3.5 ml vivis are pretty cheap now (I had one that went into storage when bottom coil appeared, never touched it again until this moment).

Thanks Nikki, you are a queen! (or a princess). Or maybe a fairy. I always feel better after reading your posts.

Well today you are the Prince my friend (your avvy looks like a Prince too), because folks have been struggling a bit with the whole "cartotank replacement" issue. :blink: ... So really, thank you!

Now here is something a little funny ... a few years ago my nickname was " Hair Fairy " because of my natural aptitude for hair styling :laugh: True story, I swear!

Dangit!!! HELP!

Hong Hong Post or EMS?

Yep, duh, 2 Squapes:facepalm:

:laugh: ... :lol: .... I KNEW YOU COULDN'T RESIST THE buy BUTTON!!! :rickroll:

Well, how about giving HKP a go?? ... When I used to use them, pre-Hong Kong Post gate, it took 8 days for delivery on every order! It will be like a test, and then we can compare "current" ship times. :D

Hong Kong Post it is. For some reason, I get re-directed to Wallbuys after Paypal.....? Weird, took a screen shot so I'd have the order and receipt #.And I DID sign into my Focalecig account and Paypal.

This will be cool, am going to watch some Youtube vids on how to coil and wick these puppies!:)

Spoken like a true vaper! That is usually my routine too, and I have the youtube tab open right now in fact! So now I get to live vicariously through you, and we can find out the skinny on the Squape poly tank, and HKP at the same time! And if a polycarbonate tank was good enough for the $200 original, it should be good enough for the clone as well ... I hope. :p

As far as the Wallbuy's thing ... this may be a system update being that all orders from Focalecig are fulfilled through Wallbuy's warehouse, this I know for a fact. We should continue to expect some system and ordering changing as I know they are trying to work out the most efficient way to handle order processing, so hopefully this change is a good one!

My clone Steamboy turned up today from TastFlek and gotta be careful as it really is a good clone of the original and I don't wanna be mixing the good and the cheap up...

Pulled the trigger on a brass nemmy today from FastDrek, it was soooo cheap lol, it was quite something, FastDrek's stuff were in and out of Heathrow whilst Focale's stuff for some reason is sitting in customs still so hoping tomorrow will be the prommy, the batteries and the KFL 3.1 ES from Focale :)

I've single wicked the Steamboy, what to marry it to, the brass nemmy will be married to the brass kraken sleevey and the Castle looking drip tip I got off the site that makes the mod called the Castle, think it will have to be mixed Nemmy or one of the Maraxii, it looks so good on all me main mods aargh

I would buy pretty much everything in there /cry /cry /cry

I must have been a magpie in my previous life I am sure of it

I'm convinced that customs in NY doesn't exist :laugh: Whenever a package hits NYC, its in and out within hours, the longest wait is the transit between counties, from one post office to the next.

Perhaps the your Focal package is being held up due to the batteries? I noticed this past weekend when I was at the post office shipping a package from a classie sale, that they are now specifically asking about lithium batteries, whereas in the past they only asked if the package contained anything fragile, liquid, or hazardous ... Glad I wasn't shipping batteries, I don't want to know what the answer would be if I were :p

Can't help ya with the steamboy pairing, I don't like that atty :p ... I finally got a good look the GP paps clone, and its alright. Even as I usually prefer brushed ss mods, I actually wished that the Paps clone was mirror polished, and 18350.

I keep eyeing the KTS version of the GG, its a very clean looking mod in its own rights, I like highly polished stuff meself and if it ain't polished then its gonna be hehehehe

Yes I think it might be batteries holding it up but its a bit silly to make the issue now when its arrived rather than before lol

I don't know what's happening to me ... I am developing an appreciation for the "mirror finish" look, and we have that little jewel 18350 Caravela to thank for that. But my God, the fingerprints! I clean it with rubbing alcohol ... is that bad? :laugh: I feel like a micro cloth only makes its look smudgy ..

The new Stringray clone too, I would also prefer a mirror finish, although I do like the brushed brass look.. I love the way a brass mod looks, but I cannot be bothered with constant polishing though, and I am NOT a patina kinda girl, so I stay away from them ... but brushed brass is so pretty. :)

My *shhhhh*ProVari Ring from Loki Labs, he, he, he! Sorry, Nikitta, no crystal vases, etc., maybe next time, but "Bob" is right there on the wall behind it. Crazy lighting, but that IS one of the Martech KFL's from Focalecig on top with some AiV Zombie Apocalypse in it......and Loki Labs sent a bag for the ring......and a lime Life Saver....and...and a sticker for my truck...and it's so cool, "vapemail withdrawals" are under control for the next few days!:laugh:


:confused: I wonder if I forgot about another shipment..........

Vivi-QQ??

Lol, I've just found that the base of a vivi nova 3.5 fits perfectly on the marstech QQ tank (I suppose that on the KK too).
So I just screwed it (with its post, coil and wicks) on this nice marstech tank that is supposed to work only with proprietary punched cartos, and now i won't have to worry about buying those special cartos for it. Basically it is now a vivi-nova inside the marstech tank. Which is good, since coil can be rebuilt. Hope someone can find this helpful!

I was looking on my Unitank last night and thinking to do the same))) but didnt try yet. Good job!!!

No Crystal vases :facepalm: ... I can't wit you NiNi :glug:

MAJOR POLISHED SHINEY FREAK!!!!

I LOVE the SS, but the brass or brass accents on some of those mechs make me get "clickitus".....no...no....no! Have the bad azz iTaste 134 that I'm letting my son use. (He's never been a smoker, but is playing with low nic, for A.D.D. that hasn't been around since he was 16, 10 years, but he's hunkering down for his last few online classes to get his bachelor's degree------>San Francisco's Academy of Art)

....and it's working. His concentration level is getting back to normal. The last thing he wanted to do was get on Ritalin or Adderall, turned him into a zombie when he was a kid, and after a few really messed up months, we went the "nutritional way". What can you say when a doc puts your kid on meds when he's 6 years old?!?!?! AURGH! Another reason why I don't like BP.

So I'm PIF with all my dud juices and gear I don't use anymore. AND, he's helping a friend move tomorrow, that recently quit smoking, who's having a hella hard time. He's going to give him the skinny on vaping!:)

That setup makes me wish I had the SS provari. I think I have mod ADD though. Two days ago I was wishing it was white :facepalm:
I also wish I could find a loki ring in stock. I'm on a list but no notification yet. I wish FC could get one in. How is such a simple (to my mind) thing not easy to find?

Ahahahaha ... Well, I am on my way. Brushed SS is usually what makes me drool, but certain devices, and designs really call for a polished finish.

I have heard that nicotine can help with ADD, so that is awesome. Its also cool that you have vaping to share with your son too ... all of my vape buddies are online :blink:

I can also relate to your son being placed on meds when he was young, as my nephew has ADD, and some behavioral issues, so he takes several daily meds, and I hate it ... but I hate it more when he is not on them, so its very conflicting in my heart. At least I know my vaping can't make it any worse, and I am going to look more into nicotine, and its positive affects on ADD. I don't know if its appropriate for a child, but can it really be any worse than the 5 different meds he is on now??

That loki ring is on some kind of back order?? I'm with you Cranky, how can something like that need a waiting list?? It seems like it would be rather simple to produce by the 1000's ... Maybe the manufacturer just wants to make the Provarinati suffer :laugh:

Cranky did you read about the Vivi QQ tank fix?? Better go order yourself one of those, and you can rebuild it! :D

Yeah. I have been on a list for over a month. I figure I will get it and not even end up liking it.

I did read that. I don't have enough faith that I will like anything with those heads. I'm sure I will tack on an order at some point but I really hate that burned taste. Dry carto is less offensive to my taste buds.

I should probably ask them to change my name to pickybi***.
