Yup, same here. First time this has happened...

The fast shipping was one of the deciding factors in my decision to order from them. It's prob due to their sale and not having the stock which if true really annoys me. It's very annoying when a company lists a product as if they have it currently in stock but are in fact out. Your order then sits there in limbo until they get more product in. If they mentioned that possibility on their site you'd at least be aware of that possibly happening. Some sites won't do that though as they know they'd lose sales to people not wanting to wait. Fishy business practice I don't very much care for. Not saying that's what's happening here but it's looking that way.

USPS shows mine as being picked up today at least!
 
not sure if this has been posted but it helped me a ton! i went from having wicking issues to wicking great

Hey hey hey, I made it. Do I get a prize or something? 206 pages. Woot. Now that I am comfortable with the STm, where can I find info on juices that work well with it. I get good vape, nice warmth, no taste. I know it's all subjective. Thoughts?

I'd say, just experiment and first find the PG/VG ratio you prefer. Personally I prefer 70+% High VG stuff, but everyone's different.

Have you tried the RBA deck yet? It's incredible with a good coil and wick!

Wow, that's the method I've gone to the last few times, to make certain I didn't choke the wick. More wick works better in this RBA!

I don"t have a way to take pics at this time, but after reading some of the later posts i have compared my two STms. Both were purchased from MVS. The latest one came with red/orange O rings installed and an extra black set. The only differences I can see, the air ring slot is larger and spare black O rings. The deck holes look identical.Typed with one hand, the other holding ice to my cheek where a tooth used to reside.

Wow ok I meant to try out the 1.2 coil first but mine came with the .5 installed and I forgot to check. Tossed in a bit of my own RY4 12mg recipe and it kicked my ..... I knew after reading some of this thread I'd likely need two sets of RY4. One for my egrip and a lower Nic version for my ST but I had to try it first. Gonna make a much lower strength version(at least 6), swap coils, and try again.

Been a steep and quick learning curve for me. Started Vaping the first week of this year. Have gone from an iTaste EP buying store bought clearomizers and juices, to an eGrip/Derringer(for testing of juices)/Kanger ST Mini on an iStick 30w and creating my own coils/juice. A lot of change in a few months but I pretty much have a setup for every occasion and have enough supplies for my girl(she's got a Nautillus Mini on an iStick 30w) and I to be self sufficient for many many years to come. Good times.

Yep wondering if the good green will eat up the peek insulators or o-rings:D
I can vouch, the STMini with Tan/brown insulators is pluid safe..

I did try to push the brass center pin up on the base of the Mini, but the VaporShark still said "check atomizer" not sure why. But here is a pic of the little black o-ring in place. Doesn't seem like it would make much of a difference but it got mine working..

Dont have a small oring, I wonder if attaching a small magnet (like the ones used to convert flat top to button top batteries) would work just as good?

Just wondering, has anyone here tried the FastTech knockoff of the Mini? You can get one without the Rba deck for less than $15... Just wondering if authentic coils (occ and rba) fit inside okay and if it's built fairly well no leaks and such?

I absolutely love my mini. I bought one for me and one for my girlfriend... Then I accidentally broke the threaded part of the cage off mine by over tightening it. I immediately bought another one because I couldn't go back to my cheap clearos... I sent the cage to kangertech to hopefully be fixed but in any event I'll at least have extra parts and an extra rba base.

Now I'm thinking about ordering a couple of those knockoffs just to mainly keep occ's in and use as beat around tanks to throw in my pocket when I'm working on the car or doing stuff outside or whatever.

I also want to commend Vape Super Saver. I placed three different orders with them and received them all within three days of ordering. Plus the prices along with free shipping are unbeatable -- all together I ordered three minis, a pack of o-rings, a pack of coils, and a kbox; for a combined total of about $130. My local vape shop was asking $60 for a mini and $50 for the kbox (I would've spent like literally double there).
