Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[db13berry]

Ive finally been able to keep this thing going long enough to break in the coil. Love that crackle! Man I hope I can recreate this same wicking when that time comes. Not a single drop leaked!

Woohoo! Now I want another!

Not sure where you got the impression that FC doesn't know what they are selling, most especially since you admittedly did not read through this thread.

You can click on the blog links in my signature for more detailed information about placing an order with Focalecig, which is a recommended read.

I just meant that it seems that way because of all the plethora of other things they sell. I've never talked directly with customer service or anything.

I just bought the nautilus they are selling here for $18. I guess these are clones. Has anyone got one off them yet?

It just came out so it hasn't had time to reach anyone. Since it doesn't specify it's authentic, I'm gonna say for sure it's not.

Sometimes shipments move very quickly, and of course I love it when that happens ... Can't wait to hear how the black Turtle Ship is.

Focal was quick. My order will be here in the morning. Ship has arrived into port. Pics and review tomorrow.

any word if FC is going to get the Fogger V4? I got one yesterday and its a BEAST! it's like having a dripper with a glass tank dual 30G @ 1.0 ohm and it chucks it surprisingly well for a non sub ohm build!

if you like the Kayfun, Taifun or Squape you'll love the V4, build quality is pretty decent also. can't put the damn thing down highly recommended.

I actually thought they would have had it by now also however, Yiloong is not the easiest manufacturer to work with, so maybe FC couldn't meet their "conditions" for supply?

As far as the Kayfun not sitting flush, the problem is both devices. For one, you have a longer 510 connection on the Kayfun, and pin's like these need a Mod/APV with either a spring loaded or floating pin, something more commonly found on mechs, and newer model VV APV ... I like the Zmax, but due to design of the top cap, and 510 on it, I don't see how many things could ever sit completely flush on it.

Sounds like you need a new mechanical with a good adjustable 510 in the top cap. If you are really attached to VV/VW, you could always get a Kick to regulate the mechs power output.

Ok I got my shipment today. For the record, I ordered on April 26th, it was shipped April 30th, and arrived May 7th. Pretty good.

My item was a KFL+ clone, sku 18286 I believe. As you can see, it did not arrive with a SS tank, just the clear. Unfortunately one of the O-rings arrived busted (just held together by the fact that it was already assembled in box). Thankfully they had spare O-rings, and I have read you can get quality ones at Home Depot for mega-cheap.

The plastic tank doesn't sit flush with the top metal band that it screws into, in one of the pictures I have an arrow pointing to what I'm talking about. This doesn't really bother me though.

Threading is nice, not buttery but functional. I used the fill screw on the bottom which is sealed with an oring on the screw, and it hasn't leaked all day. It's wicking just fine using cotton. I built a 1.3 ohm parallel wrapped 32g, using I think 7 wraps of the paralleled wire. It's hitting nice at about 11 watts, but it doesn't seem to matter too much what wattage I use.

I used a nail buffer to take the rough finish off the drip tip (still finished in pic) as I didn't like the texture to my lips, but it still looks dull like the rest of the atty.

It does have a distinct loudness to the draw, which is airy enough for me with the adjustment screw out. With the screw in, it can whistle with a hard pull. No complaints there: I can just leave the screw out.

My biggest complaint is the atty sits REALLY unflush with my Zmax. The 2nd to last pic show just how unflush I mean, like 3.5mm worth of empty space. I also took a pic of the 510 connection, which extends about 1mm from the threading. I don't know if the issue is my Zmax or my KFL+

The screws on the posts are abysmally small as well, so I'll have to look into how to replace those.

Being my first atty, I figured I'd be harsh. That being said, I like it alot, but for the basic reasons: it vapes well, it seems solid enough, and it doesn't leak. It looks nice, but sitting so unflush is definitely a negative.

Awesome, glad to hear it! I hope that you can continually duplicate this build now that you've got it working for you.

Use a flattop battery and it might be able to come down a bit if the 510 pin is adjustable.

I don't know anything about them and I do not think I am going to buy one but the Fogger V3 on the promotion page is down to 6 units left.

edit-sold out.

****** NEW ARRIVALS ******


I just checked out the new arrivals at FC and they have good amount of new goodies...

There is a all brass Hades 26650 clone, Black Kayfun Lite plus, GP PAPS 18350 clone (for true Paps fans), Nzonic clone, and the Cronus clone ... all in all a nice line up of new additions.

ETA: The Black Kayfun Lite comes with a full size PMMA M tank, in addition to the standard, which is awesome for the price, not mention I think that would look really slick with the black top cap and base.

The GP PAPS clone looks very nicely machined ... smooth clean lines.

The Nzonic also looks good, and this is another 23mm mech option for you Taifun GT lovers. And don't forget the magnetic switch



Shop happy, vape on

Some days I kinda want a black mod/kayfun because I wear so much black but I'm not sold on the idea of something being only compatible (in my mind) with one thing. I need to see more black combos to decide.

I got my FC Turtle yesterday. I will try to get pics tonight.

I was initially very anti black devices ... but I kinda like the black Turtle Ship and black SR with silver accents. I still don't like the full black body on the KFL, but I think I might like it better using the full PMMA tank.

 

[Corpse]

Oh man, the black nzonic could be near right?
That will bring great decision making... Black nzonic or black turtle ship?

 

[Tooth Tamer]

Ughh ive been wanting to get a paps 350 but i like the other button....

Ahahaha ... skype Doris and ask her to get the black Nzonic ... I personally like the black Turtle better because of the silver accents, I think I could work with that.

Envision this .... Taifun with Black PMMA tank, and the Black Turtle Ship ... that is what I am thinking

Agreed .. I was hoping for a 350 Paps with the CNC logo but ... the machining on the one that FC just put up looks fantastic. There are a couple of pics where its laying vertical and you can really see the machining on the body, and I think it looks so smooth, and nice.

yea most def sexy smooth but that button holds it back!!!!!

 

[Skorpeyon]

I have a black Kayfun on my Nzonic. They're not the same diameter but I still think it looks really sharp.

Ok I need to stop. Placed an order for TaiFun and Fogger V4, Black Copper Stingray, Black Chi You, and more drippers.
