I like a cooler vape .. those warm vapes wear on my throat quickly. I don't mind a slightly warm vape, but I can't do the very warm, to hot vapes.

One of these I might do something crazy like get a hammer, they actually look cool with several different rba's.

They look amazing with a brass Kraken. That's the next big thing I want, though any squared-odd RBA looks good on them in my opinion. The Aqua is real nice and I like my Kayfun on it too. My Russian is a little odd though with the matte finish.

AAAAAA...:lol::lol::lol:

I got both from FC. 2 days battling GS, got it - love it to death, for sure will get more, sadly shape doesn't feet perfectly with anything, but i'm ready to ignore this fact because it's so so tasty.
Day 3 fighting with GT - i can't win yet, licking and more licking. Anyway i do not really like such big size... well may be i just ...... off because that thing refuses to communicate with me. I will say final word after i bit it. Grrr...

Are you using cotton? What did the trick for me was leaving about 1mm outside the holes in the chamber, and puff the cotton so it kind of blocks the holes. That way it wicks good.

Now what is your problem with the GT, getting the right amount of wick? I know some struggle with that when using cotton, which I don't use in the GT. Initially I used ss mesh and silica top wick, but now I just use 2mm xc116, and love it.

Thank you for sharing, sure will try that.
GT works like charm now.
My problem with GT... i need to grow more brain, or at list start to use what i have (swearing...). I did push base too dip, so inside part wasn't connected so juice was going strait to air hole when i was torching poor wick, aha :facepalm::facepalm:

Thank you.
That's what i did and after getting sick of getting it right by threading it into coil i just dropped some just on top of all that mess. Now i can at list guess how much it should be there.

This answers a question for Jonnysmooth too .. He asked me about setting up the wick holes with cotton on the GT, but I don't use cotton, so I couldn't help him that much.

How ya doin Corspe? :) ... And how is your Aqua? Looks like it might be going on sale in a day or two, so this might be my moment to pounce. :laugh:

Aha ... yeah, gotta get that chimney sleeve up all the way .. Well now that you got it worked out, you should be in love with the GT. ;-)

How ya doin? ;)
My advice? Go for it. It may be a little fiddly to setup, but it pays off in the end.
I vape my DIY 70vg/30pg red Astaire from T-Juice on it and it's SICK AS T*TS! :D

I'm good, trying to behave myself... its a struggle :laugh: Alright well, I may have to do that because so far I have not heard even one bad word about the Aqua, all seem to like it. But jeez, then I will be burdened with the pressure to find a 21mm mod for it .. You know I am set up obsessive, in that I need a completed "outfit" *sigh* ... :p

You wanna have a bad word about the Aqua? Here it is. It takes 15-20 min to make a new setup, it has a small tank and it`s too beautiful to get it scratched at work ;) :)
With the Origin Mod you can use it in hybrid mode and with 18350 it´s less than 5 inch tall. Origin has magnets and the switch works very smooth. After a little mod it`s the best switch I have had so far.

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND UPDATES FOR FC ****


First, the offices and warehouse of Focalecig will be moving on April 30th, therefore there will not be any orders being packed by warehouse workers on that day, as they will be busy with the move, and reorganizing. Please be patient if you have placed an order within the last couple of days, and do not see any movement on your order.

This is a decision that is out of Doris's hands, and she hopes it will be a beneficial one for all, but only time will tell ... so please be advised in case things get a little jainky for a moment, but hopefully this will not be the case.

Next order of business ... The first batch of Squapes (200 pieces) from the Group Buy have arrived at FC, and Doris has informed me that EVERY SINGLE SQUAPE will be checked by warehouse staff prior to being shipped out. The first batch of Group Buy Squapes are scheduled to begin packing for shipment on May 3rd. At this very moment, there are 208 Squapes sold on the Group Buy.

Finally, we are approaching another Chinese Holiday (Labor day) which is from May 1-3rd, so please be advised that FC will be closed during this time. If you should send an email to CS during the Holiday period, you will receive a reply once they return from the Holiday.

Doris is also going to set up a new promotional sale to run during this Holiday period. I have no idea what items will be placed on sale, but hopefully there will be some good stuff.

As usual, orders made during the promotion, and Holiday will not begin processing until AFTER FC staff returns after May 3rd, so please keep this in mind while you are placing any orders during this time.

Happy Vaping my lovelies. :)
Thanks for the head's up! glad I ordered my Copper Black Stingray a few days ago, it's been shipped already :) can't wait! if it's as you said it is and, i'm sure you're right ;) it's gunna be epic...

It "hybrids" with the Origin, so not that much thinking involved. XD

You're a bad influence on me Rudi, you do realize this? :laugh: ... the Orgin mod is exactly what I want to pair with it, but FC stopped selling it, and I think FT too, not 100% sure ... I was looking at it on 101vape today, but its $40, which is not a lot, but relative to the prices in China, it begins to appear that way. :p

Oh well .. guess I will just have to break into the ole puppy bank ... I mean piggie bank :D

Oh the pressure! :laugh: ... I am glad it shipped already, and you have to let us know how it is, my biggest questions are about the black coating, and the logos. As in will that coating hold up, or scratch off, and also the quality of the logo etching. But I am sure about the positive pin being floating. :)

i'm hoping to maybe see it sometime next week... well, with any luck. when it does come i'll give you the full scoop. i'm happy as hell it has a magnetic switch and floating 510 :) and if they went that far i'm betting the coating and engravings won't disappoint ;)

You may very well see it next week, my last order was received in 7 days ... that is not the norm, but its the 2nd time that has happened to me with an order from FC. Actually the coating does look solid in pics, very even, and not splotchy like some pics I've seen elsewhere.

Oh I would definitely need the SS girlfriend! I actually think the Brass one is prettier, but the SS Aqua calls for the SS Origin! Is it crazy that there is something about the red orings on the Aqua that I find attractive? :p
