There was one point, during the fag-end of the 80s, when Yuppie business talk fused into day-to-day conversations. You couldn’t discuss football, DIY or washing up liquid adverts without someone wanting you to ‘seize the day’. Not that I held any strong opinions about DIY. Worse, if you had a job working for an international chemical company and were greeted each morning with the Managing Director shouting:
“Carpe diem, Dave! Carpe diem!”
When trying new wire or different coiling diameters by changing wicks it can be a hit or miss affair trying to work out how many wraps will provide the desired resistance, especially if you are new to coiling.
We would like to present a calculator for your use that takes all of the hardwork/guesswork out of the process.
Simply enter in you wire and wick details then the resistance you’d like to achieve and the calculator will do the rest – telling you how many wraps to make.
Clearly this will depend on how tightly you wrap your coils but it beats sticking a wet finger in the air. The calculator works for different sizes, types and even mixed wires.
Everybody’s favourite/least favourite reviewer has a catchphrase, it’s the one thing that actually differentiates them and sets the scene. Well, that and an ability to actually engage the viewer and carry out something approaching interesting. From “My name’s Scott” to “Hi guys, Todd here!”
If you live in a stress-free, news-free bubble you will have missed the huge waves created by Clives Bates and 53 scientists this week.
Constructing an open letter to the Director General of the World Health Organisation, they called for a shift from a no vaping/nicotine stance to one of harm reduction. The letter recounts how the majority of the predicted billion deaths can be circumvented by encouraging the adoption of the safer forms of nicotine use rather than (effectively) banning it.
At the moment I have Bush’s ‘The Chemicals Between Us’ blasting out in an effort to raise myself from the fug. One minute I was wide awake and cuddling my daughter as the breakfast news played. The next I’m suddenly aware that I have a space where my daughter used to be, a cold cup of coffee in front of me and someone has moved the clocks forward four hours.
In this week of all weeks the tune seems rather apt as 53 highly respected scientists call for the World Health Organisation (and their paid lackey, Stanton Glantz) to start respecting good science and to tell the truth about the chemicals in electronic cigarettes…as much as I hate that term. I vape, I use mods and attys, I don’t use an electronic cigarette.
Some are past masters, some have never needed to, others dream of the day they can afford to and there are those who think the whole process is ridiculous.
F5 refreshes the browser screen for those on the hunt for limited quantities of vaping goodies, by which I do not mean Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill (just a little bit) Oddie. Special launches, high prices and ridiculous demand.
But what do you do if you don’t have an F5 button on your keyboard.
It can’t be said enough, there’s nothing so wonderful as receiving emails or reading online reviews praising us for our service.
One of the key aspects to Stealthvape is that we want to ensure that every customer is treated in a way that we would want to be treated.
“A little bit of politics!” was, for anyone old enough to remember, Ben Elton’s catchphrase on Friday Night Live. For a large number of people now a little bit of politics is a little bit too much – and so this will attempt to be as apolitical as it is possible to be.
As vapers (or however else you elect to term yourself) I’m sure that very few of us are unaware that legislation of some form or other is heading our way. The lengths to which it will impact upon us may vary due to how you vape, what you vape with, where and when. All that we can hope for is that the decisions made are based on sound science, fair and reasonable.
As an ex-primary teacher you get used to seeing fads come and go. One minute the playground is awash with marbles and games of tig, the next everyone is playing Call Of Duty and rifle butting their friends in the face with sticks. Things come into existence and vanish with the rapidity of atomic particles at CERN.
Some things remain constant. Tycho Brahe mapped out the movement of the stars and planets in ream upon ream of measurements (in-between his daytime job of sword-fighting to resolve mathematical disputes). Those measurements were honed by Johannes Kepler into three laws of planetary motion that hold as true today as they did in the 17th Century.
I’ve been vaping for around 18 months now and throughout that time fashions have come and gone. Currently, it seems that every mod being made in the Philippines is then produced in two different types of metal before being released in a black coating that has all the durability of butter in the sun.
“What’s a hotspot not?”
Ahh, who doesn’t look back fondly remembering those times when Michael Barrymore was nothing more than a genial host, in front of a bank of television sets, asking obvious quiz questions to people who seemed to be out on day release?
“It’s not a good spot,” replied the audience. If any one knew where a good spot was in those days it was the British public because we were a generation raised on public information films.
We knew where not to fly a kite, we knew the dangers lurking in watery depths and we knew to be extra safe when crossing the road with Darth Vader. Public information films educated us all to know where our children were at night as they had taught us how to protect ourselves against an imminent cold war nuclear bomb.
