Helloooooooooooo .. the crickets in here are murder! :laugh:

Why is no one talking about this, and the other two just like it? $59.43-$59.95 Vapmod Deezel Style 50W VW Variable Wattage - Tan

Just found it in new arrivals, not sure if it went up today or not but ... I like it :unsure: Never heard of Vapmod so I have no detailed info, and while I should be over anything Zero mod inspired, this looks really good.

Its not a clone, although clearly inspired by the Zero ... different dimensions and size, and if the specs are correct it is also heavy as hell at 280 grams, but hefty devices appeal to me.
That is one sexy looking mod! The patterned leather sleeve gives it a custom look, almost like something you would come up with:laugh: Have you been able to figure out what chip is in it?

The other one that interests me is the single battery Vapor Flask clone they have. Did VF come out with a "mini" or did Kangxin come up with that idea? The size, shape, and price make it a contender for when I'm ready to start playing with temp control. I'm hoping they used the same chip that's in the full size version which seems to work well by the feedback I've read.

$49.24-$49.96 Mini VF KX-50D Temperature Protection 50w VW MOD by Kangxin - Black

Well actually the total weight is listed as 450 grams, the device weight sys 280 grams which should not be far off. The Yosen Zero Modz clone was about 220grams device only. The extra weight could be due to the inner housing, especially if it is fully stainless steel, not just the frame.

We will see .. I am just overjoyed that they used genuine "cow" leather to wrap the body, and its not a clone :banana:
This video was all I could find for the Vapmod UBOX 50 .. looks like a ecig convention.
Okay, the 220g weight must be the first rendition 'cause my "v2" Zeros (has a cradle for the board) are both about 200-202g. Buy yeah, no big deal either way. FWIW, while it's heavy relative to many other mods, it's a good heavy as I'm sure you can relate to.

X3 on the mini VF. Something about it, I like.

Silly Panda!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Welcome! Hi-bye!

@Halfempty, good to see you here again. I've been looking for you. I wanted to thank you and Nikki with pics of the goodies you sent me awhile back, but so much time has gone by and still can't seem to gather the funds I need to make that happen (sorry, 7 years unemployed), but

my vaporflask clone still hasn't shipped from the US warehouse

who do I need to whine to about this?

lol

Hun I believe I read somewhere that the next batch of Waidea Flasks were not shipping until 4/23 .. the most recent orders were broken up into two batch dates. Orders received after 4/6 I think were put into the 4/23 batch. :(

It is sexy right? And not to brag or anything but errr, I wouldn't be surprised if Sunzip got their idea to use leather from spying on one of my internet posts/photos showing how I faux leather wrapped my Zero back in November .. So happy that someone decided to do what a lot of other "authentic modders" have done and make a "C" framed mod that wasn't a direct copy or clone.

I hope the chip is a good one, but there is only one way to find out :)

I think Kangxin came up with their half flask on their own ..

Oh you are not alone, at least in that I have been a member here for a very long time yet there are many areas of this forum that I have never been to or explored.

Cindyyyyyy, it's great to hear from you! I've been a little scarce lately, that darned reality thing has been getting in the way of my fun stuff. Time and money have been a way more precious commodity than usual, so avoiding temptation has been a side benefit.

Glad to hear you liked the DT, I couldn't pass them up. Kept one and found good families to adopt the other two. :D

Saw you in th rayon thread yesterday and almost posted, but that place is too fast paced for me. Besides I couldn't think of anything to reply to your comment that wouldn't have gotten me in trouble. Sorry I can't come up with some cutesy images you deserve, but I'm at work on my phone right now.

Does anybody have any experience with Focalecig in regards to lost packages?

I ordered a Waidea flask clone a few weeks ago, which shipped on the 2nd. It actually made it to the US pretty quickly, and through customs even quicker. But there has been no updates on the tracking number since it left San Francisco on the 6th. After some email exchanges with Eleven from Focal, I'm starting to get concerned.

First Eleven replied with tracking information for a different package than mine.

Eleven said:
Thanks for reaching out and we checked the order XXXXXXXXXXX which was shipped on April 2nd. Tracking number is XXXXXXXXXXX

CHINA, Acceptance


The goods is arrived at the destination country at present, please wait a little more time and try to contact to the post office in details, it will be arrived in these days.


Please wait a few days to get online tracking information as the logistic company requires few days to scan packages and upload information on website.


Best Regards,

Eleven

Well that's not my package. My package shipped on the 2nd and made it through San Francisco on the 6th. After telling him about that, I got this response.

Eleven said:
Please try to contact to the local post office in details and get the items timely .
We have also submitted to the logistic company in details and will get back to you timely once received any message.

I haven't contacted my local post office yet, but I have checked on filing a missing item claim online, but the USPS won't process it due to it being an international mail item.

So basically if my package never arrives, I'm out $70.

Has anybody had better experience with Focal if/when their packages have gone missing?
