Used FT and won't be again 23 days and waiting with no Tracking number on an SVD that now can be got for an extra £9 next day in UK also most of there stuff is cheaper due to being clones to which they don't deny.

Now you should play nice.

FT offered you a cheap price and you went for it.

Wait.

23 days is junior league imho.

The price you pay for cheap is patience.

I agree,

It is the prices what make FT so appealing to us all, And if you do a bit of homework you can see that they can be a bit hap-hazard when it comes to delivery times.

I have on two occasions had to wait over a month for my orders, but i did get them. Patience is everything when shopping with them.

E pipeman - you a Salford boy? That's me hometown!

Ian - Fizzy Trifle is by TripHammer and available direct from him or through Vape Escape, Codz raves on about for good reason! Best juice ever!

Terry - I'd be chuffed to bits if my other half bought me thermal under crackers now this weathers turned!

Lisa/Ian - I want a spare Pyrex tank and centre post, 10 stoppers, 2 big screws and if the bag of spares are o rings and that I'd like 2 bags. Can you let me know how much with or without shipping and who to PayPal? I figured be max £1.20 for posting when we split the goods Ian so if you want to take my monies with UK postage and forward onto Lisa with yours, she can ship to you then you to me (hate that, reminds me of chuckle brothers!) or the other way round :)

I've decided to go for 4 Panasonic from FT and grab 2 efest 18650's in case batteries of got go before they arrive.
I never found UltraFire or Trustfire batts to live long, but I've only had 18650's not the 350's.
I'm gonna grab a couple egos and stock up on cartos too - proper took a liking to them Terry :) - intending for stealth vape but I got a feel I'll bling them out if vamo turns out well!

Catch you's tomorrow I'm on night duty escorting my poorly 3 year old back to bed every 10 mins! :(

Mmmmmmmmmm, do let me know if you're lacking ebooks.

I'll look back over the thread to see if I missed Ian's items this weekend... I need to make sure there's only one center post and not two on the site LOL

Are you both positive that you don't want to wait for the nuts to come in?

Once I make a list and get it squared, I'll get it ordered straight away and in the post... hopefully beat the holiday shippers =]

Well, I was cleaning some of my newest toppers and this 'rubber stopper' is in several of them. If you do not unscrew the top properly, this rubber stopper tears and becomes rubber tube and rubber washer - as it had done with my AGA T2 previously :/ I'll be getting quite a few of those LOL

The wife got my prezzie last week,

A three pack of thermal sock`s, some new under cracker`s, and a pair of thermal long john`s. well at least i will be warm, I just need to see if i can borrow a couple of lumps of coal, from a christian neighbour and all will be good.:p

Those are the sort of things I used to sell in my shop mate (not the coal though obviously) :p

Now you should play nice.

Very true mate, very true. All anyone needs to do is a bit of homework first. That's why this thread is so LLLOOOONNNNGGGG, we're all sat here chatting waiting for our FT orders to arrive :laugh:

Thanks Claire, I've got Triphammer saved in my faves now.

I've updated the PM from Lisa with the bits I could do with. Once Lisa has worked out the order with the full postage, we can just send her a paypal payment for our separate orders and split the postage/packing cost between us. When you pay with Paypal you have the option of paying the fees, if we just make sure we tick that box then Lisa won't be charged any nasty extras. I think that's probably the easiest way to do it. I don't mind sending the stuff on to you, when it arrives - call it a Christmas prezzy, the postage won't be much in the UK and I've already got loads of spare padded envelopes from vape mail (I always keep a few to recycle) :)

Just be careful with the battery ordering Claire, some batteries from FT are getting returned - just make sure you use the right shipping method. Hope you managed to get some sleep.

Thanks again for this Lisa. I've updated the PM for myself and Claire.

I'm ok for nuts, I'm nutty enough as it is ;)

My aga did start to leak a very small amount from the rubber stopper on the 510 connector too, think this must be the weak point on the aga build. But with these spares, we should all be vaping away for the next few years :D

Even though I've got 3 RSSTs, I've still ordered a couple of bits, so I'm set up for a long time with this too :thumbs:

Thanks again Lisa :angel:

Just so you know, Today FT cancelled and refunded my account for a battery order placed Nov 19th. I used their 'preferred' shipping method (Speedpost Global Express), and paid extra shipping, but today they claim that lithium batteries cannot ship this way.

Looks like they are still having trouble with shipping batts

Cool Ian, I'll tot up my order and check it's right with Lisa - will exchange rate be an issue at all? I don't wanna leave her short. Will tick the box regards fees and I'll PM you my address when the bits have got to you - I never think of saving stuff like packaging, probably cos I try and intercept the post half the time and feign innocence that I've had stuff ages when he who doesn't vape but likes playing with my gear spy's new bits in my box!
Was up and down with little dude like a yo-yo last night, I can't have caffeine and I'm trying to get the motivation to get up and recoil my Aga, the other half hasn't learnt how to do it to my standards for me yet!
Joys of motherhood!
I may not get the batts from FT then, I don't mind waiting but if there still having trouble getting batteries through I think I'll just spend a little more and get them here.
Luckily me and the other half both have our businesses, his being mechanical design engineering and manufacture so he'll be able to get me some brass m2 nuts from somewhere and if not he can make me some out of ss!
I keep badgering him to make me a bespoke topper.
Might go get some thermal undies and only wear them and long johns til he does ha ha.

That's a real bummer mate, especially after you used their preferred shipping. It seems the shipping problems are changing on a daily basis with regard to "banned" products. Wonder how long before, USA & UK businesses start getting low on their battery stocks (bought direct from China) :(

There shouldn't be any problems with the exchange rate Claire, it's calculated at the time you make the payment. Plus we can just round the amount up to the nearest dollar to make life easier :)
I'm lucky with the Wife working nights, she never sees the postman, problem solved. But she is supposed to be going onto days before Xmas, just hope all my gear arrives before then :laugh:

Your Hubby could make you a one-off mod then Claire, or maybe just design you one ;) I've always wanted a custom made mod, even played with the idea of getting an engraving set and having a go on my tube mods. But knowing me I'd probably ruin them.

I've been busy today:

Re-coiled the REO/Rm2 with a 2mm mini coil and ekowool
Re-coiled 5 Evods - some with ribbon/ekowool and some with micro's and cotton
Also did a couple of Novas with ribbon micro's and cotton.

All between 1.0 and 2.0 ohms.

Claire & Ian: Well, I've got all bits that are in stock ordered, as quick as that =] I've put myself on a waiting list, so you'll see this in PM. I'm just grateful to have finally found a shop that carries these bits and pieces!

Nothing much for me today, a few hours of work a bit later and then back to watch my vape shows. I hate to say that they pump up some of these vendor juices and I order to find they are not appealing at all :/ I'll stick to my own preferred juice vendors from now on and TRY not to be led by the rest of the sheep :p

Now on to FastTech... has anyone noticed THIS

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1/10006827/1539500-wlxy-p-600b-detachable-mini-electric-drill

Aw, no big deal for me. Just means I have to get them closer to home :).Just cost a little more, but hey "you get what you pay for" right Lisa? LOL.

I have wondered how this will effect retail stock too

You're like lightning Lisa ;)

To be honest the only juice reviews I really listen to now are from Todd and the good people on this forum. I know taste is subjective, but a lot of the time I think some of the reviews can be a bit biased - after all their getting the stuff for free and they don't want to upset the supplier. Or is that just me being cynical :p

You can customize your mods with that drill too Lisa, couple of Chinese dragons and the star spangled banner would look great :laugh:

Well as soon as prices closer to home start rising, you know it's time to stock up. Or maybe we could all get together and send Terry over to China on a slow boat to pick us some up :laugh:

Heh! Too true, Ranger :p

One of you mechanical minded men look at this drill and see if it has the potential to drill out a hole in a topper :p

If its an aluminium topper I'd say yes just about. But if it's a stainless steel topper, I'd say no way. If I drill out airholes, I normally use a normal household drill but use a decent drill bit. Gradually step up on bit sizes until I get the size I'm after.

Anyway, time for some food for me, back later :)

I did look at that. It could work just fine. Just remember if you are drilling stainless, you may need a better drill bit (those may be too soft). Also stainless is so hard that one will need to 'cool' the bit as you drill (oil, lubricant, etc), and run it slow. Any other metal should be ok :)

It's hard to say what one will get, but the drill itself would probably do well. In my experience with bundle packs like this, the drill bits aren't the best always (cheap)

Doesn't your Hubby have tools like this you could 'borrow'? He may not even notice it gone. lol

Just be careful when drilling anything. It's always best to wear safety glasses too
