I know this info already exists somewhere on this enormous thread, but is there a list or a way of telling what on fasttech is a clone, cheap knock off, worthy clone, actual branded product or built in the same factory by the same people anyway so who cares product? besides the Vamo which everyone seems to agree is....as genuine as it is anywhere else? Hope I'm not out of line by asking.
I'd love to order the itaste VV VW box thinggy maybe even the new fancy one and a Vamo V3 for pennies and and and a kick for my mech for eight bucks...and and and....you know?

If it just says Protank - it's a clone. If it says Kanger Protank - that's the real deal.
IMHO
nothing wrong with fasttech I think I got share with them now the amount of stuff I get from there each month and they keep sending me emails of new arrivals
One of FT's higher rated clone mech mods is the V3 MOD. It's solid brass and well built. I have one and use it with a Igo-L. Excellent combination.
Well the stockpile is looking good, i'll be able to cut the monthly ft allowance to under $15.
I made a bunch of 2ohm coils a week or two ago and finally had a chance to throw one in an old evod w/ an O.E 2.5 head, much better!

I'll second the V3. I put a Kick in it and it works flawlessly.

Would you say this is better then the Nemesis clone? Im torn between the 2 and my vape budget wont allow for both.
I don't have any experience with the Nemesis clone, but I have read where there are issues with the threads on some of the other clones. When I started vaping a few months ago, it was recommended to me to purchase the V3 because it is solid brass and built like a tank, which it is. The money I saved on the V3 over the Nemesis allowed to get the Igo-L along with it.
Some of all of the above. Depends on the product.
For the products that you asked about specifically, the ikonnin stuff is genuine I've had the boxy thingy for a few months and a fancy V thingy on the way. The kick is new. No one has one yet.
Read about some of the shipping horrors and decide for yourself if you want to throw the dice. They are a solid company but shipping has been a real problem lately.
Thanks for the info. I checked and found a few on ebay, but I only found the SS or chrome. I found a brass one at a stateside vendor but it was nearly double the FT price. I guess I'll wait it out and keep my eye on the classifieds. Thanks again.
No. Not true. Even Kanger says that ALL Kanger products on Fasttech are fakes. None are real Kangers.
Personally I don't believe that. FT may not get stuff directly from Kanger, but they can easily get it from one of Kanger's many resellers.
I'm only passing on what Kanger publicly announced on 8/29/2013. We can assume they would know the difference, and had good reason to warn consumers.
Oh, I know that's what Kanger said. I also know that the Chinese factories are petty and vicious, and will never miss an opportunity to stab each other in the back. FT doesn't need to falsely label stuff. Look what they did with Smok products.
No, I don't think we can assume that. There was a major discussion of this during the summer, here and elsewhere on the net. It boils down to certain retailers, Kanger among them, being annoyed that a reseller is selling their product below its MSRP - manufacturer's suggested retail price. The manufacturers, for a number of reasons which only concern their own image, exclusivity, etc. do not want this to happen and cry "fake" so as to sabotage the re-seller's sales/reputation.
Re-sellers such as Fast Tech can and do buy their products wholesale from the manufacturer through "straw man" companies, and then resell them at the price they feel is appropriate.
Fast Tech is trustworthy when it comes to telling us if something is genuine or a clone. If the description says "genuine" or "authentic" or uses the manufacturer's name - such as Innokin - then the product is genuine. You can also get one of the mods in the FT forum to confirm it for you.
Many, many of us here have bought genuine products from FT - I have a number of them - and can attest to their authenticity.
I actually agree with him on this one.
In a nutshell, "Fake" translates to "Unbranded".
So Shenzhen Kanger Technology Co, Ltd. (aka Kanger), one of the largest e-cig manufacturers in the world, goes on record stating that Fasttech sells fake Kanger product. Fasttech, a retailer, takes no action to correct Kanger's statement, and that statement is on Kanger's website to this day (two months later). Kanger's products are regularly sold for less than suggested retail prices.
Fasttech just allows Kanger to slander their reputation? Accuse them of wrongdoing? And continues to buy large volumes of Kanger products to resell for very small margins?
Something doesn't add up

Kanger's bigger. Maybe FT is still hoping to repair the relationship. Who knows? The point is the majority of the products FT sells have no listed manufacturer. The rare item that is made by a name-brand (lol) manufacturer is listed as such. I flat-out don't believe that they'd worry about labeling a few things as authentic Kanger if they're not.
Believe what you will, but be careful about repeating it as gospel. Unless you've got a dog in the fight it just might make you look foolish if it's proved that Kanger is lying.
