Anyone here used fasttech.

Passengers doing my head in today, I've been on Manchester runs - always leaves me in a bad mood

If the FT Lemo doesn't move in a day or two, I'll open a ticket and get a firm postage date from them.

Gives you a shock sometime when you get the POP doesn't it

I'll be sorting out my Lemo on Friday mate. No way I'm doing any overtime this weekend. It's going to be the busiest time on the buses this weekend, I plan to do my bit by staying at home

If I don't get the POP I think there is something wrong....
10-1 you'll get a phone call and they agree to pay you 12 for an 8 hour stint - and you'll be back behind the wheel

Yes it seems we are always searching for the holy grail doesn`t it ? I am rather happy with the juices i have so far found, but it`s nice to keep trying different ones I ordered the gwar, and some more blue moo, and for the 5 ml freebie i asked them to send me graham cracker, as bob rates it rather highly

Graham Cracker is a very nice butter biscuity flavour with some honey

 

[Bobw1951]

If anyone is interested i've found a place in the U.S that stocks Orchid 2 piece chimneys and Orchid top fill caps.
Sorry Vince,no glass tanks.

and the Link is ?

RE: LEMO there has been some problems with other peeps not getting a good connection on their mods, this is because the screw 510 on the Lemo does not protrude far enough - the only way you can adjust it, is by taking the bottom bit off and holding the post inside with some needle nose pliers and turning the screw, don't unscrew it too much though it makes the post a bit loose, but it works (I was having the problem with my T8 and the black lemo, kept saying check atty).

I was wondering about that although I'm not having any issues with it on the rDNA 40. But good to know!

Drippers, leaking - you are only supposed to put a few drops in them not fill them up

Nah drip until they are nearly overflowing

Don't Laugh
Big day for me,first full build on a device.
Orchid V2.

Dual coil,28g kanthal,8 wraps per coil.
Came out at 0.9.

One problem,only had 18mg juice all my 12 is either in the post or not steeped.

Took it up to 20w,half a dozen puffs,had to back off,head spin.

Going Well.

Nice and the VTC4 is a good battery too, that's one of the problems with low resistance - head spin, I get that with my 0.26 dual coil on the Doge and that's with 6mg

People have bee trying to just unscrew the 510 but because it is screwed into that post all they are doing is turning the whole thing, then they think it can't be adjusted, but as I said it does loosen the post a bit, so best only to loosen it until it is level with the bottom of the 510 connector.

Top caps,ain't cheap.Don't know if they'll fit all versions.

I'm the same as you, I take the top off that way you can see how much the well will take, my Caterpillar has a tiny well, so I normally soak the wick and then a few drops into the well - not had a problem so far with leaking although sometimes get the juices spitting out the air holes when I fire.

I have been waiting for my fasttech order since November 4. Is this a record for wait time or do you think my order has been lost?

They are a bit expensive, and it does say may not fit clones, and there is problems with drip tips as well, that need re-boring - shame we don't have people over here that can get into doing these sort of things, but it appears that manufacturing in this country is almost dead.

Has it been shipped? if not what does it say on FT when you click on Your Orders and the order number

You need to come out of retirement Bob.
Just waiting for the postie,hoping he'll bring my pre steeped 12mg.
If so,i've rewicked the first of my Lemo's with ... cotton.I'll run the factory coil and give it a blast.The way that Orchid is pumping out the vapour i can see me ending up on 6mg.

Mine's just been, it appears the Doge-X is now called the X-Doge and it only comes with the competition cap not the normal one and because of the different air-holes they are not inter-changeable, also got my new Qi charging mats so can now wirelessly charge the DNA40 and my Sammy Note II

I like Wakonda best, got another 60ml should be here this week (also ordered 60ml of Radioactive, hope its good ), and just got 45ml of Wakonda from the classies at near Zero mg/ml to use in some DIY mixing. Still not sure about the CLS, going to let it steep some more, but not bad. Nicoticket makes some Good ejuice, I'm Hooked.

I like Wakonda too - I could only ever use either of them mixed with 80% of CB or CLS max VG, so don't know what Virus or Wakonda tastes like properly on it's own, but was happy with them like that if I could have continued..
Very fond of some others that were short runs (some returning though) Got Cookie, PBC version 1, Absolute CB (TA), and others. Trouble is, some of those were done in a zero nicotine Max VG and I could use them, but they only do them in PG/VG now.
I like quite a number of NT's, but after a while, even just 20% of a VG one is too much and gives me problems

Don't know about that, I still find the fruit (blackberry?) a little overpowering in my Aspire Nova showing 1.9 ohm at 10w on the iStick.

Think it's blackcurrant - must be the more sophisticated equipment and higher power, because with what I use I got a good blackcurrant flavour followed by the cake & cream, and finally meringue (a bit like icing sugar). Loved it, so sad that blackcurrant is another fruit I can't use ...not alone though as I've seen others get problems with some fruits. I love NT's Band Camp but the apple is a problem!

Are you feeling better today?

I wasn't sure what to expect with that, but it sounds good! Indigo do one called Santa Sauce that a review describes as having graham cracker - they're making it permanent so I'll get some after Christmas.

I have been waiting for my fasttech order since November 4. Is this a record for wait time or do you think my order has been lost?

I have a small order for coils and a MT3S. I had a despatched email on Dec 3rd, and tracking states posted Dec 9th to an overseas country ..still waiting for it. Had a couple of fairly slow orders recently.

Brilliant combination there george Does Ian know you have got a HANA mate Only thing what annoys me about the HANA is it goes into sleep mode a bit quick doesn`t it ? It`s not really a deal breaker though, just got to remember to double click

Looking forward to trying that one bob

I am with bob on that one trish, and although it was nice, i just found the jam seemed to drown everything else out

Must be that I'm using lower power and standard coils! I do like the fairly positive flavoured ones though.

What do you think of that other mini mod I mentioned in my final post last night?

 

[cllmda]

I live In France and have have received about seven orders from FT since this summer, including 4 mods (2 Sigelei Zmax V5's and 2 eleaf Isticks -all ordered separately) and have never been charged any VAT, extra postal fees or had any probs with customs even though THEORETICALLY I probably should have ...Never heard of anyone having those probs though -you really SHOULD be ok .At checkout FT themselves will offer you extra posting options (registered mail, via this or that postal service and so on..) at an added cost...I usually dont bother...

I can only add that ive been extremely pleased with the mods purchased from FT.They were usually bought as "spares" after having paid the ridiculously HIGH local high Street price (I live in Paris city-centre and my "authentics" purchased from my local B&M are usually almost TWICE the price!) so I was able to compare them on arrival,honestly the FT ones are just the same (when FT labels the items as authentic).Ive been using my FT mods 24/7 and have been very happy all around = i would encourage you to GO FOR IT !
Cheers

Well my final order from FT has Finally been despatched overseas. It has been sat at the bleeding PO over there since the 29th nov Can`t really blame FT for that, but i won`t ever use SG post again after this !If i have read the tracking correct, it looks like my Lemo`s from Ali express, are now in the UK, i ordered them on the 7th dec, so that is good going from CP.

I decided to re-coil my Lemo earlier, looked at steam engine and went for 9 wraps of 28 ga around a 2 mm bit. It should have come out at around 1.4 ohms, so i put it on a stick and it read 0.7, and wouldn`t fire . Sooo, i made another coil with 13 wraps, and that came out at 1.7

Anyhoooo, rayoned it up, Filled with RY, Bloody beautiful, And tons better than the stock coil, with no ramp up, and no MASSIVE pop`s, just the nice crackling sound.
