The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

Probably the best dang rta I've tried. I really wish my o-rings would get here soon, I've had this shelved for a month now due to flooding. Heck, it even performs admirably in dripping mode.

You'll be fine with the clone, so long as you order the seal rings with it.

Honorable mention for the Flash V3, but its flavor just doesn't compare to the Aqua.

I have a clone from 101vape. Where does the o-ring go? Mine leaks at the bottom a little bit.

Question. Recently placed an order. First one in a while. Everything was going fine. better than fine actually. Order was placed, processed, and shipped within 3 days. Tracking showed it had arrived in New York 3 days later. Processed through USPS Garden City location.

12 hours later it shows as being prepared for shipment from China again.

How is this possible. Am I going crazy? Has anyone seen anything like this before?
It looks like my shipment got overnight air dropped back to China.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Just curious. I have also contacted the USPS and fast tech.

Welcome to the world of USPS!!!
Give it a couple of days and check tracking again. No telling what they are doing.

I have had so many issues with USPS in the last 6 months. Not limited to vape mail either, lol. They've just really declined lately.

Made an order saturday, says shipped on sunday, usps doesnt identify tracking number. I guess its the waiting game now. I have a few things coming from a few places for a new setup. Getting the cherrybomber clone from ft, hope it doesnt take too long.

Fast shipping for my last split order -

But not all good, they split this order because they keep putting back the shipping date for the Zenith v2.5, sitting in re-stocking and this is one of the things that made me go looking at other places, ship date been pushed back 3 times now

Then on top of that, one of the things I did receive today was premade coils which was meant to be 26gauge 0.7ohms, but ended up with 28gauge 1.6ohms instead, put a ticket in asking if they can send me the right ones when they ship the zenith, we will see what they say.

My new favorite DT at the moment:

Got this awhile ago and never used it because it was a little too busy-looking, but that ball at the top and how it tapers underneath it is incredibly comfortable! Wide bore from top to bottom - wide enough to clear a KFL/Orchid chimney. And nice alternative to the 5 Pawns one that so many other people have now. (pic is linked. click on it.)

That's pretty cool,i looked at hundreds of drip tips on their site a few weeks ago,and never seen that one,i added it to my wishlist to put in my next order.Kind of looks like the ball on a trailer hitch haha.

 

[cindycated]

You'll like it, b.m. You'll get plenty of volume. So easy to seal your lips around the trailer hitch and with the wide bore the vapor just flows and flows.

I ordered a lot of stuff from FT back in Germany.

I'm thinking about ordering some mods and attys in the next days / weeks to the US. Do I have to consider something ordering from China?

 

[Martnargh]

My order was accepted but has been sitting in china sorting facility for a few days.

Just the time frame,don't order anything you need fast.I have had a few orders get to me 5-6 days after i ordered,and i have also had a few that took a month or more.

Sometimes they will sit there a few days,just depends on how fast they get a full shipment ready to send to the U.S.,and also sometimes they don't scan it when it leaves there,so it could already be on it's way and was just not scanned.My last one showed it at the sort facility until the day it landed in my mail box.

Same when you order to Germany. 5-6 days at best or you wait a really long time. Longest I waited once was 6 months. So I know that problem already

Thanks.

Sorry for the late response, the o-ring goes underneath the positive post. When you take the delrin insulator out of the base there should be a little gap at the bottom you can see where an o-ring goes.

Okay so my stainless Nemesis (SKU 1448300) stopped working right for some weird reason. Dry fires 3 out of 10 tries, and the 3 times it does fire, it's very weak.

Kinda at my wit's end here...and no, I'm not making the newb mistake of leaving the beauty ring on. I've tried with spring, tried with magnets, tried with the switch contact screwed down all the way tight, tried with the switch contact unscrewed somewhat to decrease throw. Tried with the top cap, tried in hybrid mode with a kepler adapter. Still no go...

Anyone have this issue with this clone, and is there a fix? I'm open to any suggestion!

 

[cindycated]

I don't have a Nemi, but similar thing happened to me on my First by Tad. Apparently an invisible layer of shmutz had formed on the surfaces of the positive pin and the negative contact on the switch (haha big screwy thing in the middle ). I lightly sanded them with 2000 grit and all was well. Unfortunately though, that's how I found out my top pin was copper COATED, not solid copper. If the pins are copper on your Nemi, TarnX would probably be a better way to clean them off. Also, that's what I hate about multi-section mods (as opposed to a solid tube). Sometimes enough gunk develops in the threads in between sections to break the ground, enough to make it not fire. Maybe just do a really thorough cleaning on all the pins and threads, and maybe dab a little DeOxIt on the connecting surfaces (or whatever similar product you use)... or you can buy a replacement switch and topcap.

 

[javyn]

My Nemi contacts are silver coated whatever, so I'm hesitant to put anything on it aside from alcohol. Going to give it a good cleaning and mix a little graphite powder with petroleum jelly and coat the threads. Hopefully that helps.

For my brass and copper contacts, honestly, my usual maintenance on them is just buffing them with some ketchup and a good rinse; works great!
