Why not "great Panjandrum"? or "Lord Tom-Doddy"?

Then again...(though they would get through the filter).

Er - OK then: Panjandrum, also known as The Great Panjandrum, was a massive, rocket-propelled, explosive-laden cart designed by the British military during World War II. It was one of a number of highly experimental projects, including Hajile and the Hedgehog, that were developed by the Admiralty's Directorate of Miscellaneous Weapons Development (DMWD) in the final years of the war. The Panjandrum was never used in battle.

Yes please.

Yes please what? more Friday 'toy' afternoons - or, I should 'say more' and shut up about fun afternoons

I emptied the Lemo of that disgusting ocean juice earlier straight down the sink

Sounds the best place for it! I'm puzzled about some of the reviews brands like that get ...what on earth are people using them with to get such glowing reviews?

Rewicked and filled it with strazzle tea `MBV` Really nice vape, full on raspberry flavour. Also cleaned out another Lemo and filled with Goose Juice, Now that is a lovely custard, Nice and sweet
Finally, i decided to try the freebie from CH, `Rainbow Roundies` Been dripping it using the VF, and i have to say it is rather pleasant, great if you have got a sweet tooth like me Now i don`t get any chocolate, But The candy surround of the sweets is definitely there, and it is very dominant. So anyone who likes smarties, i would recommend that one !

Not sure I'd like Smarties with no chocolate. Still, always nice to use a few that taste good!
I've been enjoying my usual Chefs Doughnut today plus the CO Star Interstate & Hot Chocolate from Avant Garde (Nice, but not as good as their Chocolate Doughnut)

Hey Trish, if we can't have a laugh, what's left. It's all a bit of fun.

Absolutely spot on correct! Laughs should be in the 'Rulez' too! Compulsory and spontaneous :laugh

For you clever people out there, a snip from Collins english dictionary

Right ...so we need a receival receptacle (I just added it to the spellcheck dictionary...just to confuse it!).

Oddly enough, We have a receival receptacle called a postbox. We got it because the dogs annihilate anything that appears through the letterbox - said letterbox is now firmly stuck shut .... - very funny to see people trying to open it to post junk mail, having just walked right past a fairly sizeable white post box! ....just thought I'd throw that in

 

[Brynglas]

Right ...

Yes i was,thanks very much

 

[Pictor]

Yes i was,thanks very much

You is nuts George! ...in the best possible way ...and yes, you was!

 

[Brynglas]

You is nuts George! ...in the best possible way ...and yes, you was!

Trish,i am without doubt the craziest person you will ever have the misfortune to come across in your life.
I'm only going to be here the once so nuts is good for me.

If you fancy a bit of choccy with your cuzzy Terry,try their Gizzard juice.

I don`t do choccy george, Well i don`t vape it

Bloody awful trish The thing is, it smells lovely in the bottle, but is totally unvapeable.

If you can just imagine tasting the coatings, that is what i get. It is quirky and nice

Very mellow mate, but if it's not your thing.

How's the Lemo wicking with the 100%vg?
I've only tried it thru' an Atlantis.I'm asking because i think the flavour may come out more with the Lemo.

Which 100% vg is that mate ?

 

[terry w]

Which 100% vg is that mate ?

EDIT: Oh the goose juice, not tried it properly yet, just had a quick blast earlier after filling up. Will report later on.

 

[Brynglas]

Goose Juice mate.


Edit:Ha ha seen your edit

Goose Juice mate.

Just vaping it now George on the sig @ 15 watts. So far so good with the wicking, with no sign of a dry hit. Lets hope it stays that way

 

[dw117]

George I know you've got an Atlantis,but have you got a kanger subtank.The reason I'm asking it looks easy to change the coils and rewick,looking at the videos on YouTube and would you recommend it for a first rebulidable

I think the Lemo is very easy to build on,hey it must be i can do it.
Or a Kayfun that's an easier one aswell,you're really better asking Adam about the subtank

I still haven't gotten the replacement 510 pin for my subtank mini so I've been unable to try the rebuildable section BUT it looks pretty straightforward, catching the wires under the screws looks easier than kayfuns/lemos etc, and wicking is probably the same as anything else. I think it would make a perfect first rebuildable as if you don't get on with it you've still got the ability to use the OCC coils.

I've been vaping on the 0.5ohm OCC coil it came with (the 510 issue doesn't affect the OCC coils) at work for 2 weeks now and it's great. Loads of vapour and good flavour. Not sure if it'll last another week as it's already kinda gunked up and the cotton is brownish but it's a great vape.

On the subject of the insulator the one I got had the newer peek insulator and like someone said I *believe* all the minis have the newer insulator. If you're concerned get it from myepack as mine was fine and they have great service.

 

[trouble1000]

I dont own a TC type mod but I've been thinking about wrapping a coil with consistently spaced coils, would it be practical to wrap a duel strand parallel coil with 28g and say 33 g wire, then while it's still on the mandrel unwind the 33g to leave the 28 g as the finished coil ?

See Bob's post mate. But I'd go for a 2mm bolt as well - be a lot easier.

The HotCig clone is not as well made as the Proper SXK made in collaboration with YiHi, for one thing the screen is too close to the edge, the fire button is slightly bigger & needs more pressure as well

I honestly thought it was a B&H packet Does look good though mate,

Well the curse of Friday 13th struck, the machinery they wanted to use to do my procedure failed to work correctly, they've only had it a week, Siemens engineers called in and finally said it would take all day to get it back working, and because the other equipment they have is not suitable for what I had to have done, I along with another chap got kicked out and have to go back in 2 weeks time (at least with it being new there is not a great waiting list at the moment).

That stinks Bob. having to go home after you've made a special trip there, you should be reimbursed travel expenses, say you went by helicopter

You mean the build i have got in my trident right now ? Or when i do a Lemo Ian !

The build in the dripper mate. But if you can look into the future and tell me how long the Lemo lasts, that will be great too

Used this in one room of the house Ian.
I'll have to redo it again.It's not very hard wearing at all.If you are daft enough to touch the skirting boards with a vacuum cleaner it just peels off.
There's just no strength in the paint like the oil based product.Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings,but i was not impressed.

The one I got was a Crown one. I've re-laid the carpet and vacuumed before hand, no sign of any peeling or scuffing - so that's a relief.

Just wasn't too happy about the way it went on. Even using a gloss roller and laying it on thick on the doors, I still had to do 2 coats. It dries really quick though, touch dry within about half an hour. Seems strange, when I go into the hallway, no lingering paint smell

Vape mail today juice from FT, juice from Virtual Vape and guess what, juice from LiQuid.
Sorted my stock and I gotta stop buying, I've got over 600 ml un opened.

Bloody hell Dave, you'll have to slow down mate. You'll have as much juice as me soon

It's back now and one that had some strengths o/s is fully stocked again - things do seem to appear and disappear since they got the new site though

I can hear the music from the "Twilght Zone" in my head

I'm sure some wise old Sage way back had something to say about gluttony ....Grasshopper!

Fill yer boots is what I say

Always hard knowing about something good and not being able to say anything! I found it really well flavoured.
Seems to have been a good seller at the two outlets they have, so hopefully it'll be a popular one. I've seen it on the EU site for a while, but never seen any on the actual Zapp website.
It'll be pre-steeped too - which is why there's a gap between the batches at the moment.

It's strange that they didn't release it sooner. Guess their doing a Grants - release it in small batches to specific areas only and watch it obtain legendary status

Have re-tried the Interstate Certified CO Star and it's not that bad - yes mild, but a nice creamy vanilla with a hint of coconut ..and of course, I can always do a bit of alchemy with it

Time to don the lab coat then Trisha.

Not used to the sanding etc! You always find some lesser used muscles.

I think it's probably down to the twisting and turning on the ladders while painting the ceilings. My stairs are really awkward to paint, I have to move the ladders every couple of minutes to be able to reach all areas. I should be good at yoga now though

We always use the water based gloss or eggshell for inside - and it's great. Only one has a nasty smell, but one does make a poor job of coverage and wear (can't think which now, but think it may be the Dulux one on both counts). Our Favourite is Sanderson eggshell, and although it costs more, it does a very good job on everything, including radiators, and in bigger tins, the kitchen walls. There's another we use just for the doors (pale Hemp Beige) - a nice satin finish and it's 1829 by Craig & Rose (B&Q).

I'll remember those for next time Trisha. You'll probably have to remind me though, can't see myself doing the painting marathon again for at least another 10 years

 

[trouble1000]

Well I can get back to the serious task of charging batteries and cleaning out tanks tomorrow

I've decided, I'm going to cut back my rotation of mods tomorrow. Having about 16 on the go at once is a bit too much. So I'm going to cut it down by half. I'll still keep the unused set-ups in my stand - would look a bit odd with empty spaces.

-------------------------------------

Had a phone call from the Union Rep at work today. Looks like I'll be going on "Core" rate in a week or so, which is good news. Extra money, better shifts and holidays. The only downside is, I'll be coming off the quiet routes and back on to the main busier routes, plus I'll be doing 10 hour duties. On the up-side better pay, holidays, less lates, no 12 hour split shifts. But best of all, every 4 weeks my long weekend (which is normally 4 days) will now become 6 days off.

In some ways I'm happy, but I'll miss all the OAPs

 

[Davantrac]

Can anyone give me some tips on wicks please? I'm a month or two into rebuildables and have only used Japanese cotton pads, I have never even used the pre installed wick/coil you get when buy a new atty. I've just been struggling this week with one of my Erls, normally I get them spot on but I'm having a bad run with this one. I think too thin and too long and it floods, too thick gets dry hits it's just a pita this week. So I've shoved some of the string type in that you get when buy an atty but that is too loose but did give a better taste to start off.
Now, what type of wick is that? Can I buy it different diameters? Or is worth trying something different like rayon?
Cheers.

 

[Brynglas]

I think it would make a perfect first rebuildable as if you don't get on with it you've still got the ability to use the OCC coils.

Makes good sense that Adam.

Silica is what it is Dave, the string stuff. To be honest, I've not used silica for months now. Once I got into cotton, then rayon, going back to silica builds would be like going from a Ferrari to a Reliant Robin

Rayon is bloody great mate, but it's got a bit of a learning curve to it. I've heard of a lot of people having success with rayon in the Erl type attys though.

 

[trouble1000]

Forgot to mention Dave. You can get silica in different diameters. When I used to use it, I had 1mm and 2mm. You can also double it over for an even thicker wick.
