Scam senses tingling. If this indeed was "genuine" fasttech, why haven't I read about it on fasttech?

FastTtechUS? fastech?!

Exactly. This guy deliberately tried to deceive people. The title of his thread was "Fasttech Now In US" This is the reply that I got.

fasttechvapors.com is strictly focusing on vapors, ecigs, mods and anything in regards to the e-cig industry. were a separate entity. expect the same low prices here in america. with faster shipping.

At least he owned up to it now but, not a good way to earn trust IMO :facepalm:

Sorry that I posted it here without having full info but, I thought that someone here would have info on it.

Heh it is just the kind of stuff we need to get through this New Arrivals drought. Something to speculate about. No harm done. I'm confident noone will read your post, go spend their pension fund and blame you if anything don't work as expected :D

Might not be an utter scam/phishing, etc... but I do question the business morale/integrity of someone choosing to go for that model. I wouldn't have too high expectations.

We need to lobby for less Chinese holidays. We need our New Products. I mean, how hard is it to post pics of 86 drip tips no one is going to buy, a couple USB drives that look like cartoon animals, and 14 new 'speed cubes'?

Slackers.

I decided to take a gamble and order the $12 Kayfun PMMA. So far, it's the only FastTech order I've regretted. The draw was too airy, (fixed with some rolled up mesh stuffed in the air channel) and it's a dry hit wonder. I dremeled out the wick channels, but performance is still sporadic. The chimney is different from all the other Kayfun clones, which makes interchangeability a pain in the rear. I bought this one to nano kit out, and I ended up using parts from a Kayfun Lite +, a spare o-ring, and the big nano kit top piece to make it somewhat workable. I still get the occasional dry hit though.

So my next order is waiting to go out. I'm pretty pumped up for this one.

FastTech is my go to for drip tips. I'm acquiring quite the collection, and unlike some of my expensive non-clone drip tips, actually fit pretty much everything I own. I know most are not exact 1:1 copies, but for drip tips, close is good enough.

Wow, PofM you are going to be in for a tough wait. I really hope your Paps clone is as nice as mine, and that Orochi/Bellwether mech looks like it has a sweet locking setup. It would be awesome if you can unlock it with one hand and vape away.

Personally metal drip tips aren't for me. I've knocked them against my front teeth too many times. These are my favorites- $7.31 POM Drip Tips for 510 / ViVi Nova / DCT (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping .

BTW, this brass Paps clone is getting a nice patina real quick. I don't think I'll need to brush it unless I get bored and want something different. The shine is pretty much gone from the polished finish it came with after a few days use.

Good luck with your wait. :D

That's good to know. I dislike shiny brass, so the quicker it acquires a patina, the happier I'll be. Since about half the items are in transit to FT, I had them split the order, and may have them split it again (since the Kayfun 3.1 won't ship until the 16th). The Orochi and Paps share 20:1 threading, so I might mix and match top caps and switches. :)

I've gone through 2 of the pmma spare parts kits. Some piece always seems to break. Whether the chimney or the tank. But they are a great, albeit expensive, way to get complete o ring kits for the kayfuns.

Even with the holiday couple days ago my order has arrived in the states. 4 days to get here. I'm impressed.

Two cool things came in the mail today.

http://www.fasttech.com/p/1677401
http://www.fasttech.com/p/1677604

The roll I mostly got to use as a template to make my own. I've got some Star Wars fleece scraps that would be cool to use for that.

Tall enough to hold a kicked Nemesis with RDA and 65mm tip. Not too big to make carrying a mod in 350 mode with Kayfun clumsy and floppy.

I'm torn on the igo m. I saw other's pics and I'm a little puzzled how mine got so f'd up. Mine is the only one I've seen with this problem. The air flow holes in the cap don't line up with the air flow holes in the deck. I don't want to send it back, but I'm disappointed that I'm the odd man out on this one. Guess it's time to get the dremel out and cut the top part off of the deck holes.

Gonna dremel this off.

Also got the black Taurus RBA. The engraving is not clean at all. Not in the slightest. But I got it knowing I was going to drill through the engraving for dual holes as it only has one. But solid deck. Same as any other 3 post RBA sold on the sight. But I've gotten spoiled with Helios. Not sure I can go back to traditional posts. The split positive posts are now my favorite thing to build on. So easy and fuss free.

I have two pmma spare parts kits too, but have had absolutely no problems with breakage. They've actually made the $14 KFL into a useable little guy. I still recommend them highly, although I admit that mine don't go outside the house very frequently.

One broke in my pocket. Think the tip bent the tank out of shape. The other had chimney failure. I don't think it's actually PMMA. The chimney part. Gummy bear juice at it. Like the foggy Helios cap. The top cap part is different materials than the afc ring and barrel part. Top cap doesn't rot, but rest does with tank cracker juices. The kayfun kits are awesome, I enjoy making my kayfuns not look like everyone else's. I'll keep buying them, no doubt, but in general, just not too satisfied with their longevity.
