lol i didnt like the look of the semi flat black either .but it grew and grew on me .supposedly gonna be available in silver colour too {silver battery cover only i think} it gonna be tiny comparing to my boxy hana clone and a whole lot more techy and powerful ...my estimated time of dispatch is 26th august ...but i still check the site daily incase they come in early lol

lol I know the feeling, I'm the same when ordering things. Always checking the order status, tracking details etc
I hope you didn't opt for the free shipping option cause that will take a good month to reach you after its shipped.

When ordering from china, I recommend using the Singapore Registered mail option which has tracking and doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. Don't opt for the china registered mail, I've had bad experiences with that one.

strange i always use china post ,,it almost always gets to me within 2 weeks of dispatch and usually about a dollar ..no way was i gonna pay for uk epacket when i had no idea when it was gonna get in stock ,i gotta wait a month so 2 more weeks will wizz past if i can just stop checking the site FFS

Oh sweet! Got 3 packages coming via that option! The free China registered one, 6-11 working days

I'm taking notes from this thread too, expecting them to be lubed up

Its weird actually because they will list the china registered/tracked option slightly cheaper and it will mention the delivery time is quicker but I have found that sometimes its delayed and recently one order has gone missing so I'm stuck waiting for a refund on that till they get it back.

With the Singapore option I have found that items get delivered in about 1 week time from the date its shipped or sometimes a couple days over that if anything. Its also cheap, just a few cents or something more than china tracked one.

The free option isn't worth it esp from china as some of them companies have no common sense when shipping things out, I mean you could place an order up today with fasttech for lets say 50 quid or so and if you choose the free shipping option then I bet any money that they will actually send it that way.

Do that in the UK and no chance cause companies over here know that it's not worth the hassle to fill out a claim form, providing a slow service and losing business. Most likely your order will be shipped via next day delivery or recorded or some courier.

This is just my own experience and findings so maybe some other folk here have had better results but all I can say is avoid the free shipping option from china unless you have all the time in the world to wait for it.

where can I get Miltons Sterilizing tablets from? Does dishwasher tablets work?
Coke? your winding me up right lol Don't see that one working but I do have coke lying about.

Can I get rubbing alcohol from Tesco or some other big supermarket store?

Quite apart from the Sugar, the Carbon Dioxide and Phosphoric Acid in Coke will work quite well as a cleaner - try dropping a penny in coke and see what happens after an hour or two...

okay the coke method didn't work, I can still smell machine oil on it. I soaked it in hot soapy water after for a while then rinse, so its been drying out now. I'm not sure how to get rid of this smell completely, this is bothering me now.

Just to add, I left all the parts soaking in coke for 2 hours.

If your at vapefest bring it to me at the POTV tent, I've got some evil Non Chlorinated solvent spray that sees off most things, that and a toothbrush...

 

[viper]

okay so its been left to air dry over night and just took a deep sniff on it, the smell is there but its faint. Is that how it should be or should I get some rubbing alcohol to completely remove it?

My subtank plus had the smell I gave it one good wash could still smell it slightly, tbh I filled it up and vapes away couldn't taste anything dodgy so all good I suppose :0
