As we were talking about batteries on FT the other day. Today is another good example of bs batteries. They've listed an 18350 at 30 amps. What a load of rubbish.

One of the reasons I am wary of Batteries from FT - in fact those AWT 2600mAh ones that George and I got are actually not quite as good as the 2500mAh ones but are rated higher Amps

They keep listing them as 'authentic' -----whatever, and I've never heard of the brands!

When I buy batteries, I pass it through this rubbish detector first ;)
:laugh: they are "Authentic" to that company who has bought them from the real makers and then re-wrapped them, the only true makers are LG, Panasonic, Samsung & Sony, maybe one or 2 others, their grade A batteries get put into their components like original laptop batteries, some will be wrapped and sold as their own like the He2s, VTCs and R25s, their grade B will also end up being wrapped and sold by them, the grade C will be bought by people like Torchy and Andy Wan re-wrapped and sold as their own, all the rest will be bought by inscrutable dealers who will re-wrap them and pretend they are something they are not

Yes, was having a hunt around last night, trouble is finding one that doesn't say 600 days and $, you obviously rolled your own looking at the savings.
Yes i rolled my own for around the last ten years of smoking Bob. my banner should be a lot higher than it is, because before roll up`s i used to smoke superkings black ( 20/30 a day ) but there is no way i am working it out. :laugh:

So, in a nutshell: totally misleading! :(

We used to smoke those until they got too expensive, then we switched to Sterling SK, still get those when I go over to the continent for the missus though

Oh! Just saw this on AAEC:
At the moment CHEFSATVAPEFEST gives 20% off, just for this weekend, minimum spend of £10

Apparently, from FB:
Lewis Barnett

It's officially 2 weeks until we leave for UK VapeFest!!!

Not gonna lie, I'm a little bit excited! We've got stuff for the goodie bags arriving, juice is being made and bottled, the Tshirts are here, the van is booked, although at this rate we made need 2!
grin emoticon

So to celebrate the 2 week countdown here is a 20% discount code to use over the weekend.

Put CHEFSATVAPEFEST in the box to claim your 20% (min. spend £10)

Happy Vaping!!!

My mate phoned me this morning about the Leak. Said he can do it monday afternoon :) Then he said he will pop round now, to have a look. Put me a new flexi hose on to stop the leak, and will replace the Tap on monday. 70 Quid the lot, very pleased with that.:thumb:

Nice! Always good when they leave quickly.
I tend to put things in the basket until I'm ready to order, and then anything not in stock or next day, I remove to the wish list, place the order and then put the longer wait ones back in the basket.

Had one item go out of stock after placing such an order a few weeks ago, but when requested, they substituted it for a variation of the same and despatched the order. (Offered to cancel the item too if I preferred).

Some of you will recall that a year or so ago, I was getting problems with certain custards/vanillas making my gums bleed, much in the same way as too much PG can.

I've been using a mix of roughly 40% Beard #88 (80VG), 40% Bowden's Mate (50VG), & 20% Admirals Res. Good Cookie (77VG) - get a nice, not too sweet minty chocolate cookie because the Bowden's has mint very forward.

No way is there too much PG in that mix, yet it's begun to make my gums bleed, so a custard/vanilla has to be the cause! I'm pretty sure the culprit has to be Bowden's Mate! I'll keep using it but cut it's percentage down to 25% and see if it makes a difference.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Another liquid observation: I've been getting Doughnut gunk the coils up faster with my recent 100mls - blamed a bad batch of Subtank OCC coils, but when I started using a new pack from another supplier bought weeks apart, they're the same after using two of those.
Perhaps a bad batch of coils and I've ended up with more than one pack of them?

I watched a couple of reviews on the Goblin George, and if built correctly they look pretty damn good.
