I get it now (I'm a little slow), I was just told that my sig was too big and to fix it, so I deleted it, then I realized that ECF had their own banner for a sig.

Bit late on this, but If you decide to get wire from fasttech, or anywhere really besides temco, give it a good alcohol wash.
A freind of mine got a spool of 316L wire from there (which was obviously not 316L but that's another story) gave some to me with some new cotton, it was so dirty it left residue on the cotton, just like the unkamen SS 430, it needs to be cleaned up real good with alcohol before use.

Not really sure what you are saying. Don't get me wrong, I really like the FSK and believe Hohmtech is basically a good company that produces a very capable chip that sports awesome technology that has awesome capabilities and performs on a level that no other chip can and that just gets better with every firmware update issued. It has the potential to rule the marketplace when perfected, but it relies on a user to define its reality, and as such it is just not quite ready for and too advanced for newbies.
It is not complicated to use by design, but it operates differently than any other chip and is a confusing adjustment for many new users. No serious reviewer (like DJLSB Vapes) has bothered to put out an instructional video on its use because I'm not sure they truly understand it themselves or know how to best express the concept of its use. You cannot just tell someone to set it to this and it will work as it is operation just too abstract a concept to easily get across. I know you understand that now, but when you first got it there was no way to tell you that.
Hohmtech wants to follow Evolv's model, but first they need to realize they need to properly support what they have already created. Their Customer Service Reps cannot get frustrated and just not care any more. They cannot produce a mod that works a certain way and not adequately explain its proper use to its customers. Their Service/Warranty Center cannot deny DOA/Defect repair/replacement/refund for new mods that were purchased "On Sale". That is just not right.
I read on the other forum all these rants about Evolv customer service being horrible, but Evolv has always supported their equipment and not only provides repair/replacement at no cost (without service fees) very often when the fault is not their own, they literally repair the deficiencies the chinese mod makers that use their chips have caused at no cost to their customers when those chinese manufacturers ignore those customers. Hohmtech by comparison is telling Mongo74 to throw his mod in the trash because they have voided his warranty. Big f-ing difference.
If Hohmtech wants to follow Evolv's model, they have to change their ways and stop shooting their reputation in the foot by trying to save a nickle denying support to their customers. Very bad business model that must change before they can realize their aspirations.

So I emailed Cloudy and was offered two FSK boards for $85 shipped.
Install one in the G2, and I've been considering buying a block of stab wood, or a prefabbed stab wood box and dropping one in there.
I probably will go this route.

Let me be clear, I'm NOT talking about mongo, the way he has been treated by Hohmtech/Vaporcube is just plain wrong, and I hope he nails their .... to the wall on this if they don't make things right.
I'm just blowing off some pent up steam is all.
You have just articulated my thoughts Perfectly, I wish I could have done that myself.

Good mongo. You're situation just didn't sit real good with me either. Maybe I'll just buy from Cloudy on my next order, they sound like Stand Up People.
Glad you found some level of satisfaction in this matter. Very nice of Cloudy to step up and help you out.
Hohmtech could learn something from their example.
Just to be fair, I've also heard from a number of users who had no problem with contact or warranty work being done on Hohmtech devices.
Personally I've had two occasions of direct email contact with Hohmtech and VaporCube, one to each, outside of sales. The first to HT for tech support on firmware updates, the second to VC to discuss a battery door issue. Both were within the last 6 weeks and both replied within 24 hours and I was satisfied with the results.

I got that. Wasn't trying to tell you you were wrong because I get what you were trying to say.
Sorry, I guess I was blowing off a head of steam as well as that type of thing by a manufacturer gets my dander up. I hate that we as a community have become accustomed to seeking solutions like Mong74 just did rather than have a company stand up & do the right thing. Feels like it is the norm in the vaping industry rather than the exception and that just galls the crap out of me.
Sorry all for my ranting posts!
I've bought plenty of Geek Vape wire from there and it's good and clean. Fasttech customer service has been bad of late though so I can't recommend them anymore.

It doesn't help that Hohmtech, Ben particularly of course, spouts lots of pseudoscientific bs when talking about the chip.

IMO, nothing wrong with consumer advocacy.
Now I really gotta go deal with that 8" of new snow, lol.

I only contacted them with a pre-purchase inquiry about the Slice battery door and paint issues. They replied within 36 hours and told me there were 4 manufacturing runs on slice with various improvements along the way, but refused to share serial number differentiation information on how to tell a unit was from which of the four manufacturing runs so I would know what issues to expect.
My reply for followup information on clarifications was ignored and never answered to date. Almost didn't buy Slice as a result, but in the end I took a leap of faith & I'm glad I did. I'm sure If I pressed the issue, I would hear some crap about the system blocking my reply because they marked the inquiry ticket closed and it wasn't their fault. I know with the Evolv system, even if a support ticket is marked closed, if you reply, the ticket is reopened and sent to the back of the cue.
As a result, I have mixed, but very strong feelings about my own experience with their support system.

Yeah he is not a very good teacher. He of course does not understand that at all and is just happy to see himself on the videos dazzling his audience with his superior intellect.
Yeah. I'm particularly allergic by such bs as I'm too used to it from my former profession (in a completely different field than electronics, but I've learnt to spot bs, and Ben makes it very easy to spot).

Probably that company cleans theirs a bit better, still not a bad idea to scrub it down with alcohol before use.
The real problem is composition, I only use 430, but there are so many companies selling it that few times I've used 316L from freinds has always been from different sources and most of the time inconsistent, and I'm using the TFR range from steam engine so it's obvious the composition is off.
Actually I think the most consistent one I tried was from lightning vapes.
