Thing is, it got shipped out of 3FVape two weeks before the holiday, on the 7th.

Croak,

I feel your pain. Most of the stuff I buy from China spends most of the shipping time bouncing around towns in China that I can't even pronounce or spell. Then for me it ends up in California in something called ICS (I think) and sits there for at least a week.

It is cruel and unusual punishment for buy out of country. ;)

Update: I have off and on gotten the weak battery error which I thought was due to the fact that there was anodizing on the bottom threads. That was until I took the last set out to charge and noted that only one was drained. Hmmmm. So upon investigating tonight there is a screw post adjustment on the top of the battery compartment. I unscrewed them 1/2 turn each and the caps now snug up to the batteries w/o bottoming out on the threads. Prior to doing this I was able to tighten the caps so the point of stopping due to running out of threads, not compression of the battery. After doing this the device rocks like usual.

I "assume" they intended this to be used for button top batteries, but with the small adjustment they now work for my flat tops AND it saved me from buying a tap to clean the threads which I was about to do.

So...use button tops or adjust for your flat tops.

Next is to replace the 510. I have noticed that, since it is threaded, you will slowly thread it in while changing attys. So I am keeping a 1mm gap between the atty and the chassis, so when the atty bottoms out, I know it is been driven down...another trick that has kept this little guy rocking.

Still loving it and I would still buy another (I have one on order).

Interesting observation. I do have a pair of unused button-tops, when my order arrives, I'll give them a try before ordering another pair of flat-tops.

I'm waiting for my VF clone to arrive as well, I ordered from 3Fvape on the 7th it left the warehouse on the 8th and I've seen this message since the 12th
2015-02-12 09:29
Shenzhen, arrived at the processing center, from Shenzhen postal courier logistics company silver Tin Center Sales Office
2015-02-12 09:29
Shenzhen, left the treatment center and sent to USSFOF

I'm probably gonna be waiting another 2+ weeks before I see it, hoping it'll come sooner, this is actually the first mod I've ever purchased, got everything else (minus a few more RDA's to mess with) but no mod to put it on.

I'm hoping there's no problems with the clone. I really like the screen being on top, but spending 300+ on an authentic will hurt the wallet a bit though from what I hear the authentic supposedly has a few more features

No I have no idea how a single day turns into a two week holiday. :facepalm:
For those who have not dealt with CNY before, although in USA and some other countries, New Years is a single day, However, in China it is the main holiday time of the year, much like there is a "Holiday Season" in USA for a couple of weeks around Christmas where most everyone goes home to see their family and relatives and nothing much gets done in business for 2 weeks or so - but in China that 2 weeks of going home to where you grew up is from about Feb 13th to Feb 28th give or take.

Hasidic Jewish owned electronics and camera businesses in NYC and other cities have similar long shutdowns of 8 or 9 days at once, in both April for Passover and in late September for Succos (aka Sukkot). As a lifelong photographer and electronics geek, I figured this out real early! :ohmy:

Considering the output from China I hope the hundreds of millions Chinese have a great new year. Sometimes I wonder how spoilt us westerners are ;) Happy year of the goat to everyone!

I tried getting a Vaporflask TP from 3 different retailers in China ordered from Focalecig beginning of Feb maybe we just need to pay up and stop being so cheap hahaha!

Does anyone know who makes this clone I have ?
