The Italians have their own 'preciousness' regarding coffee anyway ...probably don't have anything like that, or possibly caffè bianco.
They possibly can't tell an Englishman from a Spaniard!
I had to use the right term in Madrid by asking for con leche - it's a place with very little English unless young and decently educated.
I once asked for a dessert with cream ...they had to have the chef 'manufacture' some - it was a bit odd to say the least!
It is actually Cafe con Latte in Italian more commonly called Latte
Sorry Bob you've lost me,what are we talking about
Sorry just re-read your message, got confused and thought you had ordered a VF as that was what my previous message was about not the VS that you mentioned.

Just recvd this from EVKOO: doesn't make sense as they had already recvd payment:
Seeing as I now cannot find it on their website - they can shove their order where the sun don't shine

Unless it's with a nice treacle tart
I don't? Hmm ...could be good though - mine is around 16" long and as straight as a plumb bob!
Stick with straight hair Trisha or use rollers - much safer
...and I had all of you to keep me moving forward!
I can still happily use an Evod, but on a better battery such as an iPow, but my iSticks and MOW's/mini Nautili are what suits me fine!
It would take a lot to send me back to cigarettes, but it would be the health issues in my case ..and the continued search for my missing brain cells to join the 'dots' up!
That's what we're here for, besides poking fun at each other
Afraid I can't help with the missing brain cells though
You're gonna have to give us some feedback on that
There will be a full report to follow shortly Bob
I'd love a decent coffee maker, but to be honest, I don't drink a huge amount of coffee - about 3 cups per day. The Wife on the other hand is a coffee fiend
I do like the Nescafe Alta Rica coffee though - nice and strong and rich tasting.
Ah well!We can't all be the same.
At least you get what you order 'tho mate
The World would be really boring George, if we all liked the same thing
Terry wouldn't have anything to moan about then
As Bob has said, the IPV is a good choice too. Just make sure you've got some decent 18650 batteries and a good quality charger.
Apart from that, looks like you're good to go with that order
If I were you Bob I'd report it to paypal, there could be a breach in security
bet they had a raft of complaints through PP, so they've had the account closed.
It was paypal that told me the money had been returned so, no problem as far as I'm concerned they've cancelled the order and refunded me
My teaching session
Just over 2 hours in total.
My workmate arrived, mod and dripper in hand - I took one look at it and said send it back
It was a 26650 mod, couldn't see a makers name on it, just had a weird logo on the fire button. The dripper was a 26mm Vulcan dripper, for a triple coil set up
I told him it was totally unsuitable, unless he wanted to vape straight VG only, or risk frying his lungs. The dripper only had 2 post holes drilled, when it needed all 3 drilling, so it couldn't be used anyway.
After a bit of a lecture on safe vaping and what he wanted to get from vaping, I showed him the iStick and Kayfun set up. But first I let him try my dual coil orchid, he nearly choked on it. I said, if that one is too harsh for you, then a triple coil will be worse still - that convinced him.
So after a long tutorial on coils and wicks, I set up a Kayfun Lite for him at 1.6 ohms popped it on the iStick and he was really happy with it. He's trying it out for a week and if it works out he can pay me for the set up then. I used the organic Japanese cotton that he'd bought separately for wicking and showed him how to a dry burn, change the wick and what to do if he got a dry hit. He was using some Unicorn Blood from Fuzion Vapours that he'd got for Christmas - I was surprised how VG heavy it was - really thick liquid.
He didn't have any batteries (apart from Duracell
) for the mod, or an ohm meter, or a charger.
So the session ended well

Only problem is, I've now lost my Blue iStick and a decent Kayfun Lite Plus clone from my back up vape gear - looks like I'll have to visit FT again

I smell FISH
Just done a quick Google - Reddit and Facebook both seem to give EVKOO bad reviews. Looks like they do Group buy then ship out orders - some posters had been waiting 3 months for shipments to be processed
They collect all year round here trish ! And them bikes are well out of my price range
Some really nice vintage ones though

Probably be a bit more of a comfy ride than the vintage ones too

Some people really shouldn't be let loose on their own
at least you've improved his knowledge and hopefully saved him some more grief

Well, I won't be dealing with them, at least I didn't lose any money, just time wasted
The new 30 & 50 watt isticks were announced today, just the specs, haven't seen any prices or a launch date
A Chinese company is claiming that it is about to launch a mod with temperature control for any coil !!!

..As long as you don't ask for 'latte' in Italy - you'll just get a glass of milkIt is actually Cafe con Latte in Italian more commonly called Latte
Nice in a trifle! ....wonder if anyone remembers the vanilla slices from local bakeries back in the day before these sloppy custard type slices appeared. The vanilla slices were filled with a thick custard that had set properly- not like the fluffed up excuse for custard they use now. I reckon they must have been 1.5 inches thick too.Unless it's with a nice treacle tart
I've always liked custard
Apart from the odd curly perm down the years, it's always been straight, so suppose I'll need to keep it! I do use hot rollers once a week after washing it!Stick with straight hair Trisha or use rollers - much safer
Some days, amongst the intellect, it's like a tennis match of insults being lobbed back and forth ....hilarious!That's what we're here for, besides poking fun at each other
Duh! Thought you'd at least know where I'd find a few!Afraid I can't help with the missing brain cells though
Seriously though - its too much of a coincidence not to be smoking related - whatever was in cigarettes fired up the creative side of my brain and kept me totally motivated & absorbed. Now it's all I can do to piece a composition together in less than a day!
I have a number of day and night supplements that are good for increasing serotonin and dopamine etc., so I'm going to start taking them every day for a few weeks to see if they help. Even the nurse agreed it was likely down to not smoking as something in the tobacco is a very active brain stimulant, and she hadn't read the articles that I have on the subject. Probably affects some more than others.
Well, we've got a Gaggia and now two of the pod machines, and I like the pod machines for their easy use, cleaning and decent coffee. The Gaggia is stored away now!I'd love a decent coffee maker, but to be honest, I don't drink a huge amount of coffee - about 3 cups per day. The Wife on the other hand is a coffee fiend
Tesco still have the black version of the Jovia (made for Nescafe Dolce Gusto by Delonghi) for £39, but the red one was back up to around £80 after they sold out of the special offer ones. You get £10 off coffee from the Dolce Gusto site (cheaper than Tesco!) and a box of 6 samples in the box.
I only drink one coffee each day usually - but it's a large one!
If that's an instant, I haven't had instant coffee since I was at work in the 80's! I only started drinking coffee again when we got the first Senseo machine around 10 years ago.
We have the bins emptied all year round, but garden waste is April to October.They collect all year round here trish !
Well I didn't mean for you to buy any!And them bikes are well out of my price range
I see lots of nice Chinese artefacts and fine art on Sotheby's and Bonham's auctions, but have never bought any of it!
I tend to buy the chipped or cracked Chinese porcelain from an antiques dealer who buys direct from China. It's a lot more now, but when I was buying mine, it was excellent prices because he mainly sold to the trade then.
For me, the best ones were 60's - early 70'sI like the look of that Ducati Supermono
Used to be a chap around the corner here with two Ducati's: a red one and a yellow one!

I'm pretty certain that another tutorial will be needed when he comes to re-coil it. I did run through the process a couple of times with him, so we'll see what happens
To be honest, I quite enjoyed doing it. I'll have to start night classes in coiling
It's still annoying though when you've done the research on the product you want, spent time finding the best deal, then they mess you about like that.
Vinnie, any idea if the sizes have changed on the 30 & 50 watt models mate ??
If the 50 watt is the same size as the old 20 watt one and the price is right, I could be tempted
Nice in a trifle! ....wonder if anyone remembers the vanilla slices from Sparks back in the day before these sloppy custard type slices appeared. Sparks vanilla slices were filled with a thick custard that had set properly- not like the fluffed up excuse for custard they use now. I reckon they must have been 1.5 inches thick too.

I'm a bit strange with custard. I love it hot, or cold in a trifle, but not cold in a custard slice. However, if it's more on the vanilla side, then I like those custard slices.
Told you I was strange
Apart from the odd curly perm down the years, it's always been straight, so suppose I'll need to keep it! I do use hot rollers once a week after washing it!
I wish mine was long enough to put in rollers. In fact, just having a full head of hair would be a bonus
Some days, amongst the intellect, it's like a tennis match of insults being lobbed back and forth ....hilarious!
Never a dull moment
Sorry I can't share any of the 2 brain cells I've got
Let us know how you get on with the supplements Trisha, we'll all keep our fingers crossed for you
I'll tell the Wife about the Pod machines, thanks for the info.
You're right, Alta Rica is an instant coffee. It is a nice one, but I'm no coffee expert. It is made from 100% Arabica beans - I've just checked the label

I do prefer 4 wheels myself, but some bikes are just so sexy looking. They look like their going a 100mph just standing still.
