So if you are new to rebuildables and would buy the Taifun or kayfun Lite, would these pre-wired coil/wick be a good idea? Or is it better to coil and wick separately? Seems like the coils last for a long time so you'd just replace the wick by itself later right? Trying to figure the best approach here.

IMO premade coils are a waste. It's really not difficult to wrap a coil, and if you're going to be using rebuildables it's something you need to know how to do anyways. Plus, I've never had a pre-made coil that works as well as one that I wrapped myself.

As for replacing the wick, you definitely need to wrap your own coils to be able to replace the wick without replacing the wire. Most factory-wrapped coils are wrapped tightly around the wick which precludes being able to remove the wick and replace it.

Ok. Thank you for the feedback.

I received my last two orders via Singapore in just less than 3 weeks for both. I have a Nemesis clone coming the same method and it looks to be the same time frame. I ordered a Chi You and opted for the epacket shipping 3 days ago and it has already shipped overseas.

You can log into your account on FT and look up your orders.

:: still waiting. My tracking is worthless for sp and I paid for the best shipping. I think I ordered 3 mods. I forget.

If you use SP that way is a waste of mouse clicks. Unless my package hasn't really been shipped and just sitting in a FT warehouse for 10 days pretending to be shipped.

I got my first order from Fasttech and everything was great. I placed the order on 11/25/2013 and it was delivered 12/18/2013.
My order was a Nemesis MOD Clone, Igo L, ohm meter, SS drip tip, and kick.

This is my first mechanical mod, and my first RBA.
The first thing I did was pull the Igo l apart and wash very well, there was oil or soot in side both drip tips. Once that was done I put it all back together.
I've been watching videos since I ordered the thing so it only took a couple of tries to build a 2.0 ohm coil. Dropped a battery in the Nemesis screwed on the Igo L and enjoyed. Later I added and adjusted the kick and it appears to be working as expected.

I'd buy from them again, in fact I already did, I have a KFL clone on the way.

How are you liking it? It's what I am waiting on.

I'm digging it! It's tiny in 18350 mode. I got some 18490s on the way. It looks great with my AGA T2.


Sent from this thing using that thing

not all premade coils are a waste. the R/NR ones are good for people who use an ithaca or similar device and don't have a zapper. or people who preffer not to use a zapper. but i agree that premade resistance ( only ) wires are a waste considering how easy is to wrap a coil.

True, though I consider the entire r/nr setup a waste.

Well, my forlorn computer mouse finally arrived yesterday! For those of you who have not been playing along, I originally ordered this mouse on July 8th. Out of stock, reorder, package returned etc. and over five months later I have it resting peacefully on my computer desk.

I must say that it is a very nice mouse and as long as it last a while it was a very good deal. It is nicely ergonomic and I like that it is almost entirely covered by rubber or a rubberized coating. Very comfortable for my sore hands. Now I just need to get used to having a back button again and not having to clothespin my mouse cord in a loop.


Just for War-hawk I'll put up the link https://www.fasttech.com/p/1364602

Hmmm... Taifun GS. Might look pretty trick on my ePipeMod.

$25.39 Taifun GS Style Rebuildable Atomizer (2.7-3.0mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I was thinking the exact same thing! I just hope at 15mm it's small enough to fit into the cover (which takes up to 15mm, but... yea)

I just wish it was a bit shorter.

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy the mouse is home, the mouse is home!!!!!!!!

Does Fasttech sell any 70% or more VG liquids. Almost all I looked at are 70% PG and there isn't a way to search filter by PG/VG ratio.

$65.00 Slimzy Mechanical Mod w/ Mini ATTY - 1*14500 / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

$65????? On the FT forum Geek said it's due to MAP (Minimum Allowed Pricing). That freaking sucks because if FT is starting to bow to manufacturer's demands on pricing then the future is dim.

They have been doing the same with Inokin and Smok products for a good while. That doesn't stop them from also bringing the heat! (Heat is cheap stuff). LOL

Good point. Love your sig, BTW. I got into it a bit with some of the HEM.com ...... on another thread. Extremely distasteful people.

GAH! Every morning I check on my packages that mostly should all be now coming from LA but they've in the CA-TX limbo 5+ days. "Leaving LA" is much better than "Leaving Singapore" but still- I really want that little iTaste EP. It's not variable, it's a cheapie, but it's red and cute and I want to play with it! (not to mention the atomizers on their way as well)
