I received a blue Fogger earlier this week. Its sitting on my brass 4nine and looks good. Harder to find the purple though. A certain Chinese company with a California presence sells them for $24 but wants $6.80 shipping so I'm looking elsewhere on general principles of not paying a third for shipping. Paid $24 delivered on eBay for the blue one but I asked, they don't have the purple or brown. Although I think they do have the rainbow one (third in, left side of the pic).

And although I like my Foggers I'm not bad about pushing them.

You are Haku darling, you are a real, bona fide Playa! Welcome to the club darling :D
thank you very much, queen bee!! you are my inspiration :wub:

I prefer the Pallas because it is brushed yes :D And it is so very attractive Haku :wub: I know that Doris was planning to bring the Pallas to China, but she said she cancelled because Pallas had delayed her order to the US .. but I will ask her if she will give a China order a shot for the Pallas Rose. :) She is a beauty!
Wow! she is a true beauty, indeed! (both, the pallas rose and Doris ;))
thank you for suggesting it to her, i'd order it the 1st day it shows in china warehouse, no dilation. will also suggest to Doris myself, although i'm not so convincing :p

about that wotofo, it was near.. but will still wait for the sx350. i need it is able to go down in voltage when needed

Hi y'all. I received a Hanaa today. Pretty good box. Only gripe is The top (+) button sticks on mine. When I push it , it keeps going.
Other than that, I'm happy with it.
Doesn't it display remaining battery voltage somewhere?

The battery status bar should be in constant display on the left side of the screen .. Keep an eye on that button though, it shouldn't be sticking.

I received my Hanna clone yesterday. Very nicely made, and works great.

Only minor problem, one of the back screws looks slightly stripped out. Still managed to get it out, and back in again to install the battery. As far as operation/performance goes, and this may just be a Hanna type thing, but with a tank atomizer such as an iclear 30s, there seems to be a lag before the coils heat up. About a second or so.

BTW. On mine, there is a battery symbol on the left of the display that indicates battery level. And it also displays the charging progress, just like a cell phone.

best regards, larry mac

Doris is a beauty :wub: .. The Wotofo's sxa300 chip does step down voltage, it has both buck and boost circuitry, one of the things that I like most about the chip. Didn't you see my review on vaping cheap hun?

Is the black zna 30 on FC wotofo? I am excited to see your review on the robbot but I am concerned about the weight of it compared to the aluminum wotofo. The wotofo is easy to put in shorts pocket without discomfort. It will be a hard choice between the robbot and black zna 30 if the zna 30 in black is wotofo.

You know, for all that it weighs, I somehow expected it to feel heavier .. It is for sure heavier than the Wotofo by almost 100 grams, but it also has a narrower body than the Wotofo so it just doesn't handle like a "heavy" device. Although it might make your shorts look funny :laugh: :blush:

I must admit though, even as black devices are not my thing, that black Wotofo is kinda sexy looking, and if I didn't already have two, I would for sure consider the black Wotofo. ETA: Yes, the black ZNA is Wotofo.

Are you sure that your iclear is making a full connection? There really shouldn't be any lag, although I don't own that particular Hana clone. Do you have any other atties to try it out with?

great review, master, as usual. congrats!

but the buck and boost circuitry is not clear for me. i must be missing something, as usual.
everywhere, specs of sxa300 say: "Output voltage: 4V - 8.3V". (and wattage: 7W - 30W)
while sx350 say: "Output voltage: 1.0V - 9.5V". (and wattage 5W - 30W)

did you try to make a "go down" test? for instance, set the minimum wattage (7W) while having a coil of 1ohm. it should try to set 2.64V to give that power.
the specs say minimum output voltage is 4V. so it can't do it. it might show an error/warning message, or it might deliver quite more than 7W for that coil, while keeping silence about what it is doing actually. if specs are right, and minimum output voltage is 4V, it is doing boost (like any wattage variable device), but not buck.

while sx350 IS doing buck. it can go down to 1V output. if it detects than it has to deliver less voltage than the battery can deliver, buck circuitry does it, with a limit of 1V (buck circuitry is "separated" from boost circuitry; if you try to design an unique circuit to make both boost and buck, the result isn't probably efficient).
this gives a good flexibility, but also efficiency.

this is not important for people who always vape higher than 10W, but it's important for me, who is starting and in transition permanently (testing one thing and another, trying to find my vest vape).


Edited: btw, i have another question; this is oriented to people who go beyond limits in power.. does the sxa300 have a bypass mode?

I made my first ever order with Focal on the 5th. Four days ago I sent a message asking if they knew when the order would be shipped as it has just said "collecting products now" since the 6th. They replied fairly quickly saying it would be shipped in 48 hours max but it wasn't :(

How do I cancel an order on there as I really do not want to wait any longer since the items are available elsewhere now. I see cancel on my order page but when I click it there no order to select to cancel, its just blank?

Thanks folks :)

I've known about the colors on the foggers for a while, been tempting to get a blue one to go with the blue hanaa, but not sure if the blues will match or look off, and also there is now the fogger v5 coming, which has deck holes in the posts to make it easier to mount coils and also top filling too.
If it really does have post holes I'm gonna be all over it!

It really does. But no screws just spring loaded push button. Press down, insert wire and let go. No sure how good of an electrical connection that will make though, so I've been waiting for hands on reviews.
