hope they all arrive promptly.. am i alone at being peeved with the weeks delay between ordering and shipping?? i for one would appreciate HONEST stock level indications on the sales pages.. focal could get more business from me if i had any confidence in them actually stocking the kit they advertise.. as is this will be my last purchase from them. ok its only a week THIS time, but its been significantly longer in the past ..

it only takes one lie on the page to discredit the whole site imho

I'm not sure that Focal actually keep stock in for new items - I think their model is find a supplier, get orders and once they have enough, then get the product from supplier to send to buyer, they probably order more than they have orders for, hopefully to sell once the initial batch has been sent out, if they can get enough orders, they can then sometimes get a reduction in price which they pass on in the form of a group buy, which is what they did with the Owl squonker.

Thanks for the insight Bob, so its a not quite in time model then makes focal a very unattractive supplier, so in future i will gladly pay 1-2 usd more for a fasttech or even GB purchase in future,  i dont like buying vapour goods..

Personally, I prefer Focal, for some things, FT for their shipping options, but they quite often have things go to restocking causing delays, and have sworn I will never use the other one ever again, I think for this item Focal wins over FT.

Sorry robby misread your comment, thought you were waiting for it to be delivered, I know sometimes you get them sent faster so you can be the first to try them out 

Got my VaporShark VF today from Wembley with the Large Screen DNA40 in it - and it is very nice indeed - very similar to the Waidea clone but better quality and the VS rubberised finish.

How`s the bottle filling and changing in the flask Bob?

It's not a squonker robby just a normal VF but made by Vaporshark and a few squid cheaper than the original VFs

Looks good but vapes poorly  ooer thats not the best news..  have you tried contacting focal for operating instructions?

tho i just checked the focal ad page and there is no mention of a manual?

have you checked what happens when u press + and - together for a few secs  fire and + or fire and -
 the result of the keypreses may indicate the way the board operates??

Is this in normal or TC mode?

On some TC mods you have to make sure the temp is set to OFF for it to deliver in wattage mode.

Mine still isn`t shipped

Good idea might contact focalecig to see if they've got a manual

Ahh good point, need to have a proper play after tea

[robby]

If it is in TC mode (nickel coil) is the resistance reading on the mod near to what you would expect smarties ?
