Well for a start Marshmallow doesn`t appeal to me one bit :laugh:
Until I checked again, I thought it was milk with the fruit cereal, so it would seem that being marshmallow doesn't taste any different to me.
It`s not foolish at all Trisha, after all they play a massive part in our lives ! I would be lost without a furry friend at my side :)
Very true - you feel yourself becoming so fond of them, you just know how much it'll hurt when they go.
I said I'd keep emotions on the side of sensible with this one when we first brought her home, but I had no chance!

So did I, but I got the istick Pico Kit in the dark grey.
Is China post still OK? - I've never had any problems with that method.
I only got 4 - 10, 20, 50 & 100ml
I just checked - mine is just 4 too ...the set with 5 was from Hong Kong and I wanted them quicker.

I received a Black Aromamizer okay via China Post, and the istick Pico kit is set to come by them as well, but not due in stock until 05/04 and I have some Aromamizer Supremes coming that way as well, should leave Beijing tomorrow hopefully.
But Direct Link aka PostNL aka PostNord (Sweden) have really fkd up, there are loads of people all over the world complaining on the FT forum that none of their parcels have arrived, think they didn't realise how much was going to come via them over the CNY, at the moment I have 2 large items which should have arrived 2 weeks ago and 2 smaller ones which should arrive tomorrow, but none of them have actually arrived in the UK even though Direct Link are saying they are here :-x

Good to know China Post is still OK ...I used that for my small order two days ago, and its been despatched today. I'll use it to order the Pico too. The other coils I want are due in around 8 days, so should work out well.

Shame about the Swedish post though, and very annoying - hope you get that sorted out easily!

China Post has always been good, the problem I was having was with things going missing after entering the WDC in Langley (Heathrow) or at Croydon DSO before getting to Camberwell DO.

As for the via Sweden stuff it's just a matter of waiting, things appear to be moving as some US customers are now getting their parcels, more annoying than anything else. Another problem I've found is that I cannot get into the full track details page on RM which was much more useful than the normal Track & Trace, looks like they have blocked it for outside users, might try and find out the new web page next time I go to the Delivery Office.

I've often thought RM's tracking considerably behind others - DPD is very good for one, Amazon (for their own delivery service) another, and USPS is good too.

Seems a common problem Bob,people seem to just live with it,it's only minor.
Just filled my Serpent, and realised I had refilled it once before on 12/03 and never got any leaks, I tip mine upside down before closing the juice control off, to make sure any juice that may be in the bottom comes through to the top, once fully closed, I close the AFC, I then turn it the right way up and take the top off, fill it, then put the top back on, invert it again and open up the juice control, finally turning it right way and opening the AFC, a quick blow through into a tissue or cloth (nothing came out this time).

My apologies for not reading the previous 17,410 posts.

I did a pre order for the iStick Pico. I buy most things from FT but have yet to do a pre order from them and would like to understand it better. FT says they remove the authentication stickers. I'm sure they do that so eLeaf can't track back to the supplier meaning FT doesn't have easy access to the product, probably because they ignore price guidelines. I believe this is going to sell well. So, my question.. Has FT been successful filling pre orders like these in the past?

I think it mainly depends on the item, some sell really well while others flop, think that might be a good choice, I went for the kit with the Melo III Mini just yesterday - expected to ship 05/04 (5th April just in case you are American) unless it goes to restocking o_O

The Caribbean Dreams i was talking about is getting better still :) I have started to identify different flavours coming through now, definitely pineapple and orange, maybe a little lemon lime there as well :) Oh and i`m sure there is a hint of strawberry as well.
Sounds rather good! I'll get some :)

Brilliant! Thanks :)

The parents are feeding them with fish right now if you can look again :)
Think it was Dad that started to feed them, but missed the change over, had to go downstairs, because that looks like Mum that is there at the moment (she's got some brown feathers).

I think this product is going to be another iStick hit like some of the previous ones so supply could be an issue and I'm guessing FT will be the last order filled by their supplier. Small form factor reminiscent of the eGrip but with 18650 power, choice of atomizer and temp control. I'm trying to not get excited.

The Bald Eagle was the tipping point that started the US environmental movement. DDT was killing the birds. So were we doing to sacrifice the national bird for our convenience or not? A lot of national treasure has been spent helping them come back. Wildlife biologists nickname them the charismatic megafauna. They have individual personality and style and once they get to know you they won't fly off everytime you appear. It's a fun bird to have around.

I was watching both parents feeding them - really nice, but when I looked again, just one, and chicks being tucked underneath :)

Shall try this.
Much the same as i do,but i wasn't turning it upside down before closing the JC.
Will give it a go.
