Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[inswva]

I have a terrible dilemma. I can order the hana clone from FC in the color I want plus a battery or I can save around $10 and go with FC. I am absolutely torn right now that it's driving me crazy. Between comparing them and their atomizer selection I am lost as far as shipping goes as well is fasttech slow and unreliable with shipping and customer service because I emailed Doris and enjoyed the response. I like that but their selection isn't quite there yet and the shipping options again confuse me. I did manage to find a coupon code for FC so I'm leaning towards them.

The FC Hana clone is great... or, at least mine is. I've been using it for about a month as my primary device and it has been absolutely flawless.

Be advised that FT can't ship batteries via air mail. If you order a Hana clone from FT with a battery it'll be months before you ever see it.

Okay. I have closed that tab so temptation is subdued. Thank you for responding and helping me AGAIN. last question hopefully, what batteries do you recommend and what vendor? I am open to all opinions on the matter until I make a decision. If I'm making this big purchase I want a good solid battery that will last.

I use the Sony VCT4 or VTC5 but again, it is subject to personal preference. I just bought some from MadVapes the label says PVTSO and I wanted to try them. According to MadVapes they hold their own with the Sony's. Just make sure you get IMR batteries.

I only have 16 and I'm still on mod restriction.

Psst..you should ask our Queen for a Certified Playa card...
...but I think she requires group porn of your stuff!

Since the Sony are getting pricey I'm on to Samsung INR batteries. Orbtronics is also a good battery.

 

[cindycated]

Didn't Sony just stop making those? Maybe that's why they're pricey.

So I'm looking for flat top batteries correct? When looking at the product pictures there is no spring like traditional battery inserts.

Apparently there was ematal on at least one screw (SqR). I sanded the threads on the post screws and 510 screw. Its working now.

That one post is a little loose though. I tightened it as much as I could. Have to be really careful loosening that screw because the post wants to come out instead.

I'll ask as soon as I get some photos Thanks Cindy....is there any Purple involved?

I'm seeing a lot of them for being discontinued. Maybe they're just getting full of themselves and hiking prices. I know they stopped production on their 26650's though.

I believe either will work. I've had an AW and a Sony in mine and AW is button top.

Um, there is, but not how you're expecting it...

Random input: the new 17track.net site is whack. Can't figure how to track my stuff.

More random input: I've been on the fence about a 100W+ regulated box. I was all about the Sigelei but figured I'd wait until the 510 issues are sorted out. Then I saw a Deals and Steals post a few minutes ago about RTD running 30% off on all mods, juices, and rebuildable attys (code RTD30). Apparently, I snagged the last IPV2 in stock. $70 shipped... which is pretty good, I guess. I'll slum it with 50W for now.

Your random input made me laugh I don't know why anyone uses it though, USPS.com works just fine for me Good luck with your new IPV2 too ..

 

[Nikkita6]

Let you know how the Sigelei is. Luckily I got version 2 with updated 510. Should be here tomorrow.

I'm a little bummed. From now on FC and FT will be the only companies I buy stuff from overseas. I cheaped out and went to AngelCigs to get it faster cuz I'm sad without my Taifun. Needless to say that company can suck on a big one. Taifun came all jankedified. Adjustable 510 was crooked, a blind person can see that "sigh" wick wells are not up to par, Magma.....what a joke. Them air holes on the deck is the size of a needle. How the hell am I supposed to get flavor???? O yea last thing, they didn't even ship the mutation X. Emailed 3 times with no response.

Sorry for the rant. Have no where else to go but here at home. So more money today and got another Taifun.

hold on.... speaking of the devil, just got notification as I'm typing this an email from them lol

Yup, thats about right I wish you would have consulted me first, I could have spared you a lot time and some money ..

Illumn.com is a very good vendor for batteries and their prices are awesome, shipping costs are low .. Try this coupon code : ISpower15 to see if it still works for 15% off.

That is correct, so sources and supply are so limited and that is why they are pricey .. these batteries have been out of production for quite some time, that is why the ecig market was able to access them in the first place. Sony nor Samsung make these batteries for ecig applications, they were never intended to be sold to us. These batteries were manufactured for use in power tools.

I know I'm ashamed. I need a triple POW POW!!!! They refunded me for Taifun and Mutation X. Gave me a coupon for the Magma but I get to keep both if I can find a good 510 pin it might be able to work with some modification. But at least it's spare parts.

 

[roxynoodle]

My Squape has a bad problem. One of the post screws unscrews itself when I screw the base to the tank. I have to keep undoing it, and fixing it. Its not safe.

I wonder if they could send me just a new build deck? Between that screw and the lose post I'm pretty frustrated. The rest of the parts have a very nice finish though.

 

[inswva]

That sucks Roxy. Based on the SQR clone thread, my enthusiasm to receive mine is waning considerably. It'll still probably be another week before I see it. I may just sell it right off and save myself some aggravation.

Its been the most aggravating atty I've bought so far. Between having to get those o rings into the channels, sanding ematal off the screws, the loose post and this post screw constantly unscrewing itself, I'm beyond frustrated. So yes, if I could just get a new build deck with no loose parts, I would be happy with that. I don't want to send the whole thing back after spending forever on those o rings. I will if I have to though. At one point last night my rayon wick flamed up because of that screw undoing itself! There is no way I would take this thing out of the house with me. Any little bump and that post screw will loosen.
