Vapemail came today. I was pleasantly surprised by the shipping time. I can't recall anything ever coming in a week from China. FT usually takes a couple weeks at the least. 3F did a good job on shipping.
On to the device, it looks exactly like it should, threads are good, machining is good, they even got the vertical brushed finish correct.
It included the blue screwdriver, pink Orings, extra screws, and the hybrid adapter piece. It was all in a little white box, no cotton bacon, no silica or premade Chinese coils.
When I have some time I'll slap a build on it and let you all know how it performs, but my initial impression is it'll be just fine. Looks great.

I'm trying to post some pics from my phone and it's not working. I'll put them up shortly.

How is the air flow on this I'm very interested only downside is the air flow looks weak and knowing aqua it is, but I'd like to hear what you think. I vape 60-80w so would like to kno if this tank is atleast capable of 60w while chain vaping

I recently acquired the SE (authentic) and it's a great vape. You are limited by the space on the deck though.

I have dual 26gauge coils using a 2.4mm coil ID that reads around 0.5 and it's a nice fit. It can handle up to 40 watts with no issues, but I vape it on a mechanical most of the time. You can probably bump up the coil ID to around 2.7mm (maybe 3.0mm), like a 7/64 bit. You might be able to get away with using 24 with that larger ID, but it would be tight.

You also have to remember that the airflow holes on the deck itself are about 2.5mm in diameter, it's still a generously open draw, but you have to get the coil above the holes in such a way that the air can hit the coil efficiently if you decide to use a larger ID, this shouldn't be an issue though. The insulator is ceramic, so there's not much to worry about there.

That being said, the tank is small and will eat your liquid up being vaped at such a high wattage, but that isn't really an issue since filling is very easy. You really don't need to aim to vape this tank at 60-80 watts. It really puts out a nice amount of vapor if I vape it on a regulated around 35 watts with the build I mentioned, the draw is very nice too, more open then my GoblinV1. I can chain vape it too, wicks very very well.

Is it usual for Focal to list clones without mentioning that they're styled etc?

Something is odd about this atty, is it a clone or is it them just slashing the price and selling via the clone sellers?

This does look odd that the photos show the cotton bacon package, but if you look in the packing list towards the bottom of that page it says.
1 x Aqua SE Style RTA
1 x Replacement Tank
1 x Screwdriver
2 x Screws
8 x O-rings
1 x Cotton
1 x Fitting

So there it says Aqua "style"

So maybe they just took pics of the authentic, or maybe they cloned the cotton bacon too. Not sure.
