A small update from me . . . . I placed an order with Fasttech on the 21st June, it shipped about 10 days ago - just been delivered today using their British Express Shipping service.
I didn't think that was too bad myself.

I'll happily take those off your hands if I may please Rob . . . although if you've some iSub tanks to find, I'd buy those from you as the iSub's are still in daily use with me.

My ' Before's ' also nicked from Right Move . . . . the Estate Agent had the nerve to call the garden landscaped. My ' After's ' . . . . moved in a year ago, having ripped the house and garden apart -to put it back to how I really wanted it and to realise it's potential. Still got the builder's in after a disastrous ( and expensive bodge job(s) done by the original builder - almost there now though, mainly just the front to get finished off. But there's a shortage of bricks as all the building companies around here bought up stocks before lockdown.
I've put some clematis netting up on the fence, the hope being in a few years that will be covered . . . and I went for astro turf as it wasn't a huge area that needed grass, plus thinking of doggy widdle! And I quite fancy a large 5' x 4' ish mirror/brushed steel on the brick wall t'other side of my house - just to give that illusion of space.

I think perhaps we ought to have a ' Show us your Garden ' thread!
The before and after if you've transformed your outside space - whatever that may be . . . . or a garden that's your pride and joy, even if it needs some work.

However, attentions are diverted - covid and all. This takes a backseat for many. Maybe, with effort, their planned "way forward" may change into something more acceptable to vapers, maybe. But I'm not too hopeful. We are dealing with some very hardnosed pollies ... 
Agreed Dave, but! it's not over until the fat lady sings as we say here . . . . make enough of a noise during this 6months stay of execution and who knows.
I'm a firm believer in people power, if vapers in Oz do everything absolutely possible during the coming months and still aren't successful in changing the minds of the law makers, then at least you've all tried your damnedest and can do no more than that.
This is terrible, terrible news for the health of Australia, absolute madness and I've said it before and I'll say it again . . . . it's totally beyond my comprehension that ecigarettes, have been so demonised and legislated against when vaping offers the most credible, more healthy alternative to tobacco smoking that exists and is ever likely to.
Like many of us, it's over 10 years since I smoked - could I have done this without vaping, no way - not in a million years!
Please do share any petitions that we can put our names to in support of Oz Vapers won't you.
We stand together against this lunacy . . . . .

Thank goodness for that Dave!
Hopefully some common sense might prevail during the next 6 months.

Quoting myself here Neil . . . . . Thanks Mandy. But what if i want 25% over all strength. But with 50% yoghurt? Assuming 10% yoghurt, 10% ripe and 2% shisa?
Will you need 10% Yoghurt Neil? That seems quite high to me for a F'art concentrate . . . not having used the flavour myself I've no personal experience to go by. Having had a quick look around 3% appears to be a suggested starting point.
When you said 50/50 split between Strawberry and Yoghurt - I thought you had mixed them separately, then combined the two - if that makes sense. I'd be inclined to do just that, to get the yoghurt flavour right . . . . milky flavours can turn to baby sick if you go too heavy with them.

Can anyone suggest a good ratio for these strawberries please? Quoting myself here Neil . . . . . Yes mandy i fact i think your right, last recipe i made was with 2 strawberrys. We all went a bundle on Shisha Strawberry and TPA's Ripe Strawberry didn't we! Think I made mine with 10% Ripe Strawberry and 2% Shisha Neil.

@ Perps. BTW Todd explains how to 'break in' these coils so as to extend thier life in this Vid (approx 5min to 8 min mark): Innokin Coolfire Z50Apologies if it's teaching how to suck eggs so to speak! 
Not at all John . . . . it's something I've always done with all coils, start low on the wattage and then gradually work up - most times I'll generally vape at lower than ' suggested ' wattages as a warm vape and throat hit isn't my style of vaping. And I'll generally leave a new coil to sit for 30+ mins after filling the tank, before using it.
Hope you're enjoying your new kit.

Yeah - I do have stash in the freezer (and echo your comments about it lasting well) but I have just ordered more which, hopefully, arrives before the cutoff else that's money done. Grapevine here says many vapers are doing likewise - orders left, right and center to both NZ and China. As to "creative" sourcing - I'm not so sure about that in the near future. This little gem from the Govt closes what was our past "creative solution" to their "nic is banned" laws. Time will tell. But yeah - this is terrible for those who: * Have not stocked up, or * might be up for a switch from smoking.*sigh*
It certainly is . . . . and far, far more draconian than what we have to contend with in the UK under the TPD - which is bad enough.
Presumably you'll still be able to import ' plain ' VG and PG though?

Of course - that means flavours and "DIY" are out the window.
*sigh*
What can I say?
Not a lot Dave, other than to rant and curse at the complete stupidity of this proposed legislation - absolute madness, which certainly isn't in the best health interests of any Australians!
Stock up while you can, I'm using base which has been in the freezer for 9 years now, it appears to be as fresh as the day it went in. That is assuming your overseas sources are still getting through and can continue to be ' creative '.
Expect to see a rise in smoking related diseases if this is passed . . . . .
