The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

[bluecat]

Has been awhile since I got anything from fasttech. Well vape related in general, beginning of December 2013. Just got a brass nemmy clone, 3d topper and some glass drip tips. Love the glass drip tips https://www.fasttech.com/p/1709501.

The 3D is well sitting in the will try again pile at a later date. Maybe it was the liquid I used tried some GWAR bloodbath (I don't really like it) also dripped some of diy and still didn't like the way the 3d worked. https://www.fasttech.com/p/1651001

The brass nemmy I really like. It seems to stay cooler than my ss clone and the button is smoother. I am trying to patina it using different methods. I have only had it 2 days and experimenting so not much on it and crappy pic.

I did order 2 set of 10 magnets and a 510 adapter for the 3d. The magnets were a 10 day wait so I put them in a second order.

Currently really enjoying the IGO L and W from here on the brass nemmy with smoktech kick. I like the FT IGO better than the original.

I have the copper nemesis and patriot on order to go with the rest of my collection. Love the brass stingray.

Several vendors carry vanilla butternut including Loran. You can get it at Wizard's Lab.

Vanilla butternut? Where would one find some vanilla butternut?

Sounds delicious !

I really wanted the mini. Guess I'll get a full size from 101.

@NatureBoy Maybe you need to try a treatment facility . I know the feeling I was like that (not as much) for months they owned me. I sometimes had 10 15 orders out there wife was ready to kill me. Good like and have fun.

@beebz I tried many premixed and DIY and best for me was One-on-One Flavors | Co-Packing - Flavor Concentrates - Flavor Mixes I DIY now just flavor there but it to me is awesome. Once tried you are hooked rich and just the right sweet none added.

I am going to cancel that POS kayfun mini they have something else I want worse next day I need that thing like I need 2 ...***** once their weekend is over. Not because they are slow getting it I couldn't care less just need the bux for something better.

Long live FT.. I am sorta addiction free just now..

Hey Fastechians,

Long time no order. Working up a summer order and have two questions. I want a cheap mech that just works. Don't care so much about form as I do function. I also want to try a Kayfun style atty. Again, my main concerns are function and to a lesser extent price.

Right now I have in my basket:

Kayfun Lite Plus V2 Style Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5ml)
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1700500

and

Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1604509


Opinions, suggestions, or should I hit buy?

I agree with you on the Nemesis choices - really nice! But not on the $14 Kayfun. It has a non-hollowed-out top cap and is a pain. I now have 3 of that design unfortunately, since I made the mistake of getting 2 on a 'group buy' at FC, which turned out to be exactly the same as my $14 FT one. I managed to fix the FT one by swapping out the top parts and chimney with PMMA replacements I had, but the 2 FC ones are languishing, unused, waiting for more PMMA parts to arrive. Leaking, gurgling, center chimney not connecting and sealing properly...myriad issues. I'm glad they weren't my first Kayfuns or I would have been very disappointed!

The V2 seems to me to be a pretty good choice, in part because of the parts that come with it. Or the 3.1 first version: $21.54 SvoeMesto Kayfun v3.1 ES Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) - stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping . I have two - great, reliable little guys!

I have 2 of these and one more on the way. Everyone of them has worked well so far. $21.54 SvoeMesto Kayfun v3.1 ES Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) - stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Little tricks:
Changing top caps, add an o-ring to the chimney cap to raise it. Also works for using the Nano or Top Cap Nano kits.
Eliminates any Gurgling/air leak issues.
PMMA kit can be used to standardize chimney if desired.

I'd jump on the V2 myself, but budget got tight - Work injury/rehab therapy and I already have 4 FT KFL's. Bought the PMMA last on a lark(spare parts idea) Nope, Vapes better than all the rest.

I also have 3 KFL+ Black Editions - awesome build quality $49ea. Surprisingly Vape is about the same as the $12.xx version

Not sure if you wanted SS or Brass Nemesis - Brass has the Smoothest switch by far once cleaned and broke in.

On the subject of nemesis mods. All the switches on all of mine are starting to hot now and loose voltage because of it heating the switch instead of the coil. The only ones that are performing beautifully are the two copper versions. They don't get hot anywhere except the coil and the switches are very smooth. I have 5 different kinds btw.

Time for a serious cleaning and polish. Not just the switch/contacts - hit all the thread sections also. It is just a current restriction - like pinching a garden hose.
*you would be amazed at the amount of microscopic dirt/oxidation that goes on. I have Ultrasonic cleaned a Mod that looked good and the solution ended with a thin scum layer on top. I use Orange cleaner(dollar store) then dry and wipe everything down good.

Just made my first order with fasttech.They have the quartz nano kit for the kayfun for under $5.I just ordered the kayfun a few days ago,but i wasn't going to spend $20+ for the glass tank,so i'm glad to see they had it this cheap.Now the wait begins haha.
I know alot of people go for the free shipping,and i've heard about it taking a long time to arrive,i opted for the first class express or whatever it's called that says 8-12 days,anybody have experience with that option?It was only like $1.50 more,just curious if the extra was worth it,or if i should just stick with the free shipping the next time i order,and there will definitely be several more orders haha.

I did that once. Placed order on march 30, vapemail came june 5. I save the buck fifty now. Most recent order arrived in chicago june 18 and has currently made it all the way to.....chicago. Am I the only one that seems to have minimum of ten days to get from chicago to my house which is less than an 8 hour drive away?

 

[b.m.]

I forgot about Chicago.Every time i buy something online,no matter where it's coming from,if it passes through there,it has been a major hold up every time.I bought something that was being shipped from California,normally it doesn't even go to them,but for some reason it went there,and the tracking # showed the same thing for 5 days before it ever moved out of their facility.I figured they had lost it there,so i contacted a person on another forum i go to,that is a supervisor at another postal sort facility,and he did some checking for me,and said no it wasn't lost,just sitting until they had enough items going the same direction as mine.Although he did inform me that they are one of the slowest facilities they have.

Just placed an order for a Mini Protank 3 as a backup tank and it shipped almost immediately, on a Saturday too!

That is the longest waiting part now a days for me, it will only take 2-3 days to come out of china, but then sits in Chicago 5-10 days, it didn't use to be like that, not sure what has changed there, but still get things a lot quicker than when they had the custom problems in china.

 

[b.m.]

I figure i will have a long waittime anyway.They just started selling the quartz kit,so there is a 7 day ship time on it,on top of the actual transit time.I can deal with that though,i definitely have more time than money,so saving at least $15 over what it would cost anywhere else will make the long wait far easier.

 

[boomerdude]

I've been getting e packets in 7-9 days lately. Mine always go to NY Custom for a day or two, then to Flushing, NY. Takes a day or two from there to my door. So I go for e packet every time, at least while it's working so well.

 

[RickLoveBacon]

Placed my first order last Sunday. I.ordered a omega style rba and a gizmo that let's you use 18650 batteries in 26650 mechs. I have been hesitating to order so I did, just to give it a try.

Sent from the Bacon isle.
