That's exactly what they said about that order from Indigo that arrived in New Zealand on Dec 10th! Yet Indigo told me to contact the postal companies!

But, I got mail today when I wasn't expecting it:

That's the missing order from Indigo! ...at least it'll be well steeped

They really are a bunch of Bankers - whoops spelt that wrong

Heyah guys. Quick question. Can ya'll help me decide? Im itching to get another mod. I have gone down my choices to 3 and these are within my budget.

1) ipv Mini
2) SX300
3) Cloupor Mini

But i just found out the cloupor mini isnt spring loaded. Also some of them malaysians have these already and are complaining how crappy it is Choices choices =/ I also hope the hubby gives me a go to purchase one >.< worst case scenario is i get lectured for an hour lol! My vape budget is totally out this month *pouts*

 

[Pictor]

Does that mean you've ended up with double juice Trish?

No such luck! I had to pay again for my second order, but ordered 4 instead of the 7 in my original order. They did offer me a discount code or a couple of small bottles, so I opted for the bottles! Mr otiginal order was $70 with shipping, so I'm glad it turned up!

Cloudhouse did replace my missing order from France though.

BA Vapes have the 30w istick in stock.

...you snuck that in!

I'll want to see some reviews regarding the output power before I think about any more - I'm fine with the 20W ones, but if they haven't fixed that issue, I certainly won't be getting a 30W - be no point as I don't need that much power.

Aye ...you did!

Sarah, It might be worth hanging on a little while longer, the iStick 30w & 50w are on the horizon and sound like they may be better than those.

They have a presence on POTV and I have commented on the advert thread to find out if they have fixed the step down and power issues, although for myself, I would be waiting for the slightly bigger 50w.

 

[Bobw1951]

Sarah, had to look up the SX300 'cause it is not really known over here, it uses the same chipset as the Zero that I have just received, but looks more like the Hana, so if you can get that local, then it might be a worthwhile choice

I was using Coil Toy - Online calculator for e-cigarette resistance coil building and I prefer 3mm

Cheers bob, that one is actually more precise than steam engine is. I first did 10 wraps of 26 ga @ 2.5 mm, put it on a stick ( low Atomizer ) where it should have been 1.2 ohms ! Good job i hadn`t trimmed the legs, so i took the coil out and did one more wrap and it gave me 1.1 ohm ! The coil toy, does say 11 wraps, so even though it was 0.1 of an ohm out, it is a much better calculator..Bye Bye steam engine

Right - I've just read enough about SNUS to rule it out! Too many possible health problems associated, and to be honest, holding a little teabag against the gums does indicate the likelihood of problems even without reading about it!

So, I now see that there's many types of snuff including differences between fine and coarse and varying levels of moisture. So, which is best?

I can`t even remember which brand/Type it was i used trish, but it really helped with my cravings And you are correct when you say that it does not enter the lungs ! All you do is sniff a little pinch of it, and it stays in your nasal passage. It can feel a little uncomfortable until you get used to using it, but that little pinch what you have sniffed is a direct nicotine hit to your brain, and i think that is what you may be missing.

I hope it helps you anyway trish, and it is so inexpensive you haven`t lost anything if you end up chucking it out It never did me any harm at all !!

Yep, parallel coils are great I think. I've tried dual parallels with several guages of wire and in an rda I found 28ga or lower was good, it's really fiddly making a parallel coil with thinner wire. It's got the nice simplicity of a single coil I like but with the ohms of a dual coil, and cos the two coils are essentially side by side they heat up quicker.

Give it a go, although I never tried one in a tank, just RDAs.

Yes, i watched rip do one last night and they do look bloody good But like you say, maybe better if i try one in my trident first

I hope you get a straight answer! As far as I know, it was left to users to work out what the issue is with the 20W.
I think I'd wait for the 50W ..not because I need the extra power, but the charge time will be extremely good!
I don't think there's enough advantages with the 30W.

Got my chefs liquids today And where i was 30 ml short on my last two orders, they sent me 60 ml today, 30 ml RY ....., and 30 ml of stemgunks RY. I had a really nice email from Lew as well, apologizing and putting the mistakes down to their move, and using a new invoice system. So all is forgiven, and god bless `em

Fellow orchid owners ! have any of you noticed that one of the airholes on the base is actually redundant ? I found this out by covering one hole at a time and drawing through the atty. Cover the wrong hole, and you get no air coming through at all ! I am just struggling getting me melon round that !

I am just using the one what i rebuilt before, and up to now it is vaping fantastic, Although, this thicker wire does hold the heat a lot longer, so i have to release the fire button two or three seconds before i finish my draw

Someone earlier today on Planet was complaining that the Coiltoy one was incorrect - but I have normally found it to be better and it shows the way the ends of the coil are for forward and return which is nice.

I made a parallel for a KFL+ that needed coiling but I used the steam-engine, I find with that one I have to change the leg length down to 4mm, but I put in 0.9 ohm and it came to 6/5 showing 0.92 so that's what I did, and when I checked on the ohm meter it was exactly 0.92, haven't got round to putting anything in it, as I don't have a mod free to put it on yet.

 

[terry w]

as I don't have a mod free to put it on yet.

Now why do i find that hard to believe bob Did you see my post about the orchids air holes ?

Both air ports are clear on all 3 of mine mate

Think you need a flexible poking implement

or an airline

Having said that I've got 2 v6 on the way to give me an option of single coil builds

the duals dont give twice the flavour but they do use twice the juice, I noticed the

same on the dripper with dual coils

No, both air holes work on mine, didn't you put the end of a cocktail stick in one of them to block one off last time

 

[Bobw1951]

Now why do i find that hard to believe bob Did you see my post about the orchids air holes ?

Okay, not a high power mod want to wait until something runs out first - my Helix should be available tomorrow with a bit of luck.

Agreed, I prefer single coils although on drippers to get really low sub-ohms you definitely need dual, triple or quad coils

Yes i did bob, but took it out! like vinne says, maybe there is some still stuck in there. I can always get the drill on to it Vinnie, I prefer the single coil myself mate, for the reasons you stated

Use a thin sewing needle or tacking pin and poke it down the hole , hopefully it might dislodge anything in there and it can then be tipped out through the larger hole on the deck

Yeah, they are performing great bob so it`s not really an issue, but when it come to re-wicking them i will sort them out! I just find it strange that all three of mine are the same ? could be a bit of swarf i suppose.

 

[Bobw1951]

Terry, just for you I have had a swap around, the Billow which I had on the Dovpo was a 2ohm job, so moved that to the P3, then put the KFL+ on the Dovpo, wouldn't fire at first, check atty, unscrewed the pin slightly, and it worked BUT was showing 1.7ohm instead of 0.9, took it off, put it back on and showing 1.5 weird, I thought so swapped over the Orchid on the Zero and put that on the Dovpo, 1.3 correct reading, put the KFL+ on the Zero 0.9 and with Blue Moo at 20w nice, 25w not so nice, so back down to 20w

Comments on the Zero - Very nice Mod - was described on FT as Grey, but it is SS (finger magnet ) performs as it should do and as siad above have tried both the Orchid and KFL+ on it with no problems - only one slight problem which I will look at tomorrow is the screw that holds the battery in place, I used a flat top Sammy 25R and the screw does not sit flush with the bottom of the atty, will see if it comes right out and if so file down the battery end of it so it sits flush, don't want to scratch my worktop

A bit strange, yes seeing as you always take yours apart and wash them before you use them, something I have never done with any of my atties
