We’re very excited to be expecting our fourth child some time around the 4th of January, but as we all know, well everyone that knows knows, that date can vary quite considerably. So we’re unable to give an exact date, but at some point orders will be delayed by approx 48-72 hours while we welcome our new baby boy into the world and get him settled. We’ve taken steps to make sure that someone will post an announcement on the site, forums and social media to let all customers know that there are delays with orders and hope that we will have your understanding during this special time.</div>
</div>
<p>
We hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. We can all go easy on the New Year resolutions I guess with smoking a thing of the past for the majority of us.</p>
<p>
Go easy on the mince Pies though</p>
<p>
Lots of love</p>
<p>

Professor Michael Siegel announced this week that his plans to carry out research into an aspect of electronic cigarettes have been cancelled. The Behavioral Study of Cigarette and Tobacco Substitution (BSCiTS) study was due to compare the effectiveness of e-cigs with NRT on smoking behavior. In itself, the announcement was pretty much predicted – it was the manner of its delivery that is interesting.
With all of the hoo-ha built up around vaping safety issues over the past couple of weeks it seems timely to take a look at things that are more damaging to personal wellbeing.
Everywhere vape-related on the Internet became consumed with the World Health Organisation last week. If it wasn’t commentary regarding their announced stance on vaping it was pouring scorn the keen nature of their bored legal department to crack down on those who sought to adapt their logo.
Words cannot fully encapsulate the love I have for the character Dr. Zachary Smith in the television series Lost In Space. Well, for the camp and barbed interplay between him and The Robot. At the time I figured I really liked the robot because:
- He was a robot
- He was a good guy
- Robots are cool
Wondering what the next horror story is to be linked with vaping? Perplexed why we gone almost three days since the Daily Mail last published an article about electronic cigarettes imposing political correctness on your Xmas tree? Here’s the truth they didn’t want you to hear.
In a survey I just conducted in my lounge 100% of the respondents stated that they did not like the high centre of gravity of 18650 tube mods. Fine, it may just be me, and a sample size of 1, but once you factor in my multiple personalities this becomes quite a sizeable piece of research and we all reckon it’s possible to be too long.
Danger lurks around every corner, you only need to glance at the news or pick up a tabloid newspaper. Even a glance at the official government statistics demonstrates that kitchens are veritable death traps. Vaping warnings may be on the wane given the latest pronouncement by ASH but that doesn’t mean complacency can set in.
“Dear forum, can you please recommend the best juice/atty/mod for me.”
Single wick, dual coil, silica, mesh, flavour, sub-ohm vaping…as quick as everyone on a forum is talking about one aspect of vaping it suddenly switches to another focus like a tectonic plate suddenly shifting over another.
Take juices: one minute everyone is raving about the stuff from one supplier but give it a couple of weeks and suddenly you rarely hear about their wares as the hoard move on to discover the latest, greatest thing. This is simply an observation of online dynamics and not a criticism.

I don’t know about you but I’ve joined and then left many groups on Facebook, some within minutes of being accepted. One of the things I wonder about when clicking on the join button is whether the effort being placed into that motion is even worth the bother because it usually isn’t.
Once allowed into a sanctum restricted to those deemed worthy (which appears to be every person desiring to join) my first question is ‘why wasn’t this an open forum in the first place?’ I see a familiar array of icons depicting omnipresent Facebook profiles, some achieving to be in more places at the same time than even a God could lay claim to.
