Focalecig chat...Part 2

Some good new arrivals on FC this morning

Now they have the istick, also the vapor flask but it is the V1, think I will wait and hope to see the V2 pop up sometime soon, but am considering the IPV2, good price and I still have a $10 coupon, really tempted but might have to wait till after Xmas

I was looking at the flask's, I don't see a way to change the battery's. I see there is a charge port, must be it's like the istick? But in the description it lists it takes 18650's

My stuff will be here by tomorrow. Saturday at the latest. Woohoo!

Right... non-serviceable 18650s. And who knows what kind of crappy batteries are in that thing. I'd stay far, far away from this one. Also curious why they have two silver ones listed, both for the same price. Two different manufacturers I suppose? I'd be marginally interested in a VF V2 clone as a DNA40 swap candidate.

Black SRX is tempting... but, I'm thinking I need to ease back on the mod acquisitions. At the end of October I had three mods. I have nine now with six more on the way. I'm thinking 15 is probably a reasonable amount. Of course, 20 is a nice round number.

Self quote! Winning!

Well, that didn't last long. Just ordered mod #16. Found a deal I couldn't pass up and well, you know...

Got my iStick yesterday, man is this thing tiny! It looks nicely made but.... the 510 hole was drilled and tapped at a slight angle, when I screwed my fogger or dripper on it's tilted and there is a gap on one side at the bottom, this doesn't effect function but it's annoying. The micro usb charge connector does not line up with the hole milled in the base, because of this I couldn't use the cable that was sent with it, I have three others and found one that will fit but it's a very tight fit. So tight I'm worried either the cable end or the port connector might break eventually so that's something I'll have to fix by taking it apart. The instruction manual is useless so I went to their website only to find the same manual online, I had to watch youtube videos to figure out how it works and that's just not right. I still don't know what the amp limit is for charging, I'd like to use one of my bigger amp fast chargers but don't want to damage it so I'll have to slow charge off my computer to be safe.

Other then those issues I really like it, fit's nicely in my hand, it's stealthy for use in the public and should last a long time between charges. I used it for six hours yesterday on clearo's, the fogger and the plume and last night the battery icon finally came off full charge by one tiny notch. I got this one from Central Vapors for $22 shipped during the Black Friday sale and they threw in a free charge cable due to the over sales and wait time which makes up for the downfalls, would I pay $35 for one? No! Not until they have better quality control and supply a user manual that actually tells you how to use it.

My usb charging port is like this as well. If I put the flat side of the cable pressed against that part of the port, it will usually go right in. Otherwise, it was taking awhile sometimes to get it plugged in. Its a matter of finding where its off and plugging it in accordingly.

Nailz, did you notice the ipv2 is a clone?

The USB ports on mine were a little tight at first. Or, I should say, the usb plug has little bumps on it that make for a snug fit. It gets easier to plug in after a few goes.

1 amp for charging...

Anybody see the Cloupor Mini pre-sale VapingCheap announced for $29.99? From what i've casually read Cloupor chips have not been up to par lately but at this price i may just have to jump on one. Thoughts?

It showed up on the Cloupor Mini thread. The vendor is very questionable.

If its the same chip as in their Hana clone, it should be a good chip. Otherwise, they've sure mucked up all their others.

Okay, thanks. I really don't need another mod anyway.

 

[KTMRider]

Okay, thanks. I really don't need another mod anyway.

It's still an interesting mod. There's so many "Mini's" coming out that really aren't all that mini. The Cloupor is pretty small and with a magnetic back and 18650, it's one of the more interesting mods coming out. ETA is 1/10/15. There's a few pre-orders in the $50 range but I'm sure it'll drop after it's available.

Neither do I and yet I sure want more

Where did you get your Eviva-T? Seems most sites are out of stock or don't ship to the US. I sure hope they are going to make more.

I think it is one of the better looking minis but i was only interested for the $29.99 price. If it's $50 i'd rather do a DNA board swap on my Zero clone instead.

 

[inswva]

The Marquis RDA has apparently been cloned if the Alibaba listings are any indication. Sure would like to see that pop up at FC soon.

I agree. I'm reserving judgment until the reviews come out. Then I'll decide whether it's worth what the current price is.

I bought one from someone in the classies and ordered a second straight from Atmistique. I guess they are out of stock now. Maybe places will restock it after the holidays.

I have been looking for my first box mod. I was going to get the IPV mini but wasnt sure if it would be strong enough. The DNA 50 they have looks like it might be good but i cant find may reviews. Every thing i search takes me to the DNA 30. How does this preform and does it have good safeties like reverse battery protection?

I like the IPV mini for looks but im not sure if 30 watts will be enough. I want something that I wont just feel im out growing to fast.

I think i might get a orchid with it. They have a few v4 listed at different prices so im not really sure on what to get.

Last question is how is the shipping time if you order of the US warehouse page?

30w is plenty for 99% of vapers. If you're going to use a RBA, you'll be fine.

I've heard shipping from the US warehouse is less than a week.

you can order straight from the source. I have dealt with atmitique lots and Konstantinos is great to deal with! stand up guy good shipping times too.
