Man I don't know which velocity clone to get from there. Any suggestions?
The one I went for is the 1:1 clone, it only comes in black though, haven't actually tried it yet, main reason for me was that it included a bottom feeder pin to use with squonkers.

If there are any reviews look at those...

I usually look for a 1:1 but then if not I look and get the one with the most discussion that's still rated highly. Discussion is more important than reviews to me.
Ah sounds good I was only reading reviews I will make sure to check discussions now thanks.

Ya I was reading some and there are complaints but also lots of positives. I guess can't go wrong for only 10 bucks I guess I'll just bite the bullet.

Thanks for e well wishes on surgery. Brain. Cervical and lumbar surgery in the next four months!
Sounds like a lot to cope with - smooth running wishes!

On the Charlie noble stuff. I haven't tried Tripoli. I don't like commodore peary - it's just weird and the pistachio one is extremely nutty but to me not pistachio. However it's a ry4 so a lot else going on.
The Tripoli in the tank has grown on me a little by today: 'Turkish tobacco notes with figs, almonds, & rare spices' ...it's an unusual mix, but not actually a bad one! I'll see how that ones goes.
The Pearry is one I got to add to the nJoy Artist Collection one with pears: Paramour, because that one has 50%PG which is too much for me.

Makes my skin rash up in large quantity
I've never bought liquids from FT, but do have to avoid anything with more than 30% PG in it - I get a rash and also can't breathe if I use much PG.

After getting baytery wraps from fasttech there's no way I'd order actual batteries from them. They have wraps to mimic every possible manufacturer and model, that makes me way too nervous with something so vital and potentially dangerous.

Hmmm so even if they say authentic you do not recommend? I am looking at this listing.

$17.56 Authentic Samsung INR18650-25R 3.6V 2500mAh Li-Ion Batteries (4-Pack) 4-pack - 35A peak discharge / 22A continuous discharge at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I can only say I personally am not comfortable after ordering blue battery wraps and getting absolute perfect replicas of Samsung battery wraps. The only way you could maybe tell is see if the cell is printed but even then I'd doubt.

My thought is id rather spend ten more dollars and not blow off my hands because a company lied and the max continuous discharge is half what was stated

They may be fine. I've never bought them. But considering I can buy everything I need to sell fake batteries there that look perfect. I won't be buying batteries there.

Go for the more expensive Green ones, they are better quality than the blue ones, and if you buy more than 4 then go for the pairs as the multibuy option can save a few cents, the green ones are the ones most of us over here have bought, I just received a second batch of 6 pairs the other day.

I was about to say that I hadn't compared the minutiae of it, but if I was advised to go for the green ones, then that's why ...Bob for instance knows more about batteries than I do.
As you see, they are better :)

:) I knew there'd be a reason

I've got some as well.ive charged them just waiting for the iStick 100w to come before I use them
Yes, the 100W is what two of mine will be used for :thumb:

Was surprised to see something on BBC news website today - As if on cue too!:
Better diagnosis call for adults with ADHD - BBC News

Reading further into the various types (as mentioned yesterday) I see there are things that can cause it rather than it being a life-long or genetic problem (Which mine definitely isn't).

When I get a bit more time, I'll look further into finding a possible connection between nicotine/tobacco use and adult onset of Inattentive ADD ...looking at that type in particular because it would fit with the lack of brain stimulation gained from tobacco use seeing it seems linked to neurotransmitters, and dopamine is the one I'm thinking may be the culprit - I need to understand more though.
Once I can work out what it is I need from a professional ...or what type of professional will understand this particular instance of what does appear to be Inattentive ADD, I'll know where to seek the help!

Still, it was good to suddenly see that article on the BBC News site! It's a start.

30ml of Mrs Bees True Dairy Custard
Looks well steeped as well :)

Same here

Me too :) ...yes, looks nicely steeped ...says use by 01/11/16, but no indication of when it was made.
The first bottle I got was in a flat plastic bottle, but this is a clear round one!
