We need to put a bug in Doris's ear to get the 3D automatic dripper in. I am biting at the bit to order one from ebay but keep holding off for some reason

I approve this message! ^^ ... Doris, 3-D dripper to match Nememsis ... I think I suggested the Stingray to Doris, can't remember. :unsure:

Has the 3D been cloned already? :?: Seems to me the authentic just came out.

Hey there nasty, nice of you to join us ... Well, for one, the $20ish dollar Caravela set is sold out, and I don't think its coming back. The good news, since you have the Fogger V3 (which I have also), the $30ish dollar set is at least a better size match being that its also 23mm in diameter, like the Fogger ... but there will be a difference in finish, one being brushed, and the other polished.

The other bonus from what I can see is the adjustable top cap, with copper contact pin .. so I am expecting it to hit like a beast. I have this mod set coming as well, hopefully it will here next week, so I can't give definite feedback on it yet ... but it looks promising.

As far as the as two Nemmies are concerned, I can only share the "word on the street" because I don't own either of them, but I have researched them ... The word is that the cheaper Nememsis performs as well as the more expensive Nemmy, and I have even heard a few say that they preferred the cheaper one. The quality is said the be comparable to the more expensive version, with the added bonus of two beauty rings, instead of one.

The following is a pic that was taken by someone who owns both versions, and did a side by side parts comparison picture:

As far as other mods ... again, since you have the Fogger V3, the Astro would be a very nice choice as well. It is 23mm (22.8 exact), and the finishes are comparable, and they look good together (I have both). For a first time dripper, you might want to give the V12 a shot, being that is has three different size airholes. :D

thanks for the insight. just seconds ago, i pulled the trigger on the cheaper nemesis+patriot. i went to check out that v12 but the color/finish i wanted was sold out. i think my next acquisition will be an astro, as it looks like a classy lightsaber. its bittersweet when one finds a vendor like fc-its cheap and thats excellent, but now i want one of everything, and my cash horde will begin to dwindle. oh well, at least ill be vaping like a boss.

And while you are waiting for FC to get the Stingray in, Nikki already has it in her hands :banana: ... thats right, finally I get something FIRST! I just received the mixed brass Stingray w/matching drip tip today. :D

Actually just took it out of the box about 20 minutes ago, and trying to figure out the fire button because its sticking, but I didn't take it all apart yet ... other than that, these are the silkiest threads I have ever experienced! ... don't know what vendor it came from because it was a surprise gift from a friend. :D

I'll post pics when I can figure out all the pieces in the switch, but I did fire my Kayfun on it, and wholy bits, it hits BEAST!


Damn you....LOL. Seriously though glad you got it. I have seen them on ebay and not bad prices. Let me know how you like it as you use it more. Here is another to add to the FC want list. Got it today, not for you shiny lovers but rugged none the less. I really like it so far and everything I have tried on it thus far fires great

In always forget to turn my ioad when taking a pic. So please turn your heads to view pic....LOL. And for those of you drinking tonight well, your eyes are playing tricks on you :)

This is the one made by Infinite which is their "version" of phantom brass ... the silver plated copper contacts are off the hinges! I put my Kayfun on it, which was previously on the Astro ..... :shock: OMG, it transformed the performance of the whole set up ... I am foggin up my livingroom big time, and the flavor has increased by 10 fold.

The switch is better, prolly just needs to be taken apart and cleaned, because while the threads are silky as hail, they were still dirty in different sections, so the switch prolly has some machine residue in it .... and the fire button is telescopic, so you adjust battery fitment from the bottom :banana:

Ok here it is right side up :). Don't want to be responsible for any neck injuries :)

I can't see clearly what's printed on it. Is this the evolte or something like that?

EDIT~ Found it only cause I remember seeing it posted somewhere else.

Yep it is an E-LVT by firestone. I am pretty impressed with it. VV/VW. I do really like it so far. The one things so far I would bicker about if I had to pick something is it is not very stable in the stand up position....well I have one more, I wish the 510 connection fit flush instead of the ego connection. The only grip I could find online was the ohm checker was off. So far mine has been inline by .1 with my provari. AND it has a flashlight on the end....who doesn't want a flashlight with their mod....LOL
But overall so far so good. Will let you guys know as I use it more.
As for the stingray Nikkita, I might just have to take the leap. Any idea where your friend got it? I think there are a couple folks around selling the infinite version...going to have to check it out.
My only worry is I don't care for brass that much....love the polished look but hate the patina and how it makes your hands smell once it is like that. Phantom brass.....not sure what that is so going to look it up. They do sell the SS version but the brass/SS is so dang sexy I would hate to not get it. But would want to keep it looking shiny without a lot of work....hmmmm

Hey Crocky. I've had my eye on this since it came out. Being a notorious breaker-of-all-things, personally, and also for a family member who's work isn't conducive to breakable mods. I'll be watching to see how it's working out for you, in the coming months.

If it holds up, it may well be a birthday or Christmas present. It's the only thing currently on my "Hmmmm" list.

Yaa a couple new group buys.

The buy button is still working on the Caravela although I'm not sure if Doris would appreciate anyone buying one?

I think that focalecig == wallbuys, and my experience with Wallbuys (with flashlights) was that if you report a problem to their CS, they always first ask for pictures, and then, for some unknown reason(s), always ask for a video "demonstrating the problem", even if the video adds NOTHING to describing the problem. I've never understood why Wallbuys always insisted on the videos (maybe they think it's easy to fake pics, or maybe it's easier for them to understand a problem in video vs. pics), but they basically wouldn't move forward on a problem unless you went through their hoops, at least in my experience. Sounds like focalecig is the same.

Visually the chargers really dont look that different. the only reason I know its for an 808 is that my 808 Halo batteries fit and my 510 batteries dont. my main concern with this issue is that the additional identical products that I ordered arent the same. My other concern is if I have a problem in the future that involves more than a $1 charger, how will it be handled? will I be butting heads with CS?
The email they sent me says they checked the items in stock and they work as they should. If the additional kits are the same, then my opinion will change. I just ordered them, so it will be a few weeks before I know.

A lot of ppl had to contact Doris for any type of problems. Everything was just solved pretty fast and with attention. Not sure what is going there right now, but best bet for you wait till Monday when Doris will be back to work and see how it will work out. She cares for real, so I'm summing she wasn't the one who did processed your case. You actually made me think like - ...? first time I do hear about video.... and what if I don't have video camera lol.

Oh snap, your mod has a flashlight, I'm all for multi functionality :banana: ... its a cool looking box mod.

And yeah, my friend sent me the link where they got it on Ebay .. here it is Stingray Mechanical Mod in Stock Fast Shipping USA | eBay

And I am with ya ... I love the look of some brass devices, but I don't care for patina either, so I will be polishing this baby to keep that from happening. Phantom Brass is supposed to stay prettier for longer, we will see ... and it did not make my hand smell, and I used it for about 4 hours straight last night.

I'm thinking this Stingray is gonna look super sexy with a nano kit, and in 350 mode :D ... this is it in 650 mode 100_3676.jpg

I can tell you from experience that Doris's customer service is A+ and second to none. She always resolves issues quickly, and fairly. In most cases where an item is defective, she will simply send you a replacement, or refund your payment.

If you ever feel that one of the CS staff is "butting heads", please just let me know and I contact Doris directly, and I promise you that she will resolve the issue immediately.

Also, a set of colored replacement glass tubes for PT & aerotanks. 7 for $3.99, US vendors charge that much for one.

I ordered even though I already have a set coming from FT, to get the pink and red which aren't in the FT set.
