awesome Nik! I sooooo want a V2 Flask :) it would round out my regulated collection ;) oh, on a side note my rDNA 40 shipped today :headbang:

I hear ya Nelson, before there was the Zero there was the V2 Flask :D The owner of VC is actually sending me a rDNA40 for review, so we will have to compare notes. This one is not really my taste, but I am looking forward to trying an authentic Evolv chip .. I wish it was the dna 30 because that way I could some direct comparisons with the dna 30 clone chips.

Let me know your thoughts when you get it :)

Got the brass Stingray I ordered when it was on sale about 3 weeks ago, very disappointed. What shipped is not what was displayed on the web. The page shows a normal Stingray with a typical Stingray switch and floating 510 center pin top cap, what shipped had a double screw adjustable top cap and a funny looking switch. The finish is different also, but I don't care about that. Oh well, guess you get what you pay for.

This is the SKU on FC's site: $25.38 Stingray Style Mechanical Mod - Golden(1x18350/18500/18650)

This is what I received:

Eww, that switch and top cap is NO for me .. Let me know if you will need some Gangsta style assistance to get this resolved. Its not ok to send out anything other than what is pictured and paid for. I would be a little annoyed at this :facepalm:

Thanks for the offer hun, I already sent Doris an email with pics. Let's see what she has to say before I plead for assistance from Special Forces. :D

Initially I thought about following proper channels and sending it to Eleven, but I couldn't decide which would be more annoying: keeping what they sent me, or dealing with Eleven. :facepalm:

P.S. I hate to admit it, but you were so right. Off site image hosting is so much better than dealing with ECF's crappy image gallery thingy. :blush:

Probably easier with my Dremel. I'll probably use it for a few days before I start messing with it. I'm expecting to completely gut it, mod it and then rewire it so it isn't so cluttered inside. Might end up with a DNA 40 after I'm done :D.




Either freeze it and chip away with a flat head screwdriver or soldering iron.

I used wire cutters (like mini scissors) to clean up the excess hot glue on mine. It might help you too.

Once I get a VF2, I will be done buying, I will completely happy with what I have and not want anything else.....................................yea right :laugh:
You just made me remember when I first started vaping with my Vivi Nova and ego. I thought that the next week I would buy another similar setup to have a backup, then I would never have to buy hardware again. I even calculated how much extra money I would have from not having to buy cigarettes. :D :D

    Is it ok to ask people for good wishes? I had the glucose tolerance test today. I think I'm diabetic :( I really reacted badly to the high glucose drink they give you. I was really dizzy and nauseated for an hour afterward. Stupid test took 4 hours, too. I felt like death by the time it was over.

    Yes and sending you some good wishes, hope your feeling better soon :)

    Couldn't you ask them for the DNA 30 (the little one) for the review? PBusardo got both to compare in his review.

    I don't think side cutters would get all the glue. Maybe a utility knife or razor blade. I'll have a better idea if I ever get it in my hands :)

    You have my best wishes and a little prayer for both of us. I'm not far behind you, just haven't done the test. There are things I'm better off not knowing. ;)

    HEADS UP ....

    I just got finished talking to Yosen and they confirmed that they are only selling the black glossy sleeve at the moment, they don't even have black carbon fiber sleeves in stock :mad:

    I asked them why they listed the black carbon fiber for sale on their website, and there are no photos of the black glossy Special Edition sleeve? Of course no answer :glare: I just sent FC the same heads up because there is nothing on their website that sys black glossy. If you have ordered a black carbon fiber sleeve I suggest you get in contact with FC to cancel if black glossy is not what you really want.

    Yosen said they won't even have black carbon fiber for another month :facepalm:

    I understand that feeling, too.

    But, maybe medication will help me feel better. I get lightheaded after I eat, I'm always hungry and utterly exhausted all the time. Would also be nice to get back to an average weight. I can't explain how cold winter is if you are underweight. And I'm going into this one with a deficit again. Of course this could also all be due to my pancreatitis/colitis, and maybe I'm not diabetic yet.

    Thanks for letting us know. Not sure I want glossy black. I will look at them all and decide.

    I bought an HCigar stingray with a top cap like that. I don't like it. But the switch is really nice.

    Hmm, I would rather get the black carbon fiber or brushed black. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel the sleeve. Or cancel and get the grey.

    Cancel it if black glossy is not what you want because Yosen just confirmed that they don't even have black carbon fiber .. I highly doubt that FC knew this because they have been selling the black carbon based off of Yosen's product page and photos .. so annoying.

    :laugh: I don't think I have that option to ask for a DNA 30 hun .. I am not even sure where VC got the rDNA from. Pbusardo has way more pull than I do, at least with American manufacturers :p But China, I got this all day :laugh:

    ... <snip> ... I already sent Doris an email with pics. Let's see what she has to say ... <snip> ...
    UPDATE: Doris already replied (wow, that was fast). It seems they had no clue their supplier changed the item without telling them. She has already stopped selling it and is awaiting an explanation from them. Service like this is why I prefer to deal with FC. :thumb:
