Dayum, I forgot :cry: Its all your fault too cuz you reminded me too early :laugh: I will try to remember for this week cuz I am not in the mood to mix juice at the moment, so I need something cheap and delicious :p

So you're gonna put a 23mm Taifun on the 22mm 4nine? You know this breaks Ms. Nikki's rules for sexy right? :rules: No love handles allowed on vape gear, now I command you to stop speaking to halfempty at once! He is a vape gear rule breaker, and not to be trusted! :laugh:


But seriously .. you can't do your Taifun like that :glare:
Yeah I was surprised I didn't get a scolding about my Protank on the Nemi. (runs and hides in the corner)

Oh so you're gonna blame it on the 80's eh? Did you have a mullet or no? Just curious :laugh:

Definitely do not wrap xc116 too tight, but also it needs to really sit in the eliquid for awhile to do its best works, otherwise yes, it will feel like its wicking too slow. That is why I recommended it for Taifun's and Gennie's because its constantly exposed to the juice.

Yeah, go get your Taifun, but not sure which sku you are talking about .. its 2am and I should be sleeping. Promise to look tomorrow though :)
No mullet, hair's too frizzy. Come to think of it, don't really remember what my hair looked like back then. That whole decade is a little fuzzy :D

Working better now, increased the coil diameter, changed the angle, and raised the resistance. Lost some flavor with the higher res, but still much experimenting to do.

Taifun's not important right now, I'll probably change my mind 2 or 3 times before I actually get something :)

No it won't, stop saying that! :cry: You can't put 23mm on 22mm and be sexy at the same time! See Ms. Nikki's rule #42 " If it ain't tight it ain't right "

Jeez, I am gonna end up reciting the whole rule book before I make it out of this thread ... this morning :laugh:

Dude, the BRASS TS SE is 23mm! The factory messed up! Go see for yourself! Momma didn't raise no fool! :grr::lol:

No she's a CAD extraordinaire ... and apparently a real trouble maker too! :glare:


I kid .. kinda

Now, why do I get that so often? :blink:

Actually, that was PS. I worked in the printing industry for 16 years and did a lot of graphic design...unfortunately before computers were cool. The CAD class was part of a Green Building/Interior Design thing that I THOUGHT I wanted to get into. ;)

Oh, OK. I get it now. :thumb: :lol:

But come on, now. Not everybody's gonna have the green to be fabulous ALL the time, right?

The way I see it, if they're close enough to notice .5mm on each side, they're way too close....and I'm rationalizing cuz I'm too broke to be buying all these mods for all these toppers. :blush:

You may have gotten a Stingray X, but its not the same .. SXK doesn't produce them with extra pins, and they don't make a black Stingray X. But I hope it works out for ya. :)

Stingray x Mod 1 1 SXK Factory Black or Brushed SS Copper Pins Silver P Pins | eBay

add says they are from the SXK factory and they don't come with the extra pins it's an added item for increased price, the seller has 99.9% positive feedback so i have no reason not to trust them, but even if it isn't from the same factory as long as it functions im sure ill be happy with it since it will only be my second mod and im pretty new to the hobby and plan to increase my collection over time :)

    Manhattan's are in house at focal, well not the red, but the black and copper are, I've not pulled the trigger on one yet, I'm really torn, as tempted on a pre-order on the new sigelei 50watt box mod, can't get both, so need to decide, been thinking about one these high watt boxes since Nikki got hers, but the 30watt wasn't enough for me to get one, but now the 50watt might do it, not sure still though, so going to sleep on it.

    I believe that's the same seller as another poster, perhaps this thread perhaps the Stingray X thread, had purchased. He was unhappy with it and a few of us noted that the engraving of the word Stingray was different from that of the SXK sold by focalecig. Supposedly that's because the outline style was for the black PVD coated version, which would make sense as an outline would look better on a coated tube, and they just didn't coat some to produce the plain stainless steel version. All I can say is this one person didn't like theirs.
    No it won't, stop saying that! :cry: You can't put 23mm on 22mm and be sexy at the same time! See Ms. Nikki's rule #42 " If it ain't tight it ain't right "

    Yeah, hot and overweight :blink: Please consult Ms. Nikki's rule book, rule #24 "There shall not be any hang over on your mod" :glare:

    2 thumbs up on the color choice though :D
    I own 5 Nemeses, 3 Stingray, 2 4nine, PH22 and 2 Sigelei bottom button mods. None are 23mm. So unless one falls off the back of the truck in front of my house, its going to have to be the 4nine.

    Your rules, missy. Two to go, right? :rules::lol:

    Oh so you're pull the ole rule book on me eh? K ... I see how you roll :cry: :cry: They always turn on me at some point. :laugh:

    Fine then, my two Manhattans shipped this morning, one Red, and one Copper, so I am official. But to be fair I shall wait until they are in hand to authenticate my Platinum status. :glare:

    Oh the Protank on a Nemmy did not go unnoticed, but I am trying to change my ways, and not be so judgmental ... not sure its working though :glare:

    You prolly had a Frollet at some point .. or at least a tail? :laugh: Did you a breakdance? :rickroll:

    My first taste with xc116 was at 1.8ohms, a friend had sent some already installed in a build that he made, so I vaped it and it was love at first vape for me. Since then I use it at 1.2 ohms consistently on a Taifun, although I haven't touched a Taifun since June :ohmy: Not because I don't still love them, but all that other new stuff got in the way of my relationship :laugh:

    FT released SS nano tank tops for the Taifun and I want it. :D

    Yeah, those are not SXK, regardless of the sellers ratings which doesn't verify the legitimacy of the claim, it only means that whatever he sold, the customer liked.

    But I agree with you, what matters most is that the mod works, and you like it. I take issue with falsifying manufacturer names in order to sell a product. Now it is possible that the seller was the one who was lied to by his supplier, as that happens all the time too, but that is definitely not a SXK product I am positive of that.

    Besides knowing what this manufacturers present product catalog contains, it is very evident from the machining and logo work that it is not SXK. You can see the separation between and inner copper and outer stainless tube around the logo cut out on that Ebay version, the real SXK is not like that, there is no separation between the tubes as they are welded together. And the logo is rough cut, and unrefined on that Ebay version.

    I was going to contact Sigelei to see about their 50W box mod being that we are FB friends and all :laugh: The owner of vaping cheap would love a review for that, but I don't really like the looks of it, so I am struggling to join him. :laugh:

    Well, Portertown, and I are in the game .. One Red, one Copper shipped this morning :banana: Maybe hold out until Thursday/Friday so I can give you my honest initial impressions?

    Nikki.

    2 Manhattans? Hot damn!!!! Now your spoiled. :) need to up my game now!!!!! :rickroll:

    Oh Yeah baby! :banana: Nikki is gunning for the top spot and nothing is gonna stop me! :laugh: I have already outgrown Drifter's beautiful stand .. And my official count is 21 mechs when these two arrive because I just got a Chi You Megan end of last week.

    Oh, and some interesting news for anyone who might care .. Asked Doris to get the Slojo from SXK, and as per David at SXK who is the sales Manager for Shenxingkang Technologies, they have a binding contract with CLT Infinite that prohibits them from selling the Slojo Mod to any other vendor/supply house/individual buyer. I mention this because there are a few vendors and/or suppliers who seem to have a penchant for lying these days. So if you see a "SXK Slojo" for sale that is not Infinite branded, IT IS A LIE.

    Yes, two Manhattans for me also. I can not let Kikki out do me as I am already way behind her in the mechanical mod count. I must keep up or I will get further behind in this mod "collecting" game. I have only 7 mechanicals at the present and these two Manhattans will make the count 9. Out of the 5 regulated mods I have I only use the VaporShark rDNA 30 that I won a few weeks ago. I am also building a box mod with the SX350 board/chip that I need to finish.
