Thanks for the input everyone! Nikki, I like the rose, but it holds the least amount of juice. This morning I drained my Kraken on the ride into work. I shot a PM to yogi805 about the KFL they're selling. Maybe that would foll the need for a tank in my life.

I hear ya! But the Rose seems to be very efficient in how it goes through eliquid because I have been vaping it all day exclusively since the first day I built it and I only fill it once a day. I have it at 1.2 ohms, vaping at 14.5W. Very surprised about that. Been meaning to go lurk in the Rose V2 thread to see if anyone else's experience is similar. But a Kayfun is a good choice as well, love them too! :)

Got the Gus Lord pseudo clone yesterday from focalecig and a metallic blue Fogger V4.1 in today's mail. The combo looks OK color wise although I think that the gold Taifun and Turtle Ship will look better if focalecig ever gets around to putting them in a package and mailing them. I've never waited like this before on an order from them.

As far as the Gus goes its not bad, looks pretty good, nice and hefty, good lock ring, great threads throughout. It isn't telescoping but has the thread in thread adjustment on the top cap instead. Logos don't match exactly but look good. Has imitation air holes designed into the top cap but actually doesn't have any air flow at all. I'll try to take pics of the combo.

Porn please :D .. And you should email FC about your other order and ask them what they hold up is, although I am sure that restocking has something to do with it. :(

Now is a good time for you to give some thought to what you should get me for your Vapeversary. :D :banana:
:D Thanks for the laugh. I really wasn't expecting that response.

On a different note, I saw something about the Kato box mod threading. The 510 adapter for the weird threaded 3D might work as a 510 connector extension on the Kato.

ETA: Never mind, then you would need the top cap from a Chi You or similar to make it work.

Congrats Burnie, that is awesome :D
Thanks

Coingrats Burnie!!! :party:

I've got a little more to go, Nov. 6. Have you decided what you are going to give yourself as a gift?
I have spent $3000 in the last year, no need to buy anything as a gift for myself, unless I see something that is Shinny :lol:

Aww congrats Burnie! We have a lot in common, my last cig was on Aug 30, 2013, so it seems that we both were vaping and smoking for sometime before we finally quit. Cheers to that :toast: And the good news is that I don't miss it at all! :D
Thanks Sweetheart :wub:

Tomorrow would be 7 days and wasn't last weekend that Chinese 3 day holiday? So I've been patient and decided to email Monday if it hasn't shipped.

As far as porn goes, isn't the easiest for me. My Virgin Mobile HTC Evo View V (what Sprint called the Evo 3D) is a bit long in the tooth for taking pictures. Then I have to move them to my Nexus 7 tablet. Then I can post. So I don't do pictures often :(

If anyone is willing to donate the Galaxy S-whatever that Virgin Mobile offers currently, I promise to post pictures of everything, even non focalecig items :)

Actually, I alright thought of the 3D that you gave me and I do have a Chi You top cap so it is an option. Still have not touched the Kato since the day I got it, but I will get to it some time next week. I also have the GP Heron coming so I am covered on the "Drifter fixes" :D

The orchid v3 looks nice. Anyone know if it is glass tank? We need that in the US. Warehouse too :)

still waiting on the pontus dripper tank for the US warehouse:toast:

Ya know, Doris called it a glass tank when she told me about it last night, but that don't look like a glass tank to me .. I will reconfirm when she gets in tonight. I will get one regardless though :D

The Pontus .. I know Doris priced them from EHpro (The big buddha too) but was hesitant because they are not cheap in terms of wholesale, it would prolly be around $45 for the Pontus if FC sold it .. thoughts?

eciggity has the Pontus for $41.99, and you can get them on ebay for $39.99 with free shipping. Sounds like they are charging a premium to China vendors. Now I have to go see if I can find my old fanny pack.

Hello Nicki! I was speaking with my friend Burnie (who is 1 year healthier today) about my adventure with Focalecig recently and he suggested to come on over here to ask some opinions on what to do when having a problem getting an item that's defective -Twice, so far. So anyhow, here's my story...back in June, I got the itch, as usual (who doesn't on here) for yet another mod to add to the collection and so I decided on another Vamo. I did a search and Focalecig came up pretty quick. I liked the price and I thought why not try China this time. So when I received it, I really didn't use it until about a week later and noticed it had a defective 'negative' button. I contacted CS and went back and forth with emails until I finally was given a chance to send it back and get a refund. I didn't want a refund, I wanted it replaced... At one point they wanted me to go ahead and fix it myself. I told them absolutely not, I want it replaced. So, about 20 emails later, I finally was able to send it back. It finally came about a week ago. I've been emailing back and forth again this week because this one has a defective Positive post. It stutters like mad when I press the menu for resistance and I noticed it happens with the voltage menu also. If I tighten a head down as if it were on a vice, it will stop stuttering (or bouncing for lack of better words). And we all know that you should not have to tighten a head down that much. :blink: So in my latest escapade this past week, I have been going back and forth again. Had to send yet another video of the freaking thing doing it's dance AGAIN. I don't know why they wanted 2 dang videos, because it didn't magically change overnight.:facepalm: So my question... Is 3 a charm?? I wonder if I should pursue another or just live with this one?? Thanks for reading my short story:laugh:.

Mine said it would ship on the 18th now it's saying the 20th, are you sure they're not getting more in?

PS...I ordered the Orchid V3 from FT today.

    I saw the V3 on FT yesterday, but your probably be waiting a month to get it though, bet it will go to restocking once to gets to ship date, I've been waiting 2 weeks for my black stingray x to ship from them, went to restocking and got told today, be at least another 7 working days before it ships, this is why I hardly use FT anymore, anything new nearly always takes a month or more to get from them. I only ordered the stingray x because had gift certificate to use with them.

    Don't have a solutions to your problem, but I thought I would chime in and tell you something you probably don't want to hear. My Vamo likes some attys and dislikes others. On some devices the ohm reading fluctuates and I have to tighten it down some more, on others it works perfectly. My friend has one that does exactly the same thing, and we bought them from different places and at different times. I have never had to tighten anything until it bottoms out, but more than I would on my SID.

    I'll continue to order from them because I really like the quality I get and the refund is quick if somethings wrong. That being said, if FC has it in the US warehouse they instantly have my business!

    I saw the orchid v3 on eBay but said it was a preorder and the pics looked like a Kayfun with the aether tech logo photoshopped on. They didn't show a pic of the deck so I was very skeptical.

    If it's a pre-order they're just waiting to get it from China so I figure I can do that and save a ton of money.

    Here's a link to the picture of the deck http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10009514/1861400-orchid-v3-styled-rebuildable-tank-atomizer
