Hi guys.
Okay, so my recently received iTaste SVD has some issues with misfiring&going into 'LOC' mode whenever it feels like!
After correspondence with FT, it's going back for replacement.
It's probably just as well I'm in no rush to get my replacement! Especially seeing as Chinese new year holidays are imminent!
Only got as far as being asked to provide "most economical shipping cost from post office."
I'm guessing they foot the bill for returned items?
So, with that, just wondering if anyone's had the experience of the same&how it all went for you!
I'm hoping, one day fairly soon, I'll receive my replacement!
Cheers

Hey guys. This may seem a little paraniod, but wonder if any of you can shed some light. SVD arrived yesterday from FastTech. It's working fine&am very impressed. Just a little niggle on the cosmetic side! On the unit itself, there's no 'ITaste SVD' scribed into the stainless steel above the fire button, &I've noticed on pretty much every other unit on YouTube vids, etc this I'd clearly visible. Could be nothing more than an oversight at the factory finishing stage, but having read so much about 'clones' &the possibility that some or all of these mods sold by FT might not be the real McCoy, I thought I'd put this concern to you all in the hope someone might have similar experience. Cheers guys&happy new year to you all! Mark This is source for "Innokin" brand on Fasttech: elego.en.alibaba.com/Alansi, cheers for that. If indeed it's not the genuine article&is manufactured by these guys, therefore a 'clone', just how safe is it to use? As in placing a fairly high powered battery in it&using it near your face?! I'm planning on ordering the original from MyEpack to draw comparison, but in the meantime, need I be concerned using this one? |

That's interesting, Perpetua. That add has changed since I ordered mine on 21 Dec. I ordered from the page which said "Authentic innokin iTaste SVD" Anyway, as Phil posted, if it's working&hopefully continues to do so, all's good. |

I think fast tech is a mix bag of goodies....some things genuine some fake.....but if it works your happy with it and it was a lot cheaper then be happy Absolutely Phil. A noticeable difference&improvement on the Vamo. & with Mrs.Lords Kendal Mint Cake in the iClear it's a delightful unit! |

Yep it should be fine Mark.  Cheers Perpetua. Guessed as much, just wanted to be certain. :-) AW don't appear to make an 18500, or at least not on Vape Gear's site. So ordered 18490 from them. Arrived in less than 24hrs after ordering! Cheers again. |

Hi guys.
I've currently got an Innokin SVD on order from FT.
Where it takes both 18650&18500's in extension mode, I'm guessing an 18490 would fit/be compatible too given there's not that much difference?
Cheers in anticipation guys&'Appy New Year!
Mark

Prepare for delays as not only Christmas shut down but then there will be Chinese new year when they have a month off  Ah. And there's that too! Cheers lazydog, bare that in mind. Reckon it might be quicker popping over personally in a coracle&picking it up?! :-) |

Just checked my order history marksvape, 39 deliveries from them in about 7 months, about a tenth as many as robby! 1 went tits up in November but PayPal refunded me no problem. The vast majority of what I've ordered has been excellent but as has been said, be selective, they sell some shite them, as my scouse workmates like to say  Nice one poochops (don't think I've ever written that before in my life!) Ok, FastTech order placed; I've banged my head against the wall a few times in order to forget having placed said order! So, when it eventually arrives, it'll be a nice surprise! :-) |

Thanks so much guys. Initial Google shows the words 'FastTech' & 'Knock-off' in the same sentence! But it would seem anything on their site with the word Authentic before it is genuine gear. Yes, and no. The "Authentic Kanger Protank" heads are not the same as the ones in the UK. I suspect they might be made by Kanger, but still not 100% the same.... Cheers again for that. I'll bare it in mind. Then again, being a Scouser, I'm used to knock off merchandise. WHO SAID THAT?! *note to self-must not perpetuate regional stereotypes* :-) |

As above really. If you order now expect a delay after a busy xmas period. They went through a real bad patch end oct-nov when shipping was taking a month. Most of my deliveries have taken 10-14 days. I order for friends as well and most of the stuff has been great. I've ordered 35 atties and only one has been duff. Careful because there is some tat on there, and it's very easy to get trigger happy with the buy button. I went through a minor addiction with fasttech, but that finished when my vape supplies looked like a small warehouse. Good luck. If seniorphil hadn't said that, I might not have just gone a bit ott on drip tips! lol Cheers once more for advice, man. :-) |
