Very nice! Been wanting to do something like this myself, maybe with stabilised wood or acetate.

Honestly I'm never right, but ye I would personally stick with the "authentic!" heads. For the price of the cheap ones worth sticking them in a draw or something just in case apocalypse. That said I rebuild coils. All coils. I only ever buy them once. I'm of the ready coil persuasion faren . . . . but sometimes installing them is even too much effort for me.  Stocks aren't an issue though.  allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/61346/ready-coil-issues?page=1 That's a bad case of the shinies you have there!! |

Indeed. I think the thing about fasttech and the likes is they switch supplier so often for clones it's difficult to keep up. They have got much better at making new sku's though, but even that becomes confusing. Especially for a newbie. I think sometimes they are substituting one clone for another just to keep up with demand. You're probably right faren , though I've decided to stick with authentic/genuine heads from now on as it's put me off. My own fault, for buying so many of them.

I'd be tempted to bundle in a a couple of the clones with a packet of the authentic ones just to see what their like myself  Me to . . . though I've come a cropper doing that in the past as well! The first pack of clone Nautilus coils I bought were brilliant - so I bought 10 packs on the strength of that as you do. The next lot I used, were horrible.  But you don't know until you try. Indeed.

Yep, the Nitecore i2, D2, i4 & D4 all charge at max of 750 mA, i4 & D4 max of 375 mA with 3 or 4 cells compared to the 2 A from the Xtar SP2 it's a massive difference. Just has a quick look and ther are some on eBay for £18 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261965232440. IMO I would get a 2nd SP2 because you can charge 4 batteries with 2 of these in under 2 hours vs the D4s will take 8+ hours. I don't charge batteries unattended and with a good stock of batteries I never have to find time to charge batteries or run out of charged batteries, both of these things really pi55 me off so I think it's a good investment. Time estimates are based on the batteries needing a full charge, you can shorten them by topping up more often. Also not all batteries will take a 2 A charge, HG2, HE2, HE4, 25R & VTCs are all rated a 4 A fast charge so it's not going to stress them much. Very sound advice. Personally I have to buy things in £8 increments so as not to upset the mrs too much (wish I was joking). She still has shell shock from my days of RC helis where I wouldn't think twice about spending a grand on lipo's, chargers and the latest trex. I tread carefully . |

Use BOTH ! 2 in each Great idea Absolutely was thinking this too. Although the slower charging is much kinder to your batteries if you're not in a hurry. |

Ah ok make sense now well hopefully i will only need to charge 2 a day then and use bay 1 and 3 or go back to my xtar sp2 2bay jobbie and just do 2 at a time i suppose i could use both chargers with 2 in each but sort of defeats the idea of buying this one  Ah, I knew there was a reason I was using two I2s instead of one of these. |

Beat me to it!! GG  Yours is a better link though faren . . . . more options.  Though I do wonder what the non authentic coil heads are like - my experience has been mixed with them from FT. I'm just relieved to have been vaguely in the right direction!  I'd be tempted to bundle in a a couple of the clones with a packet of the authentic ones just to see what their like myself |

Bookmarked! I may buy another for full stealth that I can lock away when I'm planning on drinking . I've got a kick to throw in this one with sc protection so it's going to be a little longer, sadly. But I really like my teeth! If you want a short mech with short circuit protection check out the Atto, it has all the protections you get with a kick but without the VW it just kicks out straight voltage from the battery, comes with an 18350 and 18650 tube, you will want nipple top batteries though. 18350 mode next to a Wotofo Lush  £10.62 on FTReplacement boards in case you fry one £1.98Will handle builds down to 0.2ohm but recommended to stay above 0.25ohm. INSTALL BATTERY NEGATIVE FIRST TOWARD THE TOP. Wow! I've been looking for something like this for the wifey Thrown 2 in basket Appreciated. Bookmarked! I may buy another for full stealth that I can lock away when I'm planning on drinking . I've got a kick to throw in this one with sc protection so it's going to be a little longer, sadly. But I really like my teeth! You can never have too many nemesis'  Nemesis porn |

Didn't recognise it at all. Looks much better sanded down, kind of grungy / steampunk. DNA chips are a bit rich for my blood though. That nearly all suffered from crappy paint and yeah it is a bit steampunk. If you don't mind spending around 45 quid fasttech has a smy sdna75 which has a genuine DNA chip in and seems to be getting favourable reviews. It's in my basket Oh god I think the mrs would kill me! I'm running out of 'hand me downs' to pacify her with gift her! |
