Sept. 3 FT order, after sitting in Hong Kong until the 21st, arrived yesterday. This was my first order with FT, so I inspected everything carefully. All the juices arrived as ordered. There were about a dozen. The plastic bottles with the hollow metal tubes are all ok. The Kanger Protank IIs arrived as ordered.
So far, so good. Then came the three clone eGo Twists (1100mAh) with their nice prices and copyright-infringing logos. Two of the three are just fine. The third... well... I can use it with my Protank II minis, with the ego threads. The interior 510 threading is messed up. With great effort, and some creative, patient legerdemain, I can get it onto an ego charger. When I finally got a Protank II to sit on it, it wobbled a bit, and mostly looked like the leaning tower of Pisa.
Don't think I'll try to return it...the joys of the first month of doing business with FT make me think it's just not worth my time and trouble.
What have I learned? What my father used to tell me when I was a kid: "Son, cheap is cheap."
