    If I order from fasttech and choose USPS...does someone have to be home to sign for it?
    No RJ you don't have to sign for it but you need to keep orders under 200$ to avoid problems with customs and those kayfun clones are saying 12 days to ship so thats when FT is expecting to get them in combined with the regular week or 2 shipping I might be looking at a month to receive it but I can wait for it considering 21$ and free shipping .

    I'm down with that. :D I'm patient...and the prolonging of vapemail will keep me from buying anything else. Hopefully. :laugh:

    I've come to conclude that the original Protank was better than the v2. They're all a pain though. I sold every one I own. Oddly, the pt2 mini works best of all. I have a couple of those I use for emergencies. I'm curious about the Aspire. It seems promising with very positive reviews. It's good to have something you don't have to coil that vapes as good as high end devices. On another note, I received both my 91% today. Stellar vape. Identical to the kfl with the addition of air flow control. Now I have 5 "Kayfun" devices and waiting on my conversion kits which have shipped. That'll make 7 all day. I think I'll stop there....maybe. :p Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
    The Aspire basically a mini-carto tank with dual coils , its a great convenience item and mine works flawlessly, replacement heads are more expensive than the protanks but the tank is a bargain at 10$. I'm definitively getting a few more .

    It's not a carto-tank by any means. It's a BCC or a BDC (Bottom Dual-coil Clearomizer). It just seems to have been engineered well enough to prevent gurgling and emits a much fuller flavor compared to any carto. It doesn't seem that the heads can be easily rebuilt, but that will surely change with future revisions.

    For the record, I estimate I have put at least 125 mls of Dragon's Fire through the same wick/coil in my Kayfun Lite. I just went 5 tanks before cleaning. It was ready. I have yet to experience a dry hit and I have yet to see a single molecule of leakage. I've never flooded the chamber or even so much as had a gurgle. The flavor and feel is still the best I have experienced.

    I struggle to find even a single thing to complain about my Kayfun Lite. It is far and away the best juice feeding device I have owned.

    You know what that means right?!

    The Aspire heads look like a carto with the holes punched in them but you're right that they cant be used like a carto .

    It's vaping like a champ. Reg 1.8 ohm coil since Sunday, I haven't had a chance to try the micro coil, but I like it just the way it is!

    What juice are you using, and have you cleaned or dry burned the coil since Sunday?!

    DF, HT, and DF again. Changed the wick after the first tank because I vaped it dry (burnt). Haven't dry burned the coil yet. Still using the protanks some.

    Awesome.

    Hold on, you're using Yarn in there right? If so, do not dry burn it.. it will burn!

    I still use my Protank(s) too but, just when I'm rebuilding the KFL. :)

    Currently have Pirates Booty in one, and Southern Gentleman from MOV in the other. I'm on a hiatus from DF this week.

    It took two weeks which is what I was sort of expecting so I wasn't so much antsy about that but more that I thought it would get hung up in Hong Kong forever (like some suggested it could). FT definitely has good prices because I think they do not carry inventory and ship straight from the manufacturer. But going forward, I'm not so sure waiting that long is worth the savings.

    Yeah... there is a bit of a wait... FT is one of those 'want it/don't NEED it' vendors. I mean, I've been picking up some RDAs here and there. You needed a new backup APV, right? That would be one of those situations where I'd eat the extra cost and get something from, say, Discount Vapers, where I know the thing will be at my doorstep in like 2 days.

    I went on there looking for o-rings to fix the Chimbus I have... (they both ripped)... picked up a Chrident and Chayfun... :) I'll wait the 3 weeks or so it'll take (due to the lead time on the latter).

    It depends on your financial situation , right now mine ain't so great so judicious shopping at FT helps a lot.

    Yeah... that had a big part of it. My current company is sending me packing at the end of the year, so my vaping budget was reduced to, well, nothing. But I have the next one almost certainly lined up, so I gave myself a little treat to celebrate.
