The Aqua FX by Footoon - HD Slideshow

[michnig]

Why do some sites say back in stock and let you register and all that faff,and then when try and complete payment for the 7th time it says" items in your basket with 3 tiny stars next to it are not in stock".and it was the only bloody item in my basket.
Not playin anymore lol. Welcome back Fasttech.

Got mine yesterday - though tis possibly a 'clone' as apparently the 'clones' come with a spare 3ml SS tank and the 1.2 Ohm build installed. Having broken me only KST tank (thought i'd brought a spare, but didn't fit) i'm not too disappointed with that. The flavour and vapour production are good, and the top fill is easy - just as well as i'll need to use it a lot in 3ml mode as mentioned above.

The air control, on mine anyway, seems to allow either mouth or lung hits easily, and am interested to see how long the wick lasts, as i've had issues with nasty wicks on me KST mini, which i've assumed could be down to the 'authenticity' of the 'USP' PG i bought over here. Tastes fine but wick seems to go black much quicker than the same cotton did using my BP PG bought at home.

'Clone' or not, got to say i'm very happy with the Aqua FX - thanks to paulymeatballs for his usually quality slideshow

PS
Just to add - absolutely no spit back noticed - despite the vertical coil - which added to the other benefits, already noted, is definitely making this tank a Big Hit!
One of the reasons the coil is tucked away in that case was to combat this - so excellent design by Footoon

Waiting for my FT one to arrive. Im so glad Mr Meatballs resides here. Love his vids..

To everyone that has got the clone.....
The coil head threads are different from the original.
Diameter of threads are
Clone:- 13.87mm
Original:- 14.4mm

Got around to doing me first build - first thing to note with the 'suspected clone' the supplied coil rod doesn't fit into the ceramic bit - unlike in @eatmybb 's vid. Made the job a tad trickier - but i've had longer rewick and coil jobs with genesis and hot spots back in the day. Couldn't get the roll coils to clip in neatly - so went back to me 26G Kanthal - and used the supplied cotton. Th clips were a tad tricky - tip for the future - do it over a lipped tray or shoe box lid - just in case they fly off.

Deliberately coiled it using the spare ceramic and clips, so i could just swap them over - and came out at 1.2 for a fair comparison. Flavour's spot on, and possibly a bit more VP - so clone or no - tis a keeper. I'll probably take a punt on trying to get an original - but ordered a couple of the cheapest spare complete coil head units fa £2.60 each with the 1ohm coil - hoping that they'll fit the clone rather than the original for the time being too (if not still have a spare pre-made coil, ceramic and clips)

Great tank and the build will get easier - and with an original and the coil rod - easier still

Edit
A complete set - with 0.4 coil onboard is £5.50 - which probably is the genuine article - also sourced and ordered an 'Authentic' Fx too now.

I received an authentic yesterday. Filled it up with custard donut with the prebuilt coil and I've got to say it's a cracking vape.
I will have a go at putting an Ni build in it tonight. Looking at it I can't see it being too difficult.
All in all I'm very pleased with it. So much so I think I'll be buying another.

Looking good on me new Realeaux

Just to update
bought 3 complete heads for the Fx - 2 with 0.4 and 1 with a 1 ohm coil inside - and none of them fit the FX i bought.

This does kind of confirm what @eatmybb said about the complete heads not being available for the clone - none of the heads screw on to mine, due to the threads being slightly different, as noted on a previous post and on eatmybb's thread. Suggests that as suspected mine is a clone - and that i'll have 4 complete heads for my 'Authentic' FX when it arrives - pre-coil and just have them ready for when i fancy a change, or in case of emergency when out - so not a complete waste of money LoL

The FICS coils themselves do fit the clone though - ordered one just to check - as the coiling rod thing was too wide to fit into the supplied ceramic with mine - so wanted to check that the rest was interchangeable too.

The authentic has green O rings too digicig

[digicig]

Yep should have added that - the authentic has the same greeny/blue o-rings on the end of the head as around the tank - whereas the clone head has black ones.
Aside from the size difference the performance seems on a par though.
Hoping to have me 'Authentic' through before i go to Shenzhen - otherwise it will be sitting around for a month for me to get back.

OK - me Authentic Aqua FX arrived today

Can't add pics at the mo (or like or emoticons, aside from the old shotcuts) - biggest obvious differences noticed: The laser etching looks more professional, the mentioned matching o-ring on the head case, the Air Flow ring is a tad stiffer and the base tighter too (which is a good thing.

Aside from that - the vape is almost identical - almost although i'd give a slight edge to the authentic. That could be purely 'Placebo Effect', but i think that the threading is better, so it fits together more precisely, giving a slightly higher quality to the Shape of the Vape. Is it worth double the dollar? Maybe, if you like that higher quality SotV and the ability to buy a spare complete head or 2, allowing me to just swap heads like stock coils - instead of having to do a complete rebuild in situ. There have been a few occasions when i've put up with a decaying vape quality, rather than do a complete rebuild. The being able to just drop in a spare head and rebuild when i can be bothered is a major difference that this tank brings compared most tanks.

Add in the terrific flavour and 3 or 5ml tank options - the relative ease of the build (once you've got your head around it) and this has got to be a contender for my top 5 tanks - so far. First impressions can be somewhat incorrect - but it certainly has all the right ingredients

And the 'Inauthentic' version - is only a ickle behind - not just because of a slightly lower SotV - but also as there, as yet, are no complete spare head for it. You could always buy 2 for almost the same price and problem solved. And you can build a spare coil with the spare ceramic and clips and just drop that into the head - which is easier than a rebuild on the fly, but more hassle than just plug and play with the authentic. It does however, come with a spare SS 3ml tank - which will also fit the Authentic

I'm happy that having tried the 'clone' - even if by dodgy advertising - it encouraged me to source and buy 'The Real Deal'. Happier with the Authentic FX though and the clone will do for a night out on the town, travelling or anywhere it might get lost or broken, keeping the Authentic safe. And as the tanks are interchangeable, also have enough spares to keep me going
