It's actually around as cheap as in the norwegian site, except for the coils. Coils much cheaper there. Are the coils from there any good? Won't matter if coils arrive late as I have a lot by forehand. And is the "style" coils even worth a try?
Authentic/non authentic?
They are indeed cheap. More than a quarter the price I'm used to. Think I'm gonna go for them
I've fallen behind the thread but wanted to reply to this. Thanks Andria. I still have no info on the Achilles II except what it says on the site and facebook (shorter, adjustable air, some design change that prevents the wicks from coming out of the wells!).
There must be a small plant in China called "Shenzhen Generic" lol I think some "Clones" are indeed Authentic..
I used to buy some "authentic" stuff there and yes, they seemed to be very authentic. Mostly atomizers and atomizer heads, but also a couple of Innokin itaste VV 3.0 batteries - they really all seem to be authentic. And one of my favourite slim clearos is this one, not "authentic" something, but very good (works with Kanger BCC):
Okay, ordered coils and that tank you mentioned (reserve tank) from fast tech.
Fixed it up some!I hope this don't fail on me

{{{hugz}}} because sometimes you just need one.Preachin' to the choir, my friend! I don't want to go back to cigarettes. I want something simple. Things that actually work. Quality control. I don't see why people "have" to learn to re-build coils. I'm not really that hooked on nicotine, since I'm a Tootle Puffer using mostly 6 to 7 watts and 1.5 to 2.1 ohm, and my DIY juice is only about 2.5mg. Almost not there. My deal is the hand to mouth habit. That is what my Achilles Heel has been all my life. When I was a baby/toddler I sucked my fingers. When I was a kid I was always wanting snacks...I'd get a bag of M&Ms and eat them slowly, one by one, chipping the shell off first with my teeth before eating the chocolate to make them last as long as possible. I also ate a lot of popcorn...one kernel (biting off pieces, believe it or not) at a time to make it last. It's the hand to mouth thing for me. In a way, starting smoking in college was a "godsend" for someone like me trying to keep my slim figure. Though I hate having to say that. Cigarettes kept me from snacking. After 43 years of that bad habit I quit and went with vaping...and it works! I stepped down off the nicotine over about a year until I am where I am now and have been for a few years. I feel I could give up the nicotine. That would be painless. But I enjoy the flavor of my menthol juice, and vaping satisfies my urge for the hand to mouth thing. I simply resent having it be such a production . I just want things to work. If I buy a pack of coils..they ought to work. If one is bad, I'll let that slide. But NOT a whole box! Or 3 or 4 out of 5! I spent hours/days/weeks perfecting my DIY juice a few years ago. That was trial enough, but it saves me money and I far prefer my juice to any commercial menthol I've tried since. Now I have go through the whole thing again learning to rebuild coils because of lousy quality control over overpriced things I've paid for. I'm in poor health, and on a limited fixed income. My husband is gravely ill. I don't need this aggravation!
Okay. Sorry. Getting off my soapbox now. But it feels good to get it off my chest anyway!
Headed out the door right now, but be watching for a message in you inbox!{{{hugz}}} because sometimes you just need one.
I love all things menthol and mint and DIY most of my eliquids. I wanted consistency and was always afraid that the eliquid I liked would be out of stock. Can I ask for your menthol recipe.
I wouldn't mind it as-well for when I get all my supplies ordered.
But it can wait!
