We'll see how this goes

Please post what your thought are I only seen 1 person post about it in the rda section
Seen it about a week or more ago

He gave such a bad review of it
But I question the things said mainly because
I have not seen any one else post they even received it yet

Hello, my name is Lisa...



CPU Heatsink Compound Conductive Thermal Grease (20g)

Lisa. What do you use the cpu grease for?

 

[Heavyrocker]

So, out of everything I've ever ordered from FT, I just had my first order change to being returned to sender. If course, it's HK post. So, how long does it take for then to get it back and reship? I opened a ticket and asked that reship be via Singapore Post.

Coat my threads to keep them buttery, just like I do on my flashlights. They have another type, but it is not conductive. I use it as well:

NexTORCH SL6 Silicone Grease Lube for Flashlight Maintenance (10g)

Hi, I haven't been in this area for awhile (lotsa pages since I was last here).
I noticed that FT is now using SingPost for US orders (according to their site).
Have the delivery times gotten any better?
I still want to order that Kamry K201 but have been waiting until the bottlenecks got worked out.

I chose Shipping via USPS First Class w/DC, not sure about SingPost

Hmm. Interesting. I would have never thought to use cpu grease on a mod. I may give that a try in my next order. thanks!

Can you point me to a source or that actually tested the electrical conductivity of heat sink pastes, noalox, etc.?

My previous order that I placed on 10/10, shipped on 10/21, was stuck at HK post on the 24th until recently when FT told me the package was returned to them and they refunded me the money. It was for a single iTaste VV3 battery. If I order it again, will it go through this time or get stuck again? My other order has finally shipped and is already in San Fran and should probably be here sometime next week.

Another question... I bought a bunch of RBA drippers from here a while back but I haven't really used them because they all have this crappy taste to them.. really metallic or greasy or something of that nature. I know there could be some manufacturing oils so I did soak them in some hot water but that didn't really do the trick. Should I boil them or soak in alcohol or vinegar?

They started requiring express shipping for batts about yesterday; we should soon find out how it works. We already know it's not free. I really want those samsung batts since they out perform AW. Love my sony 18650 batts but haven't seen test data yet.

Can rinse oils off w/ rubbing alcohol, PGA, Russian vodka, etc.; I use the cheapest option

Does anyone know which FT RBAs have the screw holes in them? I prefer those as its easier to use than the ones where you have to wrap it around the screw it. Preferably the smaller ones that look flush with Ego style batteries.

I'd also look for RDAs w/ all stainless construction since the common brass posts may react w/ some flavors.
I also prefer phillips head screws.
Those parameters eliminate most choices in the small RDAs.
FASTTECH SKU 1406704 looks promising although it uses allen screw.

 

[lisancentraltx]

You'll have to look at each and every RBA/RDA carried by FastTech if you want screw holes or special screws. FastTech gets their merchandise from so many different vendors, there's no way to determine those things except by pictures/descriptions.

Yea, I don't like the allen wrench ones. I can't find mine since its so small and easy to misplace and it's not unscrewing very easily with a small screwdriver. And yes, most of the metal-ish ones I got are very metallic smelling and leave a weird taste. So go for the SS ones?

 

[funkyZero]

Just ordered this one,someone help me,i cant seem too stop buying mech mods from Fasttech.

You're gonna love it. That mod has become my favorite mech.. i finally got all the gloss worn off and now it looks just sweet as hell.

I've got a few chrome plated brass ones and I'm not satisfied w/ the quality. Got a V13 on the way; looks quality in pic but I think it's gonna take lots of sanding before polishing.

Mail cannot be sent USPS from China, just as mail cannot be sent HKP or Singapore Post from the US. Yes, I know that Fasttech says they can send USPS something-or-other, but they are not correct. The USPS delivers the merchandise once it reaches the US, but it is not "sent" USPS.
