id like to try the zlide tank, just debating if i can suffer a 2ml tank, fastech has the 4ml (quite dear for them i thought $18.70) im so indecisive, i do my own head in.
Yep, I get that Raggy . . . . the maddening part is the size restriction serves no real purpose as a deterrent, much like 10ml bottles!
My suggestion would be to buy one, see if you like it, then order a couple from FT and be prepared for a wait on delivery - there might even be a discount code in the meanwhile to soften the price.
If it's any consolation I'm having a similar quandary over a new compact digital camera, I've looked at the spec of so many now and still not decided which one would suit my needs ( and skills! ) best. Most unlike me as I'm a really decisive person as a rule! xx

I honestly don't know . . . some of the guys have been waiting a fair old time for orders:

ragjoy...I've had a Fastech package sitting since beginning of January. I love the Zlide, & to be honest, the 2ml doesn't bother me, I'm ready for a change of flavour by then

ok, so ive not ordered the tank from your link (this one is tank only, many of the others are kits, spare glass, tip, carto etc). my problem is i dont really want to be clouding and many of the new isub plex 3d mesh coils ones seem to be .35ohm rated, best at 30 watts plus. generally im at 8 watts, i dont mind a bit higher but this would be a bit extreme for me i think, do they do these cartos at a higher ohms if so what number am i looking for. tia.

Search for Zenith/Zlide coils Raggy - they're available in 1.6ohm:

not sure ive done right but i finished up buying from TECC full tank set minus a spare glass, 3pks x 5 1.6 ohms coils or cartos £35.70. the cheaper one, linked was £3.50 delivery for a just the tank, paid a similar price of £7 per 5 for the coils at several places. all works out about the same price but only now one company, a couple of free coils, a spare mouthpiece and some O rings waiting to see how it goes now. im gonna hangfire on the uwell caliburn for my wife and see what she thinks of the t80 with these new cartos and tanks. thank you all for your as always helpfulness. still the only place to for genuinely friendly advice.

a quick question. when, for future reference ordering from fasttech, what is the difference between the zenith standard and TPD coils. are the standard needed for the 4ml tank, ive now ordered a 4ml tank (long wait maybe) should i have ordered coils to go with the different size tank? tia i already have the 2ml zlide tank and ive ordered the 4ml zlide tank.

Not a great deal that I can see Raggy . . . Zenith coils are Zenith coils, the size tank is irrelevant - could be a marketing thing maybe?
But if you're getting on with the 1.6ohm, then these probably won't be of interest to you.

thanks perpy, yes i see the 1.2 zlide coils, states 10w to 14w so might give them a go.
ref the sizes of the coils, i must have been reading singles and 5 packs but single tpd and standard are listed as height 21.8mm, 13mm depth and width, 5 grams whereas the 5 pack tpd and standard are listed as height 22.2mm, 13mm depth and width, and 7 grams. loving the tank and coils at the minute, like how i can change from mtl to dtl, just a pain in the butt keep filling it, especially as i rarely let it go below 40%.

Like you, I seldom let my tanks run super low on eliquid - I'm conscious of knackering the coil if I do, or it's just an OCD thing with me.
2ml tanks are ok for occasional use I guess at a pinch, but if it's being used exclusively, then the lack of capacity can become a pain.
Delighted to hear you're getting on with all the new equipment though Raggy.

im using the 1.6 zenith coils @ 10 watts, im using homemade from concentrate welsh custard @ 60vg/40pg, ive made a new batch at 50/50 as wondering if the vg is the issue. after 5 to 7 days the taste drops off and the draw becomes much tighter even fully open, it becomes mtl rather than dtl. is the this about right for these coils, id read there a 4 to 6 week coil, no worries if there not just dont want to persevere if that's how they go, i'll just use another one. tia.
