I do like it JK !
It's the smallest mod I own and fits well in my pocket for out and about.It even comes with a silicone sleeve for some protection.It's fairly durable as I've dropped it twice so far on a hard linoleum floor from ~3 feet up with a kayfun lite atop of it and it still works.

It has temp control if I ever get around to trying that and a fancy schmancy clock to boot.
My only niggle with the mini is the magnets in the battery door.When I pull the mini out from my pants pocket all my dimes and quarters tend to come out with it too.
It's a fine little machine and works well!

It comes in orange too...

Did you say orange? :)
Thanks SNM, appreciate your review. I believe Ding suggested an Evic mini for me a while back and I've been thinking about one ever since. I've yet to own an external batt mod. This may be the one. I've read decent reviews on it and I like the look of it.
And, it comes in orange :)
Cheers!

I don't think you'd be disappointed if you got it. :)

Have you ordered from ft before? Wondering about us Canucks ordering from them...

Oh...not me...I'm one of them people that's scared to order anything on the interwebs.

I think @TrollDragon has and he's Canadian I believe.

Ha ha, I understand your fear. I've ordered online only twice (from Canadian vendors)and both were good experiences. I think Mr. Flakes has also ordered from ft without problems. I was just looking to save a wee bit o' dough :)
Thanks!

Other than the slow boat wait I don't think you'll have a problem. Last order I made a couple of weeks ago took just 22 days!! I guess the boat rowers were given an incentive!! :rolleyes:

If you are just looking for the eVic Mini VTwo by itself then I would get is from Canvape or a local B&M, you are only going to save a few dollars on it from FT.

Things about FT:
Everyone complains how slow they are, FT is not slow if you shop wisely. All my orders are 8-10 days too my door here in NS.

The most important thing is the item must be "In Stock" or "Ships Next Day". When an item has a "Restocking in XX days" status that is no guarantee that it will in fact be in stock then, I've seen that get another 7 days added and more.

If you mix In Stock and Restocking items in the same cart everything will wait until the OOS items are in and that could take weeks. This is the main reason why people complain about FT, they add OOS items to their order and then squawk that it took 2 months to get it.

The second most important thing is Upgrade Your Shipping. The Free shipping option takes 4-6 weeks guaranteed. We used to have ePacket but they will not ship a lot of things via that method to Canada anymore that way. Use DHL Global mail instead it's only a few bucks and is trackable, 8-10 days to my door with DHL mail.

On FT anything labeled "Authentic" is Authentic. Anything labeled "Style" is a clone. Do not order any batteries unless you are willing to wait ~2 months to get them in Canada, that also includes any mods with built in batteries.

Contrary to popular belief there are a lot more FAKE batteries on Amazon and eBay than you will find on FT. I get my batteries from Lightning Vapes, they cost a little more than other US battery vendors but, ship to Canada for cheap and are 1/2 the price of my local B&M or other online Canadian vendors like Canvape.

A wise shopper gets their Chinese products promptly.

Oh look, the midnight shift shipping department staff have arrived at FT. :D

So, a bushel of these in a paraseries config... wonder what the amp rating might be? Of course, if these explode, it'll be less painful and more messy.

Congrats, by the way, you may have just made pumpkins a tobacco product lol

I'm not in Canada, but I agree with most everything written here.

I get my batteries from Liionwhilesale.com or imrbatteries.com would be the only difference.

Troll check out this place. It's where I order mine from. Not sure how much shipping to NS but I think worth a look.

Liion Wholesale Batteries | Li-ion battery distributor



My first reaction is OUCH!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Janky mod from a Slimy Company...
The board is Janky in that it's not accurate above about 100 watts which may, or may not, have to do with amp ratings. The box itself - enclosure - is kinda nice. The company is a bit hinky, but we've seen similar behavior from others, so...

Yesh... I bought one, and I kinda like it. I even bought it in orange (to match the o-rings in my TFV8 lol).

Yup. Just wait until people need to show ID at the grocery store!

Ok. I'll admit to making a couple of orders. Or a handful of dozens.

Pay with Paypal.

Ship with Hong Kong Post of DHL Global Mail +1.23. Both seem to be the fastest option from reading the FT forum.

It will take a couple of weeks.

You will also need some 18650's. Unfortunately local is your best bet as the are no shipping options from China. You could get some from the US but with shipping you won't save much.

Thanks I will do that, I keep forgetting about them. :thumbs:
Bought my very first set of batteries about six months ago from Liion. Excellent prices and fast shipping. Batteries still going strong (LG and Samsung). My only complaint is they don't carry AW 18350s, but I can find those on Amazon and other places.

By the way, guys, I know efest batteries are often fakes or re-wraps (at least that's what I've read), but is there any reason to fear them if you only vape at 9 to 10 watts? I'm talking 18350s in a Provari.

Really depends on where you get them from, I got my HG2's for $10CAD each and that was after shipping and conversion. The local B&M's want anywhere from $15-$20 + 15% sales tax here, ordering from a Canadian online vendor will have shipping added to that as well unless you make a $150 order.
