first time order, an evod, protank 2 (clone, looks like a duritank clone really), trident clone, a couple hangsen juices.

waiting on the trident to restock. wish i had thrown in a few more evods and a mech mod though.

Now shows shipped, however they left off the Trident until they get re-stocked

I have that 1300mAh fat eGo battery in my wishlist right now. I delayed ordering it when the scanning started. Is it a good value for $8.08?

Take me with a grain of salt; I'm a newbie.

It looks like a good value for a fixed voltage battery. That's what I was using exclusively until two days ago when I got a Vision Spinner vv 1100 mAh. Now I alternate between the fixed and variable voltage devices, both with Protank IIs on them. The vv is much more pleasurable. I can "tune" the output to optimize the flavor of whatever juice I'm using. The extra ten bucks will probably give me a lot of enjoyment for the life of the battery, which I'm guessing is 6 to 12 months.

I think its great. I've had them about a month now and one will last me ALL day long. They are short but fatter than the evods I use as toppers but not so much you'd notice. Fit and finish is excellent.
They have 5 click lock and 10 second protection and the LED stays lit while charging and goes off when done.

Glad you got your stuff mate. Gotta say sucks about the charger. I hope you got a spare wart. Just be careful with charging cords if you try to switch things up. Make sure the cords are rated for the right battery.

I just opened my first support ticket on FastTech:
--------------------------------------------------
Received 150mA chargers. Product description said it was 1000mA charger. Picture showed a 500mA. I expected either a 500mA or a 1000mA charger.

150mA is too weak. I need a higher output. Can you correct this problem? I ordered and received 5 chargers. All 5 chargers are incorrect. I need 5 chargers with at least 500mA output like the picture shown with the product description.

Sorry about the photo quality. I need a better camera.
-------------------------------------------------

Can anyone tell me what to expect next. It's a total investment of $7.60 and it's not like I won't be able to find a use for the 150mA chargers. It's the principle of the thing. I wanted the wall chargers to match-up to the eGo starter kits. Everything I've read says 500mA wall chargers are ideal for the eGo battery.

How often do you use your spinners? Mine are a year old and still work wonderfully. I have three that I use back and forth to work and when going out. I also use them as backups when I am charging batteries for my SVD. The x350 just do not last long at all. The SVD seems to like them as an appetizer.

I pretty much chain vape when I'm home,,,,,,,which means I get about 5 hours out of a pretty new battery,,,,,,,which means I'm charging each battery at LEAST once a day (I have 2 in rotation),,,,,,it's not just the spinners,,,,,I've had the same experience with Volt X2's,,,,,,,they last a bit longer (not VV), but I'm still charging at least once a day,,,,,,,,,

all my ego sized batteries last about 3 months before they fall dead,,,,one of my spinners got just 2 months, but I'm pretty sure that was my fault,,,,,,,

hence the move to a device with an 18650 battery.

They may ask you to ship the item to their Florida facility. They will either refund the purchase or give you credit, I would guess a refund because it wasn't what you ordered. They were pretty good about my threading issue on a Protank but they do take a bit to respond - you know they have all kinds of impatient customers unfamiliar with international shipping and inspection holdups sending emails asking endless questions about individual orders being stuck in HK.

Any one try any of the ego batteries? I'm wondering if they are labeled ego-t? I'm curious I'd my b&m stores here order from there

The fatties are great. I've had 2 of them for a couple months now. Fwiw, they take exactly 4 hours to charge from dead.

I'm still upset that they haven't included a ss one yet. I'd order a couple more if they did.

A hurricane (typhoon) bigger than Katrina is heading towards Hong Kong. Just a heads up for folks.

 

[CommaHolly]

Well this just got a little worse. China post is refusing battery shipments now. Have an order with 1 two pack in it with some other stuff. I guess at some point maybe my crap will just reroute back to FT and I will eventually get a refund.

Per Jasmine at FT:
**New Update 9/20/2013** China Post now having the same problem like Hong Kong Post, all packages containing batteries are not allowed to ship. For orders that shipped via China Post previously, they will be returned within 24 hours and we will contact the customers for further process.

Apologize for the inconvenience caused.

ok, I'm confused,,,,,

originally, it was talked about that only orders with LARGE amounts of batteries wouldnt' ship,,,,,

now they're saying ANY batteries won't ship?

sigh,,,,,gimme my refund and I'll go order a provari.

Looks like it'll be a cat one by the time it gets to HK. It's one impressive lookin' storm though.

I really, really liked the form factor but the silver head kept popping off and before I could get a drop of blue Lock Tight on it I tore one of the wires off the board. Haven't gotten back to try to solder it yet because once yo go VV it's hard to go back even with an unregulated battery, which I believe I discovered this is.

I so wish they made a high capacity short chubby VV.

I was going to order a provari after Christmas,,,,,,,

but I'm down to one Ego battery, and my Vamo looks like it might not BE here by Christmas,,,,,,,

rather than spend way too much on an Ego here at a brick and mortar, I might just bite the bullet and get a Provari NOW,,,,,,,,,,,

While waiting for my SVD, batteries and charger, I ended up buying the Vamo V3 SS off ebay and the NITECORE i4 V2 and batteries from Edison Brite. Sure, I paid a bit more. But I should have my items in today or Monday at the latest. My Kgo batteries are about to bite the dust.

Last week I got my DYI stuff, all sorts of flavored juices from various stores, Vision Vivi Novas, IClear30s, and extra heads and extra 18350 & 18650 batteries. This should hold me over until my order from FastTech gets here.

I had an order that was accepted on the 5th, processed through sort facility on the 15th, hit San Fran on the 16th, and was delivered today in North Carolina. It had two 30ml bottles of juice with assorted drip tips.

I also have an order with 5 30ml bottles of juice only, that was accepted on the 10th, and was processed through sort facility today (the 20th). Usually when it processes through the sort facility, it means its on the plane to San Fran. At least that has been my experience with it. I will know for sure by tomorrow. I will post an update.

With the juice order I received today, its my opinion that they are more concerned with batteries than juice at this time.

The order with the 5, 30 ml bottles of juice hit San Fran today. Looks like I may get this after all. I just placed another order of 5, 30 ml bottles. Curious to see how this order goes
