Anyone here used fasttech.

[vince01]

fasttech have a box mod on sale that is listed as iP V2

they have not listed it as authentic

there is no pull tab in the battery compartment and shouldn't the model be ipv 2 ?

is this a ringer, what do you think ?

EDIT

They have now added the word style into the description - so more junk then

Okay so i am looking at getting some 28 gauge wire for my orchids, which awg is best to get guys ?

I thought awg was the gauge. I bought 28awg which if I remember right is 0.32mm wire. But I won't guarantee that lol.

 

[Bobw1951]

the 0.45mm wire build I did at 0.09 ohms would fire if I reduced the power from 40 watts, didn't experiment to see at what power it started to work but at 30W it did. But at that power it took ages to heat up enough so I ditched it. It was vapeable but the first one or two pulls wouldn't be upto temp and then only really worked if you chain vaped after that haha.

The first veritas build I got to work has been the best so far. I also managed to scratch some of the black stuff off the mod around the 510 connection by screwing down atomisers that have slightly jagged bases like the mephisto oh well you can't see it with an atomiser screwed on haha

I noticed that as well with the 0.09 build, it appears it has to be 0.1 to get the full 40w, and snap I've done exactly the same but it was the KFL+ v2 that caused mine, the 2 tiny post screws had come adrift.

Exactly, the main problem over here is that a lot of people confuse the metric system with the older imperial system, which America still uses, and until they and any other country that doesn't changes to the metric system we will carry on being confused

gauge is just a short way of saying AmericanWireGauge, the bigger the number the thinner the wire. (opposite of metric).

and 28g is 0.321mm, that's why if you buy 0.3mm it will sometimes say 28/29g, I use this Chart if I get confused

Vinny,cloudhousevapor have both 50 &60 watt versions.
The 50W is £68,don't know if that is a good deal but it doesn't seem too much to me,and i think you can be 100%,it will be authentic

Just received this from UKECS, considering they were made aware over a week ago

Hi everyone,

We were made aware of some claims made over the weekend that the VTC5 batteries we were selling were not genuine. We take these claims very seriously and so are investigating this matter presently.

What we are doing is verifying the authenticity of these claims, if we find that this is true, we will be conducting a full recall and refund for the VTC5 batteries that we recently sold.

As you know, Sony VTC5 batteries have become very difficult to source. We were sent these by one of our trusted suppliers, as such we will be investigating this matter fully.

We would never knowingly sell illegitimate products, this is a stance we have taken from our inception.

Please do contact us for further information, or if you have any other queries. We will have an update for you very soon.

Kind Regards,

M-Vapes have it for £64.95 inc P&P and are a very trusted vendor

Just finished my KFL+ that was on the DNA40, I had to cut the wick in order to remove it without damaging the coil and here are the results, this was vaped until absolutely dry, with a normal mod the rayon would have burnt, but as you can see there is plenty of gunk on the coil and the some gunk on the wick that was inside the coil, it did not affect the flavour at all:



EDIT:

and here's the same coil after dry burning ready for a new wick:



EDIT: Wicking problems: unlike with normal mods where you get dry hits if you have over wicked and the wick is not getting enough juice, with these, it just takes longer to get the flavour/clouds and you can feel there is not much heat - no dry hits, just found this out as I may have over wicked this last build, or it hasn't soaked through properly yet (I didn't pre soak the wick)

nice pics bob I really must get some of this rayon as I like it so much better than cotton just noticed nearly 1 year for me vaping now boxing day if I remember right

Cheers guys, what was confusing me was they have the 28 gauge at either 0.32 mm or 0.34, and i was wondering if there is a difference in performance.

Just enter "Cellucotton" on eBay and there are loads of suppliers, a few meters lasts a long time, or you could ask Ian to send you some, he got a full box of the stuff

The thicker the wire the more wraps you need to get the same resistance, thicker wire is easier to make coils with and you get better results BUT is not always easy to wrap around the tiny screws on a KFL+ (28g is okay, it's when you get to 25g and less [0.45mm or more] that you start to get problems)

It is better on RDAs which have post holes, also if you use a coil calculator like the steam-engine one, make sure you use mm rather than AWG for any wire made over here (AWG if bought from the USA or USA made) otherwise as in your 2 examples you would get the wrong conversion for the 0.34mm one and if you want the 28AWG then I would go for the 0.32mm 320 micron wire as that is the closest to 28AWG (1 micron difference).

Right, many thanks bob. So i will get some of the 0.32. I am going to get some of that ... cotton to try as well to see if there is any difference with that and the rayon.
I am mainly getting the thicker wire for my orchids, as you know they have post holes ! How do you rate the ... stuff bob ?

 

[terry w]

Does anyone know the true diameter of them little blue screwdrivers what normally arrive with a RTA ? It is them what i use to wrap my coils till my jig arrives, and i have been guessing they are about 2 mm, but would like to know for sure !

Just measured mine at 1.96mm. Hope that's close enough.

Cheers dave, i wasn`t far out with my guess then

I didn't get the ... cotton, what I got from them was the 100% pure cotton pads, to see the difference between them and the Muji Pads, the Muji are quite good, but I haven't tried the 100% stuff yet.

There has been some talk on AAEC about this and it looks like SM have lost the plot, made it difficult for cloners, but harder for normal people to use, Original Kayfun fanatics will buy this from SM but I doubt many others will.

It does look like a good vape bob, but at over 100 quid they can keep it It won`t be too long before fasttech have them !

Trisha, whats happening at cloud house ? I wanted to order some liquid, but the site is forever down
