Shortest fight ever.

 

[Redbird11]

Touche my friend.
I'm Spanish and i hate soccer,same goes for football,hockey,tennis and golf.
I did enjoy basketball when i was younger,you know the times of Michael Jordan,Larry Bird,Scottie Pippen,etc,etc.

You better keep that to yourself. I think not liking soccer is one of the top reasons for deportation in Spain.

@Pigs please post your pics and warnings on a FT thread so they are aware. They have been know to remove such dodgy items from their site in the past.

I would complain up a storm in their thread here and via FT messaging until they resolve this for you in a most satisfactory manner.

@Pigs I'm glad you posted about that version of the Arise rta.

So do you think posting in the discussions thread for this SKU on the FT site is the way to go or is there a better place to share this info?

I'll set up a ticket with FT for a refund also.

I must deeply apologize to our fearless Asmodus/brunhilde leader,I'm sorry @Daniel Forsyth

While i do enjoy my Asmodus colossal but...i have found a new to mod to admire and sing it's praises.

Time to start saving and checking the website to see if they have offers once in a while.

I know you want yourself that Hulk Buddy, no need to apologise
I've even gone pretty Vicious myself lately Brunhilde is still on top though!!
There is a good chance the VA website will have a discount over Xmas, keep your eyes peeled

I would just ask to speak to their manager.

You mean a phone call? Are you serious or is that a redbird joke?

It was a Redbird joke. Sorry, I had nothing constructive to add. Asking for a refund and posting about it is probably the best bet.

You know I still haven't tried the Brunhilde I bought. I think I have had it since July.

I would also open a thread here on ECF: Fasttech

And would copy/paste your earlier post into the thread.

I would absolutely make a new discussion thread on FT for the SKU. Share everything you did here. All FT regulars will be most happy that you did.

I think FT needs to know people won't accept crappy clones.

Very beautiful VA Marquis Daniel!!! I love it.

I found this wall unit for your growing VA collection.

It even has cool internal lighting.

Love your new Pumper too.

Thanks SMT

That little cabinet looks a too large, maybe

That's why you've got 25 little dwarfs instead of 25 Big Brunhilde's

 

[ShowMeTwice]

Thanks SMT

Perhaps a year from now you will be wishing you had one.

I only see your desire for VA's growing. Resistance is futile.

 

[Daniel Forsyth]

There's a good chance you might be right there!
Especially since I already have one of the new Marquis 21700's in my cart

They are not little. They are a perfectly normal height for their age.

Good Morning Shiny People

Ok so I got this no name SQ Arise clone today from FT - arrived after only 8 days door to door. As you guys know, I was super excited.

$21.21 SQ Arise Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4ml / 316 stainless steel / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping

First I want to make it clear that these comments relate to this no name clone. Not the authentic or other clones like the FSTK.

My first impression was that it looked ok but then I had a closer look before disassembling and cleaning. Plenty of rough edges and even loose SS shavings.

One spare parts bag contained the af inserts and chimney reducer, the other O rings.
You can see the crap quality of the af inserts below.

View attachment 921847

The chimney reducer had some type of glue or melted plastic that completely blocks it.

View attachment 921849

I want to thank @ShowMeTwice for his detailed description and photos of the parts and functions of the authentic Squape version. I referred back to this before I built - lucky I did.
My clone had an O ring missing on the top/outside of the deck. Would have been easy to miss this. SMT's photos and description made a point that this needed lubing before assembly. Luckily the spare parts bagggie had one that fit.

The main and most disturbing issue with this clone is the 510 pin.
When it is fully screwed in the pin doesn't protrude properly - so no good positive contact:

View attachment 921851

I had multiple SHORT and CHECK ATOMIZER error messages before I dug around and found a second O ring to push the 510 out just enough. Still this is just a dodgy, temporary fix.
I don't expect it to last or work on different mods. An unforgivable and dangerous flaw.

Also the coil I wound for this (6 wrap 2.5mm ID 2*28/36 Ni80 fused clapton) reads 0.8 Ohms on this atty. The same build always reads between 0.5 and 0.6 Ohms in other decks so there's an added resistance here. In the 510 pin or deck - bad components.

Fasttech shouldn't sell crap like this in 2020

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS RTA ON A MECH MOD.

In fact don't buy it at all. Buy the original or the YFTK clone or whatever - just not the one I linked above.
And just as I was typing this my temporary 510 fix failed. So fuggit - it's time to have a vape on the trusty Dvarw!

Here's how it looks anyway (Bludger showing his disdain in the background)

Bludger is shunning it!

Done. New thread posted here on ecf and discussion started on the FT site for this SKU. Thanks for the link and advice SMT.
