Generic Ego Twist Batteries????

Ok guys so I'm looking to pick up an MVP and a couple off brand Ego Twist's from fasttech and was just curious as if these are decent little things? I think the 650 mah is going for like 11 bucks which isn't bad. I can expect the MVP to be awesome but was skeptical about the twists because I have always dealt with Genuine joyetech products. Anybody got any of these? I think they might be Chinese????? Not sure, but I also picked up a 50ml bottle of dekang vanilla from them for about 5 bucks. Not expecting that to be too good but for the price, it is worth a shot.

I have some generic ego twists from FT..they work fine..I have the 1300's twists (looks like the spinners) for $14 $14.27 EGO-C Twist 1300mAh Variable Voltage Rechargeable Battery - black / 3.2-4.8V at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and another 1100a twist for $9..I suggest U use Singapore Post (SG Post) for shipping now to avoid the backlog at Hong Kong Post and HK customs...FT will be closed Oct 1-6 for holiday..so plan ahead..

and yes Joytech is also made in China..and FT is just basically an ordering and warehouse, nota manufacturer..and their juices are good but let them steep for awhile when ya get em.. and there is a entire FT sub forums here to post in..social something its called..

I just recently heard that Fast Tech was having some shipping issues with customs or something and that right now isn't a good idea to order from them as it will be delayed for a while. I'd check into that before ordering, make sure they've resolved the problem.
It's not Fasttech shipping problem!

It is the HK Royal mail system checking for all battery shipments.

Please try to remember.

Cheers

They probably work decently. I am assuming you just want backups and a smaller set up to have with you. The generic egos should work just fine. Just remember that you are buying generic from China, meaning that sometimes they will not have the quality control of a company like Joyetech. Fasttech really is great with their customer service, so if something comes DOA or just does not work right, you can return it.

The main complaint that I have seen with Fasttech's generic egos is that the 1000+mah batteries don't last as long as something like a Spinner or Twist. Either way, most ego gear is cheap anyways and is not something you can plan on having for years with no issues.
