What's new with the Aromamizer Terry? Tried any different builds.
Nothing really George ! I`m going to re-do one tomorrow though. I`m just finding my liquids a tad harsh whatever build i put in. Ive just put a chefs order in for some more PG/VG, and got 30 ml of QOP`s @ 6 mg. If the harshness disappears using 6 mg, then i will stay with that strength :)

I'm only using one at the moment.Pulled the Claptons out and went for dual Ni.I think it gives a nicer vape.
I'll use the Clapton wire in an rda.
And i'll try a standard kanthal build in the other.Have a good play, before i settle.

As a side note George, i don`t get any harshness with 12 mg in my other tanks !

Me neither Terry,i use 12mg in all my other rta's (except sub ohm tanks.)
But i think the aromamizer is, as good as damn it, a dripper with a tank on.Could be the difference.
Think i've settled on 6mg for that one.

Yes i know what you mean George, i don`t mind dropping to 6 mg if that is the case :) i will wait for the ready made to arrive, and if that is ok, i can make some batches up myself. Failing that, i haven`t tried Ni200 yet in these tanks, and it will be interesting to see if the harshness disappears using that.

There seems to be a distinct lack of Christmas offers on this year.
I was wondering if,as the number of people vaping goes up,the vendors have to make less of an effort.
Perhaps Black Friday took up too much of their discount 'allowances'.
I have wondered at times if they are making the most of things while they can, just in case it becomes difficult with some items.

Or maybe they are not stocking up as much as they used to for fear of the TPD and ending up with something they can't sell, although I think they have up to a year to dispose of "grandfather" stock, and another thing Prices have been rising a bit in China, some items are nearly the same price these days.
I've certainly noticed the prices of ready to use liquids rise considerably this past year!

Pleased he has helped you out Sue, It`s hard being skint, any time of the year ! :)
It was sat in a box doing nothing, it was a SMOK M80, their first attempt at TC which was a total failure, but is still okay for Kanthal built tanks and goes up to 80w so I thought why not, someone sent me something for nothing the other day.

For some companies, that may be down to the extra costs of reformulating them, and having to get rid of old stock, also bottle sizes have increased as well, we used to only get them in 10mls, nowadays it's 15,30,50 etc

That`s the way to go Bob :) If we can`t help people in need, it`s time to give in IMO.

Yes, probably right - and those who test them will have had high costs for that alone.
I have seen more companies only offer 30ml sizes, and that puts me off when it's something I've never used.

Yeah it is.
Nov/Dec/Jan are the times I'm skint.
I have a direct debit on Christmas eve and one on Christmas day so I have to prioritise my money so my bills have to come first before vape gear.

Roll on February :D

If that was 70% VG I'd be tempted to try it :)

I missed that ...what was the gist of it?

It's good to see that the Drip range is expanding ..may get some of the Victoria Sandwich & Summer Pudding ...not sure about the Sherry Trifle - wonder if it'll be very similar to Chefs English Trifle.

Really glad you've found an improvement! :)

You do need to do as instructed this time! :) I was given some pretty firm instructions about weeks of total rest and no work past emails/phone calls! Very unlike me to not try to push forward with recovery from anything, but having been so ill, I was happy to comply this time as I truly have been horrified at the thought of it coming back.
Biggest problems I've had once the steroids started working has been side effects - not surprised you hate steroids! Side effects that are quite debilitating and then withdrawal effects together with new side effects from the replacement drug!

Started to have breathing problems with the new drug, and saw my GP doctor today. She asked how I felt about not taking the drug for 4 days, and I told her, first sign of any problem and I'll take one! She was happy with that response, so told me to go ahead with caution, and she'd get in touch with my consultant in the meanwhile to get his input.
I hadn't taken the morning tablet in anticipation of this, and was able to climb the staircase to her office - still a bit out of breath but not as bad the previous day when climbing the stairs had me sitting down for a few minutes!
As you'd imagine, here I am at the end of day one, and my antennae are working overtime for signs of dropping out of remission! I feel rather vulnerable!

I'm not surprised, and doubt you are either :laugh: Get a good stock of made coils before the next surgery.

Not my cup of tea, but sounds like your girlfriend will be pleased! :)

Hope she recovers quickly and is home as expected.
Natural to be jittery when a parent is in hospital/ill - my husband was the worst for showing panic the night I was admitted ...sons kept it under wraps and only said how they'd felt once I was recovering :laugh:
I really hope the new year brings you improved health and a positive beginning. I'm sorry you're having so many troubles but we just stay positive and know it's temporary.

@ all thread members.

The government there are being far more reasonable the American government. What a shocker I know. Here everything is set to progress to require anyone in America selling anything to lay around $2m certification for each product. In a two year transition all vaping gear liquids etc since 20"7 would be taken off the market. Given big tobacco are the only one who could lay the fees involved with this new legislation it's quite clear the lobbying and allegiances lie with the money. Here the "sin" taxes are quite high comparatively so if they lose 10% of smokers that's a huge hit to tobacco but probably much larger to the fed. The taxes comprise 80% of the price of cigarettes. So the fed in their inevitable panic for revenue think relying on this certification is the best way to retain $. Since the two big tobacco agencies have started buying out the larger ecig makers they're retaining revenue. Along with outlawing anything uncertified and made after 2007, and getting certification fees, they will also be taxing vaping products just like cigarettes.

Here the argument mostly lies around under 18 gaining access. It's a shocker to me how many people want others to raise their children. When I was a child of my mother thought I was say. Smoking pot. Aside from being right she just tossed my room and I couldn't say anything about it. It's her house she can go through whatever she wants. But now everything is boo boo my kinda night be able to get blah blah blah. Frankly if they're doing that at least they aren't smoking. Which would be much worse. But people here don't get any of it. They don't get raising your own children. They don't get that big tobacco is behind the vaping reform as it's written because they're losing customers. None of it.

The parenting is as bad or worse I know in the uk. Despite living here now my entire family are there including s bunch of neices and nephews. I also try and keen up with the news. For example the absolute whinging about dr who. They were losing there about a character being killed off in a "gruesom" (t wasn't) way at 8:55 pm because it wasn't past nine. If you're really worried about your child being traumatized by dr who it may be time to accept they're 3 years old or accept the fact they need to learn a lot kore for their age. That show couldn't be farther from traumatizing. Though it is intended to scare kids Ina. Good way.


Anyway my point is until everyone starts taking responsibility for raising their own children and understand the bias intrinsic with funding in research the very few who know facts are going to be greatly out shouted by ignorance. Case in point the recent "expose" on diactyl which was actually sent in link to me by my mother who said after reading maybe the headline and one paragraph "vaping may be worse than smoking. You should stop"

At which point I linked back Dr Farsalinos and proper scientific study guidelines. As well as ingredient lists to main juices I vape. I think I overwhelmed her. But how. Any people read that with the same reaction. One badly researched article in a paper that gets picked up nationally creates 15% more people shouting for banning vaping. Forget that it's already saved a bunch of lives and prevented cancer. If one person my get popcorn lung we must ban it.

Politics in all personal choice are absolutely ridiculous. There nice said it!

Anyway a. I think based on what I see the English are pretty fortunate compared to many other places. For what it's worth.

Really thoughtful of you to say so - you have plenty of things to deal with yourself! I certainly wish you well for 30th, and a good recovery :)
Hope your Mum is OK now!

I'm trying to be positive at the moment ..feels like walking on cracked ice right now as I've been off the medication since Wednesday evening to see if the severe breathing problems go away. Consultant phoned yesterday and suggests I stay off it until he sees me 22 January, and to have a supply of emergency steroids to hand until then.
My doctor prescribed the steroids right away, so I have those, but reluctant to take them again - awful things, but at least they do work :( :laugh:
I see my doctor again on Monday so that she can check on me, so let's hope all is well.

Thanks for the good thoughts! :)
