How are you pushing the fire button on that, especially with the shorter atties? Is it comfortable, or would it be more so with an angle DT adapter? Nice pics!

Good question ;) I actually find myself holding it 2 different ways with the shorter drip tips, both are very comfortable and seem natural :)

Very seductive porn Drifter :) .. I received my Kato box today, and while I didn't have the lumps and bumps in polished top panel, that cylinder shaped delrin piece inside the bottom panel is too thick and its keeping the base for securing on flat and me no likey that. So I am going to sand that down when I get some time. My switch is also wobbly, but I am sure that I can fix that as well by shortening the throw. I haven't put any atties on it or tried to fire it, been busy with the other Wotofo that came with it.

Hopefully Sunday I can get to it, because I can see how sexy it is, just needs some fine tuning. But my honest opinion is that its overpriced, which is not FC's fault. I know how much this thing costs wholesale and FC should actually be charging more for it based on wholesale pricing. I love the very deep engravings, that makes the whole box for me. :)

Hope everybody is having a great start to their Friday evening :)

Heres some more Kato Box mod vape porn for your viewing pleasure :D

Found another use for my Huron Style Hybrid to 510 adapter, makes a great extension for my 18650 Kato Style Box mod :D

Added the GP Style top cap to it and mounted it on my Kato like this:

Allows me to use my Drippers on it now :)

Here is the Magma:

I'm glad you finally got your Kato in too, but sorry to hear that you also seem to have some different issues :(
Hopefully you will be able to screw in attys onto yours, all mine bottomed out without touching the 510 threads in the topcap.

Would love to see some of your Kato vape porn when you get a chance, you have a lot of different attys that I don't and bet that you can put together some real sexy setups ;)

ps. Notice your drip tip on the Russian 91% pics :D One of my faves ;)

Ya, I could see a gap in the main body and base so I took it apart and the round, white delrin piece is keeping it from fitting flat when its all put back together. But oh, I can see its potential! :D

I have been neglecting my porn duties something terrible lately :( And you know whats funny about that drip tip? I actually hated it upon first sight, thought it was too big. Now it has grown on me and I love it with the Russian, glass tank, and custom Kayfun top cap :) I can totally see why you would like that one.

Did you use the GP top cap because you had the bad, stripped Kato top cap? Did you show the Huron adapter in the pics and I missed it?

I received both of my items from the USA Warehouse today -- 2 days from ordering! With free shipping now less. Very impressive.

Less so that there was no printed invoice inside the envelope, but I saved a copy on my computer.

I purchased the Plume Veil clone from unknown manufacturer which came in a simple rectangular, albeit colorful, generic paper box marked "atomizer." The delrin dome was stuck inside the top cap, and from the looks of it was inserted before the drilling of the 2 top cap holes. Both holes were blocked with delrin particles and I had to poke inside with some kanthal to clean it out. Aside from the delrin piece, the rest of the PV was looking good. After what seemed like hours to wrench the pieces free and clean it and clear to air channels, the atomizer does perform well. Only other issue is the 510 connection is too large from my ohm reader.

The other item I purchased with the Stingray X. I recently received the $19.99 101Vape SS Stingray and was enjoying it, but the SXK Stingray X blows it away. Not a rough edge on it, has a nice heft to it, and it is the hardest hitting mech I own currently. Only issue was that the delrin insulator in the firing switch it loose and popped free while I was testing the switch during inspection. The firing contact wasn't screwed in tight either. Both are non-issues, since it doesn't impact performance and since I know about the delrin, I'll keep an eye on it.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the transaction and the lightning quick ship from the USA Warehouse.

They wait till the group buy is over and then ship. That helps them lower the price.
I Got mine yesterday. Very nice. Better than my FT one. It is slightly smaller, has a brighter display and the 510 connector isn't wobbly. No hole for the charge led but it does show a charging animation which stops when fully charged (and the hidden red led goes out). I don't really miss the charge led hole since I'm color blind to red and green.

I believe, at least for the last HANAA group buy, FC started shipping once the order total exceeded 100 units. Mine shipped before the group buy ended.

edit: weird, the current group buy doesn't say anything about shipping after a certain number of units have been ordered.

It is odd. I ordered this past week before the buy ended, not knowing they would turn right around and do it again, and the discussion made me go to see when the ship date was and I didn't get the usual pop up about the current buy. That's where they mention things like shipping after xx ordered and the like. So looks like they are doing things a bit different.
PS: does anyone know the ship date for the previous buy?

Also for those who want a different color, they offer red and blue for $48 and change. Which means that the group buy is only saving you about 10% this time.

    Actually you can order the red or blue and use coupon code 'FCVAPINGCHEAP' for 10% off and bring it down to $43.99 same price as group buy ;)

    Ooohhh... colors! Too bad...

    If I order a second HANAA it'll have to be another black one. My wife only knows my mods by shape and color. The long round silver one, the black square one, etc. If a red one or blue one suddenly appears there may be questions asked. All box mods must be black.

    My gun collection is much the same way, lol.

    Went back looking for a shipping date from the last group buy, didn't find it. But I did find that they just stocked the skeleton key mod. Its even 23mm, just right for a Taifun. Not sure why but its one of the currently hot mods.

    I wish i would have known that. Is there a difference in the black and the other colors? The black and grey are 56.00 and the red and blue are 48.88. I wasnt sure if they were different since the price was different. Anyone know?

    Actually Im using the top cap from my Hammer mod on the Kato Box mod. FC is sending me a replacement for the stripped Kato top cap, so I should be getting it soon.

    Here are a couple pics of just the Huron adapter with GP top cap so you can pick it out in the previous porn pics I posted.

    I like this as a extension because the Huron hybrid adapter has the 510 threads that screw into the Kato's topcap on one end and a 20x1 thread on the other end.
    I just screwed in the GP topcap to use other attys instead of the actual huron. It raised the drippers up just enough so that the top of the dripper is level with the top of the Kato.
    If I didnt use this type of extension setup I would need to use longer drip tips to make up the difference in height between the drippers and the top of the Kato mod.

    Can this piece be purchased seperately, do you know?
