If they are the $2.88 ones, you will be very happy with them. Just got a couple in and am vaping one as I type. Pretty much the identical item and performance as the ones I purchased state side that were sold as Kanger T2's. This is my favorite clero. It just plain works. Good cloud, good flavor, and none of the hassles of a bottom feeder. I just wish they could handle pluids (but my I-go L came with this order also so I'm good there). It is a warm vape and I like that but if you don't then stick to bcc's.

Don't go bad mouthing my BCC's. I really like evods and puff on them even more than my Protank. I can taste the metal in it. I'm going to give it an overnight vinegar soak and try it again. In the meantime evods are where its at for me.

Only top coils I've had were either T4's and esmarts for 808 which both worked great and then iClears that came with an MVP. I'm not sold on the iClears at all, they seem to suck up lots of liquid and burn HOT, not warm. I don't need two coils, ones fine.

Yeah now I have to decide on this or the nemy. Not sure I like the top of it.

I have the Nemy coming. Going to wait on reports of the voltage drop of the Astro clone before ordering. I read the Astro has kind of a big voltage drop for a $200 mech, maybe the clone will do better.

I have read that too. Apparently the close have a better drop rate than the originals in a lot of cases. Not sure how "kickable" the Astro clone will be. I like the looks better than the nemy. I like I can see the vents on the bottom.

That does look roached out.

5%? No thanks. They need to understand that we buy these things for looks as much as function. Nobody wants to be seen puffing on a roached out battery.

I'm going to disagree here.

From what I understand, they (fasttech) offered her 5% off of the package (of eight batteries). That's the same as getting a 40% discount on that one battery.

Just peel the rest of the covering off and you have a silver battery. For 40% off the already low price of $4.35 (per battery). In effect, you'll end up with a silver (instead of white) battery for $2.60.

Or you could quibble, send it back, wait for a replacement, etc. etc. Why bother?

Got home from work tonight to find a notice on my door. $102.65 order with a $43.85 duty fee LMAO! How in the hell does that make sense? I stopped making "big" orders because one got held up for 2 months and I got a duty fee and now this $#!7...
This was the only order this week to go through there too. Chicago can get ****** I'll pay the fees when they win the pennant.

What I want to know is what criteria are they using to charge duty fees.
Is part of this holdup having to do with maybe collecting duty fees?
I thought there was a dollar limit that was duty free (maybe I'm wrong)

Is EVERYONE being charged duty fees? What's up with this?

I think packages that get looked at closely are getting nailed.

Remember fasttech way undervalues stuff on its declaration on the package. If customs discovers that then they decide what the market value of the items is. Not what we paid for it what the MARKET value is.

Yes, that makes more sense, I would just keep it as a cheap emergency back up but I am sure they will replace if you want to go through the returns process.

Guess I should have mentioned - Once you get Popped, you are in the system. Venders trying to avoid import taxation. From that point on a scan can call you up as a red flag for closer inspection.
Doesn't matter the cost of the order as much as Cost vs Quantity.
You can order 1 tablet $100 or so - Personal use
You can order 50 Clearomizers $100 or so - Considered Resale

The rules are not going to change to suit your fancy.

Even paying 50% on an order could result in a huge savings over Retail
Ithaka Clone $35.22
50% $17.61
Delivered $52.83

Ithaka from Stormy's $79.99 on Sale, was $99.99, Plus shipping

Are you really going to Give away $100+:blink:

Next time, just send me the money - Family would appreciate the gift.:)

I hope I'm detecting some sarcasm there:laugh: Not bad mouthing BCC's they have their advantages as well. Just to much fussing for a guy who is always on the go and doesn't like to have to fiddle with my vape gear, of course YMMV.

The T2's don't go through juice at any where near the rate of the i-Clear and are a lot cooler but still warm. I just got my first thirty in after using the 15 for a while. The vape is quite a but cooler on the 30 but dang, I've never seen 3ml of juice disappear like that before. Throw up a review here if you ever get your package.

Just one more comment on the FT T2's : The draw is noticable tighter on the FT product. My guess is it is due to the wick coil. The FT's accept the kanger replacement heads and I will have to see how that works after I finish this clero.

I ordered the SVD kit and it went into acceptance on the 12th. It's still at the same point. In the meantime, I went ahead and bought a Vamo locally and am enjoying it. I guess it'll get here when it gets here.
I have an eVic. I'll be be just fine while I wait. I expected a couple weeks on the delivery time... but hopefully it doesn't take a month.

Capt. take a look. Are these T2's 2 or 3 side hole? The originals done by Kanger for JoyeTech, EGO T2, were 2 hole and had a bit tighter draw. I still plug one hole in my Kanger T2 (3) hole tanks.:)

ETA - Just looked and the site shows as 2 hole
ETA2 - never mind. To many Kangers here - My T2 are 2 hole - T3 are 3 hole:facepalm:
