Focalecig chat...Part 2

What's up with the polished kui? Looks like they removed the engraving? It was so pretty before. The black one still has it though.

I noticed that this week too @cindycated , so not sure if it will be engraved or not on the one I get, and I agree, looks pretty plain now, but as long as it works alright, then can live with it without engraving.

For me,that's why i bought the polished one.I don't care for the engraving on the black one,so when i seen the polished didn't have it,that's the one i went for,i'm going to sand it down and paint it anyway,and had planned on filling the engraving before paint,so this one will make it easier.

I feel exactly the same way, the glossy finish is turning me off too.


The only real downside I can see for the Velocity is that there really isn't an ideal airhole setup if one wanted to do a single-coil configuration, so it's really best suited for duals or even quads, which I might actually try at some point since the Velocity is far and away the easiest atomizer with which to install coils that I've used thus far. I'll snap some pics and post soon.

Looking forward to the pics, going to place my order for one today....

Thanks for lighting the fire under me, otherwise I might've forgotten to do this.

I suppose I could have taken a picture of the bottom feeder pin but there really aren't any surprises there. The hole is accurately machined, and the 'spout' comes off the bottom of the deck about 5 or 6mm which is great if you like to seat your coils high up, so they get soaked directly. The one post I thought was slightly askew in an earlier post really isn't that bad, it's barely noticeable even in the close-up.

Here's the gap between the Smokeless Owl and the Velocity, only noticeable at just the right angle:

And the deck. Sorry about the mess.

One other observation/complaint is that the outer o-ring seal with the top cap isn't very tight, comes off without much effort. It's tight enough so that if I picked up the Smokeless Owl by just the top cap, it will stay in place, but if it's installed on a heavier mod it would probably come right off.

i have read that some of the velocity clones do not have the knotch in the deck/topcap that keep the entire atty from spinning while adjusting airflow, does the focal ecig clone have said knotch or no???

My copy of SKU: 28264 does have the notch.

After cutting the bottom feed pin to where it is even with the to of the positive block the Velocity has become my favorite BFA.

Confirmed, mine has it too. But it only works when tightening downwards to make the airflow smaller, otherwise it spins when opening/turning counter-clockwise. I just hold onto the bottom section when doing that and it's not an issue.

quick edit: Actually, it does work in both directions in some circumstances. User error!

thank you for the pics and heads up!

that new "zero" mod could have been so good!

 

[G-weezy]

VaporFlask Sqounk is in Chicago. Should get it soon.

Who makes it, if you know? Ni purity...is it SXK?

I bought a Nectar RTA last night.

I wouldn't know that, sorry

looks like they were going for that Pandora look, which I really like

no awesome wood though

I love its looks, but the price is too high. You can preorder the ipvD2 for $50 right now. I chose that. My old ipv1 is still plugging along just fine after 10 months so I'm not so eager to buy weird cloner made mods anymore. All my Sigeleis are doing well, too. Cool looks aren't everything.

Although my Wotofo ZNA is still fine as well.

That fire button location, am I right? What's it doing down there?

edit: OK, now that I'm looking at it more closely, it's as if whoever was taking the pictures installed the battery cap where the firing pin cap is supposed to be, and vice-versa.

 

[nelsonm64]

they ruined that "new" zero by using Philips screws imho! why.... and i'd bet that it is a sxk chip if it has Ni purity

Kui bottom feeder and chalice turned up today, chalice is junk, ohms jump all over the place and won't screw down on the kui, I give up on the chalice clones, 2nd 1 I had from different places and both been crap, they can't seem to get the chalice right.

But the Kui seems good so far, very solid mod for the money

The new zero is made by a company called Inspires.

I love the look of this zero, but is a bit pricey though, I really want it, but after my experience with the sx mini clone, think I will wait for some reviews on it first.

Did it have the engraving, Nailz? On the other side?

No just one big finger magnet, think I will wrap it with a 3M sample

Got mine today, but not from FC. Mine was from a private party classified ad and came with a Nuppin clone. I'm liking it...
