I was hoping to find something like this. Hey gang. I'm probably going to be acquiring an Evic-VT pretty soon, and I'm afraid when I start building sub-ohm coils, my tootle puffer credentials may be yanked. :D Even though I'm a tootler to the BONE; my asthma won't let me vape any other way. But TC seems to require those sub-ohm coils, so I gotta do what I gotta do. :D

And I love high-tech mods. I have a couple of mechs in case the sky falls, but I'm no Analog Kid. Great song, though. :D

Hey Andria, everyone is welcome here, they even let me hang around :shock:

Chopdoc nailed it, with temperature protected mods you vape with no dry hits and you choose the watts you vape at. Build resistance doesn't really matter, your vape experience is really all about the watts you set be they cloud chasing or Tootle Puffing numbers.

I hope TP works out well for you :thumb:

In TC mode, the minimum wattage you can set it to is 30 watts....so technically you won't be in tootle puffing territory, although you can get it lower by lowering the temp.

The few vape shops I been in, I was not impressed with the level of knowledge from the staff. Not long ago I was in one and asked the young cute girl who was working behind the counter if she could show me the RDA's. She asked me "which ones are those" :ohmy: It was obvious she wasnt hired for her intelligence :lol:

Theres one opening up near here that I applied to a listing for yesterday. They had me send in a recent photo of myself along with a resume? What the hell does that have to do with my vaping experience? Sorry Id rather buy my stuff from the Elephant Man as long as he knew what he was doing than some 19 year old brain dead blond.

Andria, you'll still be good to go. Set the temp to whatever is comfortable for you and the wattage is just used to get it to that temp. If the temp is set to, say, 400F then it will only get to 400F (well, more or less) whether you use 30W or 60W or anything in between. The 60W will just get you to temp faster. I think I explained that correctly.

Oh and hi all

eer yes and no. It all depends on the temp you set. The Evic VT minimum wattage setting is 30 watts but if you have the temp set at say 400 F then watch it in a mirror while you vape, the wattage stays around 20 while your vaping. That wattage setting is for the max wattage during the vape cycle. When you initially hit the fire button its going to send 30 watts to the coil but that will drop as your inhaling the vape. When temp protection kicks in because its going over your set temp, I seen it drop to 1 watt.

I went into the B&M to pick up some celebration juice and she was the only one working the counter and I was the only customer so of course, me a dirty ol man and her a young sweet thing that was very pleasant to look at, well show me your stuff errrm I mean show me your RDA's lol I chatted with her a little while but I had the distinct impression there was a lot of empty space between them ears. Bought a couple bottles of Unicorn Milk and went about my merry way with a smile
(or was that a lecherous leer) lol

This is also the reason i personally won't enter the TC territory. Atleast not yet. :p
I'm used to have my vape where i want it to be. Without delays or anything else to interfere. Altho avoiding DH would be a cool feature which TC offers. Granted i'vent had that in ages. But for newcomers and the like, i can see the appeal. :)

I guess i'm "old school" or w/e ppl wants to call it. :)
My mechs and RDA/RTAs always delivers, where i want them to be. :)

I went into a B&M hoping to get parts for my Lemo Drop. The chimney pipe wouldnt come loose and got kinda distorted with me trying to get it off. It been months and months since I been there because I started doing DIY and had no reason to go there. Luckily a couple guys was there who knew a little. Seeing how my Lemo Drop was trashed now I asked them what they had for RTA's and they showed me the Kanger STM. Same week my Istick 50 died (fast tech clone that I thought was authentic when I bought it. Never will buy from fast tech again) so I also needed a new mod while I was there and they had the IPV4 for $99. Not a bad price for a B&M.
Long story short I fell in love with the STM and thats all I will vape on now and the IPV4 had the temp control feature so ordered some Nickel and been temp vaping since. I love it so much I picked up a couple more STM's and another IPV4 and a Evic VT.
I find it funny that until last May, all I ever vaped on was ego's with CE5's or protanks. Now if i try to vape on one of them its like wow, they are so flavor muted and unsatisfying its unreal.

There is no "delay", as you vape, there mod regulates to keep temp at its settings. It keeps your vape "where you want it to be" on the fly, far better then any VW mod can. The drop to very low wattage is only seen when you are firing but not drawing on the atty.... Where that low wattage is all that is needed to maintain the set temp....take a draw and the wattage will jump back up. In fact, if you have your preheat wattage set higher then you would normally vape (like the min. 30 watts for Andria :p) you will get you "where you want it to be" far quicker then you are accustomed to :p

Agreed on the bolded part. :)
Altho the istick you got might have been auth, they're known to autofire/catch fire (entire istick 50w brand)
In my experience if FT tells it's auth in the article, it is. So don't trash them just yet. :) (Altho i understand if you feel/want to do so)[/QUOTE]

I see... In my experience it's always a slight delay before you get "the vape" or how i should explain it. But yes i might be wrong, as i'vent ventured deep enough into TC yet. :)
I will eventually though. :) (Atleast to try to latest ya kno...)

Setting your power unnecessarily high for your temp setting will get you there quicker but with the SX Mini it makes it work harder to maintain the temp. I set mine just a little higher than needed to reach the temp desired and it's more stable and also uses less battery power. I should get my Evic from GB by September and then I can comment on it's performance. :)

With the evic, I'm not worried about battery life... Most I go through is around 50% in a day.... That's all I need. I'm happy enough to charge every night

I bought an Eleaf iStick 50W Style from fast tech. Now my way of thinking is it was the 50 watt style, not the 30 watt style, not the 20 watt style but the 50 watt style but in reality it was a clone and lasted not even two weeks. It started autofiring and then just died. Then they demanded I film it not working.....really? It is dead, what is there to film? I am totally disgusted with Fast tech and wont send any business there way.

Anything listed as "style" on that site is a clone, authentics are listed as authentic
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

Then they should say Istick clone. I would of never bought it if I knew it was a clone.

Yea... I'm sorry. If it was a "style" it's a clone.
You can buy auth from FT but then it has to have the "auth" in the title aswell. However noone of us knows wether is auth or not. (Except for the kanger stuff i've bought, scratch code was/were validated)

But the nr1 rule with ft is:
Style = Clone
Auth = Well.. Auth, atleast it should be.

But in this case it barely matters, seeing as authentic istick 50ws has gone to smokes, ALOT of them...
So in my opinion the istick 50w is unreliable. And most ppl advice against it just due the manufacture issues the 50w has.

Edit: I see it was a clone, the posts above appeared when i posted... :/
(Oh well...)

You have to do a bit of research when shopping with Fasttech, like SleeZy said anything with style in the name is a clone.

I picked up an Infinite Kayfun V4 (Clone) and a KBox (Authentic) from them recently and they are excellent working products. I got them for less than half of what the local B&M wanted for them.

More FT tips:
Make sure what you want has a status of In Stock or Ships Next Day. A lot of the complaints of Fasttech being slow is that people put items that are set to Ships in 7 Days in their order which will delay the whole order till that SKU gets restocked. You can contact their support and have them split up the shipment if you don't want to wait for the out of stock item.

Pay for the upgraded ePacket shipping which is usually around $3, I have my orders come in 10 days with that option otherwise it is a full 3 weeks to a month without.

If you are in Canada don't order anything with a built in battery or even batteries themselves as it will be guaranteed to be at least a month, possibly 2 to get to you. The US has an option for faster battery shipments in the shipping choices.

Focalecig and GearBest are similar to Fasttech but you don't know if a product is in stock or not half the time and shipping takes longer. With GB they can and will sell you one thing then ship out a similar product, we all got in on the NextGen preorder expecting to receive the Yeahsmo version. So GB shipped us the SXK version instead, which is an inferior product and for $12 your not going to ship it back to China for a refund. I have ordered other things from GB without issue though so it was probably a supplier problem. They still should have let us know though before shipping the SXK.

No problems with Focal yet, my Sigelei mini is an authentic and my FeV V3 & glass tank are top notch.
