I received my 2 Marstech QQ mods today. They are nice indeed. I have a couple of "cons" though. 1) Flat top batteries won't fire them. 2) Locking ring won't work (unless there is some kind of modification involved?). Can anyone that has purchased it confirms the above, or it is just me doing something wrong?
My QQ locks just fine but KK doesn't. Its like locking ring get off from screwing part and just sitting on flat part of firing button.
I don't use flat top batteries.

Hmm .. as far as the fire button, you are the 2nd person to say this ... My locking ring worked just fine, very smooth and easy, and member Genghis said the same. However, Crankybittch also said that her locking right didn't work.

Do you mean that that the locking ring will not turn?? Or that it turns but does not lock the switch?? ... I know that it takes a full 8 turns to lock the QQ. As far as battery are concerned, I only used one flat top with the QQ (18650) and it worked fine. I have button tops on my 350 & 500 batteries. Being that its telescoping, it shouldn't have any problem adjusting to meet the battery, especially in 500 and 650 modes ... are you having trouble in 350 mode?

It won't fire with 18350 flat tops; with 18650 button top it works fine (I don't have any 18650 flat top, but if it worked for you with them, then maybe it is only the 18350's flat tops the ones that won't fire it).
And, the locking ring issue was fixed, I just had to shorten the switch throw (by holding the spring and turning the switch clockwise). Now my lock ring works fine, and the switch works better since throw distance is shorter).

Do you have any fix for the 350's flat tops problem, Nikkita? Thanks!

Can't help you out on this, waiting for the Svoe Mesto "logo-ed" one myself, still "processing":blink: and I don't have the other...(I do have the Marstech Kayfun Lite Style Rebuildable Electronic Cigarette Atomizer - Silver SKU 13053, and a Tobeco KFL, they all work great!)

Neither look like they have the air vent screw to adjust draw. The first one has the clear tube insert and the 2nd one doesn't seem to, according to the pics. That could be a plus if you want to see you liquid level. Both don't have the x-tra screws, what's with that? The 2nd one has extra o-rings.

when did you place the order for the logo one that's still processing? Just curious.



My FC order that I placed around 2/14 left China on 2/19 and was last seen in San Fran on 2/22 -- which seems like ages ago since I check the status every day... :blush: If it takes longer to go from San Fran to Los Angeles than it did from China to the US I will be :shock:

The Kayfun Queen strikes again!! ... gotta round out that collection right?! :banana:

Have you seen the ridiculously sized 30mm Russian Big yet? :blink: What in God's good name is that thing gonna match up with?? I watched Rip Trippers review for it, and all I could think was NO! :facepalm:

If you have, or can find a piece of delrin approx 1-2mm thick x at least 20mm diameter, I am thinking that you can remove the spring from the bottom cap, place the delrin on the bottom of the switch, and reinstall the spring on top of the delrin, this will shorten the distance between the battery and the contact inside of the tube.

Of course you will have to use some tape or adhesive to secure the delrin in place, as well as the spring, but something along these lines should work, and enable the battery to make proper contact. I can't imagine that the flat top is missing contact by that much, especially since 350 button tops fire just fine, and I think the buttons add 1-2mm to the battery length .... or you can just buy a new pair of button tops. :D

I think the vape vendors of the world got together and hired Nikki to show us all the wonderful things we can spend our money on. I have a list of things here that I want to order if only I wasn't at least six months from breaking even. Of course, I use the logic that my health is worth at least a years worth of extra spending so, I guess i have plenty of wiggle room in the vape budget :D

That said, I made a spreadsheet of what I have ordered and am waiting for while I was bored at work today. I'm including tracking numbers as I get them so that I can go to one place and copy and paste them all into the USPS website :)

I DO NOT NEED TO ORDER THE BIG RUSSIAN :)

Really depressing, this week ALL my orders will be here, I won't have ANYTHING to track :(
Last I have coming are 2 from the classies, then Nothing.
Don't know what I'll do without and order on the way, will be the first time since September with nothing ordered.

Yes! Vape vendors, send me all your cool, shiny, sexy, tinkery inventory, and I will dedicate my life to tantalizing all the shinyitis inflicted vapers every where, ensuring maximum dollars spent, and monthly vape budgets broken! :rickroll: ...

EVERYBODY WINS!! :lol:

And Cranky, I have a ghetto spreadsheet too (aka black and white notebook & #2 pencil), and I record what I ordered, the date I ordered, the vendor name, order #, tracking #, and date received. :D ... I guess all junkies think a like. :laugh:

I'm always afraid of forgetting something but trying to at the same time. If I can forget, it won't feel like I've been waiting so long. How much shiipng time can I shave off if I move to China? Surely Doris wants me as a neighbor :danger:

That is a BIG piece of Wood you got there Burnie. :wub: ...... tihihihihihiiiii :D

Now on a cleaner note :blush:, I totally relate to the "no vape mail blues" which can also manifest as mild case of anxiety ... I hate when that happens!! That is usually when I sell something, so I can buy something :laugh:.

After this Astro mod arrives, I see dry roads ahead for Nikki :cry:

Hehe that RG500 looks diddy on that big beastie :) You need a matching wooden atty for that big X-gun.

For battery gap closing you could get a "penny kick" which adds a button top to the flat battery and like the KSD or Smok type ones, they will reset after a short etc, failing that, a simple battery top magnet will work quite as well , can be found on ebay etc, only downside is if you put them up the "corn chute" there is a danger they might get stuck up there attaching themselves to contacts.

I have for tracking a little notepad file, when I buy something I add a line and number to it, when I get the tracking I add the tracking number to the stack of tracking numbers above the index so I know whats what and from whom and means I can just copy and paste the whole stack into track 17.

I found a trick with Track 17 as well, if something comes up not found, I then go to country index and select say for mine it would be UK - Registered Airmail and then it seems to find it, its amazing that T17 can find staff the carriers can't.

Didn't you know, there is boat to China that departs from New York every morning ... how soon can you get here?? :p

Joking of course, an inside joke that is related a one of the craziest posts I have ever read in this thread. I wish I could remember what page its on :unsure: .. it was crazy, and funny at the same time.

I like this idea though, should I email Doris and tell her to expect you? I'll send her your avvy pic, and tell her to keep an eye out for a naughty looking puppy with a Provari and a IBTanked. :laugh:

If I wasn't tired and slightly drunk, I would read back to find the post you're talking about. I will be content to laugh at you telling me what to do with my finger :blink:

Changed my mind. Search function led me to pg 51/52 if anyone else wants to read it.
