Thanks for the heads up hun :) .. I will prolly keep my build within the .7-1.0 ohm range. Unless I miscalculate like I did with the Aqua V2 :p

I meant to build the Aqua at 1.0 dual coil, ended up with .5 dual coils :laugh: I have never vaped an RTA this low before and I must say that I am L.O.V.I.N.G the Aqua. And strangely enough I am loving this Doctor Custard e-liquid that I received for review, that I was actually avoiding because I usually cannot stand custard juices. This is so damn yummy!

Also, I don't know if its my imagination but this Aqua is really good on juice for a dual coil set up. I vaped a 4ml tank from 5pm until 3:30am when I went to bed and I still had about a 1ml of eliquid left.

Did I mention how utterly sexy looking the Aqua is on everything? So I don't care where you all get it from, but you need to get the Aqua V2 .. just make sure that its a good version and I don't see how anyone could not love it. So far what I would say is different from the V1 is the V2 is a less wet/moist vape.

My only grip with the Aqua is the fill holes around the chimney bell .. you will need a syringe or needle nose bottle to fill it. You will not be using a dropper and a bottle with a round tip. My custard juice is in a dropper bottle so I have to break out the syringe from the DIY box to fill.

Good thing Doris sent me a new deck for my Hobo. I had been using the original deck in the meantime even though it was kind of janky. Got the new deck yesterday but didn't get around to building it. Well, last night I was vaping off the old deck and it just stopped firing. After removing my build, I discovered I had fried the insulator.

I was using a single coil, .35ohm build on a mech so it's not like I was making crazy power. I'm not sure why it happened or, for that matter, why it won't fire. The positive block is not in contact with the deck anywhere. Other than the small melted spot, the insulator is fine. I don't have my DMM with me to check for continuity. Guess I'll do that tonight.

Ms. Nicole - just something to look out for with yours, I guess. I have a copper Hobo from FT with a dual coil .25ohm build in it so I'll need to watch that one closely as well.

What is everybody seeing for "processing" time with in-stock items from China location? Site states "Processing time is less than 48hours for single purchase" -- but I'm now at one week. And their support staff seems MIA (despite auto-response saying "Please rest assured that we will get back to you timely once we back to work !") .

So, "Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??"


No, absolutely not. I've placed two subsequent orders with Fasttech -- and they've already shipped. And Focalecig, if you can't keep promises, don't make them. Change your website to say, "We'll ship sometime in the distance future", and "Don't bother us for Support".

And yeah, I'm a little ......... Not a good experience for a new customer, and not one I will be eager to repeat.


What did you order? Usually when a listing says ships in 48 hours that is exactly what happens. Not sure what the deal is with your order but this is the Holiday season so everything usually slows down.

The lack of response to your inquiry is both unusual and unacceptable, so your ...... offness is warranted. But for the record, exactly what you have said about FC has also been said about FT too .. it can go both ways for both companies, and it has.

@inswva .. Did you get a janky tracking # with you IN'AX shipment? I am assuming that yours also shipped, and FC did send a shipping confirmation but the tracking # was all numbers and no letters :confused: I already sent Doris a skype to ask what gives, but I figured I would ask you how your tracking # appeared.

Well, that's true. I wouldn't have expected 48 hour "processing" if they hadn't set that expectation. Order is just one item, the AMod/Wotofo Erlkonigin. Appears FC staffs only one shift. Are they staffed on weekends?

BTW, did you know Amazon and USPS are now making Sunday deliveries?

    Oh shoosh about the aqua v2, mine had a expected delivery date as today, but still just shows it departed NC in the early hours of the 10th and now nothing else, really hoping it turns up tomorrow, so have time to play with it.

    Good to hear it vaping well at 0.50ohms, as you know that is my desired build ;)

    Mine is all good. Starts with "LN" as usual and now has a status of accepted.

    Oh the Amod Erl :rolleyes: Not that this will make it better, but I had also ordered that one and it took almost two weeks to ship. I've had it for a few weeks now, but it took a long time. I thought they had worked out whatever the issue was when I ordered mine.

    FC does not work on Saturday and Sunday, although Doris sometimes comes in for a few hours on a Saturday. Today is Saturday in China .. No I didn't know that USPS was delivering on Sundays, I only knew that they were sending certain packages via the scenic route :laugh:

    Doris is in major trouble now :mad: And FYI I will take you out Nathan if I have to :glare: I hope someone was just slipping while entering my tracking number :cry:

    You know, Doris is like my BFF now that I'm not complaining about janky product... she probably moved my shipment straight to the top. Want me to put in a good word for you? :ohmy:

    UPS started doing that a number of years ago during the holiday season. There were just too many packages to get delivered even with extended Monday thru Friday hours. At first it was just Saturday but then they added Sundays too. Then USPS did Sundays for the last few years at least for the same reason. Just too many Xmas package deliveries.

    Nathan I will keel you if you get too close to my baby :evil: And to pour salt on my wounds Doris told me that because the IN'AX was under $20 beans they shipped it without tracking :cry: My VIP status is not meaning ish these days :laugh: But she did offer to resend it with tracking, to which I said no of course. Welp, this will be my first no tracking order ... oh joy :unsure:

    I had issues with mine also burnt that sukka up on build 2. kept getting plastic taste also. I removed the center pin and the top insulator which was RUBBER yes rubber. So what I did was I broke my fogger v4 down and removed the lower peek insulator that goes in the 510 (bottom). It fit in the top of the hobo but it was a little tight for the top copper post. I drilled it out to 5/32 and it workd. The pic bellow is the rubber insulator and the atty on the left is the fogger with the parts robbed from it.

    Hope that helps some

    I officially need to say no to receiving anything new at the moment .. but I need to get the Kanger Subtank though :laugh:

    Im new here so about the review thing where do you do them? Here or youtube? I would like to catch up on what happening.

    Darn, wish I hadn't read that. I'm loving the Billow at 0.5-0.6, but she's a juice guzzler. Guess I need to add the Aqua to my list.

    I'm not thrilled with my Billow's flavor even though I love the same build in my Orchid, 0.4 ohm. I'm going to rebuild it this weekend and try 0.6 ohm. Do you have an Orchid? If so, how are you finding the Billow flavor in comparison?
