received the group buy ss
stingray today morning (shipped on 05/16): 13 days, it's been quite fast! Singapore post, no tracking.
i haven't received 3 orders yet (shipped on may the 11th, 12th, and 14th, i.e., before than the stingray); i think (but not sure) they had tracking feature. got another ss stingray from FT yesterday, via sing post as well; it was shipped on 05/06: 21 days.
both ss stingrays (FT and FC's group buy) are very similar (but FT's one, that with the drip tip included, was expensive). the only differences are: floating pin is loosy in FT version, while it is hard to move in FC (i don't know which is better); the insulator in FT switch is threaded, the switch is a bit crunchy (but well enough), while i wasn't able to dismount FC switch (can't pull the insulator out), and it is very smooth. i love this switch. threads were fine in both versions (only one thread of each mod needed some attention).
how i'd wish they make a kinda beauty ring to allow working in 18650+kick.. i've just ordered a 18500 battery
got rid of the oil machine taste in the
squape at last, thanks to your guidelines (i couldn't try denture cleanser tablet, Drip cat, cos i was a bit lazy to go shop it, but thx, will consider it next time). now i should rinse it a bit further to get rid of certain dish detergent taste, lol.
made my first setup in it (very easy one!), using kanthal ribbon 0.5mm (31awg), 4 wraps over 3mm ekowool; that combination gave me a 1.7ohm resistance in the kayfun, and i was surprised the ohm meter was reading above 3ohms in this one. i tightened the base to the ohm meter a bit close, and the reading started to jump as crazy. "oh, no, i got a 'shorter' one!", i thought. but after screwing the base totally, it read 1.4ohm. now, after vaping, it reads 1.2ohm: i'm afraid i left some hotspots in the coil..
it vapes like a champ, nothing to envy to the kayfun. nikki, your experience says a bit more vapor than kf, and similar flavor. people use to say better flavor (due to shorter chamber) and less vapor (due to less air flow), but i agree with you, maybe because the resistance of my squape coil went a bit low, and/or i found the trick to vent the 510 air holes in the nemmy, or whatever. i'm loving it very very much because of this, and because no leaking at all, the glass tank, and the ability of check and rebuild the setup by a cleaner way than in the kf (not having to drain the juice, etc) =)))
amazing your video, people has said everything about it. much art in it (music, colors, shapes..
. i'd wish to see the decoration of your house, the vapeporn is great, but the places where you had put it are superior.
