This is now our third thread.

Yes, Plenty, you're right, I didn't notice.

So I have two MEPs voting against Article 18, and 2 non-voters. Better than two in favour. Good.

How do you find out who your MEP is?

Oh done it, We have
Sajjad Karim (Conservative) - Didn't vote
Brian Simpson (Labour) - Voted in favour
Arlene McCarthy (Labour) - Voted in favour
Paul Nuttall (UKIP)- Voted against
Nick Griffin (BNP) - Didn't vote
Chris Davies (Liberal Democrat) - Voted in favour
Robert Atkins (Conservative) - Didn't vote
Jacqueline Foster (Conservative) - Voted against

I've got:

Mary Honeyball - Lab - not on list
Sarah Ludford - Lib Dem - For - Loyal
Charles Tannock - Con - Against - Loyal
Syed Kamal - Con - Against - Loyal
Marina YANNAKOUDAKIS - con - against - Loyal
Claude Moraes - lab - for - loyal
Jean Lambert - green - for - loyal
Gerrard Batten - ukip - didn't vote

So the only votes against are from the tories - what a dillema for a leftie

I'm particularly pissed off with the greens' stance on all this. I usually vote for them in EU or local elections.

I'm a bit pissed off at the ukip bloke not turning up too. I hate ukip but thought we'd finally found a use for them. Thought it was a safe vote

It has given me a moral conflict lol. UKIP and a tory voting against.

And why is griffin my mep? Do they get voted in or is it random??

Hello vapers, can I ask a bit of advice? I've been vaping for about a year I think, started off on e-cigs with cartomisers, but have recently moved onto a clearo. The clearos seem to leak into the battery giving that horrible burning flavour which is ruining my ameretto e-liquid experience!
I find I'm constantly wiping it with a cotton bud, few vapes, then it's horrible again. I've replaced the clearos but although they're fairly new, the same has happened again.

Batteries are from My-Ciggy. Liquid from Tablites as I didn't like the plasticky taste the my-Ciggy ones seem to have.

Any thoughts?

I've had wine, and I cheated... I just had a real cig (first since Monday) and it felt ORGASMIC.

I have a tobacco/caramel flavour from Joose Juice steeping - will this taste enough like a real cig to stop me cheating??

(To be fair, I set myself the target of Saturday to stop completely.)

In more positive news, we gave MIL an e-lite to experiment with (she cannot kick the last 4 a day), and she seems quite up for it. Sharing the love.

Velvet What clearo is it? I would just try a different clearo :) Iclear 16s are decent, ive never had a problem with them, GS-H2s seem popular too although i've never used them :)

Clearo came from same shop as the battery,they're my-Ciggy brand too I'll have a google and see if I can get some iclear ones.

Have dx.com (dealextreme) stopped selling vaping stuff? There's nothing on the site today.

I had a delivery of 10 clearos from them today, thankfully.

Gulp.

Can anybody recommend a battery, mine all seem to lose charge within about two hours, thanks.

I'm loving my Vision Spinner Gorja - it may take a while to charge but it's lasting me at least 1.5 days between charges at the moment .

as a general rule, for a typical ex-20 a day smoker it's reckoned about 1 day between charges for a 900 mAh and about 1.5 days for a 1300 mAh battery. the potential downside is that the more power/longer lasting/bigger charge, the larger the battery is physically.

I'll second that

So... in your drawer, airing-cupboard-meth-lab or Tupperware, how many bottles of e-liquid do you have?

I've had a clear out and am down to fourteen.

Now THAT'S a question Ledare. Does this include the 3 bottles each of the same 2 favourite flavours I have (the very thought of running out brings me out in a sweat). And how about ones I've made up myself?

I realise that I am a mere novice...

Some bottles are the same flavour, yes. Three chocolates (but different manufacturers), two toffee popcorns.

What did you make for yourself in the end? I must have missed the posts.

Thanks allergic, where did you get yours from, they seem much cheaper on ebay?

Gorja I got mine from Myepack, I'm a little wary of batteries on EBay - one thing getting a clone when it's £10 for some clearos, another entirely when it's electrical stuff costing twice that.

Ledare I just made menthol, apple menthol (very refreshing) and chocolate butterscotch; the last one was by blending 2 ready-made liquids & haven't tried it yet. thinking of blending vanilla & chocolate too.

Oh, they sound good. I've done vanilla and chocolate. It's nice.

Total - 18. But that does include 3 of the tobacco I use, and 2 of the pineapple (the unopened one of which is 100ml muhahaha). And a "freebee" 5ml sample of Spearmint, which I haven't tried.

Oh damn forgot - the results of the shopping accident the other day arrived this morning - add another 5 to the list! .

I should point out that there are a few that I've tried & not liked in the overall total, and I'm waiting to see my mate in the next couple of weeks in case she wants any of them from me.

100 ml of pineapple!

I can't smoke fruit flavours on their own. Would you like some Hangsen Mandarin? I already have a Choc orange which smells likes Terrys.

That's only a little over a month's worth .

Pineapple is my most usual "daytime" vape, then the clearo gets swapped for the tobacco one late in the evening. Other flavours are used normally for a while early afternoon, but the pineapple usually ends up back on by the evening. Strangely I haven't been gripped by the other fruit flavours I've tried, like fruit mix & grape. possibly because they were a little sweet?

Why not try your mandarin mixed with choconilla? That sounds like a good possibility.....

It does!

Can't vape pure fruit at all. It's too acidic.

I get the vocal cord biopsy results next week and I am hoping that the redness and hoarse voice is due to silent reflux rather than the worst. I keep clearing my throat since giving up cigs which is a reflux symptom so everything crossed...

Hehe! I"ve just counted the bottles in my drawer. 28! Oaft! I only use the same two or three.

Ledare. I really hope your results are ok. One thing that I have noticed with vaping is that I need to cough a lot. I seem to have a tickle in my throat which no amounts of water will help. I also have a croaky voice which I didn't have before .
