I couldn't resist. I just ordered the squape r. Wondering how well the deck will hold up to sub ohm coils. Guess we will see :).
Now I need a kato to use with it....I'm pretty spent out right now so will have to wait unless of course I win a ZNA clone in a contest I entered ;)

Oh and Nicole, they made me enter my phone number with my order.....tell Doris don't be selling my number to third parties......LOL

I have the V1 orchid and I fill from the bottom, unscrew base and just pull out enough to get a syringe jammed in there and fill, just make sure you don't pull the chimney out of the top cap or be juice everywhere, I thought it would be hard to do, but not had any problems filling this way and get maximum capacity filling this way ;)

No no, don't help him ... he likes juices all over himself :p
Although I am getting used to wearing it, it is getting a little expensive. I think I'll try a modified version of your suggestion. I was given a Tobeco that has a chimney to o-ring affinity, that little o-ring hates the top cap but loves the chimney. If I move anything it will pull right out of the top cap and spill everything.

Since I dread refilling it I've gotten used to holding it just so and can vape almost all the liquid out of it. I'll just open it up and dump the last few drops of liquid, which is a heck of a lot less than I'm spilling now. That way I can reseat the o-ring, screw the tank to the top, stick the chimney tube in there and fill away. Will let you know how it works out.

Any chance Doris has any info on the material used for the build decks and chimney on the Ivogo SQR clone?

The original uses something called Ematal.



I realize the FC ad states Ematal/ceramic coated aluminum but I'm skeptical that Ivogo was able to build from Stattqualm's proprietary material. It's kind of a big deal since that stuff is what prevents the unit from shorting.

Ematal is just a certain type of anodization, and I know from the original Squape clone that I have that while they could not replicate the Ematal specifically, they were able to anodize the base and it is non conductive. Now .. how well iVOGO faired in their effort, I have no idea.

Thanks for the info :)

I had a feeling that's what I should have picked for shipping! Ugh, think I picked Singapore post.

Aside from the Hana clone, any particular mechs people really like and would recommend? I'm broke and a mod croaked on me today :(

SXK Stingray X .... If you need something cheaper, one of the Manhattan mods might do for ya.

Thank you very much! I feel much better now. The glass tank is very important to me.

Now hold on folks .. I didn't say it was glass, I said the manufacturer gave the spec for borosilicate glass, and Doris deleted it due to uncertainty .. I don't completely trust iVOGO, so .. just sayin :laugh:

Went ahead and ordered the SQR clone... if it's a total POS, no biggie. $26 won't break me.

Also noticed it no longer is listed as "Squape Reloaded". It's now "Reloaded style", lol.

That is better than FT renaming the GP Heron as "stainless steel rebuildable atomizer" :laugh: Like how the hell is anyone supposed to find that?

Nikkita,

Is the built in charger on the Hanna a float charger? I mean to say does it shut off when the battery is charged or do I need to keep an eye on it? I was going to put it on a charge before I go to bed but want to make sure I don't hurt it. I'm sure it is being built in but figure I better find out and make sure, it doesn't say in the booklet that came with it nor on the Hanna website.

Thank You! :)

I don't know Willie but I put mine on the charger and go to bed!

:D :D :D Thanks for a great laugh, good to know I'll be a happenin' dude when I visit the tribes of Borneo. Glad you didn't mention the Jose Feliciano matched 18500 tube.

Thanks for the offer also, but I'll hold off on the juice for now. Although if I keep going through massive quantities of it with the Orchid I may have to take you up on it later. :)

ETA: I have a Kayfun top fill cap on the way, so I'll wait and see how that works out before I order something else. By that time you should have convinced Doris to stock the V3 (or V4 if it's out) in the US warehouse. ;)

If I am good for nothing else, its a laugh from time to time ... Besides, you and me are born from the same tribe of trouble makers :laugh:

And goodness, If I give Doris anything else that she must get, she might quit FC because she crumbled under the pressure of demanding Americans :laugh: FYI, all things are second to the Vapor Flask :glare: I want it, FC said they will stock it, but I have to find a good one. I asked Haosheng about their chip and they tried to tell me that it is US made :glare:

I asked who the US manufacturer is, rep said she couldn't disclose that :glare: My reply, then its not US made because if it was then you would surely be using that as selling point ... within seconds the rep said "oh no, its from China" :glare: To which I replied "yes, I know" :rolleyes:

Damn you Nelson64 for getting me strung out on the Vapor Flask :cry:

You addict! You are such a bona fide vape gear junkie :laugh: ...

And honey boo, didn't you see my thread over yonder? :oops: I announced the contest winner yesterday, but he is such a lovely man that I am happy that he won. He just started vaping and is disabled, and is a caretaker to other disabled people, so this was really nice for him. And I sent him a bunch of other stuff because he didn't even have batteries or a charger .. so I gave him i2 charger, 4 RDA's, 1 RBA, 50FT of Kanthal, silica wick and some drip tips! :banana:

I will be sure to tell Doris that she better not sell your phone# or you will go from cry face to mad face in 2 seconds flat! :laugh: Dang, everybody got the Squape that I was the last to know about ... you know that I will not D-nice live this down. :glare:

Damn .. this Orchid sounds like a part time job :confused: Thank you baby Jesus that I held out for the V3 ... ok I didn't really hold out for it, it was just that by the time I was ready to get an Orchid the V3 was released :D

My darling, I am not sure about FC's Hana. I can say that my Cloupor will eventually stop charging after it is on "green light" status for a while. To be safe though, I am not sure if I would attempt to do that while you sleep. But I am a nervous nelly when it comes to these things. My Nitecore chargers have auto shut off but somehow I cannot bring myself to allow anything to charge while I am sleeping.

They put a hidden tag on it. If you search "Heron," it pops up. Same with "Paps." ;) But they uglified them when they removed the logos.

Yeah, they just don't have the same sex appeal without the logo's .. Glad I got that Paps before they drilled deep rings around the tubes to get rid of the logos :blink:
