Would this clone be safe?

[MJTP]

Hey guys, for financial reason's I'm pretty much forced to buy a $14 Twist clone from fasttech if I want to be able to vape a NET coming in from MOV. No other funds left.

What I want to ask is are these VV clones safe? With all the exploding batteries lately, I just want to hear ya'lls thoughts. Also, fasttech's page for the Twist doesn't point to its appropriate charger, not sure if fasttech even has one for it. Exactly which type of charger is best for this clone?

this one is a 420mah charger. I don't see why it wouldn't work for your application.

No one can advise on the safety of an individual battery. Anything can happen in assembly, shipping, personal use.

That said, I believe the VV batteries are designed to replicate the originals. I am planning to order one myself for running errands. to leave the mods home.

Also remember that exact same Clone will cost about $20 from a US vender.

I forgot to mention I don't have a working computer right now, just a phone. No way for USB to work by itself. What do I do? Do fasttech have a wall adaptor for this?

My wife has 2 of these she has dropped, tipped them over and they work fine atm and she has had them 3 weeks but plan to get her something more durable before they do break though.

I have a 5 v 2amp ac to dc converter. I bought mine for 3 dollars a long time ago. I'm sure you can find something like that again.

Yes they do.

I have 2 FT twists, 1 for 2 months and 1 for 1 month, both still working just fine. Both are well made, I am happy with them.

I use a tall coffee mug for spinner type, I use a small pyrex dish for my big battery charger
all picked up a thrift stores, and they look good too.

Just noticed that the charger is 4.2V and the Twist runs up to 4.8V, does this matter?
