Soot free flame, does the job in seconds, fills without a hitch and doesn't take up too much room.

I'm happy enough waiting when the reward is I pay half price. But the post is pathetically slow. China's a long way away, phooey. It's airmail - a flight from China takes 12 or 15 hours longer than a flight from Switzerland, not two weeks longer. I've had two orders from the US which were just as bad.

It defies sense.

In trying to explain it, those who do it are rationalising. By that I mean: we do something, then when asked why, we try to come up with a rational explanation. The reason being, we consider ourselves rational people and so assume we have rational reasons for what we do. Some high Watt vapers look at possible rational reasons, see they don't really fit and admit it is a bit crazy. I have a feeling that it is because we are addicted to nicotine. Satisfying an addiction stimulates the pleasure centres of the brain, there is a feeling (whether we're aware of it or not) that more vapour will produce more pleasure. It doesn't work that way with addiction but it doesn't stop us trying. I think shinnyitis also is connected to nicotine being addictive.

I've not even used the 15 Watts I have available now but I bet when 30 Watt mods come down in price I'll buy one.

Now FastTech have stopped shipping them.

I just read Robby's comment in the Kamry pipe thread that when Innokin started supplying Fasttech they took the name of their products. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple of good reasons for doing this

i) They don't want to upset other vendors they supply (there might even have been a term in the contract at the time not to sell to other vendors at a lower price)
ii) They want to sell the same product on two markets - the name brand market, where prices are higher and the generic market where prices are lower. After all if they don't sell on the generic market somebody else will copy there goods and sell them on the generic market.

This rang a bell with the material stainless steel, minor parts may not be stainless steel description. I was wondering how can a company be so stupid as to make an atty out of stainless steel and then put non SS screws in (saving a tenth of a penny). It seems so dumb, but perhaps it's just the genuine article with cheap screws so that people will be more inclined to pay extra for the "genuine article" and thrifty vapers will buy the cheap version and change the screws on delivery. ie they are selling in both markets.

I think this may well be what Youde are doing. Otherwise why would they not be selling to Fasttech. It would also explain the quick appearance of "fake" IGO Ms, which are exclusive products - ie a vendor has commissioned Youde to make the IGO M to their own design, and only supply it to them (as they did with the AGA W).

Sorry to all AAEC Far East correspondents if this is something they know all about already.

Consider the Sigelei SS V2 - beats the Vamo for looks but cant be made mini and quite a good menu although nothing beats the good old Vamo menu.
