Unfortunately if it got sent to HKP BEFORE they started directing around, the pakcage will be xrayed and kicked back (this can take up to 15 days), then re-shipped around HKP

You will more than likely have to wait 30 days and if no movement is seen then open a ticket so don't panic just know your order probably got dropped in that big black hole of HKP...give it some time...sux big time

Kanger Unitank - $10.57 Authentic Kanger Unitank Mini Bottom Coil Clearomizer (1.3mL) - 1.8 + 2.2 + 2.5ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I've heard it isn't good.

An apparent knockoff of the ARO $3.32 RGM2 Bottom Coil Clearomizer (2.0mL) - glass tank / 2.2ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
If they get different colors (currently only pink and green) I will add this to my next order (assuming I do order with all the shipping issues).
Yeah...when they put the threading on the plastic...expect it to leak horribly!

I have one of these, and it actually is doing VERY good...quite impressed with it!

I received my trident clone last night. reminds me of the Stanley Cup a lot in hockey.

A couple things about the device. The connection at the bottom, the threads are pretty horrible. Bad machining is the only way I can explain it, really. The device had a broken O-ring, which is whatever I suppose.

3 main problems with this device

1. The device when fully assembled, the middle shaft piece is too long. The unit can not be placed together flushed as it was intended and line up properly with the air holes. You either have to flip the shaft upside down so the top isn't flush, or vice versa. Measure twice cut once darnit

2. The pins that you run your coil through aren't made like the real thing. Working your leads through the posts is very difficult as they are at weird angles and under the lip of the dish/cup that you drip into. Very frustrating.

3. There's only one air hole. If you want to dual coil, you really want two air holes. Theres one air hole and the air control only has one set as well. i don't have a drill press so i'll try to find someone that does.

Fix : Basically, you'd want to chop a whole section off of the top cap cap. This would alleviate the problem of the middle shaft being too long.

You're also going to want to drill another set of air holes for the control and an air hole on the other side for the second coil. You'd want to keep the option of turning one hole off if you only want to run a single coil from it.

It was cheap, so I can only complain so much I suppose

Sorry

it was the SS version. I did see some of the "gold" versions on ebay at least had the 2 sets.

I think that part is fixable. the part that isn't is the posts and the lead holes are so far below the edge of the "cup" that wiring it is such a pain. I'm truly glad i have the patience for it. I can definitely envision someone raging over it

I can tell you from recent personal experience that drilling holes in SS is a MASSIVE PITA. I just burnt out 2 drill bits trying to drill out my Helio clone yesterday. At one point the thing got so hot that the drill bit snapped off and actually welded itself into the hole I was trying to bore out. Crazy.

Was trying to order a 4-pack of eneloops for $15 or so, but they wanted $23 in shipping. So, it's apparently not just li-ion batteries that are affected.

Have one package with some random stuff, non-vaping related coming. Last update is "Despatched to overseas: Country code (NL)". Curious to see if it shows up, as my country code is NO. Through Singapore Post.

Got another package with some battery wrappings, dispatched 24. October. Still not trackable. That's HK Post.

Not sure what's going on. Not stressed about it tho.

Wow, I didn't even realize they sold Eneloop. I am low on AAA rechargeable s but yea, that shipping kinda kills the deal. bummer too because I use Eneloop by the dozens, they are awesome batteries.
