Anyone here used fasttech.

Oh god I'm old. Jrr is great, yeah - but for the real skinny hit Beowulf. Then (later) decent middle English lyrics. Then Chaucer (funnier than Wodehouse). And for what they used to call creative fiction - John Wyndham. Or "Turtle Diary" by Russell Hoban. Oh - sorry to hear about the demise of Famous Seamus - but top poet of the 20th C has to be Philip Arthur Larkin. By a clear mile.

I keep on meaning to pick up Beowulf, but the last 3 times I've been ready to buy it, it's either out of stock or I see something else that takes my fancy. I will pick it up one day though.

I'm trying to remember which John Wyndham book we had at school, I remember we had to study it for course work in English Literature, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one

Hello and I'm from Heysham, just outside Morecambe/Lancaster - born in Manchester (well, Failsworth)



A brief synopsis of the wheel of time would be; Group of friends in their teens live in a quiet little village on their world (similar to middle earth type world). One day a woman (with magical powers) comes to the village and takes the friends on what becomes a good versus bad epic adventure. There are lots of similarities between The wheel of Time and LOTR - its pretty much nailed on that if you enjoyed LOTR you will enjoy these books too.

I've always read quite a lot - i used to read horror mainly, although 80% of it was Stephen King with a bit of James Herbert, Peter Straub, and Clive Barker thrown in. It's almost all fantasy / horror these days but i do read at least one of the short-listed booker prize novels each year (Narcopolis this year). Currently loving Haruki Murakami's books - many of which are bound to be future 'classics'

Well thanks for the synopsis, looks like I'll be adding the wheel of time to my Christmas books list.

What I like to do is, watch the film version first then I buy the book. Then I spend the next week reading and thinking to myself "well that bit was done differently in the film". But 90% of the time I do prefer the written copy to the theatrical one. I can always tell if it's an engrossing read, when I look at the clock and realise that I've been reading for the last 6 hours - to me that's the sign of a good book

Question? Is everything from Fast tech a clone?

Oh i forgot to mention,

I got one of my X9 protanks last week, after giving it a good cleaning i tried a dry burn nada, zilch dead. so i relaced the coil with one of mine, filled it up and tried it. i have to say i wasn`t really impressed!

To much gurgling, and leaking. so i just removed the coil a couple of times to blow it through and percivered. i am on my third fill now, and it is a lot better; no gurgles and no leaks.

Yep i am blasting away on it right now with no issues. And to continue, i got my liqua apple today and i am going to drip some in the trident very soon. (will report back) with my thoughts.

No mate, they sell a lot of genuine stuff as well.

Cutting SS cable rope,no problem.

Well, I came hot to find a pink slip from the mail man :/ Shipment from China, but not sure what it is since everything shows that it's in Hong Kong LOL

As far as reading suggestions, I am making lists... I may have read many of the suggestions since the names are very familiar =] I am a horror/sci fi buff, so the likelihood is that I have read many of the suggested title but I've read so much material that I don't remember

Hmmm - how a bout The Day Of The Triffids? The Midwich Cuckoos? Chocky?

I had all those issues until I swapped out the original head. The heads also have to be in very tightly, otherwise gurgle gurgle. They're great imho.

No. If you see eg "Kangertech Protank" then it's genuine. If you just see "Protank" it's a clone.

They do take a bit of tinkering mate. Of the 4 I've got had to fiddle with 2 of them, the other 2 worked out of the box after a good clean. I like a good gurgle though, lets me know I'm doing some heavy vaping

My Wife keeps telling me to buy a Kindle, but I say no. I'd rather have the feel of a book in my hand, when I'm reading. Plus, there's quite a few in my collection that I'll read again and again. Knowing my luck, if I had an electronic copy, I'd probably end up deleting it

How many orders have you got outstanding Lisa ??? You must have been on a buying frenzy, if you can't remember what's in the post

 

[trouble1000]

Chocky does ring a bell to be honest. But back at school I was too busy eyeing up the girls than getting engrossed in a good book - you know how raging hormones work

I have a ton of books but I love my Kindle. Particularly handy for holidays. Taking a complete library with you in your hand-luggage leaves you spoilt for choice - which is nice. And don't worry about accidentally deleting stuff - imho that's nigh-on impossible.

 

[lisancentraltx]

I agree that ebooks are a good alternative =] You just need to fix your mind to accept the actual 'device' that you use as a 'book'. I've gotten several types of ereaders, a $12 out of China, to the original Kindle, to the Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Really, it's an entire library in the palm of your hand as many of the titles mentioned here can be found online =]

I've got the Bolt/Volt clone coming alone, an order of RBAs like the Trident, an order for a friend with some eGos, and finally I just got a message saying I've some drip tips being shipped apart from their original order - so 4 packages coming from China. Who knows which package it is... they all say Hong Kong now :/

 

[trouble1000]

I know that e-readers are a good idea and I probably will get one eventually. I guess I'm just old fashioned with books. I like the feel and weight of a book, turning a page, the way the edges discolour over time and the ridges on the cover sleeve. For me it's a sensory thing. Like I said I'm just old fashioned

Glad you haven't got any liquids on order Lisa. I'm hearing reports that some shipments are being delayed because of tighter security at airports - mainly the ones containing liquids or batteries.

 

[Codz]

I probably wouldnt have gone out and bought an e-reader, but the last time i got a new phone contract it came with a free kindle fire hd, which i have to say i now love. I split my book buying 50/50 now between the kindle and paper books, and the fire hd has the added bonus of quick internet access and great for mobile gaming.

Trouble... just read your bit about eliquids being delayed... typical, ive just done my first order with fast tech for 3X30ml

 

[lisancentraltx]

I understand the preference for books as well =] My favorites are in both forms LOL Nothing beats a book while your soaking in a tub!

Yes, I've been watching the same reports with FT... I've got eGos coming in and hope they aren't held back - there is no juice, so I am hopeful.
