Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[haku]

Awe... she's precious, can I have her? You won't be able to give her back. We use to have a cat that looked just like her, we called her Freckles. Now I feel sad, she was such a great cat.

i first rejected the offer of taking care of her, because of a possible allergy, besides of furniture, carpets and plants integrity.. now i'm wondering if asking for keeping her when the owners are back (so you are right).. she is so loving! she asks for caress every 2 hours.

so sorry for your loss. i had 8 cats when child, and spent months of crying when loosing them.

owners told me she hasn't got a name, because they were thinking she was he for months..
i like Freckles, she looks like a chimney sweep. humm, i might find a vaping name for her, or adopting Freckles, if you let me do it. consider it a tribute to yours.

Awesome, and at least yours is confirmed SXK ;-) ..

in other revelations today, it turns out that all of the 1:1's that FT has been stocking lately are from Cigreen, not SXK, for sure not Infinite... but I already knew that, at least in the case of the supposed 1:1 4nine's and Slojo. I actually did believe for a moment that their $27 Stingray X was possibly SXK, but its not. Cigreen is not a bad manufacturer by any stretch, so its not a bad thing to be from Cigreen because its a 1:1, its just unfortunate that everyone is running around calling their 4nine's and Stingray's SXK and they are not .. Cigreen is also the manufacturer behind the Slojo's at FT, but that one fool tried to argue that they are SXK which is a confirmed impossibility.

I have no intentions of passing along this info on FT .. if they all want to believe that their mods are from SXK, then let them. If they were, FT would sell them as such, because there is no good reason not to. Oh, and for anyone who cares, the hcigar Stingray X is Cigreen as well. Cigreen is to hcigar, what SXK is to Infinite.

great info, Nikki, thx!
i'm still waiting for my stingrays x. will check and report the differences

Yes and yes, but thanks for your concern. I don't sub ohm and i don't like the way it looks with the 18650 tube anyway so i'm fine with 18500. I always have two mechs with me in 18350 mod only so i''m use to carrying extra batteries.

Cool ... but sub ohm has nothing to do with it. An 18650 doesn't last that long on DNA30 style VV/VW even at 1.5 ohms (about 3-3.5 hours depending how often you vape), which is my only grip with them. I just wouldn't spend that kind of money on a clone that is not 1:1, and especially when you can get one that is 18650 and 18500 tubes included, with a confirmed sx300 style chip from the US for $76 plus shipping.

I only know of one place that has it in the US for that price and they are all sold out. I took a chance...we'll see how it goes.

The Copper in China isn't bad at all .. its copper. I said the other one's suck because they are SS and PVD coated which is all wrong for conductivity and the Manhattan.

I knew about the horrible material choice (stainless steel for a 'competition mod') and poor machining with leftover red in the threads on tube and switch. I didn't know how well the copper one would be since if its all copper those issues don't apply. Seems like a decent combo then, copper Manhattan and blue Taifun, no duct tape needed.

By all means feel free. If you do please PM me some pics, my wife would love to see pics of a little Freckles. I've always been a cat person, dogs you baby sit, cats don't need us to survive and are very independent. We have a cat door, they come and go when they want, my daughter lives next door and her cat comes in, eats and leaves all the time. I've come to learn we don't own cats, they choose to live with us and give us their love.

There is a post on Vaping Cheap for Nitecore i4 shipping out of China for $10, you should check it out. Don't know who the vendor is because I don't actually read the posts, just the headlines

i checked it out but it was not $10 Nikki.

Yet another published warning about Efest .. I was aware of this already, but this is a great article that goes in a bit more details about some Efest purples

thx! i feel the same about cats: they are another individual in the fam. i love when calling the cat and she is refusing (or not!). they have a defined personality and willing; they are affective when they like, like we are. the cats who lived with us, when child, used to go out for party at night, returning back a few days later for eating and sleeping. they were free and happy, but none of them lasted too much in the wild streets of a big city..
will propose Freckles to the "owners" (i also agree about no-owners), and will try to get some more pics from her for you.

about 26650, it implies some investment.. new batteries, new wide attys, or confuns.. so i'll wait a bit more. anyway, which sr x from fc is the right one? the new blue, the ss, or none?

 

[nelsonm64]

Ok honey .. let us know how it turns out, I do want to hear your feedback, and be careful with those Efests too ;-)

I read once you didn't care for efest purples... I've had red and purple efests. i have lots of them and have never had issues? one in 10 didn't make it past 4 months before it wouldn't hold a good charge but that's it...

this makes sense why the KFL+ V2's on FT look just like the Hcigar version, both Cigreen and, not Infinite

It was $20.00

efest purple 3100 is a fake battery. it claims to accept till 20A discharge, when it only reaches 4 or 5A.
efest purple 18500 are not better than efest red imr.

you can check discharge curves at 5A constant discharge here for some 18650 effest and others, and judge:
AkkuDB

but other efest are ok

It's amazing how you guys can tell. I'm pretty .... with detail and they all look alike to me.

 

[Nikkita6]

I guess I am not that surprised .. It is kind of an outrageously good deal, so it makes sense that this price wouldn't hold for an extended period of time. Good on you that you got one though, SCORE!

 

[Nikkita6]

You are right Nelson .. The work that Cigreen and SXK do is so very similar though, it is hard to tell apart unless you know the product very well. In your case, you were one of the first with the KFL V2 from FT, so you know it really well. And Cigreen is using the same packaging as SXK, so that makes it even harder to tell them apart. Hcigar has a longer standing rep than Infinite, so it is not bad news at all. ;-)

I believe it .. The problem with Efest is their practice of relabeling and misrepresenting amp limits, so their batteries are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get. I am glad that you got some without issues .. the Purple 350's I got in May, one died after a week, but the other one works just fine, but doesn't last as long as my AW's with less Mah and amp limit.

I have 2 purple 18650's, one the top got damaged when dropped my mod, it dented the positive end in, and not been used since then, the other just sits in my backup draw, it is not in my rotation of batteries, I have 6 vtc5's, and that is all I use now, glad I got 6 of them, as heard they are getting hard to get now, apparently they can't keep up with the demand from us vapers
