I read the EU directive and it doesn't come into force until July so you should be ok. It was going to be earlier but they extended it to give businesses more time to adjust....that's my understanding anyway....it's a long document as is any EU directive

When the directive comes 100% of the packages from China will have to pay the tax but even before that we already had problems with the taxes.

It was more like a ''lottery'' type of situation,if your package got chosen in Customs you got the dreaded letter which meant i had to go to the post office to pay the tax so i could get my package.
Happened twice with 2 giveaways,thankfully they weren't anything i was going to really use (pod devices) so it was ok,but this time yeah if i get the letter i have to pay so it's just a matter of chance really.

WoW x3 a week is still quite a toll on your pops eh, easy does it. A toll on you both of course, how does Pops get there? You? It's hard work I know, with our without help. I know, I nursed both mum and dad through cancer until passing, was hard work...Horiffic really, honestly...
But One Day at a Time we do it, like you I went and lived with them, quite honestly I'e never been the same since, However I would do it again if I had to!

Heck 10mins on that exercise bike for a man of that age, with his health history is bloody fantastic. Flipping heck that's amazing. Seriously damn great.

Anyway Budd I know you have had your own serious health battles, really hope you are doing ok, Hey I have A H Hernia, had the camera down the throat thing, no worries. Drived myself there and back, no drugs but they sprayed a yummy tasting numbing spray down my throat first (was yum... think of your best Pina Colada vape LOL) and was fine. You will be ok. The thought of it is far worse than the procedure.

I think I've mentioned b4 my grandmother was Spanish, from Barcelona, I have visited there often and every time I arrive I feel a special feeling like...I'm home.One of my daughters teaches Spanish at NZ Uni, other daughter teaches Spanish at primary school.

I'm hard out KIWI....rugby and water sports are my religion , my dad was a rugby union and rugby league player and later coach.after my divorce I took back my Spanish name and as said am hard out Kiwi, but...Barcelona and Valencia make me feel...I don't know, funny.

Blah blah,
OK Bud, take care, One Day at A Time.
Good luck with ALL eh!

OMG sorry it's a long post.
Sincerely...take care and yep I agree with your lotto plan, might buy x2 tickets Saturday, who knows, can't win without a ticket eh!
Boudica.

Thanks for the kind words buddy.

Talking about rugby i did dabble a bit in it,back in Highschool i played Football but the captain of the rugby team was a friend of mine so once in a while like once a month he would beg me to help him when someone got injured or couldn't make it to the game.

To be honest i had no idea what i was doing,the scrums were fun and since i was the only Spanish dude i got stuck kicking the ball a lot (even thou i suck at soccer) and it was a bit more painful than playing football.

No protections or anything but those rugby guys did hit hard,good thing about it is there wasn't any taunting back and forth...in football the opposite team was always saying stuff about my mother and her choice of profession which involved a miniskirt and a lot of hanging out at street corners

 

[Boudica]

Hey @Boudica Hope you're not from Papatoetoe...nasty tornado just ripped through there. Yep i'm still brewing them tobaccos. Go the Highlanders...sorry but I love an underdog.
Good to hear you again

Hi @Fredman1 , good to hear you are still brewing, good on you. No not Papatoetoe, that's South AK. I am North AK>Orewa Beach, however did have a nasty (weather wise) night before and in the am. No damage here thank goodness. Lost power for a bit but that's no biggie to me. So sad re the man who died down at AK container wharf.

My wee 6year old grandson was SUPPOSED to have his first club rugby game that am. I got up early and got all ready to go.... kick off 8am.....was cancelled. Bugger. He was so disappointed, all ready in his new outfit...brand new boots, wow the clean and SHINY sprigs, just about needed sunglasses on to look at them! LOL.
Nevermind, next weekend. He learned a life lesson, disappointment but was fine with it, wore the new boots all day and to bed that night ha ha.

Well you take care down there in Windy Wellington, the e bikes must be a help on those hills.

Took 2of my grandies down there recently, Te Papa etc, wonderfull, plus we went to Weta Workshop to see the Lord of the Rings inventions, again wonderfull and after went to a cafe close to there. Can't remember the name but I had THE BEST EVER black pudding n eggs for brekkie. And great coffee. Yum!

OK sorry re the rugby for you but obviously for me as an Aucklander...well what can I say eh!

OK, happy brewing, catch you later.

Oh this is too funny LOL.
Hey make no mistake, there IS taunting in rugby, argie bargie etc.And a bit o biff! My dad knew the father of a Kiwi Rugby legend, Sean Fitzpatrick and believe you me the things that were said on the paddock...like "OMG you mother taught me new tricks last night" etc, etc, etc. LOL
Yep no protection at all apart from a bit of strapping here and there.
I remember once dad took me to a ALL BLACK game and I saw Buck Shelford getting staples put in his much split apart head at half time. Then back on the paddock after half time so played the whole 80min game, head pouring with blood, wouldn't be allowed these days LOL.
Fast forward a few years later and watched on the telly the same poor bugger getting his goolies (testicles) ripped apart! Ouchie, ouchie.
One tough Kiwi, he actually lived until recently close to where I am and see him on his regular run.I always think of the goolie incident tho !

 

[Javichu]

Glad to see you got some good new vape gear.

Btw, do you normally have to pay custom taxes?

 

[Javichu]

Well so far not so good...

Trying to get the coil primed on the Juggy Mini and meh,using 0.21 ohm coils and they were reading at 0.8 or 0.9 even 0.7 ohm a couple a times and i got the ''low atomizer'' warning on the screen of my Colossus.

Fiddled and wiggled,made sure the 510 was tight and kept on seeing if i could get it to read properly.

Mod was getting a bit warm so i let it rest and tried again and now its reading at 0.18ohm or 0.17ohm,not perfect but closer to the 0.21ohm it should be reading.

Been using it for a while and its ok...i guess,still nothing like the Juggy MR i loved so much.

Still got to get the Dvarw DL up and running,gotta watch the videos again since there is so much to do to get it set up.

Before the new EU law it was like a lottery,if your package got chosen you were screwed and had to pay taxes.
Now with the new law ALL packages that come from outside of the EU will have to pay taxes plus a fee for taking care of the ''paperwork''.

If a company outside of the EU signs up and registers they can add the tax directly to the price of the item that you see on their website and then just receive it at home.
If they are not registered with the EU that means you will have to pay the tax+handling/paperwork fee if you want the post office to give you the package.

The Dvarws are super easy to use once you get the hang of it. Take it from me. I'm an idiot, and I can build on a Dvarw no problem.

What size coil and leg length on the Juggy Mnin?
I think I used 3mm diameter but will have to look. The mini tastes like the MR as the deck/dome are the same I believe. I will have to get mine out to look.

 

[FranC]

Hello Fran and thanks for the reply. Yes I knew Anna was banned and was having troubles with the work scenario, so happy she is doing her own thing. If you still have contact with her, please pass on my very best wishes, I miss her, hope she was able to buy a home and is happy in it and has settled into life in WV .From West USA to the East eh. I think you both must be in the same time zone now?

Anyway, hope you are good too, madly mixing up amazing flavours I'm sure.... OK stay well, enjoy that mixing, Boudica.

I hope you are doing well also. Anna and I stay in touch and we are in the same time zone now.

I fed my cats raw for a while. The recipe I followed was pretty similar to the one here.

I found this one Zazie doing a Google search. Did you have a grinder for the bones? Also did you notice healthier cats because of it?

 

[chanelvaps]

Yeah plz do some research Sue. I'm very confident it will make a big difference for Joe. It sounds complicated at first, but is actually very simple once you get started. I buy online here in NZ from these people
http://www.rawessentials.co.nz/
and from my pet shop. I'm sure you'll find something similar online near you.
Boy oh Boy, I remember when we just started out. It was all consuming. We prepared a few weeks food all by hand in the kitchen...raw meats, organs and shyte all over. Nah I won't go down that route again. It's soooo much easier getting it from a place that specialize in it. I get the patties (bones and organs all minced up) and fill a tray in the freezer...make up some vegetables for a week, and it's easy from there on. I also don't use beef, lamb or chicken. Only rabbit/hare, possum, wild goat, venison and the like. 2% of their body weight is the portion.
Interesting, since they eat this way, they hardly drink water anymore..they obviously get enough moisture from the diet. Their skin problems (the big dog itched terribly when she was on kibble) are gone. Stools are way smaller..and hardly any smell. I can see by their general demeanor how much good this food is doing them.
Just fed them now...

this post definitely makes it seem like it could be a reality. When I googled it and found that buying a large grinder was a necessity, I sort of tuned out. Living in a rural area, an area that has shops that cater to hunters, I bet I can find my ingredients easy enough. I will be PM'ing you for more info as soon as I can get to this.

To be honest i had no idea what i was doing,the scrums were fun and since i was the only Spanish dude i got stuck kicking the ball a lot (even thou i suck at soccer) and it was a bit more painful than playing football.

I thought to you guys across the pond soccer was called football.

I think I used 3mm diameter but will have to look. The mini tastes like the MR as the deck/dome are the same I believe. I will have to get mine out to look.

Using these coils:

$2.99 Ni80 Tri-Core Fused Clapton Wire - authentic Coilology / 10pcs/pack / 26*3/36 AWG / 0.4mm*3/0.12mm dia. / 0.21ohm at FastTech - Free Shipping

Seems now they stabalised at 0.18 ohms so thats cool.
Length wise i used one of those measure cutting tools and cut it at 4,coil placement i think is ok,i used the Juggy MR for a while so i got used to putting the coils and wicking.

$7.22 Replacement Tank Kit for Dvarw DL V3 RTA Atomizer - 6ml at FastTech - Free Shipping

^^ That right there,is it just a replacement or does it work for filling from the top? ordered it so long ago i can't remember.

I thought to you guys across the pond soccer was called football.

Oh yeah here in Spain we call Futbol,but in English speaking countries they call Football,think the Brits also call it footy.
Second football i used in what you quoted means actual American football,not soccer

 

[Zazie]

I found this one Zazie doing a Google search. Did you have a grinder for the bones? Also did you notice healthier cats because of it?

Yup, a Sam Baere SB-500. It did the job well.

As for the cats' health, I didn't notice any dramatic changes, but they were already healthy as can be, so any improvements would have been invisible to the naked eye. The theory behind the diet made good sense to me, though, and I have little doubt it was better for them than commercial food. I felt quite guilty when I gave up on it.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

it's just_ you knwo_ you know_ it's like a whole new door
i get one and then i'd want two tanksm one's gotta be a dwarv and be a mess to find one so late in the game and then i'd want a backup mod and then a back up of the loverer tank

and with the comparable total size and how happy i am with pulse, i know, know, this is pure shiniyitis not a practical issue and yes practicality is the death of culture and efficiency the scourge of civilization and in this context this would be the poetry and i should probably not go on coz i started against and seem to be convincing myself of the merit so GOWAYGOWAYGOWAYGOWAYGOWAY

That sounds like a fancy way of sayin' a SbS is in your future.

So which one you gonna get?

 

[Opinionated]

I don't have her just yet, I ordered the kit from Sourcemore a few days ago. It's still on pre-order

I'm not sure you can comment on the hand feel of a mod you've never held... haha haha

Your so silly... but your right, the Brunhilde does look like a nice SBS..

Good morning Everyone
