Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[Crocky]

Lol, the button is flush and super easy. I have not fired her up yet...waiting for the batteries to charge, them there are some big batteries . It is actually really nice size. Much smaller than I thought and than it looks in the pic. Fits the hand nicely and not too heavy either. Now I have yet to put the battery in and I am sure it will add some weight but it is surprisingly lighter than I thought without the battery. The heaviest part is the switch at the bottom which weights the mod down nicely.

I'm getting this:

$21.02 Marstech QQ Electronic Cigarette Telescoping Mechanical Mod Set-Silver Gray(1.4-1.6 Ohm / 4.0mL)

I haven't read this entire thread so this may have been asked...what's the delivery time from there to say Alabama?

Well ... that depends my friend. This is China, so you can receive your order relatively quick (8-12 days from order), or you can receive it slower (12-20 days from order).

Items usually ship within 1-3 business days from order, although it can take as long as 7 days to ship, it depends on what you have ordered, and what the present "demand" is for it .. as a rule most will ship in 1-3 days, the exception is 3-7 days.

Actual shipping times once order has been shipped ... I received my Marstech QQ in 7 days from shipping, but I must be honest that right now this is the exception, not the norm. I would expect it to take 10-15 days being that we are still in the Holiday season, specifically for China... China was bombarded with orders before the Holiday shut down, and will be bombarded by vape junkies everywhere as soon as the reopen for business.

Hope this answers your question ...

I had heard in a review that it actually wasn't as heavy as it appears to be, which I guess is good. I like some weight to my devices, but I guess there is a such thing as "too heavy". I can only imagine how long it will take to recharge that battery though ... do you have two of them, or shall I say, I hope you have two of them. ;-)

I noticed the same thing ... which is one of the reasons that I ordered the Kraken from Focal and not Fasttech ... same with the Caravela clone. Focalecigs includes an extra bottom button spring and different length contact screws, and its in stock and ready to ship, whereas the Caravela is presently restocking at Fasttech with a 10 or 15 day wait.

I almost got the Taifun GT as well, but then I turned my sights to the Fogger ... I may also checkout on the Pulse G Genesis, but I figured it was safer to start small, and then see how things go with my first order. This will also give them some time to pull in more inventory of other items.

I picked up the Vela clone at Focalecig. It only came in 18350 size, but it is much nicer in terms of quality than the 3 tube Vela kit I got from FT. I would have preferred other tube sizes, but I certainly can't complain about the quality and performance...I really like the extra screws and spring that came with it too...the shipping time was on par with typical China shipping times....took about 2.5 weeks to get it, including the several days that it sat in Customs....I'll likely order from them again when I see something that catches my eye that I'm not in a big hurry to receive...

This is what I heard as well ... This Caravela from Focal has across the board positive reviews on their website, and I myself was blown away by the build quality, was not expecting it. I didn't think it would be garbage, but I didn't think it would be this good ... my only negative was the length of the throw on the switch, but I fixed that and it has been one of my main mods since I got it.

Thanks for sharing Spike

It took 6 hours to charge the batteries and yes I got two . With the battery in it, the weight is nice. I really love it though. The fire button is so easy to push and smooth as butter.

Oh 6 hours is not too ... I bet it is all that and a bag of chips! It looked good with the Kayfun in the pic ... what is the diameter 24 or 25mm?

 

[Crocky]

Top cap tapers to 23mm so I assume 25 or so, heck I don't know but it's a beast . I love it!

There are 3 shipping service options, which should I use for US delivery?

I would use the EUB/EMS to USA option which is Epacket delivery, and based on recent reports the fastest .. When HKP gets back to normal this may change because they used to be pretty fast as well .. my Epacket deliveries have ranged from 7-15 days from shipping, and I have had approx 4 or 5 shipments from China using Epacket within the last month or so.

4 more days.........and maybe we'll see some movement with our purchases!!!!!!

I hope so ... it has to be hard to order, yet have to wait for the holiday to end before its all on its way. Lets hope the old adage "good things come to those who wait" prove to be true. My guess is that they will be working on those orders even before the holiday ends, and when the officially re-open all those orders will be ready to ship.

I just got very lucky in that I bought a Focalecig Taifun GT off a member here who just received it, but was too heavy for her liking, so I took it off her hands ... so excited to get it being that is an Hcigar, which is the best 1:1 Taifun clone on the market!

Darn it I waited too long, the Nemesis groups buy is sold out.

You waited?? Shame shame, Nemesis 101 young man, sales on this item waits for no man ... Well, because it is the Nemesis I think its fair to assume that they will be restocking it, but God only knows when they will have a Group buy promotion on it again.

If I were you I would email Doris on the 7th and ask about restocking, and see if it will be possible to use the 10% off coupon which expires on the 8th ... Fingers crossed, maybe Doris will throw ECF another coupon ...

Ordered the Kraken Clone from Focalecig. Payed on Jan 22nd got it Feb 2nd. Not bad at all. The quality of the Kraken is also great. Threads are very smooth.

Cool deal! and Agreed, I enjoy the Kraken very much, and the threads are perfect on the threaded sleeve ... thank God! That is pretty fast shipping too!

I can't speak highly enough of Focale's Kraken, cheap as chips but good as any gennie clone out there

My brass Origin turned up today, OMG talk about sweet mod, I've done a review on their site to show how pleased I am, its just such a nice bit of machined metal that I keep on having to give a little buff to hehe (no that isn't freudian either) and its a lot easier to set up than the Nemmy was, nice hit to it, hidden ego connector very well done indeed, $19 def worth a go I reckon

I'm hoping they are getting some new goodies in soon, will take some photos of the bits n pieces when get a chance but youngest has nicked me phone and she's in a grump too so all on eggshells til she gets over whatever teenage angst is winding her up lol

 

[liquidzoo]

I was going to pick up the Origin clone from them, but I'm not sure how my Kayfun would look on it since they're different diameters. Time to think about a "Bremesis" (brass nemesis), Chi, or King or something like that.

Cool deal babes ... I was just chatting someone up today about the Origin Mod, asking about it's performance, which he said was good. I really think the Kraken would have a nicer home with another 21mm device, so that is why I am considering it. Like you, I remain blown away by the great vape the Kraken gives ... so much vapor its unreal.

I also received some VAPE MAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TODAY! ... I already mentioned that I bought Focal's Taifun GT off a member here who just received it herself. While the member was nice enough to leave a build in it, I destroyed when I tried to wick it with SS Mesh ... its all good as I wanted to try out the twisted 32 gauge Kanthal that I had put together.... very nice vape! I built it the way that the creator of the Taifun recommends, and being that this is a 1:1 clone, I thought I should follow suit.

This is my first ss mesh build in a non-genesis style RBA, and I think I will give this build a go with the Fogger V3 as well. I plan to write up a nice little review for this baby due to its popularity, and the fact that it's a H Cigar clone. Being that there are at least three different Taifun clones (if not 4 (Hcigar, Rainbow Heaven, Cigreen, not sure if Tobecco makes one) on the market, it will be nice to have some published details on this version.

Yeah, I wouldn't match the Kayfun with an Origin ... you can get a way with a smaller topper and bigger Mod, but big toppers and smaller mods look a lil funny IMO. That is why I have to have a 23mm for the Fogger and Taifun ... I don't like the "love handle" look

Focalecig's Kraken is 21mm so that will match up perfectly with the Origin, which is why I want one.
