Not surprising since you are such a well known disciple of the VW. We don't call you "Old set and forget" Ocelot for nothing.

Hmm, I'm not as clever as I thunk I was. Phileas Fogg was the main character in "Around the World in 80 Days".
You may be more clever than this Lion. That is nothing all that creditable, however. I did not pay attention to the last name....
OK, I just had to share this one. The K100 Empire clone from China has been pretty popular in Oz lately because of the quality and the price. I think just about every keen vaper now has one, has one on order, or has so many mechanicals they can't be bothered.
Apparently Kamry have sent out a letter claiming that the Fasttech products are not from them, but are inferior products.
I'm still rolling around on the floor. The company that knocked off the Empire mod is complaining that someone has knocked off their knockoff of the Empire mod. The truth is that they are probably coming out of the back door of their own factory.
You'll also notice that they are claiming a patent for the K100.
Huh?
It's not a US patent, or an Aussie Patent number, and China doesn't have patents.
ETA: Actually, ECF server has further compress that 20K file and made it almost unreadable. If people want to see what I have I'll have to stick it up on a hosting site or something.

Photobucket.
You gotta love how the Chinese ignore others copyrights and patents, but expect others to honor theirs.
In some cases, it's a price fixing thing.
See, Manufacturer A makes a product and insists that all vendors sell it a min-price X. If they sell below that price, they get black-balled. So vendor B decides that they want to compete in the market by price, so they form another company C, to buy the product. C sells it to B at cost and B sells it "below fixed-price".
When Manufacturer A figures it out (that they never sold to B)...they claim it's a fake. C keeps a few in "inventory" on sale at fixed price X to remain legit.
Or---
It's a fake to begin with. Then it's a patent issue.
Or so I hear. lol.

Eddard.. that was a wonderful compliment to Ocey 
Chelle.. no pressure but i have one of these and love it.. low maintenance and you can plop an evod or atty on it (it has both ego and 510 threading) i hope I'm saying that right. . I get confused with threading..
FT sells the kit but i didn't need the iclear attys so ended up purchasing from ivape.

Close, but no cigar...(I wonder if/when that term will completely fade from common use?) "Close only counts with hand grenades" (or "snooker" if you're one of those) makes much more sense. If one got closer to what would they get a cigar? Would they be a cigar? Did a capital "C" get lost over the years, the initial intent being an effort to emulate a person named Cigar? Close, but you're no Lady Gaga sort of thing? "Cigar" is also a racehorse who retired in 1996 as the leading money earner in Thoroughbred racing history, but I'm pretty sure the idiom predates him and wasn't a snarky comment to the horse that came in second. The phrase makes me think of carnival games, but why offer a cigar as a prize, since I imagine the challengers were suitors trying to win cuddly toys for their lady friends or competitive young boys? Oh wait! That's it! I guess BT was already on the historical scene, probably paying carnies to pass out cigars to 12-year-olds.
But I digress...well, actually, I don't. This is how my mind works. Someone must ponder, muse, expand upon and perhaps find interconnection between all the fleeting thoughts no one has time to contemplate anymore. I would practice Zen in this world if I could sit still long enough. My guppy attention span only applies to this dimension. In the parallels I am enlightened, a mad scientist, a scribe, and a seer with a Wendy House in a Bodhi tree. Sid makes a great writing desk, even without a raven.
So back to what some of you believe is real:
Phileas Fogg - Around the World in 80 Days Verne, Jules (1879) I never read the book, but loved the film. I hope to god I don't start singing the theme song again. It was stuck in my head for a month once. No Becky! I forbid your ear worms! I already know it by heart!
Phineas 'Finny': Incorrigible: A Separate Peace Knowles, John (1959). I remember reading it in high school and liking it, but I doubt I would now. A bit of sophomoric angst with an unreal resolution, don't you think? Which is easier, making teenagers depressed or shooting fish in a barrel? For boys' schools and accidents I prefer A Prayer for Owen Meany Irving, John (1989). Just as fantastical as Knowles's work, but presents itself more as an ironic morality play - the angst is exaggerated and humorous. There are no bears in it as I recall, or if so, not part of a story arc.
No, the little yet to be christened (paganed?) box is named for:
Phidias, or The Great Pheidias (in Ancient Greek, Φειδίας; c. 480 – 430 BC), a Greek sculptor, painter and architect, who lived in the 5th century BC, and is commonly regarded as one of the greatest of all sculptors of Classical Greece.
As fono explained:
He had me at Fibonacci. Now I'm thinking of balloons.

Where does that leave the Kamry Protank?
Heads up CatChi Ranters - and others on a quest. Secret coupon code from Exhale brings Siggie Z-mini to +/- $48.00 shipped

and now i am thinking it's name should be "Leeloo 'Mulitpass' Dallas" from the 5th element since fono said "Madonna of that kick .... 5th" (yes i know...that is how my mind works tho...and i should watch that movie now LOL)
That looks really familiar, I think I've seen it. I'll have to read the plot synopsis on IMDB.
And as for your prior name suggestion, Penelope crossed my mind of a second too, but that name's taken.

I have been thinking of trying to make some of these for me house. I think they would look rad hanging in one of the windows.
