    @Koolkiz , I checked with my friend in Omaha and she does NOT have to give her information, either, just pay the tax on what she purchases. Same with another friend in Kentucky. No personal info was asked for in either case. :)

    Til, tomorrow, Shinies......safe and pleasant dreams...:)

    It's interesting but I'm still confused how alternating current can heat a coil of resistance wire more efficiently than direct current. I've read the Fourier explanations and the same blurb on the innokin site.
    Help me here Fred - how is it better?
    Changing the frequency of the AC is the key they claim but how does this make it taste different or better?
    Nah I don't think AC betters the flavor mate....at least not what I can taste. I just like the idea of using AC over DC.
    It does however make sense to me that AC...together with adjusting the frequency has the potential to make a difference in flavor detection.
    DC to me (and my gut instincts) is "raw" power...good to transport power over long distances. AC is more suited to use in everyday electronic devices.

    My local shop just has my cell number to text deals every once in while, like $.50 cent 50 ml house juice on your birthday week and keep track of points from purchases. I got 2 bottles of juice in june for a dollar.:)

    @Daniel Forsyth, I do hope you are sitting Mate. :w00t:

    On the way with some spare wire. :thumbs: From Sourcemore and a really good price too, $24.53.

    As you know it took me a good long while, but in the end you got me there.

    Besides, with my soon to be Brunhilde SbS I couldn't just have one lonely Brunhilde lady in the house.

    She will need a good friend to hang with and one who speaks German. :wub: They will be paired together. My Dvarw's are upset they won't get to sit on top of the Brunhilde SbS, but too bad, they'll get over it. I mean, it just didn't feel right having a rowdy little Dvarw on a Brunhilde SbS. I needed to make it right. I did!

    Plus my heritage is German, so it really was just a matter of Time.

    ETA: They better send me one of those cool Trojan like helmets.

    My last Sourcemore order only took 14 days. I hope this one is just as quick. I'm itching to get Her setup.

    Plus I am dying to see my rowdy little Dvarw's faces as I vape Her. If you feel the Earth shudder and shake, you'll know where it's coming from. :lol: :lol:

    Good for you Ange. My two shipments still say:

    Cleared and awaiting international departure

    DONGGUAN EMS, CHINA

    Date & timeWed 30 Jun, 10.41am

    Sic George onto them. :grr:

    Thank your mate for me, as he explained it brilliantly. Whatever the genie in the chip is doing, I love it. And I'm glad it's in a device I can actually afford.

    Looks sharp Fred. How are you liking the vape on your new 16mm Dvarw? Is it more condensed and flavorful?
    Hey Big Man. I'm a bit peed off actually. I love how it vapes, but the damn thing has that dreaded taste of machining oil. Can't get rid of it either. I've thrown it into the ultrasonic bath twice now...soapy water, but it's still there.
    I plan to do a side by side on the same tobacco juice with it, and the two bigger Dvarw brothers...22 and 24. For what it's worth, I want to see if my 40 yr smoke battered taste buds can detect a difference...:D
    I'll have to get back to you ;)

    Do they still have to report a person with purchase from a vape shop locally? I don't have paypal or a credit card. My bank for the debit card refuses out of country purchases. I'm debating on just letting the goobermint know me. If I pay the tax I should be good. I'm thinking of only ordering from vendors who take out the tax. What can the government do with my info? Who knows but I'm weakening and haven't bought anything since the start of the PACT act.
    Can't you just ask your bank to put the relevant international websites on their trusted lists??

    My Dvarw's are all muttering under their breath in Hungarian....I can't understand a word of it but I'm pretty sure they're swearing a lot....:D

    Morning shinies :wub:

    My two new Z80'S came yesterday....still in box at the mo. It's kind of sacrilege for me but I bought 100 0.3 coils too. Should last me a while :)
    @ShowMeTwice worth you getting one if only to test the 'new' feature.

    Have a good one :wub:

    Not sure I'm with you there Fred. The computer monitor you're reading this on, the battery chargers you use and probably most smaller everyday electronic devices in your home have AC/DC convertors in them. Either that or they use DC from batteries.
