Thank you for this link ... I am also waiting on a package from Focalecig ordered Christmas, and I am DYING to get it! I need my Kraken and Caravela!!! Also have the Fogger V3 coming (going to review that too), and now the Marstech QQ .. so three packages total ... Burnie still has me beat with incoming vape Mail ... Burnie has everyone beat :laugh:

Well I am down to 7 incoming, Vape Mail Today. Got in an order from FT. Really like the Vivi Novas I got today, the center pin is spring loaded, really cool, don't have to worry about screwing it down too tight and pushing the center pin down on the battery. The coils sucked, over 3 ohms, put in a rebuilt and is vaping like crazy. Did not see them on FC per say, found one but does not say with spring, here are both.
$4.34 Big ViVi Nova Electronic Cigarette Atomizer-Black(3.5mL)
$3.10 VIVI NOVA Detachable Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizer for Ego (3.5mL) - black / 2.4

Yeah it looks nice, I wonder though if that firing button is lockable. I can just see it getting hit a lot with me the way it sticks out. I also wonder about the carto. In the pics it looks like it has an extension connection not he actual carto, so was wondering if it is a standard carto or proprietary?

No, its not proprietary, its a standard 510 to Ego threaded device so you can use whatever you wish with that type of threading ie: 510 Cartos, or an Ego threaded clearo.

As far as locking button, I cannot imagine that it would not ... I have never seen, or heard of a mechanical mod that doesn't have a locking mechanism for the fire button, especially a side fire button. But of course you should email Doris to make sure.

I ordered a kraken and a steam turbine and they took 7 days to ship and prolly 17th her to cali and the threads on the turbine were stripped. I got to talk to Doris right away on Skype, pretty cool, and she's taking care of it, is going to take a month, but they will prolly and me a new one..
Pretty much the same experience with fasttech.

Nikk! Order the pulse genny! I swear it's the first genny I ever had and I love it I have 3 now, single wick w a reducer, the best!

I just ordered a taifun and an ithaka from there and I also placed an order at FT same time same shipping methods but everything at FT was in stock and the two things from FC is 3-7 days processing so it's a snails race....let's see what happens. I am willing to bet even with the processingj time that FC beats FT here

Also looking to get one of their ithaka clones. Hoping it is one of the ones that works nicely. They only have one now


Well for you or anyone else who is considering a Focalecig purchase here is a 10% off coupon that Doris emailed me because I told her I was a member of ECF :D ... code: WELCOMEECFTOFOCALECIG , its good until February 8th with a minimum purchase of $5 :banana:

That was so nice of her to do, and I didn't even ask. :)

I really want the Pulse G, I just watched another review for it Sunday ... I have to get it! I have a UD AGI which is set up right now and it is hands down my best vape at the moment, so I am really feeling Gennies right now, and the chamber reducer on the Pulse is a nice +.... thanks for tempting me into another purchase :p

And its good to know that you can Skype with Doris, which I didn't know.

Oh cool ... Doris must be making her rounds, I also received the coupon code this morning via email. I thought it was sweet that she made one just for ECF.

This may be a stupid question but what does the reducer do? Just reduce the airflow?

Not a stupid question ... the reducer improves the quality of the vape by enhancing the flavor, and creating more warmth in the vapor because there is less space for the vapor to travel through, and so the vapor stays contained on its way up to the mouthpiece. One reviewer who compared it to the Kraken, which has also reviewed well, said that there is definitely a marked difference in the quality of flavor and warmth with the reducer and a single coil build. You can also remove the reducer for dual coil builds.

Genesis makers like Doc Dave also imploy this kind of "reduction" in how he designs his top caps for the Bliss and Steam Turbine. If you looked inside the top caps you could see that they are reduced in internal diameter to achieve the same effect as the Pulse G, minus the removable reduction piece.

See the reducer is held in by two screws and removable to run dual coils.

All good with the orders received one was a KFL and the other a KF, Swiss post seems to be quicker than SGP. Hoping your vapemail comes soon you have some nice vape gear on order there, vaping has certainly taught me patience! I bought alot of vape gear to start my vape journey being a new vaper .... now I have what I am happy with I will be learning some vape craft and enjoying some vaping.

The light was bad here today I took some quick pics of the KFL, it's nice but it's not a clone more a fake so to speak, I have Chinese genes being Eurasian I know all about how good they are at copying everything I laughed when I saw it! It's of higher quality than the TobreCo (I know it's ToBeCo it's my sense of humour) clone I got from FT but it was also more expensive and it's a straight KFL copy. The finish is a bit more brushed, it's all stainless, all the threads are tight comparable to a real Svoemesto KFL/KFL+, chimney and the drip tip fits snug (unlike the ToBeCos I have see) and the deck feels nice. It maybe made by EhPro but I don't know I wasn't aware they copied the box and seals exactly as the SM one! There are so many manufacturers now who knows? although the angled top piece suggests it's a known clone maker.

It doesn't come with a clear tank, personally I don't like them due to tank cracking and fragility (I have an Ithaka clone and it's very easy to break them there is always a risk of threading stainless steel onto plastic ;)

Thats some high quality machining on the deck plate, even the centre pin is looking gleaming :)

several of the better attys for flavor have reduced caps and it is catching on with many of the attys coming out today.

one of the best tasting attys ( to me) also has one of the smallest caps ever, the DID mini. i would be willing to speculate there is even less room then the pulse with the reducer. very warm but as rich as a dripper. this latest wave of geni's is really running with the concept and it rocks.

a good example of this for me is after using several smaller genis for some time i got the ZAP for the provari for the look (they didnt have prorings yet) and with the huge cap it tasted like warm air to me..

Yeah, I am loving the Genesis style right now ... including the proper ss mesh build for it. ;-)
