Placed an order Sunday evening. Still in processing. Ordered only in stock items and only 4 of those SKU's.
Guess just like here, they can have stocking issues. Still waiting for an IN STOCK Battery to appear before completing order. Oh well, so goes my luck.
Maybe they are awaiting canoe deliveries with all the flooding.

Something ... I have an order stuck in left Chicago since the 8th. I have tons of orders waiting for a flight over. One looks like it got through but it left San Fran and no update for 3 days which is just a bunch of PT2's.... :/

And no... I don't ever sleep!

I use the vivis for flavors I don't use all the time. Easy to keep them set aside & switch on a whim. The rba's I use for adv & flavors I use more often.

Several of us have had decent luck with this 2.0 Ml vivi clone. It is the only vivi I would recommend from FT. $3.69 Mini VIVI NOVA Detachable Electronic Cigarette Atomizer (2.0mL) - translucent at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I personally like the vape from the Kanger T-2. Similar full taste but warmer. Ft does not carry Kanger but
many have said this clone is on par with the original and original heads fit it. $2.88 T2 Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Clearomizer (2.4ml) - translucent / 2.2 I'll be trying some on my next order.

Why do I always have to get the broken one??

Against my better judgement I checked the status of my order. I had convinced myself to forget about it and when it showed up it would be a nice surprise, like a gift from a secret admirer.

Out of 5 products I chose ONE is marked ready to ship and the others are scheduled for either Friday or MONDAY!

MONDAY!!!

I just HAD to throw that VV USB passthrough on there. It was only $5. Now look what I did. Ruined it for everyone.....

Hey everyone! Longtime lurker, first time poster (in this thread at least). I've been researching between the Vamo and SVD that FT sells, and I've finally decided on the SVD, seems to be the more popular one (it has to be for a reason right?). I'm coming from an ego battery (just a regular ego-C Upgrade, not a twist). I have a protank2 that I want to use, but realized quickly that the ego battery isn't cutting it, even with the 1.8 ohm head.

To cut the story short, so far I have these in my cart.
$37.21 INNOKIN iTaste SVD
$15.05 Nitecore I2 Lithium Li-ion Ni-MH Ni-Cd Smart Battery Charger - US plug

I'm just wondering which battery I should buy. I've been reading about NCR18650B protected vs non protected, NCR18650A, NCR18650PDm etc... As of right now, I feel a little overwhelmed with the information, I'm not even sure I fully grasp a mod vs a mech mod.

I'm a vaping noob who just wants to enjoy a new way of vaping. If you recommend a different charger or anything else, any and all help is much appreciated! Thanks for your time.

I won't get in on the battery thing... that's been hashed out so many times already... I will say I got the NCR18650PD from fasttech and they are quality batteries and seem to last forever. I know the nitecore charger is one of the few that is highly recommended but I like the Xtar VP1 or the Efest LUC. The VP1 comes highly recommended by the flashlight geeks so that's what I went with. It's huge benefit to be able to see your actual battery voltages (LCD with status on both chargers) without having a meter out all the time. It will help you spot any anomalies in your batteries that could lead to an accident.
Also, throw one of these in your cart to try out, iclear 16 $3.00 Innokin iClear 16 Dual Coil Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizer (1.6ml) - translucent / 2.4
It's 3 bucks. I like to push them for anyone who hasn't at least tried them. I too was a Protank user until I finally tried these. The iclear 30 is also a very good performer if you don't like your vape quite as warm. Now days, I only use Protanks for known tank-crackers

Don't feel so bad I put my order in last Saturday and I have one item that is not scheduled to ship until next WEDNESDAY. Yep growing a little bit there.

Be wary of the nitecore. Apparently there are bad batches of them coming from fasttech. I got a bad one and it almost cooked my panasonic batts. It gets ......edly hot. My efest LUC charged them right up and stayed nice and cool. Im just hoping performance wont be degraded due to how hot they got. Bigtime thumbs down on fasttech for that one.

 

[Chablo]

Can't go wrong with a Protank or Protank 2 (I prefer the 2 because it's easier to clean, and you can use your own drip tip + you can rebuild your own coils if you want)

You also can't go wrong with an IGO-L, it's pretty cheap, and mine is actually working surprisingly well with the stock coils. (going to build my own soon though) ... it comes with some extra wick and wire to get you started.

So if I get a protank 2 from FT does everything needed to vape come with it? Anything else I should/need to purchase?

 

[MarLoda]

Welcome MarLoda! I had to lurk quite longer than a while before I was able to post in here! I see a few like you get in early and that's awesome. There is definitely a multi preference between the Vamo vs SVD. I own them both but in full disclosure I do prefer the Vamo even though the SVD isn't just a shelf model anymore. Looks are subjective so no need to go there. The layout of the Vamo is easier to use and it does have an advantage in amperage over the SVD. For the sake of not retyping... my post is #15 funkyzero's post #16
The Vamo kits with the I2 charger and the sonys 18650s are a great deal.
The I2 charger is a solid choice. At least mine have been.
Battery choice is controversial but as long as you don't listen to Heavyrocker I'm sure you will be just fine. O;o)
My top 3 picks on FT atm in no particular order would be...
sony-us18650v3
panasonic-ncr18650pd
panasonic-ncr18650a
Whatever you choose to do if buying a charger and batteries separately use code "BLF" for a 5% discount
Also, Have you considered the Kmax?

Thanks for the recommendations and code, it seems as it applies in the cart even with my SVD there! I did consider the Kmax, but for some reason it didn't appeal to me as much as the SVD.

It's funny you mention the iClear, that was one of the first tanks i've ever tried, I like them, but I prefer the Protank over them. I see that all the Xtar chargers are soldout on FT, but I can't seem to find the Efest LUC that you mentioned on FT, maybe I have to buy it elsewhere? I'll likely be placing my order today, the faster I put in the order, the faster it arrives at my door. Thanks again guys! Happy vaping.

I thought my last order was going to be delayed until the 27th because of 2 packs of replacement heads (which I really need) that weren't supposed to be in stock until then, but lo and behold, it's all in packaging today. That's 6 days early...

Sometimes delays disappear...

Sorry, I should have mentioned... the Xtar VP1 isn't sold on Fasttech and neither is the EFest LUC. I wouldn't buy the XTar chargers except for that one particular model, the VP1.
RTD Vapor has them on sale right now for 39 bucks ==> https://www.rtdvapor.com/online-store/battery-chargers/xtar-vp1-detail

The charger along with batteries is the one thing you shouldn't cheap out on. I use AW batteries, I only got a couple of those NCR's from FT to try them out and they seem really good and also get very good praise so I would trust them I think. RTD is also a known good source of legit and genuine AW stuff if you choose to go that route.

the VP1 charger let's you see the real-time status of your batteries and it also lets you manually control the charge rates. I charge my stuff on a .25amp setting and the batteries stay ice cold all the way through the charge cycle and that is extremely important.

Sorry, I just can't recommend anything else for a charger. I know you want to order it from Fasttech, but I wouldn't skimp on this part if I were you. Save your money elsewhere is my advice.

Yes any batteries, chargers, or flashlights in your cart will get the discount. I meant if bought separately as in not in a premade "kit" like the Vamo, I2, and sony 18650 kits. Sorry if that was confusing lol

Just went to the P.O. to check on my pkg that has been sitting in HK since Aug 9th. They say it is in customs and hasn't even been mailed yet. So heads up, could be a trend. I have had quite a few orders but this is the first customs prob with HK to U.S. I ordered the itaste vw 3.0.

I got my VP1 from RTD yesterday and so far I am VERY happy with it!
I was able to see how much charge I had on the batts when I mounted them and could then watch the charge prgression - YaY!
(I am OC when it comes to charging batts; I tend to hover over them, lol)

Recived my dekang Strawberry Cheescake last week, the very first day have a smell like those stinky "high end" cheese with a bit of fart, LOL I leave cap open until yesturday the smell is much better now smell like blue cheese still a bit stinky like blue cheese, but the taste is awesome now, doesn't taste like a real cheescake but i love it, is a combination of strawberry and blue cheese, not a comparable taste to anything I've try but is now one of my favorite after the MBV strawberry shortcake, is like vaping high end cuisine stuff,

Vapemail today! Svd came. Took about 10 days from click to doorstep. Looks very clean and well made. Best 37 dollars I've spent in awhile. Now just waiting for the separate order containing my igo l and wicks.

Recieved today the Liqua Strawberry and Energy Drink. Both smell good, but when you vape it the taste is bad. Something like old socks they also have an chemicalish aftertaste. Left the bottles open on my table, maybe some steeping will do them good. Well, now I know what not to order again.

Definitely don't throw it out. There are more than a few instances of the stuff turning from garbage to gold in 2-3 weeks. The Berry Mix was the same way, total skunk juice... then 3-4 weeks later I got it out again and now the flavor is very pleasant.
