Not nearly as bad as yours Trish.
Had a recorded message phone call from the Water board on Sat. evening to say work in progress because of a burst,water supply off. OK,i can live with that.
Didn't appreciate the second call to say they had turned the water back on 'tho. 7.30am Sunday :sleep:
Anything that disturbs your sleep like that isn't good! They should have sent a text/SMS message.

Works well Trish,locks on 40w on TC.
But if you use the TC, should be OK, as the chip will sort it for you,i think!
Good! Not in the mood for reading instructions and playing around with anything new at the moment - still got the torchy one to try yet :rolleyes:

Did i see the headlines right this morning,i was dashing out and can't find anything about it now.
£5 going on the price of cigs in order to fund cancer research???
Think it's the medical profession behind that - first paper says 'it should' ..second embellishes that with 'it could' - by the end of the week it'll be mandatory! :laugh::
Cigarettes should cost £15 a packet to prevent thousands of deaths, say leading medics - Mirror Online
A packet of cigarettes could rocket to £15 in the fight against cancer | Daily Mail Online

Think it'll happen Trish?
Unless they manage to eliminate cigarettes altogether, which is hugely unlikely, then I've no doubt the tax on them will creep up regularly - it seems to have gone up a fair bit in the time since we all stopped smoking!

As for a levy that is purely for cancer research or treatment, then I suppose it's not a totally ridiculous notion at perhaps 50p per packet ...but, who would police the collection and proper distribution of such moneys ...and who would decide which cancers are those directly caused by cigarette/tobacco smoking ? :rolleyes:
Unless it's just a notion put about in order to allow the government to start increasing the price rapidly, then I'd say it's dead in the water - at least in that context.

Where you looking Vapour Depot ?? £155 Pre-Order, but doesn't have a colour option

PS I will not be placing a pre-order for this - Cloudmaker can't even produce what we put our names down for nearly a year ago.

Don't think it's the same company Bob. That's Cloud control by Maker.

Cloudmakertech are in San Francisco.

Ah! okay thought it was the same company - think I will still wait for it to come out properly - seems a good idea in that most part are inter-changeable/upgradeable.

Must admit I'm getting fed of waiting for that other company though - it's been so long I can't even remember the name of the mod we were eyeing up :laugh:

That's the one "Storm Carrier" - have you seen his latest Vlog - he's packing in for now, may be back at some time in the future...

Although i don`t follow them sort of things, it does make you wonder doesn`t it. Just got bored with reviewing all the new stuff what comes onto the market, and get to keep the Items most of the time. Must be bloody hard work that o_O Most of them talk a load of crap anyway IMO :laugh:

I prefer a concise, written review :)

Don't buy many bottles but this place seemed quite reasonable to me...
They do seem to be good prices ..don't see any carriage charges or address/phone numbers though.

I just washed & dried a small bucketful of my chefs bottles in 100, 50 & 30mls a few days ago, so got plenty for now.
I use 50ml glass ones from Ideon for freezing nicotine - their shipping is very reasonable.

Before i bought the V1 lemo`s Trish i watched most of the reviews, and one in particular sticks in my mind. It was that Phil whasis name, banging on about how the fill screw let it down, and how it would be hard to fill a tank `Out in the field` :lol: must have been in the special forces at some point :laugh:
But seriously, not one reviewer of said tank knew there was a fill plug, which would have made it dead easy to fill while `Out In The field` :laugh:
All it takes is a little bit of Homework Trisha, and i think most of them aren`t worth their salt.:)

They probably get complacent and don't spend enough time actually exploring the item and any information available.
Then they waffle as much as they can in the hope it looks adequate, thus guaranteeing they get more stuff to review!

I do think the manufacturers should give more comprehensive information and instructions too.

I'm often surprised that things (not always Vape related) get into production when they have glaring design or performance faults. R&D obviously isn't as diligent as it used to be.

Exactly !! They get stuff for free to review, and it`s a case of okay lets get this tank coiled and wicked, then we will go back up top to gab on about it, with obviously not much knowledge of what they are gabbing about. Like you said a detailed written review is so much better.:)
I see Ian has Defected to UKV now :laugh:
