You've got to learn to switch them out every so often, otherwise you'll end up not liking it, and not buy it again

I'll finish this bottle and put the other away:sneaky:Your right about that i've given #64 a break for 3 months and i got a bottle of that the other day,so ill switch to that and a few others

I've found going through my 40 odd flavours a day that I'll usually vape more on those that I like best (an hour rather than 20-30' worth)

It is very bright - sort of subox with the colours opposite way (think I remember you saying the buttons were quite bright)
Yes, I did :) ...I like the eVic but I'm just not sure I need another. It's the replaceable battery that appeals, as well as the colour ;)

Happy New Years everyone. Sorry I'm a day late. Been a bit rough going so far but hopefully to improve soon

I hope you're all doing wonderfully and already off to a stellar beginning!
Sorry it's been rough ...keep resting! :)
I'm doing OK, just fed up having to do a full year accounts before the end of the coming week!

I have one of these in the pearl white.
I like that colour too!

Forgot to say Bob,Beard#71.Very nice,like you said.
Just ordered another bottle(that's 3 in a fortnight.):drool:Can't leave it alone.
It was the peach that put me off trying it ..I've never had a peach flavour that I actually liked!

One of the problems with being Self Employed - if it's not done in time you get a fine, I've managed to get myself £200 worth of tax knocked off this year's bill, they brought out a new thing whereby if one of you has £1060 allowance to spare it can be given to the other half to reduce their tax, handy for people like me who's other half doesn't get much in the way of taxable income (all of her disability allowances are tax free) and her pension is peanuts.

I may try it eventually - got a lot of liquid right now!
I'm not using anything known to cause me even slight problems because I've been getting breathing problems since I was given new medication on Nov 22 - it was stopped to see what happens 15 days ago, and although my breathing is better, it's not perfect at all. Still got 3 weeks to go before I see the consultant again, so really hoping the colitis doesn't come back before then seeing I'm taking no maintenance meds!

My husband has a (not very big) personal pension, so together with the state pension, he has to pay tax.

Thankfully, my accountants are understanding and have given me until the end of week one to get the figures to them. Normally, I have everything to them by mid-late November.
It's all sent to them electronically now, so the worst jobs I have to do after finishing purchases/sales is the scanning of bank statements and a stock take of materials!
I only use the scanner once per year, and can never remember how to use it :laugh:

@Pictor writing that reply just reminded me, I have to get in touch with DWP they haven't paid her pension this year, she usually gets it second week in December - more hoops to go through.
I hope you get it sorted out easily! :)
My pension is a joke - I opted for the married stamp back in the 60's, and it was only around 15 years ago that an accountant on TV explained the dire situation of such. She said you'd have needed a thorough understanding of the pensions system & jargon to fully appreciate how little pension it would really mean - they merely told us back then that it would just mean a slightly reduced pension, but save a lot each month in our salary!
At that time, my accountants told me it would cost a huge lot to pay it up to date to ensure a full pension!

Because she never worked, she only gets her's once a year it is so small - not even £4/week - my company pensions (2) are well over my allowance so I also have to pay tax, that's why I was glad to be able to claim some of her allowance, makes up for those years they stole the married man's allowance from us, who's partner's don't work - that was a very nasty piece of legislation, good for working married couples, but hard for one pay packet families.

Seems they always get the best deal - not us!
My pension is around £280 per month - never thought much about it until this past year when I haven't worked much!
My husband only had a personal pension for 14 years, so although welcome/useful, it's not a lot.

My BT one was only a 5 year one so is just under a £100/month but the 40 year one from the railway is a good one, but when the state pension comes in at the end of the year, then it will drop by just under the same amount, that was an option I took, so that the pension remains stable, rather than having a lesser amount for the 1st five years and a bigger one next year.

I'm yet to come across two company pension systems that are the same! :) Nice to know you have that stability.
Ours was a final salary pension, and would have been great if he'd been able to start it earlier. He only started with the company 14 years before retirement, so good when he retired 10 years ago, but not great since the rises in prices/costs of recent years.

I got just over 2/3rds final salary (based on standard pay) but I'm definitely going to have to ease up on my spending starting this year, otherwise I'm going to have to dig into my Mutual Fund monies, luckily that is now worth a little bit more than what I put into it, even though I took 11 grand out 2 years ago, but I don't really want to touch that any more for at least another year. Price rises haven't helped at all, although hopefully I won't have any large outlays for a few years to come.

Must admit, we've had to use some savings this past year - normally my earnings paid for 'extras' above the usual household bills & food, but that gradually became a supplement to the monthly bills mostly, especially when sales went so quiet around late spring 2012.
Of course, my not working and the galleries not selling a lot last year made things worse, and I'll need to do my best to produce some good work in the coming months.
I had a 30yr £10 p. month savings scheme mature end of 2014 ..produced just over £11,000 and it's virtually gone on 'this n that' - mostly helping one of our sons and making up the shortfall on paying regular bills.

Shopping online every week made me very aware of the rapid rise in prices just for food. I could see the amount rise practically every week! Obvious that the manufacturers and supermarkets wanted to keep profit margins the same (for the shareholders etc.) so we had to pay the exhorbitant prices!
At one time, even when I smoked, I'd be hard pressed to reach the minimum amount for free delivery - that became easy within 2 years of the recession.

Happy new year. I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
Happy New Year to you too, didn't do too much over the festive season, too old to bother these days and not much in the way of family to worry us either, mainly just watched old movies and had a few glasses of beer :)

In sorry to ask what j think is the same question again as a while ago. But specifically Bob and Terry don't one of you have a vapor flask squonk clone?

The juices I like the most are giving me so much grief. I think I'm going to get a squonk setup as they're so thick. But I need to find a good solid pocketable mod to put a Mark bugs chalice on. Given I've never squonked I really would rather start with a good clone.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a small or vapor flask style squonk clone? I doubt I'll
Find an all in one package with the type of squonk atomizer j want unfortunately (flavor and limited airflow) but if k can start with a good base I'd be willing to try
