Just some trivia. Never let your bats run down completely as Li-Ion does not like it as they get stressed. For instance if you run it down completely every time, you will only get about 500 charge cycles out of it before it conks out. Run it down to 50% and recharge, you will get 1500 charge...

Yesterday I switched on the car radio for the news on Heart FM and caught a part of a telephonic interview with some chick about e-cigarettes juice to be regulated by making them only available from pharmacies in future.

Do you have kids that are working abroad and don't intend to return? Then this is for you. Chances are that they just ducked without Officialy Emigrating as they had no assets. Mine did. Now if you had to go to Vaper Heaven and leave them more than R1m each in your will, they will have endless...

Thanks Silver. Portugal has become a Tax Haven. So if you want to emigrate, go to PT and you will save yourself big bucks in tax. I have done much research into different countries as to Cost of Living and weather. PT was my choice as the North has the same weather as in Cape Town. It is...

Section 9c also states that the source of your income is in the country where you apply your mind, wit and labour to make profits even if you live in Timbuktu and invest in ZA, your income will not be in ZA but in Timbuktu. This is where I score big time in Portugal. There is a 10 year tax...

For the interested. SARS has introduced section 9c that states that if you have held shares, UT's or any other Mutual Funds for less than 3 years and sell, the gains will be revenue and all the gains will be added to your your other income. ie, You are trading as if you have a business with...

Anytime Cat. I will be posting as we go along. So much paperwork to be done as we will leave assets here and transfer monthly our gains or losses to Portugal. I can transfer all but I have no knowledge of the stock market in Europe so I will keep doing it here. Had I not had any assets here, I...

As to my emigration, I had to postpone it to 16 June as the Portugal embassy has a 4 week waiting list for visa for my wife. Cost me R4200 to change dates. Sucks but had no option. We will be landing in Lisbon and accommodate overnight then go by EurRail to Castelo 4 hours to the north. When we...

It took 28 hrs. Almost half of that you get lulled to sleep with the train movement. I love sleeping on a train. The 28 hrs might seem long but looking back, it seems a breeze as the experience was well worth it. Just looking out at the scenery was well worth it. Cheaper than flying if you are...

I will love to make the CT to Durban or JHB to Durban trip on the Shosholoso Meyl.

Yes we vaped and had our door open to see both sides of the scenery. Nobody complained as I am sure they all smoked discretely.

Part 2. We had to travel from Germiston to Pretoria for our passports. What a shlep to be there at 08.30. Far too much traffic on the roads. We took the Goutrain. I was worried about getting on the wrong train and catching the wrong Goutrain bus to our destination. I downloaded the Goutrain App...

Been too busy with emigrating stuff to post for some time but I must share this. We had to travel from Cape Town to Johannesburg for my passport. We decided to make a holiday of it and went by train. Many of you might be shocked at our decision. Train travel in SA is seen as a poor man's method...

Yes, I know its Easter weekend but I had to rush home to post a " happy birthday wish". Have a great one SP. Wish you many more and keep posting the "health news".

So far I have converted at least 5 to Vaping. Some were on forums so it could be higher. A few days ago I was waiting for my wife in a parking area when a car guard approached me and said " Why are you whities all smoking those things. Since I have been here, I see more and more of those things".

Waited for 7 weeks but it was over xmas and had to pay 14% of the cost after posting customs a copy of the purchase slip that FT will post on the website.

Oh shoot. Sorry for not responding but been too busy with emigration stuff. Thank you all for your good wishes and will keep you posted on the Portugal ecig situation. xxx Glad to have peeps that care for fellow Vapers and I salute you guys.

So busy with passport, permit for SA wife, selling furniture and car. And SARS. What a shlep to emigrate. SARS wants most of my investments to exit. Banking stuff etc. Anyone want a Smart 44 at R10k cheaper than you can find it in similar condition?

Amazing that Vapers are now learning Ohms law and now actually understand it. This is great and can be used for many other applications other than ecigs. Check for open circuits in appliances. Check voltages of batteries. Check out the resistance of any appliance for that matter. Hairdryer don't...

Thanks for the thumbs up. Been checking up on Vapers and juice in Portugal hence my absence here.
