Just had a look Ian.I can only find the one for sale,clone and it doesn't say the maker.

If i could justify spending the money,i'd buy one of these....
View attachment 412362

I can see 2 on FT George.

But this one seems to get good reviews, as long as you don't mind pressing the 510 pin out by a mm or 2 :

Looking at the shipping times though - 21 days. Be no good if you wanted it fast.

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

If I had the money, I'd get 3 or 4 of the Phoenix drippers :laugh:

Could well be.Do they have to kick it into a bag?
dunno smilie.gif ...haven't a clue, but good luck with that!

One thing I've noticed here about all the high-end toppers that people are playing with. They all seem to need a lot of tweaking. Do any of them just work? Or is the fun in the tweaking?
I think it's one of those things like some men tinker with engines whether they need it or not - I just like stuff that works!
Anything leaks or gurgles, it gets two chances and then in the bin!

That's why I was happy with the MOW's & mini Nautilus, but they had to mess with the BVC coils and now they're awful. Suppose I'll wait a few months until I see people saying they're OK again ...not sure which of my stock of coils is the most recent bad ones though!
So now I'm looking for a replacement tank for the Mint Choc Vapetto ..it clogs the V2 Kanger coils in a day so no good in the MOW's, but I've been using some in a basic single coil Evod for 4 days and it's fine! Slightly different taste but still good. Just wish the basic Evod had more capacity.

Miracles performed on a daily basis :laugh:
Ooh! cue ecclesiastical music :unsure: ...actually, you could make that one into virtually anything ..the lime etc. is practically non-existent. Glad mine was just a 5ml sample, and sorry Terry got a 30ml bottle!

I remember when they used to make gloss paint that was as thick as treacle, only ever needed one coat of that stuff. Used to stink up the whole house for at least a week though :unsure:
I think the pro's thinned the first coat with spirit/turps and then followed up with the thicker.

I think gloss paint still stinks! Nice clean smell after a good few days, but until the volatiles are all dispersed I hate it. Worst is when you have a gas fire or gas cooker ..it burns the fumes in the air around the heat source and that stinks!

I recall an old chap back in the 60's who only painted his front door on a fine, still summers day - he took it off it's hinges, and when prepared, laid it flat on the floor, used a thinned first coat of paint, and a few hours later, put a full thickness coat on it ...laying flat, the paint levelled beautifully and dried to a perfect mirror gloss finish!
Obviously, he was a perfectionist, and to a degree that we wouldn't dream of!

My stash is coming down a bit now. Still in the litres stage, but not as much as last year :laugh:
My cigarettes & lighter took up a really small space compared to all this stuff! :laugh:

I think my problem is, I always underestimate the amount of time I need to do a job. But usually when I get started, I knuckle down and put a good few hours in. Makes the relaxation part that more enjoyable afterwards :D
Absolutely - but I thought you did a lot rather quickly by obviously working hard until finished!

Vanilla, coconut and cream can seem to liven up most juices. I tend to use one or more in all the DIY mixes I make up.
If I can find what I want in the flavouring that only needs a small amount (3-5%) I'll be able to make some very low PG ones!
Who does a good creamy coconut one? - I saw one in the FW range, but they aren't always brilliant and some need a fair percentage.

I'll pop a post-it note on the fridge then to remind me :laugh:
...and leave it there 10years? :blink: :laugh:

You can't beat a bit of tweaking. Life would be so boring if everything just worked perfectly all the time :laugh:
Oh no, I like stuff that works! S-d tweaking!

True enough - although American Football is a great game once you get used to all the "time-outs".
Is that for being naughty? ...or is it something like English cricket where they're out for tea? :rolleyes:

We had to be - everybody kept invading us!
Yes ..and we got rid of 'em!

Has any tried these yet? Has anyone seen a decent review? They look really tempting. Atlantis sub ohm or rba, top fill and a choice of colours. Only seen 1 reasonable review and he was well happy. Not a bad price either.

Anyvape SUB-OHM

P.s. I don't understand why they say it needs so much power, surely any mod will run it if built right.

Probably needs the correct power rated battery, because it is sub ohm. Any mech will run it yes, but you will need the right battery !

:laugh:

So it's basically just a nic base juice with the smallest amount of flavour possible. You could always use as an experimental base :)

I think the pro's thinned the first coat with spirit/turps and then followed up with the thicker.

makes sense, I used to do something similar when spraying cars - undercoat goes on thick, main colour thinned out a bit more and top lacquer finish very thin.

I think gloss paint still stinks! Nice clean smell after a good few days, but until the volatiles are all dispersed I hate it. Worst is when you have a gas fire or gas cooker ..it burns the fumes in the air around the heat source and that stinks!

Obviously, he was a perfectionist, and to a degree that we wouldn't dream of!

I wonder if they put emulsion in the tin I got and labelled it as gloss paint by accident :laugh: There was little to no smell at all to it.

I used to do the same with internal doors, take them off, lay them flat and paint them. Wouldn't do that with these crappy 2 coat paints though :laugh:

Absolutely - but I thought you did a lot rather quickly by obviously working hard until finished!

I did put in a couple of 10 hour days, or maybe a bit more. Wasn't really watching the clock to be honest :D

If I can find what I want in the flavouring that only needs a small amount (3-5%) I'll be able to make some very low PG ones!
Who does a good creamy coconut one? - I saw one in the FW range, but they aren't always brilliant and some need a fair percentage.

Inawera do some really highly concentrated flavours, not sure if they have a cream and coconut together though.

...and leave it there 10years? :blink: :laugh:

True, the ink will probably have evaporated by then :laugh:

Well if i send you 10 metres of wire Ian, i would expect at least the same back in rayon ;)

Not sure I can get that much in an envelope :laugh: I'll see what I can fit in though.

Are you desperate for the rayon mate, I can get some in the post on Monday if you need it ??

No desperation here mate :laugh: I`ve got about 18 inches left. You don`t have to send 10 metres Ian, whatever you want will be fine. :) As long as it`s not 2 inches :laugh:

It's Terry's...I'd asked him if it was going to be 'saved' by you! :lol:

Yes, when I paint, there's usually three layers of standard paint and then perhaps two more oil glazes - gives the final finish depth :)

I wonder if they put emulsion in the tin I got and labelled it as gloss paint by accident :laugh: There was little to no smell at all to it.
Water based eggshell is a form of emulsion paint in that it doesn't smell like oil based paint, and it's made from acrylic and alkyd polymers. Probably a denser type & perhaps more pigment in the eggshell compared to emulsions.
I was reading an article about Little Green water based eggshell by a professional, and he said that unless you're needing a top of the range professional finish on such as kitchen cupboards etc... the water based is just as good.
I haven't used that brand, so may look at it next time we do some decorating, but for the kitchen/utility, that Matterhorn on walls and woodwork is a perfect match for the units.

I used to do the same with internal doors, take them off, lay them flat and paint them. Wouldn't do that with these crappy 2 coat paints though :laugh:
Traditional gloss still comes in non-drip - or one coat - and standard, which does recommend two thinner coats.
Long time since we used gloss paint in the house.

I did put in a couple of 10 hour days, or maybe a bit more. Wasn't really watching the clock to be honest :D
Easy to do when you get absorbed in getting something done. Until last spring, I easily worked 12-14 hours most days. That's more or less the routine that I need to get back to, but perhaps not so many hours.

Inawera do some really highly concentrated flavours, not sure if they have a cream and coconut together though.
I'll have a look ..suppose some dulce de leche added to it would work ?

True, the ink will probably have evaporated by then :laugh:
...don't know, but I may have! :rolleyes:

I would never change a Radeon for Nvidia as I think the latter are not as good, it's one of the main things that slows a computer down, so you should get as much video memory as possible
The computer company did the research as the first one wasn't playing nice with the LaCie software, and it took a lot of effort to adjust the settings, so when it died on me, they decided to send this one for me to try, and if for any reason I wasn't happy, they'd take it back and think again.
I was out of my 2 year warranty, but their engineer did a remote 'tinkering' and set everything for me by liaising over the phone regarding tone, depth, contrast, etc., downloading newer updates for my LaCie software and it's been working fine.
This second LaCie is nowhere near as good as my first one was - that never needed any software or adjustments ..just worked perfectly out of the box on it's factory calibration. Wish I could get another like that - I think LaCie have taken a back seat with monitors for the time being ..not surprised after their ips version!

I'll get some sorted out and hopefully post it off Monday then :)

Oh there's no hope then if it's Terry's :laugh:

Yes, when I paint, there's usually three layers of standard paint and then perhaps two more oil glazes - gives the final finish depth :)

That's how all the great masters do it then. If you look at a painting, it should seem as though the composition is coming out of the canvas - 3D :)

makes sense, I don't know the exact chemistry of the paint I used, but all of that makes sense :)

Traditional gloss still comes in non-drip - or one coat - and standard, which does recommend two thinner coats.
Long time since we used gloss paint in the house.

It's not too bad doing multiple coats, if you're only doing a small area. But if you've got loads to do, it can become a bit of a chore.

Easy to do when you get absorbed in getting something done. Until last spring, I easily worked 12-14 hours most days. That's more or less the routine that I need to get back to, but perhaps not so many hours.

I just wish I had the same mindset for work too, some days I'm constantly watching the clock, or ticket machine.

I'll have a look ..suppose some dulce de leche added to it would work ?

No harm in trying :)

...don't know, but I may have! :rolleyes:

Okay, 10 metres it is then :laugh: I will also get the wire posted out to you next week mate, you should have it before your flask arrives :) If that bloody awful juice what you and trish are talking about, was an animal, it would be put to sleep :laugh: Honestly Ian, i am not even going to waste money on the postage it`s that bad. !

In fact thinking about it, i don`t think i will ever use cloudhouse again, the reason being, the MBV coffee i got was not in the MBV bottle, which says to me it is just a copy, and it doesn`t even taste the same ! And, secondly, The delivery from MBV is much quicker, and they have a lot more choice. So bye bye cloudhouse. And thirdly, that bloody ocean is going down the sink. :lol:

It was a big disappointment! As I said, I'm glad I was lucky enough to get a 5ml sample! I'll be very reluctant to buy an more of the Coval ones unless it's something with plenty of good reviews.

That's how all the great masters do it then. If you look at a painting, it should seem as though the composition is coming out of the canvas - 3D :)
Yes, and depending on how you depict the items, you either get 'Trompe L'Oeil' (fool they eye) which is more hyper realistic than I like to paint, or my most used way: Chiaroscuro, which basically is about items glowing out of warm dark shadows ...the glow or graded lightness will project forward, and the dark shadows recede. Caravaggio was a master of that technique.

makes sense, I don't know the exact chemistry of the paint I used, but all of that makes sense :)
I always prefer to develop an understanding of such things in basic terms ..getting too involved in the chemistry of it is a lot more to both comprehend and remember!

It's not too bad doing multiple coats, if you're only doing a small area. But if you've got loads to do, it can become a bit of a chore.
As long as it's not fiddly items, a rapid even layer is the way to go, always trying to load the brush fully yet not enough to run. My biggest fault was trying to economise by brushing it out too far, and it always resulted in more work next day, and just as much paint as I'd have used if I hadn't been so sparing with it.

I just wish I had the same mindset for work too, some days I'm constantly watching the clock, or ticket machine.
I've been content to just start sleeping a bit better in the past month or so, and thought I'd be working better by now, but it hasn't happened yet!
I've had a prepared small canvas in front of me for two days, and each night I tell myself I'll begin tomorrow! ...perhaps tomorrow, I'll be lucky! :unsure:

No harm in trying :)
True ..a few drops in a tank of the original will soon tell me!

You aren't supposed to laugh! :blink: :D

Well this was just a quick check in before bed.
Been watching "Underworld Evolution", need to get my mind off Kate Beckinsale in tight fitting PVC before I retire :laugh:
Night all.
Oh dear! have a cup of cocoa .....:rolleyes:

I'm watching BBC2 TOTP 60s
Always good :)

You're right ..it isn't worth saving! Never mind! Will you leave a suitable review for it? I'm thinking I will for the ones I got because they aren't well flavoured. One is OK, another is usable but needs a bit of something adding (chocolate) and the Blueberry Custard will be useful to mix Band Camp with (thankfully it's a 6mg max VG) - There's the Strawberry Cake that isn't too bad, but it disappeared off the site ..not even marked as sold out, so that was puzzling, and the strawberry custard is very mildly flavoured ..again, possible to add something to it.

It's looking like some people taste the lesser flavoured ones better than we do? Most of us here seem to appreciate good depth of flavour. Unless of course those giving glowing reviews have never had any well flavoured brands.

Interesting that the Indigo hasn't been re-stocked yet but was apparently on it's way.

There's not much I'd re-order there, but a few SNG are ones that I do like.
As for the MBV, both that and SNG are ones where the company lets Nathan mix it from the concentrate using exactly the same ratios and base liquids. If you mentioned that you thought it wasn't the same, he'd probably send you some with extra flavour in it.
