Bob,see our friends at Evkoo have a pre-order open for the 50W Istick(not that i'd ever shop there again).
But it's priced at $47.99,which must be a fair indication to the price FT will charge.Anyway it shows they are pretty much on the horizon.
Yes, thought that when finding those at Heavengifts on pre-order for $48.80

That's a nice looking little mod Sarah,i tried to "enable"Trish into buying one :laugh: Trish went for the mini Cloupor,also very nice.
I personally like the look of the new Sig mini,but haven't seen it reviewed yet.
A little bigger than some, but if it turns up at a good price in red somewhere, I may be tempted at some point!

It arrived about 11:00 and it is lovely, had to have a move around of all my mods etc so that it would fit on the desk, I probably could have got a 26" but not bigger, this 24" will do me for now, and it shouldn't get as dirty as the old one now that I've stopped smoking, here's a piccy:

Nice Bob - glad you like it. Prompted by seeing your post yesterday, I took a quick look today and it looks as though LaCie have stopped doing monitors, at least for now. I did find the first s-PVA one better than the IPS version they replaced it with ...first one was perfectly calibrated out of the box!
The second one needed hours spending on it to get the colour right ...and even then.....:(
I'll need to take a look on somewhere like AV Forums photography section and see what's being said there re monitors. I'd prefer to know what to go for before there's any urgent need to get one fast.


I've linked to this from another section on the forum. And everyone should be able to add the missing data or just add and change how the see fit.

Feel free to alter or copy as you see fit.
That's useful! I saved it - thanks :) Do post any edits you do! ;)

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)

All depends on how they taste in use!

The 70% ones could prove too much, so I'll have to see.
Chefs could have a higher than 20% PG content in the flavouring, so who knows!

I also ordered some to try in small bottles from Cloudhouse today. Gremlin Custard, SNG S'mores, SNG Creature Cream, MBV Shenanigans, MBV French Vanilla, MBV Coumarin. Got 2 extra shots in the MBV & SNG, 3 shots in the MBV French Vanilla.
Not too sure about the Coumarin because it has a little clove in it - only a small bottle so not a problem if it's horrible :laugh:

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.

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

~Vince01 2015

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). :)

George...I got a reply from FT, saying the certs are NOT transferable mate ! So if you want me to keep hold of it, till they get the 50w i sticks i will do :) There is an option to change address when shipping, so i will just put your address when ordering !


OK Tel, Sounds good.
But if you see anything you want don't worry about me.
Also maybe someone else may be putting an order in and help you. if you want it done sooner.
Anyway if you don't mind waiting,it's great with me.

I would think from Ireland, the postage is not much difference if any. Glad to here it went through okay then.

Crazy thing Bob,it'll come off the boat at Holyhead and down the A55,within a mile of my front door.Then head off to either Liverpool or Manchester to a sorting office.Then back to my house.:)

I know it's a joke isn't it - FT stuff comes in at Heathrow, in the old days it then used to go to Mount Pleasant Sorting Office (the main one in London near King's X) then down to Camberwell - now it goes from LHR to Croydon before it comes back to Camberwell.

But saying that it might not come on the ferry, it might fly from Dublin to Liv. or Manc. it's just as easy these days.
