Focalecig chat...Part 2

Nikki, I must not have read all the salient information in your Nano post... I had to wrap the top of the coil leg through, over and around, and back through the catch thingie for it to fit tightly on the post. Like I posted before, I believe the OG thingies have varied insider diameters to accommodate different gauge wires. The ones which come with the clone really need 26AWG but it's going to be difficult to get enough wraps of 26 on the wick to raise the resistance enough for an 18350.

I did try a cotton build and it failed miserably. My Nemy hybrid adapter should be showing up soon... I think I'll run the Nano tube with a 510 atty if I decide to hold on to it.

That was going to be my next move if the xc116 wick build didn't work out for me. At least with the lead secured to the negative post first I had enough tension to wrap from the bottom up. And I agree, clearly you need 26 gauge wire for these clone catch screws to hold as securely as they should. Ironically I read a post from someone on FT saying that he was surprised that he could use 26 gauge without a problem ... so even before I started I realized that this may not go as expected.

The ceramic wicks were not as fragile for as some have reported though. I did a lot of wrestling and man handling of it when I still trying to do the traditional build, and I only chipped a small piece off the bottom.

This little thingy does put out quite a bit of vapor, but the handling of it is a bit awkward being so small. It is cute as hell, but a novelty for me none the less.

I bought a Sat22 so I need to learn to build a genny.

I just bought an Aqua on Saturday and here they were on clearance today.

Miss noodle I was just coming to post that I received a clearance sale email from FC and they have the Tobeco Aqua V1 in China, and the other (I forget the manufacturer name) one in the US. Not sure that the Tobeco is China is real Tobeco though ... it has double red orings around the hybrid pin instead of the clear plastic insulator, which is a little suspect.

I didn't spend much more. I found an HCigar for $20 shipped Saturday. It had good reviews so I'm sure it will be fine, but of course tonight I was like dang!

I was also debating the Origen mod to go with it, lol!

Does anyone know the purpose of the straight pin included with the regular size and the mini size flash e vapor atomizer?

I see focal just put the wotofo ZNA on sale for $50, if I had waited a week I would have saved $20 I'm surprised Doris didn't tell me to wait a week when I emailed her questions on it, oh well.

They also have a battery sale going on --> battery sale If the Vision Spinner II's are authentic Vision, then that's a hell of a deal on the best spinner type battery I've ever used. They look right, even the packaging is right but you know how good they've gotten at cloning.... When they first came out I desperately needed a new battery, I paid the going price at my B&M of $32 and since bought three more. I use two through out the day switching back and forth between my two fav juices and they last me a day and a half on a charge. I rotate them when they need a charge which takes about 4 hours. They come with a one year warranty, I've had my first one 10 months now, it show's no loss of holding a charge and that one took a hell of a beating, that's the one that fell out of my pocket in the driveway and the wife ran over it! It scratched the hell out of it, squished the tube a little and the top was hanging out of the tube by the wires, I pushed the top back in and it fired! I've dedicated that one to be my "beater" that I use while in the shop, I've scratched it even more and dropped it on the cement floor a few times, it's ugly as hell but it just keeps on ticking! My only complaint, the paint started to peel off one of them, I just rubbed all the paint off using the edge of a credit card, that took it down to the metal which now looks identical to the one brushed stainless that I have. If you use spinner type battery's, this is a good deal, IF they are authentic Vision.

That pin came with the 23mm flash-e I bought from focal, I couldn't figure out what it's for either.

Do you like the Flash-e? I've been looking at it.

Well I don't have enough time into it to give an honest opinion yet. I've tried two builds and I'm not getting the flavor out of it as I do with the Rose, I suspect it has to do with my feeder wicks, the flavor is muted and that's a sign there isn't enough juice hitting the rayon wick. It didn't come with mesh, my one and only local B&M doesn't carry it but one of the guys that works there gave me some out of his stash, unfortunately it's very fine mesh and I think that's the problem, I need to get some ordered. I'm confident once I get feeder wicks working right it will be a great setup. It is very well designed, it does work very well and it's very easy to pop the base off if you need to adjust the wick.

Someone recommended I use 50 mesh in it.

I need to get mesh for the Sat so maybe I should get some for a future flash-e as well.

Pretty sure I'm going to hop on a Lancia clone soon, though I did manage to find a clone for a few dollars cheaper elsewhere.

Nikki, your review of it here really helped. I have a very important question though... where can I find that drip tip?? Looks great on the Lancia.

 

[inswva]

Lancia ordered... love discounted stuff out of the US warehouse!

 

[jbarrick]

I have the Flash-e and the flavor is muted, but that maybe my build. I am going to unload it. I love the lemo I can put my sloppy build in it and still get a great vape.

Oh me too! I used to always want that set up .. I keep hesitating out of fear that it will be just another good idea, and will never get used Still tempted though ... Also meant to check to see if their full size Kayfun glass tank will fit the KF4. I have one from late summer, need to find it and try it.

Oh I got that drip tip from FT over the summer .. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1744101

As everyone else on thread mentioned, muted flavor. Its my first build so I'm going to try at least one more time before I make that my final opinion of the atomizer. As others have said its easy to take off the bottom portion to adjust the wick and coil so finding a workable build should be painless.

@roxynoodle .. I ordered the Origen mech Now I am thinking that I need the Chip mod for the V2

I picked up that 7pc pack of Vapelyfe drip tips from new arrivals too

I need to look at the Chip mod.

I'm about to throw my Yosen Zero through the window. That 510 is just terrible. I know I just need to get with my machinist friend to drill and tap for me, but I'm really frustrated right now.

Uh oh .. what happened to it? I thought your replacement was good? It might FDV time

Go to Footoon's FB and check it out, its simple but nice.

So it this just me are is FC padding ther invoice for FREE shipping with a 2 dollar tracking charge ? Could not find a way to get it off the invoice. Even went as far as sending an e-mail which got ignored. Sorry if this has been posted before. I know freinds that love FC for me i have had nothing but problems on shipping. I love FC pricing but CS at lest for me had been very poor on the 3 or 4 orders i placed with them. One order i never got, don't think it was ever sent i always got a contact us message but after 4 or 5 message to them i just ended giving up on the order was a group buy. They have always been good about refunds just they cant seem to get gear to my house. This padding the invoice am not very happy with either. i don't need tracking.

The pin keeps screwing itself in! Everytime I vape, I have to unscrew my atty, then screw it back in. If I don't, the resistance goes way up. Its not the atty.
