I just hope one of them stocks the copper Nemesis soon. They'll win my undying love.

Actually, with both the Kraken and the Caravela, these are the largest supply of extra's that I ever received with an item. With the Kraken, they give you a drip tip, enough mesh for at least 4 wicks, approx 2-3ft of Kanthal (unlike the usual 6 in strip), and 2-3ft of silica, also unlike the usual 6 in strip ... if you look closely at the pics of extra baggies you can see the difference in quantity ... hell, compare it to fasttech's Kraken supplies, and there version of the 18350 Caravela, which doesn't come with any extra's at all. Every Mod should really come with extra, and varying length firing pins.
mine will be here fri.
really wish i snagged a fogger instead of another taifun clone, the first one finally broke and expect the same crap from the FC version as well (glad I own a real one).

How did it break? I also wanted a Taifun GT, I like how easy the filling is, like a giant Evod
... Which Fogger did you want V2 or 3? Just got the V3 but I don't have a Mod big enough to fit it @23.6mm, which would be like the RBA equivalent of love handles on a 22mm Mod 
Oh man I have a taifun coming from FC, just picked it up on a whim, just started using the kayfun lite and love it so thought it would be a good addition. Hope it will be decent quality
I've ordered from both but my Focal order almost took 1 1/2 months to get to me where as I've ordered tons of stuff from FT and almost all my orders have shipped out the next day or 2 days later (unless otherwise noted on the items page) and then I have received most at the latest within 3 weeks, sometimes earlier.
I don't think I will be ordering from Focal anytime soon.

Just got my Kraken set up tonight, and my oh my, this pairing ( w/Caravela) is sexy as hell! No joke, its like the finest of tailored suits. Spent much too long working on a dual coil build which never came together for me. I couldn't get both leads fixed to the positive post ... I mean I did, but one coil was glowing, while the other one looked like it was half dead. Re did the build like five times = EPIC FAIL.
Went back to a single coil build, identical to my AGI @ 1.5 ohms and finally Nikki is chillin
... will revisit dual coils at a later date.
Also didn't realize that Focalecig's Kraken had a threaded sleeve, I assumed it was press fit like the original. Just found out from another member that the Tobeco Kraken clone is also threaded, which mean's that FT's version is for sure not a Tobecco because theirs is also press fit. It was nice to not have to worry about internal shorts with the one from Focal.

You can't blame Focal for the Post taking a month and a half ... you should go read through ALL of FT's thread, they have PLENTY of customers who waited so long, it would make 1 1/2 months seem fast. This can happen with any overseas company, its just the nature of the beast.
Danimal40 is still waiting on his Fasttech shipment from October ... just sayin.
yes I do but it was returned after 2 months and resent thru SG

but the bottle is drifting over the sea now. Hopefully it clears Australia's coast and drifts up the eastern coast by spring
Yea I heard about the bad FT shipping problems just glad Ive never had a problem myself.
The problem wasn't the shipping itself, it sat at "receiving product" limbo for a month, took 2 weeks from the time the tracking # started to work to get to the east coast, the shipping part was fine. The site said "ships within 3-5 business days" but didn't. That's the part I had a problem with. If you don't have a product, don't tell me it ships within a certain time frame.

Prey tel, what broke on the TGT? I was a little disappointed to miss out on a real one with a steel tank for less than half RRP. Curiously the TGT seems better made than the various Kayfun clones i've received in the past few weeks.
So a fogger? Seems a bit big but if its a killer vape? What 23-24mm Mods are there?

I understand how you feel, and sorry that was your experience with them, but the majority of those who have ordered with Focalecig recently have all had their orders ship out within the time frame specified, including my own.
Not to make excuses for them, but try to remember that this is the internet, and vendors cannot control how many hits/purchase they receive for a product at any given time. If they have 100 pieces in stock, but they receive 120 orders, there is going to be a restocking period .. this also happens with FT all the time, and of course no one likes it .. but it happens, and to US vendors as well.
I used to own and operate my own online webstore (not ecig related), and I had customers from all over the world, and it does happen where X amount of buyers are all checking out on the same item, at the same time, and I would end up over sold. I wasn't cheating anyone, or being misleading, I just couldn't control the demand for a certain product at any given time. It didn't happen a lot, but it did happen.
Yeah, I wanna hear more about the Taifun GT clone too ... I have heard nothing but good things about it, so I am curious as to how it broke ... And there are a few 23-24mm Mods out there .. The Astro is 23 or 23.5, Chi You is 24/25, King Mod is 23/24.
I would like the Astro if I was going to pair something with the Fogger V3 ... but I like the one that Focalecig has with the polished silver top and bottoms caps. I am sure that there are even more 23/24mm Mods than I have named.
Thanks to you guys I thought I would give Focal another try. So I ordered a Pulse G today. I was going to get another Vela so I can see how it compared to the one FT sells but they bumped the price from $14 to $21.
Yes, I noticed the increase in price as well, but in all honesty it was under priced to begin with. While I was waiting for my precious Caravela to arrive, I searched US vendors for the EHpro Caravela, and I only found one who was selling the 18350 (most others are selling the 18650 tube only) and that one vendor was charging $50 for it.
When I got it, I felt like I stole something ... it is a very good quality mod. Its almost double the weight of the FT version, and with the brass contacts, and brass top and bottom caps this thing hits so hard ... maybe even too hard for me honestly.
Here is a little video snippet of it set up with Focalecig's Kraken clone
THAT IS HUGE! But I like the body styling of it At $139 I hope you're buying the big and nasty is 23mm at the top with 26650 battery.
Sorry to hear that. For me anyway...lol After Doris gave me some crap about my order I ended up buying the 3pc mixed vela from FT.
If you have the FT vela can you tell me if the parts are interchangeable?
