So it`s almost 50% more than the one on Fastteech Yup. Although I think it's much less likely to be a pot-luck affair regarding quality given the vendor. And your looking at UK delivery timeliness (so at least a week and a bit quicker). Always good to balance your potions, I think. No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

Going by Focal`s published pics it is the 18650 one, bottom pic seems to match up for dimensions. The top one is the 18500 original Kato.

Hello AAEC vapers! We have checked this product. This item can be used by 18500 and 18650 battery. Guess why? Please look at this picture: There is an extra spring for this item. When you put the spring inside the tube, you can use 18500 battery on it. Our staff have tested and it works great. I will also add more information on our product information. Thank you for rasing the questions! Doris

Sorry Doris, but I think you are wrong.
This mod is an 18650 device, the spring is a spare spring, and nothing else!
No offence intended.

I didn't take it as offence. We have tested this item by 18500 battery with the spring, and it works great. We will test it again. If this is wrong, we will inform you guys. It is great to discuss products from you. We will confirm it again with the supplier.

My deepest apologies for your guys. This item we are selling is only applied by 18650 battery. We also put the wrong product information. For those who already purchase it and only wants 18500 version, please reach us. Sorry for the inconvenience it caused. We didn't mean to mislead you guys. Doris

Foclecig I think the big message here is if you could source the 18500 version ... ... then there would be a lot of grateful people who can not afford the original.

For the 18500 battery, we disassembled the bottom HERE and then put the extra spring into it. After that, we put the 18500 battery instead of 18650 battery and then vaped. Works good. But we need to ask for one more extra spring from the supplier. icon_shoppingm it is hard to convince you because the original version, i will ask them to record video when new batch arrives.
