I ordered a little from FT - and will have to wait for it to get to Ireland and then me Ma to post it here - one of the reasons i only ordered a little. The annoying thing is, just popped an order in on taobao.com - and half expect that to arrive next weekend

Thanks gill2009 - but tis Year of the Monkey - my year - so an ickle cheek and a lot of smiles works wonders - and about the only place that that shot was possible - i was looking for other options for 20 minutes 'Security Guard' was more surprised that anyone wanted to enter, what was basically a carpark, tbh

Guangzhou - Old and New! The Chigang Pagoda (1619 - 53.7m) and the Canton Tower (2010 - 600m) Kinda had to 'trespass' to get the shot - so just set up the phone-cam, breezed past the 'security guard' and when questioned - just smiled, Ni Hao'd, pointed at the phone and carried on - the 'stupid Laowai' who can't read bit worked fine again

Whilst not technically a 'Stock Coil' the Footoon Aqua Fx does do pre-made coils - with the benefit of a fresh ceramic cup and extra clips to use to rebuild yourself after. With a spare complete head - you can carry it with you and then just pop it in like you would a stock coil and then rebuild when thee want or 'can be arsed'. Whilst it's a bit different to build it gets a lot easier with practice - also is top-fill and gives a 3ml or comes with a 5ml extension. Might be worth a look

Chinese Quality Control certainly used to be very variable - which could be one explanation.
But it also is very subjective about what tastes 'muted' to one maybe fine for another. It could be as simple as the cotton used or quality of wire - especially to someone used to using the RBA and tailoring their preference.
With most of the Stock heads i've tried - limited though that has been as i've been in less vaping accessible parts of the world - they can't compete with my own build. Having said that - some have been more than acceptable - the ones with the 2 FuryTanks - the Dual Scissor Head in the original and the Clapton in the FT2. The Cubis coils were pretty good - but did need to be broken in at low W's to start with before cranking them up after a few tanks.
I like the Delta II - the RBA head especially - but the stock coils - even with their 'juice control' don't seem as good as the RBA head. But, if i hadn't used the RBA, i'd be happy with them LoL

Well left Sz and moved onto to Guangzhou - an hour away by train, with plenty of potential English jobs for the future - so thought it was worth having a lookie. On Saturday a lass from the Pig Hotel i was staying at in Sz is coming back and is going to give me an ickle tour So had a final meal with the 'Boss' and his family before heading off - when i came back with a cake they assumed it was my birthday, rather than a leaving gift LoL As there was still some of the 'Posh' Baijiu left the 'Boss' thought that it should be gone when i was - and it's 'impolite' to refuse (and i mean considered out right rude!) LoL So i now have an 'adopted' family in ShenZhen - with my other 'brothers' and family Luckily got a lift from Mr Lee to the station - i brought my memory foam mattress with me, as all the reviews of the first place i was staying at complained about the sleeping on a wooden beds, so figured i'd solve the problem as it was so cheap (£72 for 4 weeks). But it proved difficult for LJ and Finnie to get to me - let alone getting anywhere else! So moved to the 'Pig hotel' run by my new 'family'. Still a dorm, with bunks, but on the 29th floor of a nice bItlock, and 15 minutes walk to 2 different shopping malls, my bank and either the subway or rail station. The Baijui though did make negotiating the arrival in Guangzhou a tad more complicated than it needed to be. Just when i was serioulsy thinking of getting a taxi (when the scammers try and charge 200rmb - as it's a very long way - a real cab might be 60-80 and the subway merely 10 + 10 more for a taxi to the hotel) i came to me senses - got onto to my WeChat friends and got directions and connections for the subway and which connections etc - Bless Them! If i haven't mentioned WeChat before - it's kinda China's improved version of WhatsApp - Instant message, share pictures, talk, 'share moments' and even 'sights' (short video) - pretty cool for the "Where exactly are you?" moments. Also has a 'wallet' so you can pay for things. top up your phone, transfer money quickly and easily.... It's available in the West too - but the general conspiracy is that it's accessible by the Chinese government - so use it but just a heads up Just to add - the 'Pig Hostel' is on the 29th floor of this rather nice building - close (well 10-15 minutes walk) to many things including the exhibition centre - where the Shenzhen Ecig Expo will be (i think) in April. Fingers crossed that i get to go and play there too - and know where i'll probably be staying now too
