Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

Not open for further replies.
I need some suggestions for a good rebuildable tank..... I am very partial to my drippers and havent even used a tank in like......i cant even remember. So, I'm used to pretty low ohms, and thick vapor. Is there anything on the market that can be attached to an rda on the bottom and work similar to a Reo, without the need of the whole mod?

What is the shipping speed to the usa compared to fasttech? I have 2 orderes from fasttech that have been shipping for 2 months now and im fed up with them. So if focal is faster I will be jumping ship for my clone needs

Did you order anything with batteries from FT? Singapore Post as yur shipping option?? Try e-packet next time. I had my items delivered in 4 days fom shipped status to Minneapolis.

I've ordered from both at the same time. They were delivered a day apart. Your ordering something from overseas, it's going to take abit. But look at the FC USA warehouse when it's back up nd running. That ships from here in the US.:2cool:

Try the Orchid, dual coil setup for low ohms. Can't go wrong with a Taifun with Nano kit.:vapor:

In spite of these statements published to FC's site, they usually do not require anyone to ship back a defective product to China because they are aware of the high cost of doing so. Once you verify a products defect via video or photo, they will usually just send you this replacement product, sometimes with a next order if you are going to place one.

Several posters in this thread have run across defects, and all were replaced without having to ship the product back to China. The US warehouse products may be the exception though. They may ask you to return products purchased from the US to their warehouse location.

I apologize if this has been addressed in of any the previous eleventybillion posts...

I just placed my first FC order and noticed this language with regards to product warranty:



And for defective products:



So, has anyone had to return anything to FC? If so, how much would I typically expect to pay for return shipping? I suspect return shipping costs would exceed the cost of the unit in many cases. Perhaps I'm wrong. I like the fact FC will stand behind their products for a year but if shipping costs are prohibitively high, I may as well toss the unit in the trash in the event of a failure.

For the most part all orders ship within 1-3 days, and take 10 days to arrive to the US .. sometimes faster, or a little slower. But anything that is very high demand, like the ZNA30's, then you should expect to wait a bit. In my experience with FC this is the exception, not the rule. I have had only one order out of 15 take 20 days to arrive, and it wasn't FC's fault, it was the postal system.

The ZNA30 appears to be the only product with a delay at the moment, at least that I am aware of. ;-)

Hmmm .. not that I am aware of, which doesn't mean that it doesn't exist though. Have you thought about trying the EHpro Pontus? It is a dripping tank. Its and RDA, with a tank beneath it, and I believe that the drip tip functions in a way to rejuice the wicks. VaporDNA has it, so check that out.

I finally made my first purchase. I can't wait to get my Panzer SS mod. After using code "FSVJ10" it came out to $25. What a deal!

Awesome ... I still never got that Panzer, even though I used to really want one. I have read a lot of good feedback for FC's Panzer clones, so I hope yours is a winner as well. :)

    VapoDNA are sold out, but 101vape does have it in stock at the time of this post ;)

    Thanks very much for the info. It is doubly assuring coming from the resident FC expert! ;)

    I'll confirm this. I ordered a KFL #13539 from FC and it had a broken center post (the 510 post). They asked me to send them pictures of the defective part. After I sent it they emailed me a notice that they would send a replacement part with my next order.

    Some people may complain that they shouldn't have to place another order to get a replacement part, but this is a courtesy from FC. You don't have to mail the defective item back and you don't have to pay for shipping. Pretty great if you ask me. I've made 7 orders from focalecig so far and I've been happy with each one (other than the leaky KFL #13539 which doesn't leak much now that I changed the terrible stock O-rings). I still use it nearly every day.


    One question: does anybody have an opinion about the latest HANAA DNA30 group buy? At $43.90 it's very tempting but I don't want to get a bad clone. Any advice on this mod?

    What about the 3D? Its made by Atmomixani, the people who designed the Nemesis. Its designed to work as a hybrid with the Nemesis and anything else with the same threading. Available as a clone. Can be purchased with a 510 connector adapter so it can be used on any mod. Holds about 1.5ml in a reservoir under the deck. Entire deck is spring loaded. You push down and juice moves from the reservoir through a hole refilling the deck. Just like squonking on a Reo or other bottom feeder. I have one, love it. Not the best super cloud chasing design, rather simple single or dual coil design. Not sure if focalecig has it, I know the other place does. Not sure about domestic options.

    I look at it this way. At about that price you could get a MVP V2.0, SID, Vamo or any other 3-6 Volt, 5 to 15 Watt vv/vw mod from a domestic vendor, so by buying from China and waiting 2 weeks you're going to have something that has a much higher output range and is at least as good. If I had $44 I'd be ordering one just to have a vv/vw device around. I much prefer my mechanical mods but vv/vw and an Aerotank or Nautilus can be conveniently simple and perfect at times.

    The only thing that I can add about the Hana on Group Buy is that the feedback from customers was positive. When they made site updates it seems that they lost all prior customer feedback that was published to the site, but none of it appears now, including feedback that I have previously left.

    Also a google search for "Hana Modz clone from Focalecig" may lead you published feedback elsewhere .. I do know there are threads for FC on a couple of the UK fourms. :)

    I would do 24ga Nailz. So far it's the best suited for me. 28ga I use for tanks. Don't get me wrong, I did a 24ga wrap 4/5 in the Taifun macro and wicked with Rayon. That thing hits.

    G-weezy did get the 24ga in this week, did a quick build in the week on my magma, and found dual coils @ 0.25ohms was to strong for me, to much of a throat hit for my liking, so just did a single coil build for my Taifun 6/7 wrap came out to 0.43 and it is rocking in the Taifun, getting better vapor from this, than my foggers with dual coils, did have to switch out my metal drip tip, as got really hot, but can sure rock this 24ga for single coil builds :D

    Nice bud. Yea that 24 is something. Glad you found a sweet spot for it. I ran the Taifun to hot and melted my insulators just a little. I flipped the insulators around one at a time and now the tank is good as new. I'm off exploring 22ga and 22ga flat. OMG :vapor:
