That Aqua SE clone looks nice.

I want it, I don't need it. Ugh. They just need a Xvostick clone and I'll be tempted to get the two.

I'm assuming Focal is experiencing shipping issues similar to fasttech. Is that right?
If your looking to get those 2 together,3f has both in stock.

:facepalm: Thank you and thank you. I must have missed it, see it now.

I understand there are some issues with China mail at the moment. I read about a few people who have their orders stuck from various sites. I might wait until things clear up.

I would.

Is this why FC went to Deutchmail?

I was thinking about that too. The page has a decent selection.

I wonder if Focal will ship from the German location across seas. I guess an email would clear that up.

They've been shipping our stuff from China to Germany, and from there to us.

That's true. It would be great to be able to some "hot" products over there.

I'm really liking the look of the Xvostick, hope the clone turns out nice. I was looking into getting a Kato clone around the time I first saw the Xvostick. The Xvo looks to have a a shorter seat for the atty, as well as a smaller appearance overall. Still interested in Kato, despite the issues I hear about voltage drop. FEV3 with the glass looks awesome too, always looking at that.

That groupbuy Kangxin squonker has my attention. Would be nice to have a VW device to go along with my two bottom-fed attys from FC (Velocity and LowPro), and I love that they decided to go with a logo-less design.

Speaking of the LowPro, I received mine earlier this week and finally got around to throwing a build in it. Performance-wise it's great, though it has one major flaw: the two wire slots on the side without the insulator are either cut too wide or too far away from the screws, so they won't catch the wire when tightened. I tried with twisted 27g and 30g and it wasn't working at all. The only way around this is to slightly curl the end of the coil leg(s) so that it extends into the screw well and then tighten it down directly -- unfortunately this is problematic since the screws tighten the same direction, they begin to twist the coils in opposite directions, turning it into a much more difficult atty to build on than it should be. I might post a picture or two if I can find the time.

It could have easily been a 10/10 if it were machined properly or the screw heads on the affected side were bigger, but now it's an 8/10.

edit: Has anyone tried using titanium wire in a Kangxin-chipped TC device? I'm waiting on some titanium wire so haven't had a chance to test it myself; would like to avoid using nickel but temperature control ability is something I'd like to try.
