Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[Nikkita6]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the 1:1 Stingray X on FT looks like a SXK, right down to the box. Good bit cheaper too..

Yes it does ... and for $9 cheaper you get to wait 7-10 days for it to ship, and then another 7-12 for transit .. I will have my SR X by Friday, all those who got it from FT have scheduled ship dates of 7/28 and 7/30, and that is for those who bought it last week .. No thanks, I want mine now. I ordered it today, and it shipped today,

Now, if it were a $20 difference then I would wait, but since I used to spend $10 for a pack of cigarettes that lasted me one day, yeah, I will pay the extra $9 and get to enjoy my beloved X Now. ;-)

Didn't mean to offend, Was just pointing Haku in the direction of one since he's not in the U.S.

thank you very much, Holer. while i was writing my last post, was ordering one to ft
i'll get another one when available from fc, don't mind to have twice, because i love the stingrays, don't want to clean copper or brass tubes, but like to try copper tubes+contacts, and i like how it looks so much

We have similar taste in gear it seems Haku, and who doesn't love some good vapeporn! When I submitted my first review to the site, the owner wanted to shrink my pictures I told him NO WAY JOSE, do not mess with my porn! Good photos are what brings the written word to life in the mind of the viewer, without them, written reviews would be rather boring.

yeah, we have almost identical taste in gear, i noticed it, too. that's why i'm so pendent of your movements.
my older brother is called jose, too. your vapeporn makes your reviews unique. i've not seen any review with such artistic and quality photos, and i agree, they are as valuable (or even more) as the rest of aspects of a review

not this time, I know new releases don't come till morning, but maybe I will get the silver magma and take a black sharpie to it

Dude, don't you know? You're supposed to color your mods with NAIL POLISH.
(that's a real hot tip from the girly thread )

Last month, Focal Ecig had a group buy for Nemesis clones, and I jumped on it. (Something like 11$ shipped!)



I do not have any tracking information, and I was wondering if anyone else on here participated in the group buy, and if you did, if there was any news on about how long I should expect to wait... It's been right at a month and I just want to make sure I didn't get hosed!

Not offended at all my friend .. I have always had a basic rule for ordering from China, and that is, the product must be at least $10, preferably $15 less than the price for getting it stateside. For me, its not worth the wait unless I am getting a really good deal ... luckily for me, they usually are really good deals from China, including FT.

As it is, I have been waiting for this X to be available for two months, Nikki is done waiting.

I did not participate in that Group Buy however, I believe someone recently posted that they received their Group Buy Nemesis .. When did yours ship? Even though there wasn't tracking, you should still have a ship date. Whatever is going on, you didn't get hosed, FC is a legit company.

I haven't received any notification whatsoever... I see in my paypal account that the amount was charged, but no notification.

Thank you Haku, and you are another intelligent, poised, and well spoken person, whose opinion I value.

I dunno...I looked at the pics, and it looked like the FC version comes with a separate 18650 tube, in addition to the 18350 and all the extensions...I had never seen that before - figured that's where the extra money went.

Dude ... you have to log into the website and look at your account for a status, you will find full order details, including your ship date. Now, it sounds as though you did not create an account, so you need your paypal addy, and order #, then click on "track order" , enter those two things, and a status will appear.

If you didnt keep record of your order#, then go to the website, and at the top, click live chat icon to speak to Doris on skype about your order. She will be able to locate it with your paypal addy.

No, that one is a different Stingray, the older version, its not the X ... the SXK sitting in the US warehouse is going to cost way more because it was shipped to the US, not China. If FC had stocked this in the China warehouse, the price point would be around the same as FT's.

FC has to pay that extra shipping cost to the US, which is hefty, as well as the person in the US that is handling and shipping their US orders. So yeah, it should cost more than what FT is selling it for.

Oops, scratch that. I compared them last night, and it looks like they took the pic out that had two separate tubes with the squigglies, one short and one long. It was there last night, but not there now. So yeah, they do look the same now.

thank you, Nikki, i'm going to sleep now with a smile from ear to ear..

 

[Holer]

They changed the pics since last night, this one is not up anymore.

 

[cindycated]

Thanks, Holer. I think you and I were the only two up last night, looking at this thing. So I WASN'T making it up! See?

 

[Nikkita6]

Dunno, Nikki. Looked at the SRX in the FC US Warehouse and compared it to the SRX at FT (the more expensive one over there). The FC pic had one extra (long) tube - so two separate tubes with the copper squigglies, one short, one long, along with the two extensions (everything else was the same). I'd post them here, but both of those sites do something funky to their pics. But heck, you're getting yours soon, so maybe you can confirm one way or the other. K?

FC shows few pics with all the pieces broken down, then they show it fully configured ... its one 350, and two extensions for the 500 and 650 configurations. I also tried to copy the pics and post, but they are right click protected. Earlier I thought you were talking about the 3 full tube Stingray set that they also just listed.

Ooop, wait, I was able to right click the thumbnail photo

 

[Holer]

They gave me some right click trouble too, then I got aggressive with it.

 

[Nikkita6]

Aha .. No this one is to show it fully configured AND what it looks like broken down. It wasn't intended to imply that there were more than one main body tube ... and I guess that is why they took it down, ;-)
