Wow that's really hot, Dave!

give Oli a break.....he's given up smoking

.....and with the amount of money he's saved he deserves a treat....!!!

and the 'learning curve' has a beginning, but no end...!

Over the past few months a 'rattle' in my Provari has slowly worsened and sometimes it would only fire up if I held the unit at certain angles.

A few days ago it stopped working after I dropped it.

I have four 18650 batteries, two different manufacturers.

• I recharged them all...Provari didn't work
• I cleaned all the contact points....it still didn't work

I was beginning to think I had caused some serious damage after dropping it.

Then I noticed that the two different battery types were very slightly different heights.

What had happened is that the slightly larger battery had compressed the spring contact on the bottom extension cap.....this was the cause of the 'rattle' when the shorter of the batteries was used.

When I dropped the unit, it landed on it's base and the force of the impact had compressed the spring just that little bit more and therefore contact couldn't being made at each end of the battery regardless of which battery type I used.

It took me a whole day to realise what the problem was.....and was easily resolved when I pulled the spring up a tiny fraction.

It's working perfectly now, and as good as the day I first used it....!!

Frederik, I think you should get Jeff Hammond to do the negotiating for you.

By now, you'd have got it for free and probably a free coffee to go with it...!!

Massimo, you continue to embarrass us with your modelling and rendering skills

I hope you feel ashamed...!!

In north Ontario we are pretty stern. We force our children to go outside.

yep, forcing the kids to go outside to do their coding is a great idea....!!

Thank you Rich and Ashcott.

I'm sure I read somewhere on their website that it supported animated Push/Pull....but I can't find it.

Maybe I imagined it.....I really must stop eating those weird mushrooms...!!

I think that this thread deserves to be sticky.
Done.

I think Kris deserves a beer....!!

Great work Kris

this is a fascinating addition for SketchUp.

I have the trial version at this stage and have been messing around with it with SU14.

However, can anyone tell me if it is possible to use PushPull in the animation, and if so how do I manage to execute it successfully ?

E-juices: all day vapes: GoodLife "Nana's Nuts" and GoodLife "Melon Boba".

Those Good Life flavours are brilliant....thank you for putting me on to them

My favourites from them are '925', 'El Kamino' and 'Deadly Sin'

I'm down to 9mg most of the time (I still have a few 18mg 'leftovers' from a few months ago and I occasionally vape those but it's more for the flavour than the nicotine)

in fact, I'm wondering how I would cope if I vaped nic free.....hmmmmm might need to give it a try and see how I feel after a few days...!!

SO....its been a little over a year since I bought my Provari, and March 10th since I gave up on the stinkies (except for 1 stinkie in the middle of the year which I don't count...!!)

this is one of the best things I have ever done for myself, so it is probably timely to thank Oli and everyone else in here once again

my lovely lady pointed out to me that I no longer snore like a freight train...now that's what I call an added bonus..!!

thanks again Tig

great work as always, and most genuinely appreciated

Just what I needed, a scale figure with real authority!

....and he is a 'Face Me' character too....how bloody annoying is that..??!!

Let me know if you need some contacts in Adelaide

Well done mate. And congratulations in getting someone interested in helping get a display up and running.

We have a dumb planning rule in SA which pops up in every Council's Development Plan now....they require garages and carports to be set back behind the face of the building (generally it is 500mm and for some councils it is 1200mm)...!

Anyhow, it's nice to know someone is thinking about Granny...!

I am curious to find out how much everyone in here vapes each day.

Approximates will do as it is pretty hard to guage it exactly.

For me, I think I vape around 8 to 10 mls a day. It's probably closer to 8mls on average.

There are a few favourite flavours that I seem to vape very heavily though, Potion Vape's 'Melt Down' is one that seems to disappear in a few hours...!

I like the idea.

It would have even more meaning if you are buried at Easter....!!
