Titanium tips should work fine too, as long as their nice and sharp. I was a bit dubious the first time I tried it, but the metal on most toppers is fairly thin - so it's pretty easy really. I do love tinering with stuff though. If I can take something apart, fiddle with it and get it to work better I'm a happy bunny :D washing machines, car engines, the more complicated the better :laugh:

Update: haven't done the AGA yet but today i received an IGO-W4 in the post, it was so easy to build, only single coil at first to see how it went, but the holes were tiny, so I got my Dremel lookalike out, and enlarged them to 1.3mm, boy what a difference, dripping with Colonel Custard from T juice, still waiting for the Chefs Vapours and Alchemists Cupboard juices to finish steeping.

Wow that is expensive
As you are UK based, I bought two Nautilus tanks & ten atty heads for £57.48 including registered post from MyEpack. The Nautilus tanks are only £19.99 each. They are massively cheaper than anyone else. I've used them before, all their stuff is brand name & the Nautilus stuff all have the appropriate scratch panels to prove authenticity on the Aspirecig website. I got it the day after ordering too.

Typical! i thought i checked myepack, but must have missed them :( Not to worry though, if i get another then i'll order off them :)

Anyone here in the UK received anything from FT yet that was despatched around the middle of March, still waiting for mine, I've ended up cancelling the KFL, the Chi You Copper one has gone back to restocking again, so they are sending everything else and Chi You will be sent separately.
I ordered on March the 22nd & I received it today. I used Singapore Post registered & it was delivered by Royal Mail at this end.

If you order Atty heads it is cheaper if you order more than five. It is £1.99 each or £1.75 each if you order more than five.

Hey all - hope you are all well :)

Time for an update from me as i havent been on here for a while...

FT order finally arrived today, it's just a couple of bottles of Liqua Berry Mix but i have been looking forward to trying it as it's another cheap liquid to balance out my more expensive ones.

Speaking of expensive liquids i got around to vaping some of the Epic Wake n Vape from Spiritus the other day. It's a VERY strong coffee flavour and has a hint of CLS to it. Imagine a stronger version of Vapology Cappucino with some CLS mixed in and you have wake n vape! For me, it's too strong for an ADV, but nice to dip in and have a bit now and then. It's very thick and dark so is likely to clog up your attys pretty quickly too. I also have the suicide bunny sucker punch waiting to be vaped - i took the lid off yesterday, and the smell is amazing - something along the lines of dragonfruit & cream, it smells divine and i'll be trying it out some time soon.

In terms of hardware i bought the aspire nautilus from C9V last week. I shopped around a bit but all the vendors i looked at seemed around the same price and most were out of stock so i bought it from C9V with a pack of 5 replacement heads at 1.8ohms. Add delivery costs and it was £44. I've only used it for about 5 days and have only had 1 juice in it so far so i am reluctant to say too much about it, but so far, so good. I havent tried PT3s or aerotanks yet so can only compare it to a PT2 and it is a hell of a lot better. It's dual coil, holds 5ml and has 4 different air holes, which you can select by rotating a ring on the bottom of the tank. So far there has been no leaking at all (i was concerned there might be as i have read reports of this, but not a drip thus far). I havent had a dry hit off it either, although i do take one or two priming puffs now and then just to keep them at bay. The heads themselves dont have any wick protruding and i am guessing that the wick sucks up the juice through a couple of small holes in the base of the head unit. Easy to use, easy to fill, and excellent flavour & vapour. Not up to the standard of a KFL, etc but not as far off as you might think.

edit: I'll also mention that C9V threw in a vapeonly bottom coil plastic clearo with my order. It's the type where you just push the head down into a washer to seal it rather than screwing it in. I've previously used a tank like this before and didnt like it much - too leaky, too tight a draw, and flavour is too muted. Unfortunately, this clearo is the same as the one i tried when i first moved up from VGO2 batteries. It hasnt leaked yet, but it mutes the flavour a lot, gives lots of dry hits and a tight draw. I'm not complaining as it was free after all, but it's not something i will be using again.

I'm hoping the naultilus wont leak and keeps performing well over the next week or two then i am going to order another which will open the door for me to sign up to zamplebox as i will use the nautilus' for those juices and my cartos plus the sofia & KFL for others.

Well that berry mix took a while mate. It is a very nice vape though. I'll have to give the wake and vape a try next time, sounds like my type of juice. I like really strong flavours. I didn't order it before cos I had the vapology cappuccino, but I'll be trying it at some point.

I've seen some good reviews for the Nautilus, I think it was Phil that raved about it. The double coil design is a great idea, glad you're happy with it. I saw on the zamplebox thread that you'd ordered, it will be good to see what juices you get. Did you manage to do a flavour profile with them ??

Any more joy with the aga and the Kayfun Cody ??

Update: haven't done the AGA yet but today i received an IGO-W4 in the post, it was so easy to build, only single coil at first to see how it went, but the holes were tiny, so I got my Dremel lookalike out, and enlarged them to 1.3mm, boy what a difference, dripping with Colonel Custard from T Juice, still waiting for the Chefs Vapours and Alchemists Cupboard juices to finish steeping.

It does make a big difference drilling out the airhole Bob. If you found it easy to do on the Igo, the aga should be almost as easy.

I got vape mail today

:rickroll::rickroll:

Thanks to my good friend Terry, I've got 4 new flavours to try. They all smell great Terry. So I'll be doing some dripping this weekend, can't wait :D

Plus my steamgunk order has arrived. I've got plenty of strawberry cream tart and lemon meringue pie to last a while now - went for a 50/50 mix this time instead.

My FT order with the Kayfun is now in packing and the order from triphammer has now been shipped :) So hopefully even more vape mail tomorrow for me.

I think mine are on the same hang glider or maybe one wing carrier pigeon :laugh:

Pretty sure I'll enjoy the juices Terry. I'll vape dry a few tanks before weekend too, so I can get the full effect.

I've not really added much to my FT wishlist recently, nothing really grabs me at the moment. I'll soon have another $10 voucher though, so I'll have to order something ;)

Hi T1000

I havn't been on the forum much over the last few months.

How did you get on with the Reo, are you still using it ?

It's going great thanks mate. The Reo has it's own dedicated juice now, cappuccino from vapology. It's a real coil gunker, so with it being that easy to re-wick the Reo, I just keep the one juice in it. Great in the morning with a cuppa :D

Have you been enjoying the Mercedes domination on F1 Paul ?? Some great racing going on at the moment with Hamilton and Rosberg :) Even if the engines are too quiet.

I am loving the season so far T, the engines are quiet but I love the low revving torquey sound.

I am a big Lewis and Nico fan so its all good at the mo.

I am still stuck on my REO, havn't used anythng else since getting it a long time ago, agree about juice gunking though.

I climbed Kilimanjaro 2 weeks ago with 11 friends and the Reo got me through the hole climb apart from the last day after my 5 18650's that i took with me gave up.

I am pretty much the same ian, when my next two orders arrive i think i will be done then untill i really NEED anything. Then it will probably only be batteries, which i will buy over here.

It does make a big difference drilling out the airhole Bob. If you found it easy to do on the Igo, the aga should be almost as easy.

You get to pick which nic content you want - there are only 3 options, but lucky for me one of them is 18mg and thats my usual level, so it's ideal. You then answer a series of questions which i assume they use in deciding which kind of juices you like. the firswt question is if you were stuck on a desert island which one flavour would you want and the choices are fruit, menthol/mint, candy, tobacco, dessert. After you have selected one they then ask if you like each of the others and what sort of PG/VG blend you prefer if any - i went for approx 50/50 mixes but there were a good few chioces.

The KFL and the AGA are taking a bit of a backseat at the moment - i do keep having a go at getting a decent coil on them and it's hit and miss. the coils themselves are no problem, it's just getting them on and making them stay put! I still need to get myself a blow torch and some cotton to try that. The AGA seems to cause me more problems than the KFL, i'm not keen on the vertical wick idea. In a way it's good though as i tend to look on it as a bit of a treat when i get them working properly whereas if i got them right all the time there is a good chance i would be off hunting for more toppers and would probably be looking to get a hybrid.

It's going great thanks mate. The Reo has it's own dedicated juice now, cappuccino from vapology. It's a real coil gunker, so with it being that easy to re-wick the Reo, I just keep the one juice in it. Great in the morning with a cuppa :D

I'm enjoying the new season too - didnt think i was going to be too interested after seeing what the changes involved, but it's worked out well. I have nothing against either red bull or their drivers, but it's good that these new regs have stopped Vettel winning everything! Raikkonen is my favourite driver so i'd like to see him doing better if Ferrari get their act together.

I ordered on March the 22nd & I received it today. I used Singapore Post registered & it was delivered by Royal Mail at this end.

Ordered 22nd, or despatched 22nd, mine ordered early March and shown as despatched to UK on SGP on 16th have still not arrived, I think HMRC are taking the PI**

Edit: Spoke too soon, 3 parcels despatched 16/03 - The bulkiest No.3 just arrived, so hopefully the other 2 will arrive later today with the normal delivery.

The order i received yesterday was dispatched on the 8th March.

It was an order that FT got wrong - i received the original order on 3rd March and the order was originally placed on the 30th January. 68 days in total from order placement to receipt of goods. They were closed for Chinese new year for a few of those days and as it had to be re-dispatched it took double the time. I've never had anything that has taken less than 4 weeks. 4 - 5 weeks seems to be the norm for my orders regardless of what the tracking says. I dont have much faith in that tracking - its says nothing for a couple of weeks, then says dispatched to overseas (GB) for a week or two and by the time it says something like received overseas i generally get it within a week. I've tried the Quantium tracking site, but that's hit and miss.

Apologies, I've rechecked & it was ordered on the 21st & dispatched on the 22nd. Glad you got your first parcel, I'm waiting on others too.

Well after waiting 11 days from my orders leaving china, I have to say Yee Haaaaa They arrived this morning. The nemmy tubes are perfect, and the mixture of brass top and bottom caps and black tube with a chrome russian on top looks bloody fantastic. I will post a pic when i have cleaned and coiled the russians.

Probably be tomorrow,cos at the minute i am giving them a good soak. :D

Hey all, so, alleviate my concerns here. I made an order on the 22nd of Feb., which sat in stasis for a bit, but was eventually split into two orders. First order was sent to me via Malaysia Post on the 11th of March. Second part of the order was sent on the 24th. The first part (and majority of my order) has yet to show up in my mailbox or in the states according to tracking. The second part hit L.A. yesterday. There are no batteries in this order, just some caps and effluvia, around $35 worth of miscellany.

Should I be worried or should I just wait for the dolphin they taped the first part of my order to to find it's way to the City of Angels?
