It's something to do with them selling it cheaper.

Yeah i think it`s something to do with patents/copyrights, as companys like joytech don`t like FT selling their products cheaper than they do. So if FT remove the stickers, it can`t be regarded as ` authentic` though it still is Something like that anyway

That was how I read it in the comments, also nearly all joyetech & eleaf stuff destined for the UK market is controlled by UK Vapour Brands Ltd who run joyetech UK, eleafworld.co.uk and is a ® trading name of Totally Wicked, checked it the other day from Companies House, FT appears to be the only company that will sell these to UK customers, although some others will sell Eleaf products. I refuse to buy from any of those companies due to the mark-up they charge on all hardware they sell.

The seats on the steam train are a lot comfy,than the new trains.

Definitely! - in fact, the last train I was on seemed to have seats more like a basic bus than the ones I'd expect on a train!

FastTech getting better???? order placed 09:57 shipped 15:04 mind you it's via SG so it probably won't leave there until late next week.

I may have missed it, but did your Chefs order arrive? - I'm really hoping mine turns up on Monday!

@Pictor those are the ones. That is really odd about the sticker removal. I ordered two picks so we will see. Please note he temp control ones have bigger air flow. As do the different ohms. So for mouth to lung I think 1 ohm kanthal are the best

You mean the 4ml tanks have big airflows? ...I don't like those.

The bandage sort of scraped off today and I tried to line it back up
I feel like I need to change it. They didn't give me stitches just steri strips. I couldn't imagine a bandage staying in for three weeks. I asked my better half to get some
Gauze and medical tape. I have been using press and seal cling film when showering. Online info from other doctors says the bandage can come off after three days but they probably stitch.

Can't you just go back to get a fresh dressing applied? If not, be careful to use sterile gauze or dressing.
Online info from other doctors can vary, and they may not be speaking of such a large incision.

The incision was supposed to be 16mm. It's easily three times that size. Probably due to the complications. About 7 inches in a circle around the incision is totally numb. I guess that's normal for skin to be numb after cutting it open ?

Yes, the numbness is normal, and much of it will disappear, but some may remain to a lesser degree - all to do with nerve damage in surrounding tissue. (My husband has some that stretches half way across the left side of his scalp!)

Unfortunately this operation was where my neck joins my back so basically anything agitates it. But honestly it's really not been bad. I feel fine. I just had weird nerve stuff keeping me up. Aside from the buzzing here's a strange thing that happens where it feels like bugs are crawling on me.

It is a bad place for pressure and nerve irritations! I've heard about the sensation of crawling too. They're probably both related, and likely things that will gradually improve over time.
Glad things are reasonably OK though!

I just realized my spinal surgeon was the one who allowed the recent Olympic athlete who had been paralyzed to walk again. I guess he's top of the heap worldwide. He just happens to be close to me so I don't have to be famous.

Sounds like you have a good one!

Right - makes sense in an FT sort of way

OK - so stickerless it is then!

Just a note on the MAP code, if I read correctly today, it looks like it can be used more than once on certain Manufacturers items, BUT can only be used on one order per item(s), so as long as it is a different item that is valid for the code then you can use it again, I noticed this today as the Cthulhu v2 is a valid item, so if anyone was thinking of buying it you can use the MAP code.

So to recap, you can buy 6 x 1 valid item in one order and get the discount on all 6 , but you cannot buy 1 valid item 6 times.

Cool. Is there some kind of strategy of knowing which items the MAP code will work for?

I went out to Footie (we lost 0-1 George @Brynglas most of the action was in their half but they were very good at defence) then straight to Xmas Party arranged by my ex Railway colleagues, but nothing turned up, not even junk mail

Check the comments - that's how I found out about the Cthulhu v2

@Pictor no not the tank. The coils themselves. Each different type varies on how large the air hole is. The smallest air hole (down the middle of these coils) is the 1 ohm coil. The largest air hole are the ti heads. The .5 are slightly smaller than the ti and much larger than the 1!ohm.

The reason I brought this up is no matter if you want to rebuild them you'll want to start with the 1 ohm. So it's the smallest hole
Possible - it doesn't then matter which material you use to rebuild them.

I plan on treating them as disposable but chucking them
In a container when I'm finished with them. I'll Probably wind up
With 40-50 shells which I'll then rebuild over the course of a couple of hours spread through a few days. The have a coil Per week

The rebuilds of the clr coils is SO simple. It literally takes a couple
Of minutes. There's no reason to make contact coils for them. Just close spaced wraps.

I'll be back why a video link. The video makes it seem like
It takes a while but they're going in super slow motion to allow people to catch it all

Of course you can buy and discard them too. As they're roughly the same Price as standard CL heads but taste way better.

Here's a nice slow easy to follow rebuild tutorial for the clr heads.

Is the hotcig the only DNA 200 device they have or available for MAP? I guess they are shipping batteries separately now but there are still a lot of complaints.

Post came, but nothing from Chefs. So we'll both hope our packages arrive on Monday!

Right! - as for rebuilding, that's something I wouldn't want to do - that's why I have a huge number of various coils stored in a box for future needs!

So now I find that my speakers aren't working - they were fine yesterday, but just crackle briefly when I turn them on now! Not had this happen before, so not sure if it's the speakers or something inside the computer! Not in the mood for malfunctioning stuff!

Anyway, I'm unlikely to rebuild coils

 

[Davantrac]

Yesterday's mail eventually brought my Athena Envy22 and loads of coils that were ordered on the 4th of November.
Fells good quality fitted an empty new billows style RTA in it looks good. Just hope it performs as weasel as it looks.

Was it sent via Singapore post Dave?
Reason i ask is i had a parcel shipped on 07/11 via SG.

The Hotcig yes, the spare battery no - for MAP.

Have heard it now ships with battery detached so that it doesn't run down to empty, also it has been slightly redesigned with black buttons instead of ss buttons, don't know what else they have altered - apart from the first one being almost DOA I've not had any problems with it so far, still waiting for my second one to get here from Sweden. The spare battery arrived fully charged.

 

[Vapez]

I went from refusing to buy anything electrical and non-authentic from fasttech to buying batteries, chargers and mods from them and a couple clone tanks.

Electrical components I only purchase authentic though of course.

I had some coils delivered from FT yesterday.Through the SP option they were shipped 09/11

9th september?

That's a long time. If I buy with free shipping, it takes about 3-4 weeks. With free shipping with order above $25 or $1,50 extra I get it in 1-2 weeks.

09/11 over in UK is 9th November we use dd/mm/yyyy not like the Americans - they just confuse everyone else.

Edit: Bob beat me to it.

Yes, i'm from Norway, and yse dd/mm/yyyy as well. Would be much better if the americans switched... I thought ***he*** were an American right now, and tried to pull a stupid joke out of the date..

But still, almost a month with SG is slow, do you usually get them that late?

Edit: thought you were that guy

For us SG can take anything from 10 days to 6 weeks, that's why some of us changed to HK & CP for shipping, I sometimes wonder if it is our Customs that hold up shipments from Singapore.
