With all the glitchy little issues with some of these clones, I'm almost wishing I'd just gotten an authentic. We'll see how the two additional 4278000 do. The SXK is a disappointment, with its lousy block screws that don't capture and hold the wire.

I wouldn't mind buying the authentic if the didn't "bilk" you so much. $12 for a set of o-rings ? I'd rather quit vaping ....

oops, I checked again, and it's not $12 - more like $3.95, and probably better quality than FT. Hmmm ...

Not a stellar experience with my first FastTech order.

Clones were bad - smaller airflow (1.8 vs 2.2 mm), too small positive block and finally mislocated positive screws on both units that in my opinion rendered the units unusable.

Spare glass sections for KM3 (x5): one shattered, raw, unfinished and un-torched edges, some chipped edges and noticeably thinner walls than the ones that come with either the FT or my Tobeco clones. I wouldn't feel confident using them on a permanent basis. Too delicate and weak. Don't buy them. Cheap, but useless. Guess I'll keep them for emergency interim use as returning them is not worth the hassle.

Drip tips: 2 were ok, but the one I really wanted, a 2-piece Vapelyfe SS/Teflon hybrid, was missing 2 of 4 o-rings. Hope they'll just send me the o-rings. Probably also not worth the hassle of returning them.

I'm happy with some items. Spare ceramic tips for tweezers, 2 of 3 drip tips, silicone cases for mods and some atomizer stands were ok - great values, actually. KM3 accessory kit (o-rings, etc) is ok.

Don't think I'll be ordering any more FT generic clones. I'll probably stick with the "name-brand" clones.

Live and learn. :)

The one thing that keeps me ordering from FT is they have the best CS of any China outfit, they will request pictures. Open a ticket with the issues, they will take care of it. Missing stuff, broken stuff they will take care of it. Returns are fairly painless, just take a little time. You ship the return items to a Florida address, keep proof of postage cost, submit to them they refund that as well.

FT is not perfect, but they've always taken care of any issues I've had.

I give FT a lot of grief for how long it takes the items to arrive. Then again, China isn't just around the block either.
The Florida address and postage deal at least sounds like they are trying to do things right.
They certainly seem to have a more customer friendly customer service than even my own favorite U.S. juice mixer.
