I think I am going to get the silver magma, I could be waiting for ever for black, and if I really like and then the black comes, then can order that one too, but want to make the order up more, I admit I am a bit hesitant to order the black taifun after this last one.
I was actually looking at the black 4nine mod with 18650 tube, I have 1 efest 18650 2000mah nipple top battery, and according to charts it is safe to run a 0.4ohm coil on, I run dual coils at 0.5ohms, so a bit close for comfort, so not sure what better batteries for it would be, if I ordered it. But do think the 4nine would be good for work, as no locking ring, just press and vape.
Then again maybe I should get the 30W box, is a very good price with coupon, but still pricey for what I normally spend, and earlier worked out, with a fresh battery and dual coils at 0.5ohms, I am vaping at 27.5W's already, so don't think it would be worth it for me.
Decisions, decisions.

Well I found the black magma on ebay for $19 shipped, so went with it, $4 more than the silver on FC, but it is the black I wanted and delivery estimate says Monday, sorry FC, couldn't wait any longer.
That 4nine has got me thinking I want a mod with a recessed switch though, be easier for me at work, when I'm busy at work, be nice not to have to mess with a locking ring.
I think you made the right move, only $4 more is deffo worth it ... happy for ya boo That black 4nine is sleek and sexy, and would look so hot with your new magma.
How'd I do, Nikki? buy it, buy it, buy it!
Damn, my reputation is proceeding me!It would be my work mod, so would be used with foggers, but have 2 concerns, the reports of some 4nine switch not being completely recessed, I use a flash light belt clip for my e-cig at work, so don't want to firing constant without me noticing.
Other concern is using the foggers at 0.5ohms, not sure my efest would be good to use, and not sure what nipple top battery would be for that resistance, so will have to look into that more.
I have 1 purple efest and 6 vtc5's, but didn't think flat tops worked very well in the 4nine, not having to buy different batteries is a big plus.
Thanks for letting me know about the switch, it is not having a locking ring that is appealing to me, at home I don't care, but at work, rather not to have to mess with a locking ring, I do have the panzer which has a locking ring, but don't really need to use it, but it is a very big and heavy mod for me to use at work.
FWIW my Hana mini clone has changed my wish list significantly, moving mech mods to low priority. This thing does a better job delivering power to the atty then any mech mod I've had or tried. I could copper tape and noalox a mech with a proper switch and pin and get a comparable performance under load but I'd still not be able to dial up and down wattage on demand and get a consistent voltage through most of the battery cycle. It's even got me using my taifun again lol. To summarize it spoiled me and I think it's worth a try.

I hate to say it, but I kind of agree... You guys know that I am a MECH HEAD, but after using the DNA30 for a week, I was giving my mech with copper contacts the side eye (true story) .. But, I will say that I love the Kayfun 3.1 with the DNA however, I didn't love it with a Kayfun mini, Squape, or Taifun .. but it was brilliant with the Kayfun 3.1 at .9 and 20W. I didn't try either of my KFL with it yet.

The Sony's are a great choice in the 4nine, IMHO. I tried to cover everything you wanted to know and keep in mind a pocket carry at work.I have 1 purple efest and 6 vtc5's, but didn't think flat tops worked very well in the 4nine, not having to buy different batteries is a big plus.

How have you not tested out those sexy infinite clones on it yet?

If you had been holding it in your big man hands like a good daddy, this never would have happened!
You should get a fanny pack, or laynard for your mod![]()

I was looking at the 4nine tonight as I used it. I was using a 2400 grit sanding pad to smooth the bottom of a new Stingray tube and got to thinking. I think a good part, perhaps all, of the discomfort I feel with the 4nine switch is the rather sharp edge of the bottom of the main 18350 tube at the pair of cutouts that let you fire the switch with the side of your finger. On the clone at least there is no rounded edge. The tube transitions from side to cutout in a nice sharp 90 degree angle. And that's what causes the discomfort, especially because with fibromyalgia that sort of harsh, rigid edge on anything is uncomfortable.
I'll get to sanding and report back if successful tomorrow.

Nope. Every order I complete lands in a confirmation page that says I bought a taifun GT. Which I did. Once. [emoji3]I got the exact same bizarre results with one of my orders. And like yours the PayPal info showed the correct item. The correct thing arrived at my house though. Hopefully you'll get the right item also.
I remember ordering something and forgetting to log in. Could that be what yields the odd results?

Yeah I don't get my male brethren as well. Take cell phones for instance. My friends drop theirs at an average of twice a day.Dudes, why do they drop things so often? I mean, your hands are usually larger than a Woman's, so shouldn't that translate into a better grip?.. This is one reason why I love being a Woman, I don't break stuff.
.... Well, ok, I break some things

You lot need stop trying to tempt me with these 30W mods, I am tempted, but scared I might like so much, I won't want my mechs anymore, but also I will hold off, as now 50W mods coming out, now if FC get a 50W mod, I might not be able to stop myself![]()
A fanny pack...a fanny pack....a...fanny......pack![]()
I bet you I can make the fanny pack hot again ;-) And I'll give you two guesses as to how I would make it happen

got my stingray x last night
ok so before i start, i've gotten 3 packages from focalecig before i received everything from one order from FT, just an fyi
got home to see an envelope, yes yes yes, ripped it open and there was my stingray x box, the dripper i ordered with it was an after thought, took out the pieces and put it together, button wasn't exactly crunchy but loud, not super smooth...anyway put a battery and kayfun on top of it, lets get the party started, pushed the button....houston we have a problem! nothing happened...ok so maybe it's the kayfun, put on a taifun, nothing..ok stillare, nothing, hyper tank, nothing...ahh man this is a bummer, took it apart and noticed the sleeve that says stingray on it really spins on the copper and even slipped right off.....not sure if thats how it's supposed to be or not...but what seems to be the problem is the top cap..from the videos i've seen it looks like you screw the top on which pushes the button down, on this thing the button just hangs out of the top cap and is only pushed up by the battery but never makes connection
anyway so i moved onto the dripper...ripped open the plastic thing it was in, took it out and ohh this is a patriot no the tobh i ordered, dang
so i haven't touched anything and emailed doris, before i knew it i received an email back to make a video and take pictures...had trouble emailing a video because it kept telling me it was too big, but i did that and she assured she'd take care of things for me....really quick customer service so far
