Can't answer to the quality of this mod because it is a fairly new arrival, too new for any feedback yet. However, its $15 so give it go, if you don't like it you really won't be out of much money.
I will say this though, the 18350 Caravela which is currently $21, I purchased for $14 back during Christmas, and I can honestly say that the quality of this mod is mind blowing. With the exception of the C logo engraving on the button being less than exact, this mod could easily sit side by side with many high end mods out there ... Threads are perfection, high quality thick tubing, quality gold plating on the brass top and bottom caps ... I have nothing bad to say about it ... other than with the mirror polish finish its a total fingerprint magnet.
I am not saying that this mod will be of the same quality, but I am saying its possible that it could be ... Also bear in mind that this mod on group buy is 21mm diameter I believe.

I see that we have a 'group buy' on the Caravela mod clone that comes with a single 18650 tube for $15 with free shipping.

Does anyone know how the quality is on this clone in comparison to some of the other Caravela clones out there?
This is kinda strange ... After posting the link above, I get a '403 Error' message when clicking it on (from HostGator.com)
Anyway, just go to the FocalEcig webpage and click on the "Group Buy" button up at the top.
Aw poor FC is up against FastTech who are pulling out all the stops if you are a follower, I had to, didn't want to but had to pull the trigger on a set of black Nemesis tubes which I would have bought of Fc if they had them but I am loving their 20R Samsungs, have retired pretty much my old battery stock in favour of these and the new Uniross 18650's that are being done over here.
So I would recommend getting Focale's Samsungs and they got here pretty swift too.
As for Focale's KFL 3.1ES this is the KFL for me, even though its a pain to side port fill, the sheer excellence of its build is best I have encountered, I didn't have to de-oil it, it had a perfect wick in it, no leaks or floods and thanks to FT's KFL clear section bonanza today, I have now 14 multicoloured clear sections for my KFL's.
So my thought is, that Focale have delivered and delivered good, if they carried more stock then they would get my custom all the time, perhaps we can persuade Doris to wander in and chat with us, find out what we like and don't like and get to know some of their customers
How awesome Delboy! So did you get the $50 3.1? ... and I completely agree about the Samsung 20-R's. I have been on to Samsung since last October, and when I first found them, I got them for $6.32 for the pair ... this of course was before they gained popularity in the vaping community, which is why once upon a time I never used to speak of them by name on ECF. I knew it was only a matter of time before the price for them went up.
As far as Doris participating in the thread, not sure that is such a good idea. She is an unregistered supplier/member, but it may also create confusion as many will begin to direct their order issues and inquiries here in the thread in greater numbers, as opposed to contacting Focalecig directly, which I feel is the better way to handle important business. General questions and inquiries about the company are already directed here to this thread, which is fine .. but I don't want it to become the "main hub" for Focalecig inquiries.

Thanks for the info you have provided.
As far as the outside diameter of the tube being 21mm, that's what has me concerned. I know a "Kick 1" will fit into a mod with a 22mm outside diameter tube, but I am thinking that it won't fit the 21mm diameter tube.
I know it's the inside diameter that's important, but unless the wall of the 21mm tube is very very thin, it just has to be smaller on the inside than your standard 22mm tube.
______________________________
Seems strange that the manufacturer of this mod didn't make it 22mm outside diameter like about 90% of the rest of them?
I agree with your thinking on this ... I don't have a kick but I have seen plenty of them being inserted into 22mm mod tube, and it appears to already be a snug fit in some. Like you said, the inner diameter is really what will determine whether a kick will fit or not.
I would also like to see some 22mm Caravela's that are true to the original, but I think manufacturers are trying to provide flush compatibility with other RBA's that are not 22mm, and there are a few ... but Focalecig really should have at least one 22mm Caravela.
Nikkita ... That group buy for that $15 Caravela mod clone with the single 18650 tube .... Do you think the finish on it is brushed stainless or polished stainless.
It's hard to tell by the photo, and the website just says "Golden+Silver"
Thanks,
Ron

I think Focalecig needs to be a little more specific like FastTech is. I wish them luck with there business, but someone at Focalecig needs to look more closely at what they are advertising for sale if they want to really start competing.

The finish is polished ... Doris told me about them before she put it up.
EUB/EMS which is Epacket is the best shipping option.
Takes 7-12 days ... Also Epackets usually hit ISC in New York, which would be better than HKP which usually goes to LA upon touching down in the States.

oh no..... i feel my wallet burning in my pocket now...... EUB/EMS it is!
BTW ... I just had a chat with Doris that works for Focalecig. I asked her about the $15 Caravela clone that is being offered on the group buy.
It's polished stainless ... not brushed.
I am going to pass on it

Origin mod in. Well worth the $19. Came with magnets in the switch. Very smooth! No complaints. Will post some pictures soon!
Yes I know my dear ... I replied a page back, but I guess you didn't see it. Well, at least you got to meet and chat with the Lovely Doris. I believe the 3 tube all stainless set is brushed.
Please do that, would love to see ... although my official review for the Astro is a few days off, here is a pic of this tiny thing in 18350 mode. It makes the 350 Vela look big
The only thing giving this itty bit some size this is tall ar$ed Taifun GT

Shiny!!! I want!
Nikkita ... or anyone else that may know ...

I was looking at possibly making an small order from FocalEcig. They have a 'Free Shipping' option, and another shipping option that costs $1.50 extra (as you can see in the photo below).
This $1.50 shipping option is the 2nd one from the top ... Do you think that this option will get a small package any faster to my home in the US?
Thanks,
The $1.50 charge isn't for a shipping upgrade, it's for a Tracking # option.
Free Shipping = No Tracking / $1.50 Fee = Tracking #

I'm jealous!

Hey Nikkita, from which vendor did you get the Astro from? I'm toying with the thoughts of getting a telescopic bottom firing mod. I know you said your review is still a few days off, but just from your initial impressions, is it worth the purchase? Thanks!
That is only for HKP ... LN prefixed tracking# is free with Epacket shipping (EUB/EMS)

I got this from Focalecig of course ... without giving me whole review away, the connectivity on this mod is awesome, its very lightweight, and if you like smaller devices, then you will love this. In 650 mode it is smaller than most mods in 500 mode.
It comes with an extension ring for a kick, you can leave on or off ... with the kick ring on and you can use it in 18500 mode without telescoping it (depending on your atty 510 length, and battery size you may have to scope it a little bit).
The spring loaded fire button is very smooth on mine, perfect resistance, and doesn't fire under its own weight when unlocked ... also have a reverse threaded locking, so I would say this mod is worth it.
There are a few more pro's but I am saving it for the review
