I think a lot of it is where you are located in the world and how fast your internet speed is. I had two duplicate pages open in IE and one in Google Chrome, the two pages in IE were out of sync by 5-6 seconds and the Chrome page by 10-12 seconds. Refreshing the IE pages a couple times got them in sync but it didn't help with Chrome, I even closed Chrome and reopened it, still showing slow.

I also had paypal open on another page and logged in just five minuets before the end of the count down so once I clicked to pay I'd already be logged in to paypal but I never came close to that step anyways. I doubt there is much we can do to improve our odds, your either lucky where you live and your net speed or your not. As the halfempty stated, 99.9% odds you won't get one. But it's a good marketing tool to get folks to your website, sell five near, at, or below cost and gain sales out of it, much cheaper then advertising.

Even at their regular price the Nemesis X is a few under what fasttech is selling the 1:1 clone for and a buck or two less than the not as nice version. I was planning on treating myself to one today but tried to get their deal thing first. Now that I read here it was only 5 items total I'll ignore future deals. I'll keep checking out their group buys, some of those are exceptional.

And that's the down side of offering only a few and an almost impossible chance to get one. It will bring people to your website but probably only once for that kind of sale. After people see the odds are impossible they'll just ignore it the next time.

yessss, new chance to get the cheap sr x =)))
5 units again. this time i will catch it up, 11am instead of 4am (i hope i'll be fresher and faster). thanks very much, Doris!! (and Nikkita, if you have something to do with this ;))

So they are going to repeat the same Instant Kill?? Ok, so that is another shot at it ... No, I don't have anything to do with the instant kill, Doris only told me that she was going start doing them every day. Good luck on the next round.

Just got my fire of life in and this thing is pretty slick.
Threading is good and button is awesome no problems yet!

Hey Tamer! I also received mine, but I haven't had a lot of time to use it yet, so that is why I didn't post any thoughts on it yet. Only thing that threw me was how light weight the switch, and top cap were .. not really counting that as a slight because I "assumed" the switch housing would feel heavy like my Vela tube set.

I do like the adjustable copper contacts though, nice, and big surface contact area. This is a pic straight out of the package ...

it's a joke, lol. the screw could be the afc one, probably. they might put it inside the center pin to avoid dust getting into, and forgot to remove it when taking the photos.
or maybe it's a funny reference to the pins found inside the center pin in some ft kfl v2..
i'm sure that the item is ok. it's a very cheap one, so don't expect high performance from it. it's my best candidate to get kfl spares ;)

Hmm, was focalecig the ones who offered that exact same design but with black painted / coated stainless steel tubes and the red flame? If so I'll have to rethink getting one. I was undecided but the pic of the actual product as received looks good so I'm thinking that the black version will be just as nice.

thx for the pic and first impressions. it's in my wishlist, single tubes, flat short top and switch, adjustable big copper contacts..
will pay attention to your reviews.. btw, is there any vent hole in the switch or only engravings?

Yes, the SS/Red, and Black/Red are the same mod, from the same manufacturer .. Nailz ordered the black, but he is still waiting to receive it.

Yes, there is venting through the switch. The other positive thing I can say is that these tubes fit fine with nipple top batteries, without having to remove the bottom half of the positive contact in the top cap. On the Vela set, I have to remove the lower contact pin in order to use it with nipple top batteries.

Does yours have small holes in the top cap in the knurling?
Its a nice mod for sure I love the switch we will see after some serious use how i feel.As of
now if it stays the same its a nice little mod.as

Yeah it does ... I didn't even notice it until you said something. Additional air flow I suppose? Yours looks slick with the Taifun dripper, I'm a little jelly :p

And I forgot to add that the threading on this is 21x1, so it fits the FC Vela set, and these caps do look kinda nice on the Vela.
