Yeah its from them, savings made me decide to use them in the end, even though I hate waiting!
Got a nitecore charger today to atleast make it feel like I bought something...
I have 2 different orders coming through now, hopefully the other one will still reach me in May...

Hi Snape. Nice Fasttech order. You shall be all powerful on mail day
I've got two Efest 18500's and one 18350 in my arsenal. The 18500 last me about 4-5 hours and the 18350 last me about 2-3 hours. Up until recently I vaped a Kayfun and Trident at 0.6 ohms, so that is the kind of runtime you're looking at if you're a compulsive vaper. Also, I never let the batts drop below 3.75v. The less charge your battery has, the less power goes through your coil. It's a good idea to charge at 3.7v as it preserves the battery better too.
Do yourself a favour and have a look at this thread. It covers all the bases of battery safety and you'll have a greater understanding of the battery's role in mechs. This tip is really more of a prescription than a recommendation
28g kanthal is a good place to start. You'll also need a tiny phillips- and flat head screwdriver for attaching your coils, a pair of tweezers for pinching and shaping your coils, and some Dischem/Clicks cotton for fueling your coils.
Youtube is abundant with instructional coil building videos. The more you watch the more you learn the more you understand. Are you in Johannesburg? Let's see how you fare when your gear arrives but I will be happy to meet you after work one day to go through the entire process head to toe.
Generous offer from a master coiler! Way to go @Reinvanhardt !
Good luck with your vaping @Snape of Vape
electronic or mech, for me once a battery reaches around 3.8 volts i notice a performance drop and then i swop out for a fresh one
Agreed @denizenx
Even on an electronic regulated mod, which is supposed to keep things regulated (and boosted) I also notice a bit of a power slump when the batt gets to about 3.7V. I suppose that the power slump observed is not as much since one is normally vaping at lower power, but its definitely there.

Anyone else other than VK to try for the batteries and wires perhaps?
@VapeCulture = top notch batteries.
@Snape of Vape offer still stands, I am ready and willing, just press the button with the little green phone to start dialing.
If you want to get that warm fuzzy feeling about what you have coming in the vape mail, I have those devices on hand for you to look at including the different size batteries so you can see first hand the sizes.
Over to you.
definitely realised at the meet that this side of vaping is not for me hahaha 
Nooo, and we were so looking forward to help you with building coilsdefinitely realised at the meet that this side of vaping is not for me hahaha

that was some hectic stuff! if i had to put nicotine juice in there i'd pull a 'Silver' after one hit hahahaha
Yeah, but that was extreme - built for cloud chasing - for sure not you regular mech stuff, which is different kettle of fish altogether.that was some hectic stuff! if i had to put nicotine juice in there i'd pull a 'Silver' after one hit hahahaha
I had my Trident set up with a 0.3Ohms coil a while ago and I'll tell you its damn confusing, you never know when your battery is actually getting flat, took it out every half hour to test its voltage, full battery gives around 50watts and empty (messured around 3.5v) still gives more than 30watts, so decided to go up to 0.8Ohms again cause I can actually feel when the battery is flat and then charge it without having to check the voltage regularly.

Me again...
So it seems that my nemesis has arrived in the country, order shipped on the 15th from fasttech, so I'm really impressed! Hopefully will get it by end next week or so.
Between these two, is there any real difference? I want to get 2 batteries and then 1 18350, or 2 18350 and then 1 18650...

Also, should I buy Ekowool and Silica wick from the site? Pre made coils? I am thinking of ordering from vapemob as they seem to have the most items in stock compared to other sites

Hi @Snape of Vape, I'm not sure myself. The 3100's will give you longer vape time, probably good with a higher ohm coil.
The 2100 will give you a better safety margin on very sub ohm coils, and not as long of a vape time.
get the 30A. don't bother about vape time, you will anyway buy more batts soon. Actually, buy 2 of those straight away, if the wallet allows. With the 30A you have a bigger safety window, and you probably want to go down with ohms gradually anyway. Thats how I did it too.
i got 8x 30A batts, all flat top. Its working in all mechs so far.
On the silica wick side of things, 1.5mm vs 2mm? Any suggestions or should I get 2m of each?
