Thanks boo. The YiLoong Fogger V4.1 wouldn't be coming to FC soon, would it? Wouldn't want to get one and have it show up here a week later.

You're welcome boo ;-) ... The Yiloong Fogger V4? Well, she hasn't mentioned it to me, and I certainly haven't put her up to getting them. FYI, I don't like Yiloong as a manufacturer at all, for two reasons .. 1) they mandate MSRP's as a condition of supply, if you don't sell at the price THEY demand, they will not supply to you. 2) I find them to be way too inconsistent as a manufacturer to be mandating anything .. they are on V4 after all, with a few failed versions in between.

Now this doesn't mean that FC will not be stocking them, it just means that Nicole will not be asking or influencing them to do so. I only suggest the products and manufacturers that I really believe in. ;-) So buy away my darling. :)

Me again... Hi! So the group buy for the penny was supposed to ship between aug 7-10th. I still have no received it. At what point to I dispute it with paypal.

It's been nearly a month since it was supposed to ship....

I would contact FC directly via email first to find out how they respond to the fact that it has been a month and you haven't received it. I am sure they will either offer you a refund, or reship the item at no additional cost, especially if you are not interested in continuing to wait. But I would definitely attempt contact and resolution before opening a paypal dispute.

My account says it shipped Aug 8th so I think there is definitely something wrong here.

I've emailed support.

Got my Plume Veil from FC today, gotta say I dunno if its just a case of shinyitis, but this is favorite rda by a mile. Flavor is great, so easy to build with T-post for the positive, and this thing makes some serious vapor. Here's some pics of it along with the build. Just started playing with 22g kanthal, this is a 5/6 wrap. Pretty warm vape but, thats how I like it :)

So I take it that you did not pay for tracking with your order?? That is never a good idea even as many have reported receiving their no tracking shipments without issue. In my experience Canada Post is not the greatest, and without tracking it is impossible to know what the problem may be. Your package could be sitting in customs, possibly rejected CBSA, etc ..

In any event, let us know how customer support responds to you, and if some reason they do not give you a satisfactory response, pm me and I will ask Doris to look into it for you. :)

Looking really good there! Doris said that she was getting a lot of positive feedback on their Plume Veil clone, so good for you. :)

Here is a review for the Pallas Rose V2 clone by Big Tom .. he actually owns an authentic Rose V2 and he says that the Pallas Rose is just as good as his authentic, which is great to hear. He received the Pallas version without the stand though, the one FC has includes the stand/removal tool. It sucks that he didn't build on it all, but at least he gave his thoughts on the clone in comparison to his experience with the original.

Thanks for the info. Not in love with Yiloong but they are one of the few manufacturers I can afford to buy the original thing from, like Kanger or Youde. One thing that amuses me about them is their total inconsistency. They released V4.1 recently which is really V4.4 since there are 3 versions of V4.0. There are also several vendors that ignore their MSRP (you know I'm cheap) :)

    The clones from FC and FT of the fogger work just as well as the original foggers, I have 1 silver fogger from FC and had 2 silver original foggers, as I wanted black foggers, I sold the 2 original foggers and then went and bought 2 black clones, the only real difference between the clones and the 4.1 is the air control ring is threaded on the original and the chimney is a different, but otherwise they work just as well, oh and with the clones, you also get a metal tank section, which is nice to have as backup in case you did break the glass section.

    I have seen the originals on ebay for as low as $23, but have to be careful with ebay, heard people complaining of some people selling clones and claiming they are the authentic foggers.

    My Wotofo ZNA 30 has landed :banana: .. I requested a 18650 only tube, here are some quick shots that I today. There are two pics where the screen appears blurry, that is the pic not the device, the display screen is crystal clear. In one pic the reflection of the screen actually shows up clear in the reflection of the glass table if you look closely.

    That looks SWEET. Hope I can get my Mits on one Soon.

    How is the "Tippy Factor" when it is in 18650 Mode?

    Just saw this in another thread but it was interesting enough to pass along. The really huge replacement drip tip they make for the Tobh also fits the Plume Veil. So if you chase ginormous clouds you'll want one. I know FT sells a few versions, black or white delrin, stainless steel with and without fins.

    I believe that is the Tobeco version .. the colors are cool, I wouldn't mind some nice color combo's, but I don't know about Tobeco producing a ZNA. No clue what kind of chip it has in, but I will be paying attention to feedback.

    The tippy factor is great because the device demonstrates no signs of any tendency to fall over .. had it standing on the coffee table with a glass tank attached all day without issue. I was concerned about this myself as it was hard for my brain to imagine it NOT falling over, but nope .. perfectly stable on the table :laugh:

    You will enjoy it when yours arrives .. too early to make definite statements but it seems to regulate power more efficiently than my Cloupor DNA, but I need to use and test it more with identical builds and batteries before I can say for sure. :)

    I saw that FC has added the 454 Big Block dripper under "new arrivals". Just going by the pictures it looks just like the authentic one I have. I really can not see any difference at all. I am not sure about the insulator materials and such details. The price is right also, only $9.75.
    The 454 is the dripper I use every day along with my Magma clone.
    The negative ring on FC's 454 clone looks to be stainless steel(same as authentic) and not brass like some other clones I have seen. I am not sure who the manufacturer is and I have asked Doris tonight if she knows. Just guessing it may be a Tobeco as I have seen pictures of them with the stainless steel negative ring.
    I will wait to see if they add it to the US warehouse and if not I will order it from FC China site.
    I run dual horizontal coils in mine at .17 ohms and it gives a great vape. But I feel it could use just a little more air flow with builds this low. That is the reason I want a clone so I can drill it for more air flow. I can not make myself drill the authentic one. The stock air flow is perfect for anything over .2 ohms in my opinion. I use one of the Cherry Vapes delrin oring-less drip tips with it, but the stock drip tip is not bad at all.
