That's brilliant if the heads are good as well as for me the originals are a bit pricey ,do you rebuild the heads Q

I keep meaning to, I've kept all my old ones, but whilst I have a stock of new ones the lazy side of me says "WHY?"

**I am talking about the Aerotank here, just as a comparison, I dont yet have a sub-tank**

to be honist a sub tank is just a ruddy daft aerotank ie bigger workings but i do like the YET

OK, so after the other thread over the last few days, it looksa like the Subtank nano may be the closest for what I'm after, so the question is, real or clone?? Anyone had experience of this from fasttech, it's $15 cheaper than the real one, but is it any good or a waste of dosh??

www.fasttech.com/products/0/10012000/2245000-subtank-nano-styled-clearomizer

they have some $5 dearer also, still $10 cheaper than real ones, but are they any good? Hanx in advance

Dunno about that one, but I have two of these -

www.fasttech.com/products/3006/10012000/2199600

and they're excellent. Just over a tenner, and they come with two heads, a spare tank and packaging that seems to me indistinguishable from the original.

Also picked up a couple of packs of these -

and they're also fine.

thanks everyone, especially Q Dave and car147 (soz if I've not mentioned you by name, the thread took off more than I thought it would)

think I'll hang fire (but have put stuff in FT cart ) to see how you guys get on with the clones when they land

I suppose the real question is:- is 10mm shorter worth it ??

[Perpetua]

Styled doesn't necessarily mean a copy GunJack . . . . I bought one of these on FT:

www.fasttech.com/p/2129501

It's actually an authentic Kanger item, with a verification code.

The OCC style heads I bought, were also genuine Kanger - just not boxed, but blister packed.

I spent an educational hour reading the Fasttech forums last week, and due to copyright restrictions, some of the 'style' FT offerings are actually the real deal, but with verification codes or manuals defaced so that no one can prove they are selling the real McCoy.
I have to admit that I have never bought an 'authentic' atomiser from FT, and have been pleasantly surprised with the items, so would be tempted to go clone, and replace with authentic heads where necessary!

Just got my subtank style mini and a 5 pack of clone coils from focalcig, the tank had all the bits with it but when i tried to open the base to fill her up the base was so tight only half the base come off then i got the wrench to the rest. Turns out the coil is bent, so i tried the other 5 coils and only 2 worked.
So left with 3 dead coils and 1 coil from the subtank. NOT GOOD
Maybe Foclecig can sort out the coils for the future
I tried some genuine coils and they all fit fine.
So the moral of the story, buy genuine coils to fit the clone subtank mini me thinks

Isn't the Nano just 3mm shorter and 3.5mm narrower than the Mini?

Must admit I'm tempted by the Nano as I'm finding the wicking is better using a recoiled OCC head versus the RBA deck (presumably due to the rather narrow juice channels).

I've ordered the style version plus authentic coils for subtank normal size.

that's the thing, really only wanted up to 19mm so I could use existing kit/adapters/afc, etc.... 22mm would overhang

mxethey Sorry to hear that Did you report it to [e-mail] and ask for replacement coils?

I did Foclecig but they wanted a video, i am not very good at uploading videos must be a age thing.
My kids helped me this time and sent via email.

Doris i know its late but my squape reloaded clone order no: Q92619443191 was faulty with the decks not fitting, but you asked me for a video for proof but i did not know how to do it. My kids could help me now, can i still get a refund please

[Foclecig]

Hello Mxethey, as soon as the problem is verified, we will issue solution by either refund, replacement or store credit.

Morning all, right as promised further back in this thread I said I would report my findings on the SubTank Mini and Nano I bought from FT.

Mini
And
Nano

Unpacked on arrival



I can find no difference in look or use of either compared to the originals, I can only think as mentioned elsewhere that these are actually genuine ( even has the hologram etc)

Cheers

Thanks for the write-up.

Have you checked the authenticity code with Kanger?

Nano checks out as genuine.    

Mini has been checked 1445 times   
So one checks out as genuine and the others some form of clone, albeit a pretty damn good one as I am yet to see any difference.
