1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Sourcemore. $11.33 for genuine 316L SS, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.2 Ohm. Pricier than many companies, but I get my Nautilus coils from them (a lot). Only company I've never had an order stolen from.

    Personally never had any issues with Focal, but only placed 6 or 7 orders with them and never had to return anything. Always used PayPal.

    Since Jan '15 FT's CS has deteriorated; the money back guarantee is worthless now, and so, if I buy clones, I'll make sure it's from the more reputable companies like SXK etc.
    GB and 3F get the majority of my business now - not that there is an awful lot of it.

    Placed one order with them for the coils I mentioned. Received without any issues. They do accept Paypal but it has been removed due to technical issues for a while. It will be re-added soon they told me by email. Gearbest is far more user friendly website than focalecig though.

    I do agree with this. i've used both of them and to Gearbest is much better. guess that's why it is "best"

    My order with GB was shipped on 9th and still has not even left NL. It only showed up on Post NL tracking website yesterday. Slow times i guess with Christmas incoming.

    I've been waiting for a NL Post registered shipment from China for exactly one month ( appeared as departed to Thailand on the NL site two weeks ago). I will never use them again. China Post is very fast to Thailand. Usually 10 days to two weeks for me. I went with NL Post as an experiment this one time with an order from Heaven's Gifts and I think I could have walked it here faster. Lesson learned.

    My order was shipped on 9th November. On 22nd November it was updated as departed to Thailand. Hope it doesn't take another 2-3 weeks to reach Thailand as you said. Will update again when arrives in Thai tracking system. If after all of this it gets seized I'm going to be pissed. lol

    Still waiting and still never reached thailand. It could have come faster by boat.
