I made my first FC order on the 11ᵗʰ and it shows it as shipped out today (the 13ᵗʰ). That's remarkably faster than I thought it would be. I had no idea which shipping option to chose so I went with the default carrier which was Singapore Post and added the $2 tracking option. Is there a better shipping carrier than Singapore Post? I'll probably use FC again and figured somebody here would know. The Vamo V5 group buy was such a great deal I jumped on it without much research into focalecig.

Well I am glad that your order was processed quickly but Sing Post :blink: .. Epacket/EUB/EMS would have been the better option, and there is no fee for tracking. Sing Post on occasion will show up 10-12 days, but it usually 20+ plus days.

Ok so good news on the SR, I am trying to talk Cranky into getting one as well, in stainless though .. but I am disappointed about the KFL sku 12113, you know I love that one also. This is one of the downside with some China manufacturers, they will just up and change on you without warning.

Didn't you order two more of these?? Are they both jainky like this?? .. I am glad that you were able to get it working well, but it still sucks to love one thing, but get something that is not exactly the same. I hope this was an "exception", and not the new trend for this particular KFL.

I did order 2 of them, and they both the same. I hardly will call it exceptional, for $60 (with PP fee)... anyway it's not what i expected anyhow. Can you please contact Doris, so she aware of this as well, she may get bad surprise with those, specially after everyone was talking so high about this particular kayfun, it's major disappointment really.

I almoust did get my e0pipe done, so i'm pretty much out of mod shopping, and i have 6 good running Kayfuns for now. I think i'm set for gear.

Still cud not resist Vamo price. I had seen a deal at #5 and for time i was thinking my order was for #860hs. Oh well, it's my last one for long time. Gona shop pipe's bodies on Etsy.

Yes, I will let Doris know that KFL sku 12113 is not the same as it was before which is a bummer .. If you can, you should also forward pics to her so that she can better understand for herself also.

Focal's a good company to buy from. The group buy I did was good, and it got me a good atomizer. Only downside with my group buy, was I didn't get a tracking number, so they said it shipped, and I just had to wait, having absolutely no idea when it would arrive.

I just ordered something two weeks ago using Singapore post. It arrived about 12 days later. It flew through customs at both the China, and New Jersey locations. I ordered some juice and a Protank II mini... no problems with customs. Hopefully, yours will go the same.

Sometimes SingPost is good, ePacket is usually the fastest method.
Thanks for the advice. ^_^

I sure will get pics to her, i still have saved box from the first one, so i can compere it proper for her.

Off rant.
I just got mini washer (just really pot with revers motor) and it went down in 25 min. Got order from FT and can't manage SR black switch... I guess it's just that week, i hope i don't get any more mail on my "black" stripe.

I wish they put some info what number of Vamo v5 is shipped out, that will be fun for those who in 1100sh...

My Igo-M I ordered last week is at the local post office. I don't know if USPS ships on Saturday though, so I might have to wait till Monday :( Again, that is exactly a one week turn around to get a product from China to my neighborhood, which is great.


Any clue on how long I should expect to wait for the 4nine? I paid the 1.50 or 2.00 for tracked shipping, and it still says processing. I'm hoping that's a bug and it's actually being shipped out without the tracking being updated, but more likely that means they are waiting for a shipment from their supplier?

I just noticed that the Kayfun Lite V2 w/nano kit that FC just listed is by Infinite :banana: Now I want it even more :drool:

When is Nelson back from camping? I need my other enabler :p

I'm Back Nik, hope all is well! just saw that V2, NICE! looks just like the one I have :) you know you need it haha. pretty sure i'm going to order a couple more i'm going to phase out all my V1's.

came home to lots of vape mail Nik, Brass Paps 2.5 being on the top of the list! much nicer than my other Paps. ohhhh the switch, to die for. seriously. best switch I've ever had the pleasure to use. oh and it's 20x1 threading so, my GP Heron Clone will work nicely. quite stoked about that :)

Thank you so much, I am happy that you found it useful .. And since Nealbr just reported that he received his last Sing Post shipment in 12 days, hopefully it will be the same for your order as well. :)

Ouff .. sorry to hear that Laylel :( There is a saying, "when it rains, it pours". Sometimes life is just like that. :p

Which switch type do you have on your black SR? I know there is the switch that is just like the original, and there is a switch with black delrin that I hear is a pain in the .....

On the Vamo Group Buy I know they shipped out 200 pcs already, and they are waiting for the next 1000 pcs to arrive, which will hopefully be on schedule.

I can't tell you missed anything without the tracking number. I did the group buy for the 4nine, which tracking cost $2 (the 4nine was so cheap, why not), but it doesn't appear to work. The order info says shipped, but when I try the OrderTrack on the site, it shows the same info down to the shipped date, then the 17track.net window just shows "Illegal Track (4) Contact Admin". FC really needs to work on the tracking, especially if they're going to charge for it sometimes.
