We should for sure start some sort of self help/support group for addicted to shopping vapers, because I have issues too!... when do we begin?
Hi, My name is Burnie, and I am addicted to buying Cool looking stuff I don't really need, and I know my CC by heart.
vape On
Burnie
You ARE SO LUCKY!! I heard that shipping to LA from China could be really fast. Doris was telling me that she had a customer in CA who received his shipment in 5 days!! So clearly she was telling the truth... now I just need to move to Cali
Please tell me how your Kraken from Focalecig was? I ordered a Kraken too, and Nikki wants it bad!!
I used to be a addict, but my wife threaten to shove my justgg up you know where if I didn't stop. Sure hope she doesn't find out about the VB and FT orders
.. Nothing like a Woman who can lay down the Law, and likewise there nothing like a Man that can find his way around it! Shop on, and vape happy!! Until your wife finds out that is. ;-)I have only one, absolute hate on the Kraken (probably not just the Kraken, either): The whole idea of wrapping the positive coil wires around the center post. It is soooooo freakin' frustrating to me, to get them both lined up and tightened down properly. especially since we all know a loose wire is the ultimate danger-zone thing. Will probably set my mighty ShopSmith up in drill press mode and drill out the post on this, the turbine and my IGO-L while I'm at it.
Otherwise;
Absolutely, positively, loving the Kraken. Got it wrapped dual, for a total of .5 ohms. (running a Sony 18650 VTC4 30A battery for safety margin) Filled with my first order of Custard's Last Stand. Couldn't for the life of me get the dang SS mesh to roll tight enough to fit the holes, so just went with a "U" shaped 2.5mm silica wick for now. Airflow control on this thing is freaking A-Maz-Ing. Dialing in exactly what you want for airflow is so smooth.....
On the Maraxus, for anyone who is interested:
Build quality is excellent, takes a little getting used to, as every piece of this thing is adjustable. For the most part, you telescope the center "gold" tube to accommodate your battery. If, for some reason your atty has a slightly "off" connector length, you can tweak the top ring, so the atty will always sit flush. One oddity, not really a knock for me, is that on the top "claw", the edges between the claws are not smoothed over at all. They are a really sharp 90-degree angle. In a way, it kinda makes it feel like it would prevent it from slipping, if that makes sense.

Now that I have expended all my wind for the day, hope that helps.....
I genuinely have to fight myself to stop buying them, with all their delicious power, and different color shrink wrap. But then I could always resell the excess to Burnie because he knows his credit card # by heart, and has major shopping issues too, and so he is kinda like a partner in crime, an enabler to this addiction, and in which case I do not have to bear the guilt and shame alone ... where is Burnie? ... prolly typing his credit card # into an order page as speak!

. So how difficult is it to plate something?? Me, I just ordered some swarovski crystals to pretty up my Beautiful drawtube mod, but not in the crystal everywhere sort of way. I am going to inlay them into the dimpling around the top and bottom caps. I think I will wait and see how those pan out long term for people. I have not had good luck with EFest surviving long so far.
Well aren't you just Mr. fancy Modder! ... and I am jealous
Speaking of Mods ... has anyone checked out the new hybridish Tank/Mod over on Focalecig? Its made by Marstech, it comes in several different colors, and based on the specs its got quite a bit of weight to it @184 grams. Its a carto tank and side fire button Mod. This Marstech has also produced a Kayfun lite clone too, and it looks pretty good.
I spotted the QQ and KK which seem to be both about the same, like a K100 with a side button and a matched DCT, looks quite good and I do like the weight of the K100's, whatever else them 100's were pretty well built, the QQ looks like it could be able to take hybrid tanks as it has a 510 plate which is pretty cool if it could
Dunno about the name QQ as in World of Warcraft (yes I am a sinner there too) means to be a crybaby lol
The KFL clone looks exact same as Vaporbreaks wrongly branded Russian but with free shipping it probably is cheaper than VB, its the same price as FT with free shipping there but FT have got a long delay on stock there and with new year coming to China, likely to see it the wrong side of Feb if u got it from FT, what is funny is FastTech has already discontinued the cheaper Aqua clone this evening, ppls not pleased as the cheaper version was allegedly the better version with the red o rings and extra parts... oh dear
Quick question on Focale, they have a Kayfun there branded as a real Svemaesto for $49, is that the real deal one?
Plating is dead easy I found, Scott Bonner has a vid on his youtube channel where he gold plates parts of his Provari, my kit cost £36 and my daughters are worried I am going to start gold plating the baby cats or something as went a bit nuts with it hehehehe
How the heck do you get two days out of their 350s? I use two in one day... Only bought them because I thought I could stack them in my VTR(and yes, I read a lot about stacking IMR 18350s in protected mods first) but they didn't fit, so I just use them in my smoktech pipe.
