Fasttech - comedy and a potentially interesting 50W mod

[thatguy]

So just happened to check new arrivals, and got a few surprises.

Fasttech new arrivals

1.   2 of todays arrivals already marked discontinued

2. Tube/box hybrid VW 50W mod -  can be turned into a mech as well.  here .  Not too hopeful for a score of notes, but an interesting idea so got one winging it's way (slowly, via Venezuela) to me.

I was looking at the Smowell too, I'm just put off by the allen screws to change the battery, I thought we'd got past that old chestnut

People may point out it can be charged via USB and vaped whilst charging so need for regular battery changing. It always puts me off a bit though if a USB port is on the base. If I have a tank sat on top, well it makes sense to have a charging port anywhere else but the base. Well it makes sense to me anyway but that proves nothing.

I was looking at them as well about an hour ago but I prefer my charging point on the side like the istick 50w

Side charging rules OK.

Shame about my iStick 20w's

My choice is.... 'if the battery CAN be removed I will remove it for charging'

I trust my D4 far more than ANY on board charge point, hence my comment about the screws

I don't like devices where the batteries are screwed in
in case i need to get it out quickly much prefer magnets.

WORD, saw one of those Kingpin 3fvapes VaporFlask DNA40 clones go into permanent fire tonight, it was quicker to unscrew the atty than deal with the screw in battery caps.

Or throw it on the floor - in the garden - out of the car window.
I prefer magnets, well fitted ones, also. But I'm not going to consider screws unsafe. I would rather stop altogether - ultimate safety.
Mechs are the tools that usually cause venting. There are few with magnets.
