does anyone know if this company's batteries are genuine?

We have used Focalecig successfully for all our 18650 battery purchases since November. I would almost be certain our green Panasonic 2900PFs and 3400Bs are genuine. :thumb:

There is a Certificate of Authorization under the Panny/Sanyo products' information tab on the FC site.
I haven't noticed a COA anywhere before and and am not sure what weight it carries but we found it reassuring.

Thanks for answering that Budd! :)

looks like its a tie between FT and VB as both orders are at post office. I didn't get home from work until 230. I had to be up at 530 to eat and go to work for 630 so I couldn't get them. So I will be getting them tomorrow. Im a little concerned by the few VB post I read that said they received empty boxes.

I just talked to a customer service rep (have to give them props on that). I am looking at the sony vtc4 or the Samsung INR-20r. I don't plan on pushing subohm too low, but i'd rather be safe. She said the cells are genuine, but the whole battery is not, because it is not made in korea. Anyone know what that means? Anyone used either of these batteries from Focalecig/wallbuys?

I wouldn't bother getting batteries from china they need to be shipped thru Malaysia or something like that and it takes much longer to get them. You can buy the sony's for like $7 each in USA and for like 5 bucks more have them in a few days. Unless your not in USA then ignore my post. lol

where are they that price? I cant seem to find them anywhere in stock for less than $10

Kraken clone, X9 dct tank, wool and wire all arrived intact and spot on to tracking timetable, that $13 Kraken is lovely looking but the screws are a touch loose, done a hard and fast u wick and its sitting there gleaming after a good run over with the Duraglit wadding but letting it wick up a bit before going for a proper test vape.

X9 tank is also soaking up a bit, cost about six dollars and is a little gem to fill with the fill ports and very clean design so thats a plus too :)

What I liked about Focal too is that the Origin brass I ordered they managed to get it to the carriers before the holidays set in and its on its way through customs, so they got my business for the foreseeable and I have asked Paypal to retrieve my money from VaporBreak who I was really pleased with but just ignored my emails and attempts to speak with them :(

Excellent! ... You know, last night I was feeling like this Kraken is a beast ... maybe too much of a beast in that it hits much harder than my other Genesis, to the point that I was couging a lot. I couldn't take my usual long, lung inhales with it, only mouth inhales... I need to figure out what I can do to make it hit softer, maybe build it with cotton? But it could also be the combination of the Caravela which is a hard hitter, and the Kraken.

Is the X9 the cartotank? I am looking forward to filling and trying the carto tank of the Marstech, the form factor of the device was surprising, it is well put together, nicer than the pics.

Looking forward to hearing what you say about the brass Origin Mod ... I love the look of brushed brass mods when they are new, but I have steered clear of them because I am not into the patina finish they develop, and not sure I am up for the polishing needed to keep it pretty.

Ok so here are some pictures of the Marstech QQ cartotank mech mod, and a T3 clearomizer ... I haven't used it yet, but I took it all apart, the initial impressions are very good. It feels solid, all the threads work well, no ill fitting parts, and two nice surprises which were a floating 510 center pin on the carto tank, and a removable drip tip which means you can use other 510 drip tips (2 out of 3 that I tried worked well, good fit) ... oh, and I remember someone asking if the fire button had a lock, and the answer is yes it does.





I also liked that the cartomizer is double punched, and you can dissemble the entire tank ie: top and bottom cap, tank, and carto for cleaning ... the telescopic tube squiks a little when adjusting, but moves in and out with ease, no sticking.

The T3 clearomizer is well made, equal in quality to the Kanger Evod and the like ... from what I can see, the coil head is positioned nicely inside of the clearo, so hopefully this will make for good wicking, and a vape similar to the Evod, but I still have to fill and use. All in all it looks really good, and I am not disappointed based on initial impressions, and I shall return will an update/review after I actually use it. :)


The Mastech T3s shows one picture in their description as a Kangertech T3s. Is yours Mastech if so will it use the Kanger coils?
What shipping method are you people using. Thanks much

If you look closely as the photo I posted, you can see that the T3 is etched with Marstech T3, and I just checked because you asked, and yes, the Marstech T3 base does accept and fits perfectly with Kanger coils (Evod short stem, and Kanger long stem coil head) .. looking at the Marstech coil, side by side with the Kanger coil, they are identical .. I will post pics later this afternoon and post them.

And the shipping method used is Epacket via China Post which is awesome!! I know they will use Swiss Post or Malaysian Post for lithium batteries, but other than that everything is Epacket ... I love Epackets, the last one got here in 7 days, although it can take longer (prior one took 12days). But I have also seen recent reports on Fasttech forum of other 7 day Epacket deliveries within this week.

*** New Focalecig Promotions ***

Every time I try to get out, they pull me right back in!:blink:

There is the "Vaping is a Journey" Year of the Horse promotion (copy and paste to your browser)

http://e.focalecig.com/Subject/VapingisaJourney/Default.html

So much good stuff on this one .. The Ithaka w/logo is $24.52, Fogger V3 $24.32, all Kanger glassomizers $6.99-11.99, Ego Twist VV 9.53, Marstech Mod 16.50, 510 disposable ecig for .89 cents ... there is too much on that page to list, but its a poor man's dream :laugh:

And there is the Group Buy promotion for the much loved Nemesis Mechanical Mod $19.90 :ohmy: and Kanger Protank II for 9.99 (you will probably have to cut and paste this link as well) And I believe that you have to "buy" from this page in order to get the Group Buy price?? I think :unsure:

http://focalecig.com/groupbuy/

Please note that whatever you purchase from these promotions WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL AFTER THE CHINESE HOLIDAY IS OVER. However, buying it now will secure the promotional price.

Can you believe of all the things on this promotional list, it's the 510 disposable that has my attention? :facepalm: ... its so cute, and it brings back found memories of the old days :laugh:

So Nikkita6 how are you like the marstech QQ. Also I don't see an option for epacket post? I just see Hong Kong post that has the hummingbird on it,

Hi darling ... Epacket (free shipping) is automatically chosen when you purchase, it is the EUB division of EMS shipping, so you don't have to select it. And as far as the Marstech QQ aside from my initial impressions, I haven't used it yet, but I will begin within the next couple of hours ... I have actually been working on some photos for member bcme who asked about coil heads for the Marstech T3, which I am posting as soon as I am done with this post.

But it looks promising though, much better looking in person, and the form factor is actually pretty cool .. I was surprised (thought it might be clunky, but not at all). For anyone who likes the K100 mech, I can't imagine that they wouldn't like this also, possibly more ... but of course the true test will come when I use it. Gonna fill the tank in a bit and get to vaping ... I shall report back. :)

Thank you.

Ok luv ... here are the pics I promised. In the pic with the three coil heads, left is the Marstech T3 coil, middle is a rebuilt authentic Kanger coil, and far right is a knock off Kanger coil. You can see that aside from my longer wicks, the left and middle coils are identical to a T. You can also see that I installed the Kanger coil into the base, and the clearo itself and it fits just fine, even with my super long wicks. :) I hope this answers your questions.

Can someone tell me if focalecig is affiliated with fasttech? I have had a lot of orders from FT but am a little fed up with cs over one of my last purchases. Want to try someone else.

Focalecig has absolutely no affiliation with Fasttech. Focalecig is the little child company of the parent company Wallbuys ... Focalecig is run by a lovely lady named Doris (sales manager), if you have any product questions or concerns you can email them at sales@focalecig.com and she you will answer you. :)
