I think the 346 & 389, might be based at Duki depot. I operate from Oldham depot mate.

Most of the garages are trying to ban e-cigs, which is a joke. At Oldham, the ban came in a few weeks ago. Their supposed to be getting stickers made up for the buses. But to be honest, I can't see how they can stop anyone, it's not illegal. I'm not going to say on an open forum if I vape on the bus, but I bet you can guess ;)

I do vape in the bus station openly, no bans there yet :D
I've never stopped anyone vaping on the bus either, a lot of passengers do, I'm just a steering wheel attendant :laugh:

I can go for a full trip without needing to vape, with using 24mg nic. Most of the trips I do are under an hour, so it's not too bad.

:offtopic: Just tried the peach flavour juice, it's nice and refreshing. Not sure about the fruit mix one though, but I'm only using it on a 650 ego with a knock off vivi nova. So it may be better in an Evod.

I didn`t even know there was a ban on the buses mate ! Ah well it won`t stop me lol, I will just go into stealth mode.

Is that the crentia, or the liqua you tried ? EDIT...I even vaped all the way to greece and back,at the airport,and on the plane !!! no one batted an eyelid.

So far they've only put notices up in the depots, a lot of people ignore them anyway and just stealth. They say they're going to get signs made up for the buses, but until they do just carry on regardless mate :D
I can see it now:
driver "sorry Sir, vaping is banned on the bus"
passenger "since when, there's no signs up"
driver "the company hasn't printed them yet"
passenger "in that case **** ***" (fill in the blanks as necessary) :laugh:

The juices I got were dekang and hangsen basics. I just got the expresso in the crentia.

To be honest mate, they expect us to be Drivers, Social Workers and Policemen. There's that many rules.

For me though, if someone gets on with a beer mat for a ticket, I'm not bothered. Unless they give me grief, then that's a different story, size 10 boots come in handy :laugh:

The drivers that challenge everyone are the ones that are likely to get punched. I'd rather have an easy life :D

Another update :

Re-wicked 3 of my Evod heads with cotton today, the stock FT coils were in pretty good shape to be honest. But I just like the extra flavour from cotton. Vaping some of the Blueberry now in one of the re-wicked Evods, the flavour is amazing, I get a real nic rush using cotton :cool:

Did you wrap directly around the cotton ? or make the coil before putting the cotton in ?

I have been thinking about trying this. How many wraps did you do and what ohms did you get ?

I'm pretty good at wrapping the wire around the cotton, even without using a needle or toothpick for support. It would be easier wrapping the wire around a screw and then inserting the cotton after though.

Not sure what thickens the wire I have is, I got it from Liberty Flights, it has the ohms per foot (about 29 ohms per foot), but that's it.

I re-space the tightness and spacing as I go along, cos it's harder to re-space the gaps once the coil is wrapped on cotton.

I normally use 4 wraps with this wire, comes out at between 2.2 and 2.8 ohms, depending on how tight it is.

The only problem with cotton is it's very easy to tear and you can't dry burn it, I do pre-torch the wire with a lighter first though.

If I had some different wire I could probably do more wraps, but I need to use this lot up first. The cotton I use is from the Wife's cotton make-up removal pads, but cotton wool balls work just as good.

Hope that all makes sense :D

Did you get an email from them? They had a problem with Hong Kong Post which is why they have switched to Singapore Post

Spona,

you asked about the E mail I received about missing orders .. Here's a Copy for you info >>>>>

Sent by Jasmine
We've received reports from the customers about their orders that shipped on 6/28 but still have not shown the tracking information on the Hong Kong Post website, after making a lot of phone calls and visiting the post office this morning, the Hong Kong Post confirmed that the packages have been returned by the Hong Kong customs, this might happened if one package in the bag has been suspected contained contraband goods when passing through the security check. This actually happens from time to time.

Usually, the Hong Kong Post Office will inform us within a few days if there is a return happened, but this time they didn't contact us about this issue due to the slow internal handling of the Hong Kong Post Office. Singapore Post do a very good job of informing problematic packages, they usually report to us within 24 hours. This is also one of the reason why we chose to shift most of the packages via Singapore Post.

We are e-mailing you to check if you would like us to resend the package. Because there is a lot of orders being affected, we're going to resend the package via Singapore Post if we didn't receive your reply within 24 hours. The tracking number will be sending to you within 48 hours because we need to shift the packages from Hong Kong Post to Singapore Post. Would be much appreciated your understanding on this arrangement.

Although this issue is beyond our control, we still feel the same frustration. We will watch closely on the tracking information of all orders from now on, and make sure this problem will not happen again.

We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused.

This MAY apply to yourself ????

Regards

HH

I asked them and they just copied and pasted what they sent to me last time!

We shipped your order on 6.28 within 24 hours it was placed.

Please be assured that your package is on its way to you. You can find a snapshot of your package when it left our facility here:

As you have selected the regular airmail shipping method during checkout, the estimated delivery time is up to 30 working days. This is as quoted on the checkout screen. Keep in mind that FastTech is located in Hong Kong as displayed on the contact us page, and that's where airmail packages originate.

We'd like to take this opportunity to explain that multiple shipping methods are available during checkout and, regular airmail is the least speedy method of shipment available at FastTech. You can find a list of our shipping methods and a comparison of them here:
What are the available shipping methods?: FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics - Worldwide Free Shipping

For instance, the registered airmail service we offer takes about 14 days to deliver. Registered airmail is absolutely free for orders $15 or more, and otherwise costs only about $1 to upgrade.
FastTech makes sure all in-stock orders leave our hands in about 1 to 2 business days they are placed. Once they are shipped, the delivery time solely depends on the the shipping method you have chosen during checkout.

Please give it some time and it will be delivered.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with. Thank you.

You'll have to get yourself a pet octopus Terry, so you can use all your mods at the same time :laugh:

I've just been adding new flavours to my wishlist, along with the ithaka atty, have you seen it $30+ on Fasttech, must be a $100 regular item everywhere else. Anyway, I've decided that adding and taking things away from my wishlist is almost as good as ordering :banana:
