I've also got a svd from FT, it was 4-5 months ago, still works well. One 18350 battery from FT is dead now (I've ordered 4), but all APVs I bought from them are ok.
That's good to hear. I'll be sending my SVD back before the six month replacement warranty expires. I was using protected batteries in mine so I want to use unprotected AW's and see if that makes a difference. I don't know why it would but I want to try. The protected batteries are old and unbranded. They came with a Lavatube kit I bought a year ago. I want to run those AW's and see how it goes.
