No I don't believe 394 is welding wire. That's a much softer lower grade I believe isn't it? It's food grade for knives and bowls and such for sure. Welding wire. I don't think so.

Yeah,just had a google it's 308 used in Mig welders.Masses of it on e-bay.

Oh gosh, that doesn't sound too good. Make sure you look after yourself and listen to what your doctor and girlfriend say.

Adele is very popular, I would love to see her live.

Well the upside of being able to get a single ticket. It's ten rows (~10 meters) from The b stage and about 35 rows (~ 35 meters )from the main stage.

Obviously two tickets would have been better but I've often found. At live shows you barely speak to anyone You take anyway. I'll drop her off and collect her.


Yes I'll take it easy. My mother had hip replacement shortly after my surgery and had to be admitted back to
Hospital today for blood clots in her lungs. She says it isn't a huge problem but it sounds pretty serious to me. She's had blood thinners injected and expects to be there 1-3 days. My father passed away already so I'm probably make nervous about her situation now.

I wonder how that does on the stainless profiles around or what the byproducts are vs other grades. Wouldn't 308 be more pure than 304?

You know. What's the deal with quarter hardened titanium. That stuff I got from unkamen isn't right for vaping. It's labeled that way. Quarter hardened grade 1 titanium 28 gauge. I've contacted them and they'll sort me out but is that somehow different than the ti we commonly use ?

I have had really bad luck with titanium wire. It's either a small fortune for a tiny amount or the Waite isn't the gauge I need or it's not good wire. I'm about to give up on it. My first experience with ti was poor. Then recently I had very good ones and he taste was very clean. I just needs a decent price on proper 28 gauge grade 1 and can't find it !

There is a lot of wire out there as you state and malt is probably somewhat cramp for temp control. Or mislabeled to be nicer about it.

I'm waiting for Stealthvape to restock with Ti 1 as i still haven't tried it.
They have Ti 2 in stock @Bobw1951 what is the difference?

The wire I have is marked up "Medical Grade 1 Titanium" apart from that, Pass.

See Titanium Grades Information - Properties and Applications for all Titanium Alloys & Pure Grades - Supraalloys.com
Looks like the only difference is, it is stronger, possibly less malleable, but maybe not - S-E has separate TCF csv files for the different types

Vapemail:
30ml Mothers milk and cookies.

If that was 70% VG I'd be tempted to try it

Good to see a very positive mention of ecigs on PMQs yesterday.

I missed that ...what was the gist of it?

Mrs.Lord Grindrod's Parkin as well

It's good to see that the Drip range is expanding ..may get some of the Victoria Sandwich & Summer Pudding ...not sure about the Sherry Trifle - wonder if it'll be very similar to Chefs English Trifle.

So even steeping overnight. Even the juice in my tank the difference is huge. The small batch must have been unintentionally ignored or something. Too bad I mucked around with the other big batch and messed up the ratios. It's about 60ml and I don't have much concentrate left so I may just try to add the rest of the concentrate then just up the base w little and see. I feel like the 60ml batch is off by about 1/3 or so. Thanks for your feedback. I'm surprised at how different it is even in twelve hours.

Really glad you've found an improvement!

So I went back to the doctor today for the post op / pre op. Not great. Not bad. The prognosis is good because for the first ten days things were really good. But apparently my better half is right and I've been doing way too much including lying on my side/ sitting up hunched over in bed cooling in a microfiber towel. He said it was very clear from the way I explained the trouble I'm having and the fact I've gone backwards from days 11-20 that's didn't do what I was supposed to after surgery. I. E. Basically nothing. He reiterated nothing heavier than a Sunday paper to lift. No walking dogs. No sitting for more than 15 minutes at a time. Ih age to go back on the steroids now. Which I absolutely hate. They make me really jittery and I gain a ton of weight and my skin breaks out the from the first raise to a solid two weeks after I stop. I hate them. He also recommended against the other operation on the 30th but said it was my decision. I explained due to insurance I have to go through with it and he said it's imperative I am a better patient next time too. And in the two weeks leading up.

You do need to do as instructed this time! I was given some pretty firm instructions about weeks of total rest and no work past emails/phone calls! Very unlike me to not try to push forward with recovery from anything, but having been so ill, I was happy to comply this time as I truly have been horrified at the thought of it coming back.
Biggest problems I've had once the steroids started working has been side effects - not surprised you hate steroids! Side effects that are quite debilitating and then withdrawal effects together with new side effects from the replacement drug!

Started to have breathing problems with the new drug, and saw my GP doctor today. She asked how I felt about not taking the drug for 4 days, and I told her, first sign of any problem and I'll take one! She was happy with that response, so told me to go ahead with caution, and she'd get in touch with my consultant in the meanwhile to get his input.
I hadn't taken the morning tablet in anticipation of this, and was able to climb the staircase to her office - still a bit out of breath but not as bad the previous day when climbing the stairs had me sitting down for a few minutes!
As you'd imagine, here I am at the end of day one, and my antennae are working overtime for signs of dropping out of remission! I feel rather vulnerable!

My girlfriend is real unhappy with me. So I better make peace with the triton mini and ego one clr coils. And just put my other tanks away so I don't say. Oh just coil this one this one time.

I'm not surprised, and doubt you are either Get a good stock of made coils before the next surgery.

I bought an Adele ticket this morning for my better half. The show sold out the arena in five minutes no couldn't get two tickets. But managed to get one which somehow randomly became available. It is remarkable how popular she is here.

Not my cup of tea, but sounds like your girlfriend will be pleased!

Hope she recovers quickly and is home as expected.
Natural to be jittery when a parent is in hospital/ill - my husband was the worst for showing panic the night I was admitted ...sons kept it under wraps and only said how they'd felt once I was recovering

The normal ones I've tried so far are very nice - I'm even on second helpings of some of them.

Purely out of interest Trish,as like yourself, i feel that info should be readily available i have mailed SB and asked.

The PMQs quotes:

"Mark Pawsey (Rugby) (Con): By the time the House next meets for questions, many people will have started their new year’s resolutions. For many, one resolution will be to give up smoking. Given that Public Health England recently stated that e-cigarettes are 95% safer than tobacco and half the population is unaware of that fact, will the Prime Minister join me in highlighting the role that e-cigarettes can play in helping people give up tobacco for good?

The Prime Minister: Certainly, speaking as someone who has been through this battle a number of times, eventually relatively successfully, lots of people find different ways of doing it, and clearly for some people e-cigarettes are successful. We need to be guided by the experts, and we should look at the report from Public Health England, but it is promising that over 1 million people are estimated to have used e-cigarettes to help them quit or have replaced smoking with e-cigarettes completely. We should be making it clear that this a very legitimate path for many people to improve their health and therefore the health of the nation."

That last sentence is very, very important imho.
