The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[Skypea]

I have been eyeballing the Eroll for a few weeks but not now they raised the price almost $30 it is $72 now for one, oh well.

That really chaps my hide! Out of my wishlist with you stupid eroll. I bought mine from Good Prophets and was going to get another from FT. No reason to now, it's cheaper at Good Prophets and I get his awesome service.

I looked at those as well, they are NOT high drain. Max current draw is 3.24 amps. That is not ideal to be using in any daily used mod drawing greater than 80% of the spec'ed 3.24A. Just cause they can draw a max 3.24 doesn't mean you should, those specs are almost certainly under some other parameters defining "duration" of that max draw. Performing at the max spec's of anything will shorten the life, or increase chances of failure. I'll wait for a better option.

Hmmm, I was told they were. According to the specifications as well. Of course then again I could be wrong but says 10A as well as the reviews and discussion.

EDITED. SORRY JUST REALIZED YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE 18500

I have some Liqua coming too, Tiramisu and Chocolate. I hope these are better than the Liqua French Pipe I tried a while back, blech. And a couple folding tablet/iPad/iPod stands.

I was going to get a mini Android quad core stick PC to hook up to my TV, but I decided to get that from geekbuying.com instead of fasttech.

I got my Liqua juices in yesterday.

Shipped 07/17, arrived 07/22 (my birthday) so turn time to Texas from FT was pretty good.

I'm trying the Tiramisu right now. It may grow on me, for now it will work in a pinch if I run out of my normal favorite juices. Definitely much better than the French Pipe was, lol.

Can't beat the price, as far as that goes.

Wow, eVic took a jump too.

I'm glad I got a second one when I did in case this hits other people selling cheap. I'm sorry Joyetech, I like my eVics but they're not worth what you think they are.

 

[Myrany]

Do we have a list somewhere of which fasttech mechs are clones of which other mechs?

I am just getting going with mechs and a list like that would help me a ton when looking up information on how they work and decision making.

Same for rebuildables.

I just got one of these. "Omega" clone, mechanical. For $14.93 it's well worth it. Nothing fancy, it just works.
it is kind of weird at first without a button but I'm getting used to it.
Omega Mod Mechanical Electronic Cigarette Battery Compartment

I also got a EGO 850mAh Rechargeable Battery for Electronic Cigarette . It looks like a regular EGO battery but you change the battery out, a 14500. The reason I got it was to use up a bunch of extra 14500s that I had.
They almost made it Woden proof though. I had a time getting the bottom off. I felt like a monkey in a psychology experiment.
I finally just worried it off. (but got no nanner)
Too much trouble. I don't recommend it.

I got this email from Vaporgod about a month ago. I guess it is starting to roll out.

Dear Valued VaporGod Customer

Joyetech Price Increases Coming

We have not raised prices on ANY of our equipment since we started over 2 years ago. Unfortunately Joyetech has recently announced plans to ra ise their prices from 40 - 90% on some items. Every Joyetech item will see an increase and it will hit every supplier that carries Joyetech.

We will continue to provide Joyetech equipment but we will have to raise prices to counteract Joyetech's increases. At the same time we will begin to offer more affordable substitute options.

I apologize for this increase but it's out of our control. We wanted to give you as much time as possible to stock up at our current prices before they go up. I'd strongly suggest stocking up ASAP!

Thanks
VaporGod Support

Wow. Looks like I'm jumping the eGo-C ship to RBAs and mods at the right time.

That omega clone looks nice! I am going to have to look up how to fire it

Can you let me know how smooth the Omega is to use. Is the pull down hard to do? I am disabled in the hands so I need something that will slide easily.

I ordered my friend, Steve, a kit. It's the first of my packages to do the loop...

Happy belated birthday! Best wishes.

Here's the $17 TVS Diablo clone. After a thorough cleaning last night, I fired it up today. I've only taken 30 or so pulls, so I have no idea about the voltage drop. I'll use a tankometer eventually (translation: I can't find it). This was an accidental addition to a larger order I placed. I meant to order the brass Sentinel clone and wasn't paying enough attention. Oh well. The one really curious feature is that there's no lock button. If you place it on a table, it fires.

That's too bad, was thinking about getting that one but will pass. You need to pick up the brass Sentinel clone man, after a day I prefer it to my K101 and KTS Storm. Heavy and solid. The floating pin and adjustable button are awesome, and even when not locked it doesn't fire when set down. It's even nicer in person than the picture (aren't they all?).

I did...the day after I realized I moronically ordered the wrong item. Ha! My Chintenel has shipped and should arrived later this week.

Lol. Hope you dig it as much as I do. Wonder if the threads are the same size as the one you just got, so you can use the locking bottom from the Sentinel on it.

Those aren't considered IMR.. BUT are just as good. They are a hybrid that has safer chemistry without being protected, and are high drain. Great batteries, and a great price. I especially like them in variable power mods like the VAMO, but I also use them in mechs.

What do you mean by "not considered IMR". Lithium Ion Manganese (Li-Mn) chemistry = IMR Those Pannys are Li-Mn/Li-Ion hybrid. Just sayin'

Fine.. hybrid IMR then lol. I was told before they weren't considered IMR, but I will concede that you're probably right.

I couldn't get my Sigelei Stomp to work in mine,because of tube diameter. I have a Kick Extension Sleeve for my Bolt. It has the same threads as the Sentinel clone. I put the Extension at the top of my V3. The Stomp fits and works perfect! Looks pretty good too.
Great.

Click on the first NCR (it's the only one that talks about what's in it) and it doesn't mention anything but Li-ion.

All the manganese they list are coins. I thought "hybrid" meant that it acted like "safer chemistry" not that it's an actual blend. Just like some people call them "protected" because they do have protection but it's not the type of low drain limiting protection one normally thinks of.
