@Pigs it's good to know you've got the Haku source right on your doorstep :) you'll have to pay them a visit and have a browse :thumb:
I'm most interested in getting my hands on a titanium Xeta, or even an SS one. I only have one and a half (clones) and they are in my top 3 BB RBAs, so would like one more. No more Xeta clones at Chinese sites that I can see.
Couldn't see a Haku Xeta on the Regency website but I've sent them an email. Maybe they can dig one up.

There was a little earthquake very close to me not long ago and the house has been shakin' all about:w00t:
It didn't do any damage to anything, the worse thing that happened is my Good Wood started to shake and nearly tip over:shock:
That was a proper shake mate. Saw the news just now...6 on the scale at 10km deep. Some damage in Melbourne to. I didn't even realise Australia has earthquakes :w00t:

Shipping seems to be a mess at the moment....blocages at Chinese ports, backlogs of raw materials, electronic components etc.,etc

Tell me about it. All my stuff from different places seems to have halted. Nothing has moved for a while now. It seems to be stuck in transit...whatever that means.

    It was a pretty decent one Mate, a bit of damage was done right at the epicenter of it. I live about 200km away and was shaking a fair amount here. It was the biggest in OZ since 1966:thumb:

    I've got one package that says delivered on 17track but it's still in Hong Kong!!! I've just contacted 3Avape to see what's going on o_O:cry::grr:

    There has been a few small aftershocks but I didn't feel anything, hopefully it all settles down!
    I'm not exactly sure what the cause was, they're not a regular occurrence here at all:)

    The epicenter of the earthquake was 2-3 hundred kilometres away from the City of Melbourne and that was where any damage was done. Melbourne City Central just shook like crazy and no damage at all:wub:

    Our plates are just ancient and set, mostly. Some of the oldest plates. So most times they are just happy to rest

    That is my understanding of how we are different to the younger land of san andreas etc

    And another SBS hits the vaping scene....bit cheap. Who's going to test it??

    Hippovape B’adapt pro 100W SBS box mod
    I like the look of it. How about you test it out for us Charlie? If its wiring is anything like the Kudos make sure you wear rubber boots when you put a battery in.
    Or we could draw lots.
    Second thoughts how about @Zazie dives in. I know she is as keen as mustard to buy her first SBS. :evil:

    Or @NolaMel could swap her Dani sbs for a new B'adapt. I'll buy the B'dapt and make sure it works then we can meet in the middle of a bridge at the dead of night and make the exchange.

    Yes as I understood it Australia stayed put when what is now India broke off and moved north to crash into another plate. I thought that Oz was fairly stable in that sense.

    I tried the Arbiter Solo with a 3mm 316 Clapton mtl coil and may have stuffed too much wick first time out. I was getting some cotton taste but not a dry hit. It seems to get better the more I use it. I’ll try it more after work to see if I need to rewick it. It’s really cool how you can turn the top to quickly switch from mtl to Rdl but still have the top airflow control. It’s a really different design.

    Lost Vapes got back to me regarding which of their products take the UB coil. I chose 2 Gemini's and two UB Sub-Ohm tanks. Like usual I will buy more to be able to use up what I have :facepalm:
    Guess I will toss these remaining Thelema's (3-4 of them) to the back of the apocalypse box to use as throwaways.

    I forgot, how long were they lasting? I used the review sample I got for quite a while and bought another one and neither failed on me but I always have 10-15 in rotation with the constant flow of incoming review samples. I really did like the Thelema pod quite a bit.

    They got back to me and told me they are actually owned by Haku. Good to know I don't have to do the facebook dance now for any new Haku products.
    That has me wondering if the Steve I've been texting with from Regency is the same Steve who is the designer of the Haku Venna (Haku Engineering). If I lived in lovely Sydney I would be making a trip to Regency Vapour, right quick, after the lockdown.

    They have some really nice looking custom Venna's (and likely more Haku gear). I like the Ti-black and also the blue one.

    They also have a Rainbow Venna.

    My Haku Venna is set for Monday delivery. DHL tracking says it departed Sydney at 22:04 local. :thumbs:

    Yes, @Pigs I agree with Charlie. But do take a GoPro and stream it live so we can browse with you. :D

    How is he? He had been quite unwell for a while there
