My parcel is still at heathrow, that's 10 days now and they don't have to deal with customer queries for single parcels as it's impossible to find an item as they have half a million items a day go through. Basically u got told to wait, if it went through customs in a day or two I'd have had my item in around 9 days which is really impressive so focal get there orders out quick. Just wish the royal mail were as fast!

got my protank 2 group buy order from FC within 2.5 weeks from HK to Canada. i had two FT orders done prior to this group buy which i'm still waiting for... grr.

anyway, i'm kinda doubting the authenticity of these protanks. no scratch off, slightly different label box than my other protanks and, sadly, didn't come with a beauty ring!

Hi there focalites! :cool:
After a few orders from FT I found out about FC, so I decided to try them out. Ordered both the Caravelas and the Aqua from the group buys, so now I'll wait and see.
Already Had to contact their wonderful customer support and it went pretty smooth.
Any estimate for how long are packages taking to reach Europe?

Focalites ... I like it. :2cool:

You have any pics of it?? I wouldn't be so quick to assume that its not authentic ... earlier batches of Protanks did not come with scratch offs. That is a fairly new implementation by Kanger. When I purchased my authentic Kangers last year (not from FC), there were no scratch offs. ... now the beauty ring on the other hand??

i'm not too worried about it as i've also gotten protanks without the scratch offs.... my main concern is that it works well! i'll be using it all day today so we'll see.

i am very gutted about no beauty ring though :( hate seeing exposed threading!


will take some pictures later on tonight. i bought 2 PT2s from FC and only opened one...

Uh yeah, WITF is more like it! .. I have been hearing quite a few stories of nonsensical P.O transits in route to the intended destination. I can only imagine how annoyed you feel NiNi :( ... I sure hope the wait was worth it when they finally arrive ... hopefully this week. :unsure:

I didn't know I could get away with WITF!:blink: Will have to wait a few more days before I call "FUBAR" if it disappears into that black postal hole of no tracking!!!8-o

BTW: Just noticed last night that these 3 "Svoe Mesto" KFL's actually have "Svoe Mest" on them :lol:

Get your order #'s and send an email to Doris. My Russians were "processing" for about 2 weeks and I got to the "REALLY?!?!?!" point and shot off a note to Doris and it was posted the same day. Now it's misdirection with the USPS.:facepalm:
I swear, "good things happen to those who wait" better hold true on these!

Yeah, I had to get creative with that one NiNi as the original version was censored :laugh: .. OMG I really can't believe this P.O BS!?? .. I would have gone ballz already, so you're better than me NiNi. :(

LOL ... actually I just read about that little Svoe Mest "typo" the end of last week on FT, I also never noticed it, until someone pointed it out :lol: . But honestly, I would still buy it regardless of that, because the machining on the body looks mints anyways ... but it is funny :p

Placed my first order with Focalecig March 3rd and haven't heard a word since,
is that normal? :unsure:

No, that's not normal .. but also, you do know that you have to log into their website with our paypal email in order to track your order right???? Focal does not send email confirmations of orders, all order status must be tracked on the website. So go over there and create an account using the same email that you used to check out via Paypal, and then you will see what's going on ... I am sure that its been shipped, with a tracking # listed by now ... at least I hope.

Then come back and let us know ... if there is something that you don't understand, one of us addicts will assist you. :D

********* NEW PRODUCT ALERTS *******


Laylel, this one's for you babe! ... So, Doris took me up on some product suggestions because they are presently stocking the following:

Foggatti T22 Electronic Cigarette Mechanical Mod - Silver (2.5mL/1 x 18650) - This is a Genesis Hybrid clone of the well known, original Foggatti T22, with the added bonus of it being a 18650, as opposed to the 18350 version that FT sells. This Hybrid has received A+ marks from buyers, and the only complaint was the wish for a 18650 version ... here ya go!

ETA: WHILE THE LISTING READS "18650" the pictures look like an 18350 battery tube, so anyone who is interested in this Hybrid, I suggest sending in a confirmation email prior to purchase to be on the safe side.

69 SS Telescopic Electronic Cigarette Mechanical Mod - Silver (1x18350/18500/18650) - This is the clone of the Atomixani 69 Telescopic mod ... this clone has also reviewed very well for being well made, and a solid hitting mechanical. The highlights of which is a fire button which can be set either at the top, or the bottom of the mod with some simple unscrewing of tubes ... its versatile! :p


Pisces-T Style Electronic Cigarette Mechanical Mod - Silver + Golden (1 x 18650/18500) - And this little darling of a mechanical mod is loved for its very small, and compact size. In 18650 mode it clocks in at just below 84mm .. aka tiny! This is a easy to transport, pocket friendly Mod.

Don't forget about the awesome Group Buy deal on the Aqua Rebuildable Atomizer for $17.50 .... and its the good one with the Red o rings! :D



Focalecig is growing folks .... Happy Shopping! :vapor:

Actualy you don't need to create a new account with the paypal email.
If you go to your Edit Info page, there's a Paypal Accounts field where you can link your Paypal accounts.

@Nini ~ I posted this in a different thread but figured I'd put it here as well cause you tried your best to help me & I appreciate that.

Ok so I took one of my Kayfuns, dismantled the whole thing & put it in hot soapy water for 30 min.

Started from scratch. Decided to go with yarn cause I was too lazy to get up & get the cotton. :D

Wrapped my coil. Came out at 2.5Ω's. Anything lower was what I was doing before & the results were abysmal.

Instead of a single strand of yarn I did the letter S shape. Made sure I used a nice long length so I'd have enough when I put the chimney back together. Cut it at the top, pushed down, added juice & DAYUM!!!!

Fired fantastically!
Vapor looks like my avatar.
Flavor taste like dry dirt.....
Back to the drawing board.

You are a total nut bucket! :lol: ... did you prime your wicks before you put your chimney on, and filled it? ... I have recently tried cotton yarn on the Taifun GS, and it tasted just like cotton yarn :unsure: .. immediately re wicked it with cotton, and all was right in the world. Also have cotton running in the 3.1 right now .. but I am dying to try a piece of xc116 in this baby, because it rocks socks in the Taifun GT.

I've been following this thread for some time, thanks for all who've contributed! I have a question about the group buys. I've gone in on two - the 18650 Caravela and the Aqua. What is the procedure on fulfilling these orders? The Caravela one ended a couple of days ago and my order hasn't shipped yet. Is there a waiting period after it ends and before they receive the product, like a regular group buy works?

And Nikkita, I was getting ready to ask if the Aqua was the good one w/ red o-rings, and you posted before I needed to ask! Thanks - just purchased one.
