Right, created my FT account, I've not bought from them before. This is exciting! Could be dangerous though

Dont use the singapore post but do upgrade to the other one that costs a dollar

It takes about 3 days for them to process and pack it, then another 9 or so to get to the UK...then 3 more to get to you...roughly

I think they said expect 5-6 extra days wait time for the HK recorded with the current checks thete doing so you could be better off with Singapore

Ahh, ok! I'm not fussed about speed really, is one more reliable than the other?

Got this earlier today as stated in the Vape Mail thread. I took it to bits so I could familiarize myself with all the little bits. It breaks down into many different pieces roughly 8 but more like 10 once you remove the airflow ring and the bottom button ring...It could be more

So after a bit of faffing and moving the adjustable pins up and down, I finally got it to fire. I ended up recoiling my Cyclone so that I could get a better vape and boy a recoil was what I needed.

The mod is heavy, it doesn't feel like "cheap shit". The threads are actually really good...get some of that Nolax? on them and they'd be like butter.

Im not a fan of the locking ring for the firing pin, I end up undoing the entire bottom part if I try to lock it...this probably will take some getting used to. But it does what it is supposed to do when I get it right.

The bottom fire button is as easy as the real thing (yes I KNOW) it doesnt take much at all to get this to fire and I have accidentally done it a few times while just holding it today.

The 510 connection could be a little more robust. There is some play in the atty if you don't get it down all the way. But once it is secure, it's fine, no play at all.

Overall, I am glad I bought this clone...Would I buy the real thing? Yep you betchya, especially if I ever miraculously managed to get the funds and then could justify it over something for the kids instead.

However! Because there are so many bits and bobs, the clone or the real thing might be frustrating to a newish user who's not familiar with mech mods or all the bits and what they are for.

I also noticed that the battery sits on bare metal on the bottom firing button internally. This could be a problem if your battery doesnt have an overlapping skin to prevent direct metal to metal contact. So deffo make sure you keep an eye on the plastic wrap of your batteries. I am looking at getting some vinyl cut out to sit on this metal ring that the battery rests on, just to make sure theres not going to be a short in the future.

Over all, for being a clone, this is a good one. The weight and solidity of the entire mod is reassuring...it also just looks really nice. My Thing 1 says it looks weird and the dragon face is kinda cool I reassured him that if I ever were involved in an altercation this mod or the Vamo would suffice as protection


Remember folks, I hate the name stealing...This would have made me happier if it were called anything aside from the Chi You...but if you want to get REALLY technical... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_You <-- was a chinese tribal leader...and the dragon emblem is well known in Asian cultures as being a protector....and the original was made by a Korean...so it would have been better called the Yong (Korean for Dragon) Mod originally.... Chi You is quite suitable for a chinese clone though

PS if youve never had korean food...look up some recipes... Better than Chinese food IMO!

Im a big fan of Kimchi AND dried grilled squid

nice review Meg .. thnx!

Not sure on that one I have always used Singapore

Plumped for the ordinary registered in the end, it said highly recommended although that usually means it's better for them

I don't mind as long as it gets here!

I think ordinary registered is Singapore if you mean the default option.
