Moving it forward, added nimbus clone
We all love
fasttech for their selection and price but not every item on the site is a sure fire hit. Here are some
fasttech misses. Some reported items to think twice about. Carrot Emperor (Buyer Beware)
YMMV
-This vivi clone is a dog: run away

-These CE6 clearos have been reported hit or miss by several. The ones I got with a battery were fine but the six pack gives a nasty taste.

-These 650 mAh batteries have been reported to be poor performers $23.87 650mAh Rechargeable Battery for E-Cigarette (4-Pack) 4-pack - for Q3 / Q4 / Q6 / Q7 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
-Several of the 50 ml needle tip bottles have reported to leak or the needle slips or comes off and it does not lock on. Luer lock tops do not fit.
-From user Hughthehand "
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1360004 My Vivi Nova V7 comes with horrible burnt tasting heads. The body is really nice with a great finish so it is a nice buy if you don't mind replacing/rebuilding the heads that come with it. I really like mine with my rebuilt heads."
-These Protanks
http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/1...stic-tank-25ml are ABS plastic clone and assumed that tank crackers will get them. Fastech does sell real protanks and list them as Kanger Protanks (but they are often out of stock)

-From member Markh5682-"Ultrafire batteries are another thing you should avoid, the quality of these are questionable at best, downright dangerous at worst."
Just some observations after following all the FT threads and ordering from them a bunch of times:
* If they say genuine "Smoke" "kanger" "Itaste" what ever then it will be from that manufacturer. If not then the piece is in all likely hood a knock off. That includes when they say "genuine" Vivi Nova. Vivi is not a company but a clearo style. This piece will be a knock off.
*Generally it takes around 8-10 business days after the package leaves FastTech until you get it here in the states. DO NOT expect speedy delivery from FastTech. Although, it does happen on rare occasions, FastTech is a bit of a waiting game. Know this when you buy from them.
*If you have a question about a product, open a discussion thread on FastTech under the item. Geek or one of the other techs will answer your question as honestly as possible.
*FastTech generally has very good customer service but there is the time difference and language barrier. If you have any problem, even a small one, open a ticket. Be patient and do every thing they ask (take a picture of product etc.) and I have not read of one person who was not taken care of.
*FastTech has, by far, some of the funniest product descriptions on the planet.
If people post things that DON'T work out I will try to add it to this list and re-post it every so often.
FastTech search, it's not just a function it's an adventure!
