Well, just did read somewhere. Guy got screwed. PP did close his case with them, they officially washing there's hands for e-cigarette related product mailed in USA, Canada and not sure what is 3rd country. So... if Doris will respond to PP with detailing on product, who knows how it gona turn out.

Not an answer to you Nikkita, just thinking load.

Oh really?? .. Very interesting. Did someone post about it on this forum?? ... And Doris can respond to the Paypal case by asking the buyer to send back the device to China, which he would incur the cost for doing, which costs more than the device itself.

That is why it was stupid to open the case in the first place. He better pray that Doris is feeling nice, and just sends a replacement or a refund. Because he opened the Paypal case, the only thing she is REQUIRED to do as a vendor, is ask for the device to be shipped back, and then she can refund him .... in which case he would lose money on the $25 shipping cost back to China, and gain nothing because he only paid $23 for the Squape!

Doris can play the "cover my bases" game too if she wants. ;-)

Yay yay ... I saw that, and I am with you! I really like the Aqua alot, I just don't have the 21mm Origin to go with it. Don't you have the Origin Laylel? The Aqua was created to go with the Origin Mod. :)

O yes, i have origin, but its brass one... that's why i was dreaming about one in brass. Well i got this one anyway))) I was looking at it to long, so i just got it to stop this daily looking at it.
 
Ever since the shipping disaster at Fasttech began in October, I had been hoping that I could find some new, and reliable vendors out of China . After searching the internet, I found Focalecig.com, which appears to be a new e cigarette vendor, as I had not heard them mentioned on ECF before. Shortly there after I also noticed that Gotsmok.com frequently ran various promotional ads for them, and so I decided to check them out.

They carry a lot of the same products that Fasttech does (adding more products every week), and at comparable prices too. They have enough of variety that both new vapers, and intermediate/advanced vapers can find something that appeals to them ... I did a bit more internet searching and found that this vendor is somewhat known on a few UK ecig sites , and that they have a good reputation for reliability, and customer service. So after a few weeks of watching their site I finally decided to place my first order for a Kraken RBA, and Caravela 18350 Mod. There was another product that I was interested in, but had questions about, so I sent an email to to the contact address listed on their website and I received a very quick and courteous reply from the sale manager Doris, who answered all of my questions, and seemed very eager to please a new customer.

Focalecigs does offer free shipping on all orders .... The one thing to be aware of is that once you place an order, the order can only be tracked from your user account on the website as they do not send email confirmations for orders placed at this time. However, you would still receive an email confirmation of order/payment from Paypal. I checked my order today via their website and it is currently in the "processing" stage (order placed last night).

So far I have a very good feeling about Focalecigs, and I hope they turn out to be a reliable vendor because quite frankly I feel that Fasttech has way more business then they can handle at times, as items are frequently restocking with long delays, and their customer service has gone down because they have difficulty keeping up the with customer demand.

Once I receive my order I will come back with a review of the items I purchased, and overall service from this vendor, but so far it looks good ... and with my fingers crossed I am hoping Focalecigs will become the next Fasttech. #goteamcheapmod :p

Google Focalecig.com as the links do not work from ECF ... also here is a 10% off coupon code FOCALECIGSHARING

** another note ** their mech mods are categorized under the "ecig tools and accessories" sections

i went on the site and everytime i clicked on something i got asian porn ads?!

I received my Squape from Focal last week and it's a dud unfortunately.
After a couple of emails from Doris on Saturday, the replacement base was sent on Monday - very pleased with the way they've handled the situation.

Despite the faulty item, I'll be dealing with them in the future - they run their business in a very professional manner.

I think it was somewhere on FT forums or here FT related tread. And hi was talking about over $250, aha...

Well, i can see Doris just will send him money or replacement and she sounds a lot like really nice person and put all what she has for FC (not like someone like me - get what you wish for :evil:)

I've been busy working for the last bit but my kayfun lite clone came in, and as soon as i set it up it just leaks all the juice right out the airhole.... Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!! I emailed Doris and she wants pictures of what happened so that's next on the list. But I'm super fed up with these dang kayfun clones :-(

:laugh: ... Laylel, what are we gonna do with you? Just yesterday your head was spinning because you have so many new toys, but what takes that spinning away better than a new toy right? :p Well, at least you can justify it because you do have a Brass Origin, and you could always "torch treat" the Aqua and give it a nice gold color, which I think would look pretty ... ehhem, I mean handsome :lol:

But seriously, torch that baby and it would then match the brass Origin nicely ... there is a tutorial video on youtube for how to torch stainless steel to make it gold. :D

i removed the fill screw from the bottom, tilted it to 45, and filled it.... the way ive seen it always done. tightened the screw back up and flipped it over and put it on a mod and it leaked out as fast as it could...
I don't tilt mine, not sure if that makes any difference at all but I hold mine completely upside down, fill and leave a small space at the top (bottom when holding upside down) then put screw in and flip over. Also I am sure you know this but make sure your chimney and cap are tightened all the way.
As you know the air hole is under the chimney so unless it was flooded it would be hard to leak out the air hole located underneath the coil.
So seems liquid is feeding way too fast underneath the chimney. What are you using for wicking and can you post a pic? Nini posted some great pics on here a while back on the kayfun.

Wow I am chatty today....LOL
