I only went and ordered a bloody lite in the end, didn't I.
Knew I would.. It's like mtl tourettes, just can't help myself.
Have you considered the BYka v8 rta, supposedly will do mtl , 22mm , like v6 , with improvement of V7, so a mash of both best bits,

I feel your pain lol. Both Hasturs, and the third Fresia plus replacement glasses are still drifting across the ocean to me. Today just marks two weeks since they shipped, hoping they show up at customs this week.

I got my new Hastur top cap thingy in today's mail, so the glass should seat properly, fingers crossed.

I can't manage putting it on to see how well it works right now... today was a 'see the doctor day' and I'm down for at least the rest of the day, if not the weekend. I'm resting comfortably enough though so all is well..

But - as soon as I try it out I'll update everyone on the fixed version of the Hastur..

    Evening (or whatever your time is where you guy's are).
    Did any of you try the siren 2. Wasn't my cup of tea as a tight as you like mtl fan but it was easily the best top fill rta for those with dexterity issue's and offered a decent vape from tight mtl to a restricted lung hit.
    I'd actually forgotten I'd reviewed one but as I remember now I really liked the build quality and vape. Decent size too. I've some pf fogs eton mess (a really good strawberry pud that actually tastes of real strawberry not strawberry shake) in the eden mods Rose v3 tonight. Liking this asmodus colossal too. Very good little set up.
    Hope all are well and hope you feel better @Opinionated .

    I've used cigabuy twice b4, 10-14 day shipping @ $3.77 with ubi-express

    Authentic Cthulhu Hastur MTL 3.5ML RTA - Silver $21.99

    Good to know--I've never used them before. And after Kat's and Opinionated's problems with VapeSourcing, I'm a bit hesitant to try new vendors.

    I just can't figure out who sells the updated version. So far, only FT states clearly that their Hasturs are "new and improved." Other vendors, including a few in the States, provide no information whatsoever.

    I really liked the 2 for my husband, but he likes a tighter draw than myself. I personally found it insufficient for my airflow needs, but as for ease of use I'd give it a perfect 10..

    One of the best "top end" tanks I tried last year was out of Turkey. The spica pro. Again for those at the tighter end but plenty of adjustment and you could actually adjust the height of the coil chamber to lower or up the throat hit. Incredible tank but very pricey. (To be honest as I said before, I still can't beat the hasturs. Even the 1928 squonk rda version is first class).

    I'll email and ask. They added them to their site in Feb, but I dunno which version they sell

    The improvements were introduced in August 2018, so they all should all be the new version, but one never knows. I don't think the vendors would just throw away the old ones... I'll probably order from FT. I get their stuff in 2 weeks or so.

    And thanks! :)

    I can confirm ft do have the new stock.
    Obviously as I order from the UK they offer the ukepack option that hasn't taken more than 8 days door to door in over eighteen month's or so and scores of orders.
    Do they offer a USepack postage option.. It's definitely worth the extra couple of dollars.

    It's included/automatic with orders over $20 or so. When it's less, I pay a little extra postage to get tracking. US parcel post or some such.

    Excellent. I checked the other day and I've placed over two hundred orders over four years with fastech and I've only had one parcel go awol. Even then they refunded me within 72hrs of notification and it was Royal mail that lost the parcel. Such a good company.
