The order before last I made from FT (#A012542487) took 43 days, but at least I did eventually receive it. Order #A021409254 was made 2-14-15 and am still waiting on it.

My last order from them was made on Jan 29 and finally got to me on March 9 broken in tiny pieces. I paid extra for faster shipping too. They would not send replacements. PayPal got my money back.

Another day of no movement on my flask. Still says "origin post preparing for shipment".

HD

That tracking status does not mean that your shipment is not moving, in fact I am sure it is in transit. Due to a lot of issues at USPS lately they will not be updating tracking on international first class packages as they have been in the past. This is a fairly new development .. So the tracking will continue to say origin post preparing for shipment until the package actually clears customs in the US.

I think Nikki is going the authentic route now.


So true :) ... So I guess it's good that FC got that hcigar HB40 :banana: I ordered a Silver one :) .. But I did also get the K.loud and Diver 2 clones too. I have been interested in the authentic versions of both, but since the clone did come along I will try to see if I like the design enough to get the authentic versions of either.

Too bad an hcigar rep decided to harass Doris on skype a couple of days ago about selling below MAP :( .. notice the price increase?

Ah, well I'll have to bop over there and say hey. I've been sidetracked lately myself, it dawned on me today that I haven't seen her post her for a while. I was worried she was sick or something happen, happy to hear she's OK. Your right, it's not the same without her charm. :)

Errr .. I must have missed that bop over Willy :glare: ... :p

    *Hugs* Paul :) ... and look who has a new avatar eh? :)

    Good to see you in here Nikki, you've been missed :)

    Yes new avatar for basketball season, but my team lost now, so be time for a change again soon ;)

    See above you talking about TP, I got the kangxin V3 flask from focal, the 1 I waited 6 weeks from the other place only lasted a week before dying :facepalm:

    Didn't get it for the TP, but at some point may try some of them kanger Ni200 coils, just to see the difference :)

    Thank you. Late this morning it updated to passing through Chicago. Should have it in a couple of days. I'm happy now. Thanks again.

    Oh it basketball season eh? Go Paul's team! :laugh: :p ... I think you look just like that avatar :p

    Cool deal on the Kangxin Flask .. I have been using both the Waidea and Kangxin side by side for the last week and half, but its too bad that something is going a little haywire with the Kangxin though :cry: Its giving me atomizer open although I have not changed atties, and no amount of adjusting it making a connection.

    Kanthal mode works but the atomizer resistance is all over the place, and this just started today .. never had a problem with the Kangxin before this. I am letting it rest now to see if it just needs a break or something? :unsure:

    Well I finally got my DNA 40 board from the co-op but unfortunately I got the large screen and the screen will not fit in the ZNA even if I have it milled out to open it up. The shape of the front of the ZNA with the steps don't leave enough metal. mikepetro is going to run another co-op in a couple weeks, this time for both the DNA 40's (both large and small screen) and the DNA 25 so I'll get in on that and get the regular size screen in the 25, I'll never go above 25 watts anyways. I do have the Hana clone I could put the 40 board in but I'm not sure if I want to mess with it right now, got so many other projects going now that it's getting warmer outside. Besides I really want the ZNA to have the TP board. I may end up selling the 40 board, we'll see what happens.

    So how did you like the wire I sent and are you diggin the TP scene?

    The tempered wire is much much better to work with, so thank you. The biggest difference is that tempered coils little more like Kanthal, instead of chewing gum like annealed Ni200.

    As far as TP becoming my new normal?? Hmm, not sure about that even as I am using it wayyyy more now, but that it because I have all of these TP devices to review. I can see the benefit of it with more delicate flavors, and I have at least warmed up to it since I first tried TP with the Vaporshark rDNA.

    I am really looking forward to the Hcigar Box though, especially since it is the updated version with proper ground connections and a clear display screen. It will be nice to have another authentic Evolv DNA board to compare in real time against the Kangxin and Waidea Flasks. :)

    Speaking of TP... my Hana V4d will be here tomorrow. I picked it up so I'd have something I can compare to the $40 Hana DNA40 clone I received for review, lol. Makes perfect sense. :facepalm:

    I haven't used TP before so it'll be a learning curve, I'm sure. I have some 28ga annealed Ni200 showing up on Thursday and ordered two spools of 30ga tempered. I have no idea when the tempered will show up since I ordered it from the UK.

    If I jive with the DNA40, I'm going to build a GDNA bottomfeeder.
