Made me smile when I seen that pic baby blue and pink.All joking aside if it apeals? To the younger generation and it stops them smoking then good,it is a good mod isn't it.I can see some girly girls getting excited about it

It's one of the things about regulation that annoys me and possibly a few other vapers, they keep harping on about not selling to under-age people, but what if they are already smokers, then surely vaping would be a better alternative and it's quite easy to tell if they are smokers.

You could of course use a Subtank with pre-built Nickel heads, I do on some of mine, but don't forget that if TPD comes into force, you may have problems getting those.

Reminds me - I only have one box of those ...better stock up a box or two at a time! I've been getting the Subtank coils at FT and they do seem to be authentic and work well.
I have this one Kangxin TC one so will get a stock of coils, and when the mod finally wears out, depending on how long it lasts, I may not get another.

Yes, Heartbeat was in Goathland, and the Royal supposedly in Whitby, but actually filmed in Scarborough, York, Kirkstall Leeds and a few other locations. Plenty of the Heartbeat scenes were shot in Whitby.

Loved Greengrass's dog: Alfred! First time I'd seen a Lurcher.

I still watch some of the old series on Ch.10 on Sunday morning. One of the good things about working on trains, you saw lots of different breeds of dogs, had a Japanese Shiba-Inu on once, he was massive, I hated the small yappy ankle biter ones though.

No doubt they'll want them to visit an NHS stop smoking scheme and stick patches on themselves whilst being told it will stop them smoking! ...or be given very small amounts of 2ml cartridges/tanks or whatever rubbish they decide is 'best for us'

It'll still take the normal coil heads, just won't work in TP mode.

and wonder why the percentage of smokers is going up...

I just watched 'It Was Alright in The1970's' - really odd seeing such things again, but some of it was quite funny in it's day.

Not seen one until now - first glance and it looked like an Akita, but it seems it's one of the spitz breeds (my Dad had a Spitz)

Temp Protection only works with Nickel (NI-200) or Titanium wire, otherwise they act as a normal VW/VV mod - to be honest, think you need to get into making your own Kanthal coils first, building in either a proper rebuildable tank like a KFL+ or in a RDA (dripper), before spending lots of money getting into TP Mods and finding your coils won't work. They are harder to get the right resistance, and need much better contact with the atty to work. You could of course use a Subtank with pre-built Nickel heads, I do on some of mine, but don't forget that if TPD comes into force, you may have problems getting those.

Thanks Bob First off I don't know if you read it was along time ago I work in a steelworks and they're giving me £200 a week to stay home as I'm a trained operator.Is Nickel safe? I know when we smoked it was tar etc.But nickel have there been any tests on it?

I would rather see someone underage vaping then smoking IMO.How old was you when you had your first cig,14 for me and then didn't stop for 30 yrs.

Duh! Of course! Thanks for the reminder

Exactly! - I'd love to think they have to eat a huge chunk of humble pie in times to come, but such satisfaction rarely happens with government!

Wouldn't it be great if some whistle-blower came forward with evidence showing a conspiracy involving underhand financial transactions to get rid of e-cigs!
The evidence will be there in some form ..just may remain hidden though.

Lots of us use Nickel it's 99%+ pure, whereas a lot of people don't like Nichrome (an alternative to Kanthal) which is normally 60% nickel and is what is normally included in atties from China.

I started when I was 9 and lasted for 53 years before I gave up last year..

Looking at the 2 breeds on Wiki, it may well have been an Akita - because it was really big, it was up to my waist and I have a 32" inside leg, whereas they say the Shiba is smaller.

Most things are stating 'new' since they moved over to the new website - but that Virtual Doughnut was very recent.
I also see one of the two High VG ones they listed at the same time has gone: Strawberry Rice Krispies

I just don't understand that price drop, especially on the Doughnut King. It isn't in the Clearance section, so it's a bit odd.

I don`t understand it myself Trish, unless they are fading out the DK ! Thats the only reason i can think of for dropping the price.

I hadn't thought about that, but yes, you have a good point! Nickel can be very dangerous, especially heated or in high heat situations.
Some are allergic to nickel plated jewellery too, but probably not a relevant aspect.

Yes, I do agree - youngsters may have less chances to make their own choices, or have the foresight/pocket money to get a stockpile to at least last them while they try to stop altogether or get nicotine free.
I was around 14-15 when I had my first cigarette, and gradually began smoking properly - went on for almost 50 years!

Didn't the American FDA have to get rid of some of it's advisers because they were being paid by the BigPharma

Well done Bob.How long have you been vaping for then because your like Obi wan kenobie with all your experience and knowledge

or maybe it's not a big seller, even though we like it, and they want to get rid of stock that might be a couple of months old.

I am currently blasting away on the VF Mini, and although it performs great, there is something annoying me. With every puff i get an intermittent sort of noise, like wa wa wa wa wa, coming from the attie. Never come across this sort of thing before, so i`m clueless.

So it's safe? Seems to go against some restrictions or advice on how/where to use it safely under certain conditions.

Makes me wonder how we managed to survive so long! Especially once they'd put all that poisonous rubbish in them!
I bought a few packs of American Spirit at a tobacconist on Oxford Street some years ago, and was amazed to revisit the taste of cigarettes from way back!

Looking at the 2 breeds on Wiki, it may well have been an Akita - because it was really big, it was up to my waist and I have a 32" inside leg, whereas they say the Shiba is smaller.

Think it can't have been a Shiba Inu - they're supposedly the smallest, and my Dads German Spitz was pretty small herself.
Our standard is big: 34Kg and quite tall - gentle as a lamb ...but got big teef!

I don`t understand it myself Trish, unless they are fading out the DK ! Thats the only reason i can think of for dropping the price.

Yes, but I do find that odd - it's so good!
Wonder if one of the main flavour ingredients is being discontinued!
I've been wondering about the chocolate ones because Nicoticket is discontinuing Got Cookie and now Chefs are discontinuing MCV. Ash said he didn't know if the concentrate for MCV would be an on-going stock item ...so that made me wonder if there's a good chocolate flavouring that's been discontinued.

Started in Jan last year - just kept up with all that goes on in the forums, and searching out info on the web, there is a lot out there, sometimes, I have to double check things before I open my mouth though.

Quite possible Bob. I suppose time will tell.
