The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[MVB1]

You are right, I would expect those decorative slots to be relatively prominent. I'm talking about every other edge on it, the top ring corners, the raised tubes around the buttons, everything on mine is VERY sharp. The decorative slots in the telescope tubes where the letting is at are actually the least sharp of all the edges on mine.

No. It sounds as if yours did indeed skip a step in manufacturing. All the other edges on mine have a very slight bevel on them. The tube around the fire button is the closest to being sharp, but I have to rub my finger across it with some pressure for it to not feel smooth. (The bevels on the + and - buttons are visible, as is the top ring bevel.)

Perhaps others that have the SVD (even not from FT) can chime in on the finish on theirs?

If I had taken your advise, I would have purchased more batteries. When I asked you about one's to buy, you had no answer for that. As for you saying these "Wont work" with what I bought, means just that, don't work. So, if he called ya a liar, then technically he is correct based off of your feedback, then you come to say they will work.. I'll trust Myk as he seems to know what he is talking about and not some random poster.

When i said the ICR ''protected'' batt wont work,i should have said they wont work as well as the IMR high drain safe cmemisrty batts do,its pretty simmple,IMR batts are recomended for use in VV/WW mods and mechs as well,end of story.

@MKY:

No need too be name calling me here,you called me a liar,i think you are too upset and need too calm down a bit.BTW...i read in your previous pots and you stack cheap Ultrafire batts in the Vamo...this is NOT SAFE and you say i dont know what im talkn about,you need too relax.

I'm letting everything else slide at the wishes of others (and UntamedRose ) because it will go nowhere other than a war.
But this needs cleared up because it is a safety issue wrongfully attributed to me.

I have never stacked any batteries in any ecigs and have never told anyone to stack.
I don't even own any batteries that could be stacked in a Vamo. I'm one of the ones who doesn't fully trust batteries with "fire" in the name.
I think what you must've misunderstood was I pointed out that FT sells Vamo kits with 2 ICR18350's and I am sure people are stacking them yet we're not hearing of explosions going on. I would expect some explosions to eventually happen because I'm sure some people are buying those 2 18350 kits with no idea of the danger involved and won't be taking precautions.
If I ever did stack it would be AW IMR18350 going by what's available today, but I don't plan on stacking because I get all the power I need with a VV/VW mod and 18650s much cheaper and safer.

My advice on stacking,
Don't, but if you must, learn all you can from as many sources as you can beforehand. Then use the safest, best quality batteries possible from a reliable vendor.

Anyone have any experience with the actual pipes for smoking tobacco on fasttech?
like:
$8.38 Aluminum Bamboo Shaped Cigar Smoking Pipe - black / 29.2cm in length at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I can't picture myself walking into the cigar bar with a lit cigar sticking up out of that. I suppose I could try to convince my friends there that are Harley riders that the bowl is a cylinder from a v-twin... Nope. (And you really don't want to smoke pipe tobacco in one of these -- it's metal and will heat up pretty fast, plus there could be lead in the aluminum; you don't want fire in contact with it.)

Now the "Cool God Pipe", on the other hand... Maybe just for the packaging!

Ok i apologize for saying you stack batts,i thought this was you ,your proflie has the same profile pic as the poster below,i guess im ...... off at you caliinf me an out right liar,i did not lie,i was trying too give help someone by saying the the IMRs work better than the ICR`s

I have also deleted the earlier post.

Quote from other poster below which i thought was you.

''If you are looking for a battery that fits, works well and has good length of time between charges, give the Ultrafire XSL 18650 2600mah a try. They are 68mm long and fit the Vamo well.
For stacking, I use the Efest 18350's. They seem to drive the Vamo better than others I've tried''.

BTW:

Tips:

Batteries - We recommend only using the approved AW brand 18350 and 18490 with extension cap in the ProVari Mini. All of the batteries that we sell on our website have been tested to work with the ProVari Mini and these are the only cells you should use. Using the wrong battery will void your warranty and could damage the unit. Never use magnets on top of your batteries as this is very dangerous and will void all warranties.

There is a big difference between all the different batteries on the market and a lot of testing has been done on these various batteries. The reason we recommend using AW high drain cells is because these cells can output more current providing the ProVari with the power it needs to operate properly. There are a number of batteries that will cause issues including the Trustfire, Ultrafire and other brands. These batteries cannot handle higher current output and the battery will turn off while in use or cause a low battery alert much sooner than it should because the batteries have a high internal resistance. Please make sure you get the proper AW batteries to use in the ProVari Mini to avoid problems.

guys, whats the difference between the Ego E Cig Batteries and the EGO-T E Cig batteries on fasttech?
and are the evod tanks on there good?

Reliable local vendors here also sell metal pipes, I think as long as the metal doesnt have anything dangerous in it, it seems to be fine.

 

[MVB1]

Bump

anyone? Thanks!

You could get a "901/808D battery to 510 atomizer adapter" from MadVapes, then all of the FastTech 510 threaded clearomizers would work.

But how would you know if there was something dangerous in the metal? FastTech sells these as cigar smoking pipes, not tobacco smoking pipes, so they could be perfectly safe with cigars but unsafe with tobacco in the bowl.

Plus, it's a very small bowl. Probably more suited to, um, certain non-tobacco products...

I imagine these "reliable local vendors" will source from the same factories as FT unless the US has some odd companies producing Chinese style pipes at vastly higher prices.

so kind of you to answer!

Came in. The looks great on a AGR+, it clears the fill plug and matches it perfectly, and REALLY gives it a nice, finished look.

I threw the on a RSST, looks nice and gives it a nice feel, that little bit of a adjustment helps when you are trying to keep that perfect angle to keep your wick wet.

The I got just to have in the kit, never know when you are going to need one.

The I immediately threw two of in a double barrel for laughs. The Vamo at 15 watts can barely deliver enough for it to hit, so that experiment is going to have to wait till my Mech gets here, but otherwise they are working fine, I might punch some holes in one and throw it in the AGR+ and give it a go.

Came in. The View attachment 239907 looks great on a AGR+, it clears the fill plug and matches it perfectly, and REALLY gives it a nice, finished look.

I ordered a few of those, saw I got a discount and then had to see how many more to get a real discount. I stayed with a few.
I know they won't fit on my V9 but I'm going to modify something to make one fit, they feel very nice in the mouth.

So 10ohms worth of coils?
Does that read as 2.5ohms or 1.25ohms?
I bet it would take some time to heat up. When I had 2 3ohm ribbon coils going for 1.5ohms in the V9 it took a while to get it heated up. It's much faster with 32ga wire.

Yeah they really are a great drip tip.

The double barrel is reading at 1.2 on the Vamo. It heats up after a couple of long drags (as in, physically hot to the touch), but it's not giving me nearly as much vapor as the double barrel with just two single coil Boges does.

You "could" use a protected Li-Ion battery in your regulated mods if you were only using lower power settings. However, once you attempt to use higher power by adjusting the power settings, you can put stress on those batteries, as they are not designed to have burst energy release like IMR batteries are. Some regulated mods recognize the protective circuits in protected batteries as a short and may not fire, from what I've been told.

Hust trying too help:

You also can use IMR batteries in a mechanical mod. Arguably as safe or safer than a protected battery, but they would not have the extended battery capacity for long battery time like a protected battery generally has. See, there are tradeoffs with both types of chemistry.

[mute42]

I thought this was the FastTech thread, not the confuse everyone about batteries thread...

Here, I use these in all my mods.

When in doubt just get these
Panasonic CGR18650CH
4.9/5.0 on the reviews
Enough Reviews to choke a horse, and the most popular battery on the site

The only exception is a Sub Ohm mechanical, but at that time learn from a sub ohm thread.

Mute, I so agree.

If I have to read just one more battery post in this thread, I'm going to throw a major little old lady hissy fit....




Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Pretty please?

 

[spartanstew]

I just stack 20 of these

 

[gully]

Little old lady hissy fits can be quite fun to watch

All that experience often makes for an impressive tirade.
