Im about to do the same lol. i ordered some twists from fasttech and was disapointed with the quality but iv been looking into there svd and everyone says its the exact same as the one from innokin. id say its safe to buy its just a drag it takes so long to get there. its way worth it for the price though
Buy it!! I got mine from FT and it's the most solid well built regulated mod I have.. I use it as my beater.. It comes with me everywhere and I never have to worry about breaking it.. It uses the battery quite efficiently as well. High drain panasonics last me almost 2 days of heavy vaping. For the FT price it's literally a steal for the quality you get. If possible kick up the $60 for the whole kit.. I'm sorry I didn't myself and only got the mod fur $37

Well the SVD from Fasttech would be the same SVD from other vendors, so no worries as far as fake stuff. All of the Chinese mods (the SVD, the Vamo, Zmax, SID) have their positives and negatives. There are a ton of people very happy with them (like myself) and there are a few unlucky people that have received their devices that are defective (or stopped functioning correctly after some use).
With so much e-cig stuff coming from China, we are forced to just deal with it. One of the nice things about Fasttech is that they have a great return policy. However, they are in China, so if you do need to return something, it could take a while.
Read up on the SVD. Decide if you think it might be for you. I like my Vamo and Zmax. I've had both for a while and they are still ticking.

I've got one on order. Originally ordered the I Taste 134 then realized it was going to be too big and clunky for me, (I'm a woman), so I cancelled and used my credit for an SVD and a MVP instead. Just waiting for them to ship at this point.
At first I was frustrated that the original order didn't ship next business day, but now I'm glad it didn't.

As a veteren SVD user (two of them) and now I have my nose up in the air at many old mods that I have used, I would highly recomend the SVD wheather it be your first or your 7th or 8th mod.
I use Provari's now, but both SVD's in my household are still being used dailey by other family vapors as well as an MVP. The remainer of my mods are keeping the aging/steeping juice company in a dark drawer.

I have purchased a few innokin itaste svd's from Fasttech, and they are definitely, without a doubt the real deal. It was for friends, family members and myself. I cannot fault the svd at all, and everyone using thee Fasttech svd's i brought in are 100% happy with them.
I have subequently moved on to a Kangertech Evod unit, with 1.8ohm coils as i find that it fulfills my vaping needs and is so much more convenient to move around with.

I bought a vamo v3 from ft a month ago, still works, but not as sturdy as I'd like. I dropped it at a bar with a pt2 on it, the pt2 was fine, but the battery cap broke the threads off into the extension tube. I'm thinking about getting a svd until I can spring the money for the vtr. I hear great things about the svd, but have yet to try one. The oled screen on the vamo(which everyone swears is better) washes out in sunlight, but the svd looks like it would work better in direct sunlight, but I don't know if that's true.

I love my SVD because all the features it provides, but after months of using it i prefer my MVP much more.
If you are set on getting a SVD, protanks and RDA's at >1.3ohm will work fine

I have two SVD's from Fast Tech and really loving them. Just ordered the Vamo V5 from them a couple days ago. Don't see how the Vamo could be any better, but thought for the price I should at least try. Everyone on this forum advises to have backups for backups. I am just following the boards advise.
First of, I have to say that I have never owned a vv/vw mod. So, I have no first hand knowledge of any of them. But, wanting one, I agonized over which one to buy as I too have a budget. I did about 3 weeks worth of research on the various models and broke down the candidates to:
- Innokin iTaste SVD
- Smoktech S.I.D
- Vamo V3
I searched for issues people were having with them as watching the Grim Green, PBasardio YT reviews.
The "bumped out" LCD screen on the SVD wasn't winning any points with me, it just looks like it's an afterthought. Thats a subjective thing I know but that's my opinion. But then, a few stories I ran across about the SVD suddenly dying (no I don't have a link) put me off to them all together, maybe it is only a small percentage but, buying from Fasttech, I didn't want to take the chance. I get the impression that Innokin rushed the SVD into production a little too fast. I am fairly confident that the issues (if there truly are any) will be corrected.
I really wanted to like the SID, nice looking (Provarilike), rugged and well built and a one button menu system (KISS) but it's menu is a mess and ugly. Although, of the three, it is probably the most reliable. You can also get after market tubes for them that allow it to be used with 18350 bats (Mad Vapes carries them among others). If I had the choice of having one and only one mod, I would probably overcome my dislike of the menu and go with it.
The Vamo v3 had made some real nice improvements to it's menu with a scrolling OLED display that is really good looking. In fact, the Vamo v3 would appear to have it all; flexible battery configs, nice buttons etc. The issues I found with the Vamo v3 were:
1. the swirls in the body... the v2's body looked so much cleaner and professional. - Not a real biggie tho..
2. Models with the gun metal finish had the finish ware off easily. - I was looking at the SS one so, no biggie.
3. all the Vamos are notorious for having a soft brass 510 connector (that possibly has non-standard pitch threads) and can easily be stripped. BIGGIE !
They are on their 5th version now and they can't get that connector right ???
Fortunately, for #3, there is a workaround and that is to get a tank airflow controller, screw it into the 510 connector snugly (but not tightly) , leave it there and screw/unscrew your attys from that. Unfortunately, you lose the ego connector when you do this (tho you can use an ego/510 adapter. All this of coarse adds height to an already tall mod...
---
In the end, when Fastech listed the new Vamo v5 for $32 and change last Monday I bolted on it. I also immediately bought a tank airflow controller. Being a dripper, I don't need an ego adapter and will only be using the Vamo around the house. For going out and about I use a Magneto.
Hope this helps.

Ok, I totally was thinking about the SiD, when i previous posted so editing.. If your looking for a long lasting VV/VW device. I have had a v1 vamo for a long time.. right about when they came out. It still works, I also have a v2 that I use everyday.. Telescoping on the SVD is nice feature and its good mod for the money. The innokin devices I have owned have all been fairly well built and last, I have a v1 mvp that works great since they came out. I dont' think you will be disappointed with a svd, sid or vamo honestly for what your looking for.

I have an SVD and a Vamo V2. I switch between both and I feel you really can't go wrong with either. The SVD is a tad bigger than the Vamo. But not a big difference.
Thx guys i guess it's more of a case of which i like more in terms of looks due to have similar they are
I have had my SVD for a month now or so and I really like it.
The LED screen is very visible even in bright sunlight too.
I got mine on eBay for $69.99 w/free shipping. Received it in three business days from Calif. to Texas.
That's only $9.99 more than what is currently being charged on the FastTech website and delivery was a lot quicker.
It was the complete kit with two telescoping tubes (one short for 18350 battery and one long for 18650 battery or two 18350 batteries), plus two Innokin iClear 30 top coil clearomizers.

I love my SVD. I was super, super hesitant about buying from FT (I struggled with my conscience on that one a lot) but eventually economics won out (economics = my strained budget). I received my item in 13 days and it's a great little mod. I've used an Evic and MVP2 but this one is my favorite. I've only had it a couple of weeks and hope it lasts a little while but at least if it does die out I didn't spend a fortune on it. I still use the MVP and it's nice but the SVD suits me better. Can't wait to get my ProVari at Christmas though.
I finally pulled the trigger for what I've really wanted - the Reo Grande.
The SVD will make a fine back up though - or a fine gift for one of my many friends trying to stop smokin.

I don't think you'll regret getting an SVD. So well built, nice buttons, nice weight, good display, get couple days vape time from an 18650. Nice mod
