It was just a couple hours ago.

As for me, yes, I am basically new here, at least for posting. Just placed my first order from china today with focal.

Ordered a nemesis, origin, chi you, and the 3 tube caravela set. Also, got two different kayfuns, caravela rba, squape (the good one), Prometheus, fogger v3, and an aqua. Wanted a Taifun gt, but they're out of stock :(

So, now the wait begins.

Btw, I used the HKP shipping option, would EMS have been better? Read that HKP CAN be really fast, but had some problems awhile ago. Hope I'm not waiting for months.

NNNNice, i guess X-mas comming to your house as well)))

Honestly i dont think FC any faster then FT but... big BUT. I always know where my order at. If it sad on page - may take from 3-7 days to ship, i know it will be shipped not later then 7 days. FT - shipping in 3 days... ooops restocking 4 days... nice... waiting for packaging ooops 5 days... packaging other 4 days (... its 1 set of batteries 18350, what's hell you are doing with them?)

In fact, even if it sad from 3 to 7 days it still can be shipped before that - happened to my order with kayfun.

I love honesty and full info up to date, not .......ing messages - your order awaiting to be a packaged - well, i read English body - how long?

I agree! If you tell me how long, I'm good with it. If you give random ever changing ship dates, I start getting cranky.

Well, I got my K101 from last week's group buy today already, one week from the close of the group buy. I did the HK post option since I didn't want to have to go to the post office to sign for a register package. Pretty darn quick.

I have to say FC are a lot quicker to here in the UK than FT are and that is why I have a soft spot for FC as it does seem to be a company that gives a damn rather than grab the money 'n' run cough cough Vaporbreak cough (sorry couldn't resist) :p

Now if FC carried some of the more exotic's that FT get I would gladly put my dosherooni their way but hey the company has to grow before it can experiment like FT can.

The Focale Kayfun 3.1 I got has slowly edged into the lead since I recoiled it again, I made something mental called a Clapton coil and it was sitting there looking forlorn and so I had to try it out, fresh cotton, Red Raspberry juice is woooow, I've bought a Lotus clone to go with my Maraxus and I am soooo looking forward to that.

I'm itching to use my electroplating kit now on some bits, I am thinking gold plated Kayfun might be nice and the Focale Kraken might look sweet with a plating, as I have copper, brass, gold, replica chrome and black nickel solutions, I am waiting for my zincate's to arrive so I can plate alloys and my daughter wants to try out engraving using me dremel so maybe I might give her a mod to dicker about with.

Dayum Keyman! You were not playing around with this order! ... did you leave anything for the rest of us? :laugh:

When HKP is working normally, its usually 8-10 days from the date of shipping. I have found EMS to 7 to15 days from the date of shipping, so they are comparable. You will not be waiting months though.

You are fixin to have a mighty fine vape mail day my friend, and I hope it all goes for well for you too! :)

Delboy! :banana: ... How are you my dear? You sound busy as usual crafting your marvelous vapes ... And I finally got my hands on a 3.1 too! Having truly been enjoying the vapes, its working very well for me right out of the gate.

Now a gold plated 3.1 sounds very nice, or the Kraken .. which ever one you decided to treat, YOU MUST post pics so I can the finished product. :)

Well, my wife and are horse trainers (read poor) so we never have money I can spend on fun stuff like this. I sold off a case of ammo today to fund my little shopping spree. Still wish they had the Taifun though.

Even thoug i havent completed an order from FC yet (just placed my first one yesterday for a nemesis), I have high hopes about their service. So I really wish they had the sigelei Zmax V5 for sale.

I ordered one from slowtech 8 days ago, under their usual false advertisement of "ships in 3 business days". and as allways, just a few hours ago (8 days later), my order has changed from "Scheduled Ship Date: 3/18/2014" to "Restocking"... :mad: :evil: :-x

If FC would have it, i would cancel my ft order immediately and order it from FC.

I am SO MAD at slowtech right now, i was gonna start a new rant thread, but i dont want to be banned from the forum for excessive use of profanity.

In any case, and depending of how my order with FC goes of course, from now one my primary china supplier will be FC, and i will resort to slowtech only when FC doesnt have what i want

I dont expect Doris to get on a plane ASAP, and knock on my door to get me my nemesis. All that i ask is that they ship my order in the time they advertised. (3 to 7 days)
And from all the positive comments here, i have high hopes that they will.

O, yes, I just got my order shipped after 19 days wrapping when supposed to be 3. Because 1 stuppid drip tip they was holding $60 order. I would cancel damn thing if i new it will hold everything else...

And, yes, if FC have product what i'm looking for no way i will buy it from FT

That was real fast. One of my K101 was ordered on the 9th China post, shipped on the 15th.

:laugh: ... and I have lighten to up on the wine because I totally mistook "Keymaster" for "keyman"! ... but just like the Kayfun, the names are so similar that it is an easy mistake to make.

Now with two "key" usernames in thread I will have to pay closer attention :p I hope that both of your orders arrive quickly, and based on SueGeo's feedback, we may all benefit from giving HKP a go with our next orders. :)

Ouff, I can feel for your frustration ... I also like the Zmax a lot, and if I had the spare money I would go for that one too. I want a new APV because the Vamo is not sexy enough for me to use for anything other than an ohms, and volt meter right now :laugh:

Your issue is precisely the reason I was looking for another China vendor to buy from ... Cut FT a tiny bit of slack because since they have been the "go to" vendor for so long, they are always over sold on high demand products, which makes for a lot of frustrated customers sometimes because it happens so often.

Having Focalecig means that we don't have to rely on just FT to get what we want, so I hope in time it will even out the "supply and demand" ... It would be awesome if FC would stock the Zmax ... so awesome!

I wish you luck with both orders from FC and FT, and hopefully your Nemesis will ease some of the pain for the delay with the Zmax. :)

I see they got 1.8Ohm Aspire dual coil clearo's up on FC today, pretty well rated atty and a dual coiler means its on a par with a ProTank3 for vapeypoos.

So Nikkita, you having fun with a 3.1? I do like the Kayfun's for their reliability and a wick lasts ages in 'em as well and being able to strip down and hot wash means cleaning is a breeze too :D

The Clapton coil is out again, hot spotted and melted (it was like 2 foot of 32g wrapped around a guitar string) and tasted 'orrible so back in with a twisty wire 28g microcoil and some fresh cotton, its hard to think only a few short months ago I was clueless and now just whip me wire out and chunder up a coil and its usually spot on too, gone from being a noob to at least an advanced noob hehe

BTW I was seeing them CE4's on Focale and thinking they look quite swish in the tin and everything, FT you get a plastic bag and feel lucky to get that :p

Oh I am sure you will get it down at some point ... some things are a process right? I have faith in you :)

FC put up some Aspire's? The glass or the plastic version?? I'll go lookey when I am done checking in here. I actually have the Aspire ET-S glassomizer, and it is an awesome performing, flavor producing clearo so long as the heads are good. I fell in love instantly when I first got it, and it was my best and favorite vape at that time. What sullied it for me was that the replacement heads I had didn't live up to the stock coil that came with it .. from there I went on to RBA's so I haven't been back to it ... The stainless steel glassomizer version is gorgeous too.

The 3.1 is treating me very well, totally pleased with it, no troubles ... I am on my third tank full now, and all I can think now is about the nano kit I want to get for it :laugh: I keep looking at it like "FINALLY" ... I did have one snafu today, when I initially fire it, the coils and juice pop (to be expected) however, the pop of the juice is so strong that it shot straight up into my eye :shock: .... the pain of that e liquid in my eyeball :facepalm:

Been firing it with my eyes closed ever since .... (true story) :lol:
