    Order in :D

    Saw that Paragon in new arrivals, and looks like it will work great for me at work, has a recessed button and is cheap, so doesn't matter if gets beat up, which probably will.

    Nearly ordered the black Manhattan too, but saw our Nikki saying hers is coming today, so will wait for her opinion before pulling the trigger on that one, if they are good, then will be a second order placed later :D

    Oh BTW G-weezy, the other place dropped the Lancelot clone, I nearly got it, but going to hold off and see the reviews on it first, some already saying the engraving doesn't look good and bad seams, I would rather just a 18650 tube myself, as that is the only batteries I use. Maybe Nikki can talk to Doris about getting a decent one on FC. Nikki and Doris must love all these requests we keep throwing out there :laugh:

    I saw it this morning. The first thing I do when I wake up is check FT and FC, then here before I hit the showers. :)

    Then it think about them for awhile. Lol

    After looking at the other site Lancelot I decided I don't like it. However, I liked that shiny Mirandus on Focalecig, very elegant and nice engraving, has anyone pulled the trigger on it yet?

    Yea it's just ther first batch. I always wait a couple weeks for other variations. I will still buy one dammit!!!! :evil:

    One guy over there was really dissing VapeZoe/VapeTech, repeatedly - how come? No good?
    Oh, well. At least they didn't paint the threads. :laugh:

    Awesome, my tracking says THURSDAYYYYYYYYYYY, AS IN LATER TODAY! :banana:

    Now if Doris would stop skyping me I could go to sleep :p

    Whoop der it is! :rickroll: People ... peeeple, all I can say is you really want to touch this Red one. My God, I was shocked, I had no idea that an anodized aluminum tube could feel like brushed silk, and I swear on my life that this is what is feels like ... Sensual is the word the comes to mind, seriously. I was just telling Portertown via pm that I don't want to use it out of fear that its going to get dirty and loose this luxurious, soft, silky feel that it has.

    Now, I haven't used it yet, but I will definitely be washing my hands before I do :laugh: The threads are so smooth on both the Red and Copper. The Copper showed up with a variety of tarnished spots, so I cleaned it up some some Heinz ketchup before I took the pics of it outside of the package. In the first photo of the Copper you can see the tarnish, which was heavier around the button ... much heavier. After I cleaned it up, it still looked stained only on that one area, so I took some 1000 grit to it because those stains needed to get the hell off my mod :laugh:

    That is just the nature of Copper that is shipped from half way around the world, unless they are clear coated, it is very likely that most of them will need to be polished up out of the box .. but the Red is perfection to me :wub: The Copper is much heavier than the Aluminum which in spite of the thick tubes, feels light, but that is to be expected. I disassembled the Copper switch only, and the magnets are hella thick and hella strong. Sorry that I forgot to capture the switch taken to to bits, but you can see that in my review when its done.

    You can't see this but just as I was typing, my baggie of spare pins fell through the crack of my sofa :cry: NOOOOO, not the sofa crack! I lost some skin on my forearm, but I got the pins back :laugh: True story :oops: ... Ok, as you already should know, the throw is long and the switch does have a firm press, but it is nothing that isn't manageable. I suspect that with a battery and atty attached, the throw will feel shorter as it should. It you get the Copper, definitely clean up your switch out of the box .. there were several boogers in mine :laugh: The switch feels smoother, and lighter somehow on the Red ... Did I mention that the Red is sexy as all HAIL? :drool: It sooooo did not disappoint me.

    The true test will be performance, and like I said, I haven't used them yet. I only inspected all parts, played with the switches, cleaned the Copper one, and petted the Red one with my long lady fingers over and over and overrrrrrrr ... after I washed my hands of course. :D FYI the Red is actually a bit darker in person than in the pics ... And I blew through the Copper with the switch installed and top cap off and there is a ton of undeniable air coming through that switch, so it does have proper venting.

    Please give a mini review as soon as you get your hands on these Manhattans. I quick picture or two would not hurt either.
    I know--------- I am always asking for something. I jest gotta know something about these puppies.

    I have got to get to bed also as I have a dental appointment in about nine hours to get my pearly white's cleaned.

    As any good Goddess would, your prayers have been answered :D

    No .. I need to see some real life pictures or a video first. I like intricate and extensive engravings, but its the kind of thing that has to be done right in order for that look to work. Get it Art so I can see it! :laugh:

    Yes no painted threads and being copper tube, should hit pretty good, I will still wait and see if better versions come, maybe one with a magnetic switch :)

    Oh my god, they look fantastic. If they vape half as good as they look I will be totally satisfied with them. Even if they do not work at all, they are worth the money on looks along. Doris better get ready, because once your formal review goes to press she is not going to be able to keep these in stock. The guy over on the main FC site that bought them "things" with the coated threads and all needs to see these.
    Nikki, I will have to say that you and Doris did a superb on picking these mods for the US warehouse. For sure a Mission accomplished well.
    Now I have to find your next Mission. I have to decide on what my next "want" item is going to be.
    THANK YOU

    Yeah, she might as well order more red ones NOW...:laugh:
    When I first saw the red, I was afraid that it would have that eGo rubberized texture. Whew, I'm glad they didn't go there and that you're pleased with it. :)

    ...poor NIkki... so many toys, so little time...

    haha did a quick Google image search and the TOBH on it made me think "Boy, pull your pants up!" :laugh:
