... I'm still only taking checks.

what are 'checks'

in good cases, something with lots of zeros on it

He's at you about the spelling.. it's cheques... But I must agree about the zeros.

I smell ad linking and spam nearby.

So it is, perhaps worse, I clicked that Audi link to check, and it took an age to get back here to make this post. With browser hopping about loading numerous urls.
Time for a virus check...

Nice!

So....educate me. How come you can vape at such high wattage without it tasting burnt? Seems when you go sub ohm the wattage is ramped right the way up....why is that?

I'm up for a bit of education too...

Thanks for info Oli, was getting a bit concerned there.
Cheers Baz

Speaking of juice, do you know how, for example, 5ml of juice at 18mg nicotine relates to say a packet of full strength analogues?

That would be about a case of Camel lights.

You mean multiple packets?, they are called cartons here. Shit, that's about 200 cigarettes.
I'm getting thru about 2ml per day or 4 packets analog? Whoa!

Well that raises an interesting question. Design is design whether 'real' or not.
To make an analogy with writing, if a work of fiction purports to be fact, does that make it fraud? Or say Architecture, if you design a building which is inherently unsound, is that ok?
Or am I being pedantic?

As for the Nautilus Mini, get the big one....it holds nearly 5ml of juice and you are less likely to burn the coil because the juice won't get as low as quickly. But the Mini is a good start.

Sorry Cotty, from a real world technical viewpoint this will not work, you have opposing grain direction. The natural movement of the timber will break this quite quickly.

VAPE PORN ANYONE?

Yes, please!
Awesome rig, well done.
I'm still using " the preciousssssss"

Yeah, that is sexy. What is it?
Oli, your photo background is appropriate, Shag pile I believe?

Just got an Aspire Nautilus mini. Movin up...

Sorry for delay in replying, been crazy busy.
But 2 weeks smoke free!!!
These are the 3 units I bought:

Just a moment...

(soulblu.com)

They all work ok.. So I'm learning about voltages etc.
Got a bunch of E-liquids from NZ so ditto flavours etc. Same flavour tastes different in each. Found out what a stuffed atomizer tastes like... getting annoyed pressing buttons 5 times or 3 times, whatever... trying to work out which spares suit which machine... getting pissed off with inconsistent battery life, particularly unimpressed with thinking I'm unscrewing a battery only to dribble juice all over my leg!

One potentially serious issue is I have no idea how much nicotine I am taking in now, I think possibly more than before, this might be the novelty of vaping, more research required...

But basically I'm sold, haven't noticed any major health effects yet but the missus is willing to kiss me again, (ditto dog ), so really, I think I might just jump into the Provari and avoid the present technical hassles. You guys obviously think it's is the bees knees, do you still?

Provari3...You reckon?

Thanks Oli, bit of a journey this, but fun.
Ah... mods... that was not explained clearly anywhere.
Also, I get Clearoimiser, but what is a cartomiser?

Thanks Garath, great info. I'm a Cabbage Patcher.
I spent most of yesterday sifting info thru half a dozen vape shops, several forums, this thread etc. (I smoked a lot too!
Lots of choice out there so I decided on a scattergun approach, I have ordered 3 different mid-priced machines from diff shops. The esp confusing thing is the interchangeability of components with different brands.
I expect to learn how they work and what works for me with this method.
Will report back next week.

Cheers Baz
PS: Getting some nic from the vape shop, NZ.

Well I finally tried vaping 4 days ago after a couple of unsuccessful years of trying to give up. Sold!
Bought a cheapish kit with two spares (Royale $70au). But the batteries only seem to last for 10 puffs or so, and the quality/quantity? of vapour is inconsistent.

So now I'm looking for a proper kit. There is a lot of confusing choice out there. And now I'm in a hurry, cos the Royale kit is failing and I haven't had a cigarette for 4 days!

Could someone recommend a basic, sturdy model without all the bells and whistles to get me started properly. (Easily available in Australia would be good).

Cheers
Baz

PS; Bought a few bottles of Wolson spice, 25mg nicotine, Apple flavour. Any thoughts on this Chinese brand?

This one caught my eye... Jesus again, of course.

More here if you are desperate for stimulation, as I am right now.

I'd be concerned for the one who did work it out, Baz!!

maybe the girl who wrote it had an encounter with triple d?

(triple d being the 25yr old that's been with a thousand women.. via watkins' link)

This is rapidly becoming an 'Off Topic' (As in off).
Though I did meet a woman once with three nipples, no stop it!
(True tho).

@watkins said:

I recently learned that such a condition actual exists and affects approximatley 1 in 5 million men. It is called diphallia http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/30684471

The chap interviewed in the BBC article does indeed sound like someone one shouldn't trust, at least from the point of view of fidelity, and so perhaps the grafitti was based on experience.

any good reference for ear topology?

Pardon, could you say that again?

@calstock said:

I'm not sure if this falls into the category of a Windows glitch or a Sketchup glitch ?

I would say SU glitch... before the very recent patch release, (15.3.331 64bit) we had no thumbnails and Win explorer crashed when trying to select any file in a folder where a skp resided.
We now have thumbs and no crashes

But I am am getting the same error as you,
"The file is already open can only be opened in read-only mode".

I am seeing a couple of other things in the workspace as well, bit hard to explain here, but SU seems to be getting a bit flaky.
