Well i cancelled my order of the sig last night, for two reasons ! First, it has been saying 5 days shipping for about a week now :laugh: I was reading the discussions and there is a lot of people getting annoyed at FT fobbing them off with poor excuses !

And second, i took a peek at Ali Express, and they are selling them 20 dollars cheaper than FT :toast: So i have ordered one from them. Problem i now have with FT is, I asked for a refund, and they have only refunded the extra money i paid, on top of the gift certificates i used :( I wanted a FULL refund, not a partial one, so i have opened a ticket asking for the rest to be refunded via my paypal account.

You are welcome dave :)

Because I dint get that option Bob :( I would have thought i would see that option since the day u mentioned it. But never gotten the option before :( maybe it's for different routes. I have ordered from ft about idk 4-5 times. so far singpost is all I see.

Don't go straight to Pay with Paypal use the checkout option then the next page is the shipping options, about halfway down you should see "other options" open that up and it should give a whole list of options.

Yeah Bob,i didn't mention it meaning you should go try one on an ego.

Only said that for the benefit of others who might think it is okay to use them, even on an istick the minimum wattage would be 18w which is well over what Trish would vape at until the battery started depleting below 4.1v

Offer on this weekend only at uk e-cig store

Yes.. it's a fair price, but if something goes wrong, say goodbye to any customer service.
Anyway, no mention of 2 coils, only 5ml of liquid and they aren't giving the buyer the adapter either, or the cable, as far as I can tell.

I refuse to buy anything from them, as do most old timers. Too much bad blood.

Doubt they make them for either the Atlantis or Melo - that's the idea these are sub-ohm tanks
Now that I compare, the coils do have a difference in appearance - but did wonder if they would fit into the Melo ..it looks like a really nice tank.

Think you can get 1.2ohm coils for the kanger subtank though.
Again, that's too low thanks - I like to get coils as high as I can so that I can use lower watts to keep power and liquid consumption down to help me not get congestion. Ideally, 1.8 - 2.5 are what I'd want, but can't always get depending on the tank.

Quite possible and of course you can make your own for the Atlantis if you are that way inclined :)
Pass :D

FT do a 1.0 ohm coil for the Atlantis,but they are not authentic.
For me, too low still.

Why do you use SingPost, would have thought selecting MalaysiaPost would be a better option for you.
I wasn't offered CP or MP, just SP when I ordered the Cloupor, for all it has no battery in it. That was via CC payment too.

Not running so smoothly at FT recently is it! :(

Only said that for the benefit of others who might think it is okay to use them, even on an iStick the minimum wattage would be 18w which is well over what Trish would vape at until the battery started depleting below 4.1v
Yes, I use my iStick as low as it'll go down to showing as near 3.0v depending on the coil in it. That's usually around 4.5 - 5W.
Those Lemos and now this Melo all look to be really good, well made tanks - in fact most of the current Eleaf stuff looks decent, so I'd have liked to try one of these tanks.

What problems have you had with them djs??Or are you just going on what you've read.

wonder if it goes on price of order - I always get a full list of options unless a battery is involved

unless the battery is nearly drained you are nowhere near those figures, more like 7-10w irrespective of what the display is telling you.

and on the question of the 30w model - have been told it is still over powered, therefore Mean not RMS, still waiting to hear about the step-down, but going by that I would assume that to be the same - so might have to wait for the 50w which claims it is accurate.

Yes, I do usually - just not that time. It may have been tagged as having a battery in it by mistake.

Yes, quite - just saying that's the reading I use mine at to get it as low as I can. ..It'll roughly equal what I was using the MVP2's at once it starts to discharge.

and on the question of the 30w model - have been told it is still over powered, therefore Mean not RMS, still waiting to hear about the step-down, but going by that I would assume that to be the same - so might have to wait for the 50w which claims it is accurate.
I thought so seeing the descriptions on that site that I copied the 50W info for here didn't mention accurate power for the 30W, but did for the 50W.
I wouldn't be interested in the 30W if the power issue hadn't been addressed.

Yes, but I'd be using more liquid at higher power = more congestion for me :(

I thought of that after i posted.The Lemo at normal ohms (say 1.2/5) pumps out vapour so the melo will really throw it.
Still haven't tried my Atlantis yet have to do that over the weekend.

Did you get your snuff?

Trish,You'll be OK with a Melo on your mini Cloupor with Sony vtc.

George, Trish does not vape at high wattages, an 0.5 ohm Melo even at the lowest output voltage of 3.6v on the Cloupor Mini will give a power of 25.92w, well in excess of what she vapes at: 4w-8w on a MVP2 and perhaps around 10w on the iStick because of it's silly powering.

I'm vaping my Atlantis @ 40w

Hope you have something powerful to put the Atlantis on and a good juice for it - I'm using 6mg Max VG in mine, that's why I have it so high, and it will drink it up fast, I ended up getting the 7ml kit for it so i don't have to fill it up so often :laugh:

Yes Bob,second thoughts, i'll wait for the sig to arrive,may get it next week, it left singapore 5 days ago.Hana won't go high enough,i'm looking at 35w,how warm a vape are you getting at 40,i don't like it too warm myself.
I've got some 6mg but it's 70/30

I don't like hot vapes, apart from my Doge, which can be very hot (70w+) about a 2-3 sec vape with that one :laugh:

The Atlantis is warm but not too hot, but may be different with that juice of yours as you'll get much more throat hit, as it is the VG that smoothes it out, would be best to try at about 20w and if okay then ramp it up 5w at a time until you reach the right spot, or until you have to drop it back down a bit.

Hope you get your Sig, mine is still MIA although FT have now opened a query with HKPost so RM now have a pincer movement against them.
