I'm still waiting on this @Skeebo to clarify his rant. I mean he skeebootched in here..a thread he never visits, beats his chest and pulled his hair about something nobody knows about and then skeedouch outa here, right back where he came from...weird. Maybe he had the wrong thread...or the fever 
Anyway...now I can carry on.

When addressed in this manner, why should I? I said what I said very clearly. If you want to continue to call out my name do so via PM, otherwise you are simply proving my point. I am not interested in fighting the cabal and listening to the excuses for bullish behavior.
THANKYOUVERYMUCH!
Be interested to see what you think of the Pulse 24. I bought mine when they first came out way back. It had really bad o ring tolerances - after a while I had to use plyers to remove the top cap. Same problem with the spare o rings
I’m in, as long as there’s pickles at the end of the tour!!!
Plus, you know my deep love for provaris
and i thought me out of my mind for entertaining the notion of ordering a mod so close to the fiyst.. gonna try and use you as an example of why i'm actually a prudent lad
ditto fiddless! tells us what gives us!
I feel kind of left out... I don’t have an ignore list (although I may be on a few, I suppose). I just skip over what I don’t want to read. I’m not going to agree with everyone else, nor they with me. No skin off my back to just pass over their posts.
Does anyone know of a fix for DT condensation on the dotaio? It’s not a lot, and I’ve seen others mention it. I assume it’s from using a different dt than the supplied ones ?

I think my list is comprised entirely of those mass spammers that show up, every now and then, and swamp the forum.
I don’t ignore people on general principle, just the ones that make it impossible to read the forum.

Don’t feel badly Mel I don’t have an ignore list here either. I just scroll past any posts I don’t want to read. Not a big deal for me.
I’ll be sure to post what I think of it. I’ve always had good luck with older RBAs so hopefully this one will work out as well.
God i can remember buying 2 bags of Muji cotton from the store in Sydney, more than you'd probably need in a lifetime, and then vaping it and it tasted like a tramps socks, I threwit all out, luckily it was cheap as chips
Koh Gen Do was also big at the time, and about a hairs width between them in quality and taste
Whne i got tipped off about Rayon, that was me. I stupidly gave all mine to my Provari loving mate silka i think when i gave up vaping for a period, but i found a bag of Cotton Bacon in the back of a drawer, so thats what im currently using. Rayon is not easy to get here or order in, so next chance i get, thats where my money is going. I only vape outside of home, so its not really that big a deal to use CB until its all gone....
And on the subject of food, i finally actually got some, so will live to see the weekend, and the best point, no humans were harmed
Full report below in the spoiler, so i dont monopolize the page, because its a long post with pics

Posted on my home forum...but pasting here for the hell of it
Good news, and no its not about the Dacea Sandero (only Top Gear nerds will get the reference)
I got some actual fudging food....
Stayed up all night and at 6:15 walked the 2km to the shopping centre
When i arrived around 30 minutes later there was something very much like an orderly line (in red), good i thought, they havent all descended to the level of dumb selfish impulsive beasts
I was just behind the guy with the trolley - he was the only one with a trolley at that point, then of course the eternally selfish started to appear and eschew the time honoured concept of an orderly line that speeds things up for everyone, no...the started to go left and right of the non-selfish, just as that started happening i took the happy snap. People then started bringing not only themselves but every fudging trolley they could find in the carpark and neighbouring streets with them to clog up the works and by 10 minutes later when the door was about to come up, they had truly managed to create chaos. Luckily the staff let in the people on mobility scooters first, and the lady marked by the number 1 was let through by the people in front of her in the pic, who were by then themselves surrounded, so some okay folks there, but dunno what was with this older mob, a lot of them should have behaved better.
So this photo is before the fudgery, i couldnt raise my arms to take one when the shizz really set in...
5 minutes before the doors came up the manager came out and said that the didnt have the inventory last night to restock, but that the shelves wouldnt be as full as we might like. He then pointed out that we were going to be doing better than the people coming later.
So i got in just carrying my bags, getting carded on entry (this was a special hour set aside for the elderly, people with disabilities and those at risk - had to show card proving you fitted one of the 3), because i knew i wasnt going to be in hoarder mode (and thats my top tip to avoid the trolley or die mob, you'll save time if you just carry bags) and headed for the bread aisle because even on my worst stomach day i can eat that and not suffer. But there was still not a slice on the shelves after yesterday and just as i was about to be not happy (and i was not looking to collect skulls today) a nice young shop assistant came around the corner and i pointed and said "okay, whats the score?" and she told me it was still on its way on a truck and would be there in 30 minutes max. Armed with this i went and grabbed the other items , well most of them, no chance with potatoes, i got there just as an old bloke snagged the last 3. But i did get most of what i was after
From my original list, giving me 4-5 days of food (stretchable to 7), items i got in bold
2 x decent loaves bread
6 potatoes
1 x frozen spinach
1 x 2 pack of microwave wholemeal rice actually got 2 - plenty of them
2 x tins of tuna no chance of tuna, but snagged 2 tins of boneless and skinless sardines (didnt know they existed but actually better than normal for my tum, so win, plus some kippers) (plenty of both)
1 x 4 chicken & vege pies (grabbed meat as well)
2 x 1 Lt bottles of high protein milk (only took 1)
2 x Arnotts Nice bikkies... (almost no biscuits, had to homebrand assorted cream it - this is like xmas to me, a once a year treat)
1 tub of margarine
1 jar of jam
Added some noodles because tonnes of them, and even i can eat these if people descended even further into madness
Threw in 2 tubs of ice cream, because there was plenty of the stuff, and i thought "why not have some comfort food as you watch your city burn"
This is what shopping like a sane person who doesnt think the sky is falling looks like, just so you have a reference point amongst the fudgery
Was there still fudgery over toilet paper?, surely the mature brigade were above that?...nope. There were people stuffing 8 packs of 8 as high as they could, only to get near the checkout to have staff tell them about the 1 pack limit. Cant tell you how many times i got asked "do you want one of these packs?" as i walked around because they were panicked about missing out on something else and didnt want to have to walk all the way back to the other end of the store where they'd rushed for TP, to put it back. I was being very christian as i went about my shop, but not that christian. I actually stood there in the entrance of the TP aisle and watched these beasts in their natural habitat in the middle of a feeding frenzy, i actually asked in a loud voice, "Jesus, what IS the fascination with toilet paper people?". One older bloke scooted past me offering up "I dont know", which i thought was the first and only honest answer i would get from anyone there, so i moved on about my business....
I ran into the nice girl staffer that tipped me off about the bread twice and she updated me...it was getting close!
I saw one of the ladies on a mobility scooter, who had a tiny basket on it and offered to walk with her and carry anything she wanted (she had a friend come to carry additional stuff, but they werent allowed in without a card), but she'd decided she wasnt going to go overboard and she had one of each major staple, and i said, "stick with me i have the inside line on the bread, should be there in about 5 minutes", so we headed over to wait. I was being christian again, which is, i think you'll agree, quite something for an avowed atheist, by telling anyone walking past and thinking there was not going to be bread, that there would be bread, and it was imminent.
Meanwhile, a man came past with a single 12 pack of TP and said sheepishly, "i heard you in the toilet paper aisle and just wanted you to know i only bought this big pack because i literally ran out this morning". "Good", i thought, "im in their heads, maybe this lot are all part of a hive mind like the Borg and this will filter through the collective". I dare you to tell me that with influence like that i shouldnt be running, along with hoofprint (a mate on my home forum), for office of this great country. If i can reach someone in the middle of a TP binge at the direst point in our countries history since WWII, then i posit i can do anything. Sure ultimately there will be some resistance, much later, to the reduced, some might say communist type of reduced choices of items once im in power, like 2 choices of cheese, government cheese and camembert, and i dont mind giving you a heads up the camembert is a trap...obviously anyone buying camembert at any time is a toff and will be sent off to be rendered.
But i digress....
The bread came out and i said "You're exactly who i was looking for" to the young girl dragging the trolley of bread to which she laughed. I was the first person to get a crack at it, but i only took 2.
I got through paying for everything ($60) without an issue and left the rest of them to pick the shelves even barer...
Was waiting at the bus stop for my bus home, when a man walked up and asked if myself and the other man waiting had gotten what we needed...im not super responsive if someone just waltzes up into personal space and asks me personal things without context, and i think he figured this out because then he added he was the regional manager for Woolies. So we got to talking, the 3 of us, i told him that id finally got some bread, which was a major thing for me, to which he told me that they were getting hammered like the TP producers were and it was a problem everywhere at the moment. I also mentioned the veges and he said that starting today they were going to start closing at 8pm to try and stem the madness and have more time to restock, to which he added that by the end of the week they would have more stock in warehouses and then out to stores, so next week hopefully should see improvements. He stood there and talked openly for a good 10 minutes until my bus came.
I did offer up my suggestion as in my twitter yesterday of staggering restocks throughout the day instead of on or two (and mostly opening in the morning to have it gone in an hour) and closing the stores for an hour while they restocked to discourage the hoarders who currently know the restock times, and also give the staff a break. He said he got the point and they were staggering restocks on some times like meat chicken, fish, milk and dairy.
Nice guy.
I felt sorry for him because he was on his way to EastGardens and said they were going to have an even worse day as apparently most of their delivery didnt get in last night because of the transport curfew....
So again, somehow, despite the circumstances:
