Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[Nikkita6]

Thanks for the deets

with this specific build at this wattage, the vapor is very proficient even with a 50/50 (just got my wife's bottle of gambit to refill it just now)

flavor at first seemed a bit underwhelming with my Wicked Nectar from King of Clouds (vapor's knoll) but that's because I had the air hole wide open which is quite an airy draw

I really like this special tiger coil since I came up with it last week. 26 gauge is too much ramp up time on a DNA 30 device. flavor is great with a dual setup at 70+ watts in a dripper, but that build isn't really meant for an erlkonigin.

I had a small section of 30 gauge left (used the last of the spool) and wanted to increase the surface area even more so.

I have 2, 1 ohm coils now (net .5Ω). it's like 7/8 wraps. it's quite springy to work with but I just torched the bejesus out of it which helped.

only real problem is that the deck section is so small that you have to make sure your chimney doesn't make contact with your coils. as long as you keep that in mind, it's quite elementary

I remember my first build on the v1 being quite difficult. this build went in in under 2 minutes (counting the torching and squeezing)

I really like the ease of adding juice to this tank. I do wish one of the holes were larger for glass drippers. you'll have some "run-off" on the lip, but it's not hard to get the majority of it to go into the fill holes which are the same holes that the juice comes out of for wicking.

if I wanted to be extremely picky, I wished that the polished finish on the ring with the AQUA logo was the same finish as the deck/base. the chimney + top cap-like section have this finish, but for some reason they went with a brushed finish on the deck

also, the chimney/top-cap section has a weird indent on it. not all drip tips are going to match the device. I went with a taifun DT as I didn't have too many other options

with the air flow at about 1/2 the flavor is very good. mind you I'm comparing the flavor to the erlk and the lancia RDA

edit : in regards to juice consumption, I seem to be going through quite a bit since I got this. I think it's the ease of adding liquid and the quality of the vape that is really to blame. the lancia is a fantastic RDA, but with most drippers, adding juice can be quite a production as well as a mess.

mmmm Gambit

I got some perfectly timed vape mail today, The Cloupor T8 and the Samsung 25R's that I ordered to use with them. This order took way longer than usual to arrive, 18 days From tracking it looks like it got lost because it never showed being processed through sort facility, and when it finally did show up it hit Garden City first (Long Island, Nassau County) which my mail has never gone through .. and it stayed there for 3 days before moving on to. Usually my stuff is in and out of ISC NY within hours, not days of arriving.

Now, DHL is late with my IPV Mini Tracking sys that it is out for delivery but its still not here yet I was hoping to take pictures while it was still light outside.

Sounds like USPS is starting to treat New Yorkers like Floridians. Just got my DNA30 clone yesterday, took longer to get from NY to Miami than it did from China to NY. Acceptance in China on 11/19, hit ISC on 11/25 and made it in and out of Jamaica, NY the same day. Two days later on 11/27 it made it into Kearny, NJ, wherever that is. Made it out the next day but didn't make it to Florida until 12/02 and Miami the next day. 'Tis the season I guess.

BTW I'm jelly about the IPV Mini.

The Paragon clones are 20x.75 threaded, with the exception of Infinite's Paragon Midnight Edition clone, which is 20x1.

Saw that Five Pawns KFL this morning and snagged one. A combination of impulse buy and order before the cease and desist letters arrive. It helps that I actually like Five Pawns Castle Long Reserve...but I need another Kayfun like I need a hole in my head. Which is to say, not at all.

Hey, did you see my Aqua/Paps porn? I actually thought of you as soon as put it together, because I know that brass makes you tingle

And you really like CLR too? Ugh ... I think its a guy thing

my wife isn't a fan


oh, man, darn. More for me!!

Hush yo mouth! Don't you dare send that Floridian curse up here Even as I type this I am doing the Giraffe neck trying to see if that driving sound that I hear is DHL .. so far NOT!

Right now I am jelly of DHL because they have my package and I want it I still can't believe they are not here yet

 

[Nikkita6]

I have to blame someone, so, here goes: Your not good for my wallet. LMAO, Just days after I ordered another set of Panasonic 3400mah, batteries (and thats after days of battery shopping), I see this post, and google the 25-Rs. Much better reliability rating than my Panasonics.
My wallet does not like you.

I get that so much around here, so welcome to the club, you are officially an official temptee of the Goddess, muahahhahahaha

Would you by any chance know if that's the same threading that's on the FT SS Paps?

 

[roxynoodle]

Ugh, I'm pretty sure Paragons are 20x1 because several people have put them on their wotofo ZNAs ???

Someone put his HCigar carbon fiber Stingray on his, which is why I thought Stingrays were also 20x1. Maybe just that one is.

Threading is all over the place on clones. I have two Nemesis clones, both look identical, both have different threading. I had two Paps clones, one brass and one SS, both had different threading.

Unfortunately just because it worked for someone else doesn't mean anything in this Wild West environment.

Oh man I should use that as my avatar, then me and Weezy will really be like brother and sister

Not to mention you'd be in the Cat Avi Club, like so many of us.

It is the milkshake isn't it.
The source of these powers you speak of?

 

[cindycated]

Now on the DNAs: why is the 30 more expensive than the 50? Is there something wrong with the 50?
I've been looking at RED boxes...

Nope, it's the Kool-Aid.

I wondered the same thing when I ordered one a couple of weeks ago. Looking at the pictures of the inside the stickers, the battery solder points, and the hot glue is different so I'm guessing a different manufacturer or different manufacturing line. Without any positive feedback I decided to play it safe and ordered the 30, been bitten by janky China stuff too much lately.

 

[roxynoodle]

Well, the Paragon fits on the Wotofo. So I'm going to say it has 20x1 threading. It does leave a gap on there, so not the best look. But, I'm going to hope the Aqua works on it. If it doesn't I will get those hybrid connectors.

Those little IN'AX NANO's with the ceramic wicks look very interesting! But my concern is the ceramic wicks, how good is the vape on them and how do you clean the wicks? My thought was these would also be great for testing your DIY mixes but I wonder if you vape one flavor then drip another will the first still linger and mess up your perception of what your juices taste like? I have a couple small drippers and the flavor from a new juice dripped will switch right over with a couple draws but that's wicked with rayon.

BTW I bought one of those Plume Veil's that was on the last group buy, wow that little guy is amazing! Very well made and with the three different air flow controls you can really zero in flavor, even with one basic wick. It is a little weepy from the bottom air holes, nothing major unless you over drip but because of the performance it's well worth putting up with. I have read the originals were the same way.

I googled the nano and thought what's the big deal, that's a more-or-less normal sized atomizer- I didn't realize it was a complete setup w/atomizer, battery case and all! They will sell a lot of them, I'll wager.

BTW SlickWilly, my Plume Veil came a while ago. Very nicely done especially considering the price. It works real well once I understood how the airflow ports work. I found that turning the drip tip to open the top plastic (delrin?) inner sleeve improved the flavor of my DIY RY4 (25/75 PG/VG, 3 mg nicotine) considerably. I used a combined 1 ohm dual coil wicked w/rayon and blew the biggest clouds ever, noting this is my first dripper. I think next I'll try it w/a single coil using the single coil air hole. I'm sure there will be many more different builds to follow... now, if the FT Kraken would finally get here I'd be all set. For a minute, at least!

I do love my REO Grand. All the flavor of dripping with a bottom feeder, and basically one stop shopping. Get the Mod there, and the RBA pre drilled for bottom feeding.

Nope, it's the Kool-Aid.

Nah, I have read up on Jamestown. I know better than to drink the Kool-Aid.

I'm about to jump on the IN'AX Nano... just waiting for Doris to restore my $10 coupon code, again. Added the coupon to a cart which I later deleted and I guess it marked the coupon as being used. I'm actually pretty stoked for the Nano. FT released them today for a few dollars less but I'll order from FC since I have the coupon. The FT discussions are pretty informative.

 

[PLANofMAN]

it's absolutely my favorite

you could check out thesteamco.com for their clone of the CLR. little easier to stomach the price. I've had like 8 bottles of the gentlemen's reserve

I'll do that. Thanks.

I'll look for it, and yes, it must be a guy thing.

Would you by any chance know if that's the same threading that's on the FT SS Paps?

I think so, not 100% sure though.

Ugh, I'm pretty sure Paragons are 20x1 because several people have put them on their wotofo ZNAs ???

Someone put his HCigar carbon fiber Stingray on his, which is why I thought Stingrays were also 20x1. Maybe just that one is.

The original Paragon is 20x1, FT's 1:1 clone isn't, and the regular paragon clones are too short to use on the ZNA's. If you see a Paragon tube on a ZNA, it's almost certainly a V2 midnight edition, which has a longer tube/different switch housing.

Porn Love Aqua V2 in hybrid with GP Paps clone

Found it! Looks good. I think I'll put one of the Aquas I'm getting on my Le Petit Gros clone mod. I'm loving that setup with the Kayfun, finally, no way to block the airhole!

I plan to put the other Aqua on a PAPS though.
