If the 50 watt is the same size as the old 20 watt one and the price is right, I could be tempted

The 50 is a little bit taller and it's wider, and the buttons are in a different position. Size: 23.0mm * 45.0 mm * 83.0mm: iStick 50W (4400mAh)
The 30W isn't too different - Size: 23.0mm * 32.5 mm * 77.0mm. Biggest difference after the wattage is the top is a slightly different shape to accommodate wider tanks etc. up to 23mm and a spring connector: iStick 30W

It says welcome to pre-order on this page, but I don't see where! iSmoka/Eleaf electronic cigarette

I see there's a 'Melo' atomiser now ...not a typo, just a Lemo's brother!

Extra battery life of the 50 watt is a plus point. The spring loaded 510 connector and locking range buttons, is a major plus point. There's been a couple of times where I've hit the up button without realising on the 20 watt. They'll be on FT pretty soon, so I'll see what the price is like then.

Thanks for the link Trisha

Looks like the new isticks have just won me over. That new 50w one looks perfect for me.

I'm a bit strange with custard. I love it hot, or cold in a trifle, but not cold in a custard slice. However, if it's more on the vanilla side, then I like those custard slices.
Told you I was strange

If I remember rightly, I haven't had one of those lovely solid vanilla slices for many years ...likely not since the 70's.
Those things they sell now seem to have a synthetic sort of custard that has been air whipped to fluff it up. Nothing like the old ones!

I wish mine was long enough to put in rollers. In fact, just having a full head of hair would be a bonus

Hair, yes - long enough for rollers?

Sorry I can't share any of the 2 brain cells I've got

I only need to find a few ..complete the circuit!

Let us know how you get on with the supplements Trisha, we'll all keep our fingers crossed for you

Thanks! I will

I'll tell the Wife about the Pod machines, thanks for the info.

I'd have stayed with the Senseo if that one hadn't been such a good buy, so I'm glad I saw it.

You're right, Alta Rica is an instant coffee. It is a nice one, but I'm no coffee expert. It is made from 100% Arabica beans - I've just checked the label

They actually use an instant coffee in three of their pods: the Café au Lait, Espresso Macchiato Cortado & the Decaf version. The others are ground Arabica and one has Arabica/Robusta.
With 15bar pressure, there's always a proper cream layer on them - nice

I do prefer 4 wheels myself, but some bikes are just so sexy looking. They look like their going a 100mph just standing still.

I do myself, but the bikes were wonderful back in the 60's - so solidly built, they clung to the road perfectly - I was once brave enough to stand up and peer over to see the speedo! (just over 100mph that time!)
No wonder my parents went grey!

Just been looking at that melo trish, to me it looks like you may have to buy coil heads separately ( Not Rebuildable ) so it could be something good for you

 

[terry w]

Looks like the new isticks have just won me over. That new 50w one looks perfect for me.

I`ve just remembered The juice dave I`ll get it to you this week mate !

I'm tempted too myself. Plus if attys sit better without any overlap, I'll definitely get one

That's what I thought too mate. Looks like it's got replaceable coil heads.

You're welcome!

The 30W won't be of any advantage for me unless it's a really good price and puts out the right power! The 50W would be a big advantage with battery life and it's not too wide. Again, I'd only get one if the price is good and the output true.

I don't understand the part that states pre-order though. As far as I could see, there's no release date either.

Well air is a lot cheaper than custard I guess.

We'll have a collection for you Trisha

It's great when you find a bargain like that

Sounds tempting. Guess I've been put off coffee machines in the past, cos I couldn't really justify the costs for the amount of use it would get.

I do myself, but the bikes were wonderful back in the 60's - so solidly built, they clung to the road perfectly - I was once brave enough to stand up and peer over to see the speedo! (just over 100mph that time!)
No wonder my parents went grey!

The oldest bike I've been a passenger on, was an old Norton. The guy had rebuilt it himself, done a fantastic job too. But my backside was numb by the time I got off it

I don't understand the part that states pre-order though. As far as I could see, there's no release date either.

I guess the pre-order bit is for those middle men that go for the minimum order quantity (like FT). I couldn't see a release date either.

Just been looking at that melo trish, to me it looks like you may have to buy coil heads separately ( Not Rebuildable ) so it could be something good for you

Ah! I didn't look too closely at those!

That's what I thought too mate. Looks like it's got replaceable coil heads.

I'd give it a whirl ..perhaps it's the non rebuildable version of the Lemo seeing it's been so popular.

I'm tempted too myself. Plus if attys sit better without any overlap, I'll definitely get one

My mega MOW tank is around 19mm and it has a tiny overlap ..not quite as much as the mini Nautilus though which is perhaps 19.5mm.

It looks like a non rebuildable to be honest.

My mega MOW tank is around 19mm and it has a tiny overlap ..not quite as much as the mini Nautilus though which is perhaps 19.5mm.

It's not really a deal breaker if a tank overlaps, all my tanks do overlap on the 20 watt. Most of my tanks are 22 or 23mm, but if I did go for something smaller I'd lose capacity.

Lets hope the prices are competitive when they do release them.

Told you I was strange

Nope, not strange at all, I'm exactly the same, prefer it hot on a pudding like jam roly poly, cold only in trifle.

Sorry I can't share any of the 2 brain cells I've got

To both of you, they are not missing, they are still there - it's just that the door is locked and you need to find the key, happens to me all the time and it's getting worse

Shop by us sell the proper good old jobbies.
If you ask for custard slices they get a bit offended.They insist they are vanilla.
No whipped up crap there.

That's a great way of putting it, I like that

Right, time for me to shoot off.

Night all.

Yep, not for me mate Does anyone know if these new sticks, can regulate the power down ?

The Melo looks like it has prebuilt vertical coil heads aka the Aspire Atlantis, a sort of Lemo Drop for non-coil builders, like to 50w iStick, hope they have sorted out the power so that it is RMS not Mean - looks like they have made the 510 better.

..and right now, I'd eat either!

To both of you, they are not missing, they are still there - it's just that the door is locked and you need to find the key, happens to me all the time and it's getting worse

Do you find it worse since you stopped smoking?
I've been absent minded with odd things for years, but the past 8-9 months have been dreadful ..very noticeable that my concentration and focus are shot. I'm fine with memory - just not working with my usual motivation. I desperately need to get it back for my works sake.

I've read plenty of articles and incidences of people of varying ages having the same problem since they stopped smoking: writers, musicians, artists, and more.
I do know one musician and he's very low because of it ..to be honest, I'm not feeling too bright about my own work!

The Melo is shown here - looks expensive and looks to be another sub-ohm one! https://originvape.com/product/eleaf-melo/

The new iSticks are listed on Ali*aba.com for wholesale.
