My Kanger protank came in. It's pretty damn good. It produces SOOO much vapor. However, I think I'll keep it at home because it's so huge and heavy. I still like the ego/vivi nova combo.

I think I might get a few smaller bottom coil atomizers... any suggestions?

Try the EVOD or the MT3S. Be sure and get 2.0 or higher ohm coils, especially if you're going to drive the tank using a battery with a higher voltage output. The coils for the EVOD and MT3S are interchangeable and cheap. Note the difference in the MT3 models. The MT3S is an upgrade of the MT3 that allows coil compatibility and reduces the flooding/leaking problem with the older MT3.

Everything turns up eventually, but there are "dead periods" between transfers where the status is unavailable. This is the usual process:

1) Things are sent to Hong Kong/Singapore
2) Before items arrive, a shipping placement is ordered at HK/Singapore. This is where you get your tracking #, but it won't work yet.
3) Items arrive, and the shipping date is set. Nothing goes out yet, but now your tracking# works.
4) Items reach HK/Singpore post. It stays there until the shipping day for your country.
5) Items in transit to you country. Status will simply be "international bound" until it checks in at the port of entry.
6) Items reach your country. From here, you should track the numbers through your countrys postal service. Your experience here will vary according to your country's protocols.

I thought my order was lost after it "Departed San Francisco Sorting Facility" I'd check it every day and the status wouldn't change. A few days went by and nothing. I was so used to watching orders hit different facilities on it's way here (Minnesota) I thought it was lost. I just happened to check the mail and it magically was there! Patience is truly a virtue. :) Total transit time was about 5 days.

The liquids were all shipped with the upgraded registered airmail. One order was $23 and some change, the other a little under $15 so I paid the extra to upgrade. The latest order tracking info is now showing on the SingPost website. I'm just impatient I guess, especially as my first order, placed on the same day, arrived 2 weeks ago. I'll have to be patient a little longer :) There's nothing I can't do without just yet.

I would raise a ticket, it's been in transit nearly a month, ask them to investigate.

In most cases the difference between your "American commerce" and our ft orders is nothing but the price since the vast majority is made in china. I think Provari is American.. Anything else American made? All we do is cut out the middle man, who based on what I see in way to many shops, buys from FT and then does a standard 100% markup for retail.

Try the Vapeonly BCC. it's light, and the bottom coil version of the Vivi!

can you tell me hows the twist performing

I got one in my vapemmail today! And so far I am just loving it. I admit that I'm still just sort of twisting randomly and the only thing I am sure about is all the way to the right is highest and all the way to the left is lowest. Timing is good because my joye vv stopped functioning properly day before yesterday. It feels very light in my hand for some reason but construction seems good. Button is not wiggly nor does the twist part seem loose. I'm going to paint on a dot to tell me setting and once I figure out how to use my brand new multi meter (part of my vapemail) I'll check to see what it really is putting out.

I also got one of these really cheap little pass through and a proper plug in so I don't need to risk a mother board. It is also working wonderfully. I'll need an USB extension because the cord is rather short for moving around at my desk much. It is about a yard long and that is not as much maneuvering room as I like. It will be a perfect length for car use though. I'm going to have to sort up some sort of holder for it I think because just laying it down on the desk strikes me as a bad long term plan.

Overall I am just in heaven today!
