Just saw an email from Strix - 35% discount off everything until 16th.:

Who doesn't love a sale? Well, we do! We'd like to share our love for our country's veterans by having an after Veteran's Day sale! Use code VET35 for 35% off your entire order! This is a Limited Time offer and will end Sunday, 11/16 at 12pm CST. Valid for anything on the site!

 

[Bobw1951]

True, but if they asked for an email address on the websites it could perhaps be in the barcode stuff ..I don't know, but in this age of superb technology, ripping people off via the RM just has to be avoidable.

Absolutely!

I'll keep toes crossed that all goes perfectly and you're home the same day!

I wasn't disagreeing with you, and yes, in these technological days, it should be quite easy to accomplish, they could even phone us (my personal number is always on the FT parcels), I hate giving RM any more than I have to as well, especially as they are the only shipper that holds you items "for ransome" as Ian says at least the others deliver them and bill you later.

and thanks for the support

I'm waiting until I see whether they live up to what they said, I had a moan on their FB page about the last shipment, and they apologised and said they would refund me, if they do then I will continue using them otherwise......

According to the window I got coming up, Windows stated that my browser was fine, my connection was fine, but that ECF's server wasn't! At least I knew not to start looking at potential problems!

Same here trish, no problems this end. It does seem to happen quite often on ecf !

You really colour blind?

Yep, i`m fine with some colours, mainly brown, red, and some blues. It is mainly shades of colours what i struggle with, so for example if you put a light blue next to something like a turquoise i would find it difficult to tell the two apart !

You like a good lemon? ..would never have guessed! Yes, Posset is very good - I still use it just about every day ...nautilus needs filling up again right now with it, but I'm also using my Mint Choc Vapetto too. It's often my late night 'go to' Both have been in a mini nautilus on an MVP ever since I first got them!
After those two, the Doughnut and Lemon CCC have been in every day use with two of my iSticks!

Yes, did i not mention it trisha Speaking of the doughnut, i have only got a tiny bit left in a kayfun, so when that has gone i will try one of my new ones from MB. I know they have not fully steeped yet, but i will probably give the blackberry a go.

I'll take a mooch through my paint 'store' - it's a 15 drawer stationery cabinet with colour tags on the ID slots on the front of each. With luck I'll trigger some recognition for what I read about last night in the red and violet drawers!

Fingers are crossed for you.

Just checked the status of my orders...Both the Hana, and my 3rd orchid are ready to ship.

 

[Bobw1951]

Terry, which Orchid v4 did you order, I just put in an order for 2 of the Bell Caps that came up today, so to make up the order I went for an Orchid v4 this one, looked at the others and a lot of them come with PMMA tanks, which I'm not too keen on because they are the ones that tank cracker juices tend to break first.

Looks like you enjoyed the Doughnut King then, I'm on my third tank of it in the Lemo, still haven't changed the wick, and the Lemon Bar/Sweet Cream mix which I have in a KFL+ v2 is on it's 2nd tank, no problems so far with the PolyC full size tank.

Suppose they'd charge even more if they did that Anywhichway, it's not really fair of customs to allow the practice. ...is it a government consipiracy designed to stop people buying outside of the UK or EU?

and thanks for the support

Any time!

I'm waiting until I see whether they live up to what they said, I had a moan on their FB page about the last shipment, and they apologised and said they would refund me, if they do then I will continue using them otherwise......

I'm not even sure I want anything from them ...keep trying a drop of those I got and don't feel too compelled to fill a tank with any ...perhaps I should make the effort!

Same here trish, no problems this end. It does seem to happen quite often on ecf !

I've seen it happen once before.

Yep, i`m fine with some colours, mainly brown, red, and some blues. It is mainly shades of colours what i struggle with, so for example if you put a light blue next to something like a turquoise i would find it difficult to tell the two apart !

That would definitely cause me problems - that blue grey my friend mixed for me had a number of slight variations surrounding it and some of the variations are quite subtle. A bit like a flavour: you can pick out the various background colours in it -or with liquid, the flavours.

Yes, did i not mention it trisha Speaking of the doughnut, i have only got a tiny bit left in a kayfun, so when that has gone i will try one of my new ones from MB. I know they have not fully steeped yet, but i will probably give the blackberry a go.

You may have mentioned lemons in passing
I love the doughnut ..every time it's empty, I fill it up! Been in the Purple metallic MOW tank on the Magenta iStick ever since both of them arrived!
I may give the Vanishing oatmeal cookie a proper try later.

Fingers are crossed for you.

Thanks May try and forget it ..today has brought it's own problems!
Gallery messing me about ..got in touch with me and wants to try my work, one of my long term galleries took 4 up to an art fair for them to collect tomorrow, and now she says she can't leave her own gallery to pick them up - in the same area of the city too! I told her send someone she trusts in a taxi and I'll pay for it! Feel like pig in the middle after the other gallery agreed to give them to her! Uugh ..people!

 

[Pictor]

I see two brands that have a few interesting ones and wonder if anyone has tried them:

Indigo Vapor - Experience the Indigo Difference!

Blueberry Whoopie, Birthday Cake (vanilla custard cake), Five Bucks (caramel macchiato), Light em up Lemon ice - cool Italian lemon, Dreamcake,
and this one really interests me...Dawn to Dusk (hybrid of coffee/tobacco)

Heather

Like the sound of the Blueberry Muffin, and they do a Waffle one where you can add cream, extra maple and fruit to suit. Tuscan Cocoa and Vanilla Dream are another two that sound interesting.

Exactly the same one as mine bob, for the same reasons you gave Apparently they are also interchangeable with other kayfun parts, and i have a few spare tank sections, in case any more crack.

I liked the doughnut bob yes, just not sure if i would order it again though If i seem to miss it when i have finished it, i will get some more. Time will tell.

Oh, the best of luck with your hospital appointment as well bob.

Oooo Lemon vapes

I have never come across them trish, i will have another look later to see if there are any reviews. Certainly some really nice looking liquids there, and around the same as uk prices too,

 

[Brynglas]

2 of the Bell Caps that came up today,

Have you got a link for those Bob.Do they have them to fit the V2?
V2 arrived today.
I could have picked an easier one to start my building life on.
The deck is so small,i mean tiny.It's magnifying glass time.

 

[vince01]

Apparently the kayfun nano quartz kit

will fit onto the orchid v4, I haven't read up on the

v2 George, they're on fasttech

 

[Brynglas]

Yes Vince i have read the quartz nano kit will fit the V2.And one guy on you tube shows the fitting.
I was looking for the glass tank that is in the shape of a bell.Seen pics of them around ECF but never found a supplier.

 

[Brynglas]

Like this one...

These are the fasttech ones george, dont think they do a glass one though.

Gotcha George

Looks like you enjoyed the Doughnut King then, I'm on my third tank of it in the Lemo, still haven't changed the wick.

I've been impressed on how long my coils last with the Doughnut considering its a bakery one with custard!

Gosh, who needs days like that.

Well, I've worked with the gallery that agreed to hand the paintings over for 7 years, and wouldn't want to cause any problems as he's so nice to work with.
It's really not usual for one gallery to hand work to another, and it was very generous of him to offer. Normally, they'd come back to me and I'd need to send them on to another gallery. Anyway, she called back a little while ago and said she's arranged to go and collect them herself! So thankfully, that seems to have worked out OK ..at least, I hope so. I just hope she has some success with them
It'll be nice to have some representation in Scotland again - used to work with a great gallery in Oban (where my Dad's Mother & family came from), and the owner retired a few years ago. Had two other galleries up there contact me, but they weren't right for me. This one could be good!

Oooo Lemon vapes

Yes, tempted myself with the Lemon Ice one! Lemon, whether plain, icy or creamy seems to be so clean and pleasant to use.

I have never come across them trish, i will have another look later to see if there are any reviews. Certainly some really nice looking liquids there, and around the same as uk prices too,

I've heard of Heathers, just never looked closely before. The Indigo is one I think I'll definitely try a couple from! I'm interested in that tobacco one to add other flavours to!

 

[terry w]

I have just vaped the last drop of it So 10 ml without touching the wick or coil.

I will eagerly await your thoughts on them trish. My Hana, and 3rd orchid shipped today too So i am now waiting on 2 i-sticks, 3 orchids, and the Hana ! I have also signed up for the `back in stock` Alerts for a couple more i-sticks, great little things they are.

 

[Bobw1951]

Exactly the same one as mine bob, for the same reasons you gave Apparently they are also interchangeable with other kayfun parts, and i have a few spare tank sections, in case any more crack.

Ah! I picked the right one then

I liked the doughnut bob yes, just not sure if i would order it again though If i seem to miss it when i have finished it, i will get some more. Time will tell.

I'll definitely be ordering more, it's in my ADV list along with the Lemon Bar and Posset, still got to order the CV lemon cake one to try.

Oh, the best of luck with your hospital appointment as well bob.

Cheers mate. Just watched that last episode of Leftovers, that actually made sense, as it showed what happened leading up to the disappearances, and gave an insight into why the coppers wife left him, obviously the baby inside her disappeared, suppose we will just have to keep watching to find the hows and whys.

 

[Bobw1951]

Have you got a link for those Bob.Do they have them to fit the V2?
V2 arrived today.
I could have picked an easier one to start my building life on.
The deck is so small,i mean tiny.It's magnifying glass time.

On the FT site just pick new arrivals at the top, they are first 2 to appear, I got the LA one, and yes they should fit the v2, just make sure you don't use any tank cracker juices though because they are PMMA, also you can shine them up by using a dab of toothpaste.

Kayfun decks are not too bad to work with, I've age related long sightedness now, and find I have to use a jeweller's Loupe to be able to coil and wick virtually everything, used to make a pig's ear of it before I got one.
