I also ordered some of the magnets for the Nemesis, because I've seen them mentioned here before.
Why exactly do I need them and how do I use them?

They can make the Nemesis switch a bit smoother. You disassemble the switch, remove the springs, with the FT magnets some insert 2 magnets stuck together first then one with the opposing polarity and reassemble switch. For me I found it better to put down a 510 drip tip oring then 1 magnet and then another opposing magnet. Less resistance but enough to keep it from firing when standing on my copper Nemesis.
If you don't mind a bit of filing and tinkering, it's a decent mod. From what I understand, both the A and B version share the same issues, so if you do buy it, go with the B version, it's cheaper.
I like the locking mechanism, but it's just about the only thing that impresses me on this mod. I'm thinking about selling mine to a co-worker. I've decided I like flush buttons, like on the paps, launcher and king.
I got an Igo-F $9.70 IGO-F Style Rebuildable Atomizer - stainless steel / bottom fed at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping a couple of weeks ago and it's a neat little mod. Ekowool 1mm fits the well and you can vape without adding drops for a couple of hours. This is a nice compromise, where you can use a micro-coil in an RBA without having to drip every few toots.
Be advised it can be a pain if your wick ends are even slightly unraveled. Use some tape or glue and snip it off once you have the wick end threaded through the well holes. You could drill them out but the 1mm works fine.

When my Tree of Life set arrives in a couple of days, as my One-Year-Gift, I think I will be done getting more vaping stuff for my collection. 
It's been a good year for this little old lady!
After more than 40 years, I quit smoking and took up vaping one year ago exactly, with a $30 tiny clearo/generic ego battery. To write this I've just put my VTR/Taifun GS down beside the Turtleship/Russian and near a bunch of heavily-used MVP2s...
I started at 18 mg and am now at 4 mg.
In June of last year, I found FastTech, thank goodness. I honestly think that if I had not found a reliable source of inexpensive goodies, I might not have been able to stop smoking for this long nor try out some very innovative, fun equipment. Some of it has been grown out of and replaced by things that suit me better, and some things have shown themselves to be the stuff of permanence (or nearly )
I've been lucky enough to acquire a great collection of good quality stuff, all from FT, and now that I'm also DIYing (Inawera), I feel confident that I'm going to be able to go into maintenance mode for a good long while. The disposable income I've had for the last couple of months through not smoking and keeping myself to an FT budget (equal to about my weekly carton of cigarettes) has purchased a new camera and a new computer, as well as contributed to finishing the building of a library for kids in Togo. Quitting smoking is probably the best thing I've done in the last 20 or 25 years!
Even my cats are happy!
Warm wishes to everybody!

So I've found a new benefit to my patience. I'm trading a Taurus and Helios for an Aqua and KTS.
Two spare, under 10 buck RBAs for a mod and tank. I like it. Nobody willing to wait on ft stuff and want it now.

Stillare and taifun drop kit arrived today. 7 days from acceptance.
Don't think I'll like it nearly as much as my infinite magma but I'm will to give it the college go

How would you rate that magma clone/design vs a standard dripper in regards to leaking, seems like the overall design would make it less prone to airhole leakage, but bottom airflow on an RDA always freaks me out.
Anyone have experience in US mail back of defective parts?
I had to return an Omega Dripping atty to Florida for replacement - 5-13-14 and have heard nothing since.
I emailed FT a copy of the Postage, which they say will be credited to my account.
Just wondering how long I should wait before breaking out a Bamboo stick on them

Maggie I know how you feel. I have just placed 3 orders and feel I'm just about done. Unless something shows up that I just can't live without I am close to my last order. I have been extremely happy with the service I have gotten and as a retiree would not have near the amount of stock on hand without them. I hope you check in just to say hi.

I have sent stuff back and everything went as they said, they credited me with the shipping and the bad part once they received it and processed it. @ 10 days passed before I heard from them
Leaking comes from dripping too much on the coils as the air holes are located directly under them. I normally drip all around the posts. I prefer this RDA over everything. I bought a second one from infinite as the first one from a different manufacturer had loose posts.
This stillare needs a better o ring. The chamber flops around like a fish out of water. Didn't have this problem before. The o rings I have on hand are too fat :/
Yes, Klynnn, I know I'll keep looking at the new arrivals page, for sure! And at the non-vaping stuff, too.
A magnetizer arrived with my last order - a really useful gadget that allows you magnetize your screwdrivers in order to grab hold of tiny screws and not lose them before you pop them back into place. I used it last night to help me change the keyboard on a laptop
It's this one: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005760/1447000-magnetizer-and-demagnetizer-pick-up-toolYou're retired? I'm retiring on September 1st...really looking forward to it but I know my toys-and-extras budget will be a lot smaller.

I've made a couple of returns down there. Everything ends up good but it seems that once it hits that USPS center down in Florida that they are very slow on completing delivery. As soon as it is delivered, send a note to FT on your ticket advising them of the delivery and they will credit your postage then and quickly send out your replacement.
My budget is way smaller but I manage quite well. I had shinyistis for awhile now all I look at is how long will it last. Retirement is boring as hell. I used to control airplanes for a living, talk about moving to the lighter side. LOL
Thanks, I'll give it a few more days............but I refuse to hold my breath while waiting
Normally First Class here to FL is only 3 days but they probably maintain a 10 day response time to avoid unforeseen processing delays.
