No doubt bro. That's why we here. We get items. Review it with our opinion and relay the message to others. Even though it's not from FC (sorry Nikki) but here to help out.
Glad to know it wasn't from FC. You guys were starting to bum me out! :laugh:

Sucks. Did the chimney do that?

To answer your first question, because they come in a box, with an extra glass tank, was shipped to the US, there is a warehouse agent to pay, and are not from FT ;-)

Isn't my honey boo just an Angel? :wub: .. I have not seen a single new arrival today so I am totally out of the loop. So now I have to go take a look at the SAT 22, I am not very interested in this, but I am curious to see how the one they stocked looks. :)

Ah, nice to have a cute face to go with the cute messages. :thumb:

Not to sound rude, but how come so much higher on the glass kits?

Nice that they got the Sat 22...but tell her I want the BF-99!
I think there might be a typo in there regarding posts - pretty sure those were meant for single coil builds. The two wick holes are to give you a choice between two thicknesses (I think 2.5mm or 2mm). And supposedly they come with 20x1 hybrid connectors? Dunno. Maybe it's like with the Rose, base or no base (FT just got them with no base).

Dayum ... you got a janky stanky one :cry: Wow, so many issues on one mod, which for me is totally unacceptable for a $60 mod ... totally. I think you should request a full replacement Drifter, there are too many things wrong with it. Sorry that happened to you hun, especially after waiting so long :( The good news, I know from Doris that a batch of Kato's are in transit to the US, so you should be able to return the janky one to NC and have a replacement shipped out from there. At least you won't have to wait for a replacement from China.

Although I must say that your Frankenstein fix looks kinda good :)

Kato Box Mod SKU: 21923 from FC came in today.


Here is a shot of my brand new Frankensteined Kato Box mod so I can at least use it for now :(

I was really hoping to be able to use it this weekend, so thankfully I had other parts that I was able to temporarily use to get it to work. I really feel bad for people who order these and can't fix some of these issues themselves. Hopefully others have better luck with theirs than what I did with mine :(

Yeah, I would like to believe that yours was just a bad apple in the bunch, I haven't heard too much feedback on it yet aside from you. I didn't receive mine yet, but I will be truly bent out of shape it shows up like that. :glare:

Where did you get the Pegasus from ? If not from FC could ya please specify that hun ...

Well your not the only one disappointed today. Got my Pegasus and it sucks the royal donkey also. It is very crappy. My locking ring is stuck. Mod looks like it was made in a hurry.

I'm going to buy me the Gnome V2 and SuperTPrecision Workhorse. I'll compare those with my current mods.

Should've known that damn unicorn would do me dirty lol.



My opinion. Don't buy this POS.

Ok but the way that you posted it, to a passerby or lurker it appears that you got it from FC and you didn't. So if you are going to post stuff from other places please specify where it came from please ... thank you.

Hey Cindy .. Here is your photo answer as to why the FC glass tank that comes in a BOX with an extra glass costs more than FT. :) And for the record, I don't think any other vendors, China or US are shipping glass tanks in a gift box with an extra glass .. just sayin. :)

Other than the stripped 510 threaded topcap, everything else can be easily fixed by me so I'm gonna keep the mod and make it even better ;) I really just want the topcap replaced. I can't in good faith return the whole mod anymore because I have already started modifying it to fix some of other minor issues.

I can tend to be over critical in my reviews because of my machining background so something that I find not up to par are really just my opinions. Most people would probably find it just fine cosmetically as it is for being a clone. I've come to expect that most clones need some finishing off to make them perfect so I'm all right with that :)

Now that Ive had some time with it I do like how it vapes, I don't have to worry about it tipping over and don't have to worry about it auto firing when I sit it down :D It actually fit into my buddies empty Marlboro 100's cigarette pack tonight, so it's a familiar size to carry around for us ex smokers ;)

Everybody who I showed it to tonight liked it, so it does have its charm ;)

Quick! I just placed a FC order and I need to change my address! The address listed in my paypal profile is my old address, and I didn't catch it until I had already submitted my order... How do I correct this so the device ships to my current address and not my old house? HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
You should get your order number and email service@focalecig.com. Do it now. They're fast!
Do something like this on the title: URGENT! ORDER #XXXXXX WRONG ADDRESS!

That's the only way I've ever done it with other PP purchases. I don't think there's a way to access your order once you pay. If you created an account at FC, you can try logging in to see if you can make that change to your order, but I doubt that you can. You might be able to cancel your order from there, but it would take a little time for your money to go back into your acct.
