Drinking and being enabled does not mix good. You'll be "...?, I ordered these? damn you!!!" Then when it arrives, "Not too shabby!"

Wouldn't be the first time stuff has appeared on my doorstep that I didn't remember ordering, lol. My wife often gets home before I do so I now have most of my purchases shipped to the office.

Did she mention anything about a nano version? I almost pulled the trigger on the FT one but I know others will be released soon and I'm hoping we see nano version.

No word on a nano version yet, but I was purposely NOT mentioning the Erl that FC was getting because in the past whenever I pre-talk products it creates too much anticipation and questions ..

The truth is, until a few days ago Amod was planning to produce the Erl clone with their logo on it, which was going to be the last phase of their production. I implored Amod NOT to do that because I firmly believed that no one wanted a Erl clone with Amod written on it :blink: Amod listened and emailed two days ago that they would leave their name off the device ... very smart. :glare:

I can't remember what FaceBook group I saw it in but there was talk of a SX Mini pre-order and that Yihi changed it to 60w instead of 100w because of problems they were having. Makes sense since only one 18650 on a 100w just isn't going to cut it.

that makes absolute sense ... I give no poops about 100W, but that device is sexy and Nikki has to have it! I had no plans for vaping that high, but I want it :D

Was a interesting build, but all is well with the Rose [emoji1] . I do not know if the flavor is better than my kayfun yet as I haven't had my favorite liquid Virus in a week (taste absolutely amazing but cannot pinpoint if it is the Rose or lack of Virus), but will load my kayfun with it and do a side by side this weekend. The quality is absolutely incredible though. Not a fan of the thin drip tip, but it doesn't make it unvapeable, just petite.

Thanks again Nikki for the review as their is no way I could have figured it out lol

you are right, the magnets in the cheap srx are smaller and weaker than in sxk version.
about getting stuck when fired: noticed that problem, tried o-rings, additional magnets.. try to unscrew the pin of the switch a bit; this fixed the problem in my mod.



i've received:


-the kato.

someone asked for magnets to upgrade the switch. it's measures should be: OD < 7.95mm, ID > 4.75. didn't find any suitable magnet :(
but i used a pair of o-rings, and now the throw is minimum (<1mm), and had not to sand the delrin. used a 6(OD)x1mm rubber o-ring below the head of the pin; and a 4(OD)x1mm one at the top of the pin's thread. will try a kick when the flat chi you top cap arrives here (if it ever does it, grr).
i was surprised by the weight of the mod. can't understand how it is so heavy, considering that the main body is made of aluminum. anyway, i'm loving it. =))

someone asked about voltage drop. tried with a full charged efest purple 2500mah and a kayfun with a coil of 1.2ohm. the drop was about 0.25v, which is less than i expected. it's not an stingray x, but it hits enough hard for me.


-the rose v2 (lambo). didn't try it yet (it is getting dried after a light wash, it came very clean, no oil taste) but looks like really great. the ceramic parts are not loose (which is great) but a bit tight (had to sand one of them, after breaking the other one while trying to remove it :( ) will report my experience.

ordered an erlkönigin in ft. got too excited when saw it. 8ml in a very comfortable (i hope) and innovator atty.

.25 voltage on the Kato sounds accurate to me .. as I said in my review, it was definitely not the hardest hitting mech I have, but I could tell that it wasn't an insane voltage drop. .25 is acceptable for a stainless steel/brass contact mech. :)

Does this look like the FC (Limwell) Kato?

79136172.jpg


A seller on Rakuten has this for $46.99 shipped.

Kato Square Box Mechanical MOD Ecig Vaporizer fits RDA tank coils and 18650 batteries (Clone) - Rakuten.com

I told myself I wasn't going to buy anything else tonight but I'm now half drunk and dripping 24mg juice at .2ohm. My judgement may be slightly impaired. :blink:

It looks like the Limwell, but can't say for sure ... its definitely not a Hotcig, of that I am positive. But it could be from whoever made those two new gold and black Kato's on FC's site, and Limwell did not make those ..

Awesome darling, I am glad that you hit the ground running with it. :) ... but what do you mean you are not sure its the Rose making all that yummy flavor? :glare:

Of course it is the Rose! :p ... but seriously, its the Rose. :D

Finally found a good copper Akuma and now want a Stingray X (gonna let the Akuma patina up!). Any idea when FC USA will restock "(Ship from USA)SXK 18650 Stingray X Clone Mechanical Mod"???

Funny you should ask because I also asked, I think it was last week, and the answer was yes .. its one of FC's best selling mechs. I will ask the woman if she has a ETA on the next batch. :)

KidneyPuncher has a pre-order for the "Mini-SX 350". Looks like it's a 3000 LiPo, 60W, max 9.5V, max 25 Amp, $280. I don't like the Lipo and i don't like price :(

Shut the front door! I don't like lipo batteries either, that is why I am turned off from the Vapor Flask V1 clone .. Say it isn't so? I don't see how a lipo is going to handle sub ohms and high watts, it just doesn't calculate for me. :(

Ok so I got the Squape R on Tuesday I think, but never posted any pics .. Nor have I built it yet but I put it on the Robbot ZNA to see how it would look, and I like it on the ZNA even a little more than the Rose, but I am talking looks though being that I haven't built it yet. The build quality is very good based on first impression, the AFC ring moves easily and that 3.2mm air hole is looking mighty enticing so I need to get this built soon and give her a go :banana:

    Looks really good on the ZNA Nikki ;)

    Now get that thing built and loaded, want to see if your thoughts are like mine on it, you know I wasn't a fan of the squape v1 clone I got, but loving this reloaded one, and be interested to see what you think of it compared to the rose.

    I will say the air flow is awesome on the 3.2 hole, but I found I lost flavor too, I am using the 3rd largest hole on mine.

    I get what your saying and I'm sure there is current through the brass ring but there must be current through the spring too or why bother cleaning it or making a silver plated option. IDK, I guess it's both. Either way the important thing is that it's working great. I may have to pick up a clone because the Heron is my favorite atty right now. I was a little put off at first with having to use fluff but it's not a problem at all and I love the ease of use. Flavor seems to be better than my Kayfuns and working on it is as easy as a dripper.

    IDK why they chose silver plated springs ( sounds always good ), I don`t see any reason for my Heron, to change the spring. If you get burn marks on your contacts, after having used it in high power mode, a harder spring could help. But who uses the Heron with 30 Watts or even more.

    I 100% agree, the Heron is very, very yummy and most days I say: the Heron tastes better than theKayfun/Taifun/FeV.... and 2 days later I say: the FeV is very yummy and the flavour is better than the Heron. :) ;) :) On some days it`s not a question of atty, it`s my personal form of the day.
    IDK why, but for me the Heron has the most intensive flavour. So intensive that I have to decrease the amount of flavour in some liquids.

    ... <snip> ...
    I took the switch apart and used jeweler's files to remove the offending sharp edges, that took care of the crunchy/sticky issues. Took the magnets out and used a Nemesis switch spring for now and it's working quite well. If I can't find proper magnets I'll give your o-ring idea a try next time I have the switch apart, getting those weak magnet a little closer to each other might do the trick.
