You could get some Ni coils for your subbies Trish.
Like Bob said same chip as in the flasks He,Ian,Terry and myself have.No complaints so far.
I like the fact it's a replaceable battery too ..could be better in the long run - can't say as I've not had anything wear out so far apart from a Spinner ll! I do have an unused spare 18650 too! ...thinking abut itm Vaperama had some Panasonic with 20% off last night!

I may just cast caution to the wind and pre-order one - if it gets delayed I can always cancel it! :) ...the green is rather fetching!

After what i said about pre-order yesterday.....and i'm thinking of one myself :laugh: But it just seems different with F.T
And i do like the green one myself.
Mine's done! :) - I reckon I trust FT more on pre-order than most other places. It's showing 15 days ...I'm sure it was 20 this morning :unsure:

Got Mail: I just got two packages from FT - chose China Post for both, and one was posted 9 days ago, the other 8.

I got two of these drip-tips today (Hex and Spiral) in red. Perfect match for the Subtanks! What's more, they fit beautifully, and are cooler in use than the others I've used this past week. Not a fan of aluminium, but I'll make an exception for these - think I'll order a pack of all the colours. The hex shows the colour up most, but the spiral is very eyecatching ...think I'll stick with the hex for the multi-pack, and get one black spiral pattern!

I also got a MOW style tank, this one: https://www.fasttech.com/product/2129405 Even better blue than shown (deep sapphire blue) It's very smart because it's chromed copper, but it'll serve a purpose :)
The green metallic one I got is the same as the authentic ones: stainless steel. https://www.fasttech.com/product/2033001
..and 2xT3S gen purpose tanks for my 'stash'.

I also got a few other drip tips ...seem fine, and include a lovely amber glass/St. steel 'bead' type one. https://www.fasttech.com/product/1712703

Plus, OCC coils, V2 Kanger oils & T3S coils. Stocks topped up! I'll try one of the OCC ones soon to see if they're OK! :)

I find with my iStick 50 as it doesn't have removable batteries I top it up here and there more than let it go down near empty, whereas things like the rDNA 40 I let it discharge to empty because I can't be bothered to swap batteries around (I know pretty lazy)

Istick 50 lasts for days though so not a problem, been really impressed with the battery life.

The rDNA40 is easy to get at the battery, so yes, let it discharge until the mod turns off, then replace with a fresh battery, that's the way I do it, although I sometimes top it up using the USB cable, as I said anything where the battery means unscrewing 2 or 4 screws to get at and providing it is only a single battery, then it's better to top them up USB wise, same goes for LiPo type mods.

It's when you get to mods that have more than 1 battery that you MUST use a charger so that the batteries get charged equally.

From China to Cwm in five days using the e packet option
FT? Can't say I noticed that option.

Trisha just over 6 months I've given up
I think I was comfortably at 6mg at that point, and found it easy to gradually step down to from 2,4 to 1.8, 1.2, 1,0 over that time. It's getting lower that's a bit harder - I was warned about that right at the start by someone ahead of me with it all, so I haven't worried about getting too low yet. I began mixing .6 and .3 by late summer, and don't have a problem with that. Using only .3 ...not sure yet, but there's likely odd days that it's what I use most without really thinking about it.
Not quite prepared to try zero yet! :laugh: ...brain's addled enough since I stopped smoking!

I ordered an SX Mini last night and it's been posted this morning.
Just wondering if i could get away with one of these aswell :unsure:
I actually thought you may last night! :rolleyes:

They do look nice don't they.Im tempted instead of another iStick 50
I tossed the black iStick 50 out of my basket and put the green one in! ;)
(I was going to get one as a spare ....another day!)

Nice! You'll be trying those before long ..before the day's out?

Might have to wait until tomorrow, been taking the bed apart, as am waiting on 2 singles being delivered shortly (special one for SO as she is having problems).

Hoping the 2 chaps bringing the new ones will get the old one downstairs and outside so I can get the council to collect, price of a few drinks might help.

There's always something gets in the way! :laugh: ...heck, I'm supposed to be working! ..suppose I'd better get on with it to be honest!

Hope the delivery chaps oblige! :)

That battery is only good down to about 0.8 ohm, really better to get the Samsung even though they are a £1 more

A bit of wallet grease works wonders Bob

Turns out 2 chaps ended up as 1 - flipping courier company cutting down on costs - anyway he obliged after some greasing of palm, worth it considering my angina, there is no way I could have got the mattress & 2 halves of a 4 drawer double divan bed down the stairs, and I now have the Missus's bed up and ready for her to use tonight.

I'll have to use the Futon in my den until I can get the room sorted out (need to throw a lot of junk out) and then the Futon can be replaced with my bed which unlike hers is flat-packed, so not taking up too much room, her home help people said they will provide some help to get Futon out and bed set up when I need it.

Just had a crazy hour,put the Subtank on my new mod first puff wow this hits hard,second and third ok fourth burnt jeez haven't coughed like that since I give up smoking.Not a problem a simple coil change will resolve the problem.Good time to give it a clean while the coil is priming in the base,changed the glass and o rings filled it up and left it,with the big airflow open

Took the iStick 50 off charge changed a tank,No atty kept flashing up put a new one on and it started firing on its own.Took the attyoff cleaned it done the reset what Bob posted,seems to be working ok now

Went back to the invader and the Subtank picked it up and I'd lost half a tank of juice,it run everywhere found out the problem the bottom o ring has a slightly square edge and a round one and I put it in the wrong way round anyway sorted that out.Got a cold can of old speckled hen and blowing big tasty clouds:vapor:

We had that with a washing machine a couple of weeks ago ...if we wanted two men, it cost an extra £20 delivery! Emphasised the fact we were not to offer any assistance either! (Insurance) - wouldn't like to do that job for too long!

Good that you'll get some help with that! :)
