I still don't know a difference, honestly. What if you try to make 4 pics (or still them from net). 510 charger, 510 battery top, 808 charger and 808 battery top. They just do not understand what you are talking about.

But I will just give it up to much crab for piece under $1, as far as I have 3 of those anyway.

Got the Russians yesterday, cleaned one up, built a 1.2 coil............urgh.........what is this slightly metallic taste? Is it because I did a 1.2 instead of the regular 1.0?
So this Russian doesn't leak, had juice in it over night............switched out the drip tip.............WHAT?!?!?! Metallic taste GONE!
WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!?!?!?!

Will get pics up soon.....Spring is pretty much here and way too much to get done!

Sometimes drip tips not easy to clean. I use little tooth brush almost lake tooth pick only with brush on end. I hate to clean drip tips cant really see if its fully clean, so go like with teeth - 3 min lol

A quick question for you Focal ecig thread regulars. I placed an order with them via PayPal yesterday and have not received any email notification from them with the exception of the statement that PayPal sent. Is that normal? I wanted to check my order status, but I have no order number......

It is normal.
1. Try to login with you account, click om your e-mail and it will send you to a page with you orders.
2. You can see # of your order in PP pay conformation. # starts from Q3..-something 9-numbers.

I hope one of those works. If not, send request to FC and they will send you your order number (they ask you to provide PP e-mail what payment was sent from)

To add to this, if you didn't create an account, they don't automatically do it for you but you can do so now with your paypal addy and your orders will still appear.

So how does this work? Ordered my big order, three mods and several toppers, on the 18th. As of today, it still says collecting items. My Taifun GT, that I ordered last night, has already shipped.

Only difference is I did HKP with the big order and EMS for the Taifun. What the heck?

Check on every item what you ordered - some of them say - may take 3-7 days to ship. Even if only one item from order is not ready for shipping they will wait on it. But as far as I know (18+7) your order must be shipped not later then 25.03. Something like that. And its suck to wait.
You can contact them and ask to split the order, but its only 3 days anyway, not worth to bother

Everything I ordered, including the Taifun last night, said 3-7 days. Totally cool with that, was just wondering if it normally takes that long.

What were the shipping times listed for the items in your big order?

Question for you all....I don't recall if this was ever asked but how often do the group buy items change? Weekly? Biweekly?

Sent from a BIG phone.....Galaxy Note 3

They run Group Buys fairly often ... I would say maybe at least twice a month? ... each Group Buy runs anywhere from 2 to 7 days depending on the item.

As a follow up to my problem I posted yesterday. I purchased a cheap starter kit to try. I was sent an eGo tank and battery with an 808 charger. they responded to my email quickly and asked me to send pictures. I sent detailed pictures of the mismatch. they responded that they checked the ones in stock and they were fine. Then they wanted me to send videos. For a $1 charger I decided to just let it go. it is not worth the frustration. I got a bunch of 510 chargers in from Fasttech yesterday. I will use one of those and just take the loss. I'm sure their intentions were good and wanted to solve my problem but it seems like the language barrier was becoming the problem. They didnt seem to understand what I was trying to describe. Other than slow shipping, I really have had no problems with Fasttech. I will probably just stick them. I really saw no advantage to using FE. If I'm looking for something better quality and quicker delivery, I use a U.S. vendor. I have found a few that have good prices, good quality and fast shipping. Im sure eventually I will have a problem with Fasttech, but my expectations are not that high when I can buy a clearo for $2 and have it shipped for free from the other side of the earth.

Thanks for letting us know, and I agree with you, a picture should have sufficed, no need to send video as it would not reveal anything further. This is a disappointing response that I will bring to Doris's attention, as I doubt this was her handling ... this sounds like "staff". For a $1 charger you should receive an apology, and replacement.

How do you guys think the white 18350 caravela would look with the white omega rda on top? I'm thinking that might be my next purchase because this maraxus is too heavy and big to be a carry piece.

By "white" I am assuming you mean stainless steel, because there are no white Caravela's ... Yes, I think the Omega RDA would make a very nice pairing with the 18350 Caravela .. but note, that little baby is also fairly hefty at 116grams. It is still lighter than the Maraxus, but it will weight your pocket down none the less. And its also more of a "show piece" than a "beater".

If you are looking for something lightweight, and easy to carry around, then the Astro or the Atom Mods are very good choice. Both are small compared to other Mods, and they are miniscule in 18350 (smaller than the Caravela), yet they are good performers, and would also look good with the Omega. :)

Well, most items are listed to ship within 3 to 7 days, as the items are pulled from a warehouse, so the bigger order has more pieces to collect (FC shares a warehouse with the parent company Wallbuys). With certain other items, in this case the Taifun, you ordered it as soon as it came into stock, so it went out straight away as there were no other pieces to retrieve to go with it ... not very unusual, but it won't hurt to send an email re: the bigger order just for your own peace of mind, but I am sure all is well.
