The more I use AliExpress, the less I like/trust them. Their search engine is deceptive.
I get a few hits but mostly 80% that have nothing to do with what I'm searching for.
Genuine junk search engine.
I won't spend any more time there.

Ok, your decision has solidified mine - no more time wasted on them.
Whether buying raw aluminium, ss304, brass, peek, pmma, it works well enough to get an overview and make decent trades. The Chinese are the world's biggest producers of many metals.

When I've been looking for vape related to bb I get far too much junk in the search results.
I will be buying bits & pieces from 2FDeal.

2fdeal have a huge range of boro-related gear and other interesting stuff but I have problems with their site. A few times now, I've put various items in my cart and when I get to checkout the cart empties, the site freezes and I have no record of what I'd chosen. Also inputting my shipping details is weird - it resets and won't save them.
It's a pity because they have items that I can't find anywhere else.

I was getting worried about my 3F package, no news since 12/7. Then this morning I got not one but two updates. Think I'm still a little worried though.

I received a small vape Mail today, from Signature Tip, UK.

It looked like the package was lost for a long time, then finally it went to the customs authorities, where they didn't collect customs money, then it sat for 4 days without tracking, arrived in the mailbox today even though the postman doesn't go out this Monday.

Will try the jig tomorrow and compare it against the one from Vandy vape.

They have a good selection for our boro projects, 3FVape are always empty and it is more doubtful if they will even get them in again.
It's not just you having problems with 2FDeal, I can't get shipping choices, seems your country and mine are very highly regarded in China.

    Morning shinies ;)

    I agree 100% that the Aliexpress search engine sucks. For vape gear everything has to be disguised so I normally just search for 510 or something simple like sxk. But 9/10 I go with 3f instead of they have it.

    For everything else I get the best results by being more specific. But it's still hit and miss. We don't have Amazon here, So they are best way for me to get little things like phone covers etc

    You're right. I can't remember any time they re-stocked a "sold out" item. I guess there are so many new products coming in, it's not worth their while sourcing the small stuff again. Anyway, it is a pity because there's always something in the recently sold out category I want to buy.

    I've been to, well, Christmas shopping.
    Centenary Diplomat batch 4 was put up for sale, of course I didn't get hold of it quickly enough, but I was able to buy deck, nano kit, airpin kits, so this will make a complete atty.
    Then I went to Italy, and bought it there, with an extra drip tip, and I've always wanted to try La Tabaccharia net, Cavendish and Virginia came into the cart.
    An expensive evening, but I have reached the finish line in terms of all the brands I wanted.

    Did any of you that stockpiled have a profile 1.5 rda or three stashed?
    I only have the one and the orings are wearing out. I had bought several original profiles but guess i forgot to order more 1.5's.
    There are none available after scouring and inquiring many places.
