Or rather the Kanger T3 is cloned by other companies and called MT3. Oh right..this is the only MT3 I was aware of when FastTech first started selling Evod copies they were listed as "MT3" and then they changed the name to "Evod" shortly after, FastTech themselves have said the Evods they're selling aren't made by Kanger.

The one thing my wife has asked is about vaping in the house.....what exactly to you exhale? Is there anything harmful in it and what about the smell? I've read that the fruit versions smell of fruit but do the tobacco flavours make the house smell like an ashtray? This is an interesting read; www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/12776603-latest-studies-confirm-ecigarette-vapor-safety "Some non-smokers have expressed concern about inhaling nicotine should they be exposed to exhaled vapor. It should be particularly comforting to observe that the quantity of nicotine in a puff of captured exhaled vapor too small--even if inhaled directly by a bystander--to have any health effects whatsoever. If a bystander were to lock lips with a user after each inhaled puff and take in the entire quantity of nicotine the user inhales, after 300 puffs the bystander would be exposed to 2.1 mg of nicotine, which is the approximate quantity present in a low-dose nicotine lozenge or piece of gum. At these quantities, nicotine is not a danger to health and does not cause addiction. Furthermore, the nicotine would be delivered much more slowly—at about 1/10 the speed of delivery from gum or lozenges. However, bystanders concerned about inhaling nicotine are unlikely to lock lips with an e-cigarette user, and since no nicotine was detected in the air samples taken in the stainless steel test chamber, it is apparent that the tiny amount of nicotine exhaled by the user is quickly diluted by mixing with the ambient air. As a result, bystanders are not exposed to nicotine at all." As for the smell, I don't vape tobacco flavours..mostly mint/menthol and sometimes Red Bull etc or Fruit flavours. Most of the liquids I vape leave hardly any smell, maybe a slight hint. Red Bull in particular is quite stong smelling though, to quote my brother when he came round one day after I'd first started vaping.. "bloody ell mate, what's going on! it smells like a sweet shop in here"

One of the many nice things about vaping is you can just put it down when you're satisfied 2 puffs or 20 puffs it's up to you. When I was a smoker I would often feel like I'd had enough when I was only half way through a ciggy, but would continue to finish it off just because it was there and didn't want to waste it.

depends on the nicotine strength mate, 36mg would probably give me all the nic I want in 2 or 3 puffs..24mg I usually have about 5 - 10 puffs before I put it down

I expect the seller just doesn't really know what they are..Evod clones were first listed on FastTech as an "MT3" he probably bought a load of them in bulk and is now selling them on Ebay.
It seems an unknown Chinese manufacturer (or several) are flooding the market with these Evod copies, they're ok but quality control isn't great.
The silicone O-ring around the base is a bit too big & often gets trapped between the base and the tank while tightening it.
The insulation bung on the ones I got is a flimsy silicone instead of the more robust rubber that Kanger uses. It doesnt do a very good job of keeping the positive wire in place, if you tighten it on to your battery a bit too much it may crush the bung and give you a short.

I can confirm the nitecore i4 charger that arrived today appears to work and be genuine, so a bargain at FT prices. Charged up some NiMH AA batteries on it and an 18650 and they test out at the voltage I'd expect and nothing made any noise, smoked or burned my flat out. Good choice. The nitecore chargers are definitely genuine. I feel much safer charging my batteries with the i4 than if I had a bundled charger. agreed, got a 2nd i4 charger from fasttech as a back-up, definitely the real deal identical to the one I bought in the uk.

They look genuine to me! The pic on VaporBreak shows the same chamfered edge might be a stock picture...I guess I'll find out
