The temptation of the smokeless owl was too much for me. I spent more than that building my first bottom feeder. And it looks like a simple enough design that I could rebuild it if I have to. Now the waiting game begins.
Glad at least one of us isn't totally broke. :D Once you get it make sure to come back and let us know what you think. :thumb:

:D :D Never got the Mariachi thing before, but I could see them making some kind of musical instrument out of one. Luckily I have no problems with worm designs.

Did you see that they're carrying bottom feeders now? Always wondered about those. Good thing I'm broke so I'm not tempted. ;)
They are top-ten for worst ad IMO. I mean, what's with holding it like an analog??

You mean this one? $38.89-$39.50 Smokeless Owl Style E-Cigarette Starter Kit - Black
They should really make a bigger deal of stuff like that. No mention at all anywhere of it being a bottom feeder - not the title, not the description,...kinda when they quietly snuck in the temperature protection mods. :confused:
I'm even more broke than you, but what holds me back is the button being up on top.
I'm tempted to try a bottom feeder, always wanted to try one, wish they would of added a atty you can use with it too though.

Edit. OK just noticed it does come with one, that is tempting, have to wait though, as broke like everyone else it would seem :nah:
That Owl would be awesome for an inexpensive out and about set up, mowing the lawn, etc. I can't wait to hear about it. I need to save for the Nicoticket anniversary sale next month.
Darn that's not fair, Doris must have been eavesdropping. Guess what the Group buy is this week. :facepalm:

Check the USA site, only $24.50, ETA 18th. Quicker shipping than the group buy from China.

Well damn it, didn't even think of the US warehouse, may have to talk to Doris about switching over now, only a few bucks more :)

I feel my first FC USA warehouse order is imminent. Now I get to spend the next week agonizing over choosing black or white.

Anyone know what the included atomizer is? Besides the generic "Owl" name? Can't say I'm a big fan of the proprietary drip tip/cap piece but I'll make an exception for this.

I don't think so. I believe its an original design.
Good, no reason then not to get one.
Beign said there really aren't that many bottomfeeders to choose from.
Wondering though if it works with Kick 2...
Yes, 15 watts is a must for instances where too much vapor is just that.

So I recently ordered the Kayfun V4 clone on a Focal Ecig group buy, and that is neither here nor there....

My question, is that I paid $2 extra for airmail with tracking #, and paid via PayPal. I've never received an email from Focal in regards to the purchase other then notification from PayPal that money was sent. If I try to track my order through Focal using my email address and PayPal transaction ID, I get nothing. The page just hangs.

Is this normal? Truthfully, I only paid the $2 to make sure I received it this year...

...but you know a vaper's gots to have his tracking number! ;)

I'm still waiting on the group buy for the Black Oak mod. I suppose a couple hundred others are also waiting. But I'll wait. It'll eventually get here.

My last order was kind of like yours. I never even got a shipped email. But when I would check their web site they had the tracking number posted there. Try to find that order in your list and when it is shipped it seems to appear there. Then you can go to USPS and check their system with that number.

Focal doesn't seem to be the best at communication. It's more likes you pays your money and wait, guessing as to what's up over there.

    Did you create a account on focal using the same email as your paypal account? If not make a account, then should be able to go to your order in the accounts page and show your tracking number with the order.

    Yea I think I will want a different bottom fed atty, got any suggestions on some cheap ones, not looking to spend a lot like the reo ones.
    Don't know any cheap BF attys, but fatdaddyvapes sells a conversion kit which works on the Mephisto and Tobh.

    The resident bottom feeder expert is @inswva, maybe he will see this and enlighten us.

    Here's a little chintzy video on FatDaddy conversion kit:
