Awaiting on four FT orders now..
First one shipped 2 weeks ago....Quartz tanks and sundries
Second Ceramic tweezers and more tanks shipped 4 days ago.
Thirdly kayfun V4 shipped today.
And last Sig 100Plus should ship tomorrow(You were right Bob,comes including skin).

Hanging around here with you folks is teaching me bad habitsNext thing i'll be putting an order in at Chefs

I just got an FT order of coils and a MT3 S tank to try it with some 2.2/2.5ohm coils - see how the iSticks are with those. I got the despatched emails for that on Dec 3rd.
It'll probably be a while before I get the next order in line.

As for Chefs ...feel free ...their site is back up

I mainly use tanks like protanks, atlantis & lemo type. I occasionally drip but not too often.. Yep the iStick is in Singapore atm lol! Right now i haven't a clue where my package is TBH. It's still stuck at "Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article)" now that has been there awhile now.. It's pissing me off. It's the first time im getting it at this stage for this long. Im thinking because it's xmas soon so they are working slow.

I ordered two from FT in mid-November, two separate orders, and they each took about exactly month counting from the day FS updated the status to "shipped." I don't know if this is an iStick thing, or a holiday season thing, but it was the longest I've had to wait on any delivery from FT so far.

If I place an order now will be in my house by jan 25? because i´m of the country in that day..

Depends on if the item is in stock, and if so, it'll be despatched very quickly. The time is from when it shows as being on it's way in the tracking details. That does seem to take a few days to show up ..even longer recently.
My last few orders have taken longer than the 8-14 days average I'd been getting before.
If ordering more than one item and one is in stock while another isn't, it's always best to place two separate orders ..it costs nothing and at least the in stock item gets despatched.

These delays could be seasonal or they could be down to other influences that we don't generally get to hear about in this part of the world. We just tend to wait it out ...for me so far, they've always turned up

Good news with my chefs order, they despatched it this morning So hopefully i won`t be RY less for too long Still no change with my other two chinese orders though, Stuck in limbo i reckon

I'm pretty sure if you requested different in the box provided, you'd get what you asked for.
Glad your RY is on it's way - hope the post is on top form tomorrow! (I'm hoping for my Highbrow to arrive too!)

That was a quick 4 days off ...

Tell me about it Bob, seemed to fly by

A species best kept well out of the way!

Just like most passengers

Well, as long as one of you is willing to do it, whatever works. I used to really like buying presents, but there's such a lot of variations to choose from - it gets more every year, and after the wedding our son and his new wife had, any gift would seem rather like 'small-fry' - so cash it is!
We've got so that if we want something then fine, we'll have presents - if we don't that's fine too. This year, if we needed or wanted anything, we got it while we had cash to buy it, so to be honest, there's nothing either of us really want! We've got some chocolates, bought a new oven and a few decent bottles of wine.
To be perfectly honest, all we both want is calm and peace (no dramas or conflicts!), and for me, my brain to co-operate! ...or I may start chewing cigarettes up!

Yep that's the thing, the Wife will run around getting presents for all and sundry - she's even bought 2 for my Step daughter's cat

And that's the problem Trisha, trying to find something suitable for the other half. We've both got most things we need, so it's just bits and pieces really - I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a new socket wrench, as that's about the only thing I need right now

Oh! Now I'm envious! I love all things Christmas: cake, pudding, pies With our without fresh cream!

I've got brandy butter sauce for mine - yum, yum

That's OK - I'd forgotten you'd made something pretty close!

I forget what I've made myself sometimes

Important thing for me? ...the little box to add instructions and requests! '100% VG base please!' - I checked and it's there Happy!

That would cause a few problems if it was missing Trisha.

Strange one that bob It is definitely up again mate, as i put a juice order in, and have had the conformation emails ! I re-wicked the Lemo again earlier using ... cotton, and it seems to be behaving better now As things were, if i took a long toot, then released the firing button, the attie was hissing for a second or 2. I don`t know if it was getting enough juice to the wick as things were. What do you think bob ? Either that, or it is the 28 ga wire holding the heat longer.

I'm doing an experiment at the moment Terry with 29g kanthal on my RM2/Reo. See if it lasts longer than the normal 28g. I've seen a couple of reviews that suggest the 29g heats up and cools down quicker than 28g. So in theory the 29g should last a bit longer, I have noticed that there's less hissing when I release the fire button - so hopefully less caramelized juice on the coil

Almost forgot - Chefs have the German Chocolate Cake concentrate ...not sure if it's similar/the same but it's in the Rebranded section.

I think it might be different from the GWAR one Trisha, I'll have a look later.

I found that it is possible to love someone but not really like them

Sounds like a lot of marriages Vince

Well decided to try it, BOD 12/16, All I really get is coconut, a little chocolate, but not much, needs to steep, but it might be ok after a month or so. IMHO.

Burnie

Mine has changed over time Burnie, I get more of the chocolate now than when I first tried it mate.

Just checked mine - according to 17track.net only 1 has arrived and that is the Sig, which has been at LHR since Saturday.
but when I go to RM another arrived today my IPV3 so still enroute is the Dovpo from FT, the Laik from Romania and a couple of heat shrink tubing which is the 1st part of my Zero order from FT.

 

[Bobw1951]

I console myself with the fact i'm saving money while spending money

What matters is that hopefully you leading a healthier life by not using stinkies

If I place an order now will be in my house by jan 25? because i´m of the country in that day..

Hi Miranda, presumably you mean at Frimley (home of Darts ), assuming no batteries included, I don't see why not, but use either Registered Airmail via Hong Kong or China Post not the recommended one (when you get to the delivery page select "other options")

 

[Brynglas]

Red one is from Bullboxmods.(strange name as they don't appear to make box mods)
Black one is from Gary Dibley,here in the U.K.

I am the converted sinner now Bob.Hate those Stinkies.
Does my head in how people gather in shop doorways,puffing on stinkies,and you have to wade your way 'thru it to get in the place.

Had a sneaking suspicion one of them had to be from Bully.

I've got a few of the Gary Dibley ones too, their a great tip for the price - I can't believe he can sell them so cheaply with all the work that goes into them. I've gone more for the straight tips from Gary though

Yes lets hope so trish I vape 50/50, so for me personally it`s not a problem ! I was thinking more for people like yourself.

 

[trouble1000]

Evening Terry, how you doing mate ??

Very well sire, and you ?

Oh no. You're becoming one of those reformed smokers now George

Seriously though, I can smell a stinky from a mile away now. I've actually started waiting until smokers have fully exhaled, before I open the doors of the bus, when I stop to pick them up. Sometimes it backfires though, they'll stand there for another few seconds getting the last few draws, right down to the filter

 

[trouble1000]

Very well sire, and you ?

Not bad mate. I overslept though this morning. First time in over 4 years I've done that

Did you see my earlier post about the 29 versus the 28 g wire mate ??

Yes i did mate, about the experiment ! If i am honest Ian i think the 28 is a bit too thick for some Atties, I even had to re-coil my orchids with 30 ga, cos the 28 just seemed to be giving me wicking issues. Like i said, i think it holds the heat a lot more than 30 ga.

As i said to bob, if i take a couple of really long toots ( Thats how i vape ) the coil/wick is still hissing for a couple of seconds after i release the fire button, and none of my tanks with 30 ga builds do that ?

Well so far I can notice the difference in the RM2/Reo. Normally I can go through 3 bottle fills when using the 28g, then the coil is totally gunked up. After the first bottle, the popping and crackling seems to drop off with 28g.

At the moment, using the 29g. I've almost used up the first bottle, no sign of the popping dropping off yet.

I know it's not a massive difference in wire thicknesses, but it's making a difference to the vape.

I'll let you know what happens on bottle number 3

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

Any vapemail today mate ??
