Looking at the pictures that are posted for the 454 Big Block clone, it seems that the negative "ring" that traps the negative wires may be brass, not Stainless Steel like the authentic uses.
I don't like brass in contact with my juice, but the ring can be removed and just trap the negative wires under the screwheads. This is the way some users built their 454's.

Agreed! It is brass, and I did tell Doris that very thing .. They should not send this version to the US warehouse, and I already suggested that they order the 1:1 454 from Acerig if they plan to stock it in the US warehouse.

Now on the V3 .. it is actual engraving, or is it that laser etched business? That is why I haven't gone for it yet, I can't tell how they did the logos. I want deep engraved logos like my V2. Thanks for the pic bombing Weez :laugh:

Nikki,

TurtleShip V3 is pretty awesome up close. The image is very nice and smooth. Some TS porn. One from FC and other FT. 2 other Turtle Ship are not in the pix :(

Sorry for photo bombing. But damn he's a bad .....

Got my Infinite KFL+ and Pulse-G, but don't have time to play with them yet, and still waiting for Slowtech for the rest of my stuff. Are there any known problems I should check for, to make sure they're OK before I put them back in the box?

On the Infinite? Nope :) I don't have a Pulse G, even as I like that Genny ...

He was the designer and admiral of the ship, bsoplinger!

Or you can watch the hella long Korean drama. Here's the trailer:


Cool dude. If it weren't for him, China and Korea would all belong to Japan...you wanna buy one now? :laugh:

It's exactly like V2. Nice and smooth laser etching. Not big and clumpy like the SE one.

I just went and looked. What's there now is a red tugboat. They look the same as the pre-order ones mentioned by Vapor Joe's blog. Aluminum in a pastel sort of color, about 8 or so different choices. Pretty cheap for a RDA but its a rather simple dripper without fancy features.

I saw one today on the other site. The deck and cap remind me of my Igo-w. 3 posts, 2 holes in the cap.

Hi folks I just wanted to ask if anyone had purchased a coloured Tug Boat clone from Focal in the same colour as cana DNA30 and if the colour matched?
Thanks very much.:)

The colored Tug Boat's were just released this week and FC doesn't sell any colored Cana's so I doubt that anyone can answer that for you. :)

Ok Weezy but are they deep? My V2 has deep engravings, and they are smooth, not coarse, but they are clearly below the surface of the metal. That is what I want .. But as much as I wanted the V3, I don't think that I should be getting anything else because stuff continues to come for review so personal use is kinda out the window at the moment .... and I have no time for a new vapeporn production :cry: My art is suffering :p

@Nelson ... did you get shipping notification for your ZNA30? I read on FT discussions that someone received their's from the first batch, and of course they confirmed that it's Amod/Wotofo, said it was high quality, but still had the Cana sleep mode issue where the fire button must be hit twice to fire up out of sleep mode.

No it's not below the surface. The V3 is smoother than the Special Edition from FC.

Damn baller!!!!! Vapemail coming in on the daily.:ohmy:

If you want to taste the CL. Try a .80 coil in the Taifun and vape it. The flavor should come out much better.

Interesting. I didn't try to Google it because I thought it was just a made up name, not the name of an actual thing. The wiki page was interesting. Still kind of begs the question still. Why the designer of the ship when they haven't done etchings of the actual ship yet? Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought that versions 1 and 2 just had 'oriental' writing on them, as in I'm ignorant of the actual language on them but they remind me of things Chinese or Japanese although I know enough that there are plenty more choices than those.

S. Korean mod, right? Turtle ship is a major part of their history. Flip versions 1 & 2 around and you'll see the ship. ;)

I'll be honest, I read quite a few pages of this thread but almost 1000 is too much. What is the consensus of focalecig? I have ordered several things from FT, but their quality is definitely lacking. Of the 15 mech mods i have ordered from them, 1/2 have issues (most are minor, some are major). I am kinda sick of it. I understood this before ordering, but i am just getting tired of it. Is focalecig better? Is their customer service better? Shipping times better? When I first checked out FC, their prices were higher than FT. After doing some research, their prices are on par (slightly lower or higher). So what is your opinion? Also, is Nikki a rep of some sort? or just super into FC? (no offense, just saw her posts a lot, which is fine)

Hi Nik, nope! still "processing". I don't get it.... I ordered on the 18th for crying out loud. ohwell... guess my order fell between the cracks. I ordered that Orchid the morning it hit and it's still processing aswell. mind you I had to order from wallbuys because that was the only option until later that day. having BAD luck lately. I also have 2 FT orders that should have been here by now using e-packet but, they're MIA to :( no new toys for me this labor day weekend hahaha.

update:

Hey Nikki, atleast something positive happened today... vaportekusa shipped my Pallas Rose v2. i'm stoked!!! i''ll have it early next week I bet :headbang: just need my ZNA to put it on lol ;)

    I have been using FT for well over a year, and same as you, 50/50 of products was good, the others needed work, my final straw with FT, was nearly everything I ordered always went to re-stocking, so took for every to get your stuff.

    I started using focal a few months ago, and I am a lot happier with them, products do seem to get out faster from focal, I did have 1 package held up, but still got it in 15 days, and I've only had 1 quality issue so far.

    Customer service is miles better than FT, Doris is the customer sevice rep and will help you with any problems quickly, can even talk to her via skype.

    Nikki is not a rep, she is just a loyal customer who helps others out when ordering from FC, I suppose you could call her a fangirl :p
