The quantities are different, but it's still a decent complex:
I believe this is the one you got-Vitamin B Complex plus Vitamin C Timed Release:

and this is the Busy B:
View attachment 486811

I got the 60 per bottle in Busy B so there's twice as many in the ones you got, hence the higher price - but great about the 1p offer!

Yes the first is the one I got, the 120 Busy B was on the 1p offer but they didn't have any, only the 30 size bottles, that's why I went for the other, also being caplets they are not gobstopper size

Definitely an advantage! I need at least half a mug of cool tea or coffee to swallow one Still, if they help, it's worth it. Even after a week of 7-8 hours sleep each night, I'm still yawning all day. I've also started taking 1 capsule of L-Tyrosine mid afternoon to try and increase alertness.
Hopefully, by this time next week, I'll have both pairs of new specs, and the theory is, when my eyes aren't so terribly tired/strained, I'll stop feeling to sleepy and wanting to close my eyes!

I got mail - not much, but the post didn't arrive until 3.30
2 packs nautilus coils from Electric Tobacconist with the weekend discount.

Back to the iStick 100w. The batteries I started yesterday are now about 1/4 empty. Which is nice.

It'll be interesting to see whether they gauge falls more quickly from here.

I took more notice today once the charge was under half, and yes, around 3/4 gone, it dropped far quicker.

So id like to recount my recent fasttech experience.

Ordered a taifun gt2 and received gt2-s. Repeated order and received item again. So two have to go back after convincing them their product description was wrong. The first gt2-S took two weeks to arrive the second three. Each took a week plus to rma.

The. I ordered a new kayfun 4 clone to replace my aging one which needed enough done it justified replacing. They one they sent was missing part number 6. Another thing to go back another video to make and upload to them. It took three weeks to arrive. It took another week to rma

I received two bags of drip tips and some replacement tanks which arrived as they should. Took just over two weeks.


I ordered a 19mm taifun gs2 clone before they get rid of the base and ruin it by making it like the gt2 base. There is a short in the base somewhere. If it is press fit pieces I can't find the seam. Nor separate it. I've washed. Ultrasonic cleaned and used an air compressor hoping to dislodge whatever is there. It is under review now for rma.

I ordered some taifun gt2 bell
Caps. A five oack and four of them will not accept ANY drip tip while one does fit one or two drip tips if I absolutely live and force it. Another rma. They took three weeks to arrive with youde nickel wire and a svoemesto puzzle drip tip set - which has I rings that are far too large to fit reliably in most tanks or drippers. They will have to be replaced.

This is a some of my last few months with fasttech. I'm just about ready to give up.

I do have to say the taifun bell caps were they to accept drip tips would be the nicest bell cap I've ever seen. It's thick. Crystal clear. Beautiful. I wish all bell caps had this build quality - I would be running them on everything!

I'm about to give up on fasttech and switch to something like 3f or the other one whose name escapes me.

I received my five bottle order from my second try of MBV today. It took 24 hours to arrive as it is down the street. Unforunately all five and the two free bottles are absolutely AWFUL. I'll leave them to steep for a month and try again.

I'll close this with a picture of what I consider to be a perfectly suited pairing. Some happy at the end of a lot of annoyed.

I may take a better shot as this really doesn't don't justice.

I love it

And the idea for the 19mm gs2 clone was to go on an ego one battery as a flavor making travel companion. Total cost from fasttech is about $40 on this for tank and battery. The base works fine with kanthal. I have a 8 wrap 2.5 mm build on it now and the dual airflow means very easy to change from mouth to ling to deep ling inhales. Flavor is good. Build is a bit fiddly but wouldn't be if I had mesh to make straws.

Well. I can't comment on those tanks etc. as I've not had any of those.
Can't say I've had any tanks from FT that were broken or had parts missing either. Have had a few that I didn't like, but that was just my own preference.
Sorry you've had such bad luck with those things.

I found them a bit hit n miss and ended up ditching more than I used from them. The free ones they sent me were always in too high a PG for me to use, so no-one took the time to check the order contents before putting the free ones in. Seemed such a waste.
Still, I think you may be pleasantly surprised when your Chefs order arrives

They certainly look neat

Think it's a nice choice, and a good neat size - got one in my wish list

How was the Muffin Man? ...I see Rocket Man is here now too.

Not tried yet Trish.
Mmm! Blueberry,i don't know.Wasn't somebody saying the other night,it's seldom good.One of those hard to do flavours.

I've only used the strawberry one a couple of times ..must use it as I don't seem to like ones that have got too far over perhaps 8 months old.
I may be a cynic, but I'm always a bit suspicious of any that only come in big bottles ...bit like they don't have the faith in it to offer smaller bottles for people to try!

I must admit, I've never had one that I've enjoyed - to me, it always has a foisty sort of taste. Would rather have a blackberry/raspberry mix with cream or custard ...one day I'll get around to trying to make something like that - can't be too hard. On the other hand, Queen of Puddings is rather good anyway

I received my new advco flavors today. I found out about him in Reddit. I believe it's $30 per 120ml. Really inexpensive. The peach actually tastes like proper peaches and creme and the cinnamon roll I don't get cinnamon roll but I do think it's one of the best apple flavors I've ever tasted.

They're both well worth trying for the price. If he ships internationally - you should reach out to him if interested. Milk mee is a strawberry milk. It's mild like all of them. He doesn't go overboard on the flavor.

@Pictor

Do you still buy Bowdens Mate Trish?

Sorry just saw this - I do still use it mixed with Beard 88 and a bit of Good Cookie, yes. Got 1 and 2/3rds bottles.

I really want to know why my $30 istick tc is he only temperature control device I have that works properly. The bixer mod I could see myself making a mistake but it seems like two 510 connectors bad is unlikely.

I'm making super simple builds and both of them are all
Over the place while the istick tc hums along.

I'm guessing the istick has less accurate or frequent sampling which is probably a benefit in finicky atomizers.
I guess I need to build a kayfun lite or put the subtank on one and see what happens. Something really simple. Befaus even the authentic taifun is all over the map and I just don't get it.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'll take some pictures of my buikds and start a thread maybe. Maybe I'm not seeing something I'm doing wrong but it's not like making a coil is rocket surgery

They are very reasonably priced, and do sound nice, but to be honest, I have more than I can cope with at the moment! Mostly just buying replacements of anything I use. I do like plenty of flavour too.

Well what I mean by overboard on flavor. I should have said he doesn't go overboard on sweetener. So things taste closer to food to me. I find a lot of companies the flavor may be right but they overload it with sweetener. And they don't get creative with the sweetener they use. They don't use flavor sweeteners like fluffed marshmallow or vanilla. They use a sugar substitute. Which is why w lot of juices end up tasting of chemicals to me. Sucralose I believe it is. There are a lot of ways to sweeten. I feel lost companies get it wrong.

I can't wait until my back is better and I can mix myself.

To the above thought I may be surprised pleasantly with chefs. I really hope so! My guess is I will receive my uk orders some time between Wednesday and Saturday. Howl fully not longer. They were both sent mid week.

I understand ..I've had a number that don't taste good!

They never have any chemical taste ...and they'll be steeping as they're on their way to you!

Well - I haven't let the istick 100w go as far as it could (got to keep the batteries safe and not let them run down too far) but so far I am hugely impressed with this mod/battery combo. Nice

Good! I use mine all the time because of the good battery charge.

Not sure if it's the B vitamin complex or the 1ml of 12mg Welsh Custard I'm using each day, but the colitis seems to have calmed a fair bit!
