I can think of one single bad thing about the Trident: It's hit's so well that I can't use my normal 18mg liquid or I get sick. I normally chain-vape 18mg on clearo's or Protanks, but if I drip the same juice into a Trident, I'm bordering on nicotine OD after about 4 hits. It's a monster and the flavor coming out of it is very awesome.
Mine now lives atop my Nemesis clone.

Awsome:)

going to get trident have Igo=l's

are any of the other RDA's from FT as good or better?

I can't say if there is one better or not... I've tried a lot of them but certainly not all. I've gotten 5 different RDA's from FT and the Trident is the winner by a mile. The rest are all cheap construction, have problems with posts, bad fit... and most are chrome plated brass which is something that freaks everybody out. I'm not sure it's a valid safety concern or not to be honest, but a lot of people wig out about it. I know the chrome plating used is not poisonous itself in any way so I can't figure out what all the fuss is.... maybe someone with actual knowledge (meaning, not repeating stuff they read somewhere on ECF) can weigh in on that subject.
If you want to venture outside of drippers, check out their Ithaka clone, it also is completely AWESOME. If course, it's a huge pain in the behind due having to build dual material coils with non-resistant wire twisted together with kanthal. The only way it could get better is if they ever get the Penelope clone.

Also as a completely unrelated side note: I see the Innokin VTR is now for sale at VaporKings. 100 bucks though. I'm pretty disappointed. I expected it to be a lot less than that seeing it doesn't even have built-in battery like the MVP. I was expecting it to hit the market around 75 or 80 bucks. Personally, I'm not paying 100 bucks for that thing... cool as it may be. Anyone interested can look at the deal on Vapor Joes site.
And just so you know, 100 bucks is about 30 bucks UNDER Innokin's MSRP price so if you are bent on getting one, this might be a killer intro deal, it's just not for me.

And NOW I see the VTR is sold out. Sorry, I didn't notice that before.

WooHoo another order "Processed Through Sort Facility". Ordered 26th, shipped 30th, now on a plane 6th. WooHoo :)
But my order from the 7th, shipped 10th, still lost in the "Black Hole" of HK Post. :(

Vape On
:vapor:

The 10th keeps popping up for people with long held packages. I had one accepted on the 10th that took about 21 days to kick out of the system. My scenario is that they pulled a bunch aside to be scanned on the 10th, finally started through them about 21 days latter when mine and a few others from that day got some movement. They finished the scanning for the day and then that bin got pushed to the back where it now sits.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
 
Well, the USPS website says this:
September 25, 2013 , 10:48 am Acceptance HONG KONG

But when I go here, Hongkong Post - Mail Tracking and punch in my tracking number, I get this:
Destination - United States of America
The item (LKXXXXXXXXXHK) was returned to sender on 5-Oct-2013.


Any idea as to what this could mean?

Mine is saying the same except it was returned on the 4th.

red cow flavor / medium <- has to steep, tastes tobacco-y to me
marlboro flavor / medium <- has to steep, but taste like a basic tobacco now, dry
orange flavor / nicotine 16mg/ml <- not too bad, I could use it with more orange, so perhaps a steep is needed
melon flavor / nicotine 16mg/ml <- OMG! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!
lavender flavor / nicotine 16mg/ml <- ACK! PERFUME! I got this to see if it was any good and to stealth vape it at work to avoid being caught vaping tobacco scented juice :p
pineapple flavor / nicotine 16mg/ml <- OMG! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!
cocktail flavor / nicotine 16mg/ml <- this is weird... has an actual booze flavor... I must be tired :p
Turkish tobacco flavor / medium nicotine <- wasn't in the shipment :/ Have to report this.
Thanks for the report! I was curious about that melon/pineapple. I was thinking "if the peach is THIS good....". I will have to test drive those. Curious about that cocktail flavor now (I'm part cat too:)). It might "slip"in the cart next round.

I took the Turkish and the peach out last night for the "real world test". When I'm "working" (playing guitar is SUCH a hard job :p) I like to have something that works for me. I also took my normal ADV, but turns out these two made for a nice evening. Definitely in my ADV line up now. I know some flavors need steep time to come to full potential, so I try to refrain :)

Yeah, just my luck there. The one flavor you REALLY want....and it gets left out:?:. Oh well, I'm sure it will work out

We're facing the effects of a "perfect storm": a week long national holiday, customs unusual scrutiny, terrible weather and massive customer demand. We're lucky there is not a labor strike on top of this all! And to think I resolved to quit smoking and start vaping in the middle of this disaster... I can't even look for a local, more expensive, alternative, because there is none! :(

From what I understand from the mod Jasmine's sticky on the FT site, FT took the initiative to recall some packages from the HK postal authority, and then resent them. If your packages have been returned according to your tracking, this MAY be what has happened. Obviously I'm not sure, but that's what I understand from:

https://www.fasttech.com/forums/stickies/t/1055289/new-update-for-packages-that-stuck-at-hong-kong

Hope this helps someone.

Now, if I can figure out how to use the Eternity clone....:facepalm:

Thanks Maggie!

I bet that is exactly what happened to mine.
