Neo, Keith has AW batts. Think they decent priced so just go over to empire and get some rather then wait days. Aw are my go to. I have efest and some other brand EF. STILL order aw.

Who's Keith? Is he that ECF member dude? He's on vacation for two weeks. SuperT is out of AW IMR and so is one other popular vendor (I can't remember who...Lighthound??). At least they were when I checked a few days ago. Seems to be a battery shortage going on.

Haha, Keith is a great guy and runs an awesome little vape shop. Everyone over at Empiremods is super friendly and ready to help.

MrpicC, Rob says hi. I was talking about HHV and he said he knows a guy that loves the juice that just moved. I mentioned your name and he said yeah that's him! He told me to say hi on ECF =]

Picked up some AW IMRs a couple of weeks ago for my VV device, just wanted to make sure they were good to use in the mechanical, you guys put me at ease that the thing won't explode in my face, thanks!

I'm not a battery expert either, but I'm confident you can't go wrong with AW IMR batts.

Geez, Sept 12! My SVD order from Slowtech was shipped on Sept. 30. I see it made it to Hong Kong on Oct. 5. I did not order batteries but I don't know if this makes a difference in HK queue time.

Why in the hell do they go through Hong Freaking Kong anyway?! That's the only way? I remember the Brits sending colonists to an undiscovered land in 1607 to start a colony they would name Jamestown. One of their primary tasks was to discover a new trading route so they didn't have to go through the Orient. Here we are 406 years later and we're still trying to find a different trading route? Sheesh!!! I'll bet no one lives in that undiscovered land anymore. It's worthless! :)

I have a FT order that shipped on the 6th of September and it just hit the US. And I got a hold of usps and they said that they can't do anything for me cause it was in customs. It was a 26 dollar order. I don't think I will be ordering from them for a while.

Yeah, I'm with you Smit. I'm not waiting no month for a dang PV. That's ridiculous. Why they go through Hong Kong is beyond me other than they save costs by shipping direct from the manufacturer (likely). And since most of the vape gear we buy is made in China, it all gets funneled to Hong Freaking Kong.

Screw this. I wont order from Slowtech again. Now we know what our favorite vendors are talking about when they say they are waiting on their supplier deliveries.

I don't remember Bridge waiting a month for her VAMO. Maybe that is made somewhere other than China.

never mind, The DNA 20 seems to be a cutting-edge circuit in some higher-end Mods.

I think its attraction is that there is no/little power dump so it can supply higher watts (like 20 watts) whereas many/most/all other PVs incur a power dump and can supply only 15 watts. These super subohm geeks want an efficient mod that can pump them 20 watts to light up their 0.3 ohm devices.

More Power!!!!

Sounds like More Testosterone! to me. :laugh:

Last night I inadvertently wrapped a 0.8 micro-coil. Should have used 12- 14 wraps instead of ten. On a Mini 2.1 that's approaching 18 or 19 Watts. Lotsa vapor, but I'm not so sure it isn't wrecking the flavor on this BA Mango Vanilla I'm trying for the first time...

Ha ha ha!! Weakling!!! :)

I wanted to wait on the Russian 91% before I decided which one I wanted to order more of but, with the Kayfun pretty much working flawlessly and the draw being just right for me, I decided to just go for another K-Lite.

Let's hope I don't live to regret the decision. :)

Dust, by all accounts there is not a rat's ... difference between the two. And it doesn't sound like the 91% is around the corner so if you really want another device then you made the right decision. You getting it from InTaste again?

Yes I am. It shipped within 1/2 hour of me placing the order, and is supposedly scheduled for delivery tomorrow a.m.

I'm guessing that will depend on if it makes the night flight over from Germany. ;)
