I fancy a dripper,which do you recomend?
Going for flavour not clouds(but i don't mind if it does both).

I bought a dripper just for tasting purpose only, got the cheapest I could find but can't be bothered with it. That's just my lazy ways.

I`ve only got the trident george, cracking dripper, but like dave i just can`t be ars*d with it I would rather just fill and go I have also found that some juices are less flavorsome in a dripper, and shine better in a tank !

Seen him many times there trish, it`s where he performs his drag act He`s very good as well

Ah! right! ....starting to get a good profile for the pair of you!

Suppose it's a sort of pole dancing - bit like a bus stop 'pole' ?

The coil diameter is the one part I'm still learning about Terry. I know I can change the ohm rating with the amount of wraps or gauge of kanthal used. I'm just trying to get to the benefits of diameter, obviously larger are easier to wick, but with more wick does it wick better, does the wick last longer etc? I was using 2mm, but dropped to 1.6mm on the last builds and the wicks didn't seem to last as long. Everyone must have done the basics trials I'm doing and I thought about taking shortcuts with your expertise.

Thanks bob! The SX300 is quite famous here hehe. And comes with many colors~ Okay so its the same as the Zero. I know you just got yours, but how is it for you? We have people reselling their zero's within a month of using it and sometimes weeks. So i might question if there is anything wrong with it that people are reselling it back again in such a short period of time.

What do you think about the ipv mini?

Sorry, been out all day and only just got back, I gathered that from the YouTube video by the Malay guy on the SX300, there are 2 versions of the Zero a cloned DNA30 type chipset and the YiHi SX300 chipset, it's the latter that I have made by Hotcig, so far it is okay - no problems

Hard to know which is the best of the worst at our practice lately. The practitioner sister, head GP and another GP all retired last week!
Earlier last year, the one doctor we'd decided we would use if we needed to went to another practice as she was being inundated with people wanting appointments with her at our practice!
We were given the name of another by the sister a couple of weeks ago, but it remains to be seen if she's still there if/when we need to see her!

We do have a drop-in centre but not one we'd want to use unless desperate.

I liked when a GP ran his own surgery and got to know their patients fairly well. Those large medical centres are very hit & miss and impersonal. There's no sense of knowing the doctor or them knowing their patients rough history.

So did I, much more personal, although I will give my doctor her due, she only has to look at the notes on her computer and she remembers everything about us, even though I very rarely go in to see her, as I only go when it is really necessary, and ours is not that large, their are 2 practises sharing the building with about 4 or 5 doctors in each practise, main problem is too many patients per doctor these days.

One doctor at out practice makes Doc Martin look like a polite man.
He's not my doctor but on the odd occassion i see a doctor i always cop out for him as my doctor is too busy.

Definitely - I prefer 3mm builds myself, more wick, better vape, it can last longer but that depends on the wattage used, you are better off with a warm vape rather than a hot one, hot means it could be heating the cotton/rayon up too much - don't forget it is easy to dry burn the coil and rewick if it does get gunked up, some people think you have to change the coil as well

 

[Brynglas]

So Terry,what did you spend your refund on?

Up until the mid 80's our doctors had always had a practice in a converted old house or attached to the senior doctor's own house - 3 doctors max.
It was a far 'cosier' atmosphere, less intimidating and clinical, and the doctors grew to know most of the patients over time. No we didn't like them all, but mostly they were good doctors and hardly ever sent us to hospital consultants in the way they do now, but tended to deal with problems themselves when possible.

He's not my doctor but on the odd occassion i see a doctor i always cop out for him as my doctor is too busy.

Now that's a part of the past attitude of doctors that is totally unacceptable! My Grandparents generation were still doffing their caps or saying 'yes doctor, 'no doctor' - and that era has gone.
They're people who have learned how to do a job of work, a profession, and we're their 'clients' - it took me many years of study and practice to learn what I do, but it didn't give me the right to treat people like idiots or with an air of superiority.
I may have placed them on pedestals until I knew better, but have long known that they have feet of clay just like the rest of us.
Rude or bullying doctors really do make me cross!

ISTICK 50W
I read this description on the Origin Vape site today - wonder if the part I've highlighted means it's been addressed in the 50W model:

If i do a 2.5 mm coil dave, using 28 or 30 ga kanthal, and use rayon for the wick, i reckon i could run about 20 ml through it before needing to re-wick and dry burn. Also it depends what sort of liquid you use, i will give an example...With the coffee and sweet cream, which i vape in the morning with my brew, i can only use around 4 or 5 ml before i need to do a full clean, as the coil looks like armageddon after that small amount of juice. But with most of my other liquids, as i said about 20 ml

 

[terry w]

So Terry,what did you spend your refund on?

[Bobw1951]

Typical Royal Fail tell me to get in touch with sender - now FT ask me to get in touch with Royal Fail and to let them know what they report. So have opened a ticket with Royal Fail - bet they just give me the brush off as usual.

 

[Brynglas]

Nope, it`s where Ian frequents Trish

"Puffs Palace". I'm not a Puff, but my boyfriend is

It's been all over the news - I blame it on all the idiots that turn up and all they need is just a paracetamol or plaster, those and the binge drinkers.

Yep, I was just joking Bob, saw the news earlier. That 111 number doesn't help either, they normally say go the A&E too.

Oh is it indeed ..wonder what Ian would have to say ...and how do you know? - you seen him there?

Terry has the table next to mine

Omg you guys chat way too fast on here. Im having a hard time catching up reading LOL!

It's Terry, you just can't stop him Sarah

Dave your juices are going to be posted in about 10 minutes mate

Right off to the post box !

About time too

Seen him many times there trish, it`s where he performs his drag act He`s very good as well

I need to borrow that nail varnish and lipstick again Terry. I know their your favourites, but the colour matches my dress

1mm coils are best for vertical coils where you wrap cotton or rayon around the coil.
2mm coils are best for silica or ekowool wicks.
3mm coils are best for cotton or rayon.

That's what I've found mate.

Me, You and Terry should start up our own act. We can call ourselves the Vape Sisters
