LOL ok thats why none of the coupons work. haha thanks for the super quick responses guys. So are most of the people ordering from china? not the USA warehouse?

I would say both, but the US doesn't have as large of an inventory as their China site does, so by default more orders tend to be placed their. But according to Doris, the plan is to continue to grow the US inventory a few products at a time. There are a few sweet goodies on the way that haven't been listed yet .. and I am deffo getting one of the Kato Square box mods when they arrive at the US warehouse.

    Keeping my eye on the USA warehouse. Might try one of the orchid rda's. Anyone here tried one yet to be able to compare it to the kayfun?

    I've been tempted by them, as I like the foggers so much, but they only hold about 2mils of juice, and the chimney is all 1 piece, so can't work on wick once chimney on, I know there is a v2 just hitting the market, which is meant to be able fill from the bottom via a fill screw, which means it can hold a little bit more juice.

    They are dual coil, so probably going to get more vapor than a kayfun, but can't comment on flavor as not got one yet.

    So I'm still going with trying to get the Beast Flip replacement parts. FC said they were getting the parts yesterday. I just sent an email to make sure before I place my next order. Undecided on what to get but I'm thinking of either an Orchid, or another magma in a different color, or maybe a Taifun.

    I'm a big kayfun lite fan (I have 5 of them, all clones) and didn't really get into drippers much but I do like the Magma. I've heard good things about the Orchid and the Taifun. I'm leaning toward the Orchid though, with its huge juice channels, to use it with my Quacks Gizzard & Goose Juice. Both of them (max VG) don't really work to well in my Kayfuns. Not if I chain vape that is. But I've never tried a Taifun. Any opinions on either the Orchid vs Taifun?

    I think Nelson just ordered one from FC last week, if you wanna wait.

    What I've heard about the first batch of Tobeco ones that came out (I dunno who made FC's) is that they're hit or miss, whether you get good posts or not. That's kinda why I'm holding out for the V2 - bigger juice channels and bottom fill screw + hopefully they addressed all the things they screwed up on the first one. :laugh: The people that got good ones are really happy with theirs though, when comparing to KFs.

    Somebody did a test on capacity on another thread. Here's what he found (he was playing with KF Quartz Nano parts):
    Posted by b.m. Ok,just finished up the test.I filled both the stock tank and the nano from the bottom with a syringe to get the most accurate results.With the stock tank,i got 3ml in it,and could possibly fit another 1/2ml in it,but it would be tight,with the nano kit,1 1/2ml was really pushing it,that was all the way to the threads which would push juice out,probably through the air holes,so i did not even try screwing it together like that.So,to get a glass tank,the search will definitely continue,i will be happy if i can find glass that will work and give me at least a 2ml capacity,definitely dont want to go lower than that though.I wont know for sure until that top cap from fasttech is in my hands,but i'm wondering if it may make the full size glass work,i noticed where the chimney goes into that cap is dropped a bit in the center,which may give it just enough to reach the chimney.

    The way to fill them is definitely from the bottom, to fill into the top cap and get max capacity. If you fill from the top, you'll be missing that whole top part. With the V1 (no fill screw), you'd just drop the tank a bit and syringe or needle-cap fill. Also, that 2ml probably came from using KF tanks to try to even out the barrel look of the stock tank. But with dual coils and good airflow, this thing does go through a lot of juice, so...

    Well shoot. After using this Magma since I got home I decided to go with another one. Then I can just use goose in one and gizzard in the other.

    I'm really impressed with the magma. Like I mentioned I'm a kayfun fan and flavor is most important to me. The Magma definitely puts out great flavor. And those deep wells are awesome. Though this black one had some cleaning up for me to do. The holes drilled into the airflow ring needed to be cleaned up and smoothed out inside the ring. Also with the hole drilled into one of the posts. A quick and lite hit with e dremel or rat tail file and they will be perfect.

    It appears that the stainless Magma is from a different manufacturer. At least if the different box is any indication of that. So I'm going with the stainless version.

    After hearing that a second version of the orchid is coming out I figured I'd just wait for that one.

    If Nelson gives the one they have a thumbs up, then I'll be back to considering it again. But dang, I'd have to buy another mod for it too, cuz it won't go with the one and only one I have now.

    Ok so I have been busting at the seams to speak about THE ROSE V2 1:1 CLONE that FC just received to their US warehouse yesterday! :banana: I have not seen it in person, but Portertown did being that FC's new warehouse agent is in North Carolina. So Crocky my dear, you might want to check out the Rose darling.

    I know Nelson ordered one from Vaportek that he should have in hand soon, and I can't wait to get one so me and Nelson can compare notes :D Portertown said that it looked really good, and it better because I picked it, and sent the info to Doris to stock it. :banana: But I have to give some credit to Nelson because some of you may remember that he was the one who put me up to looking for it, and then like a true impatient addict he bought it from VaporTek :laugh:

    For those who are unfamiliar with the Rose V2 atomizer, here are pics of the authentic, and the clone that FC got is a 1:1 so they should have some pics of their clone up soon. This is a complex and advanced user device so its not suitable for newbie's.

    Just picked up the R91% base only, $15, shipped from US warehouse. Finally someone sells just the base, I hope they are decent quality.

    The base is good quality .. FC actually let me and Nailz buy one before they listed them on site so that we could check the quality on them. I would recommend changing out the screws though for larger one's, as I did with mine. Also the grub screw for the AFC is already installed and completely tightened down, so use the allen key to open it up before testing.

    I actually thought the base had no air flow because I couldn't see the grub screw in there at first :p

    I actually posted a pic of the Russian base and that glass tank the other day, but I didn't want to mention it until FC actually listed it. This is the Russian base with the glass tank they also listed.

    I can answer that now YES IT DOES ... because it was demanded that way ;-) Pallas does sell it with and without the stand, but I told Doris not stock it unless it had the stand with it.

    This is the exact kit FC ordered, box and all ...

    I think you're finally gonna get that blue or gold TF! Be careful with the stainless steel Turtle Ship SE. The newest one is 23mm, but there's also an older one that's 22mm. My favorites are the two in the middle.
    Can I ask you to use those mad Photoshop skillz and mock up the Taifuns on the polished stainless steel Ember (think focalecig calls it Fire of Life)? I do like the Turtle Ship combo but would like an additional mod if I'm going to bother getting a 23mm. I like the looks of the black Ember but don't want to have to deal with removing the coating on the threads all over.

    What makes it an advanced user device, nikki? Kind of reminds me of my Aqua. Any more difficult to build than that?

    The coiling system is unlike anything else presently available, its hard to explain it in words. You can build it with or without the ceramic cups, you have the stand which is also a removable tool for base, and rebuilding aide so you can keep the liquid in tank while working on the build. And yes, it has a similar juice control system to the Aqua.

    Hard to break it down quickly, but I will be reviewing it of course. You can check out reviews for the original Rose V1 and V2 on youtube ... I hope to get the first review of the clone out shortly. I intend to have a review posted by the 15th. But like I said check out the reviews of the authentic as this clone is 1:1 so it functions the same ... Now, the question is, is the clone as good as the original?
