I have had the SVD from fasttech for about a month now and really enjoy using it, although for practical day to day use I take my MVPs (also FT) because they are totally hassle-free, last for ages and will even charge my cellphone if needed.

The SVD is beautifully made, fairly heavy, and works perfectly for me. Battery life is only a few hours of chaining, though. It's an excellent synthesis of a mech mod and a VV/VW device. For $37 at FT (just the SVD itself), it's definitely worth trying out.

Are you using this battery? Panasonic NCR18650B Super Max 3.7V 3400mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Battery-Green

I love my SVD and would certainly recommend it. Durable, beautiful, and a great vape. I use 2600mAh 18650s and they last me a day and a half to two days, depending on how much I vape (which is quite a lot...). I got it from Fasttech in August. About two weeks shipping time, but that was before the problems with shippments from China (I've been lucky with no more than 22 days for my orders through September, but some have had packages stuck at the Hong Kong post office for more than a month). Get the batteries locally, if you order them from Fasttech there's a good chance that your package is returned to the sender and it'll take even longer before you get the device.

If you like long heavy apvs then you will like the SVD. Had mine since July. Dropped it once and chipped some bricks on my patio work. It still works fine, luckily it landed base first so the tank stayed intact. I had to clean some brick off of it, but not a scratch or dent.

Only issues I have had is the button seems a little wonky at times. I think it is an Innokin thing as other of their APVs do the same thing.

I use AW 350s and the Panny Pds. The 350 are basically an appetizer for it. They do not last long at all. They PDs last 2 to 3 days of nightly vaping.

I really like the X6 tank and the X8 carto tank from Fasttech on it. I would get some boges though for the cartos. Also not a big fan of the wicks. Many people like them, but I just recoil with yarn.

I don't think you're going to beat the FT price, especially because shipping is free. Here in Canada, it seems to go for $90-100 at B&Ms, a signifiant difference to be certain. The

In terms of the device itself, I don't think you will be disappointed - it does everything that you could possibly want and is very well built. I ordered mine with batteries from FT, and everything arrived in about 4 weeks. I've since purchased replacement batteries locally, although the Samsungs that came with my order have worked perfectly on all accounts.

I do occasionally use mine with a mini PT II, and will admit while it doesn't look terrible, the device defintiely looks better with a full sized tank on it.

All the best!
