Without having tried the IBTanked yet, im fairly sure the provari is going to be the best mod for it - IBTanked seem to be waaaay ahead as the preferred toppers for a lot of provari owners on your side of the pond! I have to say, the smok carto tank i have vapes a bit better on the provari than my other mods, although it's not as big a difference as i can tell with protanks, etc. I loooooove the green anodised caps and the green IB Tipsy i got - I can see myself building up a collection of those tanks (I'll post a pick soon)

My Boge carto tanks work very well with my MVP2s and I can even crank up some juices to 9 watts for maximum flavor.

I am not sure if anyone is interested in these, or perhaps you can ask around in the UK shops to see if they'd begin stocking them:

Pyrex Glass tank for AGA T2 and AGI $5.99
Post for AGA T2 $1.99
AGA-T2 Spare Parts Bag $2.99
AGA Parts Rubber Stopper $0.35
AGA Parts Lil post screw $0.35
AGA Parts Big Screw $0.35
RSST Spare Parts Bag $2.49

I am exactly the same when it comes to chucking stuff out claire,

I have got a vamo and 2 other mods, all with the 510 threads shot; but i just don`t have the heart to bin them. And yes i am sure F./t sell the carto`s i will look for the link later; and yes again you can use them on an ego if you so desire

Now regarding another hefty mod similar to the Tvs, The only suggestion i could give you would be the brass nemesis; It won`t be as chunky as the tvs but being all brass it will be weighty.In fact i have got one in transit, as i type here you are claire...http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004522/1411217-authentic-smoktech-510-dual-coils-cartomizers-5 http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005773/1493800-nemesis-mechanical-mod

Cheers Terry that nemesis is bang on - it's the weight I like rather than size. I'll get it ordered with cartos later

Anytime claire,

The nemesis has got some really good reviews as well.

Anytime claire,

The nemesis has got some really good reviews as well.

I trust yours, Ian's, Codz and Lisa's opinions - all have offered great advice and honest opinions and I've not gone wrong yet taking on board what you all say. Wish I'd known you guys (and gal) when I first started out vaping!

Does your MVP2 work with your Aga Lisa?

I'd been looking for Aga T2 spares - the other half can source most bits cheap for bulk, but I highly doubt I'll get through a thousand silicon grommets or various o rings and m2 nuts etc in the next few years! Least I'd hope not!
Those sets you got listed there are more like what I'm after See what I can source this side of the pond!
Unless anyone knows of definite stockist for replacement/spares kits for the aga t2 over here?

Just today I canceled all of my orders, and will no longer purchase from them, I had a purchase which said would ship on the 19th, came and went, I contacted CS with a ticket, then I was told by the CS agent it would ship on the 22nd, I looked at the order and they did not change it to the 22nd but changed it to restocking. Contacted a CS agent and was told it won't ship for at least another 2 weeks.

Between that, and all the other problems I've had with 10 recent orders, being stuck at various stages, poor answers, dishonesty, I've had enough, I cancelled all the orders I possibly could. I will look else where for my purchases, or just pay more and buy from a reliable source closer to home.

Very frustrated with this company, some people have good luck, others more like me. I've noticed no problem on low demand items, or something that is small. They have tied up a few hundred dollars from me for over a month, with nothing but excuses, and blaming it on others, being suppliers postal service, anyone they can except themselves. If they were honest, and up front I would not mind waiting, but the run-around dishonesty is to much for me.

I hope anyone purchasing from them has better luck then I did.

None of my problem purchases contained any type of batteries.

I'm sorry to hear that, you're not the first I've heard say their cs is awful.
I feel guilty at moaning over waiting a few weeks when others have had experiences like yours
I think I'll keep taking my chances, for the price it's worth waiting - especially when trying out cheap clones to help decide whether forking out mega money for an original item is worth it.
I keep my orders small though and wouldn't spend for something needed ASAP.

I feel you on this. I've had over two dozen purchases with them. Great service up until the last few months. Now with the holidays gearing up I imagine it will only get worse. I've certainly slowed down with them. I'm going to hold off as much as I can (I'm a vape gear junkie lol) until after the first of the year. By then, maybe, things will get sorted out, and it will be back to a normal if there is such a thing. I won't write them off totally though. I would suggest maybe trying later after the 'smoke' clears from the politics, and the holidays. There's just too many good things there for a more reasonable price for me to give up just yet.

I wish you better luck, and happy vaping!

No, Luv... I can't get the AGA T2 to work on any VV/VW mod. Most of my RBAs only work on the mechs EXCEPT for the $4.89 M6 Rebuildable Electronic Cigarette Atomizer (0.6ml) - 2.0-2.2 which works on the MVP2 very well =] I believe it is a coiling issue when I can't get any RBAs to fire on a VV/VW and I just need to improve my build and know the proper gauge of wire to use, but I am not sure.

As far as the Nemesis, I wish I'd have gotten one, but I never did. I have several mechs and several VV or VW mods, so I am slowly going through them and deciding which works well and which can be sold or PIFd away. The problem is, the ones that look gorgeous, like the Pisces, are really NOT hard hitters [better with iClear 30/Protanks, NOT RBAs] or are limited in size [18350]

I've just looked at my budget and expenditures =] I am a lunatic LOL I've spent so much on vape gear that I could have had a car paid off these last months XD Sooooooooo, I intend to set myself a limit and get reviews from friends who have the item or a vendor with MANY REVIEWS.

I really like the look of the MVP2 - I'm greatly loving rebuildables too though.
It may not be your coils - my mini zmax wouldn't fire the aga at all, tried 32ga and 30ga wire, 2mm diameter all the way down to a nano 1mm. Popped it on vamo works a treat!
I'll google and see if issue for others with RBA's and an MVP.

I know what you mean about spending on vape gear, I console with the fact I'd of spent the same on cigs. I'm gonna grab the nemesis, cartos, dig up more info on MVP with RBA's and stock up on enough juice to last til January and sit back and not spend on vape til I afford a provari! (Famous last words!)

I'm considering donating the mini zmax to someone recently started vaping and ready to up from ego batts, I'm not sure how best to do it though - any ideas?

The Vamo fires up the AGA T2?!?!?!?! I've got a Vamo I am trying to get modded... I'll check mine tonight =] I got the FastTech oHm reader in yesterday and my AGA T2 is reading 1.19 oHms, so it should work if it works at all =]

I got a Provari and it wasn't worth the money to me... for the type of vaping I do... I am better with FastTech APVs and Mechs =]

PIFing - I'd suggest that you PIF smalled mods to smokers you know in your community that want to try vaping. If they do quit, then you can PIF them your better mods and if they continue smoking, ask for your vape gear back. You can meet these people initially on ECF, but please don't just give everything away willy-nilly to anyone that pops up asking for your gear. There are too many scam artists on the bandwagon now and I have seen my gear sold both in the classies, on Craigslist, and traded for other gear that the 'person in need' wanted :/ I'd REALLY suggest you save your higher end mods to sell or trade in the classifieds and just PIF your cheapo egos or lower end PVs =] Most new vapers have preferred the smaller cigalikes and not the larger mods, in my experience.

I have just got 100ml of Hangsen vanilla custard for £14 from Bargain Vapours in Ireland. I hope it's good or I will be mighty sick of it by the time I finish it. Anyone tried it, FT don't seem to stock any custard flavours?

 

[trouble1000]

Glad to hear your ok Terry, I'd be lost without my vaping buddy

I use the chi in full size mode for 18650s, I just remove the kick ring section. I do need to use the longer protected panny batteries though (the green ones) like these :

https://www.fasttech.com/product/1141104

They are a tight fit to get in, I have to carefully screw the battery into the chi, as it's only just wide enough. Plus, I have to put the battery in upside down, or the chi will fire on it's own. That's probably what happened with yours, I think the lack of a delrin insulator can cause self-firing with the chi. I know you're not really supposed to reverse the battery, but it seems to work for me in the chi.


Glad to see you back Cody, less of the trips away please mate
The vapology juices do smell amazing, don't they. The cupboard I keep my gear in, as soon as I open it, I can smell the cappuccino in the Reo - I love that smell, never get bored of it.


Lisa, I tend to use my aga on the Vamo, more than anything else. They go really well together, 2 big chunky pieces together I wonder if they'll ship the aga parts to the UK, guess I'd have to order a lot though to make it worthwhile.


Claire, it does make a big difference to the coil, doing it the way I suggested - really helps to even out the tension on the coil. I'll give you a shout when I'm ready for my nails doing

 

[trouble1000]

Time for a FT update :

1st order -still acceptance at Sing post
2nd order - still flying to the UK
3rd order (for the Fogger & the Kayfun clones) - FT have finally split the order and shipped the Fogger. The Kayfun, which should have shipped yesterday, is now showing as restocking. So going off the other threads on FT, I expect the Kayfun to ship in the next 8 days or so

FastTech Update:

#1 Order Received status - placed 11/16
#2 Shipped status / November 20, 2013 , 4:00 pm Acceptance - placed 11/11
#3 Shipped status / Origin Post is Preparing Shipment - placed 11/08
#4 Shipped status / NOT FOUND - placed 10/25
#5 Returned status / October 24, 2013 , 2:18 pm Acceptance status - placed 10/14 <- I need to check and see if this had been cancelled or refunded. This was mentioned in the other FT thread. Perhaps I cancelled it and used the GCs for another order because the Kamry was an issue, perhaps they credited me... I've got to check to make sure.

As far as the bits and pieces found only in the USA. I'll ship them across the pond for any of you, just let me know. I think it was $12 to send a Provari across the pond and it went to Australia first and seemed to take a bit of time, no problem with me though. Just let me know, anytime.

I was about to put in a ticket about the package with the status of NOT FOUND and saw Shipped on 11/14/2013 This is the package that was waiting for the replacement Protank set to be back in stock. I think I'll wait a bit more for this one.

Aw thanks ian,

I had a feeling that it was the length of the battery, ah well i will just have to run it with the kick. The only problem i have with that, is that it is one bloody massive mod; with the rocket on top. Oh and both my 500 batteries have died on me.

Indeed my Vamo V2 works perfectly with the Aga T2 sat on top!
1.19 ohms, you should defo get a resistance reading on the Vamo, but might be a touch low to fire her up, I tried a coil that read 1.1 and it wouldn't have it, I then tried a 1.8 ohm coil and fired her up nice and even. I've played about with higher and lower ohms and I like it around 1.8 best as it performs well on my mechs too, any higher and I don't feel the hit so good - but fine on Vamo cos you just crank her up!
The Aga T2 not only performs great with the vamo, but they look IMO as though they were made for each other - when the rest of my gear comes, the vamo and aga shall be pretty much permanently joined.
Let us know if your Vamo likes the Aga too

That's what I wanted to be cautious about, just offering it to someone who is genuinely interested by vv/vw devices but is on a tight budget and getting conned by someone who just wants to sell it on, I know it's shame on them but would rather genuinely help out someone on a budget than line the pockets of some skank!

It was supposed to ship in 12 days, and 15 days later still no movement. Its so bleeding annoying sometimes.

I ordered a load of Liqua vanilla when I first started vaping and when it got boring, I mixed some into other flavours that I wasn't to keen on to sweeten them up a little bit. I don't vape tobacco's but I have read people recommending mixing vanilla with tobacco flavours.
You could also get some Joose Juice Apple Pie and make apple pie and custard!

Thanks Lisa, that's really kind. I'm pretty sure there will be somewhere over here that sells the parts separately. But if not, your offer really is appreciated. The Vari says "hi" by the way, it tells me it's very happy in it's new home. There were too many kangaroos in Aus, so it didn't want to stay there too long

No problem mate. I bet the lack of delrin in the chi, is what caused the self-firing. I was a bit dubious about reversing the battery in my chi, but to be honest it worked just fine that way. I know this won't work with a Vamo or SVD, but with a mech, the tubing forms part of the circuit when it's fired, so it still works with a reversed battery. I'll have to see if I can get a nice thick delrin washer for the chi, all the other mechs I have, have them installed. But even the genuine chi-you doesn't have the insulator, seems a bit daft really.
