Just checked and all my singapore parcels are 'dispatched to overseas GB' status, and my malaysia post parcel is on its way to london.
Will be interesting what turns up first... have 4 different orders on way containing between them 3 nemesis variations, nemi magnets, a plastic trident, a fatty v3, some bottles and some sony VTC3 batteries(thats the malaysia post one).

I think the ceramic heating element could be produced in a smaller version and fitted as standard to many vaping devices once the Chinese grasp the straw. I think your right, it will be modified version of the donuts. I'm yet to try them but if vaping doesn't get killed off in the mean time, devices specifically designed to use similar could be the next gen of rba/rda. Guessing the maker of the donuts will have patients in place but will mean little to the Chinese. Most stuff on the market now is just variations on stuff before, some better but still variations. |

If you use too much or too little cotton in your coil it can taste funny, and if it's not saturated then it will definitely taste funny, or even burnt. It could also be that the cotton picked up oils from your hands, I always wash my hands before I thread my cotton through my coils as I get quite sweaty palms and it can give the cotton a funky taste if your hands are sweaty or dirty. Boiling cotton doesn't really seem to make a difference for me in terms of flavour and I usually fire my mod after saturating the cotton and blow the vapour away before putting a bit more juice on the coil and screwing the chimney down on my kayfun builds. This proabably does nothing but It means I know my coil is working and gets the cotton wicking nicely. As far as I'm aware boiling cotton is a preference and has no safety implications. Won't hurt you if you don't won't hurt if you do boil it. Definetly was something specific to that wool, I drip so start off saturated then less so, though I agree amount of wool matters for how quick it wickes. Wasn't a burnt taste, wool wasn't dry enough, more of a chemical taste. Leaving unboilled works for me, suppose no one really knows what is best for this for sure. |

I have a question though..... Should I be boiling my wool?
I've read plenty of people do but I never bothered, maybe the first wool would of been fine if I had?

I kinda thought this was probably the case.
That said I have used non organic that tasted funny when anything but saturated.
And cotton from organic cotton makeup remover pads that tasted fine but smelt of perfume but didn't mention any perfume on the packaging.
In the end I've done the sheep thing and got organic balls of amazon.

That's very kind of you dagl.  Back ups are essential really if you're relying on a China delivery . . . I'd be thinking about raising a PayPal dispute 43 days after the date of purchase, a couple of days ahead of the current deadline. You don't have to escalate it to a claim immediately, 9 days I think is the time frame for that. Then hope your delivery reaches you before that. Am I understanding right? At 43 days open 'despute' Then within 9 days open 'claim' Cheers perps |

Ok, so I ordered an svd from FT on 9th February, they shipped on 17th, and it left for GB on 23rd. I heard somewhere that there's a time limit for a non-delivered refund so when should I raise a ticket? My crippled vamo has officially died as of yesterday, I've got one very dodgy ego battery that lasts about 4 hours on a charge, and the posties still not been! Glad you posted, I'm in similar situation to you and was wondering if I should be doing anything about it. |

I use organic cotton wool, but if you read the blurb on the pack it is all about the farming, and nothing about the subsequent treatment. Then again it is not much more expensive and a pack lasts all year. @yinyang reckons that virtually all cotton wool is bleached, and I see no reason to disbelieve him. The first wool I had did have a nasty flavour when not saturated... But could be anything, your probably right. The pads I used actually smelt flowery.. god knows what I was vaping there, forgot that point. Ones off Amazon best and happy with them, smell of nothing and no weird tastes. Organic means doesn't automatically mean safe but its a attempt at it lol. |

after 13 months vaping i have reached my perfect set up - for the fifth time. i expect to achieve the perfect set up about every 3 months or so at which point i smile smugly and tell myself that i don't need to spend much money anymore. good luck with your perfect set up boy. Was feeling a little smug AND a little dissapointed as interest in reading about stuff has been waning, this has been my main hobby recently!  Your probably right and it will pass! |

Hi all,
Just realised that I may have reached my perfect setup as everything else is getting less appealing.
Mod wise my mod ain't pretty, a brass sentinel clone but got 3 nemesis clones on way which looks good and plan to use two with one for spare... But other mods don't appeal to me enough to get my card out.
Clearo wise protank mini does all I need, though only as a backup, or for situations where dripping may not be appropriate.
And my main setups are a origen clone and a orieco storm clone.. subtly different rda but don't need more.
Got a trident clone too, but unloved really.
I'm not saying I don't love the look of other rdas, would love a castle, magma, atomic and others, but don't feel the need to get them.
Anyhow think I've leveled out, try various coils, but always go back to 0.7ohm .32 mm vertical setup as nothing beats it for me.
Does anyone else feel they've got to their ideal device? And if so what is it?
