Thanks.
Just tried to order a Hussar BXR clone and looks like they aren't taking Visa cards at the moment. It was fine last December (and plenty of times before). Opened a ticket of course - wonder what weird and dodgy excuse they give.
My last order from 3f they accepted PayPal. Didn't have to buy a gift certificate or dance through any hoops.

    My last order from 3f which was yesterday, they accepted PayPal with just a couple tiny hoops ;). On the shiny front I did a pre-order for 2 Ulton Taifun GT5's. They have a couple niggly issues that I'd want to suss out before thinking of dropping large $$ on an authentic.

    I ordered the bf 510 pin for the Geekvape Z rda that doesn’t come with one. Well some people recieved them and others like me did not.

    The description Geekvape now uses for the Z’s Description is “510 bf compatible” . What the hell does that mean lol! I mean I know what it means but seriously- you couldn’t include one.

    As you may remember from the saga I contacted Geekvape and was told I’d need to purchase a bf pin from their store for under a dollar. Really????

    So because I’d bought it specifically for squonking I ordered two pins. That was the beginning of April.

    Tracking shows that it’s been in the States now for a couple of days. Sounds like very boring vape mail but I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival so I can finally use the Z.

    I’ll be sooooo disappointed after all this if I don’t like the rda lol!:(

    im still shaking my head that in 2022 over the fact that a bf pin isn’t always included. @Geekvape_Official you can do better than this.

    I checked ft after my last post and noticed they had it as a "custom order". Same as pre-order I spose.
    The main thing tempting me to order now is the price but it might be smarter to wait.


    Thanks @borno

    EDIT - Update. Just got an email from 3F. They say their Visa "credit card channel" is being repaired (whatever that means) and will be up and running next week.

    I tried ordering from 3 vape last night as well and they did have something about the the credit card channel and visa not being open. No idea why that meant but I ended up following the PayPal instructions. A bit convoluted especially for my easily confused mind lol!

    I hope you were able to finally order your basket.

    The only PayPal option I can see at checkout is the PaySend Money option. I've used that before with 3f back in the day but don't like it if I can avoid it. As I understand it, if there's a dispute about a faulty product you have no transaction listed. It's just a gift from one individual to another.

    To my horror I realized that the number of stainless steel dual coil RDAs far outnumber the black dual coil RDAs. So that needed to be addressed and quickly!

    So I ordered a black Dead Rabbit v3 RDA and a black Tauren Max. I have both of those in SS and or rainbow so they’re nothing new to me but this was all about balance lol!

    For the most part I’ve focused on single coil RBAs but sometimes I just need the very dense and large clouds from a dual coil. The Dead Rabbit v3 is definitely one of my most loved dual coil RDAs. You just can’t miss with this atty for flavor and clouds.

    So since I’ve been mostly looking at single coils does anyone have any recommendations for dual coil RDAs that I just don’t know about? The two I bought were a safe purchase since I have them already. Maybe something new. I’m tempted to try the Recurve again while hoping the top cap doesn’t fall off if you just look at it.

    So give me some ideas shinys! I need to spend some dollars!

    My first recurve was like that but the replacement ones they sent are fine. I really like the DR3 too. The newer Seri rda is pretty good too but to use dual coils instead of three you have to put the jumper link in. The coils are connected in series instead of parallel.

    I'm no help either @Pigs - only FT orders. And because I really want my Orbit, it's taking it's time.

    i took one look at the build deck on the seri and decided to pass. Not sure what all that metal does for the air channels such as turbulence.

    I keep forgetting to email customer service about the Recurve to see if they’ll send me a new cap. I need to do a quick video. I can’t remember where or even when I bought it so wish m luck with the manufacturer.

    The DR3 is a really very “powerful” and robust rda. I just love it! I also like the dead rabbit sq which is a single coil but very flavorful and dense as well. Not the same as the DR3 but a really good single coil vape.

    I picked up a rebirth rda on the classifieds but haven’t gotten around it trying it yet.

    I have actively watched as a site first had PayPal available and not credit cards unless you wanted to do their gift card thing or something like that or do some sort of communication with the PayPal situation like you couldn't do it direct. And then the very next day it was the opposite for the same item. But for some reason overall lately I'm having less trouble with payments than I had last year maybe it's the stuff that I'm getting isn't as obviously related to this thing we have or maybe it's just a really convoluted process sometimes

    I was actually looking at one of their RDAs the other day and I backed out of my purchase because I remembered someone had an issue where they didn't include the 510 and then didn't want to send them the 510 that wasn't included. Now if you buy something from them you've got a wonder is it going to include the battery door? Will it have a 510 connection for the atomizer? What part are they going to sell separately this time that is required for the use of the product?

    *I do realize that you don't need the BF pin to use it however those advertisements most definitely did reference it being a squonking RDA. It's very clear that they made a mistake and didn't include it. And when you make a mistake as a business you should make it right otherwise what other mistakes may they make and decide to act as though they meant to do that and you're just out of luck

    I agree it’s ridiculous to not include the BF pin. I didn’t get a pin when I reviewed it and if I remember correctly Mike Vapes commented on it in his video review. I don’t have to worry about it any more. Geekvape has decided to break ties with myself and at least two other people who write reviews here on ECF. They haven’t told us that but refuse to respond to our messages and emails since late last year. They could have at least had the decency to contact us if they were making changes. I did see that someone fro Geekvape is still running their section of the forum but will not answer pm’s.
