There were things on TV that we have to wonder now at how they got away with it ...yet were so very funny!

Not too sure about the video though - seems to be from a time when such issues were very much in the foreground, because many of the points aren't even considered anymore. There are too many areas in modern life that such things don't apply to now.
'PC'ness' is on a whole different level now for the most part.

I think it was really just done for a laugh amongst the lads, although it was very near the mark in places even back then.

My 20 year old grand daughter informed me that I'm homophobic because I changed channels so I didn't have to watch men kissing each other, so I asked her what ophobic am I when I turn Strictly Come Dancing over cos I dont want to watch it

People of a certain age have to be very careful what they let slip in public, you cant even say " Babies ? I love em, but I couldn't eat a full one" :laugh:

I'm not homophobic, I have quite a few friends who are gay, but I don't want it shoved down my throat, I would rather they keep it to themselves, and yes I am oldfashioned. TBH there is too much of it on the Tele these days.

Very good find that Bob, i just ordered. Can`t argue at £47.20 and free shipping. :)

Don't forget that to use TC you will need some Ni200 wire and get the coils as close to 0.1 ohm as possible, 29AWG is probably the best to try first

EDIT: which one did you get, I ordered the Blue one

Yeah get ready to build coils with over 10 wraps. Agree with Bob 29ga or 28ga is good. I use 27ga sometimes but it gets harder to get them over 0.1ohm.

Picked up some vape mail from royal mail today. Subtank mini from myepack and some concentrates from chefs.

Also I can confirm the rba section on the Subtank mini comes with the newer insulator.

You are going to be pushing the iStick to it's limits with a sub-ohm tank to be honest, they say it will work down to 0.4 ohm, but my advice would be to wait until you can get a more powerful mod (iStick 50w maybe), if you do decide to go ahead and get an Atlantis though don't go above 25w with the iStick, leave yourself some headroom.

Good advice this.

Two things we'd be 'ophobics' about too!
Some of our best and nicest friends are gay, and we're quite comfortable with that - but we wouldn't want to watch them kissing each other! ....and both of us switch over if Strictly Comes Dancing - or anything like it - comes on the screen!
(The TV companies have saved a fortune with these documentary, fly-on-the-wall type programmes that involve phone-in voting etc.)

Yes, an old one, and was indeed funny in it's day. They'd lock Alf Garnett away and throw the key down a deep hole now!
My Dad was an army officer until late 40's, and served in Sierra Leone, India and Burma - and some of the things he could say off the cuff were so unacceptable now, it could be awkwardly hilarious to hear in this 'modern' world :facepalm: - we were often known to utter a hasty 'hush!' :laugh:

Thinking of getting a Atlantis to go with the istick 30, would you recommend it.Its the Atlantis,Kanger mini sub tank or the new Melo I want all three really.With the sub ohm tanks do I need to lower my nic I'm using 12 mgs

A few days ago, I read the following on the Aspire site - it's not dated though (which I think is a mistake with any update comments):

Last month Aspire had its successful released of the Atlantis Tank System. Recently, we’ve heard concerns about the nickel-plated brass we used on the chimney and bell housing of our Atlantis.
We at aspire value our consumers, and want to give consumers what they want. There was no intention to give wrong information, and when we did our marketing, we did not think about the "bell-housing" when the Atlantis was marketed as Stainless Steel. The majority of the Atlantis is Stainless Steel, and we over looked the bell housing section. We sincerely apologize if people thought this was misleading.
We want to thank you for supporting Aspire along with giving us your feedback and suggestions. We would like to take this opportunity to further inform you about the product and future changes:

First, the brass we use has CE and RoHS certifications, which is environmentally friendly material, and safe for human use in this application. The nickel plating is also safe and further insulates the brass, which helps preserve taste.
Second, the machining process of the chimney and bell housing is very complex, machining is time consuming in stainless steel and the cost is very expensive. By using brass, the machining is better, and more exact when it comes to high volume production.
With that said, we want you to know the current product is safe to use, and because it’s important to you our customers—we will be doing a rolling change to an all Stainless Steel construction—you talked and we listened!
Aspire will not be raising the pricing of the Atlantis due to the all Stainless Steel construction, but production time may be increased due to machining time of Stainless Steel.
We at Aspire thank you for your feedback, and be confident that Aspire’s goal is to make the best possible product to fit your vaping needs.

I was expecting you to get one of them VF that is.

Thanks bob, any recommendations on a clearo to use on the istick that would take advantage of the 30 watts

Yes, definitely - Some considerable years ago, I'll bet if you'd had a group of women in one room seeing that, and a group of men in another, both groups would have been sagely nodding in agreement! :laugh:

Subtank mini from myepack and some concentrates from chefs.
I got a flavouring by Flavour Art from them yesterday: Lemon Sicily - I wanted to make two none-Chefs lemon ones taste better. First one I tried wasn't enough improved (Highbrow Limoncello), so I'll try it with another soon: The MBV Lemon Bar, which is nice but not 'lemony' enough for me - and I'll be surprised if it doesn't work with that one ..think it'll be perfect.
I did, mostly out of curiosity, add two drops to a 1.8ml tank of LCCC, and the extra lemon taste is really nice!
It's a very good lemon flavouring - no acid edge to it and a good clean lemon taste.

Just been doing some battery drain checking and the Atlantis should be okay on the iStick 30 upto about 29w maximum (personally I would reduce that by 2w to 27w) any regulated mod should never be run at full wattage, you always need some headroom for safety sake.

The only other clearo would be the Nautilus Mini but max on those is about 20w - your only other option is to go for a rebuildable.

:offtopic: Totally off topic but for anyone using Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 when Windows 10 comes out for the 1st year MS will offer a free (yes I did say FREE) upgrade:

http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/microso...=nl.e302&s_cid=e302&ttag=e302&ftag=CADf5e0db9
May be classed 'off topic' but none of us would be happily chatting here and ordering our new 'wonders' without a computer of some sort! :)

Ah! Could be good news, 8.1 does my head in, bits shooting out of everywhere.A program designed for touch screens,i think,it's a PITA.

Unless Trish has a cure that is ;-)
I got my current computer in 2011 - because I'm self employed and need a computer for a number of work related heavy load programmes, I wanted a real work-horse with all mod-cons and able to cope in as bomb proof a way as possible.
I had to have Windows 7 Pro unless I paid extra for the company to get a copy of XP, so agreed to 7. It's a great O/S and I'll be very sad when I have to lose it.

Only last week, I contacted my computer company about my future needs and asked if I should have them hold a new copy of W7 to install when I do need a new one - the answer was no, because in no time, Microsoft will discontinue support for W7, and we'll be vulnerable yet again.
He did say that already they are testing and learning the new W10 O/S, and find that while more or less OK, there's areas that do need considerable tweaking and ironing out. It's apparently everything that Windows 8 should have been. So I'm not too sure what to make of that!

So, I'm hoping that my current computer keeps going long enough for the new O/S to be totally 'good for use' - and that 'll mean a lot of guinea pigs will be finding the quirks and foibles as thousands try to use it for everything they want to do, (just as they did with W8) ..which as we know, is a very diverse selection of applications in modern computing.

Thankfully, my computer suppliers have excellent after-sales, and helped me any time I was stuck when getting my head around W7 after years of using XP!
With luck, my W7 will work well until a good 6 months after W10 has been out in the wild! :facepalm:

I wish there was a way for those of us who would like to keep an older O/S that we're happy with, but the great 'god of computing' that are MS, will not allow their customers to have what they want, even if it means continued support on just one or two previous O/S's for an extra year or two.

I have what I assume must be a form of W8 on my phone, and would hate that on my computer - it may work very nicely on phones and tablets, but for those of us still using a desktop, I don't much care for it.

I have v8 on the lappy, which I don't use much - prefer the v7 on my desktop - but I don't think 10 is going to be much better for those of us that like the look and feel of v7, I hate the windows they are a throwback to Win 3.1 or if you've seen Linux - very similar, I prefer the glossy finish and Aero see through borders on my applications, and having a proper desktop (yes I know you can now have something similar, but it's not the same).

I will probably get the free upgrade to try it and probably end up reinstalling 7 :laugh:

Well I only have 3 blue ones, an old Sigelei, hardly used, a Gizmo 17 and the iStick, when I got the SXK SX300 the other day I wanted the Blue but they didn't have it in stock so went with the Red one (which turned out to be Bronze :laugh:)

While I'll never use such high wattage, what power are things such as the MOW and GS16 capable of?

Don't know about the GS16, but the only MOW I have running is on an iStick at 10w - anything higher and it tastes burnt to me but that's with a 70/30 Strix liquid, might go higher with 50/50 or higher VG, this one is nearly finished so will give the other one a go with some Kingslayer in it, and let you know.

EDIT: Some coil heads have the wattage range printed on them
