I don't think ft is the problem; seems China and CA customs are where packages are getting stalled.

Definitely customs on the US side. From the looks of it, FT is like a main hub to a bunch of subsidiary vendors or something. A few of my orders have items awaiting shipment with an ETA of arrival slated 2 weeks out from the date of the order. So either they were unaware of their stock when I chose to "add to cart" and had to get a replacement shipment to restock it, or they advertise an item and then have it shipped to them before sending it out. Regardless in either case, their logistics efficiency is a nightmare.

Have it out with extention already installed but haven't put a build in yet. I'll try to remember to get to it soon Ange. I don't generally get in a hurry with bottom af rtas. Have a mix with the wf salmiak licorice that's almost mature I was thinking about for the reload s rta test run.

I'm not in a rush, as I'm still in podmodshinyitis ing mode

f- or sh-? O.O

Couldn't be bothered in this case. The hoops to jump through...bought from 3F on sale a fair while ago. I'll fix it with some glue.

Might not hurt to try - maybe they've had several complaints with it and would be willing to just send you out a new one free of charge.

Not a gimmick. It's a clone of the I'M Infinity Mods original. SXK make excellent quality clones for the most part. The authentic of this mod used a DNA 60 and the SXK version is using the Sevo 70 board. I've got a few mods with the Sevo 70 and it's a pretty reliable chipset.
For me the only reason I wouldn't buy the Insider SBS is the 23mm diameter limit - most of my attys are 24mm diameter.

Yeah, I noticed down in the reviews that, that was a complaint. I'm sure I could find an atty somewhere, lol. Thank you for the thorough response.

My sourcemore orders have been taking about a month where they used to take about 10 days.

2 weeks of that time they are probably sitting in your local sorting center.

I just read up some discussions on FT about the mod. One guy says it fits 24mm attys fine and others say you just need to sand off a 1mm sliver of ABS in one spot and it fits 24mm.
The 510 plate is 24mm diameter so there'd be no overhang at the base.

Same Chipset as the SXK-BB 79watt?: FastTech Forums

Still not as bad as FT or HC, lol.

I was talking smoother not necessarily more open.
I've never vaped either DL or DL FL with
inserts removed entirely but with comparable inserts in I'm in Rob Fisher's camp of preferring the DL air over the FL.

So do you vape your DL with no inserts at all?

Yup....no inserts at all and in comparison as I said the FL is much more open all though I have to agree with you that the DL is the better vape especially on flavour. Quite different if you load them with the same juice...the DL picks out more of the top notes while the FL tends to favour the bottom notes/creams etc.....never tried any inserts so can't comment on that
Correction...preinstalled insert!!

 

[charlie1465]

I use the 4mm id insert instead in my DL's, cuz I'm an airhead

I use no inserts at all and yes you can definitely have the pink ones although I do look pretty in pink

 

[charlie1465]

@Z-Lee warned me...way to jinx it..I think were his words.

Well my lucky run with the famously unpredictably unreliable Mechlyfe Paramour SBS might be coming to an end. The battery tube has started to loosen in its cage and has developed a slight wobble. Unlike the Mixx and other SBS it doesn't screw in place so I'm not sure a fix will be easy.

It's not a huge deal yet - still vapes fine and no sign of the infamous 510 problems that @ShowMeTwice and others have experienced but still a sign of poor quality/workmanship and annoying.

I might have to come into line re the Paramour but still no sign of problems with all mine....maybe you're all a bit heavy handed

 

[charlie1465]

I'm waiting for Guinea@Pigs
to try it first. Or I may have to be the guinea pig

I asked Rob Fisher what he thought about his and he said he liked it but still preferred the Dvarw DL....enough info for me not to try it

If it's anything like the UK after Brexit then I agree. In France nearly everything is being stalled at the border because of extra checks but if it's routed through the Netherlands then no problems....I wish that was an option with more UK vendors but I guess they just don't have the NL postal service yet except if you're a big company that can order from different EU countries.

Not sure on the build quality but something just screams 'don't buy it' with me. If you get one...let me know how it goes

 

[charlie1465]

@Pigs I'll have to check my preinstalled inserts on the FL and DL!! I'm so used to the preinstalled being the airiest that I never check. If there's a difference then I need to change out the FL to bring it into line with the DL....lol. Lazy vaper strikes again
