Vapor Flask V3 DNA40 Clone thread

[lenon]

The Efest 2500 mah batteries are LG HE2's but the 3100's are not they probably are Panasonic NCR18650A or NCR18650PF. I'm pretty sure they are the 2900's even though the mah doesn't quite match.

Ah, good to know. I was working from memory on that. Thanks for the correction.

The 3100 mah Efest's is an excellent choice with dual 18650's in the Flask....IMO

I agree. I get up every morning around 9, and start vaping. At midnight-ish when I go to bed, it's about half power, so I plug it in, sleep 8 hours, and it's fully charged in the morning. My Vaporshark gives up the ghost after about 8-9 hours.

Even w/o TP I think the vapor flask architecture is the best 2 x 18650 to come down the pike. That alone is a heavy enticement for me. I would opt for a non TP VF, but if I can have reliable TP added to the mix for almost the same price- why not? I'm still waiting but it's looking like there may be one pulling ahead.

is it ok to use lower amp batteries on VF?
i m thinking of getting LG HE4, but if i can use bigger Mah batteries with lower amp. i would love to use bigger mah batteries.

 

[cobalt327]

Using batteries having sufficient amp discharge rates to stay "safe" won't really buy you much more mAh than the (good) battery you're thinking about using, IMHO.

After promises to ship out my silver Kangxin VF3 clone with USB (same as 1659/1660 from 3FV) for two weeks and still no inventory received by Focalecig yet, I decided to cancel the order.

So what is now the VF clone to get? - the version with the stainless steel 510 ?

also, is there really now a Chinese clone with a genuine Evolv DNA40 board as was hinted about in an earlier post?

what is the consensus favorite VF clone model, and place to order as of March 31? (link please)

'Measure twice, cut once'!!!! Lol!

At least twice...LOL

 

[TheBloke]

Woohoo!

So that means they shipped it 25 hours after I ordered it! For a UK vendor that'd be a little slow, but I am extremely pleasantly surprised that 3F were that fast, especially as they didn't list it in their "24 hour shipping" category.

I got the shipping tracking number a few minutes later. Now of course the real challenge begins - will it go smoothly through customs? Will it even reach this country in a decent amount of time? Will it bounce back and forth between Luxembourg and Switzerland for no apparent reason?

Oh the fun of international shipping! (frankly, even national shipping is usually bad enough.)

Still, for the moment at least, I'm happy

Turnbuckles work well. They have both right and left handed threads in them. You can just throw out the center section.
Turnbuckles are those threaded devices used to pull two wires tight. Often used to square up sagging screen doors. I'm sure you have them in Portugal.

Rarely found in fine threaded condition though. Guess it doesn't matter after you squeeze them together so I can accept it could work.

This thread is moving fast!

I found a turnbuckle. Just had to go to a RC Hobby Shop. They guy didn't had any new ones in stock but removed an adjustable M3 link from a Traxxa Truck and sold it for a buck to me

Coils are now coming out great. Thx for the tip

It's advertised as having TC though, even if the voltage region of 4-11 is weird.

no mention of TC control in the specs, just in the page title. If the 4V minimum is true, this can't have TC. Minimum coil resistance 0.2 ohms?? The V2 version is absolutely not TC. Something is a bit odd!

Re FT 2227100 (https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...r-flask-v3-styled-50w-vw-variable-wattage-apv)
I think what is up here is they listed the details of the earlier model, the picture showing 1 watt as well as temp setting just doesn't jive with the specs listed.
I would guess that it has TP but I think I would hold off buying one till it gets straighten out. It looks pretty nice if it is ni200 capable.
Note the adjustable stainless steel 510, something the older model is lacking.
Also I figure that it is 40 watts and not the advertised 50 watts.

I think you must be right! As I said earlier, I know of one on-line retailer in uk who advertised these initially but now it looks like they have ripped out the guts and replaced with an evolv board (and added £50 to the price). I guess we will see. As you say, it does look like a nice unit if it all shakes out ok!

Mine shipped on the 15th, tracking said it left Beijing on 17th and it has still not arrived to me in Australia and it will be the 1st in an hour or so, i picked the express option $4 extra I think it was. I have no idea where it is but I've been hearing it can take up to 2 - 3 weeks, though Fasttech stuff via epacket usually gets to me in 7-10 days.

my experience was that it arrived long before the tracking was updated...Hope it gets there soon1

OK thanks for letting me know.

I have no idea how China to Australia compares to China to UK for shipping time. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2 - 3 weeks for most places in the world.

I'll remain quietly hopeful, of course - already been pleasantly surprised once!

Well, with no notice that it had even shipped, USPS updated my flask order. Went through Chicogo last night. A few more days and I will finally get to try TP. That's as long as it's not DOA.

So, it looks like there's a version 4 out. I found it on DHgate. they claim it's 40 watt temp controlled with a stainless steel, brass "floating" 510 pin

I'm in the process of confirming this... I also asked about the chip. if it's what they claim and the chip is solid it might be the one to get.... I would have posted a link but I'm on my phone and it's a pita, sorry. but, if you search "vapor flask v4" and go to the dhgate link you'll find it. $86 US, free shipping to the US and Canada
