Lol to Canada every vendor in the US is a slowtech apparently. Why do you think it takes so long to ship to Canada from US? I get packages to Midwest US from UK, Germany, Spain and France in around a week.


Panzer, IgoW6, tweezers and some other bits and bytes.
Did ya get some of those ceramic tweezers? Been wanting to get a pair of those.

No idea why it takes so long from the US.

Nah, just regular and curved ones. I build off my mod, so ceramic does not apply.

Dusty let me know how you like the Panzer , they had a Blackhawk clone at the shop where BK works , seemed pretty smooth and well made but of course seriously overpriced .

I've used the Panzer at one of our vape meets, and could not get home fast enough to order one. I took apart the one I just received and it's gorgeous. Butter smooth on the threads, and absolutely gorgeous. Very clean design/construction.

This is the one I ordered: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1633000 It's the more expensive one, but looks to be better put together.

Maybe the reason it takes so long. It's very hard to use a rowboat on dry land. ROFLOL.

I'm thinking the USPS has us Canadian's ear marked for delayed shipping. I had somebody send something for me from Portland, OR to Robin in FLA. It took 2 days to get to her. Robin forwarded it to me, and it took 2 weeks. :facepalm:

Absolutely ridiculous!!

    Anyone know where I can get a copper drop kit that ISN'T just plated copper? I want a full copper one, but don't know if they exist lol

    Just gonna throw it out there that it's a terrible terrible idea. Copper leaches into water and other solvents VERY easily, and can have some reaaaally nasty effects on your gastrointestinal system. (The same way no one really wants to modify an atty with a copper center pin into a bottom feeder. Overall a terrible idea)

    10-4.

    I was under the impression that it was only Brass that did that.

    I'm assuming copper plating would be the same way, or no?

    Well brass is an alloy of copper and zinc :)

    Also I was operating under the impression that the copper drop kits are mostly stainless steel, with copper plating only on the exterior of the atty such that there's no copper actually in contact with the juice. I guess if there's also copper plating inside, then you would have the same issue.

    Gotcha. Hmm...

    I'm not sure if there is copper on the inside or not. I suppose since its plated though, I could buff it off with my dremel if it does arrive plated internally as well.

    It's also the same with those fancy schmancy copper or brass drip tips too. Folks go for the "cool looking" stuff, without paying attention to the safety aspect of using it. :facepalm:

    To be fair, I'm not sure how copper leaching from vapor exposure would compare to leaching into juice that's just kinda sitting around.

    That said, I wouldn't take my chances with it either. I think I've put my lungs and the rest of my body through enough abuse. I would rather err on the side of caution; Besides, I mean why give the anti-vape folks one extra reason to hate on us? I can totally imagine an article with a line saying "apart from the dangers associated with nicotine liquid, equipments used for vaping can also contribute to......"

    Shakes head.

    I'm doing great and Kayfuns still ruling my world. I keep seeing folks talking about Fogger V4 and Estia trumping Kayfuns, and maybe Q may have an opinion on that since I know he has both those, but for me, I'm not ready to give up on my KFL's.
