During my browsing i noticed another site alongside fast tech and vapor break... It's called 'Chinabuye' - Dont know if anyone has used it?

Anyway, i happened to come across it and saw what looks like a kayfun clone;

Ufs v3 6.0ML Rebuildable Stainless Steel Electronic Cigarette Atomizer Kit

look any good? and at £30 is it cheap enough to risk it anyway?

Whilst looking for these kind of things i inevitably found a fraud site warning about various chinese online retailers and this was on the list. I couldnt help laughing at one guys post on the forum of this fraud site though, he was enraged because he had been defrauded of several hundred dollars on not 1, not 2, but 5 different occassions (for things like pioneer stereos and acer laptops at bargain prices). It's certainly possible that i may get stung at some point, might even happen again, but 5! lol:oops:

I have used ChinaBuye and HealthCabin as well. In my opinion, Fasttech has more selection & better prices MOST of the time, but I still order M3s from HealthCabin because they are discontinued and unavailable elsewhere.

Cheers for the info Lisa :)

I might wait a bit to see what happens to a) my fast tech order & b) what is going on with other peoples orders/waiting times before i order anything else from China.

I need to slow down with the amount of vape supplies i am buying for now anyway... I've got enough to last me until the end of this year easily, if not longer...... but on the other hand some mods & atties are soooo nice and shiny... who am i to resist :p

I've gotten several new PVs, toppers, and more juice in recently, so I am done for a long while =] Since I have found that I adore the Protanks with their magnificent flavor and already ordered replacement heads, I've pulled the trigger on a pack, two different packs actually :/ I've also ordered a bit of FT juice that I intend to let steep in the months it takes to get here LOL

God willing, that'll be it for me for awhile as I enjoy my new PVs and toppers =]

Update on the Yautja Thwei flavour, and dont know why i didnt think of this before, but the taste is very absinthe like (without the alcohol obviously).

I used to drink absinthe now and then - the proper stuff thats 70% alcohol with the thujone in it. Tastes pretty harsh and at £129 for a 70cl bottle its certainly not cheap, but god, that stuff is strong!!

To be honest mate, it looks more like a lengthened ithaka clone. But they don't show the coil set up, so that might be different. But from the tank upwards it's pure ithaka clone.

I wouldn't buy it though. If you look at the last picture on the box it says "together best co-operation". So it's a tobeco product, wouldn't touch them with a barge pole :nah:

Certainly looks decent... might have to make that my first mech :)

That's enough for me to forget it! I'll look out for this tobeco in future. Have you had bad experience of their products before or are they just generally known to be poor?

so whats the difference vape wise, between silica and ekowool ? is it a massive difference. I was just going to order some, but thought i would ask first.

The ekowool does fray quite easily so you need to torch the ends a bit when you use it. I've heard people say it's almost indistructable, so in theory it should last a long time with regular cleaning. It wicks better than silica, has a cleaner taste to me, no dry hits. I do prefer it over silica. Not as much as cotton though ;)

If you get the hollow stuff it does expand when you cut a piece to wick. I've had the same eko wick in my KFL since I bought it, still tastes as good today.

I've not had any tobeco products myself, but all the pros on here slate them. With the co-ops I go in for, everyone says "I'm in as long as it's not a tobeco product". They have produced a couple of good items, but 95% are cr*p.

I'll try to stop browsing for these things and get my car booked in for a service instead then the money has been spent on something sensible!

So would you say go for the hollow or normal mate ?

I've only got the hollow Terry, so I can't really comment on the other stuff. One day, I'm gonna try and put some cotton inside the hollow eko, might be hard to do but I'll give it a try.
