Oh wow .. I did read some speak about 510 pin lengths, and I forget to tell Doris to look into that .. I will ask her later when she comes on skype. Do you know who makes the one you saw on Ebay? I remember you mentioned Shenzhen Easter, but I looked into them, and they are a reseller, so there is no telling where the clone originally came from.

I am not sure, but I think they were from Shenzhen Easter. Shenzhen Easter has a posting on Alibaba that seems to imply that theirs are made by Vapetech, but I am not sure.
I am going out for coffee with friends for a little bit, but will be back on the forum later tonight.

Nice collection Haku. May I ask what SKU your new Caravela is?
As Nikki answered, it is 13537. note that it is a 23mm outer diameter mod (ideal for taifun or squape), and M21x1 threading (quite different to other velas, so they are not compatible).


Haku, have we previously authenticated your "playa's card"? I am counting 10 set ups my friend :banana:

And you are correct, I removed the pin for nipple top batteries, but I also agree with your findings, I do think that it hits harder without the lower pin as well .. I may try this with the Ember clone/Fire of life. My review for that is posted btw. :)

i'm at "play" stage :D only need an "a" to reach playa status. the ego batteries don't count.
so they are 8 mods (1 vela, 3 nems, 2 sr, 1 4nine, 1 vamo). i also got an ar hollow black coated mod (yes, Nailz, i said "black" :D), but i don't like it and want to get rid out of it. 2 stingray x are in transit, and i might order another female 4nine (it hits harder than nem or sr, i'm getting used in vaping without kick, and increasing wattage when using kick).
when i reach the magic playa number, will take a pic of the fam.

yes, the vela is short for nipple batteries, but thanks to that, you found the "fewer-intermediate-slim-pins-harder-hit" way.
the aw imr 18490 with nipple fits very well (because of its 1mm minus); i'd say even loose..
using kicks (those which are a bit larger than a kick ring) is almost impossible.

gonna read your FOL review, and then, to bed.

I liked the look of the logo, but I am not a fan of the original company, so that had me rethinking the logo. I also don't want Doris to bring any trouble to herself so, I advised her to get no logos, but I'm not sure which one she went with.

How about Nikkita's Player's for a custom logo? :)

Only 5 red??? Oh no, we have to be quick with the fingers. Although I am still recouping from a recent purchase so I may be out anyway this go around....

I know :facepalm: I tried to tell that woman that this is no girly frilly Red, and that it is more appealing than she realizes. Baby steps :laugh: I am just trying to keep her focused on building up that US warehouse so we can stop the waiting for stuff!

I will see if I can get her to reconsider that choice ... I will dang sure try :laugh:

I saw the Shenzhen Easter listing in search results, but I didn't examine it closely, I zero'd in on Acerig, and iJoye .. Enjoy your coffee, that sounds like a nice, chill evening activity. We will chat later :)

That blue is pretty damn good too, blue is my favorite color in general, just not normally on mods, but that is a really nice blue, if FC was getting the black and blue, would be a hard decision on which to get.

OMG, I would be overjoyed if you shocked us all and got the blue ... it will look nice with your complexion :D

You are right Haku, the playa status is usually "10 mech mod specific", but I am so fond of you that I had to count your Ego's because I want you in the family :) But you are a patient man, and with two X's on the way, its basically official. :D

I need a get a pair of 18490's, I have 500's, and that 1mm less would help many things. Have a good night darling, and we will chat again soon. ;-)

i've read your review of the FOL. round and perfect review. congrats! :thumb:

thanks to you, and also to the people who reviewed it here, this mod is the first in my wishlist, so the squape will find a suitable home (it was feeling envy of the taifun, which is sailing the caravela). the FOL will accept kick surely (due to its ability to accept larger batteries), or fuses, and this is important for me because i got a short in the squape once.
could you please measure the magnets which come with the fol, if you get time for it? no obligation, no hurry.

    I never got the playa status :( I have 12 mechs right now, the 4nine coming and going to guess the manhattan too ;)

    I already have the blue nemesis, so it wouldn't be my 1st blue mod, but you said FC are only getting bronze, black and red, so it will be the black I get, I think I would still get the black even if they got the blue too, as any color toppers go with a black mod, not so much for blue ;)

    Thank you dear :) .. Measure the magnets? :unsure: I don't have anything to measure the magnets with :( I don't have those caliper thingy's :p What do you use to measure?

    I'm in the playa club :headbang:

    Yea the blue neme really doesn't get much attention now a days though, been spoilt with so many more mods, like the turtle ship, FOL, vela and the Heimdall mods ;)

    With so many black mods, it really looks out of place really :laugh:

    If she could've gotten "FU" in the same font and the same look as the real "AV," that would've been awesome and they would've sold a boatload of them. But engraved/debossed, not printed on.
