    Wowzers. I made an order from FC on 1/14 and it arrived in the US on 1/18. It only took 4 days to go from China to the Chicago! :thumbs: For some reason it's still hasn't left Chicago eight days later. :nah: Focal is rocking it out and the USPS is fumbling the ball. *cry* Edit because I...

    Just like with the Hana clones I so wish these didn't have the original creator's logo and say "Made in USA". Shameful.

    I don't go for vapor production. It's all about a nice smooth vape with pretty open airflow. Sounds like the Rose V2 will be my next atty. Thanks for the recommendation. :thumbs:

    I've been putting a FC Orchid v4 through it's paces. Been vaping on it with a few different builds and so far it kinda rocks. It's getting just about as much love (vape time) as the Lemo. I see most people here are raving about the Rose v2 and if it's nicer than the Orchid I have to get one. :laugh:

    That's true of authentic Erlk's, but this Erlk clone has the longest 510 of any atty I own. It's so tall it doesn't sit flush on any mod. It just won't thread onto on the DNA 30.

    I have the same problem with my FC Erlkonigin clone. It screws onto my IPV Mini pretty well but it won't thread onto my FC DNA 30.

    Sorry, never tried the Origen. I lasted 2 visits before I was done with the FT thread. Even though I don't post here often, the people keep me coming back. They're usually very helpful and always a pleasure to talk to. Definitely a cut above.

    I was getting a few dry hits with the microcoil build but not a single one on the spiral coil, but I think it has a little to do using a tiny bit less cotton in the channels (but I also have more cotton through the coil). I just learned an easy way to make perfectly spaced spiral coils. Make...

    I wasn't happy with my build on my FC Erlkonigin clone (#22628). It was kinda harsh with a micro coil and the metal drip tip would get hot. I tried a spiral coil and it definitely vapes better. It's a little cooler at the same watt settings and much smoother. It may have been the wicking. The...

    Zvaper did a video about spiral coils being better than micro coils a while back. It's definitely worth a look.

    King of the 18650 batteries???

    I ordered a pair of LG HE4 batteries from BeVapeHappy and they sent me the Samsung 25Rs. I was going to send them back for an exchange but I don't see anybody recommending the HE4's over the 25R's. Maybe I'll just keep them even though I already have a set of 25R's. It's been tough finding...

    I haven't tried Gambit. Do you by chance know how it compares with Slevin from Carpe Diem? That's actually the only apple pie I've had and it's banging. If Gambit is better and isn't too sweet I'll have to get some. I don't have an Aqua but I could load it in my new FC Orchid or Erlk. They still...

    I WISH they had these a week ago. I wanted to order one from FC but they didn't have them yet. I ended up ordering from GB. Was $32.23 with insurance (but no tracking). The deal was too good to pass up. I've been a mechanical mod user for a long time but these small 30w boxes are sending my...

    You were right! :) I emailed Doris about the "too hot" reading on my DNA 30 and she did ask me to send a video. I did and somebody named "Eleven" replied back and told me they would send another one out with my next order. I already have 2 orders from focalecig on their way right now so I don't...

    It does, thank you. You mention in the video notes that you wanted to return it to focalecig. If you did return it, how did that go? That's the rout I'll be taking.

    I'll need to upload a video? Wow. This is an amazing century. I'll use my phone to shoot an HD video of an electronic vaping device and send it via email to a company in China for defect verification. Couldn't do that when I was a kid. :tongue:

    iPV Mini?

    Got my IPV Mini yesterday and it's working beautifully. Matched it with a Lemo and it's killer. Mine is A0453.

    Solid advice. I'll email FC today and ask if I can return it. I waited so long to get one hoping that the bugs would be worked out. Guess it was wishful thinking. :( On another note my IPV Mini is flawless. :toast:

    Thank you so much for the response. Maybe it would be best to return it but I do have lots of soldering equipment and the back and forth from China is such a long process. Most of my soldering experience is with rewiring guitars. If it's a simple soldering repair I'm fine doing it myself but...

    I got my focalecig DNA 30 box mod in yesterday (SKU: 19557) and it keeps giving me "too hot" errors. I even tried using an aerotank with 2ohm coils at 8 watts and it still gives me the "too hot" warning. I bought it for my Lemo and it's built at 1,1ohm and I run that at 15 watts. Just tried it...
