Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[Art Mustel]

Why would you need a new charger? You don't have one of the Nitecore's? You can get away with only one battery if schedule accordingly, the MNKE is 3500 mah lasts all day easy, charge at night with auto shut off.

No, the one I have is a Trust Fire TR-001, i don't think it is good for 26650 (however it has worked great for 18's and 14's!

Cindy,

That top cap is all I need. I don't know about the Hobo. Sound too close to Homo, that's what I call Tony Romo

I'm really concerned about how difficult the switch may be to fire. I have fibromyalgia and on bad days even an aluminum mod with 18650 gets to be uncomfortably heavy. (I end up using an aluminum SVD in 18350 mode with a mini ProTank on those days.) You mention pinky firing in another post. Is it really not that strong and just has a long throw? Otherwise I'm liking the look of it more and more. Even the sorta shiny black looks decent although I'd want the mat version.

It does have a bit of force to the switch to fire compared to the other mods I have, I don't find it a problem myself, and is reassurance for me, that it won't fire when sitting down, but it is a damn good mod, you have other setups, so maybe get one and can use on the better days, because it is a really good mod

I have the Efest LUC Multi-function charger, does pretty much every LiON battery type including 26650. The newer model looks nice and is just a few bucks more ($28 vs $25) at 101. Even mentions a 2A charging rate in the description, perhaps just for 26650, don't know, haven't seen a review anywhere yet.

Regarding Manhattan clones... Just how bad is the copper one in the China warehouse? At about $18 in the group buy, assuming that the regular 10% off coupon works, seems like something to put under a Taifun. Although I don't know if copper and blue would go together, perhaps I'd get the rose gold colored one instead. Comments anyone? I'm the sort who'd wear a plaid shirt with stripped pants, so I know I have absolutely no color or fashion sense. I just know I can't buy the blue Taifun and use a yard of duct tape on my Nemi or Nikkita6 will kick my ...., or at least never give me my playa card.

That is really hot and slick looking, I love it .. and btw, I don't mind the pregnant look of the Orchid, it makes it look more different than the Kayfun with M Tanks. In having a lot of gear, I need things to look different and unique for me. One of the reasons that I love the Stingray X, because it looks like nothing else out there.

I kinda mind, but after everything I've read about it so far, kinda want one now. Can you maybe look into a better version than Tobeco's (like the one Nelson found) and do your magic wand thing?

 

[nelsonm64]

And do you know that its 18500? That will make for a solid 30-60 tops mins of vaping ..

ya that's a the only draw back but, I use those purple 14 amp efests so, I just ordered a few more don't mind swapping out batts every couple hours...

i've seen some pics of her clear cat (i guess it belongs to her), while mine comes from the net.
but i've just taken a photo of the kitty i'm looking after for some days..

Awe... she's precious, can I have her? You won't be able to give her back. We use to have a cat that looked just like her, we called her Freckles. Now I feel sad, she was such a great cat.

 

[Nailz]

Didn't see this, but I have been slacking with checking FC's new arrivals .. I like this blue a lot, but I ordered the SS one already. The other Stingray 26650 has a voltage drop of .10 and its not even real copper, so I would like to believe that this version with real copper will perform just as well, if not slightly better.

Whaddaya got against 26650? They are really not that bad, great for home vaping. I was surprised to get a long with mine so well.

You've been slacking, that is meant to be the 1st thing you do, check new arrivals, that is my morning routine

I don't like the size or weight of 26650's, I won a 26650 mod in my 1st 6 months of vaping, I used it for a few days, and then traded it for some juice

Also don't want to try another one again, as if my mind changed on them, then got to get new batteries, new toppers etc, 18650's last me fine at work and at home, so don't see a reason to change that.

But that blue stingray x is sexxxxxxxxy, if they dropped that color on the 18650, I would grab it fast

My stingray x arrived today!! Only took 7 days from Hong Kong

Can't use coupon codes on group buys, they already discounted, so they don't allow coupon too, but still a very good price though

 

[hobbes4]

Did you really? And you know its 18500 right?

Yes and yes, but thanks for your concern. I don't sub ohm and i don't like the way it looks with the 18650 tube anyway so i'm fine with 18500. I always have two mechs with me in 18350 mod only so i''m use to carrying extra batteries.

 

[G-weezy]

I'm waiting on my new 26650. It's going to look smexy.

There is a post on Vaping Cheap for Nitecore i4 shipping out of China for $10, you should check it out. Don't know who the vendor is because I don't actually read the posts, just the headlines

 

[Nikkita6]

Glad you are enjoying it Nailz I love looking at mine No I have been using the Copper quite a bit, but I gotta get that can of rusteoleum though, because I can't do this constant cleaning bit

The Copper in China isn't bad at all .. its copper. I said the other one's suck because they are SS and PVD coated which is all wrong for conductivity and the Manhattan.

A little visual aid might help:

Too bad the chromy one is bad (and not on GB ) - I think the blue TF would look better on that. Or the black one - which I've heard said weighs less, right? Hmmm... dunno... brass would've looked awesome. But this is DEFINITELY a step up from plaid and stripes!

Doris told me last night that they have some Orchid's on the way to the China warehouse .. my hopes are not high for how it will be because it was prolly selected by the same non vaper who stocked the PVD Manhattans and an 18500 ZNA30. And that also means that the manufacturer will not be verified so we won't know where it came from.

I did look into the one Nelson found, but that is not a manufacturer, it is a trader which further means that its very likely that those photos are not of the actual RBA. When I went to that vendors FB page there was zero mention of the Orchid which leads me to believe that if someone tried to order it from them, they would source it from the cheapest available, translation = they will send you any ole Orchid. Everything on their FB page was odd or janky which means they are not really about this life

 

[Nikkita6]

Ok honey .. let us know how it turns out, I do want to hear your feedback, and be careful with those Efests too ;-)

Shucks. Oh well. Still early. If Skeezy brought them in, I'll probably pass this time around. That first batch that's been out was hit and miss as it was.

Awesome, and at least yours is confirmed SXK ;-) ..

in other revelations today, it turns out that all of the 1:1's that FT has been stocking lately are from Cigreen, not SXK, for sure not Infinite... but I already knew that, at least in the case of the supposed 1:1 4nine's and Slojo. I actually did believe for a moment that their $27 Stingray X was possibly SXK, but its not. Cigreen is not a bad manufacturer by any stretch, so its not a bad thing to be from Cigreen because its a 1:1, its just unfortunate that everyone is running around calling their 4nine's and Stingray's SXK and they are not .. Cigreen is also the manufacturer behind the Slojo's at FT, but that one fool tried to argue that they are SXK which is a confirmed impossibility.

I have no intentions of passing along this info on FT .. if they all want to believe that their mods are from SXK, then let them. If they were, FT would sell them as such, because there is no good reason not to. Oh, and for anyone who cares, the Hcigar Stingray X is Cigreen as well. Cigreen is to Hcigar, what SXK is to Infinite.
