Less is more. Most likely you were getting dry hits because you were packing the wick too tightly. The cotton needs to be loose, fluffy if you will, before juice is applied. Cotton expands when it gets wet. If the wick is too tight, it has no where to expand to, which restricts juice flow. You...

I've ordered from FT many times too, and in general I can expect about the same shipping times as you, around 10 days. In 3 orders with Gearbest, 2 were in stock at the time of order (or so they claim). Took 8 days to finally ship my Chalice III, and it took nearly 3 weeks to get here, and my...

Just an update on this. After waiting as long as I did I finally asked for a refund. They replied saying the item was going to ship soon. I asked again for a refund. They ignored the 2nd request as well and finally shipped the item. Horrible HORRIBLE customer service. We'll see how long it takes...

Well, I'm not too happy with Gearbest at the moment. I got in on the $60 sale for the Joyetech eVic VT 60w full kit with coupon. Paid extra for tracking and expedited shipping. That was 3 weeks ago. Still hasn't shipped, so I sent them a message asking about it. Just got a notification from them...

Well, considering how quickly everything is changing, it's hard to recommend a best. I use the Kanger Subtanks a lot, but only with the rebuildable section. I also have an Atlantis V2 and a Delta II, but those two I don't use as much even with the rebuildable heads (I'm using the Anyvape...

You might consider holding off on getting one, or just be aware that there is a new style of RBA coming out for the Kanger Subtanks so you may wind up wanting another one later. The new ones have holes in the side of the chimney instead of juice channels on the deck for increased wicking.

Have you tried squeezing the coil? Brushing it with a screwdriver? Both of those usually help with hot legs. Could also just keep pulsing it to try and work out the hot leg. If that still doesn't work, make sure the coil itself isn't touching anything. Where did you get your kanthal? Could be...

How is it working for you? I've been tempted to do the same thing, but I'm worried it might start flooding if the juice channels get too much bigger.

It was quite awhile ago when I wrapped my first coil, but I don't think I was scared. Like a lot of other people, I had watched dozens upon dozens of videos about it before I did it. The only time I was ever scared wrapping a coil was when I first got into mechs. The idea of shorting and...

You can't go wrong with any of the Subtanks. Well, except maybe the original. I have the original Subtank, a Subtank Plus, and a Subtank Mini. Of all the RDAs I have (multiple orchids, Lemo 1, Lemo 2, etc.) I use my Subtanks the most. The Mini version RBA works well if you wick it right (look up...

Did you tell the Mini that you were using a new coil? You can make it happen by pressing + and - at the same time when both the atty and the Mini are cooled to room temperature. At least I think. I don't have a Mini, but I do have an IPV4 and I believe they both function the same way. If I...

How has this not gotten more publicity? This is FANTASTIC and exactly what is needed to put the FDA on their toes about the efficacy and effectiveness of vaping.

So I just tore down an iSub head to see if it could be rebuilt, and it can. It's not really that hard at all. I don't have a camera atm so I will just have to explain the best I can. For anybody that has rebuilt any kanger heads, it's similar to rebuilding the iSub heads. You will need a 3mm...

Honestly I'd hold off on picking up a TC mod for now. Lots of things are happening and changing, new mods are coming out like the eVic VT, older mods are being updated like the Invader Mini (there are 2 versions of that out now), clones are picking up speed and quality... But if you HAVE to...

I never really cared for MBV. Every once in a blue moon I would order something from them that I hadn't tried before to see if their quality improved. For a long time it really didn't. Couple months ago said "blue moon" came around again and I saw their Gwar line. Ordered Spew and Jizmoglobin...

Like what has already been said, twisting the cotton while you feed it into the coil can help. The other thing I do is hold the coil in place with my fingernail while I pull cotton through. It will compress the coil, but then you just pull the cotton back and forth a few times to get the coil...

Yeah I will eventually, I just want to give Focal the benefit of the chance. This is the first time I've ordered from them, and I've heard really good things about them, but if they won't rectify the situation then I'm not going to have a choice but dispute the charge. I can't afford to just eat...

I used Paypal on this one, like I do with most out-of-the-country purchases for an extra layer of protection.

Does anybody have any experience with Focalecig in regards to lost packages? I ordered a Waidea flask clone a few weeks ago, which shipped on the 2nd. It actually made it to the US pretty quickly, and through customs even quicker. But there has been no updates on the tracking number since it...

After following this thread for a couple of weeks I finally broke down and ordered a Waidea a couple of days ago from Focal. I hate ordering from China though. The wait is HORRIBLE! But... it gives me time to prepare. I've already got nickel wire on order in various gauges to experiment with...
