Nope, not yet.
Did you have to grind off the plating or something?

If yours works and charges, im sure you're golden. Mine had some kind of weird residue/glue/leftover plating or something on the top post and wouldnt charge/fire anything. Nothing a quick touchup with a tiny grinder ball and dremel couldn't fix, my grinding seems to have revealed brass. Has worked flawlessly since.

This is what I am ordering for people:
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1392700
I got a couple sets of these so I can give out 3-4 tanks per kit. They work great. They are disposable though, you cannot change the heads. I figure 4 tanks and a battery should last a new person at least a few months and the investment is very small.. and they can experience multiple tanks so they can have flavor variety at their fingertips with no rinsing or cleaning.

I kit them up with one or 2 of these:
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1369803

They are variable voltage with the twist knob on the bottom. Real easy to deal with and good performers. An entire kit is then about 20 bucks. You can up the ante if you want and get them an extra battery to rotate here: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004043/1408803

Problem is, I can't find standalone 650mah twist batteries at Fasttech. They are all 1100's unless you buy that little kit for 15 bucks.

so, you could buy 2x650mah twist kits (https://www.fasttech.com/products/1392700), 7 extra tanks (https://www.fasttech.com/products/1392700) and a little case ($2.82 Electronic Cigarette Carrying Zipper Pouch Bag for Ego (Small Size) - blue / inner size 130mm*45mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping) all for about 48 bucks, free shipping, no sales tax. And that's a hell of a good kit to start off. You could cut that to 25 bucks if you just buy one CE5 kit and 2 extra tanks instead of the 7 pack.

I'll pay 50 bucks out of my own pocket any day if it'll get one of my good friends off cigarettes. And if it's a bust and he doesn't like it or doesn't take to it, get it back, throw away the tanks and order 7 new ones for 12 bucks and hand it off to another friend.

The only other advice I would give is for juice. If you haven't tried Fasttech's offerings, get a few bottles... it's dirt freekin cheap. You don't get 30ml of juice anywhere else for 5 bucks. I personally don't like any of it that I've gotten so far, but everyone else seems to love the stuff for the price point. To me, the only one that was tolerable was the RY4 (https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004420/1393318-hangsen-e-liquid-for-electronic-cigarettes-30ml), but it didn't have the heavier caramel that I love from Apollo RY4.
Again, I seem to be the only one that doesn't like their liquids so take it with a grain of salt.

Hope this helps, it's a good kit for a trial user on the cheap

I was kind of looking at something like this:
$23.10 CE4S-13H 8-in-1 Rechargeable 1300mAh Electronic Cigarettes Set - double e-cigarette / blue / US + EU plug at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
The clearomizers look to have 2 wicks and be rebuildable, not sure if the regular replacement heads will fit.
Also worried about how reliable the batteries are, I don't think my buddy would be happy with vaping if a battery blew up on him.

Another note about product...

$8.67 X10 Protank Atomizer Coil Heads (10-Pack) 10-pack - 2.4

These things are nasty out of the bag. I had to take a syringe and everclear and thoroughly rinse the wicking and coil in these. The have the nastiest taste, I can't even describe it.
After washing out with straight Everclear, they work fantastic.

I think they are priming these things with automatic transmission fluid or something. I've heard the same complain about the EVOD's, but the ones I got didn't have that nasty taste in them. I guess it's hit and miss.

Another thing to note is that the metal tube on top that goes into the airway is shorter than the stock Protank heads. I believe this is adding to the vapor being even more cool than the originals.

I haven't tried those clearo's personally. I can couch for the EVOD's they sell though. I bought several in single item lots and they work great.
Some have complained that the bulk packs have a real nasty taste and they have been boiling out the tanks and flushing the wicks before use.
Although battery safety should always be on your mind, I've never heard of an Ego battery exploding so I'm pretty sure it's a very rare occurrence.

I just asked Fasstech too sell RSST tanks and they said they are looking into it and even said thanks to me.

Thanks so much, i would love to se the rsst at FT price

BTW, just ordered the Strawberry cheescake 50ml as a sample with a jade drip tip :) i love my Strawberry shortcake from MBV and my dekang Strawberry, i recently got the liqua Strawberry but Dekang taste more like a real fruit.

Hope to like the Strawberry Cheescake.. Mmmm jummy

Does anyone know if the Sigelei Kick will fit inside the TVS MOD https://www.fasttech.com/product/1400102
I have found dimensions for the TVS but not for the Sig Kick..maybe someone has this combo and can tell me whether it fits? If it doesn't fit I can just buy a fuse (Smoktech, Holocron Labs or Kamry)
Generally any mechanical device that will fit an 18650 can use that kick by going to an 18490 or 18500.

I'm going to write FT and an angry letter every day till my MVP arrives! It's been almost 24 hours since i placed my order and it hasn't even crossed the pacific yet! This will keep me busy at the very least.

LMAO sounds good.

You should have gone to a US Mom and Pop vendor, they would drive to your neighbourhood overnight then crawl on their knees the final mile holding your purchase on a velvet cushion and that's no mean feat for a little old lady.

I probably wouldn't hand a newb a 1300. I think most would be more comfortable with a smaller form. I think that is the main attraction for cigalikes. I would go with a 650 and most people on here have said the evod clones from FT work fairly well. Also that EU to US adapter in the kit you listed is just one more thing to break or end up lost. Go with a straight US plug.
