I've been using FT omega and bagua clone for about 2 months.

Omega showing some wear and required significant tweek. Pro is the hot spring saved a hard short event. It works good but not quite ready for prime time.

The bagua only needed one tweek; I added a jam nut to make adjustable pin rock solid. It is high quality and still looks brand new. The switch is smooth. Hits hard every time. Threads reasonably smooth. Threads are strong. The 510 connector is very good and solid. Very good rattle free 18350 APV. I suspect it will last a very long time. Only cons are lock isn't reverse thread and can't adjust atty gap.

FT ChiYou in the mail.

I'd have to say the astro is very under rated, and it's not just dripping attys it's good for. Any genny style RBA like RSST, or any kayfun style RBA will work, as they have their own air holes on the side of the atty.
But the private v2 is definitely one of the best, I agree with that. Depends if people like the telescopic style that screws up/down so doesn't have a smooth profile...

I've got a brass King clone on order, and a stainless nemesis too.
I've been thinking about the new $27 chi you clone in stainless as well, but waiting to see if I actually get anything from previous orders first.

i could see it as being great for gennies, but i dont use those so i never even considered it.

I stalk FT several times a day, i remember the ammount of ecig stuff on the page and refresh it, if the number at the top of safari changes i look at the new stuff... They just added a magneto in black chrome... Looks good but the centerpin is not adjustable and theres no silver plating on the contacts... A no go for me..and the launcher looks cheap for some reason

Yes, compared to my Cronus, all these FT clones are thinner material. We get what we pay for. I just like to tinker with these cheapos.

The new one? sku 1508701 ?

Only reason I got a nemesis on order is apparently it is the only one that can fit a 18650 and a kick. Besides that, I don't care much for it, which is why I got the private v2, the astro, and the brass king first.

The chi you clone fits an 18650+kick if you so desire.

I personally think the $27 chi you from ft is badass. Almost no voltage drop (.01) and you can get the AIOS clone to make it a hybrid. And to me it looks Better than the nemmy and any telescopic device.

Well then its good i got both a ss and a brass mod... The galileo is SS with silver plated contacts

to be honest, I think SS is more maintenance because it's a fingerprint magnet, and I really like the tarnished look of brass that's why. I got silver plated contacts on my brass king, and although silver is supposed to be a better conductor than copper, I honestly don't think it's a big difference haha but yeah, SS does look nice for some mods though :)
