Caved and got 2 kayfun V4's, one is the Robot (Robbot?) Tech. Was looking at sub ohm tanks, but don't want to dig out my MVP, or 134.:blink: The PV v. 2 can handle a .9 coil but that's about it before you get the error light. Not inclined to put the $ into the newer Provari, this one has handled being run over with the tractor so it's probably going to last a long time.
The Phantom sun ohm looks pretty good, but don't see anything like it on Focal, the new format they have kind of stumped me, lol!
So the waiting begins, not that bad cause I have other stuff coming, horse related, have another foal due sometime after November 5th, fall worming, front seal for my truck (ugh), have plenty of stuff to keep me occupied.
Focal has a 8% off coupon for their website snafu (FCNEW) I didn't see it actually added to my order, but, hey, whatcha going to do? Fantastic prices so no biggie.

Any word from Nikki?

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only person to run over a mod with a tractor.
If my mod ever gets ran over by a tractor,i will have bigger issues to worry about since my mod is almost always in my hand when i am at home:ohmy: haha.

How long is the shipping time for their china warehouse to the USA take in general?

I placed an order last week and I still only see "processing". I'm familiar with the month long waits with FastTech and wanted to try a new company out for that reason. Also, focalecig seems to have a more interesting (in my opinion) selection that FT does.

The fastest I got an order was 7 days. It was shipped immediately. My last two orders took 2.5-3 weeks, but I think both times one item wasn't in stock.

My Waidea flask with Taifun clone tank did that tractor thing last month. Stupidly I laid it for a moment on top of the rear tire. Co-worker happened to get on the tractor and back up without anyone realizing what was happening. I saw it laying on the ground, scarred, and my heart sank. I picked it up, but no juice on my hands. Pressed the button, saw the display light up, and heard a slight crackle. Vaped like nothing ever happened!

End result, a little sandpaper to knock down the roughness from the DEEP gouges in the aluminum. Still works great to this day. Both of them.

Now ^THAT^ is the kind of user experience that's good to know!:thumb:

Took about 8 days for my order to change from processing to shipped. Which is actually better than what I was getting with FastTech on average. Not by a lot but by a few days. If my order gets here in the next 7 days I'll have to say that focalecig has a new customer.

    Got my focal vapemail, took 9 days, so not too shabby.

    Got the the gmodz square mod with RBA, this is a 1:1 clone, it is one small heavy mech, and as hybrid, hits really well, finish is faultless and threading very good, atty takes a bit of practice to build on, as negative deck screws are on the bottom of the atty, just like the original, button is smooth and short throw, has no lock, but as airflow comes from the top of the atty, can lay it down with no leaking. Only did a simple 26 gauge 6 wraps 2.5mm rod, but really good flavor and vapor.

    Few pics lol

    Mine is not coming so quick
    Ordered 6th
    Shipped 15th
    Hit NY on 22nd
    Hit Flushing NY 24th (the Black Hole of NY)
    So no telling when it will make it down to Florida, but already 9 days from shipping & 18 days from order. :(

    Mine only sat in Flushing for 24 hours, only thing is it is now registered mail, so you have to sign for it, luckily I am off sick today anyway, so was home to sign for it.

    Oh I hate having to be home to sign for a package :-x I never know what time my mail man is running, could be anytime between 1pm and 5pm, depending on if he is in a hurry or goofing off that day. :facepalm:

    Checked my order yesterday (Wednesday), the tracking says " Destination Country: Unknown- Unable to Track Origin Country: Germany".
    Total weirdness, never had that happen when I ordered before? (but that was maybe 18 months ago?)
    Focal is using something called "17track.net". Never heard of it.
    6 days from ordering to shipping, sounds about right. Now the mess as to where it's going to travel. I don't think anything I ordered from them ever took the same route.:blink:
