Today I acquired...........

[james butler]

i was given a socket set made by king dick.
its a bit odd as it uses a hex drive instead of square drive but its free so mustn't grumble.
in its box with a good 20 odd sockets, extension bars, knuckle bars and wobbly head adapter.
only down side is its imperial.

Keep the nic high. Most people dro

Yup smoked about the same.
Didnt want to give up so switched for my kids benefit.

High nic and a decent mod and tank/dripper were critical for me.

Noticed a hugh benefit in my health over the first month.

Shame tpd ruined making my own juices. Have to make do with whats on the shelves these days.

A decent quality cotton and fluid is essential.
But would say to people give it a go at least.
Managed to kick the nic quickly (as went cold turkey on nic)

Tpd is all changing again now though isn't it.

Out of touch tbh. Havent looked into ot since they rolled it out initially.
Prefer ss mesh over cotton but its finicky to get right.

Why do i see HMS Hood when i see your name crop up...one of those subliminal things i think..Anyway with reference to the mentioned item i am pleased to report we have gone to Duck tape!!yes i also see Donald when i see that name too

When I look at his avatar pic I see 'turd engineering'

 

[gaz1]

just jack them in . I smoked 60 a day for 20 years and spent over 20 grand on fags stopped for an hour and it was a record never had one since in last 25 years

so that would be 14 +20+25

or would that have been 2 years earlier 12

Picked up this in lid ltoday, if it doesn't get burnt up I think it'll make a good straight edge for the plasma.

What's the 'stand-off' on it?

 

[sardine]

I acquired a grate for my Morso stove to replace my broken one, but I found it in my own workshop when I moved a load of junk out of the way, so I acquired it from myself . I spent hours last winter looking for one, and decided I didn't have one, and would have to fabricate one . This proves that you cannot have enough junk.

 

[gaz1]

it kinda proves you have too much junk when you cant find anything in there

I didn't measure but its about 1mm, I haven't tried it out yet I'm going to give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes

That's interesting, I was planning a range of pre-cut templates [straight edge/circles/squares/ ovals etc] in plywood, adding 'one offs' as necessary.

@Hood if you find flavours you like it's a nice relax,

Gave up smoking 50g of amber leaf every 2 days around 4 years ago now. After smoking for nearly 13 years was hard.
But did help for the craving part for the first couple of month''s
I have a sweet tooth and have creme Brule flavour at the moment and twister ice lolly which I can pick up and just use for the flavours now.

@brightspark it is scary the amount of money you find to smoke yet dont seem to have it once given up, found out I spent something silly like £2000 a year on it but still no richer now

I gave up over twenty years ago and never smoked since, but after going through a difficult time in my life I needed something but was determined not to go back to the Camels, so I started vaping using '0' nicotine, I also have a sweet tooth, I'm using Coffee Barrista, Cherry Cola and Valencia Orange and Passionfruit at the moment with the odd couple of drops of Cannibidoil to help with pain, some of the flavours are unbalievable, my all time favourite is a Coffee and Chocolate which is just like vaping Bailey's

Mum needs some paving slabs cut, I said I'll do it if she buys me some ear defenders, I can already hear a ringing when it's really quiet and I'd rather it not get worse if I can avoid it...

I seem to remember Parm recommending these before so I went for them, first impressions are very good.

They are the dogs danglies, I have the same pair, plus some H2’s and some Bilsom Viking Thunders.

I also use hearing protection when making noise, I have enough other hobbies where temporary threshold shift occurs

Nah, that just proves I need a bigger shed.

I've got the back of the head version so I can use it with face masks, excellent bit of kit

It's not a tobacco product though, all so undemocratic as per usual..

Found some old oars in a second hand shop that I liked, fixed them to the wall with Brass Munson rings.

Two 57 link chains arrived and got a couple of freebies to clean up.

They'll be handy next time you're up sheet creek
