The more I see about the Cthulhu, the more I want one. Anyone know where a genuine can be bought in the USA? Seems to be more of a UK distribution. Plus clones are already out there and I'd rather avoid a clone of an atomizer that is already very reasonably priced lol.
Mine came from Smog Distribution. I also saw them at vape Royalty.
I've heard back from Focusecig in regards to the Focloud. They are sending me a new one. So they do have good CS. Hopefully the machining is better because I do really like this atty. Its a unique design, and a flavor monster. I do want to keep it in my collection.
Thanks. Just ordered from Smog Distribution. They only had 2 left (now 1 left) so that was a close one lol.
Let us know how the new replacement Focloud works out too!
Arrived Friday so I've only had it a couple days but here are some thoughts:
Appearance and surface finish are excellent. To me it looks like a much more expensive piece than it is. I hate exposed o-rings or design stuff milled into the exterior, so the combination of this thing's appearance and it's performance moves it to the top spot on my atty rotation.
Threads are a bit on the "crunchy" side but it all fits together without curse words lol.
Building it is simple enough and getting the wicks just right only took 2 tries. The secret seems to be making sure to keep the wicks away from the air holes as much as possible ; there's no little juice dam around the air holes like on the billow so just a bit more care is needed to prevent leaks. Other than that, no "surgical techniques" or anything special needed. Rewicking will be a breeze.
Having to drain and disassemble to tweak the build is a bummer but for the appealing looks and performance of it, I can overlook that.
Performance is excellent. I built it with 13 wraps of 28 AWG Ni 200, 2.5 mm, and 40 watts isn't even quite enough. Excellent vapor and flavor. I'm going to downsize to 2 mm and 30 AWG on the next build. In addition to drinking juice, it also likes to eat 18650's as desert lol.
Over all for about 30 bucks, I'm very satisfied with it.
Very Cool. Sounds like a Nice Unit.
My Next purchase is going to be a Goblin Mini. Unless the Initial Reviews come back Bad.
But I have this unit next after that.
If you want flavour and vapour you can't really go wrong with the Cthulhu, especially at the price point.
Okay I just wicked up my shiny new Billow V2 and I have to retract my earlier statement.
This thing knocks it out of the park, flavour is off the charts! Plus it puts out a tonne of vapour. On top of that the wicking is far easier than any dual coil tank I've tried, you don't have to dump your juice to access the build deck and it performs maginficently even at lower wattages.

For strictly performance, I have a tough time giving any of my dual coil tanks a particular edge, if the builds are absolutely identical (including subtle stuff like exact distance of coil to airhole). The latest crop of tanks are all just outstanding compared to what came before. Features wise, the billow v2 has huge juice capacity, no leak no tools bottom fill, big build deck, juice dams at the airholes, access to deck without emptying tank, etc., etc. But to me, it's just awful ugly lol. I still might buy another one.

Could you fit a .7 ohm (2x1.4) 28awg build in it?
Second that. Imo the Billow 2 outperforms the Goblin 2 and the Cthulhu.
Easily! I have a .6 dual 26AWG, 2.5mm ID around 7 wraps a piece. I think 2.5mm is your max for ID though.
