Lot's of new folks trying to navigate that super user friendly experience known as the FastTechs search function.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that, lol.
It can be a bit of a challenge to find something because the Search isn't very robust at all

Moving it forward for every one just tuning in to our fun filled program:



fasttech Misses. Some reported items to think twice about. Carrot Emperor (Buyer Beware)

YMMV



-This vivi clone is a dog: run away https://www.fasttech.com/search?1314100

-These CE6 clearos have been reported hit or miss by several. The ones I got with a battery were fine but the six pack gives a nasty taste. https://www.fasttech.com/p/1305000

-These 650 mAh batteries have been reported to be poor performers $23.87 650mAh Rechargeable Battery for E-Cigarette (4-Pack) 4-pack - for Q3 / Q4 / Q6 / Q7 at fasttech - Worldwide Free Shipping

-Several of the needle tip bottles have reported to leak or the needle slips or comes off and it does not lock on. Luer lock tops do not fit.


If people post things that DON'T work out I will add it to this list and re-post it every so often.

I think people could use a bump from your post as well Nip. Lot's of new folks trying to navigate that super user friendly experience known as the FastTechs search function.

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1360004 My Vivi Nova V7 comes with horrible burnt tasting heads. The body is really nice with a great finish so it is a nice buy if you don't mind replacing/rebuilding the heads that come with it. I really like mine with my rebuilt heads.

I have noticed that most of the people having problems with burnt tasting clearos from FT seem to have that same style head with the long metal top post. Just something I started to notice after getting that vivi nova.

Whats the verdict on the EVOD Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer (1.5mL)
https://www.fasttech.com/product/1365600

I read some good and bad about them. I just paid 2 1/2 times that price for the real ones today at my local vape store.

Also will the EVOD Electronic Cigarettes Atomizer Heating Core (5-Pack) fit in the Kanger Protank
$4.58 EVOD Electronic Cigarettes Atomizer Heating Core (5-Pack) 5-pack - 2.4

I saw where someone here started a list on FT products but I can't find it now, tried searching but no luck since this thread moves really fast..Thanks

I have had one in rotation for a little over a month now with 4 kanger evods. It preforms the same with kanger heads. The finish on it is not nearly as good as the kangers, it is about 1/3 the age of my kangers and looks about 5 times as beat up. My kangers still look new but the paint on the knockoff is chiping off everywhere. I will be sticking with kangers if I ever need to order more evods personally. Also a few people in this threads have been getting broken evods from FT.

I bought some 10ml needle tip bottles in my last order and they were fine, no leaks or loose needles, the rubbery bit that goes on the end of the needle is a bit flimsy but otherwise they were OK.

Same here. Mine Are fine also.

Yes the 10s are fine the 50 ML ones are a problem.

I'll 4th this one, 10ml bottles are good, and the dripper is a tad (maybe 0.5ga) larger than most too!

So noted. You were not the only one who said the needles slip.

Actually I did at one point in one of the fasttech threads LOL. I have shot the needle clean off into what I was trying to fill before. Though usually they leak around the connection between the bottle and cap long before that happens.

Has anyone ordered from fasttech using a vanillavisa ? I don't use paypal, and I don't use my reg. CC card online.

Pm me if possible if not i'll check back through out the night..

When you purchase on the Fasttech website and choose Paypal as the method of payment, it redirects you to the Paypal website. From there, you can either 1) sign into your Paypal account and pay 2) enter your preferred card # without signing in and it transmits via Paypal. BUT, it will warn you that if you choose a card payment option, Fasttech may charge something like 3% of the total cost/checkout amount for processing. I have never had this 3% added to my bill, but I have always signed into my Paypal account to pay. Hope this helps!

I'm reading that many of you buy the top-wick clearos, but I have been buying these for a few months:

$2.48 CE5 Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer - with scale indication at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

These are center-wicked. I'm pretty sure it's carto-type batting in the center, not SS mesh or silica wick. A few helpful words about these - 1) These are disposable. You can't get into the clearo without breaking it apart, at which point, it's not useable. But, I soak mine in vodka or hot water between flavors and can get about 2+ weeks per clearo if cleaning them/changing juices or 3+ weeks using the same juice over and over in them 2) If you soak them in vodka, don't leave them in too long because it seems to melt/break down the glue that holds the base onto the clearo causing them to leak. I soak mine about 30 mins tops 3) It takes about 2 fillings to break them in to get rid of the cotton-y/muted taste - that does pass.

I did the same also, ordered the SS VAMO v2, the PD's and the Nitecore I2, basically making my own kit up. Now, it just needs to gets here!!!

Note: built my kit myself, because I wanted the PD's, and you can't get that as part of their premade kits. The kits have been out for a little while, the ones w/ the CH's.
I ordered some of the V2 Nitecore/CH panny kits the day they listed them back in May. The whole listed stainless but you receive chrome mix-up in discussion... Good ol FT spec drama :p The chrome finish has been pretty solid(goes with me everywhere) and the supplied pannys deliver me 5ml+ daily for 2 days between charges. The code "BFL" takes 5% off any stand alone batteries in your order.

Thanks to both of you! This will be my first upgrade, wanted to make sure to get everything I need in one order.

Now I wish they weren't out of Protanks. Was going to give that a go.
Maybe a good thing. We currently have 40 votes in "I suggest you" for Fast Tech to add the Protank 2 ASAP. If you're interested in one please vote here ==>

I pulled the trigger prematurely on the V3 kit because I listened to a US vendor say there would be no SS build of the V3. I'm in no way disappointed in the performance or looks of my chrome over brass version, but I would have got the SS if I thought it was forthcoming in the future (now).

I hear others that recoil/wick the ce4+/6 vivi heads from FT but out of the many I've taken apart it doesn't seem like a good idea. Once used the insert where head threads to base becomes roached internally and doesn't look worthy of anything but the inside of a Glad bag.
For reference VIVI NOVA and CE6
But, for the most part they all perform decent ranging from 2.2-2.8 ohms. ViVis seem to work best with a flavor wick removed but there was a fine line between wicking well and flooding so YMMV. I could go on forever (didn't I already O;o) in the variances(long,short,or multi wick, spring or not, tank fitment to base) of the CE6 but all in all they work fine and treated mostly as disposables.
