Did you try the chalice on another mod before this happened?If not,could be a bad one.
Yep, a Bad Chalice. Messed with it today, without the cap on it works fine, but when I screw on the cap it reads a short. Tried to "bend" the posts in a little, but then really screwed it up. Just a bad clone job. WTH it was under $10, so not a lot lost. On the FT site (they list 2) there is one that gets good reviews, and one that is just like this one. I think I'll order the better one from FT and see what it is like, it's only $10, I really like the design and how it is supposed to work. Don't really know what other atty to get for a non LP cReo that is not a lot of $$.

Good to know about the problem with the chalice,i have thought of getting 1 and didn't even realize they had 2 different ones.
As to what other atty's will work,they are a bit hard to find at a good price.The non lp uses a 14mm atty,there are a few out there that are bf,but i ended up getting a squid and a cyclone clone and converting them to bf.Since then i ended up making the Reo clone into an lp version so i can use standard atty's though.

Well, my order reached Kearney, NJ yesterday............and I ordered it September 18th. So that must mean it's been 16 days, they must be pushing a record for "snail mail".
I have a feeling it won't be here til the 9th so they can give me the "Waited 3 Weeks for My Stuff" award, lol! Lucky me.
Wonder why it went from New York to New Jersey, when it's coming to Arizona? Usually Texas is the hub from New York, then maybe a distraction in Colorado, ugh, hope not.
Have bought various 1:1, clone Kayfuns, Russian 99%s, and Taifuns. They all worked pretty good.
The best RBA was a dirt cheap Kayfun, think I paid $12 for it.:thumb:

Mine is in Kearney NJ as well! It makes sense for my package based on where I live but, for you it should have went somewhere more west? Either way it hasn't moved for a day or so.

I got a vapor mini flask, wire, a sapor, a coiler, and maybe something else. I forget at this point.

So yea it's looking like 1 week to process. 1 week to go from China to Germany to the US. Then hopefully, HOPEFULLY, 3-4 days to get to my door. 2.5 weeks still beats FastTech by about a week to sometimes 2 weeks.If they could speed up that processing time it would be a no brainer.

I'm not sure if I'll use them again though, the wait is borderline painful for my impatientness :unsure:. Then again I saved maybe $50 by using them:ohmy:.. hmm

Its hard to say what time it will take to get something. I've gotten one item in 7 days from placing the order. Other times its been 2.5-3 weeks. It depends a lot on whether its in stock when you order.

And especially matters if there is a holiday you don't know about.

Well, will wonders never cease!!!
Went to the PO this morning, waiting for bloodtyping stuff for one of my horses........got home about 2 hours ago and I just got a tracking response that my stuff is ready to be picked up at the PO?!?!?!?!
Ok, that was fast from New Jersey, I just hate having to drive the 3+ miles of washboard dirt road going back to pick it up!!!!!! :-x I guess if I ran into a range cow, it'd be steak for dinner and well worth the drive, lol! If I don't get it today, it might be a while, have storms coming in and don't feel like "playing" in the mud......:glare:

I think my record was 7 days, it was on a promotion. China to San Francisco, then Phx to where I'm at, I was dumbstruck!

There is nothing in the video you missed, just showed the basic operation. Didn't even show the atomizer being placed on the device so we could see if it asks the new atomizer question.

I have my doubts this is SXK but I'm hopeful.

I spoke to them about the XvoStick, it isn't an SXK chip and it doesn't have resistance lock or adjustable TCR.

I will wait for a review.

I am still going to get one. I do not really care about TC, its a fantastic design. It will work great with my tanks and thats all I care about.

Thanks for the info I was wondering what it was. I sent them a email but have not heard from them yet. They have been closed the last week when did you talk to them?

I spoke to 3fvape this morning, they have the same device.

What is the best RDA for me to try dripping on? I have a TC mod & while I've never even built a coil I figure it's something I want to try so I might as well buy a clone & give it a whirl.

Whoa, you haven't built a coil and you have a TC mod? What have you been using?

Hi everyone!!!! Been a long time since I've posted in the thread. Just the usual. Glad to see you are still here

Weezy! Good to see you around brother.

I don't hang out in these parts much anymore either. But, I have a reason today... if anyone has been thinking about the Inoy 60W TC squonker, Doris is sending me one to review. I'll drop a link to the review in this thread when it goes live. Probably be a few weeks though since I have stuff in the queue ahead of it.
