I bought one from there when they still had the "GP" logo. they still look the same other than NO logo.... the one I have is the best mech I own! I use it all day every day :) well, now that my rDNA 40 is here that might change ;)

Yup. I really, really liked mine too i just don't use them anymore because i bought an authentic. Wish i could pass them along here but it has the logo so don't want to break the rules.

I think Doris is hooking me up big time on my POS Hobo clone. She at first offered to replaced the deck. I replied that I preferred a refund. She in turn replied that a refund would be issued within 48 hours (without requiring me to return the defective item) *and* will include a new deck with a future order.

She also stated they inspected some of the other Hobos in stock and none had the deck issues mine has. So Ms. Nicole, yours may be good to go. Guess I'll go ahead and order the Lancia from China so Doris can toss in the new Hobo deck. I'll say this for FC, the products aren't always awesome but I've had nothing less than terrific customer service.

EDIT: so, since Doris is hooking a brother up, I decided to go ahead and build the Hobo, flaws and all. I double o-ringed the deck to properly align the airflow cutouts. Rocking it in single coil mode on my Sig100 at 35W. I have to admit, the thing vapes great inspite of the manufacturing deficiencies. Massive flavor in single coil mode. It's not hucking fog with this build but it is producing the flavor.

That is good to hear on both fronts :) .. After I saw your post I sent Doris a very long skype sermon about why they should consistently source from known manufacturers, yadda, yadda, yadda. She replied the same as she told you, that she had the warehouse check all remaining pieces and said they were all good, so I hope that mine is as well. Although I have to be honest in that I primarily ordered it for porn purposes :blush: I have some serious black on silver action planned for a very expensive clone of a insanely expensive authentic :p

*whispers* And I am going to use the white AFC for the sweet 1:1 clone of a mod that rhymes with maxis ... shhh

The Viggo was a good dripper, but the center post insulator is trying to escape. Safer to keep it as a porn only atty. Good luck modding the PV.
Yeah, I saw the center insulator photo... not pretty. BTW, nothing's wrong w/the Plume Veil's airholes, the problem was w/ME not knowing what air holes were supposed to line up w/what passages.

Welp, I ruined my Vanilla mod clone. Locking ring got stuck and I hastily tried to dislodge it with my (previously) tried-and-true towel & pliers technique, stripping the firing button threads. At least it was cheap (and wasn't that great to begin with).

I think I hear the new group buy calling my name...

    Hope so, I ordered a silver DNA 30 from FC thinking of the Billow. I hope they get along. :) The only problem is that I don't get home till late tonight, so I won't get a chance to play with it till tomorrow. :(

    I got my blue one a few days ago. It's more turquoise than blue. The pause to fire from sleep is kind of annoying and making me want to upgrade sooner rather than later. The buttons aren't installed straight but works fine and doesn't move. The 510 isn't adjustable but the threading is pretty nice. If I had to do it again, I'd probably order the good one from FT (not the value versions which I think are the same as FC's).

    Received the Blue DNA 50 today. Trying it out at 35watts with the group buy Plume Veil at dual 0.7Ohm. Loving both of them. The DNA 50 wakes up faster than the previous DNA 30, in less than 1 second. Everything else looks the same as the DNA 30 except the led hole besides the usb charging port showing charge status. I like it better than the ZNA 50 I got from FT. Adding the SS 510 connector with adjustable copper center pin (also from FT) is a plus.
