[NiNi]

This was fast...........

"Hello, bernina. please dont worry, we are not the one who only takes customers‘ money away, we would take responsibility to check our sysyem again. i will give you response within three hours. it is 6:52 am. in China, we start work at 9am.
Please forgive spelling mistake, i am replying by phone.
Good evening to you!
Doris "

Thx, Nikki, for the extra "oomph" with the 911. I think I might have gotten additional attention because I went 24 pt. type and bold.

Not the kind of thing I wanted to spend hours on with the CC company and Paypal......day shot! About all I got accomplished was playing a few games of spider solitaire while being put on hold numerous times.

 

[nobreak1970]

No the damn magnets in the firing button just fell out......?
Ok no more mechs for me.

 

[Nikkita6]

The "Guest" part was at Paypal, I was already logged into Focalecig.........[insert emoticon with pulling hair out]
I kind of figured that everyone is named "Doris" for some reason

Yeah, although it would be helpful if "they" just told you who they really are .. I have never spoken to any of the new staff, I just know this from a recent email, and Doris did advise me to contact her directly if there was ever a situation, or problem that was not being properly handled, and I think this one qualifies.

This staff could also benefit from a lesson on how to take product photos, all the new arrivals do not have proper photos that include the devices dissembled.

Why don't you pm Delboy and ask him for help ... I already suggested that you start a thread for Origin clone help (I guess you didn't see it) Don't give up so easy, this is your first mech, and there is just some stuff that you need to learn and understand about adjusting, and using them ... its your learning curve.

No problem, my pleasure NiNi ... after you explained everything, the first thing that popped into my head was "new staff", and I knew that Doris would NOT have you running around, so it was time to pull out the big guns, can you say "new staff override"

Now that Big D is aware and involved, no doubt everything will be handled .... I kept thinking "NiNi's got a gun!" ... scroll back 4 or 5 pages and you will get the joke of that last line. I was drinking too much wine last night NiNi, and cutting up a bit while planning road trips in my mind from Iowa to Arizona.

Pure irony, but just listened to Aerosmith's "Jamie's Got a Gun" Die hard metal head at 52, my son's just glad I moved on from Black Sabbath to Nickleback, Fuel, and Breaking Benjamin but still loves me some Santana, Yusef (Cat Stevens), Earth, Wind and Fire, Tom Petty, and seriously love that Bruno Mars
First ex-husband was a vocalist up in the Bay Area, we was jammin'! (We actually lived right down the street from Tom Petty in Monte Sereno, and Carlos and some of the Doobies were regulars up in Berkley when my ex's band got together to jam)

Ok. I've been working today and just caught up on the thread. I will try to remember everything I wanted to say along the way.

Yes, I am blonde. Of course Nikki didn't review the Kayfun. If I had thought about that for half a second, I wouldn't have been confused.

My KK does not lock. I tried turning that ring but no dice. Oh well, not a big deal. Got the boge cartos today. They don't work. They are too tall, the size of the oem carto is the same BUT it has the floating pin. If you compare them by putting the threads side by side, the boge is longer. The tank has zero extra space with the way the cap is shaped. I'm disappointed but it's not a deal breaker. I may not order another one yet though. The (new) price on replacements is better than any other carto I've used so it may be worth it for occasional use. The carto certainly won't stand up to being my main device though.

NiNi: I would have been ...... too. Glad Nikki could help get things rolling to sort it out.

That is too funny NiNi! ... As soon as I typed " NiNi's got a gun" last night, it was me and Steven Tyler all night until I finally fell asleep Good times!

I like Nickelback, and Earth, Wind, and Fire reminds me of being a kid (parents loved them) and listening to the stereo every weekend! And I love Bruno Mars's soul ... wish he was a tad taller though.

This is a lil late, but I am actually still laughing at your comment, when you said you went straight 24pt bold in your last email If you can imagine, my voice sounds like 24 pt bold when I'm angry ... That's why I like you NiNi, a women after my own heart. Sweet as pie, and a friend to all ... until we get ......, and then its all fire and brimstone baby!

 

[nobreak1970]

Ok got the firing mechanism fixed. learned alot about how the magnets work in it.
Now, either battery is too short or one of the tubes it too damn long.

Cranky poo!!! hey hun ... So you are blonde, I will not hold this against you (jk) ... THE BOGE'S DON'T FIT!!! ... so I wonder how that customer made his work?? But you know what, I just realized that the customer was speaking of the QQ, and you have the KK, and they are different tanks, although similar, so perhaps that is why it doesn't fit??

Thought ... is it possible to pull out the floating pin on the old carto, and insert it into the Boge??? I might be stretching, but its worth asking right??

Dear lord ... now I have to go update some posts. .. After you let the original carto sit overnight, I remember you said that you were able to chain vape it the next day, my question is, did it remain that way for you? I am sure you saw the other comments from the poster who was having gurgling to dry hit issues.

I tell ya, what a day it has been up in hurr!! I may have set a new daily post record

I was not able to keep chain vaping. It worked fine for a secondary flavor I only wanted every now and then.
Even if I could take the pin off, the carto would still be too tall for the cap to screw on. I am not talented enough or I would have taken pics when I had it in there. I don't know what the inside of the QQ tank looks like so it is possible that the fit is different. Maybe I need to take your advice and buy one so I can have a use for these cartos

 

[Nouseforanick]

Yep, yep, yep. Copies of Paypal and Credit card transactions, payments, and she sure as knows I'm a member of ECF in my last email.

I need to go outside and burn off some "steam"....urgh.

Word to the new customers of Focalecig: Add your CC to your Paypal account, don't buy as a "Guest". Seems that's TMI for Focalecig to get into their system if you DON'T do it.

I really don't expect a response til they're back in the office, whenever that is......12 hour difference?

My first attempt to purchase the TGT from them was done as a Guest on Paypal. Order went thru, but was rejected as i chose to have it ship to an address in China. They promptly refund me that transaction before i manage to muster enough supporters to get 4 TGT with expensive shipping.

Somehow i'm glad that my time zone and hers is similar. I just bug her on Skype.

Currently waiting for another shipment from another China supplier..2 Sigelei Zmax, some aerotank, flavouring and eliquid..

Ok so just wondering based on NINI's experience with Paypal. Nini said she was logged in her FC account but it did not register. So how does on make sure that if you are logged in and hit Paypal that it gets linked to your account as purchased?

 

[nobreak1970]

Ok I'm stupid!

I didn't realize there was a THIRD tube, very small. Didn't see the seam.
All is well.
Thanks for putting up with my rambling guys.

Don't go to Paypal and pay as a "guest", log into your Paypal account and add your credit card info into it! I have Billmelater and my checking account directly linked to PP, but none of my credit cards.....so slap my hands......that has GOT to be the hitch!

Dude! (or Dudette!)I've been following you and I swear, if I knew anything more about mechs, other than the iTaste 134, I would have jumped in!

I think I gotcha. When I go to Paypal and log in my debit cards etc is already on there so I just pick it as the pay option. Assuming that would work too. Hoping Doris gets it all worked out for you

 

[NiNi]

Buwahhh! Don't have a clue how they got the wrong email addy!!!!
"Hello Bernina,


You were using DIFFERENT Paypal email address for payments.
Please check attachment.
Order Q222122329 was paid by zubzranch@msn.com
Order Q125123771 and Q219215051 were paid by zubazranch@msn.com
That's why there are two orders under email address
zubazranch@msn.com and we couldn't search another order under your name but different email address.

Hope this solved your confusion and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you!
Doris"

Lawd have MERCY! Now I hope they have the correct email to put that order under!!!!

Damn, I did not even think about the small tube. I had one on my turtleship, it is considered the kick sleeve in the event you want to put a kick in it. Be sure that the brass pin on the button is not stuck in the up position or it will fire the mod without you pushing the button. It needs to be inset in the delrin ring slightly so that when you push the fire button it hits the battery then recesses itself when you let go. Don't ask me how I know that.

Mine was good after sitting over night like we both said, but I always have two or three set ups going, so I very rarely vape just one device .. Later I'm gonna go take a look at the pics for the QQ and KK to see how the internals compare ... that is the only thing I can think of that would make the Boge fit that guys QQ, but not the KK ..

Ahaha, and I caught that brilliant "excuse" to get a QQ ... slickster you are!
