yeah, probably want to fix that post, Nikkita is the one that recommended Focal in the first place, I have never heard from Nikkita or anyone else that they sell seconds.

and for what it's worth, I have bought a ton of non-ecig stuff from fasttech such as headlamps and batteries and never got a second on anything..

The FT ones are the B units.

Right behind you...
So im looking to buy a VF clone, probably going to put a genuine DNA 40 board in it. So really just buying the VF clone for the awesome looking enclosure. So where do you guys suggest ill find the most 1:1 looking VF

This one, if you're certain you're going to swap boards, as it has a nice sled for the board, buttons, 510 and USB, as well as being a quality housing.

Status in transit, does this mean that my flask is moving in China?

Edit. I used Google translate, the latter means : "International acceptance center has sent letters" :)

Vapers in USA are double-screwed, not only is everything dead in the water and frozen for another 8-9 days due to CNY, but even if your package was already at sea, it is gonna be stuck in port due to the Longshoreman's strike on the west coast of USA which will has such a backlog (and it's still not resolved) that will take a couple of weeks at minimum for things to be rolling well again (in the best case) :(

Hmm, I'm sure the strike has had ripple effects all the way into shipping via air from China.. Plus CNY. I recall seeing pictures of shipping centers with boxed goods piling into the streets last year.. Ahh well, maybe next month I'll see movement or ask for refund, or at the worst case scenario dispute with paypal. But yes, it's a huge mess.

Do you have link to that?
Also, With orders from 3fvapes, does they come in to mail Offices or to a carrier like DHL, who Call you and deliver att Your door, if you understand what I mean?
My 3Fvapes package came through USPS once it hit the States. This year many of my UPS packages came from USPS once they entered California. USPS has started what they call the last mile delivery service for third party shippers. It almost caught me. I like many people pulled out the land line phone service. I went one step further and took the Post Box down. It has worked great for one year with no junk mail :p But, this Dec. I had five packages being held down at the local POffice. They will hold a package 10 days and give you a box to carry all your packages with. I felt like I visiting the MayTag repairman when I went down there:laugh:

I'm willing to bet the Focal unit is the non-USB version, which sells for roughly the same price at 3FVape. Rumor (or rather, Nikkita) has it that Focal tends to get a lot of factory seconds.

Also, there's still that 5% discount code on the units from 3FVape good until the 19th, bringing the price down to $72.

I've never said that about Focal, in fact they are one of the few Chinese vendors that sells any confirmed brands and manufacturer direct... I did say it about FT however ... One of Focal's bosses is actually "brothers" with the boss over at Kangxin so they are not getting any seconds. FC also has several 10% off coupons constantly in rotatation .. not sure of the codes, but I am sure a google search will turn some up. :)

The first batch that FC got was the usb-less, now they currently stock is all usb .. not really by choice, that is what Kangxin sent them in their last shipment. Going forward I do not believe that Kangxin will continue to produce the version without USB like I have.

The best place to buy right now is 3Fvape or FC ... I think 3Fvape has gained some favor with Kangxin because they were selling their Flask when no one else would carry it. FC has the "bro" hook up .. but both companies will continue to go through phases of restocking however. This device cannot be churned out like a mechanical mod, and the demand is very high right now, and Kangxin has several customers outside of China. So whoever you order from patience is required.

Nikkita6 & Halfastep - do you both own the same exact unit that you both like?

Is Focal a good place to order it? - they seem to be at least $5 cheaper ($69) on the silver one I want than 3FVape ($74) and Fasttech is at $68

please update us on the best place to buy as far as Focal vs. 3FVape vs. Fasttech

here are the links for each one I am considering (are they all the same unit?)

Fasttech Vapor Flask V3 - $68


Focal Vapor Flask V3 - $69

3FVape Vapor Flask V3 - $74

3FVape is specifying a 5 day back order and resumes shipping on the 28th, so that equals shipping March 3

the other two vendors are stating shipping starting Feb 26 (Fasttech) and 27th (Focal) and are both cheaper!

I would go with Focal or 3Fvape yes ...

Still no updates on mine since the 9th.



Don't feel bad hun .. I am in the same boat with a completely unrelated shipment that was also last updated on Feb 9, and no further movement on mine either. Being that it was processed through Sort a week before shutdown, I thought I would have it by now ... no such luck :(

From this, it sure look like it`s some movement in China though :) Can someone explain for me what "left hand navigation" means?

If i decide to order a red VF from 3fvapes, should i be concerned about getting a 510 connector made out of brass or copper? i thought i read somewhere that the threads were prone to damage if made from one or the other of the materials. im not sure. But, i love my zna clone from wotofo and has been going strong for daily vaping since the end of october.
