I got one from FT about six weeks ago. The locking ring will drive you nuts. It's flush with the cap and firing button with no knurls. Lock it just a little tight and it's a real pain to unlock. The clearance on the firing button ain't anything to wright home about either.



I have been waiting for a month now since ordering a "Mixed Caravela Style Mechanical mod Full Kit" (18350 & 18500 & 18650 tubes) ... Still not in stock!

They keep telling me 5 more days ... 5 more days ... 5 more days!

$21.96 Mixed Caravela Style Mechanical Mod Full Kit - 18350&18500&18650 tubes at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

USPS lost a King I ordered and FT sent another really fast. Get a ticket and when FT checks the tracking they should resend the item.

Has anyone ever gotten a replacement or credit/refund for a lost package? Mine is missing, USPS can't find it and fasttech hasn't responded to my ticket yet.

UNFORTUNATELY, I paid with store credit, so I can't file a Paypal dispute. :mad:

Thanks for the heads-up!

How is the brushed finish on the tubes?
And the Caravela logo and ship ... Nicely etched?

oh ... You wouldn't know you makes this clone, would you?

The finish, etching and threads are excellent. I don't know who makes these FT clones but I have several different, and they are all pretty good with the King being my favorite so far. None have manufacturer's names and if they come in a box, it's usually a vanilla box. I've received two that came in the same box.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Question for someone using these please. Are you using the 3mm length on the rocket? I am ordering the $15.52 Kayfun v3.1 ES Styled Rebuildable Atomizer Kit (4.5mL) - chromed brass version at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping on my next order. Should these deck screws work for this clone also?

Key word - Should - should work on all KayFun Decks/Rocket/Russian 91%
Most KF and Russian are M1.6 x 4mm but 3mm works fine.
I had one with a short threaded hole - would not bottom properly. Replaced with 3mm rather than spend more on a Tap for Stainless steel. Worked perfect.

So I shall be making an order soon from fasttech. I cannot for the life of me choose what mod I want. I already have the k100 and I just want something sleeker now. I am stuck between the nemesis, caravela, and chi you. What do you guys think? I will be getting a trident to put on top, running 18650.

I also plan to order juice, recommendations?

Also, should I order the juice in a different order than my mod/rda/ohm reader?

I have a nemesis and i love it, love the switch :)

For juice i always recommend liqua energy drink/hangsen red energy(they are almost the same), liqua tiramisu, hangsen ry4 or hangsen usa mix mint.

I wouldn't recommend this version unless you are aware of the risks of getting lead poisoning.
No atty ever should be made out of brass, but those cheaper models are. :(
Even chromed brass, which will get into your juice and then you vape that...

If you're aware of it and will take the chance, i bet it's a good deal. :)
I was gonna order it, but i'm to anxious about using chrome/brass bases. I even want a brass dripdtip that i'm not sure if i will use :p

You seriously need to stop with the incorrect information. Chrome does not Mix in e-liquids. Brass Plated with chrome CANNOT LEACH LEAD. NOT POSSIBLE, no way, no how.
Look at the shear number of clearomizers available - ALL Chrome over Brass parts and tell me someone would not have released a scientific study by now if it were correct.
If you are not an accredited metallurgist maybe you should not go there.

Okay, so I am going to get the brass nemesis and an Igo-w RDA.

I will probably just order a few things of juice from Fasttech, then get the rest somewhere else. I want 100% vg for clouds.

Couldn't wait any longer. Copper Nemesis is just too cool. And getting another Omega while I wait for the one in a lost package.

Now then to decide whether to get a purple tube and brass nemesis or a black tube and stainless nemesis.

Gotta love the nemmy, i need a 23mm nemesis in my life tho :p

I got worried the first time I read someone say this, then I remembered all the PT and other clearos I had modded. Softest metal ever. All brass. smh

I've got a blue Silver Bullet with a silver button. All of you talking about the Rocket and how good it is, even seen lots of good reviews on youtube for it, made me decide to breath new life in it with a blue rocket.

Figured that'd look good together.




I have a question for the Nemesis fans out there.

Wouldn't all these parts be interchangeable?
This
$9.59 3-Piece Anodized Aluminum Tubes for Nemesis - 18350&18500&18650 tubes at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Says it will work on these
$24.63 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod - stainless steel / with telescopic 510 contact pin at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
$19.79 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod - brass version at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
But I have this one
$25.68 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod (Mixed Edition) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Which comes with 2 beauty rings like this one
$18.50 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
And is also 6 bucks cheaper than the other stainless that it says it is compatable with. But wouldn't all the parts of all them work together and be interchangeable no problem?

Cheaply china made will do just that.(No i'm not bashing the china manufacturers, but to produce this cheap stuff they're using the cheapest material they can find. And they've no quality of control of these.) There was a youtube reviewer that showed how easily it got scratched of. Even a fingernail made the base show it's brass.
You've to remember the heat the base will gone through.
But i might be over cautious but personally i will not use brass as my base (Atleast going to avoid it as much as possible)
There's a reason that builders are adviced not to keep brass screws in their mouth for example.

When you go into a product all the interchangable parts are linked next to it :)
it says "Available models and parts: " Everything in that list should fit :)

Yes I know. I listed what it says are compatible with it in my post. Might want to read my post again.

Yeah i see. Well i don't own all of them so i don't know.
I've ordered the brass one with purple tubes for it.
And i might order the other ones aswell when i've gotten the first one.

So in all, i can't answer on that one :( sorry!
A tip is to read at their forum i bet they've covered that question :)
