THANKS!! Could you plz post some comments on these?

And, how fast is shipping? Thanks Again!!
If in stock items, fasttech is as quick as almost any supplier in Schenzen(sp?)

I've gotten parcels from them within 8 days, but that really is dependant on how busy the airline is, and where they can Tetris in your package.

IDK I think all the Chinese sites are stepping up their game and making the oarsmen paddle faster... Seems like. They know their days are coming. Pretty darn fast compared to oh, a few years ago (or maybe I am just busier but... IDK.)

I think that might just be luck of the draw. I've had packages sit in Guang Dong for a week+ after leaving Shenzhen, but that could be a US customs delay also...

Ya I know, but if we all tried, by limiting it only to smok Nord coils, they MIGHT finally take some notice. Maybe at least it might be worth a shot.
i have nord (die few day ago) n many fail coil.
I have smok trinity, which leak out of the box but SMOK told me, leaking is standard issue and not under warranty cover, ask me to get new tank(pod) n try it out. unbelievable

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
Back in the day... the SMOK carto's were the bomb!
Since then, they have fallen to the bottom of the list.
I have gotten 3 Nord's, one died (the wife's).

I have extra pods which come with the great coils.. But even I knew when I got these things not to buy the replacement SMOK coils...

My husband bought a Smok Nord after I told him to avoid the brand,, after a month of light use it went into thermal runaway. Dont know why he thought I would give him bad advise,. Smh,,, he doesn't like Smok now,, go figure

I have 3 nords, with no complaints about the mod nor the coils. I run about 50ml of 30pg/70vg through the .6 ohm coils before they need replacing. Maybe I've just been lucky.
@dennism interested hearing how long (days, etc?) ya vape with the same coil over 50ml?

Smoktech advertising & marketing and all dealers depict the Smok Nord as ideal for any & all nicQuids regardless of VG/PG ratio or vaping style, hence FOUR different styles & oHm resistence of coils offered. How many people read a manual BEFORE purchase?
Did you just create the neologism 'nicQuids'? Because of recent confusion in what we are actually vaping, I adopt it wholeheartedly.

Absolutely not, the term "nicQuid(s)", as well as camel case, has been around since the advent/inception of "eCigs" as far as I can remember which was a LONG TIME ago.

This might be moot coz everyone knows that almost all of the eCig industry resorts to "Made in China". (Definitely NOT my cup of tea for eLiquid tho! :eek:).

Maybe due to so much inter-China competition between them they're trying to differentiate from each other with: a) efficient/fast Shipping options, b) Guarantees/Warranties, and c) I've definitely noticed more responsive Customer Support including better English.

So, Anyway, AGREE, but what do ya mean: "They know their days are coming"? :confused:

Here's a review of XFKM after-market 3rd party Nord coils. I was going to post a full report on some other threads later coz so far I've tried only one XFKM Nord coil. I got the regular 1.4 oHm.
  • First I had the XFKM in the new Smok Nord Vape Pen 19 (2019 model), and then after vaping for a while I switched the same coil into a Smok Nord Pod.
  • There's a bit of a transition from original Smok Nord coils coz it takes a while for your eLiquid to steep into XFKM coils due I think to different cotton than authentic Smok Nord coils.
  • Initially AT FIRST there's lots of gurgling & spitting so make sure you prime both the top AND sides of the XFKMs, let eLiquid sit in the tank for around 10 to 15 minutes, and then take some powered-off draws. (The latter needs to be done with the XFKMs every time you let your device sit unused for a while).
  • After a break-in period the XFKM coil vapes pretty smooth.
  • Vaping via swapping two devices has allowed the XKFM to last 4 days so far but keep in mind that's only part time use. However, with the bad luck and hit & miss of genuine Smok Nord coils, the XKFM coils SEEM to be a better deal at a $1 buck a piece.
Couple more notes:
  • Shipping is pretty fast, but with vaping issues in the media lately, customs slows things down AFTER gear is already in the country.
  • A bit of an UNUSUAL shocker, my last authentic Smok Nord coil has lasted around 3 weeks so far, once again via part time use, so ask yourself if you want to keep paying $10 to $15 for a 5-pack to take this chance.
  • Will update again later, but would really like to hear some other user's experiences with after-market 3rd party Nord coils. Cheers!!
