    Yes.
    And its utter bullshit.
    Diacetyl, which causes it, is also found in normal cigarettes, in MUCH higher quantities than in E-Liquid.
    And no one ever caught popcorn lung from smoking.

    Fair enough. Personally I think people who Vape are using themselves as human guinea pigs as nobody really knows the long term effects yet.
    But has to beat smoking, that much is guaranteed.

    Agreed. Not saying it's really bad but the research simply hasn't been done. Fully expect some bad **** to come out about them in 5-10 years or so.

    Like you say though, surely better than ***s at least.

    Yeah I am under no illusion that no one knows whether or not it is 100% safe.
    But like you say, its a hell of a lot healthier than smoking, and if it keeps me from smoking, then that can only be a good thing.
    Plus I dont constantly smell like a ****ing ashtray, and I have more money in my back pocket.

    I tend to agree. Our lungs are designed to breathe air. Once you start inhaling a concoction of chemicals and particulates I think you're asking for trouble.

    Funnily enough I find that a Vape ****s with my asthma, and have had nurse specialists tell me they're starting to advise against asthmatics using them... Well about a year ago anyway.

    Its water vapour at the end of the day.
    So if you are asthmatic, then its probably not a good idea.

    I make all my own juices, so I know exactly what is in everything I vape.
    Its just fruit flavouring, Vegetable Glycerine and a smidge of nicotine.

    Me too.

    However, I have to learn how to use gadgets as my wife and kids like them but can't work them. If something goes wrong with a phone, tablet or TV they just hand it to me like I'm IT support.

    Anyone have a VR headset? bought one for mini luv and am looking for a compatible phone (S6 and above seems to be the answer) I understand I then need to download apps from the Play Store but are they any good? Do they fill up the storage on the phone? Any other advice?

    Love my iPhone and iPad. Have thought about buying the new Apple Watch. But, as Comm says, I can’t justify the expense to myself...















    Yet!.......

    Got an iPhone 6, a laptop and an Xbox One.

    So basically the same as every mid 20s bloke in the country.

    The ex bought me an iPad but it's **** so I sold it.

    That's pretty much my role in my house too.
    "Dad, the tablet isn't working?"
    "The TV wont switch to HDMI 2!"
    The amount of times I have had calls from the wife or my eldest with **** like that, like "I am at work, the **** do you expect me to do about it from here?!!"

    Yeah I've got the Samsung gear and it's alright. After about an hour at a time my head feels weird so have to stop. Also sometimes overheats my phone which is an S6. Not had any problems with space just don't install all the apps at once.

    You only need the oculus app and then you install and manage your apps through that. There are some decent games and you can watch Netflix and the like as though you're in a cinema which is kinda cool.

    Thanks for that it is exactly what I wanted to hear, I'm getting him an S6 and the VR is on the way. Not happy with the price of the S6 but no way round it as any previous models don't work with it.

    Also like my Mag 256 Box for Iptv. Have two hosted streams on it, both work pretty good. Get all the games, movies, etc.

    Recently bought a android phone after my Sony Ericsson died, had that for 8 years I think.
    Got a ps4 but I rarely play games now, think I've almost completed fallout 4 after a year and a half.
    Had a laptop years ago but built a cheap PC as a replacement. Also can't stand tablets.
