I'll be having to do some major topper cleaning/coiling when I get off of work. Boge carto tank is gunked with cinnamon red hot, my Protanks are all burning, AGA T2 is barely heating up and can't be read on any VV/VW mod, and my Cobra Genesis won't fire on anything :/ I've turned to CE4s for my sweets and Boge carto tanks for a bit of a tobacco vape until I can get things sorted :/

Bloody hell Lisa, you've been doing some serious ordering from FT there :D

Well my first impressions of the rocket crap, first of all i binned the stock coil (always do) then built one out of 3mm silica, and .5 ribbon.

Undid the post screws and one of them came out, they are so so very tiny it took me half an hour just to get it back in. managed to get my coil in after a lot of fiddling, filled it up got a couple of nice vapes; then the gurgles started (mouthfull of apple pie).

Absolutely pi**ing out of the airflow screw. decided to unscrew the topcap, and it just emptied all over my jeans. Not a very happy bunny at the minute. In other news the kick works fantastic, i have got it in my chi you with my trident, and boy it is producing well.

I put it on its highest setting 10 watts, the trident has got a 1.6 ohm coil so you can imagine; Wonerfull. I am also liking the long curved drip tip, as it cools the vape down nicely.

Well thats my evening explained (really pi**ed about the rocket. But everything else is fine.

EDIT: well i have the atty coming, i may as well get the taifun now as well just in case i can`t get a fix for this pile of crap

Double edit: going off ian`s post i would go for the taifun claire.

You need a magnetic tip screwdriver for the post screws mate, there impossible to get back in when they come out.

Sorry to hear that you've had the same problems as me with the Rocket Terry. I'm pretty sure between us we can get this bugger sorted out. Try playing around with the airflow screw a bit, I've heard if you take the screw out completely and play around with the 510 connector a bit, that can cure a few problems. Plus the filling technique makes a difference to flooding and leaking.

Did yours come with the red O-rings mate ??

I'll need to get my glasses and magnifier together, but do tell me what to look for to set this bugger :/ I just turned the screw and I haven't a clue how or what else to do... I didn't notice a mark saying START HERE AT 0 or what have you LOL I just gave it a twist, but I'd appreciate a bit of help so I can set mine properly as well. <3

There are no marking on mine as well lisa,

But after watching some vids on you tube, i detemined; if it is fully turned clockwise that is the highest setting 10 watts. so each notch you turn it back will drop the watts by one watt, down to five.

Oh dear :(
Mines waiting to get shipped from SP, not too excited about it now - I'll give it the other half to dismantle and find a fix for any issues.
I'm just holding back on the Taifun cos of the draw, looks like it could be tight.
Good news about the kick though!
My Torchy batts are with me being christened in the k100 to prepare them for some abuse when the TVS arrives which should be any day :D

Have you's seen the curved acrylic mod stand on FT? I'm thinking of getting one for by my bed, I could do with a stand to pop mods, batts and tanks in that aren't in use but are ready to use - my toolbox is getting rather full. And I've taken over a full kitchen cupboard just for steeping lol.

Gonna browse FT now and hopefully buy something that doesn't disappoint like the Rocket most likely will!

No mate the stock o-rings are white,

I lost about 5 ml of one of my fave juices with the bloody thing, it is now in the same place yours went to Ian THE SINK. I do smell lovely though :p

Mmmmmmmmm, I am done ordering for a bit now... I've plenty of eGo kits & an EVOD battery coming in for my stealth and PIFFing. Diplays and toppers to keep me going since I am excessively happy with the MVP2s. For the toppers that straddle the subohm fence, I've been using the Magnetos, both FastTech's & Smok's, since I can't get my VV/VW mods to read the subohm toppers.

What I'd like to do is coil some of my nicer toppers like the AGA T2 and the Cobra and be able to use them on a MVP2. I'm stuck using them on mechs for now :/ Kicked mechs are best with them, though.

There's quite a few nice mod stands on FT now isn't there Claire. I just went for the one with the largest hole sizes and the most holes :laugh:

I like the look of the new launcher mod too :

I'll let you know if the red O-rings make any difference when they arrive. I think the white ones are way too thin for an atty that works on internal pressure to work.

Sounds like you need a bath mate :laugh:

Must admit when I went on holiday, I'd made up some evods and coiled them at just over 1 ohm. I forgot that the SVD wouldn't fire them this low. Luckily, I had a 510/evod connector, so I could still use them on another mod :oops:

Don`t be too down hearted about the rocket claire (it happens) and if we can`t find a fix between us all, well we just move on. I know one thing though, i am not prepared to waste any more good juice on it. It will be my crappy ones what go in it from now on.

Yeah i have one of the stands on it`s way to me, i think it is the 16 hole one though, just enough for mods and a few bottles etc. You will love the tvs claire, any time i leave the house thats my choice of mod. Ian could run over it and reverse back over is as many times as he wanted in his bus; and i am sure it would survive. solid

. Filled it up with some 18mg GVC luckily, with the 24mg it would have blown my head off. I'm already getting a nic buzz from the 18mg.

The taste with silica is absolutely amazing, plenty of vapour and a great TH too. I may have to add another coil wrap next time, I'm running it at 1.3ohms ....WOW :vapor:

I'd say it's as good as the KFL, which for me, is a massive compliment.

Took me longer to choose the battery tube than it did to set it up :laugh:

The thing about nic is - the better the delivery device, the less you need.

Nobody wants that strange nic buzz that makes you so antsy that you wish you'd eaten your house before you got home. Do they?

Hmm, I gotta bottle of strawberry JJ left - I'll reserve it for trialing the Rocket (shoulda kept that awful bubblegum one!) - be at least a week til mine gets here, so I'll keep an eye on what you two imagine up and do a bit of inter web reading in readiness - what size red o rings please fellas?

When I've got a few more I'd like to reserve my aga t2 for use with the vamo, look perfect together IMO.

Ok, any thoughts on bliss RBA, steam turbine RBA (the one without drip tip), or shall I just purchase a Fogger and an atty and wait and wait?
I'm leaning toward the steam turbine - I just don't like the sleeve.

Sorry to hear that the rocket isnt working out :(

I might start adding a few things from FT to a wishlist for the new year. I'm gonna need to get some more Liqua Menthol from them by new year as it's turned out to be my ADV at the moment - one of the few juices i dont get fed up with and dont lose the taste of, especially with a bit of mentholyptus concentrate added to pep it up a bit. I'm gonna order some of the berry mix that terry recommended too. I think i might try another of the RBA clones but not sure which one yet - perhaps the fogger once i know what it's like, a stand (probably a long stand as it is FT after all ;)) & a few drip tips.

On Ian's recommendation I've just ordered 4 X 10ml from vapology all with extra flavour (Caramel, Vanilla, Blackurrant & Cappuccino).

If they are nice then I'll go for some combinations next time and probably give the very berry cool a try too. I'll also try a couple of flavours from creative vapes and get some more flavours from triphammer in before Christmas too.

My most recent FastTech order went from Hong Kong to California, to Virginia... not sure when it'll get BACK to Texas LOL Why go from California to Virginia, on the other side of the US? They could have dropped my package over Texas by parachute :p

I've got a crazy Protank leaker that's wasted a huge amount of juice :/ I might have to retire it.

My AGA T2 has not been working, so I recoiled it this AM and she's still a no go. There was a little rubber seal at the base that had come out and was twisted. I pulled it out, thinking it was blocking the connection with the firing pin, and still no go. The coil looks great, so I am unsure what it could be. I hate to dump this juice, it is really tasty, so I'll probably put it in a new bottle and take the old AGA apart to see if I can determine her issue :/

I'm in a bit of a vape funk now :/ I can't get any juice to satisfy me... I had a tank of Cinnamon Red Hot going strong, but it gunked up and I've just got it cleaning this AM. Perhaps that's what I need, another Cinnamon Red hot vape =] At least it clears my sinuses... and with everyone getting sick, I need to keep those sinuses clear :p
