    See the A-mod erl dropped at last, it does look really good, wish I could of waited for it, as sure does look a good version, and a good deal with the metal drip tip and metal tank section, if I really love the erl I got coming, then will get the A-Mod version too.

    Also see now a no-logo squape r, but I won't be bothering with that one.

    A lot of new releases today from FC :D

    Vape Mail showed up a day early! Too bad my batteries didn't show up a day early as well.

    I've googled Tensai a few times and I couldn't find any :( .. Where did you find them?
    got them in a german online shop: inTaste, svoemesto distributors (InTaste
    i had to get a ss 510 pin for kayfun lite 2 (bought two "cheap" kayfuns in fc for getting spare parts, but at the end, i liked both so much than the expensive ones, so using them with quartz kits and fill caps; i was afraid to repeat this again if i get another kayfun..), and took advantage of the 5€ discount in 1st buy after liking their fb page to compensate the shipping costs. i have to buy the batteries in europe, to avoid high shipping costs and customs. guess you prefer to buy them in america due to same reasons.
    i suppose there must be online shops in the us selling those batteries. aren't they made in japan? (dunno)

    My T6 should be here within a couple of days so if you want another week or so I will you the honest skinny on it .. but there someone on the other forum who received it and she said she loved it and that it looks much nicer in person than the photo show.

    Looking forward to your thoughts on the device Nikki. However, I got impatient, changed my mind again, and ordered a Sigelei 100 just now. lol

    Been tempted by that Sig 100watt, if it wasn't for the zero, I would of probably ordered one too, but I am going to wait and see if the zero is worth the money :)

    The Zero is sweet, for sure. But, I want something that delivers more than 30W (actually, more than 50W as I have an IPV2). I plan to use the Sigelei has a dedicated dripper box running 60W-70W. The IPV2 and Hana clone will continue to be daily driver regulated mods sporting RTAs.

    FWIW, Gvapers has a pre-order going for a Zero clone.

    He's usually a little high on his prices so I'm guessing when it hits the big China resellers it'll be a bit cheaper.

    Nikki? I been bad....don't get mad at me, K?

    I e-mailed Doris about the ZNA tube and here is what I said.....

    Hey Doris,

    Let's try this since Skype isn't going to work for us.

    I just heard on the forum that you are asking another person for a video of batteries not fitting, are you kidding me? I will not video trying to force my good batteries into a tube that doesn't fit and risk tearing the cover on them. That should be something you can easily verify when you get the tubes back. Measuring with calipers was suggested and again, I don't see how to show that when the tube narrows on the inside a ways up.

    It shouldn't be the customers responsibility to prove a defect. I don't mind taking a picture when it's obvious but I shouldn't have to be a cinematographer to return a non working item.

    I am getting frustrated all around. First, having to go so far as to take a video when the Robbot ZNA didn't work when you were already aware there were problems. Then when my Orchid 26650 finally got here it had a broken O-ring and no replacements so I fixed it without complaining. They used very small O-rings that should have been on a 22mm atomizer not a 28mm.

    Then I got my 2 Sat22 in the mail and again they had NO replacement parts with O-rings that were sub par and already damaged from the manufacturer forcing on the top to dry ill fitting rings. Not to mention they were $2 more per piece than Fasttech who DID send replacement parts in the unit.

    I just want the items I order from you to arrive in useable condition and if they do not, you should replace them with no hassles.


    I know, sometimes perhaps I should beat around the bush and put nice fru fru stuff in but seriously, I don't know how! This is the answer I got, now correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like eat pooh and bark at the moon to me.

    Hello Tami,

    I have replied you by skype.
    You will receive an email for replacement 18650 tube from service@focalecig.com
    For any other problem, please reach service directly.
    Thank you!
    Focalecig

    The Skype said I would be getting an e-mail from that address within an hour but it never happened. Then this morning when I checked on an order I've been waiting for it had an order for a 18650 tube for the ZNA.

    I seriously wasn't trying to alienate her but I think I may have managed.

    I'm just hoping you're not ...... at me too! :wub:

    Sigh .. Listen your RMA issues with FC have nothing to do with me, I don't work for them but I will say this ... Focalecig did not invent their RMA return policy when you became their customer, and I do not think it is reasonable for you to expect their return policy to change for you. If you don't like how they handle RMA then don't buy from them, but it is completely unfair to criticize them for a return policy that exists in writing, and was in place at the time that you chose to purchase from them ...

    You criticized their SAT22 because it does not come with spare parts? There is nothing in the product listing that says that it will come with spare parts, neither in writing, or photo .. Whenever spare parts are included with an item, FC usually photographs the parts package and lists it in the product description. If you prefer the price and offerings of FT's SAT22 then that is the one you should have purchased.

    For the record, I think that it is a bad idea for any manufacturer or vendor to sell any device that needs minor parts to function, and not also include some spare minor parts for that item. I also think that consumers should buy not a RBA with no spare parts unless they have a pre-existing supply of them in case they are needed.


    As far as personal feelings etc, I am totally staying out of that ...

    160.00, Ouch! for that kind of cash I think I would go for something authentic... however, im sure it'll be cheaper elsewhere down the road :)

    I didn't check new arrivals yet on FC or FT, I am too busy with new deliveries at my door :laugh: I just got a courtesy call from DHL that I have a shipment coming tomorrow but I am not sure what it is :unsure:

    The Erl .. I don't like that black drip tip, but I am ok with the SS one.

    That is actually cheaper than I thought it would be however, I don't trust this G Vapers .. the also have had the Psmoke Variant clone on pre-order since before Psmoke even had a wholesale price for it, I know this for a fact. And they use watermarked alibaba photos which means they have never even had a sample in hand and are most likely selling the clone sight unseen :facepalm:

    :laugh: No, say it ain't so! Well when you get your Sigelei post pics and we can compare user notes and see which one is the better 100W :D

    Yea I don't like the black drip tip, hence why had to make sure to get one that had the drip tip adapter, now it is a black drip tip adapter, but at least be able to use my own drip tips though, if really like it, then will get the FC one ;)

    :)

    There's a couple of folks in the T6 thread in the VV/VW sub noting that the box is grossly inaccurate or underpowered. Could be a couple of wonky units. Really small sample size out there right now. I'm sure you'll give the thing a rigorous workout. I'd be interested to hear if you experience this:

    Well this mod isn't accurate at all. I put an inline voltage tester on with my 1.8 ohm nautilus put it on 20 watts and was only getting 5.4 volts to the atomizer which is only about 16 watts. I had to set it up to 25.4 watts to get the 6.1 volts to make it an actual 20 watts to the nautilus mini. I had been thinking it didn't feel like it was giving me what it was set at so I thought I would confirm it. Kinda disappointing really as otherwise this is a very nice mod otherwise.

    Just put on a .50 ohm rda on it and se it to 100 w and its saying its putting out 7 volts put the meter is only reading 4.5.which is only 40 watts.

    I will be contacting Cloupor but I doubt that they can do anything about it.

    Just been messing with a few combinations and comparing the IPV2s and T6. So far, the IPV2s is definitely stronger on the same configuations. Using vtc5's on both and thought it was the efest 4200mah 26650 amp limit but seems about the same with the vtc5(yes it still takes 18650s). Got some ATW 26650 coming tomorrow but not sure if they'll make a difference. I'll continue comparing the 2 this weekend.

    This is the clone :banana: I will post pics of mine when I receive it, hopefully Monday/Tuesday :)
    This is the one with a wood body that's hidden by an outer cover? If so the original ones have some beautiful cover options. It'd be nice if the clone offered some of those but even the default plain cover has a nice look to it.
    I e-mailed Doris about the ZNA tube and here is what I said.....
    My turn to say don't get mad... I think its an age thing. As you can tell from my questions about sending a video and YouTube those aren't things I normally do, but I'm over 50 so maybe I have an excuse. I didn't and I'm sure nobody else read "the fine print" that states that they want photos or video proof of any problem if asking to return. And the request for proof of it doesn't work or fit seem as silly to me as they did to you from the way you wrote to Doris. But since they did state its what's required I'll do it but I'll also let them know that I don't have to do that with other sites and will keep their return policy in mind for future purchases. Now things like "it got scratches all over when it arrived" I could understand. Or some sort of odd behavior etc. But requiring proof of a negative, just silly.

    Speaking of silly, I'm now 1 day short of 2 weeks wait on a purchase being packaged up and shipped that contained a "ships in 2 to 7" days item. That's getting as bad as FastTech, which is a real shame because I truly feel at least some of the people at focalecig care about providing a decent product and decent shopping experience.
