Yeah I see it now. I have only used the screw. I get a tiny bit of leakage out of it (I think, it's hard to tell) but not enough to cause a problem, just wipe it up every few days with some kitchen roll. I'll probably try the plug at some point but I'd be a bit afraid it would come loose.

Next time i do a refill Adam i will use the screw and see if there is a difference in how they perform I did read somewhere, think it was the US thread, that some people were having issues with the fill screw rusting But i can`t comment on that as i have never tried using one.

The plugs do work fine, BUT i am wondering if they are not sealing the pressure 100%, and maybe there lies the problem i had been having. All seems great now though after trying your suggestion.

Glad to be of help mate, mine is almost empty of ry4 Asian so tomorrow I'll maybe try the plug and also have a close look at that screw to see if it's rusting.

Question for Bob and Adam
Is the VS really worth this wait,i'm half in mind to cancel.
Reading around i'm not hearing good things.There was a guy on potv tonight saying he'd had a mail fom his supplier regarding a safety issue with charging 'thru the usb.
Another guy said he'd taken delivery from VS direct and obviously received a recon unit.
I only seem to be reading about problems with the VS and they are not all todo with the chip.
What do you guys feel about it?

I'm with Adam all the way, probably don't use mine as much as he does 'cause I have about 20 different ones on the go every day, mine goes round the corner to the shops with me and have taken it to a vape meet, but apart from that it normally sits on my desk, I find it a pain to take the skin off to remove the battery so I always charge using the USB with no problems except for once when I used the Qi charging, but didn't like the way it got very hot.

The raised outer ring in the base bit sits on the circular plug piece to hold it in place - what I normally do is put the plug in hold it with my finger and tamp the rest of it down before screwing on the base bit, get no more leakage than with the screw, just make sure you hold it upside down when putting it on/taking it off

Trish, Cloupor Mini does go down to 7w (it's lowest setting) fairly accurately, so you may find it better than the iStick. I got one from a UK vendor by Special Delivery, woke me up at 08:05 (had a discount code that paid for the delivery).

 

[Bobw1951]

George, got reply on FB from that firm in Dublin, they say it hasn't been set up yet but you can force it to accept the order, just make sure the address details including PostCode are put in correctly but put Country of residence as Ireland and it should accept the order.

Not so nice when the postie wakes you up an hour before you wanted to get up though

I've had 0 issues with mine from grey haze and have used it pretty much every day since I got it. I don't usually take it to work or out and about (I have done a few times with the lemo on top, but I usually use my nemesis and kayfun) but when I'm at home it's pretty much all I use now, with RDAs or the lemo.

I will have to look into that possible safety issue with the USB charging though

I have charged it through USB several times with no issue but usually just swap the battery over and charge it separately. That's more just because I vape it until the weak battery message appears and I'm usually not sat at my laptop where I could continue using it while it's charging. That's how much I use it haha.

As for the chip and temp control vaping, I do highly recommend it. When I'm at home I use an RDA 90% of the time so for me the avoiding dry hits is excellent. If you vape tanks more and they are obviously wicked well then that won't be such a benefit.

EDIT: if you're concerned have you seen what people think of the Hana DNA 40? A vapor flask dna40 would be ace but it's more expensive.

Thanks for your help guys.
I have actually sent a cancellation e-mail this morning,Purely down to the fact that it just didn't feel right for me,just a feeling i developed.
Probably a lot to do with the fact i actually paid on 22-11-14,and got fed up with the wait.

Another thanks to Bob for chasing the Goose juice,i'll get on to that right now and get some ordered.

Finally did you get your e-mail from Maker this morning Bob?Not really what we are waiting for but at least we're not forgotton.

 

[Brynglas]

Goose Juice ordered.
30ml @ 6mg

Never have that problem. My postie never gets here before 10:00am and my body clock is that far out these days I'm always up anywhere between 5:00 and 10:00. Just can't get it regulated anymore.

Just a note for Marcus.
I've had it happen to me and read about others.Mine was with a Erlkonigin nano clone.
When you include an atty with your FT order it sometimes refuses Paypal payment,other times it's OK.And if you exit and reorder it also accepts the order.
Strange because more often, there is not a problem and it accepts the order straight away.

Got mine yesterday, I had originally asked about the Mukoton with SX350 before they changed the options, then re-registered interest in the Stürmträger and DNA40, presume they have decided to start with the Mukoton first so we'll have to wait for the other one.

EDIT: Let me know how you get on with the GJ

Oh cool, so you think it does step down? And presumably no rattlesnakes?

Also thanks for the tip about the lemo plug and making sure you unscrew it upside down I would definitely have leaked juice unscrewing it upright

Well I put the Billow on it with what was 2.1 ohm on my P3 it now shows 2.23 ohm so started it at 12w which is about right for it, I then took it down to 7w and there was a hell of a difference for me, could still taste it but very weak, so I would say yes, it steps down.

EDIT don't know if it suffers the same problem as the T6 T8 though in being over-powered, but 12w for the build in the billow is about right

Ok thanks I ordered one last night for £18.67 with first class p+p from vapeland and a bottle of shanghaied juice from rose city fog

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.

Okayyyyyyyy now that make sense lol! I'll be sure to check for the next order in that Bob. Thanks!

 

[Evaravenspell]

Sarah, I saw a post on the FT forum about the kuro coilers. They've been that popular that FT will be shipping them out on a first come/first served basis. So if you got in quickly with your order, you'll get some of the first batch

I definitely won't be in the first few batches Hun hehe. I just got a confirmation that mine will only ship on the 16th haha! It's alright I'll just wait
