And brags of 8800mah Bob.
How's the Triton2? See they are doing a Triton mini now.
Triton 2 is fine, got it on a Zero sx350 @ 35w, did try it @ 40w but that was a bit hot for me, heard mention of the Mini, but I haven't seen it yet, and as of yesterday it wasn't on the Aspire site.

Don't know why you didn't like them

I think Aspire just over hyped it Bob and that way it was only ever going to be a disapointment.
I was expecting the greateset thing ever and it just wasn't.It's OK but i think there is better.

1 from UKV classies

Saw that:)Or have you bought another today?

BTW Crius doesn't leak.If you close the juice flow when not in use,like OBS say i haven't had any problems.
Mind you, i haven't left it open to find out otherwise.

Quick question.When using TC do I need to adjust watts, or can I leave it set at 40 w
On DNA40s I normally leave mine at 40w and just use the temp for control with Ni-200, sometime have to adjust for other wires though, depends on the mod, start the temp at 450F and adjust down to what suits you, try not to go higher though otherwise the cotton will burn

That happens to my Missus quite often, we have one nurse who does home visits to take bloods, he is very good, gets the vein without problems, the rest of the team are all women and she ends up with bruises. I messed up in my last reply, it wasn't a catheter but a Canular they put in yesterday, I got them to use the back of my hand, because when they put those in the inside of the elbow it always causes problems, but it still hurt when they put it in.
My dentist administered sedation twice into the back of my hand via a cannula, and neither time did I feel it ..he seemed quite skilled at getting it right very swiftly and easily.
I've realised that many phlebotomists can be a self important lot, with the genuine competent and dedicated ones vastly different. One took the time in the hospital to try using the vein that runs over the left thumb joint and up the side of the forearm - she started an inch below my wrist joint, virtually over my thumb joint, and subsequently over the days, they went a little higher with each days test, and not one gave me any trouble at all.
With the cannulas, the nurse made a mess of the first one in my inner elbow, and hit the nerve. So, with the second one later that night, I asked the doctor to put it in, and she used the same vein mentioned later in the week for the blood tests, but a couple of inches above my wrist joint on the opposite arm - no problem at all.
A few days later, a nurse tried putting a larger gauge one in the same vein in my opposite arm for imaging fluid, and right away hit a nerve, so she went and got a doctor who removed the one in my right arm and replaced it slightly higher up effortlessly with the larger one.
I can't help wondering if junior doctors & registrars are being taught to insert cannulas in a better way than nursing staff.

The first blood test I had at our new GP's was with their phlebotomist, and she too was full of self importance. When I got pain shooting down to my fingers and up across my shoulders, she said it was my fault for tensing my arm! She was quite annoyed for all she had to have known she'd hit a nerve! Thankfully, she went to my other arm and managed to avoid the nerve. I ended up with a huge purple bruise on that first arm.
So, after my hospital experiences finally finding places that were far less likely to give me any trouble, my subsequent tests at the GP's were something I was less apprehensive about.
I went along for the first one and began to tell her about the problem - before I could explain that I now knew the best place, she interrupted loudly and told me it wasn't their fault as they didn't know where the nerves are! I calmly asked her to let me finish, and showed her where she could take my test! Success :) With luck, your wife may get success in a similar place.
(I've since had other people say they find many of these takers of blood a little too full of themselves!)

The guy who was doing the test, was a Greek and looked like the younger brother of Konstantinos Farsalinos (I told him to look him up as he had never heard of him), the Cardiologist researcher into ecigs who seems to stick up for us a lot, his assistant was Portuguese, and the nurse was Filippino, they were all very nice and chatty.
I was in three wards and four beds during my time in hospital - first move was four of us to a different 4 bed room just after midnight on the first night, then I was moved to a single room on a different ward when they thought I'd need surgery, then for the final 3 days, to the gastroenterology ward once they decided I did indeed have UC. There were a number of non English nurses, and I did notice that while all were hard working and very competent, two Hawaiian ones and those from the Philippines were extra helpful, gentle, and nothing was ever too much trouble. In each area, there was a matron, and both of them proved to be very diligent and helpful.
The gastroenterologist I had for the last three days I was in hospital was a great chap ..thoroughly liked him and found him easy to talk to. Pity he only works at the one hospital and does no Health Insurance work.

I did notice that things didn't seem to get 'the dots joined up' all the time in that one ward didn't seem fully conversant with what had gone before and what the outcome or plan was - as a result, I was pretty much in the dark about my progress and situation and the aim for the coming days. Being shipped from bed to bed, ward to ward with no prior warning, scanner to 'oscopy', especially in the days when the infection was causing me a lot of inner confusion and delirium, was very disconcerting and I felt like a floating mobile package without a destination. A lot of things weren't explained to me ..knowing one of the antibiotics would mean I couldn't eat anything and keep it down would have been nice to know as I thought I'd become more ill!
Some times, when in the single room, staff would forget leaving me in a predicament and I'd be left to my own devices, and another day, my drip stopped and I was too ill to reach the call button - it was a miserable few days.
All was well in the final ward apart from an IV dose of steroids being forgotten one night resulting in me being woken by a nurse in darkness at 6.15am while she pushed it through the port.
I do know that these things are all down to them having too much to do and there not being enough of them, but I could easily see how anyone not able to assess things for themselves could fall victim to mistakes.

Still, I'm under no illusion that the private sector is immune to errors!

@Pictor I see I spelt cannula incorrectly :) I'm normally pretty good at spelling, but some words do fox me
No matter, knew what you meant ...and to me, it doesn't matter how we get there, but that we do get there :laugh:

I could hardly believe the time when I woke up today: 11.20am! First time I've stayed asleep for more then 6.5-7 hours since this began.

It's nice to have a lie in every so often, when I was working shifts, every so often I would have a day when I would do that, just to catch up on all the sleep I had lost.

I've never been one for sleeping longer than I normally do, which is a good 7.5-8 hours, ..once even semi-aware, I normally can't go back to sleep.
With this though, I've had so many interrupted nights for bathroom visits, the added tiredness made it so that every time I relax, I go to sleep - just had half an hour after lunch.
Shifts are different though - throw the metabolism out of sync, and cause a lot of weariness. Our son doesn't work full nights now (they stopped that), and instead, he's on call all night, but at least gets to sleep at the right time.

If I can continue sleeping right through, and things stay on course for progress, I think I may stand a chance of at least getting a little work done soon!

Any tips on making donut king from concentrate tastes nothing like the premade. No issue with other concentrates I bought. Mixed to 20% or so. It's just terrible and I tried the last of the premix and while its not my favorite juice ever I do enjoy it. The concentrate seems to be missing the sweet. And I have pretty sweet vg here in mixing with.

Is this concentrate just not that true to the premade?

Think the premade was 50/50 PG/VG what sort of mix did you make, did you let it steep at all - it may need it, although shouldn't really need much. I haven't actually tried that one myself apart from the premade.
