Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[halfempty]

The Orchid V4 that FC put up this morning is looking pretty sweet!!!!

Nikki, you know anything about this device? i.e. larger airflow??? And, any plans on convincing Doris to get this beauty over to the US warehouse???

Darn! Just got the top fill cap for my V1, and the V2 I ordered finally shipped yesterday.

Don't think the air holes are larger. From what I've read the only difference between the V3 and V4 is the tank size and longer chimney to accommodate the new tank. It uses the full size Kayfun tanks instead of the nano and is supposed to hold >5ml of juice.

You/re right, we need this in the US warehouse.

It would be nice if they just sold the taller chimney. I'm OK with my V1 except for that.

I agree 100%, my only complaint was the small tank but the bottom fill screw on the 2 & 3 is sure nice. Fixed the 1 with a top fill Kayfun cap but it doesn't make it hold more

I thought to myself "self, if you love the Sat22 perhaps you should dig out the Kraken and see if you like it now" NOT...it's still disgusting! Oh well, I tried! I'm going to put the Kracken and a ton of Kayfuns on ebay!

The other place just came out with Sat22s in colors (including rainbow). If I were the OG, I'd be so ...... right now. Makes it look so cheap and tacky.

YUCK!!!! I guess someone is gonna buy them though! I would be ...... if it had been my idea too!

There's got to be tons of someones who buy them considering how many products they offer in rainbow. But I can honestly say that nobody I've talked too has ever had a reaction much better than YUCK. So I have no clue where they all are. Could it be a cultural thing? Like every Laplander who vapes has at least one rainbow item in their kit?

OMG just got a response from Fasttech about the tank that isn't the size listed and finally lost patience. Here is the communication I am having with them;

This does not fit on my kayfun! It is much too small on for the base to fit in.

Sorry to hear that.

Please understand this item works with Kayfun v3.1 ES and Kayfun Lite 30mm versions (26650 versions). Please be sure you have used on the mentioned atomizer.

Thanks.

Well, it doesn't fit on mine so I need to send it back. Why can't you just provide the address to send it to and an RMA number instead of wasting my time with a reply like that? I will be sure to put your response on the forum so others can know what to expect. You are losing quite a bit of business because you have been taking so long to ship then when something isn't right this nonsense!
Now, can I please get and address and an RMA number to ship it back?

I even sent a picture with my base included. I really wish FC has all the things I need so I won't have to deal with FT anymore. It's going to be some hard thinking on my part to decide if the money saved is worth the heartburn of dealing with this this. At least if I buy it stateside I get it fast and have some recourse that I can easily understand if it's not right. This is the price I pay for being a tightwad I guess.

The downfall of the CS of FT is that they are such a large company, so responses are inconsistent. One rep will be like "sure, no problem, right away", the next rep will give 1000 excuses and double talk you to death. I have dealt with one of each type at FT, the totally helpful rep, and the totally I must open a PP dispute on yo rep

FC only has -1 and Doris to contend with

Exactly....I cancelled the order I had pending and asked for a PP refund!

I guess I am behind the times here. I am not a film maker and do not know how to get my phone to take videos to begin with secondly, if I did get it to work I have no idea how to send it!
I don't mind taking pictures at all but video is asking too much for us less tech savvy older people. I feel like the bottom line should be, stand behind what you're selling and it shouldn't depend on me being tech savvy to be able to get a unit that's working. I do understand why she's asking for it but it shouldn't be the customers responsibility to go to such great lengths to prove to their supplier that there is a problem. With all the problems with this first run, Robbot shouldn't even be requiring such measures.
I got a reply from Doris this morning that the pictures I sent aren't good enough so I guess I can just eat the $100.

Nooo, don't eat anything because that is not an acceptable solution either ... You don't have a USB cord that connects your phone to computer? After you take the video, just connect to computer and upload the file, then attach it to email.

But I definitely don't think you should not just keep it the way that is ... if you really cannot capture the video, then explain that to Doris and maybe she can have the warehouse guy take the video for RMA, it would be going back to him anyway.

SQR clone has shipped finally. This thing better not be a POS, lol.

Well, I wouldn't call mine a POS, but I did loose an entire tank of juice from leaking through the window And it was German Chocolate Beefcake and I was not happy either ... I hope it is a easy as a missing oring on the tank section as I have read some others complain about. My positive and negative posts were also a PITA .. this was the most aggravating first build I have ever done.

I will try to remove the tank later and see if a missing oring had anything to do with the leaking ... but I really have no time for this ish, I really don't Nailz had no problems with his though. *shrugs*

No, I had no idea that they even stocked it, Doris didn't mention it me last night. I haven't even taken my Orchid V3 out of the box yet, and I got that one before the Squape R

To the best of my knowledge the V4 is just a full size tank, so additional juice capacity is the only change I believe .. I am sure that I can get her to send it to the US warehouse though. It may take a minute though .. Some products go from manufacturer directly to the US warehouse, and some products are sent from FC's China warehouse.

Turns out that the suggestion was useful for me even though its the robbot and not the wotofo. With the spring pulled out you see the display come to life then die by the time I've gotten the cap screwed on fully. Makes it more obvious that there's a loose wire.

For those more tech savvy users than an old fart like me, how exactly do I make a video of this? My phone's camera app has a little movie camera icon. I assume when I tap that I start making a video instead of taking pictures. Then how do I send it? When sending pics, I'm in my email app, click the paper clip to attach something, pick gallery and select the pic and magic occurs. Where do I look to find the video I made? Its a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android if that's useful.

On your phone you just select the video icon and hit start ... Before you shoot, put the battery in the tube without the bottom cap, then start the video and show on camera that the battery is in the tube, then screw on the bottom cap and show that the display screen is not on. Uploading video from a camera is the same as uploading pictures, no different. Attach the file to email and send ...

Yes please if you can along with some Rose extra tanks

It turned into a giant PITA and wouldn't attach because it was so big so I pulled it up on my dropbox and sent it with the google cloud thing. If that doesn't work I'm done. Let me build attys instead, okay? You know how some people have mental blocks on one hated thing? Video's are my "thing".

Has anyone tried Fat Daddy's vape donuts? I have some on order and I'm kind of excited about them.

Could you notice where it started to leak? I guess from the upper o-ring - maybe because they didn`t push the pmma not over the upper o-ring. I`ve seen a german review on YT and this guy had the same issue. He put some liquid from the outside through the windows to the upper o-ring. With a finger inside the tank he slowly + slightly pressed the pmma into position, while he was turning the SS tank.

You will not understand this guy, but at about 7:00 he shows how he did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJfHCFEUOTQ

Btw: he had a glass version

Someone posted in the SQR clone thread that both units he received from FC this week leak like a sieve.
