vape mail! It's mostly for my wife, she is willing to try making the switch, but only "if it's pretty". I also got some dk-tab, but it's not nearly as exciting.

What is that? Be specific please... it's precious and I need something unique like that. Right now I stealth vape because I get all kinds of sly looks from people like I am doing something illegal when I am walking my dog and vaping :/

I'm looking to get another cheap (but good) beater mod from FastTech. I'm looking for reliability and rugged durability. These are are the 2 I am currently looking at: The Sentinel M16 and the Private V2. Anybody have any stories on them good or bad? This will be mainly for work where I use and abuse them. I want something that if dropped or otherwise used and abused can still be counted on. Just don't want to waste the money (or the extended time waiting on them) if it's well known by the experts on here that they aren't good ones. Thanks for any help.

In our defense, MOST of that cast is NOT from NJ

I've got the Sentinel and the threads are not so great. Read the reviews, you'll find out more... reviews on Fasttech and reviews on ECF, just search SENTINEL. To be clear, I like the Sentinel, use it daily, but the threads are poor quality and my topper is going to stay on it forevermore as I've already got a mate that scrapped them when changing up toppers.

You aren't really telling anyone anything they don't already know, but if it makes you feel better about your purchases then have at it.

In the meantime, I'm sitting here puffing on an evil FT purchased Evod clone right now and loving it. Well worth the $2.65 I paid as were the others I got with it. If we wanted to pay an extra $4 for a Kanger label then we would do just that.

Yes, you are enjoying a clone or a fake of the real thing. You paid $2.65 for a fake and I paid $20.00 for a 5 pack of the real Evods. If mine arrived damaged I could return them. Can you? There are more then 750 pages here and about 200 of them are horror stories. The fact is the evil Evod clone you are vaping was advertised as a Evod. Some truth in advertising would be nice.

no flavour just pure pg :eek:

anyway thanks for telling me where you got them! i was actually looking at the 1300mah fatboy battery from fasttech is that much bigger? i too like small ecigs but the battery i bought is very long! a really nice vape tho. ego c upgrade :) are cartos hard to use? they always seemed like a little bit of effort to me haha :oops:

Un-flavored juice doesn't taste to bad. Just a little bitter. At 100% PG you get the least amount of vapor thus the stealth.

A 1300mah is the largest battery you can get and the mini me is the smallest battery you can get so yes, there is quite a bit of difference in the two. If you look at the FT descriptions, it will tell you the length of the device. The mini me is 6cm and the 450 is 6.2cm the 1300 fatty is 8.7 cm. Carto's are the most simple device to use but they don't have all that much vape time as they hold around 1ml. This set up isn't ideal for as a primary device for most people. It is more a back up or stealth rig. Most people need a battery with more vape time (and therefore bigger). I know an e-cegg feels odd in your hand because of it's size but you do get used to it. That being said, I find myself grabbing a 650 twist most times when I'm headed out the door for less than 4 hours do to it's smaller size. Longer than that I grab the MVP.

From the top down:

Atty : https://www.fasttech.com/products/1412107

Battery : https://www.fasttech.com/products/1376905

She seems to like the setup, so now it's time to start piecing together a plethora of colors. Never have I been so happy to shop for my wife.

Why yes, I can return them.

Got a link for that 5 pack of Kanger brand Evods for $20? I'd like to score on that one too!!!

Thank you. Well keeping in mind my criteria what mech mods do they have that you would recommend? Aside from the K100, I already have one of those. It has to be a mech though for work. Anything fancier might make people nervous when I go through security screening at work :)

I've got the Sentinel and the threads are not so great. Read the reviews, you'll find out more... reviews on Fasttech and reviews on ECF, just search SENTINEL.

If you get the all brass Sentinel clone there's nothing wrong with the threads. It's the aluminum version that has threading issues. I have the Sentinal V3, (same as the M16 I think, but different look) and it's a beast. Heavy and solid, I would worry more about my toes than the mech if I dropped it.

RULE 1 OF FASTTECH: Nothing is name brand unless it specifically says "<brand name>" in the title of the item.

Examples

Real: https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...ger-protank-ii-clearomizer-w-pyrex-glass-tank

Clone: https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005771/1448003-protank-2-bcc-clearomizer-3-5ml


They may freely use terms like Protank, Evod, etc, but unless you see the BRAND, it's probably not genuine.

Ugh this Hong Kong Post delay is killing me. I have a few orders from fasttech stuck at "arrival" for over a week already. But thanks to this delay, I decided to purchase me a shiny new provari and couldn't be more happy :) I do wish my packages could hurry up though as it's money spent. If this keeps up much longer I will have to try to pursue a refund.

You'll probably want to wait for more to comment, but I've got a TVS and it's as sturdy as can be. Heavy, a nice heavy hitter - like my Silver Bullet as far as I am concerned, the button is recessed INSIDE the tube, so you have to put a fingertip in to get it to fire - I thought I'd hate that, but I LOVE it... Read the reviews to see if anyone has had issues :/ $17.38 TVS Mechanical MOD / E-Cigarette Battery Compartment - gold at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping It's gaudy, but it's in my rotation and I haven't noticed any issues.

If you get the all brass Sentinel clone there's nothing wrong with the threads. It's the aluminum version that has threading issues. I have the Sentinal V3, (same as the M16 I think, but different look) and it's a beast. Heavy and solid, I would worry more about my toes than the mech if I dropped it.

This may be 100% correct, my Sentinel was this one http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005307/1427800-sentinel-m16-mod-telescoping-e-cigarette-battery and I agree about the toes, they are as heavy as can be.

Is there any difference other than looks and materials between the chi you clones? I noticed they differ in price. I was wondering if the most expensive one which is sold out is the best version. I noticed the all brass one is only 18490 mode.

The solid brass one (27.77) can be used with 3 different batt sizes. I would get it, which I did, or the SS version, which I did, if I were going to get a FT Chi. The cheaper ones are plated brass.....ugh! I wouldn't say the one listed as sold out was the best option just because of the price. I think they just had issues with the supplier when they were trying to offer it. If both SA versions were available, I would still choose the $27 one.
