So sad to hear about Rob. We had our difference of opinion but all things considered he's a good guy. It's ruining my day so far thinking about it...especially him and that beautiful boy being so close. Yeah life is so short people. We need to make every opportunity count. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.


LOL I considering it. Even had a look at some, but that damn dog is 40kg...and little one has a mind of her own. And I have to carry the granny bags on the rear carrier...:lol:We'll see going forward.
How about a room with a view for him?

    Did the ribbon wrap give you any grief with your wicking being pulled through?

    Nope, I didn't think about problems with wicking it - but it handled my usual rough pulling and tugging a piece of cake.

    If you've got ribbon wire lying around, it's definitely worth trying a tiger coil for something different. I went small as I wanted to use it at around 25-30 watts - which this 0.5*0.1mm/28g is perfect for.

    And I also did a low twist rate, I'll add more revolutions next time.

    It certainly didn't get as hot chainvaping as a clapton does, but flavour-wise it's a smidge below a fused clapton coil. It does have better flavour than my usual 0.5*0.2mm flat wire, though - so it may find itself into a Dvarw very soon :thumbs:

    Here's another pic of the wraps, excuse my crappy fone camera

    Discovered another benefit of vaping yesterday....

    While at the Dr, the nurse gave me a booster tetanus jab. After I took off my jacket she said "Oh you smell nice!" As I'd come straight from work, and if anything should've smelt like crap, literally - I was puzzled. I then remembered I'd chain vaped caramel ice cream all the way there :D

    Oh and @Cloud-FF7 I still didn't get a kiss on the cheek :grr:

    From @Daniel Forsyth and myself:

    We have some bad news about @Rob B. which he said was ok to share you all.

    Rob knows his friends on ECF have been concerned about his recent absence. In an email exchange with Dan and I he shared the following news-

    After a period of bad headaches over the last couple of months, Rob's doctors discovered an inoperable brain tumor.

    In his words "the prognosis sucks".

    The details of Rob's path going forward are private but I'm sure we all wish him the best. In his email he said the following:

    I truly appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers, and wishes, but I don't have the energy or emotions to deal with this. I have greatly enjoyed my time at ecf, and I wish you all and your families, long, safe, and healthy lives. ❤


    Oh no. I'm so terribly sorry to hear this.... Thanks Pigzy for letting us know. If you get a chance, please, please let him know that he's in our thoughts and prayers.

    Epic. On another note if you go to pretty much any Spanish country the kiss on the cheek is a standard costume of greeting but mostly between people you know. Imagine an extended family reunion of 50+ :lol: It takes awhile to greet everyone :rolleyes:

    Your phone camera does pretty good. I took your pic and zoomed in and that was the reason for my question. It looked like the edges of the ribbon would catch the wicking. I do have some flat wire and I'll have to try a tiger wire. Thanks for the info

    I too have Colossals that I haven't tried! Hope I like them! What and where is best suggestion to purchase batteries? Are certain ones better as far as fit?

    Mooch recommended:

    18650batterystore.com
    illumn.com
    imrbatteries.com
    lionwholesale.com
    orbtronic.com
    rtdvapor.com

    I think that chocolate LGs are a touch fatter, but they all fit, albeit tightly (in the Colossals).

    "Ayer me dijeron que voy a perder mi trabajo de 11 años, hmm desde el proximo Jueves o Viernes van a cerrar la sede aqui, nada que yo pueda hacer al respecto pero asi es la vida o como dijo mi padre cuando una puerta se cierra otra se abre"

    So sorry to hear that. In my family, we say that every defeat, albeit unpleasant, always creates a new opportunity. And may bring a change for the better. Good luck! :wub:

    Not mod related but interesting, a local shop has informed us they are going to start using synthetic nic to make their juice..What do y'all think about this safety wise ?

    I've read a lot about it. No worries about safety or efficacy, only about the price. A nicotine molecule is a nicotine molecule.
