Did you see, did you see???
king V2 Style Mechanical Mod - $28.88 king V2 Style Mechanical Mod -
For funs of Matte surface
Looks very pretty, holly... firing button look so nice.

I did see I did see .. that there is a decent looking mod to match some of the sandblasted RBA's (Russian/Kayfun) I really like the brushed SS or Brass King V2 though. There are a couple of different variations, with slightly different knurling around the top and bottom caps. One of them I like, the other one I don't.

That kill sale is crazy prices, would like to grab the nem for $7 and stillare for $5, but think it will be hard to get the items, so cheap but very limited amount, so going to be gone in seconds.

You gotta be in it, to win it Nailz! :p .. I still have to check it out, but $7 for a Nemesis is beyond a steal. I wonder when they are going to announce the 3 winners of the giveway contest? I think it ends tomorrow, so I guess they will announce them when they return from Dragon Boat Festival.

SKORPEYONNNN! :banana: I was just asking about you a few pages back, so I am happy to you :)

Yup, Focal has made the move to a US warehouse, only three items there right now, but they will gradually increase the inventory available there.
Ya'll can thank me for getting skorp back here!.............even though it would've eventually happened anyway- this was just faster. :p

Congrats on the Nemmy :) Is everything in order with it?

Hey focalecig veterans, couple questions. What's the deal with the group buy? Does it work any differently than a regular sale, other than I'm guessing a unit limit?

Also the 4Nine in the group buy is a different sku (18476) than the one on the main page for $34.09 (18473). Any way to figure out if they're different, the images are the same?

:D .. at least we had a chance (1%, not bad) to get it..

thank you, yea, the new nem is great. butter threads and switch, invisible joints.. as usual.

this is the most expensive one from FC [n2]; the other one i own is from the group buy [n1].

i ordered [n2] because threw [n1] to the ground to see if it bounces, and its cap was a bit damaged (aesthetic matter). thought that the new one had ss cap, because it didn't say "Stainless steel brass" in its description, like the other (it only says "Stainless steel"); my ignorance, my fault, i guess that brass cap is mandatory to reduce voltage drop.

the differences between both versions are barely noticeable. both have excellent threads, joints are invisible.
[n1] has better engraving, imo (thinner and accurate lines).
the extension ring doesn't match the rest of tubes exactly in [n1] (rest of tube do), while [n2] is absolutely perfect in this matter.
in [n1], the switch button is not brushed, the brand engraving is almost invisible, uses a long spring, the anti-rotation pin seems chromed; in [n2], it's brushed, sharper, uses a round copper wire plus a shorter spring, anti-rot pin is wider, contact pin seems to be better plated (rather than chromed), so it's slightly less wobbly and less crunchy. after replacing the springs with magnets, there is still a slight difference.
air flow control is very hard to move in [n1] (but maybe it's due to its ground excursion :p ). afc is butter in [n2].
sorry for not posting some pics, can't do it now.

The Group Buy is similar to a pre-order or Coop in the US ... You can click on the blog link in my description for the "Member guide to shopping at Focal", scroll down and read the section for Group Buys, and it should answer all of your questions.

The pics for the Group Buy 4nine are a little muffed, the difference between the GB 4nine, and the more expensive one, is the logo on the switch. The GB 4nine is laser etched, while the expensive one is engraved.

lol @"ground exursion" :laugh: .. Thanks for the detailed explanation about the difference between the two Nemmy's, every now, and again someone will come in here and ask about the differences. I have side by side comparison pics of each mod broken down, but I am not the owner, so I have no direct experience with them.

Hello everyone!!
Been lurking here since this thread was only about four page long. Feel like I know everyone already, so thanks for all the good information and lively entertainment. Anyway, I have a question about the 'instant kill' sale. Item number four says, "Do not instant killed over 3 items. Otherwise, we will empty them." Does this mean 3 of 1 item, or 3 items total?

Hey bugboys :) .. You can only kill one quantity per item I believe, so it's 3 different items total.

So you finally decided to come out of lurk mode, and show yourself ... awesome. I think its pretty cool that you have been lurking since page 4, that was a loooong time ago! :p So you know ALLLL of our stories :laugh: .. I also think its unfair that you know me, better than I know you though :glare:

Welcome to the light side from the dark bushes, where you was all this time:D

I think it's each item. Reason... of course you gona click that button like nuts (well, I would:D) and easy can load all inventory. So they say - click slower!!!:D
