So when I get mine, I don't need to use the brass pin right? I'm new to this stuff, so please be kind!:)
Dunno. Mine only came with a BF centerpin already installed and it's s/s, not brass.

Fastech is kinda strange about that. Something's aren't clones some are. Looks interesting I am gonna have to find me something to try :) thanks
I've bought from them and had no problem, I know it's a clone and it's in my price range, that way if I don't like it, I'm not losing a lot!
A lot of members here have bought the one I'm getting, and give it 5 star reviews

You can use pp with fasttech

Depends on your location. Seeing more and more complaints from those who live in the US that PayPal is no longer an option to purchase through FastTech. However, you can purchase a FT gift card using PayPal and then use the gift card to purchase e-cigarette related items.

Whooshy whooshy... lmao, my new word for the day. Thank you
IDK, I'm 40s, been vaping since my 30s, 90% of the time I'm at 8-15watts, and I prefer RDL, with some MTL being okay (I love the K5, like the mini v3, but going back to Kayfun Lite+ is just... nah, not doing this, I do not miss the whole sucking golf balls through a straw, Boge cartos airflow). I like whooshy-whooshy, even without 1.2gigawatts on a .01Ω build.

The new "LOOK" is not inviting at all...just cold and stark. The old view was inviting and warm though....but the reason I don't come back much is the 'new look'....just not attractive at all.

Well, the site was running vBulletin software which kinda became a trainwreck and running unsupported software for years of time isn't the greatest idea with a site this large, so they switched the software to XenoForo and have been gradually and slowly adjusting the theme. It may be possible to adjust/change the theme here, I haven't ever actually looked, but often forums let individual users decide on their display prefs/themes.

With, "this forum has slowed down!" well, when I started reading this site in 2009 and then finally logged in an account and started participating in 2010, e-cigs were very new and it was a very small subculture and niche. In the beginning, all roads led here.

Vaping has gained relatively mainstream status, I understand why this site is the way it is with enforcement of rules/etc, because the owner(s) have begun monetizing everything with vaping.com and all the ads here (not a dis, yay capitalism, they should do that, it takes a lot of time/money/effort to keep this place running), but there are many, many, many other places to go at this point; without naming other similar forums, with more lenient rules, there's also very large social media platforms like Reddit, and Facebook has roughly 10 million vape-related groups, many of which are quite active. Want to learn how to use some new thing you got? Well, youTube... ECF just isn't as necessary as it was a decade ago.

2009: this was the epicenter of online vaping information (if there was something else bigger/better, I didn't find it, just similar and smaller forums).

2017: the center is everywhere, type vaping or electronic cigarettes into any search engine and ECF isn't even in the first 5 pages of results. Just based on what I see when cruising through the site, the attrition rate of people leaving/becoming inactive on ECF is probably higher than the incoming rate of new user accounts. I'm guessing most of the new users arrive when they have a specific problem or question, because usually it's been answered 250 times in one of the near-endless threads here, which index out to search engines.

Yes, actually, you can pick how to view the forum. Click on your name in upper right hand corner and go to preferences(scroll down it is on the left hand side of screen). Click on that. Once that comes up the first thing you see is how you want to view the forum. The drop down box offers 3 options.

Wow 27 and you are referring to yourself as "not too old"? I am twice your age and still not considering myself as old.

I know bud. Time doesn't cease its silly antics. I know this will cause some uproar but i think that 28 yo is your prime (for men).
It seems to start gently going downhill after, from what ive seen.
Saying that, ive heard your 30s can be your best years because your not too young to be treated as a child but not too old for when things become relatively difficult compared to how they used to be.
My dad can no longer spring up from his knees without support. He clings to the tables and such. He's 60.
I think we generally support the ageing process nowadays,
I would suppose this is because of an ageing population.

I know... 'boo, hiss :nah:'

What thread is this again? Sorry, hello moderators.
