Probably half way between the VTC4s and 25Rs, although I did hear that they were re-wrapped VTC4s

Okay, well i may as well get some VT`s then bob I will order after typing this, and get some Ni 200, and another chefs order, then when my flask arrives i should be good for quite a while then

 

[trouble1000]

Well it's the start of a new day, so I'll wish you all good night.

Good night

 

[terry w]

Nooo, only the 2500mAh ones, go for the VTC4s

Will do bob

Terry, do you know who quoted the line from your siggy mate ??

I've seen it quoted by a few different people, just wondering if you know who it was from originally.

Off the top of my melon Ian no ! It was my first ever siggy when i joined here Get it googled

EDIT: From what i can find, it comes from the bible...http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...OXkPElh3E4lMwsPGw&sig2=ZwJgWZeoRZ-bIGO-bIHdcg

Double EDIT: It mentions vaping as well

The original is unknown, but it has been used by many people including Ray Charles, Muhammed Ali, Steve Jobs and more

I see that chefs have now got moose juice in stock, i`ll have to have a closer look at that VT`s ordered, but at the mesh vape company they are out of stock on the NI 200 28 awg

Yay! Thank you George ...that's nice

How's it going anyway Trish have the problems settled down at all?
It would seem mine were down to too higher nic,cut down from 18 to 12.And i'm OK with it sleeping better and everything.

The high sensitivity to PG and certain flavours won't go, but I'm starting to sleep better ..in fact, I fell asleep for an hour around 6pm the past two evenings - not exactly proper sleeping patterns, but not a mind that refuses to shut off! Now all I need is a mind that can focus on, and stay concentrating on work!
I'm still troubled with vertigo too - bent down and hugged the dog this afternoon and have felt really out of sorts ever since!

Did you get that GS16 yet?

No, and I did think it may have arrived by now ...it's only Ireland after all! Still, perhaps tomorrow!

It`s funny how we don`t pay much attention to other people banners, But we check our own on a regular basis

True, I look at mine and then take a look at others. They're a very motivational tool though

Anyway`s congratulations Trish on your first milestone, and open the door this time !

Aw thanks! You brought flowers!

Realised that after I posted ,

No worries ..only a few hours

also noticed that you joined here 4.5 years before actually giving up, I'm exactly 31 days behind you on giving up.

I first joined when I wanted to read about e-cigs ...and then decided not to bother with them! Not long before you reach your 1year!

Didn't see that Trish, Congrats on the 1 Year mark Hoping you have Many, Many More.

Thanks Burnie! I can well remember a year ago wondering how far that banner would count up to before I failed! If I can get this far, I see no reason to fail now ...but I never count chickens

Yes i know what you mean bob, but the Hana goes into sleep mode very quickly, so i have to press to wake the bugger up then press again to fire it No need to do that with the siggy, sleeping or not it fires instantly

Sing to it Terry, it couldn't possibly sleep then!

I've not used the Molinberry Trisha. In fact, until you mentioned it, I'd never heard of it before

I found it when searching for a 'best peach flavouring' - I ordered their Creamy Vanilla flavouring from Chefs today ...Chefs have increased their range of MBV Flavouring too.

We don't have spiders in Rochdale, we have tarantulas

Oh ....nice!

Congratulations Trisha, a major milestone achieved - well done

Thanks! As you know, it's had it's frustrating moments, but it did give me quite a proud moment when I saw it this morning

So a tarantula Isn`t a spider then ?

Nah ...'tis a bloody big monster wiv teef!

and another chefs order

Chefs have a new ready to use liquid: Moose Juice! There's only 8 and mostly, they seem to be cream, nut, vanilla, ice cream biased. They're High VG (much to my delight!) so I hope the VG etc. is as good as Chefs! I going to try three of them: Neapolitan Ice Cream, Golden Goose & Creamy Hazelnut Roulade.
I rather like the sound of the Toasted Almond Bar & Pecan Pie ones too.

Double EDIT: It mentions vaping as well

Ooh! "Our lives are but a vapour..." very profound ...very true.

I see that chefs have now got moose juice in stock, i`ll have to have a closer look at that VT`s ordered, but at the mesh vape company they are out of stock on the NI 200 28 awg

I'd e-mail them to ask when they think they will have more stock in.

I kept checking their site for Ni200 wire a while ago and eventually after a week or so I think I e-mailed and they said something like "we do have that in stock I think the website just hasn't been updated yet so check back later today"

and viola there it was.

Also saw this on the cloupor facebook as a reply to any comments posted about the cloupor mini catching fire issues:

" We feel very sorry to take you any trouble,because our stuffs made wrong installation of the integrated circuit for 1 batch of the product, some of the Cloupor mini products may have a problem of overheat or short circuit,but the probability is about 0.1%-0.2%,and it leads to that cloupor mini's circuit board was melted down,it did not take any other results then.If you already had or worry about this problem,please do not hesitate to contact our user@cloupor.com so that our after sales can tell you how to identify your mini is OK or not and offer you solution in time.And some competitors and users overstated the fact online,please be calm down,we must bear your loss if it is caused by us.Thank you"

Hmmmm it's a start but they need to pull their fingers out and release a statement and offer a solution.


EDIT: I e-mailed them to see what their response would be and they basically re-iterated that statement and said they are checking on the batch (I think, Cloupor really needs some English language experts). At least their response was swift. Wait and see I guess.

What the hell is Moose Juice, never mind I'll look on CV...Creamy Hazlenut Roulade sounds nice, but only in 30ml bottles !!

29g ?? just as good or 27g

They really need to get an english speaker to work on their team, that can translate for them, that was one thing that increased my perception of Innokin from that video, they had a Canuck on the team, but back to Cloupor, I don't think that posting will help their cause one bit, and a batch would be about 1000 units which is 1% not 0.1% of what they claim they have shipped 100,000 units. Hopefully another company might buy them out and sort out the problems that they have been going through.

They still haven't replied to my query I sent to that email address over a month ago.

Personally I find 29g harder to work with than 28ga. I know it's only a 0.02mm difference in thickness but I think it does make a significant difference when coiling. Once you've got it all done though it works well.

27ga is fine to work with but you need to use more wire to get to 0.1ohms (obv), I think 27ga Ni200 coils don't produce quite such a warm vape as 28ga due to the extra surface area needed. Ni200 wire thickness seems to matter more than with kanthal for how the vape is.

Agreed about the english. See my edit on my previous post.

Jeremy Kyle on the telly this morning mentioned a fake e cig that was allegedly responsible for a house fire, no source for the statement or whether this was a new or older case
This is the sensationalist, lazy journalism that I've come to expect wherever vaping is concerned, it's a pity that there aren't more considered, balanced views expressed rather than the ill informed foot in mouth blanket statements. What about the thousands of us who picked up our brew and our rigs this morning and thanked the vaping gods for another cigless day
To Jeremy Kyle, a guy whose life is so interesting that he has to dig into the dirty secrets of others I would say, Jeremy, sometimes it is better to keep your gob shut and have people THINK you're a lady part, rather than open it and remove all doubt

 

[vince01]

Having vented my spleen the red mist has now dissipated to be replaced by the unmistakable clouds of RY4

Normally I would not advocate the use of an electrical clone (just a personal view), but being the owner and user of a faultless smart 20 mod and having read that it and the BOU 20 watt mods are OEM from the iStick stable, I feel justified in pointing out that FT are advertising a BOU 30 watt mod for about 16 quid. It's on my wish list in case vendors want more than 40 quid for the Innokin mvp V3 when the scramble dies down

Must admit I prefer 28g, but if it's not available, that's why I suggested what I did and with the new coilers it doesn't make a lot of difference.

Ah yes of course those coiler things will help no end. Got a set of coil masters on order with FT but they haven't come into stock for my order yet

I found it somewhere else (US site I think) and it was just 30ml bottles there too.
Had an email from Karl a short while ago ...turns out the High VG is the 3mg ...rest is 50/50 (Glad he spotted that!) - so I'm getting mine in 3mg. No bad thing

I'm sure 'copies' come in many forms from rubbish to excellent - we just need to be selective and careful until we can evaluate them for ourselves.
I saw the BOU 30, but they don't appear to have the refinements of the iStick 30. Still good value though!

Agreed about the english. See my edit on my previous post.

A lot of these companies are easily big enough to justify the employment of a native English speaker - instruction books/leaflets alone are a joke with many things.

WooHooo Vapemail: my VaporFlask has arrived, 7 days from ordering, 6 from shipping, that is FAST, can't take a piccy at the moment, phone on charge, but to give an idea of size it's about 10mm shorter than the IPV and about 17mm wider, feels very comfortable in the right hand with forefinger on the fire button. I tried the Lemo that I have on the VS on it, but it is not reading it properly, so will have to do a build on something else that has a better contact.

My Black KeepPower batteries fit just fine.

 

[Bobw1951]

and the piccy of it next to the IPV:

 

[Brynglas]

Difficult question Bob,are the measurements on these the same as an original,do you know.

Struggling to find some Ni wire,everywhere seems sold out,any suggestions.

Edit:Stealthvape seem to have it stocked.Do i want Annealed or Tempered?
