Fasttech Veterans

[dw117]

Something I posted a couple of weeks ago:



Today, I see Chefs have a small selection of the Molin Berry flavouring, and in small size bottles too. I'll be trying the Creamy Vanilla - pity there's none of the peach one, but perhaps they'll get more in time https://www.chefsvapour.co.uk/63-molin-berry

I also see that Inawerashop - the place that sells Molinberry, also has ready to use nicotine bases in all types at reasonable prices, and the shipping is very reasonable too. Molinberry, Inawera Shop, The Best E-Liquids, Flavours, Bases And Many More!

Plus, there's the place that sells Inawera: Flavouring, bases etc. Inawera Flavours - Inawera Flavors

I've ordered from "inawerashop" when they still stocked inawera products. I now use inawera.com to order direct.

Havent used the "inawera flavours" one. I wonder why there were so many different sites. It's normal for other sites to stock their concentrates but they were using the inawera name I guess to boost business.

By the way Trish I got some one on one rainbow sherbet top shelf from chefs, I remember you mentioning it as it's very strong you could use it so to have less pg. Anyway it's suggested mix is 1-5% so I made it up at 2% and it's way too strong, easily the strongest juice I've ever made. Can't really tell if the flavour is nice because it's so strong. Shall have to dilute it or just make a new one as I've heard diluting doesn't work so well once it's steeped a bit.

I noticed Kanger is now investigating fasttech. I guess they are going to try and find who supplies fasttech and cut them off. Think they would be able to actually keep fasttech from selling their stuff?

It's happened before with other companies. They tend to get a bit irate when FT sell things at below recommended retail. They normally come up with the line that FT are not an authorised distributor, or their selling fakes. There's always stuff like this going on in China

Right off to watch some TV and finish off getting those beds into the shed

Night all.

What sort of party do you do, if you think we will just sleep

I used the 3mm and the 2mm coilers Bob. 2mm for the Rose and the RM2, 3mm for the Lemo and the Kayfuns. I used screw hole number 2 for all the builds (the one for thicker wire). All my resistances were between 1.0 and 1.4 ohms depending on the topper

Cheers, gives me something to work with as I normally do 3mm, so 2 is for thick and 1 for thin - have to check that against the Coil Master.

I'd end up falling asleep mate, doing the same job over and over again. Can you imagine the chat at the dinner table.

"Have a good day at work ?"

"Yeah, it was great. I screwed in 29,446 screws today"

Oh dear, Ian, one mod only has 6 screws in it instead of 8, you'll get the sack tomorrow

Yes, saw that in another forum, I think the major Chinese players are starting to gang up on Cloners that clone authentic Chinese makes, think this may be the beginning of a turf war in Shenzen.

Have FT have ever sold Authentic Kanger stuff, those I have seen have all been "style".

Doesn't sound like the sort of party we'd want to go to Terry.

This may be the nail in the coffin for Cloupor - they were already in trouble after the fiasco of the T5, then the T6 & T8 turned out to be under-powered and lots of peeps decided to cancel their orders - again I have had no problems with the T8 and have just had a 2nd one ship from FT.

They were hoping that the Mini was going to be the saviour of the company, but with these problems it appears they could go out of business.

Latest talk on AAEC is that it could be the white/clear glue that is causing problems as someone took theirs apart and the glue was sticking to the back of the electronics cover (which it shouldn't do) and it was of a rubbery texture, most others I have seen the glue is much more harder, so it has been suggested to remove the glue from the cover and behind the board where the up/+ button is and then use sugru or super glue to seal the cover back on.

I certainly wouldn't be happy tinkering around with something like that - anyway, we shouldn't have to really.
I'll keep an eye on it - pity I haven't got a small lidded metal waste bin to spare - I'd keep it in there at night!

Inawera do some superb flavours at bargain prices Trisha - I've got quite a few of them. Their very, very concentrated, so a little goes a very long way. I've only ordered direct from them once, but they were really quick on shipping too. The times before when I got their concentrates, it was from UK sources.

Yes, I hear they're good for both flavour and price - interested in the Molinberry though ...have you used any of those? The vanilla sounds good from what has been said.

Well I watched the whole thing, was a little slow at times, but a good video. Also I get from it why so many are unemployed over here, everything is automated, very little is automated in China, all hands on assembly line. Don't know if I could sit at a job putting in the same 4 screws (or whatever) in hundereds of devices all day long, would be really boring.

When our second son was very small, I was only able to work an evening shift until he was old enough for nursery - I tried two repetitive factory jobs and left after 12 weeks! Soul destroying and mind numbing!

Absolutely not bob, in bed by 10 pm just doesn`t cut it for me.

EDIT: Plus he bloody burns everything to a cinder, especially bacon

An old biscuit tin with some holes punched in the lid will do the job trish, if you are really concerned

Not 100% sure bob, but didn`t they sell the authentic protanks ? God, how things have improved since them bloody things.

They sell both authentic and clones. Authentic items are listed as "Authentic" in the title. At least based on what I have read, they are legit. People say they come with good authenticity codes. FT doesn't really have much of a bargain on their SubTanks compared to authorized retailers after coupon codes though. Especially when considering the wait.

Well, I'm orf now, eyelids getting heavy.

Night bob ! If you were at Ians BBQ you would have been in bed hours ago

 

[Pictor]

Went to a new Iceland store today, that's just opened up in Rochdale, the Wife had a £5 discount voucher so we thought we'd check it out. Picked up some Venison steaks, Buffalo burgers, Kangaroo steaks, Ostrich steaks, Wild boar sausages, Shark steaks and a few other exotic ones to try. Bloody expensive, but I'm looking forward to trying something new

That wasn't Iceland! you took the wrong turn and ended up in the zoo!

I tell you what, I'll have a barbecue and everyone is invited. Not enough room to put you all up though, so I'll pop some beds in the shed outside

oh ....do you have spiders in there ...or worse!

I've ordered from "inawerashop" when they still stocked inawera products. I now use inawera.com to order direct.
Havent used the "inawera flavours" one. I wonder why there were so many different sites. It's normal for other sites to stock their concentrates but they were using the inawera name I guess to boost business.

The Inawerashop one used to sell Inawera ...but for some reason they dropped it and started stocking the Molinberry. I read through the thread on the Molinberry ones.

By the way Trish I got some one on one rainbow sherbet top shelf from chefs, I remember you mentioning it as it's very strong you could use it so to have less pg. Anyway it's suggested mix is 1-5% so I made it up at 2% and it's way too strong, easily the strongest juice I've ever made. Can't really tell if the flavour is nice because it's so strong. Shall have to dilute it or just make a new one as I've heard diluting doesn't work so well once it's steeped a bit.

I got the Sure Bert from Nicoticket - amazing flavour, and very powerful even as a ready to use, but I found the lime to much and had to stop using it ...lime is one of the flavours I can't use. Sadly, so is the apple in their Band Camp, and that's terrific - the worst part is, both were in Max VG! I bought around 100ml of each too. I think I may try the Band Camp at around 20% with custard to see if I can use that. Both have such good flavouring I'm sure they'll dilute well.
I've heard that vanilla (Frenilla for instance) would be good to dilute the Sure Bert (rainbow sherbet) with.
I've read Penguiness at NT's forum here explain how to dilute with plain VG or PG successfully - think it's a case of re-steeping and shaking the bottle thoroughly often. If I can find it I'll post a link to it. EDIT- found it: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...out-bag-sticky-situation-13.html#post14754821

Have FT have ever sold Authentic Kanger stuff, those I have seen have all been "style".

Yes, search 'authentic Kanger' at FT and a fair few coils and tanks etc. come up. I've had a few items.

Absolutely not bob, in bed by 10 pm just doesn`t cut it for me.

Duh! I like my bacon just crispy at the edges ...like fried eggs ...and now, I'm hungry - and I had bacon & egg sandwiches for lunch today too! :faceplam:

holes? why, does it need to breathe?

Seriously though, can't say I'm happy about the possibility. May be rare, but I'm really careful.

More and more cases seem to be getting posted on a number of forums.
One retailer has stated he has had 40% of all sales returned.Through one fault or another.Not just the combustion issues.
The main problem seems to be over the glue used,there are two used, an Amber coloured one that seems OK and a white one that when exposed to a naked flame,went on fire (a sample put in the flame of a cigarette lighter).
Another question asked,are there counterfeits on the market as when a few people have checked their codes,it states this code has already been used on ** occasions.

weirder and weirder, mine was checked and okay code - as it is still going okay I haven't opened mine up to check the glue problem - it could be another company who is cloning them to destroy Cloupor, but Cloupor's reaction to the problem doesn't help them any.

 

[Davantrac]

After seeing all the fuss about the Cloupor Mini I have now removed it from my wish list. It's been in there for weeks and I'm just glad I didn't buy it now.

 

[Brynglas]

but Cloupor's reaction to the problem doesn't help them any.

You're right Bob,in the link you posted from PB they admitted 40 or 50 incidents.Well, what is it?40 or 50.If they were taking the matter as seriously as they should,they should know the number exactly.But part of me thinks the reported incidents are probably higher than they have admitted and they judge 40/50 to be acceptable.When they have dispatched a 100K units.
