Focalecig chat...Part 2

I'm sure once they make the lite version it will be just as good, if not better. they will probably combine a lot of the superfluous parts, but yea

Roxy : please tell me that if you're making mods you're not making them out of Hammond enclosures. If you are, please tell me you're at least grinding/sanding them flat. that lean is unbearable

Wood . I am aware of the horrid Hammond slant. I want my own design and love carpentry.

 

[Pclarity]

Hello, peeps!

I'm going to try not to focus on upcoming tests, etc, and to concentrate on positive things instead. I'm about to get started on my own mods. I'm working out how I want to do the battery as those plastic sleds are pretty cheesy.

Good for you Roxy! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

So I got three of the atty's I ordered today. Really liking the looks of the Veritas. I used a Coiler Master to make a couple coils for it, and one burnt out as I was dry firing to test it. Hmmph. I love this Coiler master however, I'm finding that the coils it makes run very hot. I also kind of wish they'd labeled the different sizes. Not a big, mostly an annoyance.

Not sure if it's something I'm doing. I'm used to much tighter (tensioned) coils. Anywho, I'll build it again this weekend. Vapeporn this weekend when the Cloupor Mini comes in.

Cloupor Mini 30W in new arrivrals on focal this morning, tempting

$42.38 Authentic Cloupor Mini 30W Variable Wattage / Voltage VW VV APV Box Mod - Silver

I WISH they had these a week ago. I wanted to order one from FC but they didn't have them yet. I ended up ordering from GB. Was $32.23 with insurance (but no tracking). The deal was too good to pass up. I've been a mechanical mod user for a long time but these small 30w boxes are sending my mechs into retirement.

Yes hun, they do have logos I will post pics when it arrives, I just checked my tracking and it sys that it was just picked up in HK today I had hoped I would have it by Friday, but its looking like Monday based on tracking.

Monday is a USPS Holiday, MLK Day.

Monday is a USPS Holiday, MLK Day.

In Alabama it is Robert E. Lee Day, a holiday marking the birth date of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, observed each year on January 19, Lee's birthday.[1] Because he was a Confederate general, it is mainly celebrated in the Southern United States, particularly Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi.[2] Due to its time of year, it is sometimes associated with Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

What? Well does DHL observe this flipping holiday? Its being delivered DHL ... sigh

 

[Nikkita6]

Comparison pics of the SMOK M22 and the Kamry 20 (23W) .. The M22 is thinner, slightly taller, and lighter. The Kamry has a more substantial feel to it ( stainless steel vs aluminum?). Both have spring loaded 510's and usb charge ports on the bottom with built in battery .. that is all I got right now I have decided that I review these together side by side.

You should be good with DHL

DHL does not provide any pickup or delivery services on certain holidays depending on the country. DHL observes the following holidays in the US:

Memorial Day - May 26, 2014
Independence Day - July 4, 2014
Labor Day - September 1, 2014
Thanksgiving Day - November, 27, 2014
Christmas Day - December 25, 2014
New Year's Day - January 1, 2015

Didn't find 2015, but it looks they only observe 6 holidays a year, and MLK is not one of them, so you should be good.

 

[inswva]

Wow... the Kamry looks downright chunky next to the M22. Looking forward to your review!

 

[Pclarity]

So this Veritas is ... Wow.
Wasn't expecting so much air I love it. Right up there with my Hobo ( trying out the V2 Hobo I got today later). It would surpass the N22 except that has a better juice well. I will say it was a big ole pita to build. The post holes and screws on this thing are ginormous. Obvs this is a cloud chaser. I'm pleased regardless. I like an airy draw and the flavor is commensurate with my other cloudy atty's. Well done.

The tugboat surprised me. I got it to tease a friend who has one. He likes the tight draw. I like the fact that it's black I was surprised to find the draw tolerable. I still think it's cute, and it's got a deep enough well for me to take it out and about.

I built the Veritas kinda high at 1.2ohms. 10 wraps on the Coiler Master w 3mm ID. Think I'm gonna keep it on the iStick for taking with me to test taste juices with my buds or at the Vape shops around town. It's def gave me a headache dripping 3mg wide open. I have it on the single coil opening now even though I'm running dual coils. Now to see how long it lasts.

In other news, I pulled the trigger on the Tobeco Aqua out of the U.S. Warehouse. The Silverplay pushed me into a Kayfun frenzy so I've also got the Infinite Kayfun Lite Plus V2 coming ... I swear I thought I was done. Now to find the perfect juice to fill up all these tanks...

I'm thinking you are probably a bad influence! I really didn't buy anything until I came into this thread and started reading your posts.

I'll be reviewing the Marquis in the near future if you need a nudge for that one. Supposed to be a more Veritas-y Veritas.

How do I get the blame nod when Ms. Nikki is pimping mods I'm trying not to even look at. At least I'm sticking to atty's?

the Marquis has been regularly catching my eye over the last week or so. I'm curious to know how you find it.

I still have a Plume Veil, a Big Dripper V2 (that one is pushing my patience button hard - I've almost bought the U.S. Warehouse v1 several times since I ordered just to get it here faster ), and a replacement N22 on the way. Well I would if they would finish collecting product which they've been doing for almost a full week now.

I need juice more than anything now lol. All these tanks need to be filled with something.

I'm just trying to make myself feel better... easier to blame someone else! Well, actually, it is pretty easy to blame Nikki.

Also, it may be a little payback after you blaming me for your stalking the new arrivals every day, lol.

The "official" Marquis clone review is probably about four weeks out. If you read Nikki's VC reviews, stay tuned on the same channel for mine.

[Nailz]

I've been eyeing the Marquis since it hit FC too, I should just pull the trigger on it, but it does look a bit plain, but it is the vape that counts doesn't it?

 

[Nikkita6]

Wow... the Kamry looks downright chunky next to the M22. Looking forward to your review!

And ya see, I was thinking that the M22 was a little on the anorexic side I like the size, dimensions, and hand feel of the Kamry better, but I like the flat 510 connection of the SMOK better. It should make a for a interesting "battle of the little China boxes" review

Hey .. this thread is all about equal opportunity scape goating ... don't fight it!

.. speaking of blame, I have to make a point to head over to your Five Pawns fanboi thread so I can talk juice with you boys .. After reading Drifter's comment/question asking what kind of build I was rocking with Gambit, I decided to put the Aqua back on the Mini and crank it up to 20W, and lo and behold .. the juice is now tasting more like apple pie, than just custard.

Regardless I do like the juice, didn't mind it tasting more like custard at 13.5W .. its yummy. I really lucked out scoring these at $10 a pop. Aren't you jealous?

and you know Nathan, I just realized that I am going to be sharing my Ecig Review page/link with you

I think it would look nice on either of your boxes hun I can't believe that my Darth Vaper has 3 REGULATED DEVICES NOW. What did I tell ya? Back when I had to nearly offer to throw in a kidney to get you to try a regulated box. Bet those mechs are seeing less and less play time
