I had a similar thing happen to me some time ago.
It was advertised for £20.00 and at the time that seemed quite cheep.
It arrived and i thought wow that was good i now know were to get it from when i need another one for another project.
Two weeks later i get a letter from HM Revenue and Customs stating that i owe them £30.00 custom duty for that item.
So i am extremely carful and a bit suspicious now when ordering things.

Hi Jb,
I thought you'r comment:-
"(it's actually quite addictive)" very funny.
Smoking is addictive
Vaping Is addictive
Making smoke units is now addictive. LOL!
you'r hooked LOL!
You can get a stick on patch to help to stop smoking.
You can cut back on the nicotine percentage to stop vaping.
But what can you get to quit making smoke units. ?
Maybe a power cut LOL!!!

Nice work Peter.
When i split my hull i just followed and cut along the weld line as that is also the water line.
I also discovered that a lot of swearing was not required.
Perhaps i was just lucky!!

The modern emulsions are much more colour fast now compered to the past.
Also i am not sure but i think the varnish has some sort of UV protection.

Hi Ken,
Re: "I’m hoping to produce a small stream"
You will need to have a steady constant flow of air passing over the heating coil using a fan or air pump.
You will have to experiment with the coil voltage as you need it hot enough vaporise the liquid but not to hot to burn out the wick.
Depending on the liquid you use you will also have to experiment.
My suggestion would be to use vegetable glycerine diluted to about 50/50 with water as a starting point.
The other members that have been doing some fantastic experiments will probably be better suited to answer your question than me.

Hi Red,
Talking about Pacemakers, when i was working in the shipyard i had to test some cables using a Megga tester.
Unknown to me a fellow electrician was playing with the other end of the cable so when i pushed the button he promptly started jumping about and then collapsed to the floor.
He was then taken to Hospital.
It was some time later i found out that he had a Pacemaker fitted.
The daft bit was he knew that i was testing that cable.

Hi Nerys.
Quite a lot of the younger vapour's do what they call cloud chasing, they make coils that are on the limits of safety and they also make their mix of fluid to produce as much smoke as possible.
I think it is to make them feel big.
