Ah!That sounds more like the one i was picturing, Bob.
Mikevapes showed that and the Ni coils the other night.

Doesn't seem to be available yet, suppose it will be released at the same time as the istick TC, which is due at the end of the month, only got the GS Airs to try for my Cloupor Minis and they were only £11 each.

Does that guy get paid by the second? When he's not reading he measures out his info in coffee spoons. Why won't he speed up a bit? If he gives me info FAST then he can vape and do whatever he likes. Faster, video guy, faster... :)

Be nice if the tank DOES come with the mod, although I have seen pauleymeatballs review on AAEC and he wasn't too impressed with the GS Tank, and the iJust2 look better and also seems to be a bit bigger and uses the same coils as the Atlantis & Melo, will have to look at the specs on the iJust2.

EDIT: I posted that vid on the AAEC thread as letsavit asked about the burn test

I had a gas fire with electronic ignition, but that ran off of a 9v battery which was hidden away under the fire at the back left. Are you sure that yours doesn't do that? Otherwise it might be an idea to have a pound shop gas ring butane lighter handy - less likely to mark the fire than matches.
Not sure - I mentioned lighting it manually not too long ago and our son said it should be quite easy ...he's had the thing apart too to change the bulb that glows when the fire isn't actually on ...it's a sort of enclosed black thing with faux coals in it! It's a Glowworm Opus, around 20 years old. I'll have to dig out the instruction leaflet and see what it says ..I don't recall anything about a battery, but may be wrong. Seeing it's got a mains plug on it for the bulb, the ignition may be mains too.
It seems the Opus 2 does have a 9V battery, and that may operate the ignition ..doesn't actually say so, but I think ours is the first model, so not at all sure ...must find out!

It Happens Trish, i left the sh off the It ! :laugh:
Yes, that stuff happens! ;)

Just checked the Tracking for the washer, and it says anytime between 13.30/17.30. Hope it`s the former as the wife has got piles of washing to do.:lol:
Getting a bit of a migrain now so logging off for a while. :)
Hope it arrives sooner rather than later ..or perhaps already there by now :) Hope your head feels better too!

I bought a Karcher :laugh: Tis good,works well.
We got the Vax version and it was a pain ...couldn't get to the bottom of the full length windows or those with sills, and it wouldn't operate at an angle/on it's side ...binned it!

I was in Torremolinos a couple of years ago and and went to Benalmadena, visited the Birds of Prey display using this to get there
Would never get me on that! :laugh:

That's why I prefer written reviews ...shorter and more to the point. With videos, I always end up trying to skip through and find the bit I really want to hear.

CHILL!! Pipey :laugh:
Whole worlds moving too fast these days.:)
Yes, but if I want to know if something works well, I can always think of more interesting things to do that watch someone waffling :laugh:
The world does move too fast, and the information overload is mind boggling ...precise, concise information is good for my brain :)

The worst one I have been on was the one up to Piz Gloria (007) at the top of the Schilthorn, when you get near the top it looks like you are going to smash into the side of the mountain, that one in Benalmadena was quite tame in comparison.

Well, you is braver than me! :laugh:

CLONE !! ;)
Should have watched a review :laugh::laugh:
I didn't say we'd bought it ...Vax gave us it free with a vacuum cleaner I was testing! :laugh:

So, does the Karcher one work on it's side, or at an angle to get at the bottom of the window pane? :unsure:

Ooo!! i usually like freebies,we got an excellent Bissell vacuum cleaner free when we bought their carpet shampooer(made up word).
The Karcher works fine on it's side Trish,very good item.But like Pipey said not great battery life,but if you're happy doing a few windows at a time,it's great.When i come to the sill i just turn it sideways,no problem!

Sounds promising then! I do not like cleaning windows!

I'd have lived without the free window cleaner ...got the newest cordless vacuum with a rrp of £349 for less than half price for 200 testers. Got it's predecessor for £80 too, again for testing, and I think that was the one with the free window cleaner ..think they wanted rid of them ;)
That new £349 one is extremely good! As powerful as a good mains vacuum, and very quickly turns into a cylinder one with attachments. Two batteries give an hours use.
Our Dyson cylinder is virtually redundant, as the Vax Air cordless is far easier to use. A Dyson digital does all the dusting and fast vacuum jobs :)

I've got a Vax Carpet cleaner - weighs a ton, but does the job well, and 2 Dyson vacuums a DC34 Animal handheld, mainly for my room, and a DC32 Animal cylinder for the rest of the place, I like the Dysons, but they are not cheap, although I got both when they were reduced in local Sainsburys, to make way for the newer models.

We passed our Dyson over to my sister,when we got the free Bissell
Our Stowaway went to our eldest, the upright to the younger, followed by our first Dyson: DC02! That first one seemed to last forever.

Brilliant guy :)
Yes - not long before people won't know who Formby was!

It's the weight of the Dyson that we don't like ..ours is the DC32 too, and it's heavy and clumsy to put back in the cupboard (fits in the bottom half of a tall kitchen unit), and of course it has a cord/plug ..and falls over sometimes. The DC02 never did that!
This new Vax Air multi purpose cordless is brilliant and works as powerfully as a mains one. The Dyson digital is the DC44 ..similar to your hand held but can be used as an upright too. I love the short flexi hose and flat dusting brush - does a great job on all surfaces after the dog groomers have been! Nice turbo head for stairs too.

We also have a Vax carpet cleaner too - another half price offer for testing. Very efficient.

Can't knock Vax for their persistent R&D until they get something that's as good as Dyson, and I think they may have managed it now.

I have a Vax carpet shampooer too - got it cheap(er) at their annual sell-off. Does a very good job. Separate clean water and liquid tanks so any spare liquid can be re-used - which is nice! I've had Dysons in the past (initially a DC-01) but they seemed to get worse imho. I have a corded hand-held dooh-dah for little jobs, a Henry for the heavy stuff and a Roomba for when I don't want to vacuum. The Roomba's name is Barry - I don't know why...:)

That was my first Dyson as well, had to replace a belt on it once, it replaced one of those really old bagged cylinder type hoovers

ours is the DC32 too, and it's heavy and clumsy to put back in the cupboard (fits in the bottom half of a tall kitchen unit), and of course it has a cord/plug ..and falls over sometimes.

Do you hook the pipe/brush on that silly hook thing, when you store it away, I just leave it off, mine is in the cupboard under the stairs, I leave the flexible hose attached and wind it around the machine, the plug/cord goes back inside the machine so can't see the problem there, unless you mean you have to keep unplugging etc when you go from room to room, then yes, I agree, Never had it fall over on me. I have all the tools for the handheld, so it almost resembles the DC44 when all put together :)

Have been looking at that G-Tech Air Ram but there are mixed reviews about it, some say it's useless, others say it's great, bl***ing noisier than the Dyson though.

Aw! ...I loved my Roomba - until a pesky grandson sat on it heavily! Was never the same again. Even our dogs loved the little robot. No-one told him off for doing that either, far less apologise for wrecking my beloved little helper! ...I don't think people like admitting that their little angels horrors aren't perfect! :laugh:
