Both Singapore Post and Malaysia Post is free shipping with tracking. I never use the Regular Air Mail option. YMMV according to where you're at.
I haven't tried Singapore or Malaysia yet. I tend to make large orders and haven't been sure if those locations would have everything.

Was hoping I was done for a while but busted an X8 tank. Actually the puppies knocked it over while playing.
Tried to replace with a Glass IBTanked tube and broke it:(

So, I just placed another order to try and cut my losses before doing more damage. Yea, Right.

I have that tip... I was disappointed with it. Turns out it's a wide mouth drip tip. If you like that style, then it's a nice tip, but with only 1 o-ring, it doesn't sit completely secure.

I have the same KFL on order though, looking forward to getting that. The feedback on it is mostly positive, so I think it's a fantastic deal.

It's true.. can't buy just one thing. I went on there with the intention of buying 1 or 2 things.. ended up with a shopping cart worth over $100. But man, you get SO MUCH for that... you STILL can't get just 1 mod for that price, and I've got 3 coming, along with 3 atomizers, a drip tip, 6 top caps.... it's SO AWESOME!! I love FT.... lol.

Hopefully the Drip tip will fit more snug in the Ordered KFL. Knew it was wide mouth but that is perfect for opening up air flow on a KFLThat is what I use the Slash/muffler tips for. They go well with the Brushed KFL+

Hoping the KayFun will work out. Got my second KFL+ Black Edition and it has a Shallow wick screw hole threading(Stops short)
For the price of a Tap I got the KFL from FT. I'll set the Black Edition aside until I can find and borrow the proper Tap and repair.

Got a package from FT today; the first since the holiday. Funny thing is I had 2 orders in that shipped before the holiday (each of which got split into 2 shipments!), this one went in during the holiday, and I got this one before the other two/four!

Another order (still pending) - On Friday, it was waiting on 1 item (restocking), on Sat every item was re-stocking, on Sunday everything was "Ready to ship" except a DIFFERENT item, which is now "restocking"!

However, my advice is also to "wait it out". If you have a big order that's just waiting on one or two items, you can put in a ticket to have them split it into 2 shipments, which they usually will do (although by the time they process your ticket, the missing stuff is likely to have already come in). They have also (on their own) split up shipments for me when an item was holding things back (maybe they'll do that with the order I was talking about??)

I tried out one of their knives as having a handy pocketknife was on me to do list. I did like the switchblade but hey I'm a bit old for that malarkey and didn't fancy six years in prison for one so opted for the little Benchmade clone.

So I gave this a try and was actually quite impressed, tiny little thing that can sit in a pocket no probs, lightweight, sharp as a razor and so far has kept its edge on all sorts of cutting and whittling chores its been put to so far, UK customs didn't have an issue with it either which is good.

I might have to get one of those and take it over to Benchmade and see what they think of it. (I live about 30 min. away from their headquarters). :evil:

Edit: as of 2010, all Benchmade knives are made in the U.S., so those are a pretty blatant clone. Nice looking though. I might have to get all three. :D

After some digging, its not a Benchmade design but a flagrant ripping of their logo, seems more than a few not knowing how to close 'em have come close to cutting fingers off. I haven't a clue about knives nowadays, I've sharpened my old sheath knife so much its about 2 thirds its original length and I snapped the end off and the last decent one I had was an old Sykes commando one and that got nicked as they are worth a fortune and was one of the last issued before moving to more modern blades in the RM.

This was also badged as a CRKT and a Rimei in silver both now discontinued so I imagine there was a leetle cease and desist going on there.

My daily carry is my grandfather's old two bladed Case knife. I've had it since I was about eight years old. It used to have a grippy pattern in the handle, but it's been worn smooth with age. The blades are about half as thick and twice as sharp as they were when it was new. :D

It's a remnant from a time when all men wore watches, carried knives, and had a handkerchief for emergencies.

For anybody that is interested, a 2 ohm single coil on an Aqua clone. I pull my cotton through the coil, split my cotton into two sections on each end, twist the sections, pull two sections with needle tip tweezers between the center posts, and down the two "back" channels. The other two sections I put in the front channels. Quite easy. The only tricky part is getting the right amount of cotton. You want it thick enough to fill in the coils. Too thick, the cotton burns, too thin, floods like crazy for awhile.
