Fixed that for ya. :)

Seriously, please stop doing that folks. Figure out how to post links via http, not https, and use a link with a description not just the FT stock number. It's not that hard, and sharing any other way is not helpful.


Sorry, that was rude.:oops:
:lol: smacks Schnarph you bad kitty thing you.....

Just received my Aqua clone

The first thing thing that comes into my mind after using it for an hour is "meh". Don't get me wrong, the product is flawless, great machining.

But, building is a PITA compared to kayfuns, refilling seems to be more complex than any KF i own, it has less capacity, and it's much easier to f up your builds. I'm going to keep fiddling with it because i wanted to try a subohm dual coil when i get different kanthal but right now i wouldn't recommend this over a KF.

Now i have to decide if i'll get a Squape or just start trying different juice vendors and live happily with my KFs :p

i'm happy with my KFs, RDAs and mechs. until something truly amazing comes up i won't bother with new devices. i already get all the flavor and TH i want. i mean, really, what can possibly be better out there?

I'm with you here, i got everything i really need with the KFs. But i like to try new things, particularly the Aqua because of the possibility of having a KF with dual coil and dual holes. I still need to try cotton because the ekowool is not cutting it, but every time i vape it, it keeps getting closer to the "i won't touch it again drawer" :p

Check this review A PBusardo Review - Sigelei Legend - YouTube of the legend

If you are new with mods i wouldn't go with the legend, for me the it's way overpriced for what it offers.

If you don't mind a box mod go for the MVP 2.0

If you really want a cilindrical mod, go for the SVD or the SID that fasttech also sells :)

I was wondering if anyone ever had an incident like this with Fasttech. I placed an order with them over a month ago. They did send it. While tracking it, the item made it to the US, then stopped moving for over two weeks. I called USPS to get info on what happened to it. After being on hold for over a half hour and being transferred to diffrent departments I was told the item was lost, and there is no more information available about it. Since it was USPS first class it was not insured, so that's that. I contacted Fasttech and told them. As of yet no reply. I was wondering what my chances are of them sending out a replacement?

I really like mine. Did you get the one with red o-rings? First couple builds were a little clumsy for me, but it got real easy after I got a Technic down. I just wrap one side clockwise then wrap the other counter clockwise and tighten. I'm not sure what you mean by hard to fill? It took me a few fills to figure out the correct way to get the vacuum working so it doesn't leak at first. Once I realized it needs to be turned upside down before opening the airflow it stopped leaking on me.

I finally got the Kayfun 3.1 after reading your reviews on it. I actually ordered it before the Aqua, but the Kayfun was restocking. I haven't had time to mess with it yet though.
 
Here's my subscription order! Lol nothing much. Just some stuff for the efire, mvp 2, and ego twist :)

Says it shipped 2 days ago. I hope it makes it by valentines day!! Lol

My order made it today! 11 days after it shipped! Not bad at all. The drip tips are as advertised, not really loving them. I haven't tried the tank yet. Going to a vape meet tomorrow! Hope to get some new juice for it!

Jugband,

First, there is a good chance your order will show up again and get delivered. Tracking from China can be very weird; sometimes stuff seems to go forward, and then backwards; it's usually some kind of paperwork mistake. Everything I've ordered from them has eventually gotten here (even stuff that was listed as "returned to sender".) My guess is that the package was listed on a manifest that got sent to the US, but the package wasn't actually in the shipment. Usually in that case, they eventually find it, send it on, and things pick back up.


Having said that, I have an order placed Jan 10, Shipped Jan 16, and USPS still lists it as "Pre-shipment" even though later orders have already arrived.

FastTech will (IMHO) make good on it if it is indeed lost. But they will wait a long time to make sure it isn't just stalled somewhere, because they know from experience that this DOES happen a lot with the various China postal agencies. Sounds like your order (and mine) just missed getting out of the country for Chinese New Year, and is sitting in the back of a large room that they're emptying from the front. I have gotten 2 other shipments since in "reverse order".

In my experience, FT has always been a reliable company to deal with. They do recognize that the way things work in China may not exactly mesh with the expectations of their foreign customers though.....

I ordered a bunch of stuff from these guys several weeks ago. Was supposed to ship today. Now it says my order will ship in 10 days. I am hoping to get my order sometime before 2015. What a joke.

Slipdiskk,

Chinese new year puts a major ripple through all vendors in China. FastTech takes a 2-week vacation, and so do all of their suppliers. Mean time, orders build up.

It's pretty obvious that FT's order system knows whether or not they have a product available in the warehouse, but it doesn't know how many other people have already bought that item, and as they start fulfilling orders, they run out and your order has to wait.

That is what it is. Fast, Inexpensive, Quality. Pick 2 of the 3. With FT, Fast doesn't happen and sometimes Quality doesn't either (although they sell a lot of good merchandise. some of it IS crap. They don't censor reviews unlike some US vendors I know). And even if your order shipped today, it still might get here after something that ships 10 days from now. If you need something in a hurry (or by any specific time) DON'T order it from FT.

But if you plan ahead, they do have great prices and a ton of good vaping stuff.

Building on the aqua isn't bad. Have coil 1 do a full rotation around each post, then have coil 2 just trapped, screw, and voila.

I just wrap one side clockwise then wrap the other counter clockwise and tighten. I'm not sure what you mean by hard to fill?

Yup, i got the one with red o rings.
I didn't have problems per se with the build, i used to make dual coils on an IGO-L months ago :p but in comparison with a KF it's more difficult and i tend to prefer easy things when it comes to vaping :p

Changed the wicks to cotton and it's a much better vape than the ekowool but i still prefer my KF, i know it's just preference tho.

While i don't use my SVD that much nowadays because i prefer the MVP's form factor, the SVD is a great device.

ICRs aren't safer chemistry, and not high drain (as far as I know). I seriously doubt that they are 32a. The VTC4s are the best, unless the new 35a Efests turn out to be the new king of the hill.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

That is correct ... ICR's a higher capacity, low current batteries, they are not high drain and therefore impossible that it would have a high current rating of 32A limit to them. So either OP misread the listing, or there is a typo in the listing.

Do not use ICR batteries in anything other than a protected, regulated APV, these are not suitable for use in a mechanical mod. If you need a good IMR high drain battery, Samsung 20-R, 20-Q, and 22-P are very good batteries, with the first two listed being the best.

Also, it has yet to be determined that Sony VTC4 are the best as the last time I checked there weren't any published tests on them yet ... don't get sold by advertised amp limits. There are high amp rated batteries that actually suck at delivering power at amps over 5-10 Amps.
