Finally, someone got the hint, all we need is the refill tops (with the plastic insert too) http://www.3fvape.com/misc/23108-au...=squonk+refill+bottle&results=68#.Wvy-Q4gvxEY
This deserves a round of applause.

I just switched coffee brands recently.:zombie::zombie::zombie:
:snapoutofit: You know better than screwing with your :coffee2: blend/s. Find the right boot to siphon it through and keep that boot, don't waste good.

I'm one to talk though. Recently, I was trying out these Breakfast Blends in the k-cups. You could see through the coffee they brewed. My FIL uses a French Blend, black and opaque as tar. Got to drinking it myself and found out the breakfast blends are for running off visitors. "Here, have cupa, ...":devil: Not that I'm frequented by visitors enough to have any concern of it.

Usually I drink Abbey Roast Black & White for my first cup.Then I switch to Cafe Du Monde for the rest of the day.
Click those links in red above to order either.

Unbelievable...some outfits don't even have the authentic in stock yet.

Makes me think the same company makes the authentic and clone.

A lot of vaping gear in one form or another comes from Shenzhen IVPS Technology Co., Ltd in Shenzhen China. SmokTech, Kanger, Innokin all three are located in that area. I've mentioned before about how in Japan there are conglomerates of smaller companies built into one large family of companies, keretzu if I'm making it Anguish properly, is what they're called. Think along the lines of our monopoly companies, and the mafioso wrapped up and packaged to win.

Not sure if the Chinese do likewise but I would figure likely they do with a bit of advising from former Socialist Republic of Russia dons made dons by the Russian mafia, after all China is only trying out semi-capitalism while still maintaining a hard line Socialist government centralized power structure. Of course, it is likely I may be wrong in perception of what China is at present. Often, clowns are thought funny but what of those luring children away?

Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline;
simulated fear postulates courage;
simulated weakness postulates strength.
--Lao Tzu

In short, you might be correct thinking the ones making authentic also make clones. It's like Kroger's suddenly carrying a dish detergent which feels exactly like Dawn. I bet Kroger's is getting a great deal on some set off packing mistakes, in order that Dawn can still compete in the market, albeit by saturation and covertness. And yes, I have washed enough dishes to distinguish between the feel of one detergent or the next, bet most housewives have as well.

Not unlikely, when you've got the gear being mfg in china, that they'll just make extras and sell those as "style" for cheap.
Then again, in some cases, there could be cheaper materials too. Even if it's o-rings, screws, insulator...why bother/risk getting a clone of a $25 rda???

I have some of that, going to give it a try. :cheers:

I was thinking of replacing the pulse because of its lack of oomph so thought I'd try something first. I had a tiny bit of silver left so made a new connection. A couple of bits of old modmaker contacts and now it's a solid connection and seems to be working better for me :)

So my saga with FastTech continues. They are offering to replace the Luxotic, but I have to ship the leaky one back. FastTech will only reimburse 40-50% of the cost of shipping. I don't think I can ship it back to China for $16 or less. Any bonkers have any other strategy on dealing with FastTech on this? I've never had to make any sort of warranty claim with FastTech. It seems as though they are doing everything they can to make it as difficult as possible.

I accidentally made my coil legs down for the hadaly tonight. I used a small Allen wrench through the airholes and got.the coil down where it touched the wrench. I am really enjoying it this way! I usually had the coil up much higher

When I first tried out the Hadlay I hated it with a 26/30 316L clapton in it. Went into vape storage for a couple months. Built it again a few weeks ago, this time with single strand 26g 316L SS amd pushed the coil down low. It has been sitting on my Pico Squeeze ever since.

Their return center is in Miami...or something like that in Florida...when I had to return an item to them, they asked for the cheapest return shipping... So I quoted them Signed, Insured 3 day delivery for $62...they said I could keep the item and the new one was shipping out lol...cheeky bastards know if its not signed for they can just say they never received it.

EDIT: regular signed snail mail to Florida (Their return center for the US ) is like $5

Their return address...

This is exactly the ammo I'm looking for. From Canada, no way I'm shipping it without tracking. Like you say, they will just say it never showed up. Cheapest option looks to be about $20. I'll quote them the overnight air price. :giggle:

Ecigarettes.ca has a real stabwood wrap for 40 Can. But he hates shipping to the US - costs too much. I just did mine up.

I have had a similar issue with fasttech over a faulty Aleader mod. I gave up. Was not worth shipping back in the end. I just replaced the chip in Canada with a DNA60 which was much better anyway.

I would just file a claim through Paypal and get your money back. Let them deal with fasttech. You shouldn’t have to pay to return a defective product.

How is this deal

It is a good deal. The biggest issue people have with the mod is that they claim there is severe voltage drop. However, the cause is the safety switch inside. If you take a pair of pliers and bend the contacts in so it fits super snugly, there is almost no voltage drop at all. If you are handy and don't care about the safety switch, a single drop of solder to close the switch permanently makes it into the same thing as any other mech mod. I own and like my Pulse, but I also fixed the switch. The only other gripe one could have would be that it isn't easy to fully clean the contacts.

I was there today. He has blue. Message him on FB - Albert Lee.
Hmm. I'm not on FB. It's cool. And if he doesn't like to ship to the US. It'll be fine

I was looking at those panels yesterday,and added 1 to a cart to see what the total would be,it showed $30 for US shipping,so that panel would cost more than the mod.I decided to try and make my own haha.

SXK Le Concorde arrived, along with another Pico Skweeze (an all black one this time! :giggle:) Machining is spot on. Took it to bits, washed and boiled, though it was very clean out of the box. Super easy to build, 6 wraps 26g 316L 2.5mm. Nice vape, very flavourful and saturated. Gets a little warm chain vaping at 25w on a VT Inbox. Airflow sits pretty low, so a light touch is required when squonking otherwise it's easy to make it leak.
