I understand how you feel but it is really not the fault of the Focalecig, the manufacturer simply cannot keep up with the demand and this is a hot release right now. Focalecig is not the only reseller of this Vapor Flask, and whenever there is a much anticipated Hot new release, there is restocking and long wait times ... its just the nature of the beast, welcome to China dear :)

The Kangxin Vapor Flask is the "it" Clone of the moment so this is all par for the course. ;-)
Haha,yeah i know all too well about the long wait from China,i was just venting a bit because i had just gotten the email from them.Although i wasn't aware that the one they have is the "it" to have,so hopefully it will be worth the wait.I'll give them credit,they did offer a refund or store credit if i didn't want to wait,but since they have the best price i've seen it for,i opted to wait it out,since the only other one i can find anywhere near their price is still coming from China,so it would still be after the holiday anyway and i don't even know if that one is the Kangxin or not,so i'm pretty well stuck waiting another month haha.

The 4nine is worth $7, I guess. Mine has stopped working again because the top switch contact keeps working itself out of the plastic retainer ring and loses contact with bottom part of the switch. It really is kind of a POS... or, at least mine is. But, again, it'll be a good guinea pig for patina projects.

edit: it does, however, kind of make me want an authentic now.

I have an authentic 4nine and I love it. Jvapes lounge has Tarsius mods on clearance right now. I picked up the Prime for $70. They are out of stock on the SS and Copper 4nine but I believe they have brass available for $80.

Edit: also the 4nine is discontinued so get them while you can. Although Tarsius will support it should something go wrong or you need parts...at least that's what they claim on their facebook page.

I totally understand hun :) Ever since the Kangxin Flask has been publicly confirmed as a good working Temperature Protected chip it was on like Donkey Kong :laugh: And with a device like this, that takes longer to produce than say a mech mod, the waits get long. There is a similar shortage and wait on the SX Zero clone as well and they are only being shipped in very small batches at a time.

Hopefully you will feel that it has been worth the wait, but I know that this is a true test of patience :facepalm:

I saw that a few weeks ago when VC ran a promotion about their sales .. I was actually looking at their little Nano quartz kit though, and I was just wondering today if they still had it.

Now seems to be a really good time for deals on authentics, I just went a little buck wild on err .... a couple of GP Paps mods :blush:

    I feel the pain, been waiting for mine now for 3 weeks, and not looking close to getting it yet even, mine not from focal, and not even a Kangxin, I want my flask, and I want it now :mad:

    I love the 4nine but my GP mods are favorite. I have an SS V3, Lux V3, and just got Piccolo V4 when it was released. Next on my list is the Paps X. If I hadn't owned a clone first I may never have bought an authentic GP.

    If you're interested in Eviva-T check out their Atermon mod too. I picked one up and really like it. Also, they plan to release a DNA head for it so you switch between mech and regulated.

    Aww boo .. you are not alone, my Kanger Subtank Mini and Nano that shipped on 1/29 is still no where to be found :( I got two shipments from Greece this week, and I still can't even get one from China :blink:

    Oh cool, you already got what I just got .. mostly. Got the SS V3/serialized 18500, and Lux V3 18350 tube and another V3 switch. What I initially wanted was the Lux V3 serialized, with extra SS V3 tube, but the SS V3 tubes alone were sold out :( ... so I did a swap and reverse. Came out a little cheaper this way by about $35 bucks.

    The Aqua V2 is going Hybrid on the Lux 350, and my Five Pawns KFL is going on the SS V3 with some after market accessories. I just received the OverOne from MMV, so that will go on the Poldiac. :)

    I was gonna do SnP SS Edition, but I don't like the caps on that, and prefer the look of the caps of the 23mm SnP but that diameter is all wrong for what I was trying to accomplish ... And this all started with a Taifun GT V1 with two Hysterics quartz Nano kits that I lost out on in the classies :laugh: I needed some sort of redemption, and actually glad it turned out this way. :banana:

    About 10 days ago or so a bunch of people here were suggesting Lenola Cream from Kite in Cloud. My 60ml bottle finally came in today and FOOB it's pretty amazing. I can't wait to see how good it might get after it ages for a couple of weeks. It reminds me of some of the banana flavors from Carpe Diem Vapor. Similar smooth creamy mouth feel. I may have to bust out my well steeped CDV Bananas in Pajamas after I finish this tank of Lenola Cream and let the rest age for a week. I'm glad I sprang for a 60ml bottle. Whoever suggested it has my thanks.

    So thinking of diving into a 26650 mod. Any suggestions? I see the kingpin will be on sale next week at FC, might give it a go.
    the only 26650 mods I have had were the big nasty and the hades. Was not too impressed with either. In all fairness I got the first run of the big nasty so I think it had been upgraded several times after the original. But the hades just did not do it for me. Too much voltage drop.

    How about the 26650 Stingray X that's going on sale in a few days for $14? That one looks like a great deal, might even be an SXK. Maybe Ms. Nikki knows.
