Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[Corpse]

OK, remember what I said about careful what you wish for? Here's a couple or three questions;
That Kraken I asked you about, there are two on FC 19244 & 19353, any advice on which might be better?

I need to get some wire for the Kraken and I'll be getting a dripper soon, what gauge/s should I buy to play with? I have a roll of 32 I bought from Temco off Amazon for my clearomizers, I'll buy more from them because it's such a deal but not sure what to get?

The Vamo V5 I have coming, I have no idea what 18650 battery to get or what a reasonable price would be. I have seen some say the Sony vtc5 is the best? Should it be a flat top battery?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I find that 28awg is more versatile and will cover almost every need.
As for batteries, you can go with VTC4 or VTC5, they're both great. For the Vamo, both flat and button top batteries will fit.

Its all good, I got you ... The Kraken, the difference between the two is a parts package, so I would go with the more expensive one. I have a SS Kraken made by this same manufacturer and one of the things that I liked was the generous supplies that came with it .. I still haven't used all the ss mesh, and I bought it 6 months ago.

You should choose your wire gauge based on the resistance result you want from your build. Higher gauge = higher resistance, lower gauge =lower resistance.

If you are a planning on running it in dual coil, I would use the 32 gauge because its thinner, and easier to capture both coil leads on the positive post. If I had one criticism for this particular Kraken it would be the washer on the positive post. I found it very difficult to get a good dual coil build with 30 gauge, had more success with 32.

But I also prefer the Kraken in single coil mode any ways ... the Kraken is a great RBA, flavor w/ss mesh is stellar, and vapor production is second to none. The air flow control is the best on the Kraken.

Battery: Sure a Sony is fine if you choose, but that is a lot of unnecessary power for a regulated device that will never use even half of the batteries current capacity. But again, there is nothing wrong with using a Sony VTc5. Any quality IMR 18650 will due, and Sony is not the only good 650 battery out there. There is AW, Samsung INR, Panasonic, some Sanyo's and LG's.

Being that you are buying for a regulated device with a limited output of 5A, any of those that I named above will suffice. Hope this helps ya!

ETA: whoops .. I lied .. the difference between those two Krakens is the manufacturer .. the parts packages are similar, but I am more familiar with the manufacturer of the $18 Kraken .. I have no idea who makes the other, or how the quality would be

The Sony is overkill for the Vamo, but when he takes the next step (mechanical) he won't need to buy new batteries. [emoji6]

How could I? I'm a gentleman! [emoji145] I don't discuss nipples in public. [emoji6]

Of course you are gentleman, that is why you are safe, and fun to play with because you know where the boundaries are ;-) .. But for the record, we were talking about nipple top batteries ... err for the most part

This is true .. When I got my first Vamo way back when, I bought Samsung INR-15M with a 25A limit .. and as you said when it was time to move into mechanicals, I already had great batteries. Its funny because I was actually supposed to get Sony USv3 batteries with the Vamo, but FT stiffed me, so I had to find something else.

ETA: and Corpse .. I am so over this "ships passing in the night" thing you got going on! We need to work your schedule mister!

 

[The.Drifter]

Wow that thing is insane!!! Well done buddy id like to get one from you also!!!
How much loot we talking?

Its possible, PM me so we can discuss the details

 

[Kaiser Bob]

Yes, you are ... the switch is activated by the force of opposing magnet, and the magnetic delrin spacer attached to the battery will not allow it to fire simply because you turn it upside down .. so you're good. Its funny that you ask this because I have actually had my 4nine upside down for the last hour or so to keep my wicks from over saturating.

Try it, you'll see

Aha glad it was me because I was thinking this was the worst designed mod in history! Using it today with my Helios, long positive pin so my flat top works fine. Button is a little janky compared to paps for example but it's pretty nice and the price was right!

The 4nine is not the smoothest switch in world, that is why setting it up to achieve the shortest throw possible is beneficial .. but it's tricky as well, because a lot of atties don't have adjustable 510's, and they all vary in length. At this point I only use my KFL with the SS 4nine, it helps create a really small throw, so I get no grinding or jankiness .. my Kraken works fairly well with it, but because the pin is not as long as my KFL, the switch is a little janky like you said.

So the 4nine is a special mod with special considerations I like the thick sturdy tubes, and how it feels in the hand ... in 500 mode, I can't do 350

I know ... its just that ... well, I'm demanding

Are you five hours behind, or ahead of us? Its 2:30pm in NY ....

 

[Corpse]

5h ahead. 7h35 here, so soon I'll be off to bed, as I'm working morning tomorrow. And I hate it!

Yeah, me too, you need to move I hope you have a good nights rest dear, and I guess I will catch on the next ship passing ;-)

And you owe us some updated feedback on your recent vapemail .. Wanna hear thoughts positive, and negative, especially on the Panzer.

Don't even mention it. I would move to that side of the ocean in a heart beat if I had a sure job. For now I have to weather the storm. [emoji12]

Nikki the squape came this morning, it is not the winsmoke version

I built it using your squape review in your blog and it is vaping really well, no dry hits or leaking, quite surprised how much vaper it is chucking out, the only problem, this version I have, it is a real PITA to fill up, I can't even get a needle down between the side of the tank and the chimney, only way I can fill it, is to loosen the chimney so can move it slightly to the side to get a needle down to fill it, do get a bit of flooding, but at least can fill it.

This thing is really tall, and still reminds me of a lighthouse, but does vape good though

FC still not shipped my taifun and fogger yet But did also get a fogger from ebay too, so can put the KF's up, got to say, even though the fogger is dual coil, really don't notice a big difference on vape experience between the 2, but the squape is easier to build though, just a shame my version is a pain to fill.

Well then I hope that happens for you one day ... desires that benefit us were meant to be fulfilled. ;-)

Aw .. this sounds like good, and slightly disappointing news. But I am happy to hear that it sounds like you got one with good air flow though. .. if you are experience any flooding, or gurgling it just means that you need more wick, and to bring them down further into the juice channels.

I haven't tried the new Fogger V4, but I wasn't all that impressed with the prior versions, especially after I got a Taifun. The Fogger V3 was decent, but I felt that Taifun's and Kayfun's were better. I personally find dual coils to be way overrated, I don't get anything extra out of them. I have done dual coils on Gennies, and drippers, and meh .. nothing to rave about IMHO.

Keep me updated on how your lighthouse is performing ... lighthouse, I tell ya!

ETA: for your Squape, you may just need a thinner syringe gauge. I also bottle fill mine by tilting it to the side almost horizontal, and slowly let the juice seep into the sides .. its takes longer because you have to be steady, and careful, but it works!

@Nailz ... Doris just told me about a minor issue with missing 510 screws on the Foggers, but also that they have worked it out with the supplier, and they are expecting a new batch of Foggers with the 510 pin installed, so this may be holding up your shipment. It was just this past Thursday that she told me about it.

If your order hits 6 days since purchase, pm me your paypal addy and order# and I will look into for you, and get Doris to get it shipped out ASAP, K
