Had a gold Patriot stuck in the "restocking ?" phase.. opened a ticket, they told me 10 days wait. It's packaging today 2 days later.

Meanwhile, same thing happened with another order, Stingray tips were holding it up, told 10 days, so cancelled and re-ordered separate items. For all I know, those tips are gonna be shipping for people now and I'm going to end up waiting two weeks now for them.. lol :(

I think FT likes to mess with people, that or they don't know anything and just reply with random messages. From my experience so far, it seems best just to order and forget it.

Then there's my Poldiac.. hasn't updated since it was accidentally re-routed to Seattle a few days ago.

There are these 3 ego-c twist batteries on fasttech
1) Vision Spinner - https://www.fasttech.com/p/1637401
2) Joyelife - $13.88 Joyelife EGO-C Twist "1100mAh" Variable Voltage Rechargeable E-Cigarette Battery - purple / 3.2V-4.8V adjustable voltage / 930~950mAh actual capacity at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
3) No Name - $11.78 EGO-C Twist "1100mAh" Variable Voltage Rechargeable Battery for E-Cigarette - silver / 930~950mAh actual capacity at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Is there any difference between these 3 at all? I am ordering a battery & was wondering which or any of these 3 to order?
Has anyone ordered this or any battery from Fasttech - are these clones good?

My girlfriend has one of the "no name" red ones since August and it still works fine, she isn't a heavy vaper so YMMV but it has been working fine since i got it for her.

Amazing... I ordered my stuff 2 days ago... It shipped today. Yay!

It wasn't a lot of stuff.

A 10 pk of bottles w/needle tips.
A Trident atomizer
A 5 pk of 50 ml bottles
Some drip tips.

I'm going to place another larger order too... I have a genuine Nemeses and want to try the clone to compare quality.

Be careful with VERY large orders, sometimes they get flagged by customs and you have to go down and pay import fees and stuff or they won't let it make it thru (yay gubbermint)

Also keep in mind, the larger the order, the greater the chance of one or more items holding up the rest of the shipment. The first big order I placed did just that. Starts to get really frustrating.

If that ever happens, whatever you do don't cancel the order and re-order separately. You'll lose your queue in shipping and will make everything take even longer. Submit a ticket and ask for the shipment to be split up.

Does fasttech sell any fully stainless steel RDA's or Kayfun clones? Everyone i see it says some parts are made of non-stainless steel and i do not know how i feel about chromed brass center posts.

Just looked and didn't see the Kayfun, thought I had seen them on there before not sure about all stainless RDA's but there are a few pages of them

I like the kayfun lite clones, but that is REALLY cheap, so am a bit hesitant to order this one.

I just got mine. It's built well. Surprisingly so.

I am starting to wonder what kind of stainless steel they're using with these things though. All of these cheap stainless steel clones, and brass... what grades are they using?

Using my New one right now and it works Great. Only teeny tiny issue is the smallish coil screw heads, but they are easily replaced.
On Mine(YMMV) Machining is very good, channels are plenty deep, Air flow is decent(not adjustable) Parts fit together nice.

People keep popping off about Chromed brass pins and such - Ever used a clearomizer? Shut up and Vape.

Only Chrome plated Dripper parts, subjected to excessive heat have a tendency to Flake away - this is due to differing heat expansion of 2 dissimilar metals.
