Focal ecig - Wow, super-fast delivery

[OneDay]

Normally with Chinese shopping I try to buy and forget, as typically my orders have taken about a month to arrive.

However - I placed an order with Focal on the afternoon of June 23rd. It was despatched on 24th and arrived this morning! I'm amazed and very happy

maybe from their german warehouse?

[Q]

I doubt it, if I remember correctly the German warehouse was only supplying non GB europe, in any case if you check the stock levels they currently have zero stock of everything

Focalecig are becoming VERY good at their delivery times, provided the items are in stock

Nope, came all the way from the far east

[Q]

I'm averaging 9-10 days from FC at the moment, except for the parcel that was put on the plane 21st June and hasn't landed yet

What route do you think they're taking Foclecig

[ronaldo]

my focal have always took forever but this order is very quick fastest ever my 2 kayfuns arrived this morning

[OneDay]

It's not actually Focal, they've always been pretty quick at despatch. It's the carriers / customs that have been slow previously

My kayfun arrived yesterday. only a couple of weeks. Glad I only got one though. One of the metal sections will not unscrew from the other, so no way to use the clear tank. And, for me, the draw is way too airy. Plus none of my drip tips fit.
All in all, it's worth the price I paid. But no more than that.

I have two, and they both unscrewed ok. Have you tried with good old marigolds? And, for me, the draw is way too airy. Even with the air control screw tightened? Plus none of my drip tips fit.

Was quite surprised to find a package waiting for me today from Focal - Kayfun ordered 22/06 - 10 days on a bog standard China Post seems pretty good going to me and way better than Fastech have managed (so far!)

Quite happy with the quality too, comes already built with a 1.7ohm coil and twin silica wicks - not for me as I'm down to around 1.2-1.4 with cotton but looks like it would work fine from the box if need be. All seems quite clean too but watch the edges - razor sharp in places on mine and will need a little wire wooling to stop me slicing my fingers up.

Mine was a bugger to get apart too but have had this on a number of things from China, rubber gloves did the trick for me on this occasion and didn't need to resort to trying freezing/heating different bits to shrink/grow. I strongly suspect that the biggest problem in getting it apart is the fairly thin wall thickness and squeezing the threads together when trying grip rather than tightness/interference on the threads.

Draw seems to adjust easily and have a good wide spread too (use the little hex key in the big hole on the side at the base).

All in all happy with the delivery, price, quality and little bag of spares - will update if I have any issues when built but don't foresee any.

Thank you for your support and sharing your experience with FocalEcig.
The logistic company we are cooperating offers us faster shipping method which is more expensive.
If they got too many packages, shipping speed would be slower.

I'm a dozy old git. I quite like the look of the all metal, so haven't tried the marigolds. But the draw is fine now - ta.
Coiled up with the aid of the pound shop specs, now I see what all the fuss is about.
On my steel launcher, the set up weighs as much as a small child. Worth every penny, and then some.
