When i was younger Trish,i heard workers on building sites refer to their packed lunches as Tiffin.Probably like you said came back with the Army.Like a cup of Char:)
Think that's where it must have originated, and also earlier: Political warfare in British colonial India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just ordered one of each, and some concentrates etc from Chefs. :)
What did you get Terry?

I'm going to try the English Trifle I made last week tomorrow! :)
I'll also make a 10ml bottle of the Vanilla Marshmallow because Nicoticket just released a seasonal special: 'Peeps' ..apparently an Easter treat they get there of marshmallow chicks. The liquid is 65% VG so I'll need to add something similar, and I had the Chefs flavouring so I'll make a 10ml bottle!
If I don't like the marshmallow one much, I can always add strawberry or raspberry to it! ;)

Last week when there was a flash sale, I couldn't resist trying the Artist Collection Para Mour and Samba Sun.
The first is Pears, Peach, Vanilla & a very tiny hint of cinnamon - it's very nice! But it's 50% VG so I had to add a bit of Vanilla Custard and vape Kitchen Pear, both in 100% VG ..seems to work very well!
The second one is Clementine, Peach, Apricot and Marshmallow - again, very nice, but this one is 60% VG so I had to add a small amount of vanilla to it. Also works well.
They're both very good, but nothing seems to quite equal the Dragonscape, which is rather special. I added a 6mg and a 3mg to my stash with the flash sale advantage.

Oh now let me see :laugh:

Lews Brew which came with the kit, Graham Cracker V2, English Trifle, Jam Roly Poly, Coffee Fresh. Also a pack of 20 3ml pipettes, Ethyl maltol, and 30 ml doughnut King. I tried to get some SD&C concentrate, but it was having none of it for some reason ! It just said something like not available in these attributes, but is ok in others :confused:
Regardless of that, i should be able to knock some decent stuff up ( Fingers Crossed ) :toast:

You`ll have to let me know what you think of the trifle Trish, i know pipe likes it. :)

It usually says that when it's available in other bottle sizes, but in that case of course, there are no alternatives!
I've got the Jam Roly Poly too, but haven't made any yet - got a few others too: Red Jelly, Raspberry, Vanilla Marshmallow, Strawberry, Vanilla and Blackberry Milkshakes and the Strawberry Vanilla.
I've made the Blackberry Milkshake and it's very nice, but the blackberry gives me problems! I'll make a bottle of Strawberry or Raspberry and mix them!

I will! I'll try it tomorrow :)

Yes, it's like a huge library of flavouring!
Not only does it make everything they could need for developing new flavours to hand, it gives a huge choice for all of us :)

Cheap enough to risk trying them too!

Have chefs vapour stopped selling nic base, pg and vg? I can't find it on their site.

Sorted. Just ordered...
250ml vg
250ml pg
100ml 7.2 mg nic
For £23 at Vampire vape.

Mix all together = 600ml base. Add 15% vg flavour = 99ml

Result = 699ml of 65/35 vg/pg at 10mg/nic.(average)

Won't mix all flavour in at once, will small various flavours at a time.

Please correct if I'm miles out with my sums.

Is your nic pg or vg ?? that would make a difference. Really need to look at a calculator, something like this for 1 flavour: E-Cig-Reviews.com - ECR E-Liquid Calculator

and to get 699ml of 10mg this would be the figures:
PG/VG with Nicotine: 1957 drops [97.85ml] - 14%
PG/VG zero Nicotine: 9926 drops [496.3ml] - 71%
Water/Alcohol: 0 drops [0ml] - 0%
Flavouring: 2097 drops [104.85ml] - 15%

Actually looking at this calc it looks better as it separates the pg & vg dilutants: http://......................./create
providing your nic is VG then your calculations are quite close but if it is PG then they are miles away

That last site by the way has lots of recipes on it as well
What is it with this forum and blocking sites put dashes where the spaces are: http://e liquid recipes.com/create

Sorry I've been AWOL for so long

Really been a struggle with these longer days I've been doing. But the good news is, I've now got 7 days off

:rickroll:





Managed to get a cracking view of the eclipse. It had been fairly cloudy all morning, but just as I came out of a bus turning point, the sky went really dark. I could feel the temperature drop. Looked up and saw a break in the clouds and around a 90% coverage of the sun. I did have my sunglasses on and the top of the bus windscreen was tinted. So I got a superb view :D

As far as voting goes, I'm with Bob. I'll be voting to come out of the EU, if we have a referendum, even though I do know the benefits of staying in the EU. Hopefully Article 20 of the TPD will get squashed, we'll have to see.

My Subtank Mini from FT arrived yesterday, sorry the rules have been blatantly disregarded on this occasion :laugh: I do have a good excuse though.

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

So you'll have to make the most of my presence of the next few days. Cos the way things seem to be panning out with work, I can't see that I'll be able to post much on work days :( Work, eat and sleep, that's all I'll have time for, unfortunately. So you'll all have plenty of time to give me some grief when I'm not posting :laugh:

Looks right to me, although are all your flavours vg based?

I'm not saying you're wrong it's just most are PG based.

Also if I understand you'll mix your pg/vg/nic all together and then take smaller amounts of the resulting 10mg solution to make tester batches for the flavours? That sounds fine to me, I thought to start with you were going to mix together everything all at once and you could end up with nearly 700ml of juice mixed at the wrong %.

Understandable, even if you have been missed! :)
My husband use to work 12 hour nights on a fleet of heavy plant vehicles/wagons - hardly ever saw him apart from perhaps 1.5days at weekends!

Eldest son worked 12 hour shifts until recently, and they could be very busy ones too. He used to only sleep until late morning though, often just having four hours sleep ....it caught up with him! He does an 8 hour shift system now and it seems a lot better ...and no full nights either ...just on call from midnight.

As far as voting goes, I'm with Bob. I'll be voting to come out of the EU, if we have a referendum, even though I do know the benefits of staying in the EU. Hopefully Article 20 of the TPD will get squashed, we'll have to see.
Do you think we'll actually get that referendum? He's been making suspicious noises in recent times about side-steeping a proper one, and now says he won't serve a third term?
I've always said they'll never dare have an in-out referendum.

So you'll have to make the most of my presence of the next few days.

No fun giving you grief if you aint there! :laugh:
Well just have to save it for when you are! ;)

Lemo 2

Some details online about the upcoming lemo 2. Looks interesting.

Airflow adjustment has been improved greatly from that silly fiddly rotating thing on the lemo (although I usually just leave mine wide open).

Side fill port looks interesting but has the potential for leaking maybe I think.

From the first reviewer, he said it clicks shut, but suppose if you laid it down on it's side with the fill hole down then it is possible.

Although I have just had to fire off an email to Royal Fail's Escalation Team because yet again it was just popped through the letter box, even though it has a nice big "Signed For" label on it, I've included all the problems and reference numbers from last June when it all went up the creek until now
