I've been using a 69 clone from fasttech for the past two weeks and it has quickly become my daily device. I use it with a kick+18500+aerotank. I had been using a Nemesis clone+kick for six months.

It is the most simple spinner/ego alternative I've found, offering (with a kick) vw and battery protection in a dependable, compact side button mod. I cleaned everything with alcohol and coated everything with No Ox ID and have not experienced a single misfire todate. I consider the build quality comparable to my hcigar Nemesis clone.

The sole problem I encountered was with the adjustable 510 contact because I didn't realize it was adjustable. It is the best affordable top side mod I've found todate, including the DaVapes Poldiac cone and sigelei #20. And the switch is simple and accessible.

The non-floating pin can be a put-off, like the Poldiac clone. I do prefer the 69's switch, as disassembling and cleaning the Poldiac or Sigelei is a major undertaking in comparison. The switch contacts seem to work better than the more complex ones in the Poldiac, which have to be in perfect alignment. I am going to experiment with replacing the switch spring with magnets as soon as I can measure the switch shaft diameter.

I think there is a hybrid kit for the 69.
