Never looked at LaCie since I had their Firewire external HDDs which always gave me problems, ended up taking the HDDs out of the enclosures and putting them into a couple of USB ones I had, one of them is still in use attached to my TV so that I can record direct from the TV if necessary, the other is in my spares box.
LaCie used to be well known for their excellent pro level monitors, but after this change to the s-IPS panel, they've lost that edge I think. Has to be the reason they aren't currently offering any. Their price wasn't more expensive than the Eizo equivalents. I'm seeing some good things said about the better Dell ones!

I do still have a LaCie Poulton external drive that I've had a few years now. I back up onto it every week. All being well, I'll ditch it later this year and use a new one (brand yet to be determined :laugh:).
Website files are on a Samsung Story drive, but they're not made any more now! Everything's too fast moving!

I know what you mean, but...FT provides real stuff. Like the Smart-20 in my hand. It is not simply collecting the rent on the "vaping nirvana" that the forum can help the reader to visualise (and indeed inhabit). :)
I do like that FT keeps up to date with the latest brands and models, and as long as they get the stocking and despatch efficient again, I'll be happy to carry on using them.
The iSticks have been a huge success no matter if authentic or look-alike :)

Evening all.

I see you lot have been busy waffling again while I was AWOL :laugh:

Had a busy couple of work days so couldn't pop by. Plus I went from a late shift to an early shift within the space of a couple of days. Totally screwed up my body clock, didn't know my ar*e from my elbow :laugh:

Hope everyone's ok.

My FT order with the Kuro coilers was dispatched today, via China Post, so lets see how long it takes this time.

Just missed out on a superb tiered vaping stand on ebay by £1 :( The auction finished today while I was still at work.

It had the top section for drip tips, the middle section for toppers and the bottom section for batteries and some smaller mods. Also came with 8 or 9 different drippers, some drip tips and a separate juice stand. Oh well, more money to spend at FT :laugh:

I was surprised too Bob. I posted in one of the FT discussions about it, someone was asking about order times and expected shipping dates.

Maybe it's cos I is speshul :laugh:

I know Sufie said orders would be shipped out as a first come, first served basis - guess I just got mine in first :p

I just looked at mine and it is still saying 16/01, the KF4 that i ordered with it has been RTS for a few days now, the coil master from Puff Palace turned up today and I was amazed at how small it is, shame they didn't mark the sizes on each of the winder bits which house the different sizes, but at least you get more sizes, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3mm - be good to see the difference between these and the Kuro Koiler from FT.

Must admit Bob, I did bang in the order as soon as I saw them on FT. It's funny, I'd just been watching a review of them about an hour before. Plus the Lemo that's being shipped with the coilers wasn't supposed to be shipping until the 20th - so even better news :)

I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on the 2 devices side by side too. I ordered the 3 pack of coilers from FT - 2, 2.5 and 3mm. The 3mm will probably get used the most and occasionally the 2mm for twisted coils.

Mine went in 08/01 13:27 according to the email receipt, I got the set of 3 as well, on the bit that you turn there is a screw in one hole and another similar hole, the one that is closest to the middle post hole is for thin wires and the one furthest away is for thicker wires (don't know where it changes AWG/mm wise though) so you have to change the screw over if you change AWG/mm

If I remember right, I ordered mine about 10am, so not that long before yours.

I wonder if they'll come with instructions or not - guess there's always YT.

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

I'd better retire again now. Not in work til 10 tomorrow, but the Wife has to be up at 6.30. So looks like I'll be up early whether I choose to or not :laugh:

Terry, you can come out of hiding now mate, I'm off to bed :laugh:

Night all.

I see you've been buying more juices Trisha, just been looking back at some previous posts :)
Yes :laugh: ...just small sizes such as 5ml mostly, but a couple 10 or 15 too.

Revived my first mini nautilus today.First impression well after 8 hrs,life can't get no better
I use them all the time for my Mint Choc Vapetto and the Posset :) The chocolate one doesn't taste right for some reason in the MOW tanks.

Been on since 9 pm bob :laugh: Nothing to report !
I've been watching Angels & Demons and then some news.

Damn good film that trish, but i`ve seen it about 10 times :laugh:
Very rare I see a film more than once. But yes, it was good!
Superb effects when that antimatter exploded ..made me think of some of the amazing ceilings that were painted centuries ago showing a glimpse into the 'heavens'!

Some good books have been made into films - the Bourne series for instance, and I've read all of Daniel Silva's books and think they'd make some very good films too!
In fact, I'm reading one right now: The English Girl, and pretty soon I'll be off to read my nightly pages until I start dropping off to sleep :)

I bought a Cloupor Mini over here and have now ordered another from FT, they are a nice little mod - which one did you end up getting, guessing the SX300
It's something close to the SX ;) But i definitely went for a Yihi chip device now :D I just checked my tracker, its coming later in the evening woot woot! Ill be sure to take pics :D

This forum builds castles in the sky
We vapers live in them
And Fasttech collects the rent

~Vince01 2015
LOL! Sounds about right!! Haha~

Sarah, further to the SX300 i see FT now sell it: $54.15 SX300 G-Sensor Variable Wattage APV Box Mod - 7-50W / 1*18650 / silver at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

and there is now an english review of it:


Oh thank Youuu!! Wow i din't know they sell it. Well maybe my next mod? xD

Ordered a few from Red Juice that I wanted to try on Sunday and they arrived today, so good service.
I got:
Suicide Bunny/Kings Crown: Claim your Throne - described as cream, brown sugar,butterscotch. A drop smells/tastes a lot like a vanilla custard, & nice! (70%VG)
Accies: Ambrosia - described as a vanilla custard and again, smells/tastes as described & rather nice (80%VG)
Penguin: Yellow eyed - described as lemon bar crumble cake. - A drop smells/tastes as described, but a touch weak. Not sure if pre-steeped though. (70%VG)
Wow the description sounds yummy Trish :D

I've been watching Angels & Demons and then some news.

Damn good film that trish, but i`ve seen it about 10 times :laugh:
I have seen it more than 10 times LOL. Im a sucker for movies like these!!! <3<3

Yes, they sound good, and smell good ..a drop on my hand tastes good too, but there's no telling how they'll taste until using them properly! I keep an open mind.
Tonight I just tried 'Double Black' which is a coffee/tobacco one from SNG. Not nice when it arrived, but a few weeks on, a drop tasted of coffee and almond ...tastes like used coffee grounds & cardboard in a MOW on my iStick even at 6W, and that's higher than I like to use it!
I'll leave it in the tank overnight and see how it is ..they sometimes change left overnight like that.

I have seen it more than 10 times LOL. Im a sucker for movies like these!!! <3<3
I don't care for watching a film more than once ..I hate knowing what's going to happen next! :laugh:
I enjoyed Skyfall (first bond film I've watched in over 20 years as I didn't like the Bonds after Connery - even he was a bit smooth for me too), and liked the Bourne films ..some of the best book adaptations I've seen.
Seen a few decent films in recent months including Harry Brown - very thought provoking regarding the times we live in.
