For us SG can take anything from 10 days to 6 weeks, that's why some of us changed to HK & CP for shipping, I sometimes wonder if it is our Customs that hold up shipments from Singapore.

It may be. I ordered some packages the same day, in singapore post (subox) china post (tank) and sweden post (batteries and charger). The one that arrives first, will be what I'm shipping with next.

I ordered them a week ago and their latest status is:

CN: Bulk mail acceptance center, left and the next stop "Tijianjin Centre"

SE: Order departed on flight from origin

SG: Recieved from customer

Nice little map here on Wiki about DMY/MDY & YMD, I use the latter for files on the computer as it sorts correctly

So far I have:
one shipped 20/11 SE arrived Sweden 03/12 - has not left Malmo yet - once it does I should get it Special Delivery 2 days later
one shipped 24/11 SG left SG early hours of this morning our time, so would expect delivery Tuesday
for your orders I would guess that they will arrive CP, SG then SE providing they ship about the same time.

another problem is we are getting near to Christmas so deliveries getting held up with backlogs due to more parcels at this time of year

 

[Davantrac]

Was it sent via Singapore post Dave?
Reason i ask is i had a parcel shipped on 07/11 via SG.

Yes it was. But saying that, the order I put in on the 18th was the istick30 and that came before this one.

when they speak to them across the border they use MDY, with the rest of the World DMY and probably the same as me in computing YMD

China post didn't show up before today actually. Have dozens of other singapore packages on the way as well. And yes, christmas times will slow things down

They all shipped the same day.
Edit: so far, the subox (singapore) is the only one which is found by the local postal service (POST NORWAY)

So if you order multiple items they ship the day the last is available I believe. So annoying. I need to cancel stuff and do two orders I think. It's enough that paying the extra is probably worth it.

Typically fast each with non battery items takes ten days with the usps option to the left side of the country

What else did you believe? Just cancel that item for a gift certificate and order it again, alone. Pay $1,50 extra and you won't wait for 1-2 months.

I got one of my Aromamizers set up earlier, tried the clapton wire at first, but the coils were so close to the chimney, i ripped them out for fear of shorting it.
Put a dual 26 ga kanthal in @ .4 ohms, all nice and toasty, wicked and primed, put it together and took a few pulls, and i have to say, first impressions were a bit disappointed. Very harsh, and not tons of vapour like i was expecting. George, am i doing something wrong with this mate ? i have both the coils just at the side of the post holes ! Do i need to move them up or down a bit ?
I was also trying to remember what the other name is for contact coils ? doing me melon in, sure i`m losing it

Micro coils

Micro coils

Cheers Bob, it was driving me mad I may try just a single build in my other one tomorrow with the ohms a bit higher, see if there is much difference. From the vids i`ve watched, i`m 100% sure i`ve done it right, But something is wrong somewhere
I used to run my orchids on a single coil, and they were 10 times better than this one i`ve done
On reflection, maybe i just vaped it too soon after building, so i will let it rest till tonight and see how it is !

Did you not try doing the vertical coils that RIP did in his video, that's what I'm going to try when mine arrives.

I did consider it , But as it was my first build with it i thought i would go with what i know best Suppose i can always flip them around tomorrow

I just watched rip`s vid again, and yes it makes total sense what he says about the horizontal coils. He is the only guy i can watch, enjoy watching, and make sense of what he says ! Will re-do it tomorrow

Haven't done a vertical build yet,i put my horizontals right in line with the air holes.So when you look thru' two of the four holes they are there.
What watts are you driving it at Terry?

 

[h00ligan]

@Pictor you use nautilus tanks don't you?

Just a heads up. The Clapton coil worked my throat over something fierce. Standard juice I vape regularly. Could be a coincidence but changing to the 1.2 is smoother and seems to have surprisingly more flavor. I really thought the clap tons would be the better of the two kanthal coils but it doesn't seem so.

To split my fast tech order into two cost me an extra $.40. I need to pay better attention to ship times when I shop there!

Yes thats how i did mine George ! I`ve got it at 40 watts. I`m just giving it another try now, but bloody hell, the throat hit is like it is 100% pg, awful.

What vg are you using Terry?
I'm using an 80vg

50/50 George ! I just went in the kitchen Where all my bits and bobs are tools etc, and i nudged the coils down about 3mm either side. It`s helped a little with the throat issue, not as harsh, but i`m still not happy with it. When i get another ale, i will try moving them a touch more, and if that doesn`t solve it i`ll put verts in tomorrow

 

[Brynglas]

I'd go at least a 70vg in it Terry.
I'm using 80vg,3mg @35W
