ian, if i remember right, the cappucinno from LT is very nice mate. Why not give it a shot ??

Cheers mate, I've probably got enough left for a couple of months. But once it gets to critical level, I'll have a look at LT :)

I will get the samples to you as well mate, won`t be till next monday though. I have got a doctors appointment tomorrow with my mouth, where i had the tooth pulled at the top back, the pain has been unbearable. I don`t know if i got that dry socket or an infection, but it is bloody sore. At least it`s opposite my chewing side so i can still get grub down me.

Shame there's not an "unlike" button for your teeth mate :( Sounds like dry socket, if you can see white (the bone) rather than the black or dark red of a blood clot, then it will be dry socket. Sorry to hear you're still suffering mate. The Dr will probably give you something decent. The Wife had dry socket a few years ago, got some pills from the Dr and it cleared up in about a week.

No rush for the post, get yourself sorted out first.

Totally agree, nothing wrong in Private companies investing, and having some of the profits for that investment, but they shouldn't have control.
Agreed - all they get concerned about is profits and shareholders, and we pay the price.

If items cost more than £15 then VAT @ 20% on total inc shipping, if items cost more than £135 then if calculated duty is less than £9 you don't pay it, different rates depending on item purchased, ecig hardware is 3.7%, eliquid is 16.6%. Here is a calculator, but you have to clear your cache if you want to use it more than once, or set up a free account
Thanks for that link :) I do try to keep things under £15 when buying anything I know will attract duty/fees otherwise. I actually don't mind paying the duty, it's the £8 fee I object to (more if a courier like UPS is handling it)

I saw another on AAEC forum trying it, he failed as well
Yes, I've seen a few people saying no-one has successfully re-built one.
I've also seen that there are already fakes getting to people!

Another mammoth work day for me.
Signed on at 5.30am. Finished my duty at 2.30pm. Then the Boss said "Ian can you do me a favour, couple of hours route learning another driver?"
No problem, finished showing the new driver the route at 5pm, plus got paid an extra hour for doing it.
Got back to the depot, "Ian, we're desperate, no drivers to cover a piece of work, could you do it please?"
So started at 5.30am finished at 8pm. But as well as the extra hours I did, I'll get paid an extra 3 hours on top (added on tomorrow). I'll soon have my car insurance paid for :laugh: I'm knackered though now
That's a very long day! Wouldn't have thought you'd be able to officially work that long.

I will get the samples to you as well mate, won`t be till next monday though. I have got a doctors appointment tomorrow with my mouth, where i had the tooth pulled at the top back, the pain has been unbearable. I don`t know if i got that dry socket or an infection, but it is bloody sore. At least it`s opposite my chewing side so i can still get grub down me.
So sorry to hear about that! I thought all was well too when you didn't mention it again! :( Hope you get something to fix it quickly!

I'm gonna shoot off now anyway, I'm knackered.

Hope the Dr sorts you out tomorrow mate.

Thanks Ian, i have just got back from the doc`s, and at least it isn`t dry socket, but an infection. He had a look and said it was very inflamed, so prescribed some anti biotics. They should clear it up ok. :)

Typical male me trish and suffer in silence, although the missus wouldn`t agree with that statement.:laugh:
Not commenting on that! ;) :laugh:
Sorry you've got an infection though, and I hope the ab's clear it up quickly! Could be worse I suppose.

I see my Aspire coils from FT were collected from Heathrow today ...not long and I hope they're the right BVC ones! :)

There's quite a long thread on the new BVC coils: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...w-aspire-nautilus-mini-bvc-your-thoughts.html
Someone thought to ask Aspire what the material inside is:
Here is the reply from Aspire...
"It is oil cotton, with a little ceramic inside."

Because that ceramic material feels/is crumbly, the mesh screen on top seems to be there to stop any particles escaping.

General consensus is that they can't be thoroughly cleaned, can't by dry burned, and can't easily be rebuilt either. The fact they work so well is their redeeming factor in justifying the cost.

I'm just hoping that the ones I have on the way from FastTech are the right ones, and that they work well :)
So far I've only used them in my mini Nautilus, and I haven't used the Aerotank mini yet.



I don't care how much voodoo is in the coils they can't be worth what they are asking. Hoping Fastech starts carrying BVC coil clones. Their Mini Nautilus for $10 looks pretty good.

Don't blame you for getting a proper job done of it - husband had a bridge done some years back and it wasn't a good job so he got problems. I don't like the thought of ruining two perfectly good teeth to fix a third. If I'd known better what it was they'd be doing, I'd have urged him to get an implant instead.

I searched for and found BVC coils on FastTech last month, but since then, the part number doesn't resolve to anything properly. Put this number into their search, and you get coils and a Nautilus listed, but you can't click on the coils to get a page for them: 1701001

So, either what is due to arrive soon aren't BVC, or they are and they've had to remove the original listing. I'll be comparing them to a genuine one as soon as they arrive!

Well touch wood trish, i had a bridge at the top front many years ago and it has been brilliant, no bother at all. But as you say, implants are the way to go these days. I was surprised to learn that they have been around so long, as i only heard of them recently.:)

I hate that £8 fee too, daylight robbery that is.

To be honest I can only do a maximum of 10 hours driving per day. The extra hours will be carried over to today. I can do an 18 hour duty spread in a day - not all driving obviously and it has to have the right amount of breaks in there. The driving rules are pretty complicated and can be massaged a little :laugh:

My FT ordered shipped today. I'm still adding stuff to my wishlist, but I think I won't be buying anything major for a while now (famous last words I know :laugh:)

Well that's my check in for tonight. Got a day duty tomorrow, so at least I'll be home at a reasonable time. Then I can play with the new Reo on sunday :D

Glad yours has been OK! Yes, they've been around a good while now - my husband had his bridge done initially around 22 years ago, and implants were possible then. Not commonly offered by NHS dentists, but available in private treatment. I'd have happily used some savings to pay for that at the time had I known what was getting done.
They would put a post in the gum and screw the tooth into it ..not sure if that's how they do it now, but I have a large filling that's on a post in order to save the tooth ...I'd have rather had the tooth out seeing it's a back one, and been done with it!

I hate that £8 fee too, daylight robbery that is.
It is, and I don't think they should be allowed to charge such a ridiculous fee.
I once had to pay duty etc. for a package sent via UPS and it cost me £11.50 UPS fee and that was some time ago!

To be honest I can only do a maximum of 10 hours driving per day. The extra hours will be carried over to today. I can do an 18 hour duty spread in a day - not all driving obviously and it has to have the right amount of breaks in there. The driving rules are pretty complicated and can be massaged a little :laugh:
Right, I understand ..loosely :)

By the time I got home and read the e-mail, it had already been and gone Trisha :(
We had visitors so it was an hour or more into the sale by the time I checked email and posted it here.
Clark said he often has a flash sale, perhaps every month or so, so I suppose it's a case of seeing the email soon enough!
There was nothing I could buy anyway as it was all a PG/VG mix, but some you like.

Yes thanks trish. I didn`t know they have been around for 22 years or more ! I think you would be very lucky to get them done on the nhs though. I have noticed in the news these last couple of weeks, where N.I.C.E. have been turning down cancer beating drugs because of the cost.:( I said to the wife, why bother making them in the first place if they are unaffordable ???

As for the implants, i think you are right about how they do it trish. They are very expensive, but should come to the grave with me.:laugh:

I bought a mini aspire clone from fast tech for $10, are you saying they sell BVC coils now, if so have a link?
