Absolutely both are leaking! I'd say an annoying 3-5. After so many different "toppers" I've had in the past that leaked, this is a step backward, and not a good one.
:ohmy:So I would bet, "QC". But, will play with the screw in the post.

Oh that sucks for sure ... I hope an adjustment in the posts does the trick. Aren't they supposed to be insulated? :blink:

Crocky .. honey ... dear :) .... You too, see Ms. Nikki's handbook on proper thread etiquette! :admin: I meant to reprimand you a few pages back for lurking, and vanishing :p .. We miss you darling, and I gather that the Big Nasty has you well occupied these days. :)

Well it isn't the first time I would have been reprimanded for not following the rules....LOL. I Am good and yes the big nasty is in my daily rotation. I have not purchased a lot lately....so just hanging out and enjoying the scenery :)

Well I must not tell a lie....I did order two kayfun lite plus toppers to join my others. I kept waiting for FC or FT to get they plus version with the airflow control on the bottom but I got impatient....so I ordered them elsewhere :). I actually got these two with the larger air hole predrilled from the factory. This will make 5 total, 3 for me and Sandy gets two ;). Once I get these in I am going to go through all my other toppers and likely sale a few. Right now the kayfuns are some of the best rba's I have tried.

Ok, fellow Focal vapers, the skinny on the Squape, SKU 13164.

Kinda a learning curve from the KFL's. The juice channel runs up against the 2 coil posts. This kinda of makes it a tight situation. 1.0 omh micro at 2.9 volts. Your wick lays in the channel, stuff it in there. Over prime your wicks, yep, might get messy, but do it. Cut your wicks at the edge of the top channels, don't let them hang over or down! Do 1 or 2 "test" fires.
The stack/chimney is screwed into your outer cylinder with an Allan wrench. Turn it upside down and put your juice between the stack and outer cylinder. I could do it with a regular dropper, but a needle tip dropper would have been easier. Screw the base on top of that<your cylinder/stack is still upside down. Tighten and your ready.

Here's where you might have an issue. If you like airy draws, forget it. The air port is on the threaded base. If you get a Squape, and like "airy", you're going to be putting a bigger draw hole in it. Otherwise, SUCK a bit more. Great flavor (Lemon Loves Cake and Twas Brillig, tnx, AiV!), the vape plume is crazy even with the tight draw.

One thing I noticed, and I'm watching it........... the Squapes leak very slightly from the post, not the air draw. So is this a minor adjustment to the screw in the post or what? Dunno, will play with them. Unless you don't mind cleaning the pin off of your mod.:glare:

So........as far as this particular Squape......not too impressed because of the leak. If I find a fix, I'll post. Rockin' those "Svoe Mesto" KFL's in the meantime.....they are the BOMB!:headbang:

The sku on mine was 13165. No leak, but the draw is too airy for me. Adjusting the pin doesn't do much, so I used an airflow adapter. That said, I like a tight draw, as I've been using clearos until now.

And ya see ... this is what I get for demanding your presence, and that you post something .... COMPLETE TORTURE! ... Alright, that's it, all you Kayfun people leave me at once!! :cry::cry::cry:

Kidding of course, I love you all too much, and I need you to share in my crazy! :lol: ... and besides, I can't complain too much, as I am officially a Taifun person :blink:

You say Kayfun, I say Taifun, ahh its all in the family :p .. And did you hear Crocky, about the Kayfun and Taifun mating which resulted in the child that is known as the Expromizer RBA, conceived in Germany, and birthed in China?? :laugh:

Word on the skreet is its a Kayfun killer :ohmy: Don't know how true it is, but that is what I hear.

I may be in the minority on this but I think the expromizer is ugly. A different tip may help but I don't have high hopes.

Oh my....I am sooo out of the loop, the ecig industry is like technology.....go to bed with ios3 wake up with ios7 :). I will have to check out what you speak of as the expromizer and see what she is all about! Are they actually available anywhere?


edited. To say I just found that exhale was the only place that carries them as of now....looks interesting for sure, reminds me of the RSST as far as looks Which I loathe but bottom fed. Will definitely keep an eye out on the performance and when they hit other vendors :). I am not sure whether to thank you or send you my bill for causing me to have shinyitis syndrome....LOL

I didn't think it was ugly, but I did wish that they would have made the aesthetics a bit more interesting, and appealing. It reminds me of an AC9 or an AGA T2 with the cone shape. I think the right pairing with Mod and drip tip can save it .. being that its being manufactured in China, I will wait for the clone, cause ya know its coming! :laugh:

Is there a way to be notified when the KFL #13202 is back in stock?

Off the top of my head I don't know which one that is? ... I don't think they have a notify system on the website however, you can email Doris and request to be notified .. That is in fact how I met her in the first place. The Fogger V2 was sold out and I wanted it, so I emailed them to ask when it would be restocked, and Doris replied in less than 24 hrs ... and we've been happily ever after since then :p

Say what? You loathe the RSST's looks :ohmy: I actually like the RSST, but never got around to getting it .. I'm hoping that one day it shows up in a bargain bin for $12 :D

And Crocky, you know you can always count on your fellow, enabling vape addicts to jack up your monthly budget! :lol:

Urgh! Got up this morning and the 13164 Squapes had totally leaked out all their juice!:(

Sooooooooooo.........
FC Squapes:
13164: Bottom leaks through bottom post through screw, very tight draw...........Just say "NO".
13165: No leaks, if you like an "airy draw", this ones gets a "Yes". Use an air flow adapter to reduce it, or take a pass.

I still have my Russian 91%'s coming (they finally got out of the warehouse) and I'll post them once they get here. I MIGHT take the Squapes apart, but I think I have "2 dead soldiers" on my hands. I pulled the screws just now for ****'s and grin's, and there's an o-ring between the screw and the threaded post. Either the screw's head is too small or the o-ring isn't beefy enough.
After fiddling with so many different "toppers" for about 11 months before the 1st KFL, (seriously, building coils for the PT2's was a "step up" but don't ever want to go there again!) I'm to the point of if I have to screw with these things to make them perform, I'm just going to put them in the "spare parts" box.:glare:

A little 411 folks (not Focalecig related) ... a friend of mine emailed me and said that "The trustfire 001 chargers are apparently having issues. The EU is basically pulling em from the shelves"

So please be advised for anyone using this charger ...

The running joke if you check out threads on batteries and chargers is that if it has "Fire" in the name.......well, you've been warned!:laugh:
I had a Trust Fire charger months ago and the cord sheathing literally deteriorated right where it entered into the charging unit. Just crumbled off. Only had it for 2 months. Got an Intelicharger and it's been working great for the last 8 months.:thumb:

************ New Product Alerts ***************

There is yet another Caravela tube set on the scene (SKU 13537) however, this one gives me great cause to be excited! This set is reminiscent of the very high quality EHpro 18350 Caravela mod already being sold at Focalecig. This new set is 23mm, bears the same heavy, thick tubing as the 350 Caravela, the mirror polish finish, and is 63 grams heavier than the other all stainless Caravela tube set ... with another very enticing product detail .... An adjustable copper contact in the top cap :banana:

**** THIS CARAVELA SET IS CURRENTLY ON GROUP BUY SPECIAL FOR $25 .. INSANE DEAL! ****

Now the bottom cap has an adjustable brass contact, which we know is a good electrical conductor however, copper is far superior to brass in terms of electrical conductivity (copper being 100% conductive), So this Mod is poised to be a very hard hitting one, in addition to the refined elegance of a mirror polish finish, the durable quality of thick machined tubes, and of course the variety of 3 battery tube configurations. :D

Whoever has been following this thread knows what a huge fan I am of the EHpro 18350 Caravela, from quality, to looks, and performance ... This new Caravela tube set has me :drool: ... I gotta make this happen!





But I'm not done ... the next eye catcher for me is the Aqua RBA .... with the red o rings :D Now, from what I understand, the red o ring version of the Aqua is the one to have. The e liquid channels look nice and deep on this one too ... I am actually a fan of the aesthetics of the Aqua, yet another one on my very long wish list of vape gear, in addition to the Origin Mod that goes with the Aqua ...

There is also on new arrival the Tobecco Kayfun Lite, several new RDA's including the Vortex, a Foggy V18, IGO W3, and two new Patriots ... I sure hope that FOCALECIGSHARING discount coupon is still in effect :rickroll:

SKU 13202:

Definitely a winner!!! Cheap, but built well, practically seamless, I actually wished I had bought these first, instead of the other KFLs. Contact Doris about future stock. The only down side is that it does NOT come with any extra parts or screw driver. $15.00 and some change, you can't pass it up!
