The Igo-L is a great dripper. I got mine from my local B&M, but I'd bet that they got it through fasttech from some of the conversations we've had.

I'm looking to get my first genny though and the Z-Atty clone got my attention. Besides the chrome plating, the performance seems to be solid and for $15 I won't cry if I prefer my Igo-L or W.
The Atty on fasttech is a very nice lookin rba! Its not chrome plated, its actually stainless steel. This is definitely going to be on my next purchase from fasttech for sure!

can someone help me with shipping? Im almost out of everything usable as far as atomizers go. I've got no silica or kanthal and I've got no more vivi heads. If I ordered 50 worth of atomizers from fasttech, would they get to my house within 10 days? If there is a way to pay for faster shipping, I might be able to pay that. I live on the east cost. Do you all trust FT's shipping enough to tell me that it'd be here within 10 days, or does the shipping sometimes take longer than that? If anyone could help I'd really appreciate the help and it'd help me a lot. Otherwise I'm going to have to just order kanthal and wick stateside which will end up costing me close to what I'd pay for some new precoiled attys from FT haha.

Every time I order from fast tech I opt for the first class option. It's usually no more than an extra dollar and it turns a 30 day ship into an 8 day ship, max.

On the other hand, $30 can get you about 100 feet of kanthal and about 20 feet of silica. I saw some 1.5, 2 and 3 mm silica on amazon earlier for about $20 for 30 feet. Kanthal can be found on ebay for $4-6 for 50-100 feet. If you order today, you should see it by Thursday/friday.

yeah I am trying to track down a good stateside website that carries some silica, mesh, and kanthal at a good price all in one website so that I wont have to pay shipping for multiple sites. But if I can 2 or 3 atomizers from FT tonight, and have them within 8 to 10 days, I may do that, because I'm broke.. And everything I own is.. somewhere. :p My room is a disaster right now. I can't even find some of my mods. So I might go with ordering some atomizers from fasttech and I'll use those till they gunk up and by then I'll have more $$ and a good site for silica/mesh/kanthal hopefully. Thanks for the tip man, I think I'll order at least one or two attys tnite.

I just got into the rebuildable scene and I'm looking for a good or at least decent rba/rda from Fasttech. So far, the best ones I've seen are the IGO-L clone $7.67 IGO-L Rebuildable Stainless Steel Dripping Atomizer - double heating wires / 1.6 and the cobra clone $7.46 Cobra Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizer - w/ hex wrench at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping . Can anyone give me suggestions or experiences with their rba's/rda's from Fasttech?

I have had my V5 for a couple of weeks now, and it is fantastic. As thrasher says, just open up the airhole to about 1.5 ml and use it single coil. I am also waiting for a trident,which looks awesome from stock, no modding needed, as the airflow is fully adjustable,with many different options.Trident dripper by Grand Vapor - YouTube

I have purchased a few things from FT, took about 10-11 days to get to me. Probably gonna order the V5 and a few drippers soon. About the wire like Thrasher said, I've ordered directly from TEMCo for all my Kanthal. It usually ships to me in a day or two (same state), but I can imagine it being more than a few days to the east coast. I always put my orders in early AM, they generally get processed/shipped sometimes same day. Wick on the other hand, well a $2 bag of cotton balls will probably last me forever :laugh:

Yeah i really like mesh because it lasts me so long. You really dont have to throw out mesh. You can just torch it if it has gunked up after 3 months. So mesh atomizers are really what I need to start investing in. I'm also experimenting with using raw cotton balls and also, I have some cotton string here that I haven't tried yet. Cotton works well but the amount of time it works is subjective to many variables. (Juice color, coil temp, ect) Cotton has been great but I do love me some silica for RDAs.

Thanks thrasher, I'm checking those sites out now. Lightning Vapes on ebay sounds like its exactly what I'm looking for. & I've heard of the 1st company but I lost the link so thanks for that. Perfect.
Thanks tantz, I figured FT shipping would take around 10-11 days. I guess it truly does.
Especially if ur on the E coast.

Tantz, have you read the reviews for the FT Trident clone? They didnt strike me as that great.
Apparently the O rings have the same problem a lot of FT clones have...
and the airflow hole set-up doesn't work right if I read correctly?

I think when I get some $$ I'm mostly interested in the FT Igo-L clones. They have great reviews.
I've seen a lot of people saying the Igo-L clones at FT are almost 100% identical to the original version.
The only difference I've read of is that the FT clones have hard plastic post insulators instead of soft.
Other than that, they have great reviews. The airhole is already a good size, which appeals to me.
The posts seem strong, theres tons of room for rebuilding, and you can easily do a dual coil, which I need to try!

I'm also very interested in their new I-Atty (aka ATTY) genesis atomizer. It looks good.
I've seen reviews for it and it sounds like a nice device. And right now FT has a good version.
Apparently there are 2 or 3 versions of this "Atty" that FT is selling.
There is the 1st version, which is garbage I've read. Its not sold anywhere anymore I guess.
They did a revamp, and now there are two versions of the revamped "ATTY"
1 of them has plexiglass tank with chrome plated brass for the metal material.
& 1 of them has pyrex glass, and chrome plated rough steel.
Fasttech has the latter from what I've read in the FT discussion forum. I'm interested in it!
I just wish I knew if you could buy replacement tanks for it.

Plumes, a lot of the FT clones are pretty good. I have an IGO L from a B&M shop here, and I am west coast (Cali), didn't mean to throw that off, but it should probably ship inside of the same time frame. USPS flights fly direct from HK - LAX. Not sure the route after that.

I'm not a fan of the Trident or its clones off looks alone. I prefer the basic L or W look or the Nimbus/Chimbus. There's a new Patriot RDA I've seen popping up but I havent found any details regarding release as of yet, looks just like the Nimbus but its USA made.

Probably about two days, my last order hit SF on the 12th and I got it the 13th, but I'm in CA.
Word! Fast tech was surprisingly fast to reach american soil. It only took 3 days to get to Cali from China. I also have the sentinel mod, igo-l, and the chimbus ordered but they haven't shipped it out yet. I think its going out tomorrow hopefully.

Anyone have a V5 and a ego? Would like to see pic of it.Thinking of getting one and cheap twist from FT for a back up set up

Here's a V5 on an ego, would probably look ok with a beauty ring. Just make sure you coil it properly for the ego's limited amp draw, and test for shorts of course.
