I really, really like this KFL, and somehow the flavor production on it is better than my 3.1 ... And I am actually glad that this one does not have adjustable air flow because I believe that the adjustable air flow is the true culprit behind all the whistling kayfun's ... this one does not whistle at all, and I find the air flow to be perfect, neither tight, nor loose.
I'm in it with you. I love that one, partly why i didn't buy anyone from group buy or Easter sale, waiting when this one will go on sale, aha, and yes! i'm cheap:D

From what I have heard if you put a small piece of mesh in vent hole the whistle will stop. I just got mine from the group buy yesterday and have to clean it up and put new coil in. Never use ones they send. I will keep you posted on my results with whistle issue

I ordered 2 of the Nemmy clones for $14.90/ea last week and an anxiously awaiting their arrival! Nothing but good things to say about my experience with focal so far, I had a couple questions which Doris quickly answered, she seems very pleasant and eager to please the customer. Worst part about all this is the wait :-(

So true about Doris, she's a gem. :) ... Those new logo-less Nemmies are looking sweet too ... If I ever get a Nemesis, it will probably be one of these, as I never really cared for the Angel of Death logo, but I like the finish, and polished accents on it.

I hope your order goes smoothly, and that you don't die with anticipation while waiting. :p

:laugh: ... When you combine "smart", with "cheap", it means you are "frugal" ... like me :D

I think putting this KFL on sale, or Group Buy is a good idea, so glad that I got this one ... NO WHISTLING :p

In fact, Doris should put this KFL and the Turtle Ship V2 on sale together, and call it " Nikki's Pick ", because these two devices go so very well together. It feels right, and vapes right ... so much so that I have not even touched my other set ups since Tuesday (true story).

I am usually vaping on at least two set ups at a time, yet this is the only set up I have been using for the last day and half, that is how much I like it. :banana: Fakeboxmesto KFL and Turtle Ship V2 (350 mode) :thumb:

**** BETTER STINGRAY ALERT .. kinda ******


For those of you who have seen the Fasttech offerings, you know they are not so good, most especially because the top cap, and bottom switch design on the most recent offering is wrong. This version at least has the correct top, and bottom switch design, which are 1:1. The only thing that I can't get a clear feel for are the Stingray logos on the body ... paint or engraving??? The listing says "surface paint" but that could be in reference to the black coating.

This version also comes with a proper gift box, and a drip tip ... Not sure who the manufacturer is, but I do know that this exact version is selling on Ebay for $55 and up .. Will keep investigating to see if I can find out who the manufacturer is, but at the least the top cap and switch are correct.

My group buy Nemesis clone (SKU: 18302) came in yesterday, and after fiddling with it for about 30 minutes last night, got it working. Hits great, my first 18650-sized mech so it's a considerable improvement over using 18350s. A few machining flaws here and there but only noticeable close up. I'll try to take a few pictures when I have more time.

The firing button is crunchy but it's not nearly as problematic as I thought it would be. Also, the markings are different than in the pictures: the logos and writings are not engraved, only etched. A tiny disappointment but for $15 shipped, this was a solid purchase.

edit: I should add that I ordered this on 4/10 and it arrived on 4/23, pretty darn quick compared to FT.

Got my silver pin (SKU 126311) Nemmy and KFL (13539) the other day. Didn't have time to build the KFL but immediately noticed how hard the Nemmy hits with just a Protank! After taking some time with the Tobeco KFL I understood why it's such a well renowned RBA. The flavour and nicotine hit is great. The bottom fill screw leaked until I added some PTFE tape, which I gather is a problem with the original Svoemesto as well. The o-rings on the tank parts also seem a bit thin and it's hard to get it entirely sealed. After I added a few more thin strips of PTFE tape everything is working fine, and I think I've gotten the hang of how to refill it without half the tank leaking. I'm now tempted to get a few more KFLs!

Awesome! .. That was good shipping time, I am pretty happy with Epacket shipping myself.

I always hear that the Nemesis switches are crunchy, but also that the magnet upgrade makes a world of difference. Definitely upload pics when you get a chance, would like to see them. :)

Glad that your order came through ok, and you sound pleased with it. If you are into getting more Kayfun Lites, I would highly recommend the KFL sku 12113, this is the one that I just received, and I am so happy with the performance of it. The o rings on it are thicker too, and so far my fill port does not leak.

The first time I used the fill port I had a tiny bit of eliquid on the top cap of my mech, but I think this was from excess fluid left around the hole from filling it, because I have since checked the fill port, and base, and it is completely dry.

Post some pics if you can, would love see your new set up. ;)

Totally forgot to mention that I will get the magnetic switch upgrade. My only concern is that since they aren't available through FEC, I'll have to look elsewhere and that the dimensions won't make them compatible. At least most vendors list the exact size so I can measure, shouldn't be too hard.

Go to fatdaddyvapes on Ebay, he may even have a website off ebay. He specializes in magnet upgrades for the Nemmy clone, and several other mech clones as well. They will definitely fit. :)

I can tell by the provided images that is not an engraved Stingray, see the shiny copper on the logo....not engraved unfortunately.

However if your looking for a copper mod with three battery tubes you could do much worse, the switch and top cap on this is awesome. You would need to brush that black coating off the threads for ultimate contact though.
 
Ohhh boy, new to ecf, and first time using focalecig and fasttech. I purchased the groupbuy mixed nemisis from focalecig on 4/6 said it would ship on 4/11. Ended up shipping on the 13th, no big deal really. Tracked it in New York on 4/20 then to my surprise shows up in Tampa Fl on 4/23 (I live in Va) so I guess usps f'd up. It was processed in tampa 3 times yesterday for some reason. Not focalecigs fault.
Ordered from fasttech same day as focal ecig 4/6. 2 sony vtc4s, gold trident clone, and charger. Waited patiently for my items to be ready to ship. Vtc4s said theyd ship on 4/14. 4/15 I sent an email asking if there was an update on the sonys. Next day they were switched to "restocking" that straight up ...... me off so I canceled them. Finally on 4/16 order shipped...tracking still says theres nothing found. And fasttech just keeps saying to wait a few more days for tracking info. Its been over a week.
So far for me personally. Fasttech will never see any of my money again. Id rather pay extra bucks to deal with local sellers. Focalecig I have no complaints about, so far they have done their part with more professionalism.

That is what I was afraid as far as the body logo ... I was hoping it wasn't the case because the switch and top cap are perfect.
