I am using my first tank with the 0.5ohm coil at 25 watts with wide open airflow. I did just try it on 2nd airflow setting and it gives a nice MTL vape with plenty of vapor. I don't have any spitback issues but I am used to the cubis tanks so I am used to dealing with spit back by taking a few no fire draws and short burst hits before I take a full vape if it has been sitting a while.
As someone mentioned, this forum is sure quiet lately. I hope ECF is going to stay the community it has been in spite of this mess. I feel like I am watching a countdown to doomsday or something.
No, but customs already forbids any tobacco products from shipping. Here

I don't see how China can even afford to sell items with free shipping given the amount of paperwork and fees involved in exporting. I have only shipped one item out of the country and it was a bit of a headache.
I have maybe 5 or 6 STM & have never used the included coils or cotton.
To me as well.
I think what people are seeing is the summer slowdown but because of the dooming date it appears to some that ECF has become a ghost town.
I will make one more order from FT in a week or so, spare parts and some wire for about $20. I am waiting for delivery of Kayfun 5, to check if I like it and if I want spare parts for it. Hope that spare parts will not attract custom's attention. Screws, O-rings, glass tubes...
For anyone else looking for storage for flavors, this is what I came up with. Nail polish tray from Amazon:
Amazon.com: Weiai Clear Acrylic 3 Layers Nail Polish Rack Cosmetics Display Shelf Acrylic Makeup Organizer Lipstick Box C70: Home & Kitchen
Plus this Sterilite storage box with handle:

Available from Walmart for about $5.
Works well because with the staggered shelves, I can actually see my flavors, and it has a handle for carrying. The shelves stop things from falling over. Doesn't fit all my flavors, but fits all that are in use. Hope this helps someone!

IF our ecigs fall under the same rules as cigarettes on 8/8/16 in the eyes of customs, then personal orders will no longer be allowed to be imported the same as cigarettes are not allowed now to be imported. Only businesses holding a valid Import License are allowed to import them. Individuals can not get an import license. The only question is IF our ecigs will fall under the same rules.
The only written rules I can find would indicate that Vandal is correct and the rules of importing cigarettes are based upon the PACT act which is thought to not include our ecigs until revised. But unfortunately its not written clearly and I cant' find in the PACT Act itself where it says anything specific about importing rules (hoping I've just missed it). So far there's been nothing updated on either the FDA or customs websites mentioning importing rules for our ecigs that I can see and I've have been watching for weeks. We'll know soon if we are allowed to continue to import for personal use or not.
Sorry if your comments weren't meant to be sarcastic but I just couldn't help myself. 
Many are more clueless then we are, which doesn't say much for many of them. Thank goodness there are a few that are trying to wade through this with as much accurate info as possible but the FDA has left far too many black holes to allow anyone to know very much with any certainty.IF the same rules of cigarettes are going to apply to our ecigs and they haven't gotten their import licenses that's exactly what's going to happen until they get their licenses. Licenses don't appear to be hard to get, but they don't issue them quickly and I'm not thinking in this case they're going to be rushing the process
On the other hand IF the same rules don't apply then we're fine other then the slow downs for checking stuff out and even that could be time consuming but not nearly so bad.
That is so true, everything is so blurry on what this actually means on 8-8 for import and tax. I am confused and have quite a bit of international and mailing experience. Right now I think it is blurry on purpose.
Excellent idea. I've been trying to figure out what to use. Right now, I have about 40 bottles lying in the boxes they were shipped in from the company.
Your sarcasm detector is on point.
I was more saying that assumptions and fear of the unknown spreads like wildfire and gets accepted as definitives quickly.
It's not fun to admit powerlessness and even harder to accept it, when at this stage of the game we have no clue how things will go.
I swear I was reading a thread the other day called something like The Fast Tech Thread for all Fast Tech posts, but when I do a search for it, I can't find that thread. Would someone who is familiar with that thread, please tell me in what ECF subforum I can find it? This is driving me batty!
IME, when it comes to regulation, blurry is way more common that simple and straightforward.
It's just buried back several pages in this subforum The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)
The Chinese government subsidizes these transactions, which is how companies like Fasttech can afford free shipping on even very small orders. That's why the U.S. has a $357 billion trade deficit with China. Meanwhile, U.S. goods arriving in China face high import tariffs and taxes. A Harley-Davidson motorcycle costs $100,000 in China to give you an idea how that works.
Not trying to be political here. Just hoping to offer a bit of an explanation of how the Chinese companies can afford to do business this way.
