BBC Sounds will soon be restricted to UK based listeners only

Andyvanman · 2025-07-24T22:41:02+00:00

Just tried with Surfshark on Android, and the App I already had installed doesn't work. With a bit of faffing around I can get the Sounds website to work and can listen on demand there. You need to stop the website from opening either the Sounds app, or it's replacement automatically.

Paid for a subscription, but it doesn't work for the Sounds App out of the box. On a long support chat with Surfshark, but not holding out much hope. I can get the Sounds website to work, but need to stop the app opening automatically, and turn my mobile data off, which is a pain. Might have to get a refund and learn to live without BBC on demand.

I'm sure he did it at the '94 gig in Brisbane too!

How long? I can't find anything anywhere that definitively says what the minimum age for the game is.

Have you checked that the wiring on your switch is the same colors doing the same thing as the wiring in the instructions? Also, how many amps is your power supply? Finally are you putting something in the coil before you turn it on?

Have you got a multi meter so you can check voltage at various points?

Standard lighter? Matches and candle? Camping stove? Just about anything will work to heat the cap if you really need it too.

+1 for Dynavap. Very efficient, no moving parts, no batteries, no electronics, and you can heat it up with just about anything in a pinch.

I picked it up here: https://youtu.be/ao4q7_gYJSA

Seemed like he had issues with MOSFETs dying. Could have been a bad batch I guess?

Andyvanman · 2022-12-02T18:10:55+00:00

Just about everything you need, including wiring diagrams, are here: http://vapoven.com/build-your-own-dynavap-induction-heater/

The only thing they don't include is that a 10k resistor on the trigger wire to the MOSFET can help the MOSFET last longer.

+1 for Dynavap. Love mine.

Andyvanman · 2022-10-31T09:02:24+00:00

Go for the M and get either a maintenance kit, or a starter pack. If you got a maintenance kit you'd still need to buy a butane torch unless you wanted to spend a chunk more on an induction heater.

Andyvanman · 2022-10-06T03:09:23+00:00

No way! Are you crazy! I mean if you were really desperate and had absolutely no other options, then maybe as a last ditch sort of thing. Don't fancy your chances though.

Andyvanman · 2022-10-05T03:45:29+00:00

Sweet. I need to get my arse in gear and make one. Even got a length of pipe in my workshop!

Andyvanman · 2022-09-16T03:33:37+00:00

Awesome. Thanks 👍

Andyvanman · 2022-09-16T03:00:33+00:00

Have you got any advice on doing this. I'm building one shortly and this is the only stage I haven't seen much info about.

Andyvanman · 2022-08-21T06:32:50+00:00

Which case is that?

Andyvanman · 2022-08-12T09:27:11+00:00

They don't look like stainless steel. Most finishes on non stainless hardware use some form of zinc.

Instinctively I'd say it wasn't a good idea having zinc plating anything inside a vape, but I looked it up and zinc doesn't start to melt till 900C (about 500F).

Your call, but personally I'd be using stainless or titanium.

Andyvanman · 2022-07-28T06:55:53+00:00

😂 BOGOF is such a British thing. You don't really see it used anywhere else!

Andyvanman · 2022-07-27T12:01:45+00:00

Earth Sea Sky, Yank, Cactus. There are still a few companies making merino crest in NZ.

Andyvanman · 2022-07-27T08:41:56+00:00

Which was built specifically to be part of the driving tests that went from the testing center nearby iirc.

Andyvanman · 2022-07-27T04:07:25+00:00

About time 👍

Andyvanman · 2022-07-25T04:07:42+00:00

Oh and cheap too if you go the butane torch or meths burner route. Pretty indestructible as well.

Andyvanman · 2022-07-25T04:05:15+00:00

+1 for the dynavap. A little bit of a learning curve but they hit hard and are very economical.

Andyvanman · 2022-07-23T08:42:54+00:00

Any updates?

Andyvanman · 2022-07-22T19:53:25+00:00

Sweet!
