Well I got an order delivered today, only 2 more incoming. Been waiting on the RG500 to go on my Dragon spinner. Don't like the wood drip tip I ordered, too light in color, but the copper looks good.

Here is a picture of the finished setup, and it vapes good with a 2.2 ohm coil. Might order the brass RG500 just to see how it looks, a little lighter finish.

That looks really good together Burnie, nice match up! How does it vape? ... I was looking at the RG500 a few months ago but then forgot about it. I have seen quite of few mentions for it lately.

It was the only tank I found I thought would go with it, and I do think it really fits. Vapes good. Uses an EVOD/PT/UniTank coil, so same as any of them, which I can rebuild to my ohms I want. A little airy but I like an easy draw myself.

Keeping my eye out on the Valkyrie dripping clone on FC. A couple of sites have preorders for them and I might just jump on board.

Valkyrie is sexy, I like it ... I actually want a Prometheus, and I almost got it, but opted for a blinged out Magneto instead. I know Focal plans to return to with some updated stock, and I can't wait to see what it is, and dear Lord let me have some money to play with by the time it happens! :laugh:

I like the Aqua clone too, and I regret not getting the Avenger clone two months ago, but it was new, and had no reviews, so I didn't want to chance it. But I am all in for a Big Nasty clone :D

Is that the e-Huge being mentioned here?

Did you see the $19.90 Nemesis on Focalecig under the group buy promotion? That's 10 dollars off their own price o_O Looks to be the same model as FastTech's stainless steel at $24

Of course I did .. I posted the promotion a few pages back on the morning it dropped. Focalecig is running two Group Buy promotions, and a big "Year of the Horse" sale promotion on a bunch of other items. A lot of good deals, but none of it is shipping until after the CNY is over... a few items are even sold out.

I just saw a reviewer on youtube reviewing some clones made by Yiloong (maker of the Fogger and Slimzy mod), it was a sweet looking GGTS clone, and yet another Caravela 18350 clone, which is a bit different from the one Focal is presently selling (different button logo, switch, and inner top cap design), so I wonder if Focal with be stocking any of them ... Yiloong has also cloned the I-Atty.

The GGTS clone caught my eye, I liked the look, and build, and it didn't have any logos or engraving ... reviewer said it was solid, as he did about the Yiloong Caravela, but instead of using the Caravela "C" on the bottom button, they inscribed the name Caravela :blink:

I had to really fight myself in not buying that ChinaSells Rocket lol, I could see that on my Sig 8w looking the business all shiny and vapy like it is o_O

Do you think that as you have an inside track with Doris, you could perhaps make some suggestions for their buyers to concentrate on the US/Euro market maybe? I think FT have gotten on top of how to go about this as they concentrate less on the cheapo nastio stuff and work more on the mod/atty/RBA/RDA front as us big tough westerners don't really want to walk about with a huge christmas light on a stick when we can have giant chunks of SS and brass to wield like Ned Stark carving the sunday roast :p

I'm a happy bunny at the mo, got the spare nzonic cap for my Sigelei 8w and voila fixed me knackered Sentinel M16 alloy top cap and because its sprung is hitting like a horse too, I do like my Sig 8w, didn't know it was a Caravela clone too but very good quality for £25 delivered.

Yes, I will, and have made suggestions to Doris about inventory ... if they really want to become competitive in this market, then a strong focus on current mechanicals and RBA/RDA's is the way to go. I believe she gets this, and product suggestions are welcome. Let's see what they come back with after the New Year ..

I, like many "collector type" advanced vapers are mainly interested in RBA's and mechanical mods ... I don't want any light saber VV APV's, or Ego batteries (unless I break my Ego Twist :p). I just watched a review for the new KSD Max-something VV/VW and its garbage! For one its ugly, and uses a chromed brass body. And for two, the VV regulation is completely off, and inaccurate ... and did I mention it's ugly? lol

I find it funny that the Sigelei 8w is regarded as a Caravela clone .. I think it takes a lot more than a SS/brass tube body to constitute being a "clone". I like the Sigelei Bagua clones a lot ... almost one picked up last week, but got a Magneto clone instead, but the Bagua, like many others are still on my list.

Unusual for KSD to drop the ball as they were respected elders of the business, my copper Kmax has been nothing but perfect and its power output and display is spot on as I check things like that as its my quick resi tester on the RBA's. I note Ego have the "GS" out there now which is not too bad looking, its basically a telescopic Vamo in different colours.

I can see why they say the 8w is a clone as the tube and bottom end is Caravela, the top cap however is quite different but being a solid tube o' very highly polished SS, polished on the inside would you believe? The button and top cap shroud are coated in a polymer coating as well and there is no discernible resistance or voltage drop between battery and connection which is pretty good in my books and theres me like a wally trying to polish the polymer coating when all it needed was a wipe with a soft cloth hehe :p

I gave the Sig mini Tiger to my brother as a pressie and he wants me to do some ordering off Focale when he comes over next week as he is going to Russia for easter and all his in-laws love the idea of e-cigs over there :) Isn't it crazy that them in some parts of Russia think e-cigs are the latest American invention, I'm keeping bro happy as I want him to go through the hassle of getting a Russian cloned Vespa exported to here and Russian bureaucracy is as straight as a corkscrew :)

Yeah, I was surprised about the new KSD VV too, I would have expected better, especially at this stage of the ecig market game. But the tests don't lie, all of the voltage settings were firing way over what they were supposed to ... I really dig their 14500 Hybrid mod (although its not really a hybrid), and I would probably already have one but that is yet another battery type that I have to buy ... I guess I should get on it already because I really like 14500 mechs, and I suspect we will see alot more of them in 2014.

Well aren't you just the all around family guy? So what things to you plan to order from Focal for your bro?

Knowing what he is going to face with Russian authorities, pretty much whatever he wants XD Its Ekaterinaberg which 20 years ago was still a KGB enclave and the authorities there are a leeetle bit ingrained lol

But silver lining, apart from arms and naughty substances, the Russians will let virtually anything else through... for a price and I have heard from bro that this is one of the sticking points in e-cig supply over there hence why in outlying places there are treated with reverance

I had hoped that more members would come back and post about their purchase experience, because I know that there have been quite a few within the last month .. come on people, we want to know.

I wanna know how Focal's Astro, and Avenger Mods are .. the Avenger is sold out, so someone from here must have purchased it.

Well I got my orders from FT and FC yesterday. Spent most the day trying to figure out how to set the ithaka clone up to no avail, now it is in the classies. It is a little different than most of the clones in the bottom connection is an insulator and does not have a black oring. I can only assume it is set up the same way. Going to try one more time today and then she shall sit on the shelf until I sale her. It can't be that hard, it just can't be. I am not the best with those types of feeders anyway but thoughti. Woudo give I it a chance. Also got the taifun in but have not even opened it up yet. I need to look at the videos on how to set it up. I think it is similar to the kayfun and if that is the case it should be pretty easy.
Oh and by the way I got in not he preorder of the valkyrie clone :). I could not wait for the china distributors to start carrying it.....LOL. Should get it sometime next week along with the big nasty I preordered.

I rewicked my Kraken tonite and dremil polished it, filled with Wild Blackcurrant and its like being punched in the throat by a bunch of Soothers lol Its sitting on my Sig 8w as its weird the KFL works best on the Nemmy, the Steam Turbine also rewicked and dremil polished tonite has a really short connection and likes the Sentinel M16 and the Kraken just works best on the Sig. Used three way U wick so each hole has a tail in, 10 wrap 32g and vaping like a trooper, def worth the $13 it cost me from Focal :)
