    What am i doing wrong? I go to the instant kill page but I don't see any items for instant kill, only a long bar with different hours. Please help! Sorry for my ignorance.

    That is because there isn't anything up for instant kill right now, you just have to keep checking back for when they are.

    That's not ignorance, just lack of knowledge. The only bad question is the one not asked. No one knows everything although some act otherwise. Ignorance is knowing the truth/answer but still choosing to ignore it. Kind of those who act as they know all while they know damn well they don't. :)

    NOOOOOO! Does your tracking say it was delivered? Call Canada Borders Services to find out Nelson, you can't just let that go! You must call them :cry: I have been waiting to hear feedback from you as well.

    it says it was released by customs to Canada post on july 13 in missasaga Ontario. the tracking hasn't changed since then... it should have made it to the left coast in no more than a week after being released from customs :(

    so now, it's a Canada post issue. I have tried to find out info from them before and they basically blow you off, not our problem kinda thing... F@#$in' hate CP! lol. never ever had an issue with usps! that's it i'm moving back state side ;)

    edit: on a positive note my Infinite SR-X came today! what a beauty! much better quality than I expected! far better than my copper black SR :) less than a week with e-packet, gotta like that....

    It is true Acerig, and most other Chinese manufacturers do not want to sell to Chinese vendors, as they prefer to cater to US, and European vendors. Most out right refuse to do business with domestic markets at all. Before I asked Doris to go to SXK, I sent her to Infinite first and they point blank refused her any business, as did iJoye. SXK and Acerig and iVOGO are some of the few better manufacturers who will do business with the domestic markets. SXK and iVOGO have better attitudes about it though, especially iVOGO.

    It's a shame that they feel that way. Don't they know that the Chinese vendors that they're avoiding are who we (US & EU, their target market) get all our stuff from? So indirectly (or not), they'd end up selling more goods to their target market, if they just changed their attitude, and we'd get better stuff too (or not). Just sayin. But that's probably too logical for business, huh?

    It sure is Mr G, I 1st saw one at 101vape, and fell in love with it, knew I could get it cheaper than what it was at 101, so held out, and this week I found it at a price I liked better, it is as good as I thought it would be :D

    Effin Noice!!!!!! Wanted an Akuma also. But yours looks like a decorative mask that was hung on a wall. Those engraving pop up or into the mod? Man that's sweet. Time to go window shopping now. Been slacking and not "filming any porn" for some money.

    Did that black Akuma come from focalecig? Is it a black coating (paint? PVD?) over copper like the so very popular black copper Stingray? Looks great.

    The focalecig Nemi (mini [14500/14650] Nemesis) arrived today. That's exactly one week from initial shipping from China to my house in New York. I don't think I've ever gotten anything that quickly. And the group buy price was nice.

    Quick initial impressions of both. The Vapor Tek is a Tobeco copper version with stainless steel accents. The focalecig is a Marstech (never heard of this manufacturer) stainless steel version with gold plated accents. The copper switch is OK, the stainless one was a bit crunchy and a few minutes of sanding and polishing had it working well. As delivered with a spring, they're better than any full sized Nemeses switch I have (I have 5 different clones from various manufacturers) but I believe that I still think I'm going to look for magnets for the switch. I have extra Nemesis magnets here (got to love those 10 packs from FastTech) that I'm going to try, will report back.

    Each came in a decent box but the Tobeco was fancy with Tobeco & Nemesis printed along with the death angel. It'd be a nice gift. The Marstech was just white with their name. Although copper mods are all the rage for reduced voltage drop the considerable limitations in capacity of the 14500 batteries I'm using mean there's no difference between these copper and stainless steel Nemi. (As an aside, anyone have a source for a 14650 battery suitable for vaping?)

    The top cap has a silver plated screw for atomizer adjustment as well as silver plated battery adjustment switch screw, just like the Nemesis. Neither come with the 5mm beauty ring like a Nemesis. This is a bit of a disappointment because I use extended top cap screws because I like the look of it on my full size Nemeses. The copper is a middling red color, not the brighter red of the full sized copper Nemesis I own. I don't think its lacquered unlike my full sized. I may be in the minority but I like bright and shiny so I like lacquered finishes on brass and copper. The stainless steel exactly matches my full size that I got as a group buy from focalecig, down to the gold colored plating on the cap and lock ring. It isn't a brass or copper plating, this is much more golden in color. It hasn't worn off or discolored on the full size in 2 months of use, I'd assume that the mini's plating will hold up as well.

    I've been using both Nemi with a mini Kayfun today. After a few days of use I'll try pictures and a more complete review.

    No it didn't come from focal, but tube is similar to stingray, black painted over copper with deep engraving, no painted threads, so hits really good :)

    Had problems getting 4nine setup, only seems to work in hybrid mode, and can't use the fogger I got from focal, it does not have threading all the way up the 510 pin, so it screws so far and then just wobbles around, but works ok with my other fogger though, switch is crunchy, but hopefully that will work it self out, it does not fire standing up as some people have reported, so that is a plus.


    That 4nine looks great in black :)

    For the crunchy switch I found that sanding down the inside lip on the bottom of the mod where the button catches did wonders. Made the switch a lot smoother on mine ;)

    Wow, I must say that your Akuma looks kinda bangin there Nailzy! The black/copper combination is far more successful than the black copper Stingray, from an standpoint of aesthetics. It is really sexy :hubba: And the black 4nine looks waaaaaaaaaay nicer than I expected it to. Good job Darth Vaper! :rickroll:

    and why are you flaunting all of those flavors in my face? Nailzzzzzzzz :cry:

    Well I guess she found them and came back round, funny there was even more letters too :?:

    Haha. Lol. Good one.

    @Nailz
    Woo wee that mod is hot. Is that Black Akuma?

    I'm waiting on some goodies also. Please hurry!!!! I actually dropped quite a few buck on some Five Pawns juice. Could've gotten 4 more mech mods. Damn you weezy!!!!

    Did you really spend your hard earned money on Five Pawns? :blink: Listen, I have some aging Castle long reserve and mixology right now that will forever be untouched because that is some strong, nasty over rated juice. And I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but that stuff about in house extracted flavors is poop IMO. CLR is nothing more than M type tobacco, kentucky bourbon, vanilla and coconut from TFA, beep what ya heard! :glare:

    Forgive me if I rained on your parade, I did it out of love. :blush:

    That really blows Nelson, I am so sorry you have to deal with this crap! Can you file a postal claim and get reimbursed? .. DAYUM! .. But you did get your Stingray X today, so there was some light at the end of the tunnel. Isn't she beautiful? :wub: OMG, it is for sure more beautiful than the black copper SR :blink:

    I am vaping her right now with that sexy Mephisto RDA .. the X looks so good with the Mephisto and DT :banana: So when are you moving back to the states the darling?
