Say WHAT? :ohmy: .. Nelson :cry: How dare you get it before me, I thought we were "in longing" for the Stingray X together? :cry:

Well, you had better give me some porn when you get it! :laugh: That is of course if Doris doesn't make it appear this week.
I couldn't help myself Nik. i'm weak hahaha. i'm really hoping FC gets in a better version before FT ships my order...

I need to mix a higher PG juice, using 50/50 now and not wicking good. They are for show/collecting anyway, so they won't get much use. Wish they made a carto tank in wood, then I would be in heaven. :nun:

Vape On

:vapor:

Agreed! When I was still using replacement head style atties, they didn't play nice with my thicker eliquids, so I tried to stay with a max ratio of 40% VG, but 30% was better.

Well, they are definitely conversation pieces, and I think they are kinda primal looking, and I like that *growl* :laugh:

Oh my darling Darth Vaper, I am so happy that you had a good vape mail day! :banana:

I did notice that FC's fogger listing also had the steel tank, in addition to the glass one, so I think that makes it a really good value, especially considering it is cheaper than any of the versions that FT is selling.

So now this Taifun, is this the cheaper one? Because it didn't come in the cloned Hcigar box, but the body of it looks just as good though. Not sure if the steel tank at FT will fit your version, but for $5 you may want to consider it.

And the Lighthouse ... well, seeing as how you didn't get MY LIGHTHOUSE, I cannot take offense to you placing it third in line :p But I am so happy that you have got three really good atties to replace your Kayfuns. :banana:

Warning, large post :D

So got vapemail today from FC, fogger v4 and the taifun.

Nicely boxed

Opening of boxes, the extras are under the fogger in the box

Out of the boxes with extras shown

So after a hour bath with denture cleaner, both have been built and juiced up, each on the turtle ship v2 that came from FC, also the stainless/black drip tip came from FC, like the drip tip so much, have another one coming :)

Fogger

Taifun

So my review on them -

The fogger is a more tricky device to build on, due to being dual coil setup, but I do already have the 'newest' fogger, so am a little use to building on it, am I disappointed by the fogger due to already having the newest fogger? Not at all, it holds just as much juice, and the only real difference is the air control, on the newest version is a thread ring, on the FC it is not, but as I always have my air flow wide open, I just took the air control ring off, and actually the fogger from FC has bigger air holes, so the air flow is better, also one really big plus towards the fogger from FC, it also comes with the metal section, so can swap out the glass section for the metal section, I doubt I will use the metal section, as like to see my juice level, but still nice to have that extra option and a backup if the glass did get broken, being dual coil, the flavor and vapor is awesome, I did micro coils coming out at 0.5ohms with organic cotton, my score for the fogger 9/10

The taifun has actually surprised me, with the fogger being dual I didn't think the taifun could preform as good as the fogger, but I was wrong, even though only single coil at 1ohm, it still chucks out the vapor and flavor is really good, this is my 1st time owning a taifun, but it was easy to build and wick on, I did removed the air flow pin on the deck to have more air flow, and as said, it does chuck out the vapor, the extras was good, with a mini screw driver, spare orings, extra air flow tube and a little juice bottle, my only complaint with the taifun, is it having a plastic tank section, so are limited on what juice you can use with it, and just for the fact the fogger does win on scoring 7/10

Thank you to nikki for her suggestion on the taifun, she was not lying, it is a really good topper, I am using 3 different rebuildable tanks now, and in rating order, fogger is 1st (due to glass tank) taifun, and sorry nikki, but the lighthouse squape comes in last.

More vapemail expected from FC soon :D

This why I switched over to Focal, got fed up with everything always going to restocking with FT, and also the customer service seems to be a lot better with Focal too, not placed any orders with FT since I started using Focal and I doubt I will, unless it is something I REALLY want and focal doesn't get it.

At the moment FT is my "accessories vendor" .. they have an awesome selection of drip tips, RBA related extras and such, so that is mostly what I use them for, unless like you said, they have something major that I want, and FC doesn't have it.

    No it was the $28 one, I wanted to go for the best one listed, I was surprised it didn't come in a Hcigar box, maybe they changed supplier, but I am still happy with it, been vaping with it all evening, and no leaking at all and no dry hits, and with me taking out the air pin from the deck, it is clouding up really good :D

    Pft think I'll pass on the metal tank if got to get it from the other place, I'll just be careful what juice I put in it ;)

    Yeah, I think they definitely changed suppliers, but it looks mint, and it vapes great, so that is all that really matters ... You feeling sexy tonight with your new gear? It sure looks sexy :laugh:

    I'm so happy. Vape mail showed up. But can't dive down and touch it yet.

    I went ahead and just built coils for cloud chasing. Drilled out most of the RDA's I don't use. Did that staggered 2 hole step style.

    Oh you got vape mail too you spoiled man you! :p How are you feeling today Weez? Sounds like you still have to take it easy ...

    I don't know about feeling sexy, but feeling manly with the taifun being so big, I like how big it is and looks good on the turtle ship, as both being 23mm width :)

    Is it possible to receive an email from focalecig.com notifying when a product will be back in stock?

    Its funny that you ask that because this is exactly how I met Doris .. email sales@focalecig.com and ask about restocking dates. I don't believe that they can automatically generate an email status, but Doris will certainly give you a good idea as to when you can expect the item to be back in stock.

    Aha, big and manly you say? :D Watch out, you may turn into a 23mm addict like me .. I have cooled down, and now I accept my 22mm devices with love, but for a moment there I didn't want anything if it wasn't 23mm to match my beloved Taifun's ... which are so neglected right now since I got the Squape, and KFL V2 :laugh:

    Pfft, I am so over your stubborn attitude! And who are you kidding, you already like it. :glare: ... be sure to post feedback about your KFL too.
    Oh please, you like my stubborn streak. You enjoy the challenge when a temptee doesn't fall for Plan A and you have to get creative :sneaky:
