What 18350 bats do you use/recommend?
I received my Lancia and Manhattan today after 3.5 weeks in the mail. The Lancia looks beautiful on all my mechs, especially on the stingray x hybridized, but here it is on the IPV2s. Its a sexy little dripper.
The plugs don't fit snug which had me a little worried, but it hasn't leaked a drop yet. I didn't think it would be possible to switch out the airflow plugs with a build inside, but its easy as shifting the coil out of the way and pulling em out with pliers. I'm pretty happy with it

For 18350, i prefer AW. I have a couple of the red 18350 Efest too but they don't seem to last that long. They were good when new but after about 6 months of use the performance has dropped off. I rotate 8 batts (6 AW, 2 Efest), using 2-3 a day depending on which setups i'm using. I have not tried the purple 18350 Efest so i don't know how those compare.
Most of the plugs on my Lancia don't fit snug either. Even though I didn't experience any leaking when i first tested it i decided to wrap a layer of teflon tape around the base of the plugs anyway. It's very easy to do, just wrap a layer or two around the plug, insert plug, trim excess with a razor blade.
Killer price! I didn't see those, and they would probably have worked by stacking two of them to get the 1/8" height (and strength) I wanted. FWIW the ones I bought are these. I guess I can take some small satisfaction in getting them and the other things I ordered (non vaping, i.e. boring) in three days, but still...
$4 shipped from the US:

I don't even have my Hana clone yet so I wasn't in any rush
.Dammit, I didn't even think to look at other sellers. Oh well.
Well thank goodness I had the Lancia on a regulated mod. During a puff, an air hole plug came loose and touched the positive block causing a short. Setting the atty aside for now, lol, until I get some teflon tape.
I feel ya. I'm 14 days in waiting on a Plume Veil dripper (focalecig group buy). Also have two FT orders; one in NY, the other somewhere between China and here. Says so, anyway. And there's a nice photo of the package...
ETA, keep an eye on the ohms reading. Reason I say this is mine shows considerably higher resistance than it actually is but only on builds that are over 2.4- 2.5 ohms. I never intended to run that high but I had a fresh atomizer build that was 2.4 ohms and was in a bit of a rush so I used it anyway. I immediately noticed it hitting a lot hotter than normal and sure enough- the display showed 2.9 ohms and it was firing w/the volts needed for that resistance, i.e. too dam much! Went back to an atomizer that was 1.5 ohms and all was well again- display reading correctly and volts were right, too.

Told myself not to order anything but I had to get that Erlkonigin that FC dropped. It was this or the Lemo, Dark Horse, Hobo, etc.
Be aware that the FC Dark Horse is kind of janky. The airflow cutouts in the barrel are not anywhere close to 1:1 - I also managed to spin one of the negative posts. So unless you want to run it wide open all the time, I'd source a DH clone elsewhere. It does chuck though. FT has very good 1:1 (sku1926003).
My FC Hobo is somewhere between here and China. I'll update with my impressions upon it's arrival.
I'm okay with the cloud chasing attys for now. I'm more interested in different design type of attys and tanks that catches my eyes. Put that order in for more FivePawns with code HumpDay at ejuice.com
Some people haven't liked the Erlk, but I like it a lot. The Lemo is really awesome, and there are so many different ways you can run it. You can run duals/parallel and get a powerhouse vape or just single coil. Right now its hard to get though because lately all the reviewers that get a lot of views have just done one. I recommend it for everyone who likes rta's though.
Looks promising, but their selection lacks a little compared to FT. Ill be sure to keep an eye on them though. Good find OP
Please provide feedback once you receive it, especially a pic of the 510 connection after removing the derlin AFC if it's not too much trouble. I'm curious to see if it's (1) really 22mm and (2) if the 510/airflow under the AFC ring at the bottom is like the Yiloong clone i have. From the pics on FC the 510 with copper contact and AFC ring look the same as my Yiloong but the base has more more notches in it and the top cap is not as thick. I'm wondering if this is just an updated Yiloong version.
I am very attracted to: $12.43 Vaping Coil Winding Jig Tool for Rebuildable Atomizers - Silver
I don't really need a coiling jig; I use one I built. I just think the pictures make it look very good. I don't know how to show images here. I'll try a couple of links:

It looks a lot like a steel punk mod. Not bad for $12.97. I could order and then complain that it looks nothing like the pictures.

Sometimes I just have to shake my head and wonder if they have baboons doing the web site.
Noticed that this morning, lol. The new Slug clone listing has a picture of a white Apollo. Not sure why the newly listed Slug is priced the way it is. This new one is polished, I guess... looks kind of beat though.
