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.

Lewis is my no1 driver too. He definitely made the right move going to Mercedes, their in a different league to everyone else at the moment.

That's some achievement mate climbing Kilimanjaro. Did you do it as a charity event, with sponsorship ??

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's ok ordering batteries from FT Terry, just order them separately and they'll post them by a different carrier. Mine came through no problems at all mate.

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.



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.

Sounds like you can be pretty certain to get the type of juices you'll enjoy then Cody. Must admit I am tempted, but my juice supply is growing again now, must resist :laugh:

I honestly don't think you'll get bored with the aga and the Kayfun when their set up right. There's still things I want to try on mine, that I haven't done yet. I've tried dual coils in the aga. But I still want to try duals in the Kayfun. Vertical dragon builds in the Kayfun as well as twisted wire coils.

I'm loving the F1 this year, never been a Vettel fan, so it's great to see someone else spraying the bubbly :laugh: I can cope with the quieter engines, I'm getting used to the sound now and enjoying the racing more.

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

It will be good to see the pics Terry. Sounds like they will look great together. Are the Russians the same width as the nemmy tubes too mate ??

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?

I wouldn't worry just yet. The carriers FT use are hopeless, but your orders do arrive eventually. The tracking site is next to useless, you'll probably have your new toys in your hands before the tracking says "arrived in the country"

More vape mail for me today, I'm a happy bunny :D

3 lots arrived today:

Juice order from vapology - 50ml cappuccino, 30ml pear and blackberry honey drizzle and 10ml strawberry and blackberry chocolate.

Juice order from Triphammer - 30ml jelly babies and 30ml white gems.

FT order for the Aios and my new fogger tank arrived too.

So the Aios is now soaking after a good wash. I think I'll be drilling out the airholes at some point though, cos their tiny. But I'll try it as standard first though. It looks great on the chi you, so that will get some more use now. The Aios also fits on my spare caravela tube that I got from the co-op buy months ago, if I can find a switch that fits too that would be even better.

My juice box is getting pretty full again now :D

----------------------------------------

So now, just waiting on the last FT order (that's still in packaging), the juice order from Zeus juice and my drip tips order.

Looks great mate. You just need a brass drip tip for the Russian now :p

Seriously though, it does look great as a set up. Good size to in 18350 mode.

Hope it vapes as good as it looks mate :D

I'll probably have disappeared by the time you come back. Been up since 4.30 am so I'm a bit knackered, plus I've got a 12 hour day tomorrow :(

I'll look for your update tomorrow, see you later mate.

Ah, thanks. Good to know. I didn't use Malaysia Post last time, so was curious. The tracking service they use is wonky as wonky gets.

Well so far, all my orders have taken 3-8 weeks to arrive. I think there's no priority with the mail system, sometimes a package will slip through Chinese customs quickly. Other times it gets stuck for a few extra days, so it's hard to predict when it will arrive. Psychic ability would be a bonus with FT orders :laugh:

Night mate,

Well what a bleeding runaround i had with the russians and the nemmy. Ok i got them both coiled and coming in @ 1.2-1.4 0hms. Put a cotton wick in the first and thought hmm what shall i fill it with ? bugger it lets try some of the fizzy trifle.

Filled up and the juice was pi**ing out of the air hole, i managed to open it up and drain the juice out then i thought it must be the way i filled it (upside down method). So i re-filled using the fill hole, and no leaks at all.

Now on to the fizzy trifle. I have to say i am not getting much of anything flavour wise, maybe a hint of strawberry but thats all so i will put this away to steep for a while longer i think. In fairness i have only had it a couple of days and that is the amount of patience i have got NIL LOL.

Anyways, on to the nemmy. put a battery in, test fired the second russian and got nothing. put it on two different mods and it was firing ??? so i checked all the conections in the nemmy, top and bottom and nothing - she just refused to fire up this atty.

Then i put a nipple top battery in and bingo, lighting up lovely. This has got me confused though, with my 18350 flat tops, if they are a little short i just put a rare earth magnet on-sometimes 2, and everything is fine. Any ideas people. ???

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.

Postie in van came back later with parcel 2, followed by normal post with parcel 1, as for tracking, by rights once it has cleared customs it should show up on RM Tracking, but even after I had signed for them, none of them were showing, with SGP all I ever see is the received from FT and despatched to GB, never seen received overseas. Well at least I have a couple of new toys to play with, a Stingray Mixed Edition, Purple Zmax Mini, K100 and Sentinel S1000, also a Fooger v3 (has T Juice Colonel Custard in it) and a RSST, that should keep me occupied for a few weeks, next one due to ship today :vapor:

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.

Other 2 arrived okay, now have 5 outstanding, 2 from USA, 1 from CP, and 2 more (not FT) via SGP plus 3 waiting shipping from FT

Looks like HMRC released everything at once, and we're all getting our presents, my Nemmy is still on it's way along with the blue tubes, the black tubes are still waiting to ship but should go out today along with the Russian. Liked the way the Fogger was set up and ready to go, looks like mesh with silica inside and 32awg, came out as 0.9 ohms and living up to it's name :vapor:

They are like that everytime i take a look bob, gave up on them in the end.

In other news, i really struggled to get the second russian firing, I tried bloody everything. Stipped it down and re-coiled, still nothing, on any mod i put it on.

Then i remembered when it arrived the positive post was loose, so i tightened it up real good. Anyway i loosened it off by about half a turn and guess what ?? yep firing up just fine. I just don`t understand it though, Is that what they mean by adjustable 510 connection ??

If it is, then they don`t tell you that it will loosen your positive block. A heads up for you bob for when your`s arrives.

Thanks for that, will keep it in mind, had a wee problem with the Fogger, 'twas leaking, so went to take it off the Paps and couldn't, stuck tight, got the Adjustable wrenches out, got it off but bent the base of the fogger (where the big o-ring goes), managed to straighten it out with a screwdriver, just a minor mark on the outside, and found the answer to why it was leaking on here, so sorted that.

Been trying out my Chef's Vapours and the Strix Elixirs which arrived from USA yesterday, and loved all but one:
CVs Honey & Lemon Menthol is definitely one for only when you have a cold (kill or cure) :ohmy:

CVs Caramel Cappuccino is a definite ADV

Went back online last night and ordered more from both so that I can start stockpiling the ones I like.

Thanks T,

We did it to raise funds and awareness for a friends charity called the Indee Rose Trust.

Between us we have raised just over 103k for the Kilimanjaro climb and there are still donations coming in.

Thats a better way of saying it bob :laugh: I am sure you will love it mate, it really is georgeous. I have ordered 10 ml of treacle sponge and custard from trip hammer, and though they are different puddings it will be nice to compare the two to see which i like best. If you ever get a base stuck on a mod again bob, a good way to get it off is use a marigold rubber glove (better grip)
