Am I wrong on tanks? I use my nautilus Mini constantly. I would use my GS-Airs if the Mini was in hospital for some reason. That's it. I also have a stock of 510 attys to use on tiny ego-style batteries at airports. That really is it. I don't want to chase clouds and am a simple tootle-puffer. Am I wrong, and if so, why?

If it works for you that's all that matters...

and then look at how I am going to fix some proper curtains/blinds, was thinking vertical blinds, but not sure how they fix to the uPVC, don't know if there are people who sell and install them, me not a DIY man and not in my condition anyway.
I second the suggestion for Hillary's - they have reps in most areas and they come with samples etc. and arrange fitting too, and it doesn't take long. You've probably seen that they do venetian, vertical, roller, roman and shutters.

If you're not going to be using net, you won't need to know about Net Curtains Made To Measure - Woodyatt (used to be nets to go) We have the plain voile with weighted base half way down from the top on the front downstairs windows - very cheap, made ready to hang, and they sell the rods etc. too. I replace them perhaps every 8-10 years because they do stay looking good for a long while ...due for new ones right now actually :)

No, nothing wrong at all - I have the Nautilus mini's (bit out of favour at the moment as I had some poor coils), eMOW standard and mega, two Subtanks, a couple of Eleaf Air M, and also some Evods because they work well, and are pretty good with the new SOCC coils - I use one all the time for the Mint Choc Vapetto because it can gunk other coils up fast, but these last me around 6 days.
I use all my tanks on either mods, or the batteries such as iPOW, Spinner etc. and never use sub-ohm coils - 1.2 is the minimum I use.
I'm yet to try the Triton I just got, but I bought the 1.8 coils for that! :)

If I go out, I either take a neat iStick 10W with an Evod tank or an iPOW with an Evod or MOW tank ....and I still have a couple of cig-size batteries with some VG cartridges for any need of stealth! ;)

My 'stash' includes a fair number of Evod tanks and coils.

If you're not going to be using net
Apart from the kitchen which we only ever have nets up in, I will only be using up my supply of nets to give us some privacy whilst we get the blinds, that's why I was thinking of the sprung-loaded telescopic rods for them, don't think the are very expensive, and they just sit in the recess.

Yes, those rods are great - that same company sell a nice sturdy version of those too, and no, they aren't expensive.
At least your windows etc. are done now!
Perhaps you need a few bits of laminated MDF to build a new 'office' like those fitted ones that we used to see advertised in the Sunday papers supplements? ;)

I was seriously thinking of getting a built in large cupboard instead of the 5 drawer Victorian chest I have in here, but perhaps if I have a serious clear out, I may not need to do that! It's just a case of time and motivation! ...one of those 'where do I start' things!
A couple of months ago, I managed to clean out & tidy half of the double office cupboard I have, but never got back to the rest of it yet!

I also did a sort of double take at FT's new arrivals today. "Wait a minute is that.... oh yes it is. Jolly good."

Tried using the rubber fill port plug on a lemo drop I rebuilt and rewicked today. It affects the airflow very slightly I think, makes it feel a tiny bit tighter which is a shame as the original lemos have just about the perfect airflow for me on a tank (when fully open). Been rebuilding all my lemos (lemo, lemo drop and lemo 2) as I think I've perfected my favoured build/wicking on them. 25ga kanthal spaced out coils, making sure the wraps are quite spaced out.

Also that Boots Glycerin (£1.39 for 200ml) seems fine. Can't tell the difference between it and the VG I used to get from chefs in my mixes. Even tried dripping them both on an RDA without any flavouring and couldn't tell the difference. Also mixed half/half of them in a bottle to see if the viscosity (thickness) was any different and no swirly effects that you get with mixing different viscosity liquids were apparent. So identical as far as I can tell. Promptly bought two more bottles from me local boots.

? ...nope ...what did Rhubarb & Custard do :laugh:
:laugh: It was a cartoon, in the late 60`s early 70`s Trish about a dog and a cat. The dog was always making something. :laugh:

In other news, that bloody subby base from FT is dead. Tried firing it with a RBA plus stock coil, ` check atomizer` tried it with a Ni build, `no atomizer. Put the Ni deck on my broken base, and it works fine. So i am running one of the new RBA`s on my broken base, and my first thoughts were not good. I found the vape very very hot with a 0.17 coil.
I am going to try it again later, and it may be better when it hs rested for a while.
Not happy about the base though.

I got mail:
Two nice straight drip tips from Mr EVL! :) One is a deep blue & sky/turquoise, the other a very subtly mottled rich purple. Just what I asked for, and very pleased with them.
I think I need a red one next! :facepalm:

Looking at tracking, my TC iStick arrived at Heathrow on 4th ...hope it moves on soon!

Hit the 510 pin on the table and try it Tel.
Not saying it will work but read it on another forum the other night.
