Very kind of you. I was trying to remember where I’d seen them pretty cheap recently. I know a couple of people posted about it. After all, tomorrow is payday, and I have two large jars of Jif. I’m ready to shop.

(I jest, I can afford food)

Oh, and a FT package came yesterday, just some spare Topside bottles. But stuff is shipping, so that’s cool. I don’t live that they have proprietary bottles, but I will say they are top notch bottles. Seem like they’ll last a good long time. And they clean up great. Some of my juice is impossible to get the flavor and smell out of silicone. All these require is a quick wash, and they’re good as new.

Update: I don’t know why I missed them yesterday but I found them.

I tried looking for spare Topside bottles on FT but couldn’t find them. Do you have a link or what search words you used? Thanks

I agree - the topside bottles do feel well made. Interesting that some silicon squonk bottles retain smell/colour of some juices. I really hate that yellowed look. I wonder if anybody here has a good cleaning system? I just use warm water and dishwashing detergent but it doesn't always work 100 percent.
You could try lemon juice. I used it to clean a lot of things when I was working in kitchens. Worked great for getting smells off my hands as well.

My heart goes out to all Australians who vape
All is not lost :)

The problem is we have a Health Minister, which is an oxymoron (for a .....), who part of a Government that bangs on about getting the budget into surplus like its the only thing that matters. Vaping has dropped the extortionate cigarette tax revenue(a pack of cigarettes is now, for 20, $25+). To top off them trying to ban nicotine and force people back to paying for their surplus, they now full well the lower socio-economic sector are the ones who smoke and who can least afford it. And of course any other choice of government who would raise an issue is seen as "wanting to recklessly handle the economy" and not get the budget back into surplus. Which reinforces my central question, why do we have a government if it doesnt act in our best interests.

So anyways, the ..... Heath Monster will be getting all his ducks in order and getting his Border Force looking for anything that *might* be nicotine, labelling it VG/PG or anything else to try and disguise wont get past his SS guards...at least not for long

We need to get rod of the current government, but our choices for an alternate arent great, while we have a bunch of old white men who's policies havent progressed form the 1950's, think climate change isnt real; and think the earth is flat, the alternates are madder than a cut snake. One of them who spoke out against the ban was the numtpy who asserts climate change isnt real and in the past said that NASA faked all the photographs and data it was using to show climate change were fake, just as fake as the moon landing. It was priceless the night he and Brian Cox were on the same panel show, Cox kept hiding facepalming all night at this pillocks stupidity. Then we have the greens who want to give kiddies access to all drugs 24.7 and live on hemp seed. These are our alternate choices. The Labor party, who just lost the unloseable election last year arent wiling to stick their necks out because its a long wait until the next election for them.

So, clearly, we're fudged....

I think you are being overly pessimistic..... remember it may never happen. I would just go for the mislabeling....they can't open every package...too many of them :)

Good luck :)

Sippy Cups!


Just in case you dont get the reference...

At home in Australia i like to give forms of vaping and gear i dont do and use and think are an affront against the vape gods, my own names. At least i like to think i came up with them first....

Heres a quick equivalency guide:

Squonk Mods = Sippy Cups, like a babies sippy cup or first cup, because you can only get a limited amount of liquid through them at a time, sip sip....

Squonk Mod Users = Sippy Cupists or Gravity Deniers. I beleive in RTA's alone, which harness the power of non-heretical gravity to feed juice to your coil. Anyone wetting their wick any other way is a necromancer and should be subjected to physical trials to prove they are not aligned with satan

Billet Boxes = Fairy Boxes (because as i like to say, they must work by magic, because i dont understand by looking at them how they can function otherwise). Usually meant as less of a slight than calling a squonker a sippy cup, mainly as i know a lovely lady who plays with resin and makes panels for them, well you just cant be anything but reverent to because shes so nice, hence no name for the user of a Fairy Box.

Tube Mods = Plumbers Offcuts, particularly best used amongst the Provarinati. Can you believe they at times used to like me when id come over here and make fun of their plumbers offcuts. They seemed to feed on my hatred, you cant really upset them, theyre more immune to barbs than Apple Sheeple....theyre weird, theyre a cult, but you already know that....

Mech Mods = Pipebombs. Nothing else need be said.

Any mod over 100w = Hand Cannon (slightly better than a pipe bomb). Not a fan of 200W+ mods being marketed at newbies over the last few years and them thinking thats normal and where we all vape. Luckily we get most of them to read/see and heed Mooches stuff on battery safety, so the number of fingers blown off stays at a minimum.

Two things about lemon juice... first, it’s a lot more expensive than vinegar, and second, it works much better with direct sunlight, where vinegar works on its own.

I clean a lot with vinegar though, so I always have a gallon on hand. I’d use lemon juice if that’s what I had.

The first things we bought for our IP were these along with the glass lid. Pondering a second IP as they are absolutely amazing! ;)

I haven’t needed to replace a ring yet, but I do have spares. I got the glass lids, a steamer basket, a spring form pan for cheese cake, the stacking pans for PIP... talk about a rabbit hole!

I have the 8qt and the 3qt. Definitely worth having both. I saved enough money just making my own yogurt to pay them both off in less than a year, and all the little goodies too.

Awesome! I think a 3qt will be our next one for sure.

Are you on any of the Facebook IP groups? There are some seriously dense people out there. :eek: :lol:

I’m in 3 of them. Agree, some really thick people lol. Did you ever see a post where everyone shows off the IP they melted on the stove top? They used to do them once a week. But still, all week long, you’d see pictures of people leaving them on the stove... and sure as shootin’ those same folks would be posting a picture the next time around.

I had to block everyone who asked what a water test was. I mean, first thing in the manual!
