Just received my 5th Fasttech order. All in good order and working. Took about 2 weeks which is fine. Very impressed overall with them as a Chinese vendor. Have had numerous problems with most others. A question about my K100 that arrived if I may. Despite having read numerous threads about protected/non protected batteries I am still unsure about the classification of these :- Panasonic CGR 18650CH. I believe they are called "Hybrid" but no idea whether that makes them safe for use in my K100. I already use them in my Vamos, but the K100 being mechanical has no protection of its own. Any help appreciated. For vaping especially at high load they appear to be up there with the best, in a short curcuit scenario which is the most likely failure in an ecig they just get hot, don't explode or vent. |

Last order was twenty days before it landed in the uk with two days to delivery within the uk, I'm used to long delivery times since I often by electronic parts from Dealxtreme which have taken up to two months before. If you want stuff quick then don't put too many different items in one order since they often have to wait for deliveries to come in to them and they won't be sent till the last item is in stock.

The Sanyo 18500's are fantastic, had close to 24 hours out of one on a 1.8ohm evod with the Evic. Actually better lifespan than some of the 18650s I've used. Glad I have more on order already.

The Gillette Fusion blades are fakes or substandard genuine blades, they're ok if you don't mind going over the same area twice as much as UK sourced blades but the do feel a lot rougher and can imagine someone with rougher skin than mine may have a problem with cuts. They do hold up to close inspection with the blade gap being consistent although the copper area is a lighter shade than on the original and the lubrastrip thing barely lasted one shave.  |

The KirFanis Evic tele is the prettiest in my opinion, sort of regret getting the 18500 brushed and gone for the telescope instead, it looked a bit odd in the preview shots but looks lovely in your photo Robby.

Anyone else think some retailer is buying up the lot? The non-beauty ring was in stock (for less than 24 hours). Never seen stuff empty stock so quickly on Fasttech. Expect to see Protanks at your local brick and mortar for the bargain price of £25

Just receieved my order from 25th May, something I didn't notice previously, when the package actually landed in th UK the tracking information changed to "The item (tracking number) arrived at its destination country on 12-Jun-2013" where previously it had just stated left Hong Kong. I think it's safe to say, for the UK at least, until tracking actually says it's arrived here then it's going to a minimum of two days before delivery, might save people waiting in or worrying about missing a delivery.

By the time the change to classification is made any base bought today will be out of date unless frozen under the right conditions and even then it's borderline. I'll panic buy late 2015 if there hasn't been. a succesfull legal challenge.

Mike Weaver93's post is making me think that orders with batteries involved are maybe getting extra delays, I know the Chinese suppliers had battery shipping problems and RM recently changed their rules regarding lithium, haven't kept up with that change and not sure if RM is relevant here, I certainly had some EGOs delivered recently and quickly but not naked cells.

This has got to be the most remarkable FAIL in the history of APVs. I simply have NO idea that these bits do.....  w.t.h. How can someone be happy marketing a product that doesn't even tell you what it does? If I have an eVic - do I need on of these? I have money? Help... ??? The other replies covered it but basically its a cheap replacement head £20 vs the full head which is about £40. Probably doesn't have all the software features of the full head and probably isn't reprogrammable. The caps are just non-tapered top caps which should help a carto tank or protank fit and look a bit better. I broke my evic head through dropping it with a stainless (heavy) tube attached so I would have got one of these cheaper heads but epoxy fixed my 510 connector section perfectly (and it survives drops now). |

I don't bother checking anything related to shipping for a month after I hit the paypal pay button, I'd never order anything that I need urgently from Asia....just order and fuggedaboutit.

Well I get covered in the stuff too when I'm mixing, I also spill occasional amounts on clothing and furniture and it never permamently stains. I suppose a particularly dirty base could stain if it has tobacco impurities in it but that's not nicotine. Think nicotine patches etc..
