I don't have tanks that use Smok RBAs nor have Crowns(anymore). But thanks!
Only these ones are lagging in my pending FT orders…
9693388 (5 business days, no ETA)
9546700 (6 days, ETA 3/15)
Cancelled the Melo3 Mini glass on my FT order just now.
Everything else is “Ready” or “ETA 1 or 2 days” (tomorrow or the next day).
And all my orders from 3f have already shipped (except 1 Ruok Nord RBA).

I still have 8 of the original crown tanks but haven’t used them in a long time. I did grab 20 of the rba kits when someone had them on clearance last year.
Just a word of caution on the "ETAs"at Fasttech. they jump around. Today might be 2 days, tomorrow will be 10 days, next day will be 1 day, etc. Could say 4 days then the next day it's "ready to ship". ETAs are worthless at FT.
What I can tell you is if one of the ETAs drops off and all you see is "restocking" and it's like that for 2 or more days, contact support and ask if they are discontinued. They will sometimes let an item stay in "restocking" without ETA for a long time before they contact you and tell you it's discontinued. You gotta stay up on them.
One place that nobody thinks to look that often has replacement glass and o-rings is Wish. The prices are reasonable, usually can get a 5 pack for 15 dollars or less with shipping. The shipping times are terrible, but not much worse than FT
ETA: 15 dollars was for 5 pack of glass and o-rings for Smok TFV12
What timing.
I put a new coil in my trusted 5 or 6 year old Nautilus Mini, and the coil/base wouldn't get tight into the threaded chimney!
Yikes!
I got it snug, and vaped it for 2 weeks. Put in a new coil today, and it tightened. So, it was just poor threads on the coil.
But I'm thinking the chimney threads are also getting weak. I notice another tank is developing thread problems.
So besides stocking up on nic and coils, I better get a few more tanks. Metal threads get weakened after 5 or 6 years of daily use.
And maybe a new mod or 2. The main trigger contacts will get dirty, and in a few years, start to give problems. I already have a evic VT that gives ghost hits (hitting the trigger button, but nothing happens...)
That stimulus check of $1,200 will get here with no time to spare.

That doesn't surprise me because I'm pretty sure Nauti chimney is chromed brass. Only the base of the nauti is SS and maybe the drip tip.
That why mech mods are the best bet.
(none of these newer "semi-mech"... which aren't really mech besides maybe a robust case)
Pretty much 100% of all my past electronic mods developed problems eventually - usb port not connecting, fire button, 510, freezes, doa, draw hit, etc., etc. (and I baby and take care of my stuff too)
From Eleaf mods, to JoyTech, to VaporFlask, to Smok pod systems, etc., etc.

"...to wrap jewelry wire & other wire into perfect coiled sections." Good disguise.
I made jewelry for a while lotta years, jewelry makers came out with coil wrapping tools long before vapers did. I used mine to make coils for RDAs in 2012-2013... long before it was a thing

Some vapers have used those before there were coiling jigs made specifically for vapers.
That's because Sourcemore has 2 different retail customer tiers. When you first sign-up you are "general" tier. For most items (but not all) you see a higher price than existing customers do.
To see the lower prices, you have to make a purchase from them, then after it's delivered they bump your account up to "Bronze" tier. That's when you see the lower prices.
Anyone know where to get the best deals on Nords (Original....not the Nord2, RPM, etc.) ...and also those Nord Cartridge 3pcks?
(in stock of course)
I'm done with my orders of RTAs/KF2021s, RBA coils, Tank-Glass/PC replacements, etc.. But, now I wanna get a couple extra Nords, as I really love those little things and their simplicity/compactness.
Any help appreciated!

I remember reading that some think it'll be hard to find excuses/disguises for customs, specifially for atomizers, etc.
So lets throw out some ideas for attys and other stuff (for the Chinese or Domestic distributers/sellers/manufacturers, if they're reading this)...
Glass tank replacements - TIG welding cups (just remembered about them today!), LED bulb covers (landscape lighting, house/shop lighting, etc.), car-fuse/relay enclosures or covers.
PC tank replacements - LED bulb covers (landscape lighting, house/shop lighting, etc.), car-fuse/relay enclosures or covers.
Coils - car-fuse/relay holders (the look/work very similarly), soldering iron.
Mods - power banks, voltage testers, flashlights, thermometers for cooking or other uses, soldering iron.
