    Glad to hear that the Members Guide was useful ... I just received a DIY order myself from Wizard Labs, and here's a little steeping trick : When you mix up your batches if you leave at least 2-3mls of empty space within the bottles, the extra space/air actually helps flavors develop a little faster. I use 50ml bottles for 30ml mixes, and the flavor definitely develops faster than when I used to use the full capacity of the bottle.

    Thanks for the tip on steeping, only mixing 10mil amounts right now, as just started DIYing today, so still in the testing flavors stage, there is empty space in the bottles and seen a few saying put the mixed juice (in bottles of course) in the crock pot for a few hours on low to help steeping too, so did that this evening, bagged the bottles in food bags while in the crock pot, got tops off now and will be doing a taste test tomorrow.

    I had no idea what selection to use on shipping, so your guide was very helpful on that part, thank you again :)

    If USPS is back on their game then the average shipping time is 10-12 days. Over the last month or so USPS started getting sketchy, and some shipments were taking way longer than they used to. My last one took 26 days, which was a first for me. Until then I had never waited more than 10 days from acceptance in China.

    So I hope that shipping is back to norm to you can get to enjoying your Turtle Ship, it's one of my favorite mechs. :)

    I've had no problems with shipping times from china for the last few months, normal wait time for me once shipped is 7-14 days. My problem is with FT, everything I order now a days goes to re-stocking, nothing ships when they say it will anymore, so now giving FC a go, if this order of mine goes well, then be using FC a lot more :)

    What are shipping times like? I ordered a Turtle Ship V2 clone exactly a week ago and now my package has currently 'Processed Through Sort Facility' in Shenzhen EMS, China according to USPS tracking. I've read on other forums wait times of one week all the way to four weeks!

    First mod of mine and I'm crossing my fingers that I get it this week. I already have everything else (batteries, Kanthal, rda, charger) ready to go.

    I just ordered the black turtle ship clone this morning from FC, let me know how you like it when you get it, I really like the look of this mod :)

    That is why it is so important to have "options" as far as Chinese Vendors are concerned, and its amazing how much they have grown since December 2013.

    Me too, the beach is calling my name.

    Gonna get your tan on? :blush: .. I've been running around since I woke up, inspecting the garden, Walmart for new sprinklers, chinese food for lunch, back to the garden, and now I am rebuilding my two Kayfun's, and the Squape .. while watching twisted :blink:

    I love Samsung INR's ... my 3.1 shorted out this morning, the 510 pin had moved and twisted the deck, which of course I couldn't see at first .. Went to take my first vape of the day, and as soon as I hit the button on the SR, my thumb felt burnt by an extreme hot spot on the mech tube (not the switch) :ohmy: ... Of course I jumped up, and ran from the front porch to the back deck and pulled the battery out, which was HOT AS HAIL!

    But the good news is the the Samsung survived, it didn't vent, and I just tested it on the Vamo and thank you Baby Jesus my beloved Samsung is still alive, and well :banana: .. and so is my face :laugh: This has never happened to me before, and I hope it never happens again.

    Weird. Had the same thing happened to me the other night with my SS Turtle Ship. I locked the mod went up to check on the wifey and baby. Held him to sleep for 15 mins. Came back down to see my other lil one. Something told me to go take another vape. Went into my room and grabbed the TS unlocked it and "BAM!!!!" Finger got burnt. "Dropped it like its hot!!!" :) took apart the bottom switch.

    The positive pin derlin melted and pin was stuck on the Sony. Battery survived but pin did not. Out of TS for now. ;(
