Maggie post a link to the one you got. I started with the cheaper one so will see how it goes. Never had a smartphone or tablet. This ought to be a trip. Mine has made it through HK and on the way. I am busy ordering digital calipers and multimeters.

CALIPERS o_O When you get them in, please measure the knurled nuts on the RBAs <3 I am so tired of losing them [or the screws] and I have found them NOWHERE, unless it's to buy 2 in a package with other replacement stuff. I have retired more toppers because the nuts and screws are lost in my carpet and my blind self cannot find them :'(

This is what I decided on:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1381304 FNF ifive X2 8.9" IPS Screen 1.8GHz Quad-Core Android 4.1.1 Jellybean Tablet PC (16GB)

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1332003 U2-181 Micro USB Male to USB-A Female Converter Adapter up angled
This is to connect the keyboard to the tablet. Works perfectly.

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1053713 Universal Protective PU+ABS Leather Case for 10" Tablets w/USB Keyboard
I loved the idea of a built-in keyboard - it's dead useful.

I have an ipod touch that has been a great companion for years, but the screen is cracked in several places now and is going to fall apart one of these days, so the tablet was supposed to replace it. I had no idea there were so many free fun apps available! I can see why the kids go nuts with the games, but I think it's going to be really useful to use as a reader and for films. I do need a screen protector, though, because it is a fingerprint magnet.

Howdy folks,

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on a couple of items that I received from fasttech yesterday. The Igo L worked like a champ outta the box. My personal preference was the airhole was a bit tight but after using a 3/64 drill bit and enlarging the hole just a tad it was perfect. The hole was just a bit to tight to get the 3/64 drill bit in outta the box. The chiyou clone for $27 was pretty and threads on the connection were real smooth but the 510 connection is crap. I couldnt get most of my attys to screw on, the hole was so wide at the top the Igo L simply fell into the 510 connection without catching any threads. I was able to screw on a LR 510 atty from empire mods and a boge xl cartotank on but it looks like those two devices have longer then usualy 510 connectors. I went to a local vape shop at lunch today and got a 510 to 510 adapter to see if that will fix my problem but i wont know till i get home.

I can vouch for the $17.53 Universal Protective PU+ABS Leather Case for 10" Tablets - w/USB Keyboard & Stylus at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping, I'g got it for 2 of my tablets/eReaders. Best thing EVER invented =]

But I think that mine had straps on the corners... I'll check tonight.

That is how my nemesis cap was. My boge cartos just fell in.

there is a telescoping want with a magnet on the end you can get in most sewing depts. It is for picking up dropped pins but I find it real hands for hunting for dropped tiny RDA parts ;)

Uhhhh, how to explain this.... Okay, let me try... *phew* I have a 6' table/desk covered with CPU, monitors, drawers full of things... then under the table are more containers full of things =] And then there is a bed shoved up against that... this is a spare/work room and getting to the carpet and the lost nuts is impossible XD

Have any of you seen anything on FastTech about the newer Aspire BCC tanks or knock-offs of them?
I can't find anything, but knowing FastTech, they won't have any reference to the brand name Aspire.
If anyone can find them, please let me know... I want to compare pricing.
And for the record, I think this might just be the PERFECT plug-n-vape tank. These may be the best performing and most trouble-free tanks I've ever tried. These things are putting out astounding flavor and clouds of vapor. I'm chain-vaping 60/40 in them and I cannot get them to go dry. They came in the mail this morning and I've been really excited about them and vaping on one all day.
Not everyone has them yet, I got mine from Venerablevaping (Aspire BDC). And by the way, this store has some really good pricing on other stuff and in the US.
Anyway, is there a comparable FastTech item that anyone knows about?

I'm really surprised I haven't heard more buzz about this tank. They work SO well...
I bought one that looks like a Vivi tank, and I got another that looks almost exactly like a Protank mini, but it has Ego cone threading. They have them in various designs that all use the same heads. The way I understand, the Vivi looking model is actually interchangeable with Vivi tanks as well. The ones I got are all 1.8ohm coils and the really like working around 3.8v - 4.2v. I'm totally sold on these so far. I don't know if I'll ever use the protanks or iclear's ever again.

actually the buzz about the BCC started even before the device became available for sale because of a short pbusardo review. small buzz perhaps but there is definitely a buzz about it.

They are really nice. Only problem I have with them is not being able to replace the coil with my own Kanthal coils. Too small and complicated for me. Thirteen bucks for 5 replacements is a bit much especially with not being able to re-coil. Other than that I think they're great. Better flavor and vape clouds than any other clearo I've tried. The first one I got from Nhaler and they had plastic tanks and no replacement coils. The latest have glass tanks and 2 replacement coils. Guess I should have waited.

Also, I picked up the new SmokTech ARO. Not happening for me. Gurgles no matter what I do and no flavor. But I was pleasantly surprised by the RBC Clearo from Madvapes. Looks so simple, very low rent. Clouds of vapor and really great taste with no gurgling even at the last few drops.

Packages leaving for another country are required to have a Customs Deceleration on the package.

That is correct. But I have gotten 6 orders and "ALL OF THEM" have just said "Electronic Parts". I have not ordered any juice, and yes e-cig parts could be considered "Electronic Parts", but that is not a real depiction of the contents of a package. IMHO. I am sure that the order leaving HK right now that is mostly bottles, with a few coils and parts, will be listed as "Electronic Parts". That could be part of the problem, not listing what is really in the package.
