sent them a message about my experience with the black jack...got this reply Did you send them your mix, Adam78? I'd be interested to read their response, if you've had one. I've now tried the Blackjack at 10% - sampled 24hrs after mixing, it smelled fine but tasted weak. Sampled 14 days after mixing and the taste is there but too weak for me. 15% - sampled 24hrs after mixing, it smelled great and tasted okay but with a bitter backbite. Sampled after 10 days, the aftertaste was just nasty. 20% - sampled 24hrs after mixing, an overpowering smell, the taste was so strong that I couldn't vape it for more than a minute. After at least 14 days steeping, the taste was even worse and it gunked my coils after just a few minutes vaping. I've also tried their Mint Choc Ice Cream concentrate, initially at 10%, then 15%, then 20% and finally at 25% before I got to a vaguely chocolatey taste with no sense of ice cream. NB. I've only been vaping for 10 weeks and my tastebuds are rather jaded. Most of these samples were vaped with fairly new and clean-ish 1.8ohm coils on PT Mini 2s and 3s on a Twist (stepping up from 3.5v to 4.5v).

ceedee mine still shows as "received from customer" and it was shipped on the 15th too. 17track.net is indicating that mine was "Despatched to overseas" yesterday - days after others received theirs in the UK. Which suggests to me that it was either stuck in customs for 10 days or so or FocalEcig are being economical with the truth about the despatch dates. *sigh* Ah well, looks like it'll arrive in another week or so. I can be patient. I can be patient. I can b...

For the last 10 days I've been trying not to worry about the tracking not working but out of nowhere the Singapore Post website is now showing that they "Received from Customer" only yesterday. The focalecig website shows it shipped on the 15th.
Is this just normal for Singapore Post?
Has anyone who's tracking failed to work received their Nemesis yet?
Is the mild sense of panic I'm feeling just a further symptom of shinyitis?

And both on the EFVI-uk map too. I tried to order a Dodo box, but the email link didn't work. Thank you Jess Oh dear. Was that to dodobox@efvi-uk.co.uk ? If so, could I ask you to try it again? If it still doesn't work for you I'll make sure DodoCentral knows you're after a box. It might take a week or so to send out to you as I believe they've run out of stock and are awaiting fresh supplies.
