The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[emus]

Hey, just read your thread in the FT forum about genesis atomizers. Like i said before i started vaping with a RSST and then went through the whole spectrum. I won't touch a genesis device again, i like to fill a tank and vape. Maybe clean and change the wick every week, more than that and it becomes another chore for me

Get yourself a KF type atomizer, i've used my r91 for 3 weeks now and it hits all the right spots for me YMMV tho

That's what everybody wants to do. That's why no body can get em. Sold out.

I ordered the reduced chamber genesis pulse-G. I think it will be quite good. My 5 genny styles are working quite nice but I still intend to try KFL. Not crazy about the plastic tank though.

Well, I'm like you for the most part... I'm a plug-n-vape type. I can't rely on something that is finicky if that's the only thing standing between me and cigarettes so I stick with what works for the most part. I've found a real comfortable spot with the Aspire tanks. Man I just love them... I managed through all this time with MT3s, Protanks and iClears. They work well enough, but again, finisky sometimes. The Aspire based atomizers have pretty much taken away the last little bit of pain.

That being said, I'm always reaching for something, afraid I'll miss out on some incredible atomizer that's better than anything else so I buy these things to tinker.
I cannot STAND messing around with dripping. If I could name one thing that totally pi@#$s me off, it's getting juice on my hands... or anywhere but the inside of a tank for that matter, so dripping isn't my game. I've played around with quite a few different atomizers and only 2 have worked like I think an atomizer should. One was the Ithaka, and one is my shiny new Fasttech "Rocket" , aka clone of a russian clone of a KF. It really works, and it really works well. One thing about it bugs me: it whistles when I vape. The Ithaka is an awesome performer, but it's like having a flathead Ford V8 in your daily driver... it does it's job SO well, but requires constant attention and tinkering. Bleh...
I can't rebuild a KF clone on the road, so I stick with Aspire tanks for most of my vaping and the Rocket when I'm sitting at my desk. Anything Genesis, Including my shiny new AIOS, has been a failure for me. Just no flavor. I find them relatively easy to setup and people say the coils last and last, but with no flavor, what is the point?
I consider myself relatively intelligent and able to follow instructions and directions, but I just can't get a setup to work well. I mean, I have followed Mojo's setup to the LETTER of detail on the AIOS (AIOS-T/D - YouTube) and bleh... no love at all, just mildly mediocre flavor.
Since I know I like the Rocket, I might actually try to get my hands on a real one... or at least an R91 like you have. What setup are you having the best luck with from a flavor perspective.. as in wick size, wire size and resistance? shoot us a picture of a nice, dry coil setup sometime if you get a chance. I stuck with the factory style loops that cover the wick holes... wicks really well and no flooding.

Got mine Friday. I'm just about to refill it for the 3rd time in less than 24hrs lol. Simple twisted 30g micro coil cotton build that's right @ 1ohm and it's flawless. I was an exclusive dripper and this thing is an amazing vape on my first build. My home brew is off the chain in this!!!

How is the build quality on the clone? There was someone that mentioned the adjustable airflow wasn't working, can you confirm if yours is working?

 

[CoolWhip2Go]

FT service is starting to stink!!! Taking forever to respond, shipments being returned to them, and making us wait longer. Plus their responses need to be decrypted.

 

[funkyZero]

Got lucky there! You may have received the last shipped free batt from FT.

Speaking of batteries and since we have a Fasttech supply issue...
Off topic a bit, but I thought the bargain hunters in the FT thread would like to know about a deal someone else posted on 30A Sony cells.
And by the way, if you haven't already, you may be interested in subscribing to this thread... people post deals as they find them:

That was on the UK FT thread if I recall and was the rocket KF clone, solution was o ring based but I can't remember what exactly.

They just made a huge change on their batt shipping policy so the returns could be a thing of the past.

It was in the RBA section of this forum guy was warning not to get the fasttch clone but get the real version

but By the tone,felt like he was one of those against clone guy's in disguise maybe

I also took notice no one in this thread was posting about even receiving one yet so felt he was suspect but not sure

Yes, even with the cost of shipping, batteries can be cheaper if one orders right

My medium end RTA from a USA vendor is good quality.

I changed the cotton today and forgot to take some pictures, i should get my KFL+ tomorrow and i'll go for the very same build so i'll update here with an imgur gallery or something

While i'm extremely pleased with the r91 i still believe the russian and the kfl are way overpriced. I mean, i bought these 2 because i got paid extra money from a raise that was due in july...would've waited to the clones if it weren't for that.
After saying that, albeit overpriced i feel that they live to the hype. I'm hoping that the clones are good enough so people are able to get a great vape experience without breaking bank, if it were for me authentic ones(or the russian) should be priced at 60 and be on the hands of every vaper.

Talking of the ithaka, today i cleaned the 2nd one i have after finishing a tank and couldn't bring myself to rebuild it knowing that i'll have a kfl in my hands tomorrow.
I loved the ithaka, but in my humble opinion the kfl family beats it in every important feature for me.

I didn't have time to play with it yesterday but I'm just now getting into it. For what it's worth I don't have an original for comparison but so far I don't see a reason too. It looks rad in person. The finish is simply amazing for the money on this one. To put different finish variants of the original aside the quality this particular finish(Semi-polished) leaves zero to be desired. The threading is well done and on par with the best clones I own. Now if it vapes half as good... more later

The airflow screw must be taken out completely to notice any change and even then it seems to make more of a sound difference than any extra airflow. That said, I like the draw on this the way it is and it performs very well.

No leaks but I did just run into a serious issue. I just went for a vape and fired it up. I heard something but no vape. After a few attempts and feeling clueless the switch heats up and I quickly unscrew. I take the kayfun apart. on the deck there is a SS block piece on the negative side that sits on the delrin. see pics here The inside of the "SS block" goes around the air channel. Well, this piece somehow turned on the delrin and the outside of the block came in contact with the side of the chimney and shorted thus hot panny attack.
I should have taken pics while I had it apart but I straightened it back up and put it back together because I couldn't wait to vape it again lol. So it looks like I will have to figure out a way to affix the block to the delrin so this doesn't happen again. This could be a YMMV or something they all do but I don't see this being too hard of a fix if it is. Other than this incident I'm a very happy with this performer.

Similar but not the same.

When I first started getting these Chinese clones, I noticed something that surprised me... and the Rocket that I got was exceptionally bad... I was finding small globs of material in places like holes and seams that had become encrusted. Those who are familiar with it know it as "swarf". It is waste accumulation from the grinding process, more specifically, it comes from improperly maintained coolant. I was surprised to find that they were actually grinding these things because that is normally associated with machining of higher tolerances.
Swarf is basically a mixture of the ground metal particles, dirt and sometimes loose filter material from the grinding coolant system. I suspect there may be some swarf plugging one of the passageways in yours. It is a water soluble usually. You could try totally removing all the parts and soaking it for a couple days and blasting at it with a can of computer air... or better yet, an Ultrasonic cleaner followed by air. It's worth a shot and might unplug whatever is in the passagway... that is, unless someone just didn't finish out the hole properly.
Oh, and for the curious who may have never seen the process, this is OD grinding on a centerless grinder. They are one of the simplest machines around, but very cool how they function: omicron Centreless grinder through pass - YouTube
