Oh really your first?! :) .. Well then that only adds to the anticipation doesn't it? I hope its a good one, its Tobecco so it should be good, that is a popular version of the kayfun Lite clones.

If you run into troubles with your first build, you can come here for help and support as there are a few kayfun devotees here. :)
Yep. Very first one. Ive been rebuilding Protank/Evod coils for what seems like forever. Im ready for the bigger platform to build on and the bigger liquid capacity.

So I got my tax return recently and went a little nuts. I got to claim my son (I switch off with his mom) so it pretty much doubled my return. I've got a fogger v4, black Kayfun and black Nzonic, Kraken, an Aerotank Mega, and a "Stinger" mod. All from US suppliers since I didn't want to wait, but still... Crazy fun vape mail on its way.

Yeah, every now again you have to get a few in from a US supplier, we all need that .. Dayum, you weren't playing around eh? I would like to hear how the Kayfun Black is when you get it. I am so curious about how that coating plays out, especially on the deck and chimney.

And I didn't realize that the Aerotank Mega had made it into stores already .. I watched PBusardo's review for it and it was very favorable, so the Aero Mega looks like a winner.

How much was the Fogger V4?? FT is selling it for 32 bucks which is crazy because I had heard it was going for about $35 in the US ..

The fogger (and most of my order) was from Eciggity and they had it for $32. They're actually quite cheap since they're in Hawaii so I think they get stuff from China pretty easily. It takes an extra day that way but it's still not bad. The aero is only out at VaporBeast from what I could find. May be a preorder since it hasn't shipped just yet. I'll update you on the black Kayfun. Had to get something to match the Nzonic, lol.

EDIT: it shipped, so it looks like VaporBeast does have them in stock. They look amazing so I'm really eager for it. The Stinger mod I got from them, too, was awesome looking. I love scorpions of course so I had to get a mod with engravings of scorpions on it. :)

Oh girlfriend, if you can rebuild a PT/Evod, then you will have no problems with a Kayfun, its actually easier .. the trick will be the right wick type for your tastes, and juice, the right amount of wick for the same, and filling it properly.

I recently decided to try some ecowool in my KFL, and it was NO BUENO ... I have the solid braided ecowool, and the wicking was way too slow with my very thick e liquids, which it too bad because I like the way ecowool holds up over time. But I had to continually primer puff before taking a hit in order to avoid the dreaded dry hit.

Cotton on the other hand works great in the Kayfun's, as does silica .. and both play nicely regardless of the viscosity of the e liquid, as long as you use the right amount of wick.

I can't believe FT hasn't lowered the price on the Fogger V4, but a lot people assume because its FT that the price will be better ... but in this case, obviously not.

I used to buy from Vaporbeast last year, I like that he offer free shipping, and my orders would arrive in two days from Cali ...

I still wanna get the Aqua, Origin, and stainless Stingray from FC, but I may miss this sale ... my piggy bank doesn't open until next week :laugh:

The Aerotank apparently did ship today so they must have it in stock.

A side note, I hated the way the telescopes tube looked on my MarsTech KK. However, I have an extension tube from my hammer that fit perfectly between the base and the button and it looks a lot cleaner.

The fogger manufacturer doesn't allow stores to lower the prices. That's why the price is basically the same everywhere.

Agreed, that is why I like the QQ over the KK ... but that was genius what you did! :2cool: ... And I am drooling over that Aqua, so it is a must that I have it, and I can't torture myself anymore!

I know all about Yiloong and their ways :rolleyes: ... that is why I can't stand Yiloong as a manufacturer, they are delusional IMO. The quality of their devices are too inconsistent for them to be making any demands on pricing. The Fogger is great as long as you get one with the air holes completed drilled out, a chimney shaft that is properly threaded so your top cap doesn't sit .... eyed, and a glass tank that doesn't leak because the machining of the entire device is off, so the seal doesn't take. :blink:

I would have thought that FT would use their old "price control" coupon like they did with the Slimzy that never took off in sales ... :glare:

Pretty typical from China. I got an IGO-L today from FT that never showed any tracking info.

It only took 8 days though.
usually I never get anything from USPS or Canada Post until it's in the country but, "usually" after a couple days it shows up on 17track. not the case yet from focal...

this is what 17track is stating.

"2014-04-30 00:00, Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article)"

Somewhere out there
Yeah, mine land in Chicago. What's funny is where they go afterward. I've had them go to Ohio (where I live), Montana, and the latest one has gone to Michigan first. I don't know if they always go through all those places and just don't always get scanned or if it's just some kind of roulette of randomness, lol.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Mine tend to go to Wisconsin and Missouri or they get passed around every local Chicago/Suburban sorting center before being sent to the correct (Chicago Suburb) PO.

Thank you. I have been switching off on all my devices today trying them out and I really like the KK set up this way. The Aqua is awesome, though. Totally worth it, but it is a bit of a pain to coil. Had to watch a tutorial to get it right.

Really? You find the Taifun a pain?? .. I guess its like you said, you gotta find your way with it. What is the liquid capacity on the Aqua? I don't mind less juice capacity, as long as the device is not a pain to refill.

I'm not sure, but looks like i have an issue with Taifun. I use it mostly with SVD, recoiled it from 0.7-2.5Ohm. But... but... SVD shots off every other time what doesn't happen with other atomizers. And as far as both are china clone it can come from either of them, just keep testing. I'm not an expert on any kind off shorting problems, i did check resistance 100 times and it shows about the same every time. aaa not sure what to do with it.

Edit: looks like i fixed it. Pin on Taifun was screwed in too much and didn't make good connection. It works great now.

So are you saying that your Maraxus shipped already, you have the tracking #, and when you check tracking it says "shipment is being prepared"? .. If this is correct, then yes, that is quite unusual. What shipping method did you choose, because Epackets don't usually show that kind of status. They go from acceptance, to "processed through sort facility", and then its off to the planes.

Did you use Hong Kong Post or Singapore?? ..
FC does't use HK post anymore, only Singapore or Swiss or whatever

Wow .. had no idea that the capacity was that small :unsure: I thought it was in the 3ml range .. oh well, when I finally order it I am sure that I will make due. But jeez, with dual coils that thing must burn through eliquid rather quickly no?

It is very small with duel coil it's empty in no time, it's very tasty, very very tasty, I love it. Funny so. If i pair it with anything what is not Origin it doesn't hit hard it all, it takes i second to hit it up but with Origin it works like charm. And at the same time other atomizer work the same.Well they made for each other.
