I am tempted by the Achiles, but not sure if it has enough airflow to satisfy me. I think I like a more open draw than you do. I like a nice slow lung inhale.I think I'm the Apostle of Achilles or something.I labored under the misapprehension for a long time that an rda meant so much vapor and airflow it would choke me to death -- but it just ain't so, and Achilles proves it.

Is it about like an unmodified T3?
Hmmm... yeah, I guess it probably is -- I know I used the T3S when I first started, and knew nothing about airflow, just cigarettes, and I liked it -- and I took right to cartos, too. I had to learn to tolerate slightly more when I first got a kayfun, but the flavor and TH was so great compared to the T3S, I didn't mind. The Achilles' flavor is very much on a par with kayfuns, if not slightly *more* saturated, and the TH is like a mule kick in the throat -- that's why I had to go from 10mg to 9mg; I love TH, but too much triggers the asthma and makes me cough. And since I also dropped my wattage a little, from 10-10.5w to 8.5-9w, it's a GREAT deal more conservative on ejuice than a kayfun; much more like a carto in that regard, though the flavor is very intense.

That's where I got mine after Andria gave me the link. I had never heard of them before but the transaction went fine.
I remember it well.

It has been a pleasure having you back.
Never heard of that company, Andria. Have you purchased from them? Anyone else here dealt with them?

someone else on this board said yesterday that was where they got theirs with no trouble. It is in China I think but reports so far are favorable. And the price is nice.
It's the only place that has them and like Robert said a few people have picked them up from there. I can't go there, way too many toys I want.
Yep, Frog in Fog is where I got mine; it says China but they're actually in Hong Kong -- I used the "domestic expedited shipping" option, for about $6-ish, and got it in 2 wks -- and that was when the longshoremen on the west coast were on strike, so I was pretty happy with that. Nice thing is that F in F takes paypal for payment, unlike US vendors. Apparently paypal doesn't have a problem with vape stuff if the vendor is outside the US.

Hong Kong is now China again. The British lease ran out.
For some unknown reason, when I order things from HK, the shipping time is never very long; usually about 2 wks. If I order from China outright, then god only knows how long it will take -- 6 wks + 1 day? That was my sole experience with FT, and I'll never order from them again unless the item simply cannot be found anywhere else. It wasn't FT's fault -- they shipped the next day -- it was all those other imbeciles between here and there.

I think HK still has a lot of the Brit infrastructure and procedures in place. Mainland China itself is a bureaucratic mess.
So, probably the shipping from HK is at the normal speed, which isn't terrible; but shippers dealing with mainland China just take their sweet sweet time, knowing that we'll just blame it on China's bureaucratic mess.

My last shipment from FC came through HK Post and only took 10 days, I was quite surprised. Singapore and NL post are an easy 4 weeks.
FT shows it shipped, but that just means it's been put in a container. The container then waits to be filled before it is shipped. Then the container goes through Customs, blah, blah. Domestic mail is a bit different I guess, cause it's always faster.
