited it, wrote the blurb & details, and it still cost me £750!

First time I've used my camera to upload images, so wasn't sure it would work or not. Better pics than the ones off my phone, that's the main thing.
They're good pictures! :)

We almost got to see Terry "in the flesh" too 8-o
...I know! reminded me of that film 'The Fog' :blink: ...except I think Terry's probably more affable than they were! ;)

There's a few different variations - all produce the same sort of effect/symptoms, but are caused by different things. One form is Meniere's Disease, which is what they thought it was for me at first, another is Labyrinthitis, plus a more simple ear infection can cause it.
One treatment for BPPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) is moving the head from side to side whilst laying down ...not nice and can make the patient violently ill.

I find one shot is enough for me, i suppose it depends on the inividual.:)
You like good flavour levels I think just like I do, so if one is fine for you, it should be for me ....I think.
I'm not really taken with Strix so far - they seem a touch weak on the flavour and two I've tried so far have a distinct background taste ..sort of chemical - I can smell it in the bottles too. A third is nice but not very strong. I still have a few to try though!

That sound weird having to do that, but if it works all is well.:p
It appears to have been something to do with where the battery screws to the charger. The one I started charging at 11amand had to turn off and back one again at 12pm finished charging an hour or so ago. They take a long time to charge.

Very nice mate, is your missus fed up with all the squonking going on.:laugh:

She said she doesn't mind, as long as I don't do it in public :laugh:

That's a bit steep considering you did all the work for them :ohmy:

It's only a basic Fuji Finepix camera, probably about 7 years old. But it does what I want, don't take many pictures, so I don't need anything too fancy. Means more money for vape goodies :laugh:

Good film that one. Bit different from the normal slasher film.

And what is wrong with that, prey tell...:laugh:

Nothing mate. Just glad to see that you've managed to trim down a little from your previous pic :evil::laugh:

Yeah i reckon one shot is enough trisha. Shame about the strix ones:( I am getting to the point now where i just use vendors where i REALLY like thier juice, I have wasted a lot of money over the last two years, searching for the holy grail.:D

Aw bless! Means you'se a nice sort! :laugh:

When I had the shop, one of the women that used to work for me suffered from Labyrinthitis. She couldn't go up a small ladder to get stock down and would struggle leaning over to get stock off the bottom shelf. Some times she would be off work for days if she had a bad attack. Not nice at all.

The chemical taste and smell sometimes goes away with a good steep, but if it hasn't gone after a month or so, I'd say that it won't go away at all. which flavours are the worst Trisha ??

Oh aye, i had forgot about that. :laugh:

Such a lovely selfie too, how could you forget about that one :laugh:

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

I've had to add an extra driptip section to the Stillare on the Reo, just did a huge lung hit without thinking about it and nearly burned my lips :laugh: I've been doing shorter mouth to lung hits, so nearly coughed up my insides too :laugh:

Have you tried one of the long tips ian, that should cool it down a bit.:)

Poor cat, you'll give it nightmares :laugh:

To be honest, with it being a 0.8 ohm coil, I'm taking shorter draws and not doing direct to lung hits, so the standard tip is ok. Just when I forget and take a huge draw without thinking it gets a bit warm. It's still a work in progress this new set up. Might lower the coils a bit tomorrow and play around with the O-rings under the base. But I've gone through the full 6ml bottle in 12 hours it's that good so far :ohmy: Think I need to adjust one of the rayon wicks too, the tail is a bit thick on one side - I'll have another play after work tomorrow.

In fact I'd better retire, on an early tomorrow, so night all.

That's a bit steep considering you did all the work for them :ohmy:
You think? It was a 30% discounted price! It was Vogue magazine. They also gave me another discounted last minute slightly smaller entry in the following issue at a further £300.
The galleries usually do all the advertising, but things went very quiet after the recession, so I thought it may help. Waste of money ..not the right magazine. May have been better going with Country Living or another interiors biased one.
It was a first and last for me.

It's only a basic Fuji Finepix camera, probably about 7 years old. But it does what I want, don't take many pictures, so I don't need anything too fancy. Means more money for vape goodies :laugh:
I had my sons 35mm Fuji until I got a Canon 450D and got better photos and without using film! The Fuji was a good camera though.
I've got a Canon 550D now with a Macro lens and a Manfrotto tripod to keep everything steady!

Good film that one. Bit different from the normal slasher film.
Found it a bit creepy - think I suddenly remembered 'something I had to do' while it was on! :laugh:

Doesn`t sound pleasant at all trish, I hope something can be done to help you. :)
It's a case of sitting it out and hoping it settles down soon, or getting the repositioning surgery and risking it! I can be patient sometimes ;)

Yeah i reckon one shot is enough trisha. Shame about the strix ones:( I am getting to the point now where i just use vendors where i REALLY like thier juice, I have wasted a lot of money over the last two years, searching for the holy grail.:D
Just sometimes it's tempting!
I do have to say though, the best for taste and not having too bad an effect on me are CV followed by some of the NT ones that get done in max VG. There's some Velvet Cloud and a couple of Virgin Vapor that I like too. I have three Flavour Art ones yet to try. I liked the idea of those because their flavouring is more highly concentrated so needs less = less PG! :)

Yeah i remember when i used the old ego batteries, 6-8 hours charge.:ohmy:
I see Kanger have a VV Twist 1300 now - it's around £18.50.

Aw shaddap :blush::laugh:
Ha-ha! Touché! :D

I'm exactly the same when it's bad ...leaning sideways too, plus I can't move around in a dim or darkened room without going dizzy too ..must be that we need all our senses working at their peak in subdued light.
The very first time was a bad attack of it in my 30's and had to sleep sitting up for 3 weeks. I'd woken up through the night thinking someone was tipping the bed on it's side! It was 6 weeks before I could go back to work. Hadn't had another bad attack of it until late 2010, and although it settled a good bit last year, it's never gone, and I've not been able to lean forward at all for nearly 2 years.

The chemical taste and smell sometimes goes away with a good steep, but if it hasn't gone after a month or so, I'd say that it won't go away at all. which flavours are the worst Trisha ??
I have 7 altogether with the free one, but only tried three so far, and the two that do taste a bit like that are Delish and Black Honey Cream. The Smitten is nice, just weak on flavour.

:lol: Oh aye, i had forgot about that. :laugh:
I hadn't! First thing I thought was ...Ah, so it wasn't him! :lol: ;)

Thats the reason i went back to a single coil set up mate A- one of the coils was crap, i didn`t notice till i posted the pic :laugh:I blame it on the pain :laugh: and B- .8 ohm with 18 mg juice just doesn`t go hand in hand ( way too harsh )

You must learn to resist temptation trish, it will save you money in the long run. just stick with what you like, snd you won`t go far wrong.:)
I see Kanger have a VV Twist 1300 now - it's around £18.50.
You know where to go when you need another then.:)
Ha-ha! Touché! :D
:lol:
I hadn't! First thing I thought was ...Ah, so it wasn't him! :lol: ;)
Nooooooooooo! 8-o ....you'll give me nightmares too! I found it very traumatic :facepalm: :lol:

Scardy cat :D
Yup! I admit it! I remember when Jaws was first on TV - had just our youngest son and me in the house, and we were both on the sofa. At one point, a little voice came from behind the cushion he had in front of his face: 'so what's happening Mum?' ....'don't know, I've got a cushion in front of my face' ..and we both fell about laughing! :laugh:

Here`s hoping Trish, And if it is patience is what it takes, well good luck anyway.:)
Thanks - hope it settles down quickly this time.

For now, yes! :) ...but you keep telling me about the MB ones! :blink:

You know where to go when you need another then.:)
I suppose - could be something better will be around soon though - you never know what's about to land on us! ;)

Ha-ha!

Aw i thought it was a good photo as well. Ah well just goes to show, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :laugh:
Depends who is doing the beholding!!! :facepalm: :unsure:
