Chalice III Style RDA $10.72

[Bad Ninja]

I had a problem with fastech a long time ago. I bought a mod and it was defective. It just ended up being a huge hassle. The emails alone went on for weeks. Yes, after a long fought battle they did replace it. The Challice's were under $10.00 a pice. And no, I don't have $20.00 to throw in the trash either. I see how that could sound arrogant, I didn't mean it as such. I just thought about and felt like, life's short, you have to pick your battles. I just wanted to forget it and move on. Not pursuing a refund was my loss. I know many people have had great experiences with fasttech, and it wasn't my intention to offend anyone.

No offense at all. I was just offering a solution.
I've only had one dud in about a hundred from FT and they took care of it within 48 hours and had a credit on my account.
That's better response time than most legit modders, and they didn't even ask for a return.

There's a simple 2 min fix for the airflow hole.
The loose posts however would definitely warrant a refund.
The original may be better, I'll never know because it's too expensive for me to drop that kinda loot on a 14mm dripper.

I'll never know either, to much for me also!

I got one of these from AC where the post came out instead of the screw. I held the post with pliers, unscrewed the screw, then screwed the post back in. I don't see any reason that would cause a short.

I also had to do the realigning the air hole thing, which I found much harder and annoying, personally. Even after all that, it won't thread all the way down on anything. It goes down part way and then spins in place. I don't even understand how that's physically possible, but anyways, I got it working on my cheap, plastic Smokeless Owl, albeit with quite a large gap.

These do seem to require a lot of work just to get them functioning, if at all, but I kind of like them, and I ordered both versions from FastTech. Hopefully at least one will work out, and or can be used as spare parts.

For a short time a year ago I bought a few of clones/counterfeits from FT. That was before I found out that there existed plenty of low cost authentics.

But not so for BF attys. So I couldn't resist getting two Chalices. Sadly both had to be trashed(afc alignment/posts). Opened a ticket with FT but there was so much back and forth that I finally gave up.

That's what I hate about ordering from those companies, you open a ticket, argue with them, then they want to give you credit instead of a refund. If I have to go through all that I want to take my money elsewhere, but they won't let you. It's enough to make me want to pull my hair out!

I got the clone from FT and found the hole mis-aligned as most have reported, machining was very nice, one post came unscrewed, but no problem just screwed it back into the deck and tightened with needle nose pliers, all reasonable fixes to me for 10usd vs 150usd.
