Snap! plus couldn't resist the Tundra :facepalm:

Have you got a discount code for the Wembley bandits Trish?
I used one for 5%(ECIGCLICK) but i read on a forum there is one for 10%,but couldn't find it

that's the nice thing about Fibre, since mine was installed over 2 years ago, I have only had one 2 hour drop out and that was due to a major fault that affected lots of PlusNet subscribers

I'll have to look into fibre, Plusnet, Bob , good provider?

We've had plus net (albeit not fibre) for a couple years now and they're good value. Much more consistent speeds than sky we who had previously and good customer service.

Every company does it but you just have to dispute your renewal price and barter it down to the price a new customer would pay. They were happy to give me those prices as long as you take another 12 months.

I did that with my current provider Adam,they didn't seem keen until i asked for a migration code,then they where all over me.
Got my monthly payment cut 50% and free three months.

Have heard good things about the Billion, and you are right about dodgy BT engineers, had same sort of problem years ago when I had ADSL2 from Sky, used to get full 12 Mbit/s then one day it went down to 8 Mbits/s, BT kept saying nothing wrong with the line, neighbours were also having problems, so we ended up hacking the wire to bits outside and reporting it as a telephone fault. BT came replaced the cabling and bang - back up to 12 Mbits/s, and as it was outside the property, we didn't have to pay a penny.
It is a good router. When my first one 'died' I got the newer model and it had an issue with the Wi-Fi (think they've resolved it now, but not sure) so Amazon kindly took it back albeit after their 30day refund policy and I got another 7800n. Perfect. They'll never get a prize for good looks but they're a good router.
Instead of employing and training all the promised new engineers, BT have been using a few contract companies since the roll-out for fibre and upgraded exchanges, and apparently they leave a lot to be desired: sloppy workmanship and not enough knowledge/experience.

As far as I know, 10% has only ever been offered for e-cig kits, not liquid. 5% can be had by using AAEC POTV or 30571 etc.

You can get a lot of information about all the ISP's, including PlusNet here:
Broadband Forums :: think broadband
PlusNet plc :: think broadband
Ratings on the ISP's:
thinkbroadband :: Broadband deals from UK broadband providers

Definitely the go to site for all things BB related and anything else to do with computers :) There's even BT engineers on the various sections.

I got Mail! :)

vape Kitchen: Fairly big order from US - All PG free

Avant Garde - Very low PG (average 4-5%) - two items wrong: Got custard instead of plain vanilla, and no creamy pineapple.

Now off to order some flavouring from Chefs to 'fix' the wrong AG order ...suppose I can make some fruit custard! I'll get some pineapple flavouring and make my own!

Some have had problems - I did when I ordered slightly, but sorted fairly quickly, since then none, I'm testing their YouView service at the moment, can't say any more about that though. If you go for both Fibre and Phone and you have a BT phone line then the line will be transferred after the BB.

Think my box has good looks: FRITZ!Box 7390 | AVM Deutschland although it was expensive when I bought it

Aged & dressed up in a black bottle? ....I can sit a bottle or two in a dark drawer for a few months without the need to spend this much:
https://redjuice.co.uk/the-juice-bar/mothers-milk-by-suicide-bunny-ltd-edition-obsidian.html

Well they know what they can do with that ! :laugh:

Coiled and wicked my 3rd subtank rba 1.6 ohms, filled with rips lemony lime, and i have to say it is rather pleasant :) Not acidic at all, like some of these type juices can be. Nice clean flavour too. I`ve got it on my IPV, set at 12 Watts, on one hole setting, and it`s a perfect vape :)

Just hope i don`t start growing a beard like rip`s :laugh:

Can't remember who had the SMOK Pro M80 Plus - but there is an update to the firmware here: How to upgrade your M80 plus

It does away with the ramp up time but unfortunately does not deal with the problem of it burning dry cotton, although the TC sort of works in not giving you dry hits

on that page there are 2 links for the software & .hex file needed and also 2 YT links - the second one is the best.

EDIT: There is an error when trying to click on the 2nd Vid so here is the actual video:

We have a saying for when someone is being especially cheeky, we say "not only is he ...... through your letterbox, but he's then knocking on your door to ask how far it went", dont think I'll be getting wet feet
If anyone's interested I've got some "aged" bottles from when I started vaping about a year ago, I'm only asking 300 quid for the lot :laugh:

I'm not overly impressed at my first attempt at diy
Whether I need to increase the concentrate % due to the 100% VG or maybe add some PG or even leave them to steep a little longer, I think it may be a while yet before
I'm competing with the professionals
The juices are pleasant but no more than that and I was aiming for a subtle melding of exquisite olfactory delight which was at the same time windswept and groovy and interesting :laugh:
