I have received my first two orders from Focalecig and I am quite satisfied with everything.
The first order was for three of the Tebeco kayfun Lites that were on group buy last month. They all appear to be in good shape. The only things that are different from a Tebeco kayfun Lite that I purchased a few months ago here in the US is the oring in the top cap is in a grove on these three and the juice channels are a little wider and deeper. I don't think that will be a problem because I am starting to use higher VG juices now. These larger channels should help with wicking.
The second order was for a mixed Nemesis, needle tip bottles and mod pouches from the Easter sale. The Nemesis checks out good and with no cleaning or anything I tested the voltage drop and got .12 volts drop with a fully charged Sony US18650VTC4 battery with a 1 ohm coil. The switch works ok, but I am sure magnets would make it better.
I have to say I am pleased with these purchases and will most definitely order again from Focalecig.

Enjoyed your blog, you did a great job organizing this thread for recall, when it comes time to buy a mod, and other stuff. Thanks.

I have a Kayfun lite also, it's not from Focal, but I think it must be from the same factory,- (it came in identical box as Focal) same exactly as the one you reviewed. While I use my Kayfun 3.1 more because it is easier to top fill, and I just really like the 3.1, I tried one thing that helped me top fill with the Kayfun lite. The problem was that little o ring in the top cap seemed to keep getting stuck on the chimney, plus the threads are not as long on the cap on the Lite and it is a tighter fit. (My Kayfun lite from Fasttech was such a mess I wanted to scrap it when I got it, long story.) I swapped out a chimney from a Kayfun 3.1 to the Lite, Presto fixed the problem. I have even been able to top fill, with only 1 time out of several that little o ring popping off on the chimney.

Also for Midwest Focalecig purchasers, the stuff routes through Chicago for me, which always is the fastest time in my area. I don't get into shipping stuff much personally, I figure at the prices it's robbery to complain even if it takes a month or longer. But Focal is faster than both Fasttech and Vaporbreak in the Midwest. Mine left on a Monday and was in Chicago within a week.

Have a great week.

You are welcome hun, and its not a dumb question at all. There are so many variances between top caps, and switch designs in mechs. Glad you were able to get it worked out. :)

Thanks Nikkita. I did have to unscrew the connection way out. I assumed this connection was for the 510 like it is for most of my other mods, but I guess that part is fixed. Sorry for the dumb question...

Did you guys see all those pretty colorful Nemmys in new arrivals? Those looks great (oh boy, made me look even at the pink one:laugh:)

Hahahha ... once again you beat me to it Laylel. I came here to post about the latest "Nemmy Invasion" in the new arrival at Focal.

What is interesting about these is the fact that these are not colored anodized aluminum tubes, like other colored Nemmy's. The description says "Stainless steel and Brass" with a vacuum coating. The threads on the tubes, as well as the inner tube are silver, so I am not certain which part of the mod is brass? ... maybe the locking ring?

I understood him to say this is independent of the 510. Maybe they are allowing space for a kick?

This sounds plausible .. I also thought it was a rather long distance to unscrew for contact with a 650. It would be easier to tell if we could see the length of the main body tube.

This is awesome to hear! And it also appears that the larger, deeper juice channels on the Tobeco KFL are the norm. The one other member who posted pics of her KFL based, it also appeared that the channels were unusually deep compared to other KFL clones.

Thanks for posting an update about your order. :)

Thank you ... swapping out my 3.1 chimney would be awesome except .. I usually have both in use at the same time :p But this may be a reason to get another 3.1, I do want another. :D

Kinda feeling that blue nemmy but i would have nothing to rock it with matching wise

I feel ya ... I am digging that Plum Nemmy, but what the hay would I put with it? ... Oh, just got an idea, Kayfun with either a clear or purple M Tank :D ... You too, KFL w/blue or clear M Tank. ;-)

Or, if you are more into drippers, you can torch an SS dripper to match. :D

:laugh: Hey, it costs money to stay sexy! :banana: ... Well, to cut down potential cost, and since you already have the quasar coming, why not shop for a sexy blue pyrex or acrylic drip tip that would match the blue on the Nemmy? $30 bucks and done! (Nemmy/DT)

Your pockets might be lighter, but damn, your gear is gonna look so fly!! ;-) #getursexyon

Yes, this battery connection is independent from the 510 which appears to be fixed. I thought it might be enough space for a kick but I wasn't able to fit one. While I was able to get it to function, it doesnt seem to hit too hard. I saw a comment from someone else on another thread saying they also had to extend the screw out quite far. Overall, kind of an awkward mod. Its a shame because I think it looks pretty cool.

:laugh: Once upon a time, I used to get paid very nicely for my ability for formulate convincing arguments. ;-)

And if you makes you feel better, I have 9 mechs, and one on the way! :banana: You need at least 10 to be considered a true playa in this game :laugh:

I like to think of myself as more of a vape styles "consultant" and enthusiast. :lol:

Yeah, that does suck .. I wonder what the manufacturer of the device was thinking with having to extend the positive contact out that far to make a connection the the battery? :blink:

You may have better luck with it in the 350 or 500 configurations. Or, perhaps you can get a battery magnet spacer for use in 650. I am sure that screwing your pin out that far is directly affecting the level of connectivity you are getting. But, I have also seen in reviews for the Blackhawk Panzer, and the reviewer said that it simply did not hit as hard as the SS Panzer does ... check some out on Youtube.

It can't be independent really, that screw on the bottom has to screw into the 510 pin or it wouldn't fire. The 510 is two pieces.

Looking at the image I don't think there is enough room for a kick but it's hard to judge really.

It doesn't hit hard because the threads are coated in black, you need to brush the black from the tube threads, the switch threads and the 510 connection (the hardest part).

Once the threads are clean it will hit substantially harder.

That makes sense. Probably should've thought about that before getting the black one. Thanks
