'Tis!
....I'm working ...not sure what everyone else is doing! I'm tired too ...4.30 when I went to bed this morning.Had to take a step backwards after finding a glitch in the painting I've been doing for the past 8 days. Scraped down to canvas, cleaned off with turpentine, did two layers of paint ...still repainting detail on it now!

Bloody heck, thats a bit of a bummer trish
Hope all is well with Ian, as he seems to have gone absent again. I kept looking through the night last night, but there was no activity at all on here.I almost threw it, but after spending so long on it already and the canvas costing around £15, I decided to just get on with trying to fix it. (I had a ridge of paint 1/4" from the edge of a bowl and being on a smooth background, it showed!Bloody heck, thats a bit of a bummer trish
I'd finished a medallion design on the bowl too, and part of it dissolved with the turps., so that's what I'll need to re-do next ...tomorrow now! I'm too tired. I've repainted the background (3 graduated colours: dark green, earth green and gold ochre) - the warm dark background I use most often would have been far easier! Typical.
By rights, I should have been well into the next small painting!
Never mind. Can't lengthen the days!In a happier vein ...one of the galleries sold a painting this weekend! First they've sold for me since May! Really happy!
Did you check your 'likes' for yesterday evening? I saw that Ian had at least looked in. Wasn't exactly scintillating conversation though so he probably tip-toed out again
I just found something rather nice: Had a small bottle of the NT Strawnilla (Strawberry Frenilla) - Hadn't used it because it's a PG/VG mix. Just thought to dig out my Strawberry Vapetto, and added around 20% Strawnilla to a tank of it. Very nice! Like crushed strawberries and cream with some waffle biscuit! I can't use much strawberry as it's one of the fruits that give me problems, so can only use it for a few minutes at a time.
I also have a strawberry and guava one from Velvet Cloud that I could use the Frenilla with too now and then.
I don't usually go for banana ones, but Velvet Cloud have two that sound rather good - one is banana chocolate & coffee/cream, the other is banana cream, custard & vanilla. I may try a small bottle of those at some point.
Been busy going up mountains on the edge of the highlands this weekend, although yesterday evening did get a chance to try my new plume veil RDA clone. Put a 0.2-0.3 ohm dual parallel coil in there and wow that RDA can produce clouds. Great flavour as well. Seems a well built clone as well so might become my go to RDA ahead of the magma.
Sorry to interrupt
whats the general consensus on ordering from fastech for delivery to the UK ?
good experience, bad experience ?

I have just had my first order and second on the way. No complaints so far.
I tip-toed in whilst you were on, saw nothing had been posted and went back to watching some of my recordings, then fell asleep about 23:30, wifey woke me up at 01:40 and went to bed...
No worries for the interruption my friend.
I've had several orders (with another on the way) and it's taken 10-20 days each time I think, usually around 2 weeks but could be longer. No problem with customs for me personally. I order and try to forget about it for a week or two so you're not just waiting for it to arrive.
If you are not ordering batteries or anything that contains a battery, then when you get to the choice of carriers, select 'other options' and choose China Post, it is normally the fastest, Swiss Post was the slowest of the lot for me and cost and extra $1.
You aren't interrupting ...that's what the thread is for
(we just chatter a lot too!)FastTech are good - I've had quite a number of orders and they're fine!
Oh yeah forgot to mention the battery issue. Bob have you ever ordered anything with batteries in or just plain batteries? is there a customs issue or is it just that you have to get the sloooow shipping option?
I've used the Singapore post delivery option by the way for those delivery times I stated, and am trying out China Post as per Bob's recommendation for the orders I'm waiting for. Also I usually make my orders around $20 or over as you get the China or Singapore delivery free then. It costs extra if the order is significantly below $20.
Thanks for the prompt replies .... only ordered toppers so shouldn t be a problem
I've got my first order of something with a battery in [ohm checker that was highly recommended] waiting to ship, best person to ask is Trish as I think she has bought a few eGo/EVOD style mods from FT, don't know if Terry has bought loose batteries from them, but as far as I know the problem is the shipper, some of them are now refusing to accept anything with batteries in or loose batteries, this order is going via Malaysia Post.
I know that if you look on the RM website about things that are not allowed it states Lithium Batteries, but I've had lots of them delivered by RM from e-cig shops in this country, and the labelling has clearly stated Lithium batteries within.
I have also imported batteries direct from Andrew Wan (AW) in China but he always sends via Surface Mail (Ship) with no problems
Most of those are fairly good, always best to look at the reviews tab to see if there are any adverse comments, I've had quite a few good clone RDAs/RBAs from them, but get most of my Aspire, Kanger types from UK sources because I have had a couple of duff ones of those from them (they weren't marked as Authentic on the website and I prefer Authentic Aspire, Kanger etc.)

Whoopi, sold a painting = more vape money
Only kidding trish, well done. I don`t do banana vapes myself, it is one of a few which just doesn`t appeal to me.
Indeed i have bob, plenty of times in the past, but not recently. Like yourself i now buy all my batteries from the uk, and i have had no issues whatsoever.
Yes, had three orders with that type of battery in it. All good, no problems - think they took around 16-18 days. They show the shipping method to use when placing the order.
It is good! Goodness knows how long before another one gets sold ..probably my exhibition early November (I hope they sell some!) Still, this one is better than nothing.Whoopi, sold a painting = more vape money
I don't need too much 'stuff' at the moment: got a lot of Chefs Vapour & Nicoticket to be getting on with, plus a few others I haven't even tried yet. I do buy the V2 & BVC coils quite regularly so that I have plenty to hand.
I'm waiting for that new IPow 2 1600 battery to come into stock at UK Ecigstore though (or anywhere else that has them at a decent price when they arrive). I like the batteries that last longer between charging!
I may stock up on a few more Nicoticket before they run out of the short run ones I want. May be some time before they appear again because they're changing things a bit soon. That Strawnilla is really nice even if I do have to mix it with 80% of a different VG one! Same with the Got Cookie!
Those banana Velvet Cloud ones just sound a bit less banana than some others ...must admit, banana isn't something I've liked much so far even if the NT one was just like fresh bananas before they get too ripe. I may get a 5ml sample size of them at some point.

Where is the exhibition being held trish ? If it isn`t too far away i may have a ride there
I am the same with vape gear now, and don`t need anything at all hardware wise. All i need to do these days, is just keep stocking up with lovely liquids.
I've tried a few banana ones, as my favourite milk drink/shake is banana, and I like the fruit as well, but I haven't really found one that is anything like them, they are either too sickly sweet or just taste horrible. CVs Banoffee Cookie Dough is one that is okay that has banana in it, but I can't really taste it too much.
