    In all fairness to the Orchid I am top fill challenged, never have been able to top fill a kayfun either. The idea Nailz gave me will work the next time I try it. Would have worked the first time if I hadn't grossly misjudged how much juice the chimney would displace when I screwed it down. :oops:

    Oh yea I did forget to mention that, don't fill all the way up or have juice flooding out when screwing base back on :laugh:

    Oh Nikka, looks like I will have it soon :D

    Nailz,is that the blue hana?
    mine got processed about 15 min before yours and must be lost at sea . Hasnt made the states yet.fingers crossed it hasnt updated on usps yet

    Yes it is the blue hanaa, but don't worry, it can take up to 3-10 days to make it to the US, I have a FT order that shipped the same day, and that is still sitting in china.

    Figured I'd order a Squape Reloaded before it disappears. Hope I like it. I've been looking for an explanation of the 3 different decks that come with it but except for names really didn't find anything. Standard, wide and curved. Initially I thought airflow or juice flow, standard and wide fit but curved makes no sense in that context so I'm stumped.

    Did the skeleton key mod disappear? That was another I saw was actively sending out cease and desist orders.

    Watch Todd's review it explains the bases. One is for silica, the other is for cotton, and I don't remember the third one.

    Robbot ZNA 30 came today! Beware all who ordered it, the tube can and did come installed upside down! It did make a difference! Put it together and it was difficult to get together BTW. The top by the atty attachment was heating up. Pulled it apart, couldn't see anything to adjust so I put on the 18650 tube (upside down because who assumes the manufacturer doesn't know which way they go) installed battery and same thing. SO I looked carefully at the threading and flipped the tube around and voila it's okay.

    Is that the Blue Magic? :ohmy: Wow, that was really fast considering it was just last week that you were wondering when it would ship. 3 days from China to Chicago is lightening speed in deed! We are gonna have to celebrate this first venture into the light! :banana:

    Oh goodie, its gonna be like a Squape Reloaded party up in here seeing how several of us got one! :banana: As far as the decks are concerned, it all seems a bit gimmicky to me. The difference is supposed to affect overall juice flow into the wicks, standard has the same size as the original Squape, wide is simply larger wick channels, and curved is well .. curved, and for what purpose? Sounds like a gimmick to me :p

    Since I had absolutely zero problems with the original channel size, if it ain't broke then why try to build a gimmick around it? :laugh:

    The different decks are depending in your build and what juice you use, like the curved I believe is for higher VG juice, wide for larger coils, there is a few youtube videos that cover the different decks.

    I didn't need a curved deck for the first one, and I only vape high VG juice :blink: But whatevs, more accessories to keep track of and store, yeah! :laugh:

    Hmmm , well really my darling those tubes are supposed to screw on from both sides, your pick. Please keep us all updated and how it is all working out, because there shouldn't be anything heating up? :confused:

    BTW which side of the tube wasn't acting right? The side with the deep grooves, or the smooth side?

    The side without grooves can't go on first on mine. And for an update, if I set it over 19 watts the top begins to get warm when I'm not even touching it! Do you believe this has anything to do with the sticker? I can't imagine how but thought I'd ask. I'll see how it does through tomorrow and if it doesn't settle down Doris may have to exchange it.

    All put together there are still tiny gaps on both caps. I really don't care about that but thought I'd mention it. (cause I know it drives you nuts) :laugh:

    All that aside I love the configuration! I don't like how it looks with the 18650 tube on it, kind of interrupts the flow for me.

    Also, I think the screen is turned around because the up and down buttons are counter intuitive. I have tried to flip it around but am a dismal failure. How do I do it please? Hugs in advance for the help!
     
    Alright guys, i have a question about the Hana modz from Focalecig: Can you or Can't you Chain vape on it? I mean after around 35 seconds of 'chain vaping' on it (5 seconds of vape each with ~ 3 seconds of rest = +- 5 to 6 'chain vapes') i get the 'too hot' message. I think its a damn bummer :< i need to chain vape or i need to up my nic level. But i'm beyond that, if i do that i 100% get nic nausea lol. I love chain vaping with my favorite e juices, its just too damn nice. I am really wondering if this is 'normal' with the Hana mod (of Focalecig) or its something of the device. It kinda does seems normal it would be too hot after 35 seconds of intense use (although i do chain vape on my MVP and it just lets me to do, and my mechs just encourage me to do it lol). I have to add, it sometimes even do this after just two to three vapes (so 10 to 20 seconds). >.>

    Ps. i also got the just fog 2403 (or something like that) from FocalEcig = best Clearo ever. Especially for that price (5 dollar, here in Holland it cost 13 euro, thats thrice the amount). Also its a gift for... (here it comes)... my Grandpa :D haha he saw me vaping like a madman and enjoying the .... out of it and i guess he figured it might be better then the old style rollies he's used to.

    Lucky you got yours. Mine was supposed to deliver today but usps never brought it :( thanks for the heads up on the tube. I have the wotofo and I like when the 18650 tube is installed so hopefully it feels similar on the robbot.

    Ok, first thing ... The warranty sticker has nothing to do with any function or feature. Its just a way for the manufacturer to ensure that you don't mess with the chip, break it, then try to blame them for it.

    Tubes .. The side with the grooves is the side that should be able to screw on first, even as both sides should be interchangeable .. which is the case on mine, as well as my Wotofo. So something is off with the machining of the tube or the alignment of the connecting threads on the main control head.

    Top getting hot .. I have yet to vape this device over 15 watts, with 14.5W being my sweet spot for 1.2ohms on the Rose. But for the sake of being able to compare performance, I will set mine to 20watts and vape it for a bit to see what happens. I did do some voltage drop tests while firing it at 25W (not vaping just firing) and while my atty was hot (as it should be) I don't recall anything else feeling hot. But again let me vape it at a higher setting and see.

    Caps .. Only one of my batteries prevents the bottom cap closely completely, but it is like a hair's width, no major at all. My 18650's are no problem at all (flat tops) and everything closes.

    Up/down buttons: I also noticed that the up/down buttons are counter intuitive on my also. In fact it wasn't until yesterday while I was shooting the review pics that I even noticed it. Doesn't bother me, but I noticed it.

    To change your screen display from right mode to left mode, first you have to lock the screen (click 5x) and depress and hold the fire button and up button at the same time. However, when I tried it, it didn't work ? I was able to go from normal mode to stealth mode using the down button, but not right to left mode ... that is .. very questionable :confused:

    Other than that everything is perfect! :laugh: :cry: ... I will be back in few after vaping it at 20W for a bit.

    Yes, that's also what I tried to change the screen configuration and failed as well. It will say normal made...right mode but it doesn't change. Mine does not say stealth mode.
    Nikki, side note, I just tried to adjust the screen on my DNA 30 from FC with the same result....nothing.

    When you say "tried to adjust" you mean that you tried to flip the display from right to left correct? That is so weird .. the up button is otherwise very responsive, no problems with adjusting wattage. Just can't change from right to left mode .. not that I want to because I am a righty, but the feature should still be available.

    So I vaped at 20W for about 40 minutes and there is nothing hot happening over here .. Where was it getting hot on yours? Where you screw in the top cap?

    Yes, I tried to flip the screen. I'm a righty as well but vape with my left hand for some odd reason. It was getting warm on the top band that you screw the tube and the atty into. Warm not hot, I say hot meaning you can't touch it, I could still touch it. Vaping between 12 and 14 watts seems to be no problem.

    I've vaped my other squape at 0.50ohms no problem, and plan to do the same with this one, the way the deck is, I see no problem sub ohms on it.

    I think I read in another post you use 24g for the single coil. How many wraps do you do to get .5. I am terrible with measurements but I think I use a 2mm rod on my coil jig. I know for 26 I do 7/8 wraps for .50 with a dual coil. I assume I would need a smaller diameter to get a .5 with 24g single coil.
