Anyone know if or when the rose v2 and orchid v4 are coming back to the us warehouse?

I am sure they are, they usually restock after a sell out :)

ETA: I see Darth Vaper has already given you a more detailed reply :) Atta boy!

I love the fogger, but it is tricky to build though, as no post holes so have to wrap coil legs around post screw, so 1st coil stays in place while mount the 2nd.

The orchid is easier to build and I do think it beats the fogger, probably due to more airflow, but the v1-v3 have low juice capacity, so have to fill often, but I have a orchid v4 coming, which is meant to hold a lot more juice, just don't know if the longer chimney will affect the vape experience with it.

Personally if the juice capacity is not a big deal, then I would recommend the orchid over the fogger, but both do produce good vapor and flavor.

I drilled holes in the posts on my fogger only to find I'd sometimes cause the wire to pinch and break. The problem is the threaded hole in the post continues on beyond the hole drilled in the side so when you tighten the screw it acts like a paper punch and can snip the wire right off. If the threaded hole stopped right at the bottom of the side hole then the wire would be clamped and the worse you could do is flatten it.

Another member sent me washers to go under the screws, I put one on each screw and slide the wire under the washer and wrap, there is no more of the screw head pulling on the wire while you tighten the screws.

Nice watermark! :thumb:
Didn't even notice the watermark until you pointed it out. Trouble is that where Nikkita6 put the watermark makes it easy to remove by cropping the image. There's a reason they plaster those ugly words right across the middle of the image yanno ;)

This is what I was talking about. The photographer is Stickman and all his pics has his watermark integrated into the pic w/o distracting from it.

Thank you darling :D .. I like the dainty script font, looks good on my name :wub: But Cindy made me a transparent watermark layer thingy, and then proceeded to show me how easy it was to remove my watermark :laugh: She's a smart one that Cat :p

Maybe I will use both because I have grown rather fond of the dainty script font :laugh:
The script font you used certainly is very classy and tasteful, befitting your caliber of porn. Absolutely nothing like what I would have come up with. :D

Maybe Cindy could make a transparent watermark layer thingy with the classy font?

I would like to try an Orchid or Fogger now. I would like recommendations (is one better? Which version of it?)

I love the fogger, but it is tricky to build though, as no post holes so have to wrap coil legs around post screw, so 1st coil stays in place while mount the 2nd.

The orchid is easier to build and I do think it beats the fogger, probably due to more airflow, but the v1-v3 have low juice capacity, so have to fill often, but I have a orchid v4 coming, which is meant to hold a lot more juice, just don't know if the longer chimney will affect the vape experience with it.

Personally if the juice capacity is not a big deal, then I would recommend the orchid over the fogger, but both do produce good vapor and flavor.
I have Orchids V1, 2, & 4. There is no flavor loss in the 4, just a taller but narrower tank like the 3. I use the 4 daily, it has become my favorite tank but does have an issue. The 3 and the 4 use the Kayfun style 22mm tanks while the 1 & 2 use the 23mm pregnant tank which makes a noticeable difference.

The chimney base on those things are very wide to accommodate the dual coils, so there is very little clearance between it and the inside of the plastic tank section on the 3 & 4. You must fill very slowly or it will back up, unlike the V2 which you just stick a needle bottle in there and squeeze. If you chain vape you have to tilt it around a little every once in a while to help the air bubble escape from the bottom so it can be replaced by juice. Just one of those little idiosyncrasies any rebuildable has.

Because backup. Or the backup's backup. Or the backup's backup's backup. Be prepared.

My humble little Hana clone is still my most used regulated mod even though it is sharing the stable with a Sig 100 and IPV2. I'll definitely buy another if this one ever croaks.

Don't know how I missed your post.

Did you get your Hana clone from FC? How is it? Does it have the delay to fire from sleep?

By the end of the month I should have VS rDNA 40>Hana clone>Istick>V5>V5>MVP2. How's that for backups? I was also thinking about picking up a VS DNA 30. Reminds me of when I had 8 motorcycles at one point and a friend asked, "Why do you have so many bike? You only have one ....."


Well that's not fair to generalize like that, especially since I was thinking of getting one too. ;)

If you give me a few hours I'm sure I'll be able to come up with some other reasons. :D

I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong :lol:

Countdown: 7 days 10 hrs.

Should have been asleep hours ago but I needed to rewick a couple of atties, and decided to try a new build on my Veritas. Once I had that one together I realized that on this setup even the drip tip is from FC, so I had to take a picture and post some quickie porn.

I'm in trouble, I think Miss Nikki is starting to rub off on me. :facepalm:

Yes, my Hana clone is from FC. And, yes, there is a delay from sleep to fire. Click to wake, wait a sec, click to fire. Not a big deal and you get used to it fast. Mine has been awesome. Guess I've had it for about three months now and I would have a sad if it broke.

My Hanna from FC has that delay but you don't have to click twice, just hold the button down, it wakes then fires and it's a rather short delay, it's less then a second. I've gotten in the habit of hitting and holding the button as soon as I pick it up, by the time it's to my lips it's firing. I love mine, my only nit pick is when the battery gets low it doesn't ht as hard, but that may be the norm for these regulated mods, I'm still fairly new to them. I also have the Vamo v5 clone from FC, that's a nice mod too but the Hanna hits harder and is my favorite. Good deal for the money!

After the first of the year I'll be looking for a good price on the DNA 40 board to put in the Hanna, by the the prices should come down, they should be more available and the bugs should be worked out of them or so I'm hoping.

I got a wild hair and bought an Ithaka clone. I was a little scared of building it because everyone says how hard it is. Well after I twisted wire and cussed for about 45 minutes my husband offered to build me a mini zapper to join the wires. I got online and ordered the parts he wanted then went back to try and build it. The wires twisted right up and the build itself is a piece of cake. I am really loving the flavor on this thing. Clouds aren't bad either.
