I did screw it apart to take a look ...then screwed it back on pretty quickly :blink:

You reckon ...I think the mental image of me poking around with it and failing miserably is more enough. I think the screwdriver was made for The Borrowers for a start!
Still, if I feel like messing with my head, I'll take a look at Youtube! :laugh:

I'll take Terry up on his offer to 'fix it' and I'll keep it as a back up, and perhaps find out how to keep it going :)

Trish, if you send it next week i will get it done for you, and get it back to you with the stock coils i am giving you.:laugh: If you could find out how to `keep it going` :D You would save yourself a small fortune. :laugh:

I'll stay with pre made coils for now, and your 'spare' ones ;) - but if I send you this one and you fix it at some point, I'll have a back-up and perhaps be able to get further with it then ...sound like a plan?

All sounds good - so glad about the coffee! (I see the Sweet Cream flavouring still on the MBV site) - be interested to hear about the cracker!

Yep, i think our posts are crossing Trish :laugh: I will report on the GC later on, but from my couple of puffs after filling it did taste quite nice, and i definitely got the honey part. :)

Thanks Terry! ...if anything, I'm too careful/gentle with things- all I did was look at the rba and screwed it apart once I realised that's how to get into it, and then screwed it back together :laugh: Build a coil? :blink: Nah!

Honestly Trish it`s not as hard as you imagine. Once you are used to it, it takes a few minutes of your time, and think of them pennies you will save :toast: I am really working on you now aren`t i :laugh:

Yes, I'll do that Terry ...along with two 10ml bottles LCCC that got sent to me in error: they're 50/50 3mg and 6mg!
Then in time, I'll hopefully work out how to do the rest! ...I really do hate anything fiddly! I get cross if I have to thread a needle to sew a button on!

Yes you is - but it would be nice to start saving a bit ...seem to have done nothing but pay for stuff so far this year!
I'll give it a go with your help and my patience if I find any! :laugh: ...I'll look at Youtube at some point too.

I'm hoping the 1.2 coils are good from FT ..they state authentic, so should be OK! Glad I ordered a few 510 tips too ..I really don't care for these wide ones! Got one of these coming: https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10010818/1924605-rhombi-pattern-anodized-aluminum-510-drip-tip, and also a glass one.

Just for you Trish: here's a fairly easy coil & wick tutorial:
Thanks Bob - had a quick look, and it didn't make what I'd call perfect sense, but I'll go through it properly soon :thumb:

and for Ian and the rest of you here is Todd's review of the Squonk³:
Apparently, Nicoticket is going to sell a new squonk mod soon.

Thanks very much Trish, i can always add a bit of nic to them :)

That drip tip is very you :) If they Are authentic coils trish, there`s no reason for them not to be fine, fingers crossed :p I like them Glass bead tips you have trish, and i may order some of them at some point !

I am currently vaping away with the graham cracker, and it is rather nice and tastes as described, just not sure if it is my type of flavour though. I was looking at chefs concentrates earlier, and i reckon they have all the flavours which i would be happy to permanently use. So apart from trying the odd different one, i think it will be all my liquids from chefs, from now on. :)

Be alright if it's a regulated one and at a decent price
I wasn't taking a lot of notice, but I think it's high end, and perhaps one modulated one mechanical ....can't be certain though.

I thought it just the right size for me, plus it's unfussy in shape and will also look a good match with the Subtanks! :)

If the ones I've ordered are good, I'll get some more in the hope they're from the same source! :)

I was pleasantly surprised with the one I already have - it's a good fit on everything I've tried it on, and I thought it very good for the price. That black St. Steel one is good too.

They do make up the biggest part of what I use on a daily basis. Very glad I started using them fairly early in my use of bottled liquid. They're a great comparison tool for all the rest too!
I'm yet to try a concentrate for something I've used a lot for a long time ..be interesting if I do.

Order from ft has been shipped two day's earlier than expected.The showing off and stamping of the feet worked
There was a 3 day until stocking item I got in my order the other day, but somehow, it shipped out within a day with the rest of the order! - for such a big company, they're very efficient and good to deal with.

...and we're supposed to trust these people with our lives? Raedio Interference | Planet of the Vapes

I thought doctors read the Lancet for a start!

As you say Trish, unbelievable, but typical of this kind attack he can use the term "professional" in his opinion and at best the supporters of vaping are seen as enthusiastic laymen, at worst being in many cases vendors or suppliers, as having a vested interest. We need a credible professional to champion our cause. As I see it part of the problem is that the antis want to attack at every opportunity whereas the pros just want to be left to vape in peace
I have a bad feeling that lack of organisation and a general burying of heads in the sand is going to lead to the end of vaping, the ill informed but unchallenged interview that you linked being a symptom of a general lethargy and air of denial amongst the majority of vapers, I'm sure that most vapers dont use forums or bother to read articles concerning the future of vaping so any liberties taken by the powers that be will go largely unchallenged until it's too late

Great! Glad you managed that! :)
Not sure how they distributed these things, but again, a fair number of French sites have them listed, some out of stock - not clear whether they're waiting for stock or already ran out. Some are quite expensive too. I checked the retailer in Ireland, but they haven't listed this one.
They're described as 'Limited Edition' on some sites.
Paypal seems to be disassociating itself from e-cig products.

Thing is, we've seen plenty of professional studies and results from eminent physicians, surgeons and scientists ..many based at our own UK hospitals. Articles have been published in the Lancet, or produced after in depth studies by such as Prof. Rbt. West of UCH London.
How more professional do they need?
As I've said before, when the doctors and scientists were issuing similar research that warned of the dangers in cigarette smoking, the governments told us to listen to them and stop smoking ...in fact, they never shut up telling us, knowing very well that the percentages of smokers would not drop too much due to the highly addictive ingredients in cigarettes - so eventually, a way that is even better than a compromise evolved, and millions have found it effective and benefitted - so now, why are we not being told this time to listen to the scientists?
I can only see it as governments pandering to the BT and BP - BT for obvious reasons, and BP because they too are losing money from the NRT products, and both likely wish they had been the champions of the e-cigs ..profiting and happy :rolleyes:
I don't doubt for a moment that these big industries provide plenty of cash to the campaign and general coffers of the various political party's. Threats to remove that support, together with the decrease in tax revenue are enough to turn the governments heads when the naysayers try devious tactics like false information regarding the safety of e-cigs.

As I said before - I can not believe the blinkered obstinacy of governments when it comes to the bottom line and the bean counters.

Too many people don't know what they're talking about, and don't take the time to read through at least a couple of reports on the subject ...proper, professional reports that is.

The whispering antis are mostly the fat cats who want to keep the smokers smoking, followed by the anti-smoking brigade who are too stubborn to see that there is virtually no similarity to smoking tobacco. The nicotine is the only common denominator, and even then, it's a different form altogether.
Perhaps if a more official body of professionals got together and had an intense and informative campaign against any harsh regulation, the government would find it harder to bulldoze it aside.

Two party leaders (that I know of) have so far used e-cigs favourably in this campaign: Clegg admitting he uses one with blueberry liquid and has stopped smoking recently by using it, and Farage who finds they're helping him cut down on cigarettes.
I don't think it's a coincidence that this information came out in recent interviews - it proves that they're all well aware that there's a lot of public feeling in favour of e-cigs, and probably think it will draw more votes their way if they're seen to be endorsing it rather than condemning it.
I daresay Farage may not impose much in the way of restrictions if he had power, but I don't think Clegg would seek to block any such legislation. He'd perhaps be more in favour of a limited 'weaning off' programme with dispensed nicotine liquid/cartridges, because he'll perhaps be one of the people who use them to give up and then stop using them altogether.

No good feeling cuddly and happy with a politicians manifesto promises and electioneering ...they never carry it all out.

Perhaps the real plan is to slam 80% tax on them together with minor legislation for quality, and then we'll accept it easier because we're relieved they aren't banning them! :unsure: Whatever the plans are, I don't think they listen to us that much.

I'd love to see a proper televised debate between the politicians and EU lawmakers, and professionals from science, medicine and also the electronics industry. The one side could put forward their argument to legislate or ban, and the others could set their 'misconceptions' straight, and put forward counter-argument of the benefits and minimal risks both from a health point of view and that of savings to the NHS.
An audience would help too ...perhaps a form of 'Question Time'! BBC would never stick it's neck out that far though.

There are none so blind as those who will not see

That is the problem in a nutshell, I reckon it's going to take some celebrity vaper on say the Johnathon Ross Show to get something going
Couldn't you have a word with your agent to get you a spot on one of the arts programmes ? :laugh:

No, I don't do commercial work requiring a licensing agent any more, and in any case, it's not someone like me that's needed, nor the galleries that I work with - it's an organised body of recognised professionals in the fields of medicine, science and electronics that are needed. They'd need to be able to give accurate statistics, data and safety specs. Statistics that include risk, lives saved and savings to the NHS vs. the loss in revenue to the treasury. Irrefutable hard facts presented in a direct challenge to opposing bureaucratic views.
In any case, both on radio and in front of TV camera's and any form of media, I crumble! :facepalm:

We all know that anyone who has smoked for a considerable time/amount is always at risk from smoking related diseases, no matter when they quit, but the more people proving the efficacy and safety over the long-term will result in more people taking to this method over smoking. They need to let it run it's course ...if it's proved bad in some way, then we've been the forerunners, the pioneers who can perhaps help form a better produce ...we don't know, because the way things are going, the baby will be thrown out with the bathwater and we'll never know the full picture - which in all likelihood would be a very favourable one.

I've just ordered a couple of them gs air-m attys. At that price they can be put away as spares for the istick 20. Thanks for the link. Any advice on coils for them?
I've got some from FT but not used them yet, but so far I've used some from here:https://www.elegantvapour.co.uk/ and also from here:GS Air coil which was the first place I found them in stock. The coils from both have been 100% good so far.
