I think you are right =] Let me get tired of these first :p Then there may be something brand new and CHEAPER out of FT :p

LOl yeah,

I have got seven pv`s with one on the way, I am set for a very long time now. The thing is, It becomes a Hobby and you find yourself buying stuff you don`t even need. After all you can only vape one at a time.:)

Now something has just happened which is really weird.

I put the afore mentiond tank on my kts, and it works great. I had it on my tvs origianally, put the other X9 on my tvs, and they are both fine ??????????? I really don`t know how its happened, the only thing i can think of is there may have been a bit of a blockage and it has worked it`s way through.:confused:

Terry, I'm using the airflow controller on the Private with the X9, does make a big difference mate. All my other mods, work fine with the X9's - just not the Private. Like Lisa said, it's probably just the airholes in the 510 connector being low.

I haven't taken my Sentinel or TVS out of the house yet... I think the incoming Magneto will be my out and about PV to give my Bolt a break. I admit that I am really developing a preference for the bottom firing button on the TVS... the button that is flush that you push in to fire, not necessarily the firing button that sticks out a bit. I do love the Sentinel, but I just prefer the TVS' button more. I am a bit shocked at the quality of the vape with these PVs... Previously only the VV/VWs gave me a comparable vape or the Silver Bullet, which is quite a bit larger for me to be carrying around or holding for long periods of time. Overall, I am quite satisfied with them, even with the Sentinel thread issue or the Sentinel button needing to be screwed in better at arrival. Pretty darned good products as far as I am concerned.

Now, the Protank is a bit different :/ I got 2 and one does not have 510 threads, so it is worthless to me. I reported this and stated that the threads were NOT 510 and that I was able to get an 808/901 adapter to fit the threads. They responded and said 'good to hear that worked out for you' and I rejoined with 'It did NOT work, the item is NOT 510 threaded and does NOT work, even with the adapter'. Not such an issue for me TBH, I have gotten cracked clearos shipped to me and just tossed them and added the vendor to my blacklist... but with FT I expect a bit more of a response when they get around to it.

If you like that type of button that's flush before you fire it, you'd love the GP Paps. In fact the button is slightly recessed even before you fire it. Even when it's unlocked it can be stood up without firing. Also the throw on the switch is only about 1-2mm, it's almost like a touch sensor. Really easy to operate, I fire it with my finger joint. The only problem is, their hard to get hold of and quite a bit more expensive than FT. I bought mine as a treat, it never leaves the house and gets treated like royalty :D

Sounds like FT customer services are having a spell of "chinglish" - wonder if their getting a lot of e-mails over shipping issues at the moment. I'd keep at it though. When I contacted them about an issue with the Ithaka, I went into a huge amount of detail and they were great with their reply. So maybe it's a case of lost in translation.

Mmmm, I have actually been rotating 3 PVs at a sitting and holding one in each hand :/ I am torn between the higher nic of my new juices and the flavor of my older, steeped, lower nic juices. I hope to rectify the situation this weekend by pulling my nic out of the freezer and add some to the lower nic juices =]

Since I haven't said it yet, HAVE A MAGNIFICENT WEEKEND! I've still got Saturday to work, but I am feeling magnificent with this new Red Licorice I've been sneaking =] It's not a *pow* flavor that I typically prefer, the sweet, sour, tart flavors... it's a very smooth red licorice flavor, actually after I vaped it I had to race out and buy some real red licorice candy :p TBH, the juice is better than the true candy :/ We've had new supervisors assigned and I ADORE mine :p I've known her for YEARS and interviewed her for her 1st job at the uni so many years ago :p Once the eGos come in, she'll be getting a nice set and a choice of good juice from me as well =]

yes i have found the culprit was my tvs mate,

It must be choking the airhole, when screwed down, as soon as i put it on my kts it worked fine. I have now got an evod on the tvs with a ego connector, and it is fine.

It is as though some tanks just don`t work well with some pv`s.

Hope you have a great weekend too. I'm working Saturday as well, worst luck.

As my liqua menthol from fast tech is likely to be delayed or even returned I've had to console myself and spend £100 on some other juices - i thought this vaping malarkey was supposed to be saving me money! :blink:

LOL, well i don`t know how long you have been vaping codz, but it can be a bit expensive at first. As soon as you have buillt up a nice arsenal of pv`s, your costs will lower significantly.

I would imagine that 100 quids worth of juice will last you quite a while.

Yeah it's weird mate, I've found the same thing. I've also found that some tanks are better for certain juices than others.

Yeah, when it gets here i should have enough to last until the end of this year, although if the 10ml sample bottles from joose-juice are good then I'll get in an order for the flavours i've got in 30ml bottles whilst the BOGOF is still on.

I've only been vaping for about 8 months all told, and only 2 and a half months of those exclusively - I'd used crappy disposables & 10 motives PCC kit up until the end of June.

I'm already feeling the need for a Provari, a Ba Gua, and some other bits and bats before Christmas. I hope you are right about the costs reducing though - I'm just useless at buying things i dont really need, but they look good. I spent a grand on a cannondale mountain bike last year which i've hardly used (although i plan to, honest!)

Well a provari with a lifetime warrany should do you fine mate, with a ba-gua as a secondary device you will be good to go.:toast:

One 30ml bottle of Patriot Orange Candy from TW, which when you take postage into account is £19 - horrendous!

& the rest from Vapist.net - i'd tried 3 10ml bottles from there and they seem a cut above any others i have tried.

They've got some decent juices on vapist. The titanium bagua they have is really sexy, if I didn't already have a decent bagua clone, I really would be tempted by the titanium one.

I'd recommend vapology for decent quality juices too.

Just sell the mountain bike and buy more mods, problem solved :laugh:

I didnt know they had a lifetime warranty too :ohmy: I've GOT to get one now! And i want to give mechs a try too. I've got an evic, which i am happy with, but then it looks so nice when you have a line up of mods set in their own little cabinet :p I'm thinking the ba gua would be good in a smaller size than the evic for taking out instead of making do with the vgos i have got now.

Nooo, dont tempt me on the bike, thats gonna be my salvation (one day). I saw that titanium ba gua, looking nice, but its double the price so cant really justify it. did you get your clone off fast tech? would you recommend it? I would definitely consider getting a clone first to see if i really am going to use it much.

Edit: Just noticed you have a GP PAPS in your signature, they look great too, how does that compare to the ba gua clone?

Terry's got the FT bagua. I got mine from a co-op buy on here. Their both slightly different, but both are excellent mods.

To be honest my GP Paps is the best mod I've ever bought. It's tiny but it hits like a train. It did cost about 4 times as much as the bagua, but you can really tell the difference in build quality. If I had only ever bought clones, I'd be happy with them. But having a genuine mod, you can definitely tell the difference.

I'm just looking at that GP PAPS v2.5 lux for £110 on vapist - looks like a quality bit of engineering. Of course, i would need to get that salt and pepper tank to go with it! The problem is i keep justifying all these buys because i was spending £250 - £300 per month on analogs. I guess there are loads of us out there that think the same way too, and to be fair, if it keeps us off the analogs then it's worth it :)
