It does look like a good vape bob, but at over 100 quid they can keep it :laugh: It won`t be too long before fasttech have them !

I wouldn't hold you breath, think it may be some while before someone clones it to a 1:1 perfection, I do like the idea of a P3 hybrid adaptor though and the top fill certainly looks good, just got to make sure you turn the airflow off using the ring, I definitely won't buy it at that price, TBH I refuse to pay over £40 for a tank, doesn't matter who makes it.

I am the same bob, and once my new wire arrives i plan on getting my orchids set up to perfection. I am looking forward to the lemo arriving though, they look bloody awesome from what i have seen :)

According to the site they are in the middle of moving to new premises

But why say we will be open later today ? It`s been like that all bloody weekend :laugh:

Trisha, whats happening at cloud house ? I wanted to order some liquid, but the site is forever down :(
Yes, so I see. It was up yesterday but down again now.
I just wish my order would turn up!
Not only looking forward to trying the ones I ordered, but it's a €92 order.

Nathan did reply to my emails, so I'll get back in touch if I can tomorrow.

Had a day from hell today, so not been a good one.

Don't rip out the ready made coil - it really is good

They've obviously had problems doing the move, and might not be able to get on-line to update the site - The same thing happened with VapourArt in Romania when they moved premises, they were off-line for nearly a week.

Oh dear :(

That usually the first thing i do mate :laugh:Do you know what wire they use bob, and does it come wicked as well ? It`s not so much the coil i bother about but the wicking they may use !

I will keep trying :) Thing is i am nearly out of blue moo, and rather than order from the USA thought i may get it quicker from Europe, but going off trishes posts i`m not so sure now.

That's why I said don't do it - think it may be Nichrome but could be Kanthal and the wick is cotton wool, you also get a nice bag of 5 or 6 cotton wool balls and a load of wire in another bag, along with the usual bag of o-rings, screws and blue screwdriver. just take the top of the chimney off and have a look at the build, I think you will be amazed and it comes in at about 1.2 ohm (mines now showing as 1.19 on my Cloupor T8)

Thanks for looking Bob. I'll keep hoping! :)

Things were bumbling along fairly OK and then someone with thoughtless words opened an old wound, but one that still hurts a lot. We've both been upset by it - 'nother day tomorrow, and hopefully it won't be mentioned again by that person. (sniff)

If you have enough to last until I find out where this order is hopefully it'll all be OK. I do have a bottle of flavouring though so if Ian tells me how much of it will make a 2 flavour shot bottle, I'll make you a bottle of .6 VG :)

And my apologies to you all - I was supposed to put stuff in jiffy bags today and get them sent to you ...and didn't. Sorry - back to normal service soon ;)

Oky doke, so how does the nichrome differ form the kanthal bob ? Oh and sommat else i have been meaning to ask you !!! I can run a really low ohm build on any of my box mods, and can push the watts right up there with the best, with no burnt taste at all.

So how is it that the I-Sticks tends to burn juice at lower ohm`s. Example...IPV 0.8 ohms, and i can go right up with the volts, but if i put the same tank on a stick it would taste burnt :confused: Wouldn`t it ??? :laugh:

No need for apologies trish as i won`t be posting yours till wednesday :laugh: And don`t worry about the blue moo, i have enough to tide me over :)

I`ve got a chefs order on it`s way to me, and i have got some of SG`s sunshine, captain custard and 30 ml of twilight coming. The former and latter will make a nice change to what i am used to vaping. :toast:

Right, for a kick off the iStick shouldn't go as low as 0.8 ohm, they should only work for 1 to 3 ohms, and going by the chart the minimum wattage for 1 ohm is 18w on a full battery, so unless you are going higher than 19w on the IPV then yes it will taste burnt, because don't forget on the iStick 18w will be about the same as 19 or 20w on the IPV.

Any reply I will answer in the morning as I'm orf to bed now, having burnt problems of my own with a KFL+, think the wicking may be blocking the channels, because I can dry suck it and see bubbles but as soon as I fire and draw, no bubbles and after a couple of draws I get a dry hit, so looks like draining the tank and cutting back the wick in the morning as well :(

Just looking at that meself Trish, I might be tempted at £16

EDIT
Assuming the full charge/low wattage issue has been fixed

Doubt it very much

I think they'll sell a few units of the Kayfun mini with a glass tank @ £9

It's not a Mini though it's a Nano the mini is the thin one - they are just confusing people

The replacement tank and chimney description is also misleading

my orchids (v4) have a one piece chimney with an internal thread,

not sure about earlier versions though

How close a physical match are the FT smart-20 (from the photos)

to the authentic istick ? Could greenleaf be selling off remaining

v1 stock to make way for v2

I don't have an iStick but some of the colours are different and the authentic is so popular I doubt eLeaf need to sell them off cheap.
