New group buy guys. Get you credit cards.
Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod - Silver Golden $14.9
kayfun Lite Style rba Rebuildable Electronic Cigarette Atomizer - Silver(4.5mL) - $14.8
Caravela Type Electronic Cigarette Mechanical Mod - Silver (1 x 18350 / 18500 / 18650) - $25.9




You rock Laylel, you beat me to it! ;-) .. The Caravela set is back up again, and so is the Tobecco Kayfun lite clone for a very nice price ... Just make sure that whoever participates in the Group Buy reads the SHIPPING details for it, for actual shipping time, and standard shipping method for Group Buy items which is not the same as EUB/EMS, unless you pay for the $1.50 upgrade .. Happy Shopping!

You wouldn't want to see mine! I am not adding up the total because then I might be mad at myself. Instead, I will sit here and enjoy a delicious vape from my pretty shiny new toys. :laugh:

Yes ... do not get Cranky started with the obscene amount of mods and RBA's she has purchased recently ... Some of which she is not allowed to mention in my presence :rules: ..... :laugh:

Well i just pick whatever was offered for free shipping. I did contacted Doris and the only different (according to her) no tracking number, what you actually have to pay for $1.50 and only in case if item price under $15.
But, i'm not sure on it. I'm happy my stuff is in mail, not in china stash/base.

I have one and only one gripe with my FC Kayfun Clone:
Does anyone know of any place to get replacement post screws for the Kayfun on the deck? I heard Grimm talking in his Vlog today how he has a clone and the screws bow out and don't really capture the wire and when you tighten them down to catch the wire , the screws force the wire out of place. Mine are doing the same thing and it takes way too long to get it to work correctly and it's just a PITA bc I don't feel like even when I get the leads under the screw heads that it is making a good connection.

Instead of trying to *capture* your wire wrap the wire around the screw just once then tighten the screw.
I think the screws are horrid & I've been doing mine like this for quite a while.

I learned that little trick when one of my post broke on an RBA. Works great & I didn't have to toss it in the trash.

Counting the Atomic RDA, the Seven 22, and the Stingray clone this is $185...too much in a month.

I also have three orders coming from slowtech, but only a voltage meter and drip tip is vape related.

Not bad for one month. This would be my total for one item.
My shopping will slow down though merely b/c I don't know my new 16 digits by heart yet. :p

I replaced the screws on my Kraken and Steam Turbines using M2.5's 4mm for the centre post and 8mm for the deck terminals and because I used allen key ones its made life a lot easier.

You should be able to replace the screws from online retailers, I can get most sizes screw wise for pennies off eBay but I always do a little loop around the screw crossing it over to complete the loop so the tightening actually keeps it in place especially necessary as I use twisted coils and I want to be sure both lines are well snagged.

I ordered some screws online and if anyone runs into the same problem I will see if I can send you some, I ordered 12 of them as that was the lowest I could see offered.

I also found out just now that the size of the post screws is M1.6 and the thread length seems to be 3mm.

Sorry to be a little off topic from the FC thread, I can't wait for my Omega to get here, it should be here next Friday!

Delboy how are you my darling? Been missing you, and NiNi around these parts :cry: ... I miss hearing about your wonderfully romantic vape sessions. :)
 
Just got my order for a Taifun GT from focalecigs.

Pros:
The price was rite! $25.00 or so.

Customer service was very interactive.

Now the product is a perfect 1:1 clone and i am utterly in love with it!

Cons
As i was in contact with Doris (there rep) about other products i noticed my GT was "still being retrieved" after about a week. I asked her about it and she told me it was on back order... at no point did they inform me of this, and the site still said "available". Was told she would have them in a week took two weeks... then shipped.

Thanks for sharing PhatRon ... that is actually very useful information as many of us have no clue what size screws are needed for replacement .. I am lucky, and friend of mine sent me a spare's pack of screws and orings for the Kay, but I don't know the size of them. :unsure:

Thanks for the feedback, I am glad that you are happy with your order. :) ... I have the Taifun GT also from FC, and once word got out that Focal had the Hcigar 1:1 clone, it has been on constant back order due to the high demand for it .. I thinks it worth the wait being that it is an exact 1:1 with the original, and of equal quality. The Taifun is my favorite RBA.

I have also received the Rainbow Heaven Taifun since then, and while it is made well, and provides the same exact vape, it is not 1:1, and the build quality is not as good in some aspects, namely the threading, and the center tube in the top cap ... the Hcigar threads perfectly smooth, without effort .. the Rainbow Heaven is very easy to miss thread, threads are not as smooth, the the center tube often gets stuck in the chimney when trying to remove the tank section. The deck sleeve is also very stiff, and harder to push down, and pull up ... but the vape is identical.

It is worth the wait by far. I was just very upset about the whole not notifying me it was on back order, or atleast posted on the site, it kinda put me off from doing more business with the them. However i will order another taifun, or three or five. Just to have and give out as gifts!
