They are sorry but they are having internal server problems...

I thought so, but all y'll have been posting FT links and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't open them.

I was worried that I was banned from FT for changing my orders while they were being processed too many times.

How are you doing, Opinionated?

 

[Katya]

Hmmm... just tried and I got the same. Rebooting didn't help here either. All other web sites are fine.

Just saw OP's post. Server problems, argh.

Now I feel better. That's it's not just me, that is.

FT is busy. Courtesy of FDA.

I like a steady crackle but can do without the pops. And the snaps.

Ditto. That said, my Ares is very quiet. And smooth. Surprisingly so.

 

[Katya]

I really need to start making lists that say things like "nearly out of x flavor, order more!"...

There's an app for that. I'm pretty sure one of those fancy ejuice calculators does that, can't remember which one.

I'm doing fine. Trying to do things from bed this last week, not as successful as I would have liked... lol..

My son got me everything from the kitchen I needed to make juice in bed, that's definitely easier sitting at the table... lol. I did manage 240ml of cobbler though.

I've paired down my filing cabinet well, thrown out a lot of unnecessary things. Trying to sort through all my clothes so I can give away a lot to the thrift store. I'm about half done with that...

My husband and son are packing the kitchen as we speak... getting there, but it's not been easy. We've decided not to stress moving so much and are just planning on being finished by the 20th...

That's my deadline where I'm back in bed until surgery because we have another 12 hours in the car on the 21st... and since last weeks trip I've not been able to get out of bed hardly at all; my back is just destroyed at this point, so we are planning the same after the trip on the 21st.

I see the pulmonologist tommorow and he'll arrange a full workup and sleep study prior to surgery per neurosurgeons request.

My head is just spinning a bit, and feeling a lot useless. Lol... Trying not to stress out but not having much luck.

ECF helps.. a lot.

My love to all of you..

Yeah I can't figure out how that things works to remind me that I'm out. According to them I'm never out, so I'm not sure how to use that feature correctly I suppose.. lol

Well I took it out of my FT order this morning... the Dwarv is in now (early) so as soon as the Brunhilde is in (6th) they can ship it... decided the Ares wasn't worth the wait.

Hopefully hubby won't be too disappointed..

If you think he needs it maybe I'll look for a U.S. vendor.

Monday vape spam incoming...

I'm havin' a berry good day.

 

[Katya]

I was just thinking about that. Even with roughly the same wattage as I use on the Zlides and Zeniths, the vapor production seems much higher. I would imagine the juice consumption is also higher too. I know that last night while trying it out, I ended up getting a little dizzy for a bit.

Yes. I'm pretty sure that the provided coil is 26g kanthal, which, for me, was a surprise, as I've never used that gauge; I'm used to 29 and 28g kanthal. Which also made me realize that I wasn't using enough power to run it properly. I started at 9 and 10 watts, my usual setting for 29/28g coils, and it just wasn't cutting it. I blamed the atty, but it was my silly user error. Only when I worked my way up 12-14 watts did my Ares suddenly wake up.

I'm going to use my own coil (28g) next and see what happens. But I'm much happier with my Ares 2 now since I increased the wattage.

I know what you are going through. You know She went through this twice. Memories.

Just do your best to relax, if at all possible. I know that's real hard to do being in such debilitating pain. But you know what I mean.

You have my thoughts, prayers, good vibes + virtual (((hugs))).
I know your DH and son are the best home care for you!!!

Much love back atcha! Hang in there. What else can I say. You have friends here, FWIW. We'll listen and care and send you hugs and kisses whenever you need them.

What's your timeframe? I got mine from Sourcemore, it was next day shipping and got here in 11 days, door-to-door, with USPS last minute follies included. $4.74 shipping. I got it for 19 bucks because I had brownie points, bronze level, whatever. The whole order was 23 bucks including shipping.

Innokin Ares 2 D24 RTA 4ml MTL rebuildable tank atomizer

 

[Nailz]

Vapemail when got home from work, hopefully it is as good as it looks, wasn't the cheapest, but get a lot for your money though

View attachment 899965

Got it built and working, really liking so far, really good flavor, already thinking of getting another 1 or 2 of them, will give it a few days to see if any problems pop up, but is a winner for me so far.

 

[Fredman1]

Yeah those are the 2 hole FL DL inserts, but these were the single hole FL DL inserts - FT has mislabelled them as MTL 24mm instead of DL:
$4.43 2PCS SXK Replacement Single Hole Airflow AFC Insert for Dvarw MTL FL 24mm RTA 2-pack - 1*2.5mm/1*3.0mm at FastTech - Free Shipping

Thanks for reminding me. With all the Dvarw stuff at FT it gets kind of wonky trying to keep it all together.
I sure am happy we have you!!!

Thanks you two. I'm sucking it dry (can't waist the good stuff) as we speak. It's actually very juice efficient. Want to measure which size I have in now, and decide where to go from there.

I just double check and it does say 26g on those prebuilt coils. I am glad you are liking it more than you did a few days ago. When I end up buying wire I was planning on getting 28g because that seems to be what a lot of MTL users prefer. As of right now, I am vaping it at 12 watts and it has been pretty good all day.

I prefer faster coils. IMO, 26g is just too slow for MTL builds.

I'm glad yours is working fine. Mine is growing on me, too. It's moving up on my list of favorites. And it's so user friendly. Easy to build, no leaks, just works. And just enough airflow for me.

If you are thinking about the Ares 2, I got mine from MyFreedomSmokes.com. Now, I purchased two, so I qualified for free shipping. But I do know I spent right around 50 to 52 bucks total including shipping for 2 of them. I used this code (NEWMFS15) for 15 percent off the order. It took about 4 or 5 days for me to receive the order as well.

I agree. In fact, I am ready to say that this is by far the best RTA I have ever used in my life.

 

[Hightech Redneck]

Oh, got shipping notices for both my Heavy Hitter mech and Ardent RDA yestersday. Gonna be a good week for vape mail

Speaking of which

Really nice so far.
Didnt like the way most of my black rda looked so went with the se until i can remedy that.

 

[Skunk!]

My preference is side fire... for real. I bought a regular mech, but I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the fire button...

I've decided to save that for the storm... lol.

Nice looking mod that purge is... That Valhalla is exquisite too.. I'd go for it if I could afford.
