i dont have much knowledge in electronics
but i know that there is no fire risk if we charge a 1000mA phone battery with 2A charger (all the extra mA is just rejected by the phone)
there is fire risk when we use 500mA charger to charge a 1000mA phone battery (it try to pull the extra mA )
i thought that same is applicable to our ego chargers
Some of these ego batteries available now are cheap Chinese copies and may not have the same build quality or level of protection as an original branded product, in all probability it will work OK, but it will be detrimental to the long term life of the battery, the risk of fire maybe quite small at these low power levels, but you cannot guarantee that when you are potentially pumping 4X the amount of power in than what the battery is designed to take, there is quite a bit of tolerance but 4X is pushing it a bit.

OK - I guess we should and will not go with doing that, then. No-one wants to set their house on fire (except really stupid arsonists).
I guess I was lucky even though I had an item that had to be switched because the color I ordered was out of stock and my package was missent to wrong city in CA I got the order today in theail and I ordered it on the 20th. It was a large order too. 19 items.. So far everything seems to look pretty decent.. As I try out everything I will put some product reviews up on this thread..

You might want to skip the needle tip bottles. I got 2 of them and the needles move up and down inside the casing. . Not sure how leakproof they are yet..

OK, this guy just showed up on the page. I swear it wasn't there before. Will this work? It's a little cheaper.

My tracking is really inaccurate. It says that my package is still in New York and today USPS tried to deliver it to my home in Cali, but of course I didn't know and now I have to wait until monday to pick it up at the post office

Mine says Hong Kong, maybe its on the moon.
I have had this same issues when ordering from American Vendors (clothing, etc) and shipping through USPS. Sometimes it says delivered at 10am and its not actually delivered until a couple days later. I didn't have this issue till I moved to LA (before I lived in a less urban area)

Does that mean FT shipments route through New York first? That would be awesome.
Nothing happening until after the 3rd, but, every little bit helps.
It is rated at 1.6A which is too low for a 2A device, however FastTech's own QC have conducted its own tests which are as follows.....
That would be enough to run the 2A passthrough, the only thing is that it cannot be guaranteed that all samples will be able to achieve these test results. if you have a multimeter or voltmeter you could test it yourself and see how it performs.
Too late, the order is in, at that price it doesn't really matter if they don't last long though, a little drop of superglue on the point where the needle meets the plastic might cure that if it is a problem.
Thanks for taking the time Mark. I just read the discussion bit on this product and it seems this almost identical unit puts out a little bit more so I just added it to my cart and it will be in my next order, should do the trick.

That should do it.
A free plug on in the middle of each floor of the house and a 20' extension cord and it will be just like the central vacuum...only in reverse......sort of
Now I begin my search for a suitable car adapter.
Has anyone tried out that X1? I'm looking for a short non-glass atomizer for out-and-about, and the site lists this at just under 2" in length.
What about us slobs/hoarders, we need a good house cleaning too.

Couple that with USPS has been having major problems lately with their whole tracking and incoming billing estimates for shopping carts going down.
My order says King Kong. Maybe that's how it got to Ny empire state building.
But seriously it always goes from .... Kong to San Fran. Then days till it shows up in Atlanta.
