The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[Ta2ooz]

My order from sept 27 finally showed up, mind you there was a restocking wait but hey it showed up, got my nemmi and oddly clones, small issue, when I screw the oddy onto the nem it runs out of threads and wobbles to the point it won't make a connection. I haz a sad, on a plus I got my I atty to work on it and it fits perfectly. I tried to out my protected panny 18650 and it's too fat. I did get an awesome little I phone and small electronics kit https://www.fasttech.com/p/1462121
And a lipo bag https://www.fasttech.com/p/1391601
And a bada$$ shot glass

Next order I'm getting some Panasonic batteries. There seems to be a debate on which are best. The cgr18650ch or the ncr18650pd. I'll be ordering both and comparing. It's a general consensus they are both great. I'll be using them in my electric angel.

The PD rules. It has huge MAH I found that it had less V-Drop at 3.8v then at 4.2v

With batteries [Arguably] size does matter.
At 4.2v it had a .6 vdrop on my Bogger Box
at 3.8V it had only a .4V V drop

This is in Sub Ohm Vaping.

What it comes down to is that if you want the hottest vape then you go with the MNKE or the Sony or the Legendary AW1600. But if you want to vape for a longer time then the PD [When broken in] will leave these in the dust after 4 hours on a mechanical.

Also I've never seen the PD batteries get hot or break a sweat.

I'm going to order a rebuildable after my existing orders get here and I have a couple questions:

RDA's. You constantly have to drip right? Cause I'm kinda lazy and prefer hassle free.

RBA's without clear tanks. How do you know it needs refilled before you get a dry hit. Well come to think of it, that's how I know to refill my clear tank lol.

I'm thinking I'll get the AGA-T2 for the large tank, SS & glass materials, and low cost. Any others I should check out?

If you are not in a hurry, i would either wait for someone to comment on the Kayfun or buy one for yourself. I have a russian91% and it's the best RBA i used

Has anyone used the pre-made coil/wicks for rebuilding:

$6.80 Replacement Wicks and Wires for Rebuildable Atomizer (50-Pack) 50-pack - 2.0ohm / w/plastic case at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Mine taste like machine oil. Does anyone else also taste that?

I've used them, on my Protanks, an evod and my Eternity clone. I didn't notice any taste, just a major improvement over the dirty heads they were replacing. I've botched a couple, but the others have turned out successfully.

I find they are really practical (since I don't know how to wind one myself) and easy to use, with a good youtube instruction video. I've just reordered them, as well as a small packet of the pre-made multi-wicks to try out.

Just make sure you have an ohm reading device to verify them.

I've tried 2 with 2 different liquids and got the same taste. But, I'll try a 3rd and see how it goes. Thanks!

People buying from FastTech crack me up...
Just go look at the Negative Review Thread for suppliers.
So many people trying to save a buck or two to keep the "middlemen" (Meaning US vendors) from making a buck.
Maybe getting jerked around from a Hong Kong company will give you some idea of what your local vendors go through.

Hmmm.....
Reason why I posted in this thread, that would probably be because the thread title says "The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts".
I didn't realize it was strictly for fans and not welcome to dissenting opinions.

I'm glad you all have had good luck with this company. I just have spent much more time reading about the misery in the Negative reviews.
At least it's PayPal and you can always dispute it there, which seems to be the most common recourse for issues.

Since I'm not a troll and don't seem to be welcome to have a differing opinion, I'll just move along and hope you don't run into the real joys of dealing with an overseas vendor that really doesn't give a -- about customer service. Think that's wrong? See the post made by the guy who was told to mail his defective mod back to Hong Kong for credit.

Your absolutely welcome to voice your opinion. This is a thread about FT, the good and the bad. I am awaiting my first order from them. I know it will take a while and I did not order anything I need now. I also did not spend much this time. But I live in the U.S. and here is one reason I don't have much faith in resellers here. I ordered an IGO-l from a somewhat popular website for vapors based in Arizona(Phoenix, I believe) I got it and put it on my Itaste, hated the coils it came with so replaced them when I put it on there the SECOND time, the 510 threads crapped out it won't stay on anything. The threads were just cut way too shallow. So I call said vendor and got a BIG FAT F.U. no warranty no returns. So my tendency to buy local when I can has been slightly bruised and while I still will deal with U.S. vendors if I want it now. If I foresee a need/want, I will spend my dollars where they go the farthest. If I had ANY local shop I would frequent that as that is a privilege. Nope here in Topeka we have tobacco shops that carry overpriced blister packs of knock off egos and ce4s. No accessories of any kind nothing to repair and forget about any type of good clearos. That's MY two cents.

I'd be thrilled to have that much of a local shop. Here I have walgreens with blu, walmart with fin and the gas station with njoy king...That is it within a 4 hour drive.

Must be Up in North Louisiana. I drove to Alexandria once. Topeka is a Metropolis in comparison.

i used them also and havent notice the taste. I always torch mine for a good minute before using it. Then i run a series of dry burns to make sure there are no huge hot spots. Then I burn some juice on it and just stare at the beautiful vapor it produces.

Then when all of that's done, I put it to use.

You can either torch the wicks before use or boil them. Torching is quicker, plus you get the added bonus of playing with fire.

FT Order created on Oct 27th
Tracking number received on Oct 31st
Carrier: Singapore Post

Status still shows:

Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article)

 

[Kyi]

Mine is still at HK post since Oct 24th... Ordered Oct 10th, shipped on Oct 21st. When should I start complaining? It'll be at least another 1-2 weeks until I get my order I presume. That's like over 1/12th of a year.. a month... too long. Grrr..

My package has been sitting in Hong Kong since October 28th, and Fasttech told me today that the status is "return to sender". I don't know when (or if) I'll get it. You might want to contact them - they'll look into it for you. Hopefully, it's not being returned to Fasttech like mine is.

 

[puchox]

The only insight i can provide to everyone having problems with HKP and SGP, HKP took 17 days between the FT shipping notice until it started showing on the tracking.

My last order via SGP with another vendor got sent back without even a notice on the tracking sites and they re shipped everything via China Post.

@adrkaushal check Home for SGP packages, it's SGP's carrier so they usually update a bit faster than them

Thanks a lot puchox! I've bookmarked QS. I see a different status (Dated Oct 31st) at QS for my tracking number: PHYSICAL ITEM RECD

This is strange, SGP says, no physical item received but QS says, physical item received. What do you think is going on? Do you recommend contacting FT? I'm kinda getting desperate with all of this waiting lol

The physical receipt you get from quantium is actually them taking the package from FT office to SGP office, these days you should get an update that says that the item has departed. I'd recommend waiting a little instead of bothering with CS right now which answers every 3 days or so.
