Not good when it's that bad! I reckon most of us have ended up throwing stuff away without complaining, yet it's always best to do so..

I remember staying in a London hotel when i was younger with my parents.They had met up there with some old friends from Canada.
There were a few things that weren't right.The canadian guy was straight to reception to have a moan.
I remember him saying to my dad "Trouble with you Brits,you don't complain enough"

Okay whose got ITV on and listening to the public school idiots arguing with each other, and who do you think sounded the best - my thoughts Nick Clegg was the more sensible of the lot.
Deliberately avoided it - the thought of 7 politicians is bad enough, but when they include sturgeon and Milliband ...Ugh! No thanks.
Had enough of it all anyway.

Some people have problems with Koolada - causes chest problems - just a warning
That's interesting - I thought it was the lime & pineapple that gave me problems with the Twisted (I did like it though!) Could have been all three to blame of course.

As i said earlier George, it`s weird how certain tanks can affect certain flavours, and i will be testing out charlies in a subbie in a bit. :) Are you going to be trying some of the isle of wight one ? If it`s any good, i don`t mind stocking some of it :)
There were a couple I'd have tried but they're out of stock. I'll look again sometime though.

Talking of the Bandits...I think they've got the message and are trying to up their game even tho' it maybe toooo late.
Service seems to be on the up i received an e-mail asking to take part in a customer satisfaction survey.Thought it strange as usually they don't seem to give a s**t.
I buy a few things there that are good prices.

I'd like to try it Tel but i've bought a ruck of juice in the last week.I missed them last weekend when they had 20%off.And i think there's going to be a few big deals on over this weekend.Have to see.

edit: They do a 70/30 if Trish is interested
Yes, I saw that :) I'll definitely try some if they have another 'sale'

Just put a order in with chefs for a bottle of Koolada.Has anyone used it.
Made three bottles of juice one watermelon,one strawberry and a strawberry.watermelon ice
10% strawberry
7% watermelon
3% ice mint
The ice is about right but needs more strawberry

Are these the Diamond Mist ones ?
The consensus seems to be to start the Koolada at 1 drop / ml cos you can always put more in but you cant take it out

There's a couple there that sound rather good.

Yes - use it sparingly to taste - it's in (or was) the ready to use Twisted - there used to be an option for it - I got it in mine, and it's really 'cool' if you pardon the pun!

It's the Trill I particularly want to try! ...bad marks to those companies who won't divulge their ratios! When will they realise that it's not always about darn clouds!


I've seen a few sites lately with the wrong ratio marked on them ..one was UKECig the other Red Juice and also JustBottles.

It was the Trill that made me look them up, saw it on a YouTube review a couple of days ago for the Atlantis 2 and that's what the guy was vaping, when I went onto Infamous' own site and looked at them I thought, sheesh, got to try nearly all of them, and glad I did, been dripping them on and off all day, even made a new coil and rewicked the Doge-X just so that I could get the full flavour on 30w.

Hah, he was right too.
Still, there are times when you just can't avoid it: I worked with a gallery in Oban for some years, and we were up there in spring for the opening of one of my solo exhibitions.
It was in the evening 6-9.00pm, and to our dismay, found the restaurants all stopped taking orders at 8 or 8.30! We were told that the only alternatives were the fish & chip shop which wasn't ideal, or the Chinese restaurant, so we decided we'd go there.
I really wanted a steak with fries, onions salad etc. Yes, that was on the English section of the menu ...except it arrived as a floppy, bland beige lump smothered in thick gloopy gravy and green vegetables rather than salad!
We complained politely, the waiter smiled, 'no trouble', bowed and took it away ...came back with a flourish, popped it in front of me and proudly informed us that chef had rinsed it thoroughly in boiling water! :facepalm: My jaw just dropped and I was speechless. ...other diners hung their heads or hid behind menus to conceal their mirth.
I ended up with chicken chow mein ..did I enjoy it? - not after that fiasco.

Yes Vince they are the diamond mist ones.The watermelon one is really nice.Its a bit overpowering mixed with the strawberry.I'll let it steep for a few days to see if the strawberry comes out a bit more.Ice mint is what you expect,also got the Toonz one,might get some blackcurrant or cherry to add to it

:lol: well you've got to :laugh:, and I suppose he thought that it was an acceptable thing to do, probably a misunderstanding language wise.

I must get the Trill at some point before long. Had too many disappointments lately to risk more than one or two ...but, they do have POET too, and it's a POET one that is Dragonscape in the Artist Range. Definitely one or two I'd like there!

I may wait and see if you have to pay duty before I decide (I can get the POET from a Swiss site that George found).
Plus, I just had a biggish order from Chefs and want to order a decent amount from NT too.


BA just landed at JFK ..bit late, bit cold, but they're there :)
Last time he was there, he went on his own for an 'adventure' and stood on top of the WTC - he'll be remembering a lot of things in the coming days.

You did right avoiding the chippy Trish.I went into one in Dundee and they were cooking Pizzas in a frying pan:facepalm:
Oh no! To be honest, we'd have been better getting some and eating them on the harbour side ..except it was freezing cold!
The hotel would have left us some cold beef and ham salads had we asked too!

Apart from that, we love Oban ..was my grandmothers birthplace/home.

:lol: well you've got to :laugh:, and I suppose he thought that it was an acceptable thing to do, probably a misunderstanding language wise.
We were so amazed, we didn't laugh or cry - just went silent for a few seconds. 'chef rinsed it well in boiling water!' Gosh, wish I was a food critic - would have made for some hilarious editorial! :laugh:
As for lack of understanding ..a Chinaman with a Scottish accent? :lol:

I'll let you know whether FedEx send me a bill also if Infamous get back to me re European retailers, they don't sell direct only through retailers, but the list they have are all stateside, maybe if you look on the site to see if your lad is anywhere near one he might be able to pick some up for you, it's Where to Buy | Infamous E-Juice

Is he going to visit the memorial site as well ?

Reminds me of years ago, getting on an old London Bus (Routemaster) and went straight upstairs, didn't see the clippie, but could hear his real cockney accent calling out all the stops etc., and when he came upstairs to collect the fares he turned out to be a Jamaican Rasta :laugh:

Oh and I hate thick gloopy gravy, Bird's Eye changed the recipe for their Kate & Sidney pies to that, and i stopped buying them, used to love them when it was the dark liquid stuff.

Ahhh you got the cloned steak dinner
Oh don't! :facepalm: :blink: ...at least I didn't eat any!

I'm seeing a few brands on the giant site that are interesting ...found at least one on a site in Spain. Be good to hear if they charge you import duty.

Not sure I'd ask him to get me anything ..they're there as a birthday treat for his wife, bought by her mother. Don't think she'll be as keen on shopping for things - when he was there before, he bought me some paint from a great store in Pearl Street!
From what I hear recently though, Manhattan doesn't have much in the way of E-cig stores.
Not sure if they'll go to the memorial either ...they tend to get easily down with such things, and I know they were upset last night as it's the first time they've been away without their small boys!
The eldest did last July when they got married there though.
Never know, our son may actually want to see where he'd been before they were so brutally destroyed. He was in London at Earls court with his wife to be that day and hadn't heard many facts about it - he phoned me when they got out of the exhibition and asked was there much damage. He was really upset to hear the actuality of it, as both of them had been really busy all day.

Some days when I was in London, there weren't that many British accents at all! I remember one afternoon I was served coffee outside a pub in Regent street by an Australian chap, and earrings by a Russian gent in Harrods, hand cream by an Italian in Dickins & Jones, and some books by a French lady in The R. Academy shop.

Oh and I hate thick gloopy gravy, Bird's Eye changed the recipe for their Kate & Sidney pies to that, and i stopped buying them, used to love them when it was the dark liquid stuff.
Sounds very clichéd I know, but things definitely aint what they used to be ..and it's the pesky EU messing with ingredients ..everything from washing powder to gravy, fruit juices to perfumes.

Ah! if all they are doing is staying in NY then no good anyway, Newark is the closest place, that has a shop, I very rarely stay in one place more than a couple of days, I like to travel around and see as many places as possible.

What do you think Bob It's £20 on ft.How much more would it be for some tidy battery's and a good charger?

One of these £12.95
and 2 or 4 of these @£6.99 each
and whatever they charge for postage would be my recommendation.

and don't build too low, Personally wouldn't go below 0.5ohm.even though they say 0.1 and Ruby said 0.2

EDIT: to future proof yourself you could always get the i4 instead of the i2 or even the d4 or d2
