About the same, small parcels are easier with an post as they don't require a signature, anything over 50€ has to be courier though.

J Mysterio

Most of Ireland is normally next day delivery from Irish vendors with An Post.

With TBS I think Fastway was always the same price as An Post?

I took Fastway in my last place cos I knew there was going to be me or someone at home - if no one can meet the courier, go An Post!

I always use an post and never had a problem, 1 or 2 day delivery depending on time a day ordering

I'm looking on vapebase.de and the flavour descriptions are a bit lacking. Are there any good irish vendors for concentrates? Thanks for any help!

I use justvape247.com in the UK and get it delivered via parcel motel. Fantastic range.

Picknmixdiy.com are meant to be good, but I haven't used them.

RIchieNouveau

Thanks lads!

Jeez, the flavours aren't cheap. Does anyone know if Flavour Apprentice on picknmixdiy.com are any good? I can try more flavours out at their prices but don't want to if I'm going to end up with something more like hangsen rather than wingnuts.

I was using my sub tank with my stingray in hybrid mode and the thing shorted out on me. I had this horrible burning smell and it had fired (even though I had the locking ring screwed down) burning out the head and over heating the battery.

The switch seems to have lost its silver plating, is this fecked now? Anyone know if these screws are available?

This happens to alot of us,the 510 pin on the Subtank does not pertrude enough for hybrids & causes a hard short,If you do not get another screw,pull the screw out & give it a good sanding,you might get a little voltage drop afterwards,it should still work.
Check spring is still intact,replace if needed.

I was actually at Heathrow transferring between flights when it happened. Imagine if it had gone bang in security. I'd have ended up explaining it to special branch!

Thanks for that! Especially the stevia and ethyl maltol tip. I can't see this on their site, what kind of delivery time should I expect to Ireland? Thanks!

Now it's sitting on my desk, the nostril teasing aroma wafting out suggest a possible freebie? Trying to resist temptation now and will open when I get home

Hiya Fred.
Have a look at this...

What's a good alternative to the iStick 50w, since they seem to be going on fire all over the world these days?

I was thinking IPV mini 2, but I don't really fancy the removable battery and worrying about amp limits. For example it can fire down to 0.2 ohm and it can output 8.5V, that would give you 42.5 amps and I've only seen batteries rated up to 35A.

I'm looking at the smok xpro m65 too but the reviews aren't great.

youdipstick

This is something I could do with for all my mech mods,GrimmGreen was showing it & here are pics of it,get it made in wood over here would be handy.

I'm not good with numbers or any of that side, but I have the IPVm2 and atm firing a 0.3 Atlantis coil on there without issue, overheating or cut outs etc

I don't even know what amps the batteries are, they're LG HE4 batt's, one site says 20amp, another 35amp! All I know is they were recommended at least, on many.

I have two Cloupor Minis (30w).
They are perfect so far.
This product got a bad name early on after an early batch had dangerous overheating issues which caused a few to, well, explode.
They sorted the problem and mine are great, in fact I'm waiting on 2 more to arrive to replace my 20w iSticks.
Which reminds me, I need to order some more flat top vtc4s or samsungs.

Thecageyone

Cloupor mini is good then? My missus is looking to upgrade her iStick 20w, she was veering toward the 30w, but spotted the Cloupor also. I did say I thought there was some issues with them, but that's passed now?

It turns your mech tube mod into a box mod.

I think they're great.
Nice size and feel in the hand, solid power output, super easy to change the battery (flat top 18650 only).
I'd say the only reason to pick the 30w iStick instead would be the easy charging.
I prefer devices I can charge a battery in a proper charger for.

I need to change my istick 20w because of the threading issue, was just going to get an istick mini... Never use high wattage and the istick gives me plenty of battery life for the amount I vape. Would the mini be a good move???

The battery isn't as good as the old 20W/30W and obviously 50W but they charge really really quickly compared to all my other mods.

I think they're great for what they are especially if wattage isn't a issue for you.
