Don't panic ... It could be one of two things. 1) the tracking simply hasn't been updated, even though the package is moving (have seen this plenty of times). 2) it could be held up because I am sure that Focal is not the only vendor that had a large amount of shipments going out after the Holiday.

Does it say "processed through sort facility" Shenzhen, EMS?

USPS and EMS say this:

Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
February 16, 2014 , 10:47 am
Processed Through Sort Facility

Doris confirms it's from HCigar..

The 4 TGT i receive is very well built. If FT change theirs to a SS base then i'm not sure how to tell the difference between the 2 of them.

The difference is easy to tell .. The body, namely the knurling on the FT version is different (larger), and not a 1:1 match with the original which has fine knurling around the top cap, bottom base, and inner chimney. Also, you can detach the air tube from the top cap on the FT version, and you cannot with the original, or the Hcigar version.

Also, the FT version comes with one air tube installed standard, no extra's ... Hcigar comes with an extra air tube.

Anyone get their squape yet? Wondering about the quality and manufacture. There are two different ones....hmmm which one to get

The one with the plastic tank definitely looks like Rainbow Heaven, they are the only one who has the writing on the bottom, and that particular base/knarling design, and I have seen the product photos directly from Rainbow Heaven, and it matches to a t .. no official user reviews on it yet that I know of. Actually I did hear one "supposed" user review, but that individual would not answer specific questions about how the device performs, or who they purchased it from, so I cannot take it seriously.

The glass tank could be Rainbow Heaven or Hcigar .. its hard to tell because they both have product pics that match the glass tank version identically, most especially the base design, and knurling. So without a user review, and more specific details, and identifying information, it will be hard to tell who manufactured the glass version that Focalecig is selling based on pictures alone.

The glass tank one I believe is the Winsmoke V1. That may just be the pic the V2 (not official V1, V2) just has a different color build deck. But I believe it's Winsmoke as they are the only ones who seem to make the Squape clone with that low profile top cap, all the others including the OG have a taller slope on them.

Pardon any intrusion, permission to assume temporary orbit with a load of baggage. ;)

Reaching trigger threshold for my first order at Focal. Here to say many thanks to everyone for all the input. Think I will go for the Squape some day, but I'm saving that day for something special. Like the day I decide to stop being so cheap. A two-fer.

Thread is refreshing, I enjoy these settings in my mind. Think I need to stay out of any controversial threads for a while. What the hell is it with the internet and these forums? Does everyone get sucked in like this? Suddenly I seem to care so much about crap I never gave a damn about. Quitting drinking is tough and these forums make it even worse, forget smoking. :mad: Naw, just joking around but not really. :D

Anyway, the mini protank 2 clones look good for ten bucks each, I'm getting 2. Also one of those little dinky mini X9 tanks, no clear ones to be found but I'll get a purple in honor of Jimi Hendrix. Says the coil heads are not replaceable in the description but looks like a replaceable Kanger head in the pics. Anyone know? Will be rebuilding with Kanthal and cotton as has been my ritual for many moons, just for the record.

Saw a new glass tank for like $4 and a half at Fasttech, the dimpled one, round fanny, looks cool, but they are kind of scaring me away lately with all the stocking issues, I don't know what to think. So thanks everybody.

PS -- Nikkita6, would you run for President of the United States, please? Love to be your Chief of Staff if you would have me. Only a Vulcan as evil as me could liaise between a world this twisted and an individual Jeddi so charismatic and brilliant.

Going to look for the glass one now
