Looks like they're cranking them out at Kangxin. Note both the brass on the top row and copper on the bottom rows
I ordered one from focalcig a week ago and still says collecting items. I hope it doesn't take forever to receive.
Only thing I can say that isn't great about the kangxin is the finish isnt the best
That's really it

A vinyl/Dinoc wrap could fix that. Might order a Jwrap for my black one if I'm unhappy with the finish, though USB cutout won't line up since the Kangxin has it a fair bit higher on the body.
Went with the black Kangxin because I didn't like the "satin" look of the silver in the pics, though if I was ordering a real VF the brushed silver would be my first choice of color, followed by the brushed gunmetal, with black anodized a distant third, just to avoid the inevitable dings and nicks that a black aluminum case will show more of.

Appreciate the suggestion but it doesn't bother me much. At this price I don't feel the need for a wrap
I ordered mine on Thursday from 3Fvapes after reading this forum and getting all the feed back! I am glad this one is here. I ordered on Thursday and got the shipping notice this morning. I think I'm going to be in that "random selection" bunch, we'll see.
I ordered black as well. What's everyone's expercience with shipping time? I've seen various.

Looks like about a week is normal from 3FVape to the US, though customs or weather can throw a wrench in that pretty quick.
Once EMS has it, it usually doesn't take long to get to the US, then it's up to the USPS.
Mine was ordered on Tuesday but right after business hours in Shenzhen so that added a day. It shipped at end of the business day on Friday Shenzhen time and as of right now it's in the air and out of China according to EMS. Crossing my fingers, but with some luck I'll have it before next Friday.

Ordered mine Jan. 19 and received on Jan.31. Still using my original nickel coil 5 rewicks later. Here is the tracking notices I got from 17track USPS list:

Yeah I plan to wrap the Kangxin 50W when it gets here, I have a silver one coming. I will never wrap the SXK silver Flask though, that finish is superb feeling. In a perfect world Kangxin would source the body from SXK with the chip cradle, and use their chip .. Then we would possibly have a Flask clone that is genuinely better then the authentic.
Used a V4 Fatdaddy low profile on a Hana enclosure that I used in conjunction with a genuine DNA 40 - temp control is working perfectly with it.
Thanks Croak and Chunky! It's showing on 17track not found but I do have the tracking number. I guess I need to relax, take a deep breath and WAIT!
I actually ordered the night of Jan. 15 a Thursday and 3Fvape didn't process my order until Monday the 19th. 8P But ordering through these retail outfits saves the shipping costs a distributor will charge for sampling one item.
Sweet. I have one on the way. I'm excited about it. Unfortunately the last time I soldered was ~8-9 years ago, so I've lined up someone to maybe do it for me.
It's the low profile - doesn't look like it in the photo but it"s only 1 mm thick.
Been a lurker on ECF for a while, but didn't make an account until tonight, and I just finally made it out of Post Jail.
I'm ordering the VF dna40 from 3fvapes WITH the USB charging thanks to the wonderful info you have all provided on it, and was wondering how important it is I use the Sony cells in it.
I currently have a pair of Sammy 20R's I rotate in and out of my nemesis mech mod (using a stor-a-cell caddy to carry the spares with me) and was wondering if this would be sufficient.I do plan on eventually ordering a second pair of batteries to rotate in and out, as I am of the type that would rather charge my batteries in my Xtar charger, and carry them at-the-ready.
Also, are there any holsters or wraps we know to fit this 3F vapor flask?
Thanks in advance!
