    Does the center pin on your's screw in all the way Nailz? Mine won't screw in past the 510 so I just use it without a screw. Fogger V4 on left kayfun on right.

    Mine screws flush with the 510 connection, it's been no problem for me, and hadn't even touched it till I saw your post and tried it.

    Just tried ordering again. Coupon code didn't work. Are they supposed to? As in are some recently expired? Also will they be bringing back the wishlist feature? I liked being able to collect things I might want to get at a later date.

    When on the product, there is a button saying, 'add to temp cart', that is what I use for my wishlist, can access it from your account once go things added.

    I believe coupons are not active for the USA warehouse.

    Going for separation now, so things got a bit stressful and pretty dirty here, so sorry, forum was a not a first place for me to go. But now im back hopefully. Missed you all.


    this one doesn't work, or it just doesn't work for ivogo mini kfl... not sure

    Sorry to hear Laylel, things I believe will get better. Missed you too.

    I got one mini kfl from that other company, and i got two from FC, haven't even tried the ones from FC yet. But awful so on the other one -so far I just dont like the mini KFL.

    Glad to hear you got a Kitty. My persian cat in old avatar? He is a mean cat, if someone broke into my apartment he would attack them. Some days hes happy some cranky.
    He used to crawl up 8 feet on the top of the cupboards and dive bomb down. but today he is too fat too crawl there so he doesnt try anymore.

    I am caught up on some of the gab around here, this thread and others, cept for some peoples "probable dreams" but then I am not Sigmund Freud either.

    I asked Doris about all this stuff, and she confirmed that the coupon code does not work on certain products as their is an exception for them. Which coupon code are you trying to use btw?

    For the wish list, try using the "add to temporary cart list" which is at the top right of the product details ... The SXK Stingray X is listed in the US Warehouse, and there are only 13 left.

    Aren't they prone to shorts too, when the pin isn't long enough? I would think that, with the +/- connections so close together and right on the battery like that, you'd want all the leeway you could possibly get, just to play it safe. Alternatively, you can use the separately-available upgraded topcap with the 510 connection, right (just wouldn't be hybrid anymore)?

    I hear about these things severely shocking people and I bet that's what's happening. The hit gets a little skewed and, because there isn't any leeway, the battery ends up touching both the pin and the threads (the threads aren't supposed to touch the battery). Then they warn other people about how unsafe the mod is. :facepalm: Maybe it's a safety feature that they built into the mod, requiring that the pin be long enough for the switch to work right. :2c:

    Yes it is, especially if not used properly. The 4nine is an advanced user device that is not for every boday. It is very particular as there are many devices that cannot/should not be used with it. I am ok with having a limited # of atties to use with mine because I knew this going in.

    The upgraded top cap with the 510 positive contact does remedy the limitation of the device, but you are correct, it is no longer a true hybrid, but rather a hybrid look.

    Stingray X up on USA warehouse..

    Yes ... The SXK Stingray X is listed in the USA warehouse for $35.99, and right now there are only 12 remaining however, I am sure that FC has already ordered restock for it. I wanted to post pics from FC's website here, because IT LOOKS AMAZING, but Doris put the smack down on the photos, and I can't right click them. :laugh:

    OMG, its a good day in my world, this is the one mod that I MUST HAVE in 2014, and I got it! :banana:

    Oh Nailz, for me? :wub: I love it! And that set up looks really good too my friend, I like it. I kind of feel like the steampunked Chi looks better than the regular Chi.

    And I right clicked your gloved hand too! :laugh: I'll be like " and this is my friend Nailz everybody " :laugh: And yes, of course I got my Stingray X darling :banana:

    While I do not work for Focalecig, I sure put a lot of work into FC getting this mod, and last night I was typing like a crazed person telling Doris she better reserve mine for order because I went to bed before they were officially listed. :glare:

    Oh the porn that I am going to make :rickroll:
    I believe I am getting FC vape mail today, fingers crossed :D

    Hope you grabbed one of the stingray x's before all gone nikki, and just for you, MJ glove for you :laugh:

    Sometimes clearing your browser cache makes them work. I try that whenever it works for someone else and not for me, cuz um, what makes them special? :glare: Then if that doesn't work, I very humbly contact CS to see if they'd be willing to adjust the pricing for me (then they credit my card).

    Wanted to comment on this awhile ago but never remembered when I was reading the thread. Kudos to focalecig for showing switches disassembled in their picture spread of products. That way you know exactly what design switch you're getting.

    I remember the first of the black copper Stingray's which came with the Nemesis style switch. If there were pics like focalecig uses now of that product, nobody would have received one and been surprised by the switch.

    I agree, but they didn't always do this. They listened to some customer concerns over the lack of details in the listings .. There is room for many more improvements to be made, but I definitely like seeing the mech switches broken down. :)

    The status for my Stingray X order says "packing and waiting for delivery" :rickroll: With shipping from GA, I might see my new baby by Friday. :D

    I am sure you will enjoy your new "baby" when it arrives. I am awaiting your excellent, detailed review that I am sure you will give us of this mod. Your reviews are some of the best I have seen: great photos(porn), very detailed info, comparisons of manufacturers, etc.
    I just checked and FC has sold all the inventory of this SXK Stingray X already. It seems you picked a sure winner for Doris.
    I did not order this time as I wanted to wait for your review of this mod.

    I know you guys were expressing dislike for patina on copper mods so it prompted me to show you my cartel clone that I forced a patina on, then put three coats of clear on it. I left the other two tubes alone. This mod hits hard I love it but don't use it much. It is kind of hefty. For now it looks pretty sitting on my shelf doing its thing until I decide it needs to move on to someone else :)


    On the other hand I am not a fan of natural patina....I don't care for the smell it gives my hands. So this seems to work. :blink:

    The Chi was my 2nd mech I got, love the looks of it, but doesn't get much love now a days, my black mods took over and it does cause my metal allergy if use it to long, also nothing sits flush on it, which is a bit frustrating.

    I guessed you probably had one of the stingray x's reserved for yourself, look forward to the vape porn pics soon :D

    Congratulations on snagging your baby! I thought about it but decided not to go for it this time. You know my luck with soft metal top cap threads.

    I did however keep up my bargain and ordered the mini Nemi from the group buy.

    Focalecig.com is really getting my money today. First off the Stingray X, which I hope I like, then the group buy on the Nemi (mini Nemesis) for under $17. I bought the Stingray X thinking I could always sell it here for what I paid if I didn't like it. Don't know what I was thinking since I've known for a few months that you can't sell counterfeits on the ECF classifieds. I'll put it down to a bad nights sleep.

    Does anyone have the Nemi that they're offering. Looks decent but I'm curious what anyone who's gotten one thinks.

    I agree, but they didn't always do this. They listened to some customer concerns over the lack of details in the listings .. There is room for many more improvements to be made, but I definitely like seeing the mech switches broken down. :)
    I realized that, they just started having the switch and even the top cap disassembled pictures. I was thinking its nice to see at least some companies must still listen to customers. As I said I love that they're doing these.

    Personally I'll go with focalecig over FastTech if they both have the same offering and not just because its often a few cents to a buck cheaper. I just feel I get better service from focalecig.
