I dont want to dampen anyones shopping spree but just a word of caution. The postal systems in China go into meltdown after Chinese New Year. It is also the time where staff turnover is rife. If you are going to shop.....be patient, it is most likely to be a long time processing and shipping.

The great savings are offset by the risks of lost items, late delivery and the help desk will take weeks to get back up to speed. Dont buy anything you need tomorrow.
I want to chime in here also, I have ordered this time of year from China, EXPECT 4 to 6 weeks for delivery, it IS NOT going to be the normal 2 weeks + for delivery. Last time I ordered on their new year it took 49 days for delivery. Just wanted to back up @Krisma on this. :)

Fiddling with the Cubis Pro Mini tank... tried the BF 1.5 MTL coil... meh... not impressed at all. Wondering if I should give it a little longer to "mature" or just toss the coil. I also have the LVC 1.5 Clapton MTL coils to try.

Krisma suggested that after filling (and don't fill it too full) to close (?) the airflow and just leave it alone - just when you think you want to try it, leave it some more. Give it time to REALLY saturate the wick. Should help with both spitting/gurgling and some flavor. I don't have the 1.5 coils - I'd ordered <1.0 for mine. They can be quite nice, but just take some time to "get ready".

    The stuff I will be ordering I will need sometime in the next decade or maybe the one after that. If it gets here by April I am good with that.

    while I was watching some paint dry.....

    I revisited an old favourite ...... the Byleo sophia v1. I have a gazillion 19mm tanks that look perfect on this little sbody and quite a few sophias. Although a tight airflow that was one of the benefits of the V1, I am used to a bit more airflow these days. So i drilled them out a bit bigger, set it up with my favourite little fasttech coils and wicked with rayon. It was always a lovely vape and the slightly bigger airflow holes just add to the flavour.

    Thanks, what about using one coil? Would lay straighter. Mines pretty sloppy with the 2 coils

    I would start with 1 coil till you get the hang of it, when doing dual coils, you need them to match well so they heat evenly, so bit more tricky when not use to it.

    Oh I'm so glad I can do single, yay!

    Thanks. I swapped the coil for the clapton and put it on the shelf to ripen... will try again tomorrow.

    I thought I was bad with a lazy dozen. :wub:

    I only have 2 of the v2's i didnt like them as much.
    I only had 8 of the V1, until a someone wanted to sell me 7 more for $80 because he needed some quick cash, I didn't need them, but could not pass that up. Never tried the V2, and have no want to, am happy with the V1. :D

    Edit: also got a couple of D-Base tanks in that deal. :)

    The v2's were too fiddly for me and I really like the ceramic (I have a big stash of them)
