I am currently blasting away on the VF Mini, and although it performs great, there is something annoying me. With every puff i get an intermittent sort of noise, like wa wa wa wa wa, coming from the attie. Never come across this sort of thing before, so i`m clueless.

Sounds like PWM (Power Width Modulation) what resistance, temp and wattage you got it set to, I'm using a nautilus Mini 0.3 ohm, 450°F @ 50W and not getting that

Oh no! Don't tell me it's playing Chinese hip-hop or whatever!

or maybe it's not a big seller, even though we like it, and they want to get rid of stock that might be a couple of months old.

I've always thought it was a strong seller, but you could be right - I may have to ask them to satisfy my curiosity ..seeing it's one of my every day ones!

Well done Bob. How long have you been vaping for then because your like Obi wan kenobie with all your experience and knowledge

It's written in the stars ...sorry, the banner

Didn't the American FDA have to get rid of some of it's advisers because they were being paid by the BigPharma

You could be right ...I seem to have read all sorts of stuff, some confusing, some alarming! ....hmm - how did they 'get rid' of them

 

[Bobw1951]

Think it can't have been a Shiba Inu - they're supposedly the smallest, and my Dads German Spitz was pretty small herself.
Our standard is big: 34Kg and quite tall - gentle as a lamb ...but got big teef!

Yes this one was a bit like that tall and gentle, although I was told not to touch him on the top of the head.

Well that's a blatant lie for a kick off [June 27, 2009]

Presume as they were only advisers, they just stopped using them - just remember reading it in one of the things that came out a few months back.

50w 400f Bob, 0.17 coil.

It was your banner I was referring to.
June 2009 is when I joined ECF to read about e-cigs, and decided that perhaps one day I'd try them.
Didn't think about them too much until December 2013 when I put one in my online shopping basket for when I was going to the doctor/nurse for my BP check. I forgot I had it until January 2014, used it for my next BP check, found I hadn't smoked for 5 hours by the time I thought about it, and within 2 weeks stopped altogether on Jan 28th - and the rest is history ...hence the note under my banner

Oh ..so no concrete shoes then
- unbelievable after all the hard work with research and written papers produced, that the government can dare to ignore our eminent physicians and scientists - such an insult.

They're only as dangerous as the owner trains them to be, if they are kept as a pet and treated properly, then no problem, if they are kept as a guard/protective dog then they should be kept on a strong lead at all times as they could possibly pose a threat to other people, the problems come when idiots get them as guard/protective/attack dogs and let them run free.

In the pre-privatisation, when we had the older stock, all guard dogs & greyhounds had to be kept tied up in the luggage van and were not allowed in the passenger parts of the train, unless it was a Police dog in the execution of his duty, even after that, we used to have a BTp copper travel with his Alsation at the back of the train near us so that the dog was not near the passengers.

Oooh No Trisha, It`s much more better than that.

Try upping the temp, think it uses PWM when Temp limiting

She's a cracker Bob with her temperament,no nastiness in her the only thing is she don't like being on a lead.its not much of a problem where I live as there's mountains for her to run

Got a cockerel waking me up every morning at daybreak and a donkey hee hawing the rest of the day.Its great I love it don't think I would ever move from sunny Cwm

I know, just kidding, but I started dual fuelling in January about a month before I smoked my last ciggy which was 08:00 on Feb 28 and I think this was the last of the 4 main forums that I joined at the time.

I think most dogs don't like seeing a strangers hand disappear over their eyes to do goodness knows what, and while it's perhaps not too dodgy with a smaller dog, those with big teeth and powerful jaws are best given a little wary respect
Our big one is very wary of strangers if they go to touch her when she's out - once she gets to know them though, she's delighted to see them. There's a lot of people carry Trebor mints or biscuits in their pocket for her!
She's not wary when she's in the house though - very loud barking at the window at the sight of anyone! I've seen burly delivery men virtually shaking in case she comes to answer the door with us

I did Bob, just before you posted this, It has stopped it a little, but it`s getting bloody hot 460f at the moment.

I'm off now, getting tired.

Probably because you've got 18mg 50/50 or higher PG in it knowing you...

Doesn't seem that long ago really - I'm still a bit in awe of the effectiveness of these things!
I wouldn't go anywhere in case I was deprived of my cigarettes! - seems we may be going to get a similar experience with these, but at least we can be sneaky with them as long as we use something less effusive with vapour and smell!

...my desk was a heck of a lot tidier when I smoked ..even if there was a fair bit of ash here and there! I must get these little bottles tasted and either set aside for further tasting or put in a permanent home (box). Plus, I still have the Subox and Kangxin sat looking at me ready to try out!

Definitely more interesting than smoking though! ...and not as isolated ...got some nice friends

EDIT: now at 480f, and it has very nearly stopped, but much shorter blasts because of the heat.

Oh well then ..in that case!

That sounds absolute bliss! I'd love to live somewhere like that, or even close to the sea - our plan was to move to Oban, but getting older and realising that the nearest proper hospital was 3 hours away really put us off ...that and someone we know moving back down to the south after thinking they'd settled for good - she was a night care nurse at weekends, and she was appalled at the elderly care standards in Scotland compared to where she'd been used to (Hampshire) - put us off.

I'm off now, getting tired.

Nite Bob!
