After being disappointed with the TFV4 with the single RBA base, and everyone raving about the crown in here, decided to jump on the train, actually getting it from ebay, as the tank and RBA head as a package was $40 shipped, know I could of got the tank from ecig for $22, but then would of have to order somewhere else for the RBA, and that would of been at least $15, so decided to go with the ebay route this time :)

whatcha doing with your tfv4

Been rockin the .5 coil @45w this evening. It took a while for the coil to come around, but starting to get some pretty decent flavor from my diy bilberry coconut. Getting dense GIANT cloudage. The flavor is not quite as good as with my drippers, but never expected it to be. Great for a tank though.

Is that the Crown?

Dammit, you guys are killing me. I've been content with my OBS tanks, and now I guess I'm gonna have to try a Crown now. Bunch of enablers you all are! :D

I loved my OBS @Markw4mms as you know. However once I tried the Crown... OMFG is it unbelievable in flavor, vapor and quality of materials and machining

I had my mind set on the crown until I came to this thread, saw people talking about the OBS, saw it had the cool ass ALIEN head and thought, That's the one for me. Then the practical side of me kicked in. So glad I stuck with my original plan, I rarely do.
This crown is like sparkling jewelry. The machining is unmatched. The top fill is perfect. Threading, perfect.
I shall name her "Guinevere".

I still love my OBS tanks! I will eventually get a Crown, but right now I have several other things higher on the priority list (DIY start up supplies, and a new phone).

FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
post office did not bring the crown today AGAIN its at the post office 3 hours away now at least. Maybe tomorrow

If ecig.com had just bothered to actually ship it the day I ordered it, I would have it by now. But nooooooooooooooooooooooo
They cant take an order placed at 645 am on a friday and get it shipped the same day. They leave it wait until Monday to give it to the post office.

That is my biggest gripe with them. Shipping is absolutely miserable, or at least the "free shipping" option anyway. Customer service is top notch though, they want to ensure every opportunity to take your $$. Just be thankful that the Monday was not a holiday, it would have been even further delayed!

well i just sent them a message that they do not do what they say
it says order before 11a CST and it ships the same day. I call BULLSHIT. I ordered around 7am EST on Friday . They printed a label that day at 430PM EST, but didnt give it to the post office on Friday or even Saturday. It was not accepted at a post office until MONDAY. Ive shipped USPS thousands of times, I know how their tracking updates work. So i did get a great deal, but not sure if I trust them to do anything they say.

Very strange. I ordered a pack of crown coils around 1 pm Wednesday, it shipped that day and is in my mailbox now. I went for the priority shipping so that is all I can think of is the difference between priority shipping and free shipping... Damn dude, I wanted you to experience that vape today

well now im more pissed. and there was NO FREE SHIPPING. What is this free shipping you speak of. I spent $2 something for first class. I ship 1st class I know the difference between 1st class and priority shipping times.
TX to MD priority takes 2 days
1st class takes 3 which is exactly when it was suppose to be here because they did not ship same day as promised on their site, they waited and shipped it 3 days later. Had it been shipped same day. I would have had it MONDAY maybe TUESDAY. Bunch of liars over there

My bad, I had read free shipping in an earlier post and thought you had gotten free shipping. My mistake. I always use priority even if its in my own state only because I find the tracking updates quicker and USPS seems to ensure the packages move a bit quicker with less time sitting.

You might want to consider calling them to express your dissatisfaction. While they won't be able to do anything about this order, they *might* be willing to do something for you on a future order. Just a thought, HTH!

this is USUALLY True. But think about this. You mail a check to the electric company on Friday morning. its cashed Monday or Tuesday. 1st class mail is wonderful most days. And to be honest its not the USPS that Im having a problem with. My shit got delayed 2 days, which would not have happened with priority mail, but thats the chance I took saving $4 nd taking 1st class mail. It would still have been here by now if @ecigdotcom did what they actually post on their website and shipped the same day and not wait 9 hours to print the damn label.

I hear ya man. I am not sure if it is an isolated case or not. I have ordered from them 3x now and each time, the package ships the day the order was placed. Sorry your having a bad experience with this order.

So were you involved in the "warehouse move"? They took care of me. Told me it might be delayed but it still went out that day. Great CS for me. I never trust USPS tracking. It's not very reliable. I get stuff on time though. If it's out for delivery, then it's out for delivery. Woooosawhhhh

Hammered or not, they have a clearly listed shipping policy. If they can't meet the expectations of the policy, then they should at a minimum notify the customer that they cannot meet their obligations.

and hank

here is the direct quote form @ecigdotcom form another thread when I pointed out they did not ship my order the same day earlier this week. this was the response

Interesting about UPS, we have been very busy and while we've been trying to get every product out that is ordered by 11am central we have been having a few days that we've missed that mark. That's something we're working on, we've been ramping up our warehouse staff. As far as the product not going out till Monday, UPS will pick up on Saturday but they will not ship out till Monday. USPS will not even receive until Monday. So if its not at the post office on that Friday, the package will not go out until Monday.

now sorry to say, I have dropped stuff at the post office on Saturday and had it delivered MONDAY. So I know USPS receives on Saturdays. I know they move mail and packages on saturday and sunday. Ive seen plenty of mail trucks on the highways on saturdays and sundays. Ive had Amazon received an order on saturday night, pack it hand it to UPS who then hands it off to USPS and has it delivered Monday MORNING. SO I dont believe anything in this post.

But it does happen like that. Just because it has worked out better before, doesn't mean it always will. USPS goes by business day for there estimated times. Because that is what is possible. Generally, I know if I order on Friday, I'm going to add a day or two of waiting. It still shows up on time or early depending on where the weekend is and how many business days. I think you are getting too worked up. I hate waiting on packages... But calling them liars... And then bitching about same day shipping when they have cut all their prices to cost and everyone who vape has been hitting them up for anything they have.... First world problems brother.

I ordered at night on Thursday. Got an email on Friday that it might not go out till Monday. Gave me 25% off coupon code for my next purchase. It went out Friday afternoon anyway. USPS said it would be delivered Wednesday... It came Tuesday. For a tank at 50% of anyone else... Including China. Shit, the only way that could have been better is perhaps including a happy ending.

Deep breaths Bud, deep breaths.

big difference between what happened to you and me

You got notified they messed up. I didnt.
But all is good
they contacted me problem solved.


And my experience with USPS is not just a handful of packages. Its thousands upon thousands over 10 years or so. The post office i s lot faster,cheaper and more reliable then many give them credit for. I honestly believe if the post master general chose to do so, they could run UPS and FedEx out of business. Its some local post offices and hubs giving USPS their bad rep.

I understand your annoyed. Your experience with ecig.com doesn't seem to be the norm though. They have done great by me and many others. All in all not sure a slight delay in shipping (with weekend in the mix regardless) warrants their name being thrown around with such hostility. However, it's your money and you can choose to never spend it with them in the future.

Mine are out for delivery too today @AmandaD. We will have to compare notes with each other. @Hank Spankman states these are great at around 30 watts with the same flavor and clouds as we get on the .25 at 65 watts.
Just placed my order for DNA200 so I can get these SS coils on a tc device.. so stoked

last friday at like 6am joe posted that the coupon code crown would make them cost 13 and 15 there
then after me and several others ordered them, they changed it to only take 10 off a crown
it still works today. I think originally the code was a secret code to be used by someone to make up for an issue and it was not meant to be public. but joe somehow got his hands on it and posted it. So they change dit to something more reasonable. THANKS JOE.

I'm curious to see what you guys think. I got some .5s, but have been waiting to find some 25s for a reasonable price in Stock. I was reading some stuff on TC from a Ti wire producer. Basically said with TC we should stop thinking in terms of ohms and guage. Should think in terms of speed to temp. It sort of made sense, but I'm not building coils. Curious how 1.2 will do in TC.

My estimate for my new DNA200 is next Friday.... But I already know it will probably be early the next week. :)
