Wow you have been on a buying spree Lisa. There's more gold and silver there than in a jewellery shop :laugh:
I hope you have better luck than me with the iClear30. Bought one a while back, it vapes superb with great flavour, I just had a few minor leaking issues with it - so just make sure you take it off your mod regularly and mop up the drips.

You'll be overtaking me with orders soon at this rate :p:laugh:

Well I know I said no updates for a while, but I couldn't resist. So Terry, Lisa and Paul (the invisible man :D) here goes.

My bagua from the co-op arrived today. It is totally different from the one on FT. FT bagua has airholes in the top cap, mine has slots machined into the top cap. The grade of metal with mine is a lot thicker than the FT one and the engraving looks a lot better. Mine is highly polished, it's a real fingerprint magnet. Plus it came with a polishing cloth, a spare spring and 2 extra screws in different lengths so I can flush fit any tank. Really pleased with it, it looks super sexy and weighs a tonne :D

My FT k100 also arrived today, I got one of the 3 colour ones, another stunning addition to my collection.

The juice order from vapology has been shipped, so hopefully that will arrive tomorrow or Friday.

The juice order from FT has also been shipped today, so that should arrive in time for Xmas :laugh:

It's been a cracking day so far, despite the fact that I've just finished a late shift and I'm back in work at 9am. Guess I'd better get some sleep :sleep:

Congrats on your bagua! I hope it vapes magnificently! I have a k100 and I love the versatility as a telescopic, but I am not a fan of the bottom button because of arthritis - the button at the top like the silver bullet/bolt is my favorite button position =] Regardless, I do LOVE the k100 for many other reasons =]

I read of the iClear 30 leaking on a few reviews, but many others had no problems. It's the chance I take :/ I have had many Vivi Novas previously and they leaked terribly, so I PIFd them away. I picked a free Vivi Tank from HC and it was magnificent! I ordered several more FREE and I couldn't get any air through, as if it didn't have a hole drilled where needed :/ So, you never know, it's a toss of the dice =] I hope it does not leak, but I can stop worrying about it either way.

I've got a few mods/mechs with gold trim, so I thought what the heck... most everything I have is black or silver to stealth vape, so I got a bit of color this time =]

Well, Emmy's had the walk and now I am BEAT! I'll be heading to bed soon, so I'll just say I hope you've both/all had a magnificent week so far!

I'm going to have a proper play with the bagua tomorrow, I'm off work for 4 days now, plenty of time to make some major vape clouds :laugh: I think I'll be doing some sanding on the k100 contacts, see if I can expose some brass for a better hit.

Don't get me wrong the iClear is a great vape, I just used it on ego batteries that I didn't worry about getting juiced up. I like my bling mods too, so you're in good company here. My ideal mech would be fully engraved and covered in gold and a few rubies and diamonds - hopefully FT should have them on sale soon for about $40 :lol:
Hope you've enjoyed your week so far, don't work too hard and avoid those stinkies :D

Time to get up to scratch with your coil building skills,

I can recomend the ribbon wire lisa, perfect results every time. :)

Terry, you're a coil building wizard :D Think I'm going to redo my drippers tomorrow, see if I can get some micro coils with cotton in them.

Do I remember you saying you'd sanded down the contacts on the k100 Terry. If so. did you do all of them (both top and bottom connectors and atty contact), or was it just the battery contacts you did ??

I'm gonna try sanding down some of my Evods too, I've seen a thread here one guy sanded a nova SVT back to metal. The pink and orange Evods don't really do it for me, so they'll be the first ones to get roughed up :laugh:

I bought some RBA wire and mesh previously... got the mesh shipped from the UK actually :p But I gave it away because I can't see all that well. TBH it is a hit and miss with me trying to use a needle tipped juice bottle to refill a Vivi tank by finding the hole LOL

I haven't sanded any PVs, but it sounds like a good idea for a harder hit. I've dropped from about half a pack to 1-2 cigs a day with lighting up, putting it out, lighting and putting it out. I am not feeling too well these last 2 days. It's like all of the impurities are coming out, face breaking out, sick to my stomach, lymph nodes swelling, and irritable... I am glad that tomorrow is Friday because I am really beat... actually my schedule just changed, so I am on 9 hr days Tue - Friday and then 1PM - 5PM on Saturday... I forgot that I have to work on Saturday :'( Oh well, I'll make it!

I've tried mesh myself a few times and to be honest, I just don't like the taste of it. I've tried straight mesh, silica and mesh hybrids, cotton and mesh hybrids and even cotton with mesh bootlaces. The mesh to me seems to give a metallic taste no matter what I do - so I've given up on it :(

Any connector in a mod that is made from brass does hit a lot harder when sanded down a bit. It gives better conductivity when the brass is clean, so you get more voltage coming through, it's an easy job to do to get maximum power from a mod :D

Sounds like you've got a busy schedule coming up then Lisa, I feel you're pain :cry:

Hope you manage to stick with vaping. I had a lot of the symptoms myself when I first cut out the smokes. Felt irritable, dry skin, sore throat, minor nose bleeds. I even had a bad case of the flu that laid me up in bed for a few days. But believe me, It's definitely worth it, I feel 100% better now :thumbs:

Oy Terry you gone AWOL mate. I know what will tempt you out - another update :laugh:

Got my 8 new juices from vapology today. I'm resisting the urge to vape them, cos they need some steeping time. They do smell amazing though :thumbs:

Right off to have a play with the bagua.

Morning! I've just got a couple of days left, so I'll make it =] I am going to push myself when I get off of work on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to avoid the cigarettes for the full 3 days. It'll only be Emmy and I here, so no feelings to hurt if I get snappy :p Tommy's gone off to spend a week of vacation with his GF, so I'll have the place to myself =]

I wish I already had the new mechs in from FT, but those will have to wait for another weekend :/ I've got plenty of PVs to play with, so no real problems switching out to different things.

It took 5 days from the day I put my order in to the time I got a shipment confirmation. They did state that one item I ordered would be shipping separately...

Products are typically shipped in a separate package because of one or more of the following reasons:

- Some items was displayed as "ships in X days" when ordering and thus they cannot be shipped promptly
- Some of the items were rejected during pre-shipment QC check, and we're acquiring new supplies from suppliers
- The items' distributors have missed their supply schedule and thus we did not have enough stock to fulfill your order

Placed my order Wednesday about 9.15am, Uk time.

Status is still Order Received.

How long do they normal take to get the parcel out the door?

it might be because I got 21 items. :p

The best thing to do with FT is to put everything you want into your wishlist. Then go through them all and order everything that's in stock in one order. Everything that ships in 1 day in another order. Everything that ships in 3 days in another order - you get the idea.

The problem is, you can have 20 items in stock and 1 item that ships in 10 days. This can hold things up a lot. Usually FT will split up orders though and post out what they already have in stock, they've done that with me.

Best advice I can give is don't order huge amounts each time, split your orders up, it is free postage after all.

Is it morning there Lisa, it's mid afternoon here :laugh:

Just hold in there, a couple of days will fly by and you'll soon be able to do some chain vaping.

No sign of Terry, wonder what the old goat is up to :laugh:

Well I've been a bad boy again today. Just placed order no 13 or 14 (past the point of counting now), with FT :facepalm: I was in on a co-op for a couple of new mods, but the moderators have brought in new rules restricting co-ops for blatant cloned products. I was going to get another bagua in brass and a chi-you, but now I can't. So been doing some research on the FT chi-you and I've just ordered the stainless one with lazer etching - it looks like it's the hcigar model which gets good reviews.

This is definitely my last bling order for a while, well at least today anyway :oops:

Like I said, the best way is a little and often with FT. You'll soon be able to see a picture of your parcel on the website. They always post a picture to prove the order is ready for shipping, which is nice touch. But with the size of your order, it will probably come in a shipping container :laugh:

Can I ask what you ordered from them, we might be able to give you a review.

Yes mate, i just sanded the battery contacts. I think you would struggle with the atty head cos of the threads. the best way to sand down the top tube contact, is to get some sandpaper on the eraser end of a pencil and do it that way, its fiddly but can be done.
