yeah that could work. i do have a black tank kit coming for kayfun, but i have to look at sales ,after all I have till xmas to find a good match,lol

I fell in love with it way before it arrived. The coils set up and the 2mil drip tray in the bottom was way cool, and I like not having to refill so often to drip.

hey all, I don't spose any of you have recieved the 22mm ERL from focal yet, have ya? I decided I need a 22mm erl now but, can't decide between the yiloong or the focal one...

Well, seeing how notorious Yiloong is for swiping ECF pics and it originally had "Qorax" stamped on the chimney... :laugh:
(the one with the graffiti logo on the plastic tank)

Oh, wait. I think I'm getting all the different versions mixed up. :blush: There are so many now!

Welp, I ruined my Vanilla mod clone. Locking ring got stuck and I hastily tried to dislodge it with my (previously) tried-and-true towel & pliers technique, stripping the firing button threads. At least it was cheap (and wasn't that great to begin with).

I think I hear the new group buy calling my name...

Going "all man" on it .. it happens :p

I just received the Amod Erl, but I don't think its 22mm ... so this was a wasted reply to your comment :p

Just a little thought experiment here...

Can any of you fine folks sell me on a regulated box mod readily available at FC? About time I got some hands-on with one. What I want is

- Single 18650 battery
- 10-50 watts. Can be more, but that's no requirement
- Small as possible
- Adjustable/floating 510 center pin
- No 33.33hz chips please
- Price max $100 but hopefully as low as possible. Not looking to save $10 for lower quality.
- Runs down to 0.6 ohms. Just for easy swapping of atties from my mechs.
- Comfy
- Sexy

I don't plan on nitpicking this a lot. Just want to make sort of an semi-informed impulse purchase of something regarded as a good representative for box mods.

I got my blue one a few days ago. It's more turquoise than blue. The pause to fire from sleep is kind of annoying and making me want to upgrade sooner rather than later. The buttons aren't installed straight but works fine and doesn't move. The 510 isn't adjustable but the threading is pretty nice. If I had to do it again, I'd probably order the good one from FT (not the value versions which I think are the same as FC's).
On my FC DNA 30 clone I got used to the delay from sleep mode to firing fairly quickly. However I have a 'lazy' button (bottommost "down" button); its click is muted compared to the other buttons, it was fine when I first got it. It's not loose or anything, just not nice and snappy anymore, although it still works as it's supposed to. The biggest problem I have w/mine is it adds 0.3 to 0.4 ohms to the resistance of attys that are around 2.4 ohms (I haven't taken the time to pin down exactly where the error starts and stops as I don't usually use builds having resistance high enough to cause the error). Changing to a build having, say, 1.5 ohms and it reads correctly. Just something you might keep an eye out for...

ETA I may have made a similar reply to an earlier post w/much the same info, if so pls. disregard.

Received the Blue DNA 50 today. Trying it out at 35watts with the group buy Plume Veil at dual 0.7Ohm. Loving both of them. The DNA 50 wakes up faster than the previous DNA 30, in less than 1 second. Everything else looks the same as the DNA 30 except the led hole besides the usb charging port showing charge status. I like it better than the ZNA 50 I got from FT. Adding the SS 510 connector with adjustable copper center pin (also from FT) is a plus.

I just ordered a hana DNA 50 mini from FT, glad to hear the chip wakes from sleep quicker :) does the chip step down the voltage like the specs suggest? not much info out on the hotcig dna 50!

Who was the person who said they pulled the trigger on the 260W Variant clone? I can't remember if it was Fa-Q or someone else? :unsure:

Whoever it was, if you have received it I would love to hear your feedback on it :)

It be me Nikkita6. I'm sorry for the delay. I was busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. I can offer you a bit of insight about it but not near as good as you can :( I'm kinda nervous after watching the Variant review about being a "Professional Vaper" Do I need a certification to operate this thing? :ohmy: I'm not much into dripping. The only 3 things going on it will be the Kayfun 4, Lemo and Orchid 4. BTW. I pulled the trigger and bought a SXmini. My budget is done for this month. I'm just glad they aren't releasing the Kayfun 4's till December:D

For those waiting for the Variant Shipment from VaportekUSA, I called them on Monday and they said that they had shipped from China and they should have them by Saturday. They will probably ship next Monday if not sooner :D

Just got an e-mail from eleven telling me they only got half their order of the Zero's so it will be another 2 weeks. I ordered within hours of it being up so I asked her where I was on the list, the reply I got was "thank you for supporting focal". What? Really?
That's ridiculous IMO.

Not sure its a box mod and don't know what frequency the chip runs at, but I really like my Wotofo ZNA I bought from another member. I do go through batteries like poo through a goose though so I'm going to pick up a couple more 18490s. I do like the sturdiness in that format so decided not to buy the 18650 tube. Its solidly built and the wiring looks great. Eventually it will be a DNA40, but right now the clone chip is working just fine. At this time, its by far my best clone mod.

Thanks for the tip. It doesn't strictly have to be a 'box' box mod, just not half a mile worth of tube mod :)

I did notice they got a ZNA 50 mod just the other day also.
$99.75 1:1 ZNA 50 by Robbot Tech (18650+18490/18500) - Silver
Would that be of comparable quality?

My guess so far is I'll end up with either a Hana or a ZNA. If no other candidates show up, I'll figure which is considered the highest quality and push the order button.
