I would...LOL but I don't think I have the smarts to put everything together. :D

It's not hard..The only thing i would have an advantage is i have some soldering experience back from schooling and some with the dremel when i did my own rba.. There are flux paste and such to ease with the soldering part as well.

All you need is to have a clear plan of how things would be cut and fitted in, test the circuit and everything before proceeding further to make sure they work, have patience in building in and not rush thru things.

I did see your update, and thank your for taking the time to work on this for us. I just wanted to update that it actually had shipped. My order page didn't show it until an hour ago.

Will PM you my addy. Will also look for the shipping process.

Have to go check on my mare who may be foaling shortly.

Does this mean that there are baby horses being born?? I love baby animals so much, they are so beautiful! ... Aww, wish I was there. :)

Sometime soon hopefully. She's due anytime, but is likely going to wait until I'm gone at a horse show next weekend, cheeky bugger that she is.

As I promised, here is my new beauty!

N8eXpIe.jpg


I love it so far and the flavor is amazing. I switched out the drip tip to my Fogger V2's and it is much better and looks great!

On the downside, when I was taking apart the switch in my Nemesis to clean it, one of the magnets had a piece chip off and now the switch is kinda crunchy every now and again so I ordered some more.

I also placed another order with Focal for the Omega and the Aerotank base. Does anyone have any experience with either of those two items? I know that the Omega was recently added in the past week but if you do, let me know if it is a quality purchase. Either way for $7 it wasn't worth passing up.

Awesome PhatRon! I don't think I have to tell you how sexy your set up looks ... you know it does. :laugh:

From what I hear, the Omega is a nice atty ... some folks had complained (before buying) that the air holes were not positioned on an angle, like the original, but rather it is directly in front of the positive post ..

However, being that the air holes are large and still in front of the coils, it does not diminish the vaping experience in any way. All reports that I have read from actual buyers, were all positive. I love the way the Omega looks, and if I were gonna buy a dripper today, the Omega is the one I would get.... well, at least one of the one's :D

Your girls don't look nearly as enthused about it as you do ;)

By to the way, thanks for the Phil video, makes me think twice about the 3d. You might have saved me about $40

:laugh: ... Does anyone seem nearly as enthused as I do? ... I mean, I should get an infarction for the excessive use of the banana man emoticon :banana: .. :lol:

So true about the "original" 3D ... And based on the review, if someone is going to get it, I would say their money is definitely better spent on the clone, being that the original has its flaws.

I wish FC started to stuck up IMR batteries both types flat top/button top. I just look up local prices and its hell of rip off. One 18350 almost $7 after tax. FT - takes forever, i'm still waiting on my batteries from February 10 (just to wrap them took 19 days + shipping time). I did some research and summed IMR are most safe (kids) and they are still not in FC inventory hmmm...

Some months ago when FT shipments were being held up at HKP it was due to batteries. Many of those shipments were sent back to FT.
Wonder if FC is dealing with something similar. Nikki might be able to check with Doris to see if it's an inventory issue or customs issue that would prevent them from stocking batteries.

Recently FC send me a pair of Sony VTC4 thru registered article..

And from a chat with Doris(FC) and Healthcabin, it seems like batteries cannot be send by DHL/SMS/Speedpost.. They make some changes to their policy recently(Not custom issue i believe) but no issue going thru regular Registered Article..Rem a similar issue occurred probably around 2 years back with batteries in mails..

Aaaaaaand... Vela set has taken off, as expected.
Now the waiting game begins.
Caravela, Aqua and taifun GT on the way.
I'll just count to 1000000000000000000000000000000. ;)

That is a sweet lil line of goodies :) ... The Taifun and this Vela go very well together, vaping on this pair right now ... Tip: get flat top batteries, it will make your relationship with the Caravela set more pleasant. ;-)

Well I chose not to get the foggatti right now, instead I bought a bunch of flavorings after I picked out a few recipes to try for DIY. I spend around 50-100 a month on liquid, so this should free up some money to buy more mods and tanks XD

Well DIY is a good choice IMO ... I have been DIY almost the entire time I have been vaping. I just couldn't see spending so much money on pre-made juice ... I need that money for vape gear :laugh: If you choose correctly with your flavoring choices, $50 worth of DIY should last you a couple of months.

Ordered 2 Aerotank valves for $3.51 each using the FOCALECIGVAPEATRON15 coupon code for 15% off. Tried adding an IGO-W4 atomizer but that code didn't work on it, so I removed it -- I guess it only works on specific items. But cheaper than FT is fine with me.

I don't recall having to input my phone number the only other time I ordered from FEC for the default free shipping option, but in case anyone else is worried about getting spam calls (I've had a few recently), there is one free shipping option that doesn't require a phone number, so I chose that one... sorry that I can't recall which, but just click through the separate options to find it.

*dance* Vape mail. So i got FT itaste svd (first thinking, gosh it's pretty huge Ohm meter) Getting ready to build my first coils and will give a try to Prometheus Style Rebuildable Electronic Cigarette Atomizer-Silver(3.0mL).
Did look for video on youtube for itaste got on those guys Itaste SVD - YouTube... waisted 30 min of my life and i can't understand what they say(((
Finally found manual for this svd. This is such great thing just too too big for running around.

Question for an expert. It's talks everywhere about high V/W but if i turn my kick or settings on svd up e-juice taste nothing but burnt. What costing this? I found same result on Ego as well going over 4V with 1.8 Ohm coil. I get the Ohm law, but ppl vape sub-ohm on crazy V/W, how they do not burn there's juices? Thank you for any support

No Idea, I vape 5.5 to 6 watts on a 1.7 Ω carto, would be burnt higher. No Idea how someone could enjoy .5 Ω at 10 watts + :facepalm:

I vape to NOT smoke, so I just don't understand it.

Vape On
