Been one of them days mate. So I'm consoling myself with a can of Kopparberg cider, followed by some JD and coke (the JD has been sat in the kitchen for months, so I thought why not :laugh:). So if I suddenly stop posting you'll know that I can't co-ordinate my fingers anymore :laugh:

I've not really looked at any videos for the Orchid to be honest mate. Thanks for the tips though, I'll remember that when it arrives. Any tips for the "Bob" or the Rose :laugh:

Which one, I like the Strawberry and the Raspberry ones, don't drink Whisky of any kind, so you can keep the JD, I've not had any problems with the AFC on the "Bob" so don't know why yours is leaking from there, suggest taking the whole thing to bits making sure all o-rings are on correctly and then putting it back together again, see this video for how to do it.

I'd ordered a two tier acrylic stand from FT with the Magenta one I ordered on it's own from the first batch, and it arrived today broken in three places, plus the supposedly clear acrylic end pieces to fit the two tiers together, is actually a poorly done cloudy/ftosted finish! It was just over $10, so I suppose I'll have to send them a photo of it!
One part is usable if I stick the back on it - and it's just the right depth to take perhaps 11 or 12 iSticks standing sideways! I could put this narrow one behind my pen/stationary storage rack and they'd be safe from falling off the back of my desk! :)

Cloudy/frosted bit probably has a sticky covering over one side that you have to remove, one of mine was like that.

AW icr123 16340 Protected, times 2, in series. Checked voltage with DVM and it adjusts 3.0v to 5.7v range, the original is 4v to 5.5v I think.

I use 4 of those and I have 4 AW IMR 16340s as well in rotation, just make sure you keep them together in pairs, in use and charging.

Vaping Rhubarb & Custard are we :laugh:
:lol: The plant is called a Stag Horn, just vaping my normal ADV :lol:

Yep, have 4, 2 married pair. The batteries cost half the cost of the mod, AW's are not cheap, but running in series I wanted good batteries.

I knew it wasn't Rhubarb, but it just came to mind so had to have a :laugh:
Those AW icr123 are not so easy to get over here, when I bought my BB it came with 4, so I got the IMRs instead just so I didn't wear the others out too quick, they were easier to get hold of from on-line vape shops.
Glad you are enjoying it, have been trying to find somewhere that sells the adaptor and 510 connector to use on mine.

I think the next colour I'll order will be the red, then maybe the blue at some point. The adaptor I've got is a strange one, it's a single adaptor that has the holes in different places for all the different continental sizes, can't remember where I got it from now, but it does the job perfectly :D

Nothing surprises me about FT these days :)
Do you need to use the 'foreign' adaptor? I'm just using a white standard UK 3 pin 1000MA USB adaptor plug - think it came from Ireland with an iStick I got there.

Been one of them days mate. So I'm consoling myself with a can of Kopparberg cider, followed by some JD and coke (the JD has been sat in the kitchen for months, so I thought why not :laugh:).
I've got some Kopparberg Pear Cider in the garage keeping cool! ...son & his wife came and we had a bottle of Black Stump with steak in red wine sauce, rosemary baby roast potatoes and broccoli & carrots. Chocolate cream gateau & coffee ice cream for dessert! :) Lovely bottle of wine! Got a case of 12 from Laithwaites with a good 40% introductory discount!

Well surely they won`t want you to send that back trish ? And if you can put the broken one to use, it will be a bonus if you get a refund. :) Mmm Toast and coffee :laugh: you must let us know what the new ones are like when they arrive ! I had to change to a higher resistance trish cos everything was tasting burnt with a 1.3 coil, absolutely perfect vape now. :D
I'll need to photograph it before I fix the half that can be fixed ..the other half has one side broken off and the front is broken 1/4 way along from the other end!
I'd need more than toast to fix that coffee for me! :laugh:
My resistance is fine thanks :closedeyes: :lol:

Under starters orders and their off :laugh:
Don't rush yourself ...that poor little guy doesn't seem to be getting very far :lol:

Yep i beat trish by a good margin, and twill be the same for thee mate. :lol:
I'm patient! :unsure:

Nah mate, I'm a special customer of FT. Mine will be here on Monday :laugh: Seriously though, 8 or 9 days from ordering until delivery on the last 2 orders, that's some good going that is :)
My last two were 8 and 9 days.

and mine shipped yesterday, so I should get it a day earlier :p
Do you think being south makes your delivery a bit faster anyway?

Hah! You're right Bob! Very well put on ...Still, I won't be able to use those as one half is too broken! :(

First point of entry to the uk trish, and as our bob is down there he should get his first. :)

Something I don't have to concern myself about! no fiddling with wires n stuff! :laugh:

.....you punched me on the nose? :blink:

Exactly! By the time our RM gets in gear it's likely to take another two days! :rolleyes:

I sorted through all my earliest bottles of 'stuff' last night - heck! the smell of the nicotine! :facepalm: ...I'm sure there was nothing you'd have liked either! :)
Some of them had a pretty nasty smell without the nicotine anyway, others had virtually no flavour smell!

The past week, I've had none of the PG/VG ones I usually mix around 15-20% with a max VG one, and the eczema patches that appeared in the past couple of months on my face have just about gone! My gums aren't sore at times anymore either. Both signs of my PG intolerance even at that lowish level ...and although even VG and flavours can/do affect me a bit, I haven't had a problem with breathing every day as I was doing in the past month!

Yea, haven't seen the 510 adapter separate anywhere, if I do I'll let you know. Don't think I'll use mine as I like the compact design, no topper sticking out the top. I might try it just because, but just because.

What the heck are you feeding that plant on Burnie
I can only grow Egos on mine :laugh:
Bananas, that's what they need. :lol: Still trying to grow a Provari, just can't get it to take. :lol:

Not with my DO, I'll probably be the last to get them :lol:, but seeing as everything comes via LHR, it should be

I thought exactly the same when I got my 2 tier one, until I noticed it was only one side of the acrylic

These FT delivery times you guys are talking about seem quicker than I'd expect. You using Singapore or China post?

I've been using CP but there seems to be some glitches in the tracking at the moment, so my last order is coming SG to see if they have improved any

I'm not even sure I can be bothered to complain about this .....for $10 I have half that I can use, and it's probably more useful/neat than the two tier would have been anyway!

Still waiting for their response to the RM return shipping charges I sent them yesterday.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

FT seem to have the iSticks on tap ...this morning all but red sold out, right now they have blue and black kits for next day despatch and red 7 days.
They seem to be steaming through their stock!

My first order for them arrived this morning along with the mini Nautilus, two MOW's and some more BVC Nautilus & V2 coils. Bigger package and took a day longer than the first!

Now I've got a great set of iSticks - enough to use four and perhaps keep two charged! Plus two unwrapped back-ups in the cupboard!

Also, I finally got around to ordering some small bottles from Highbrow - I had a few recommended to me by a couple of people, so went ahead.
Shipping is just about the same as NT.
Everything is customisable too - VG/PG, extra flavour, and added flavours too.

I ordered in 0.6mg, VG and asked for extra flavour to suit the VG content:

Limoncello - I see people saying it's good with added cream too! (they also do this with a blackberry mix)
Cappuccino Diablo - rather than request extra cream, I'll add it myself if needed
Cheesecake - apparently a good creamy/custard type cheesecake not sour cheese! (can have things like blueberry, raspberry, coffee, etc. added if wanted)
Tiramisu - 'mascarpone, espresso, and bitter chocolate'
Caramel Cake - thinking this could mix with a plain dark coffee too
Dark Chocolate - another that could be added to others such as strawberry, cake, CB, custard, etc.
