Sorry I can't help .. literally everything that I want is not available for sale yet :cry: The Yihi SX Mini, I NEED IT :cry: .. get one of FT's Erlkonigin clones and tell us how it is. I am waiting for Amod's Erl clone, it comes with two tanks.

The Vapor Flask clone that is in production is a total FAIL! I was initially told that it was a V2, but turns out its the V1 with pre-installed batteries which is no bueno, especially coming from China which will surely be some cheap and janky ICR batteries :facepalm:
Should I start reconsidering again, or patiently wait to see what the lovely Nikki/Doris duo will surprise us with?

Did she mention anything about a nano version? I almost pulled the trigger on the FT one but I know others will be released soon and I'm hoping we see nano version.

No, she didn`t. I haven't seen a Nano Version on ali so far. Unfortunately I had ordered 2 Erlkonigin at FT already, before I got the info. I guess Nano versions and Nano kits will arrive later.

Edit: Too late, Nikki did it already ;)

Ok so I got the Squape R on Tuesday I think, but never posted any pics .. Nor have I built it yet but I put it on the Robbot ZNA to see how it would look, and I like it on the ZNA even a little more than the Rose, but I am talking looks though being that I haven't built it yet. The build quality is very good based on first impression, the AFC ring moves easily and that 3.2mm air hole is looking mighty enticing so I need to get this built soon and give her a go...
Yeah, yeah. Rub it in over those of us who're sitting here staring at gathering order for weeks ;)

Looks nice on the robbot. Wish I had a working one :( At least with my new phone I'll be able to take the video 11 wants before they'll replace it. Word of warning for those with the robbot ZNA... If the battery tube keeps turning once its reached the point where it should have stopped stop turning the tube because you might destroy the ZNA otherwise. I'm guessing that a wire got twisted almost to the point of breaking (or a lousy soldier joint failed) when I kept turning. So now it doesn't work :cry:

Shut the front door! I don't like lipo batteries either, that is why I am turned off from the Vapor Flask V1 clone .. Say it isn't so? I don't see how a lipo is going to handle sub ohms and high watts, it just doesn't calculate for me. :(

I also read on the other forum in one of the SX Mini threads that the first batch with 18650s went out to vendors so I don't know what's really going on.

I'm gonna wait for FC erlkonigin to arrive before I decide which one to get. Please let us know how the FT are when they arrive.

Looks really good on the ZNA Nikki ;)

Now get that thing built and loaded, want to see if your thoughts are like mine on it, you know I wasn't a fan of the squape v1 clone I got, but loving this reloaded one, and be interested to see what you think of it compared to the rose.

I will say the air flow is awesome on the 3.2 hole, but I found I lost flavor too, I am using the 3rd largest hole on mine.

I must have been in a stinky mood on the day I got it, I literally opened the box, picked out one of the extra decks, and then put it away :laugh: I am finalizing pics for the Robbot review and thought the Squape would be nice for my final photo .. all of a sudden I am excited about it, and I can't wait to vape some Beefcake in this bad boy.

Probably won't get built until Monday .. I am all over the place today, and I just received an email from China on a new product that is has got me all worked up right now .. I must have it for review, but I am not gonna mention what it is though .. at least not yet! :p

In other news, there is yet another ZNA 30 clone on the scene, made by a company called Electhinker/China ... VC ran a deal on it today, and so now I am intrigued by that also. You would think I would be over all of these ZNA's but I am still interested in the comparisons. And, and ... I have yet another clue about this 4R7 chip that Hao sheng is using in their Vapor Flask clone, because this new ZNA has the 4R7 30W chip .. which doesn't tell me much, but I honestly thought that Hao sheng had made this 4R7 chip up from their imagination, but I guess not. :confused:

You see .. its the same confusion with the Vapor Flask clone .. first they told me it was V2 self service battery, then they said its the V1 with lipo battery, then when I said I that I felt a lipo battery was a bad idea, they said its two 18650's :glare: ... Not sure I want to chance it because the V1 is welded shut with a metal plate on top of the internals once assembled and it cannot be opened as per Hao sheng.

FC was all set and ready to get the Vapor Flask but I told them not to because I think its a bad idea considering the conflicting information they are passing out, and since the user cannot open it to verify exactly what is inside ... just doesn't seem good. :( Thoughts?

Doris said the new and qc improved batch is arriving early next week, so at least you will be able to get a replacement quickly when its all said and done :)

And sorry, don't mean to taunt about the Squape, which is the other reason that I didn't post to much about it, I didn't want to torture my peeps :laugh: Nailz is not as merciful as I am :p

Well .. that all depends on how open you are? :D Are you dead set on a particular form factor? .. FC does have another high watt device on the horizon that is ordered and paid for, but I am sworn to secrecy for the moment. :cry:

And I was made of something else today that is potentially very awesome, but FC knows nothing about it yet .. After I speak with the manufacturer and confirm specs, etc, if it sounds as good as I think it is then I will happily pass the info to FC to see if they are interested for themselves :D

The SX Mini pre-sale at Kidney Puncher is for a different mod made by BCModz, not the YiHi SX Mini. It's a Hana mini style device that uses the SX-350 chip.

ETA: Can't believe the research queen missed that one. :D (running away ducking and hiding)

Guess patience it is. Darn, I'm not very good at that. :(

Not dead set on anything, but the Sigelei 50W is very pleasing to me in its simplicity and size. Their 100W has the dual batteries which the way I would use it means never having to worry about battery life during the day, but you loose the size appeal. This dilemma is what has kept me from ordering one already.

For now I'll just sit here in frustration and wait to see what that mysterious Doris shipment brings. :unsure:

Glad to hear that the restocked Robbot ZNA's batch has some better QC on them. Doris emailed me that they should arrive at the U.S. warehouse on Wed and that mine should ship out within 24hours after they arrive. So hopefully by next weekend I should be vaping on one too ;)

That is because the research Queen never went over to Kidney puncher to check it out :glare: By the time that you read this post you will see that it is 4am, and I just finished writing my review, so there fresh kitty! :p

Well .. to increase your frustration, what FC has coming is much nicer than the Sigelei 50W, and if you like that, then you should love this ... but then again you like ugly stuff so you may not agree :laugh: Now the one that I am going to do everything in my power to convince D-nice to get (crying, harassing, stalking, threats, whatever it takes), you may or may not be interested in .. although you should be because I said so! :laugh:

Just think "delayed gratification" :D

I sure hope so Drifter :) .. I have zero complaints about mine, and I am very sincere when I say that I like the Wotofo, but I love the Robbot ZNA. So I really hope that Robbot pulled it all together on this batch, based on what I have in hand that is clearly possible. And that being the case the I can't imagine that you would be unhappy with it, its so sexy feeling. I fondle it constantly or as inswvra would say "fat fingering it" :laugh:
