St. Georges Road, markus, up near the secondary school! I'm convinced there are toffe trees in the back garden of the old no. 48, and you had better be quick, spacey is on a mission!! lol.....I know where that is, I used to live in Madison Terrace & Sea lane near the police station. |

My favourite toffee from childhood was a soft toffee in a paper wrap of white with blue lines, twisted around the sweet. My next door neighbour used to keep a bag of these in his jacket pocket and would throw them into our garden when we were out playing for us to find. I got so highly attuned to the sound of a toffee falling into the undergrowth, but I'm sure there must be some still in the ground somewhere. If you live in Hayle, check your gardens for toffee trees!! I used to live in Hayle....never found any toffees in the garden :-( |

Its got their logo on it!....I'd want a good discount if im advertising their company...lol
On a more serious note, Im more than happy with this IPV2 & dont see any need for the extra power, infact I dont even see me using/needing the full 50W of this one, perhaps because the IPV2 was such a good seller they thought the IPV3 would be as well (wish I'd seen that offer vaping bad, I coulda saved meself some wonga)

I find the long ones easier to use than box mods and give me a cleaner and nicer vape I can understand the tube mods being nicer to handle, but how do they give you a cleaner & nicer vape ?.....  |

Two of the tired arguments against clones on (ahem) certain forums/FB groups that make me chuckle are... "The sale of clones stifles innovation"... Really? With a new mod/atty literally coming out every week that argument doesn't hold much water. And "with all your clones you could've bought one genuine"...um yeah,I know that but you've got one option and I've got 6 different options that perform brilliant for the same price cheers  For me the perfect example of a great clone is a copy of a certain £100 + uk made atomiser of which was expected to fail miserably and couldn't be cloned anyway because it was too complex. But to be quite honest the Chinese exceeded all expectations as it's brilliant (much to the disgust of the above forum) therefore a great indicator that the days of cheap shitty clones from certain manufacturers are long gone. Surely you can mention names on here without making people who havent been vaping very long guess ?? coudnt care about the forum but Id like to know the name of this atty ? |

Bit hypocritical of paypal really, considering how many transactions are made every day on Alibaba using paypal (alibaba being the copy capital of the internet).
But then ebay are just as bad.....E-cigarettes & associated items are prohibited items on ebay, but a quick search will bring back 1000's of items....(including plenty of clones)

Surely a way to get round paypal would be to change the descriptions?.....(using kayfun as an example)....instead of Kayfun clone.....Kayfun styled ?......or even change the name....Krayfun...lol

That's always been the way with paypal and ecigs and anything else on their prohibited list. Buyer beware really?....I never knew that  ...I wonder if FT would tell them its e-cigs though ?....on both parcels ive had from FT it just said electronic parts, so I guess you could argue that point? |

Anyone seen this on FT forums ?....wonder if it applies to us here in europe ?
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE REF PAYPAL
I have had 4 Claims in with paypal for items NOT RECEIVED all 4 were closed down today as "INTANGIBLE" .. I have rang Paypal & asked WHY this is ..Here is the response I received
As Paypal is owned by E Bay & Ebay class Electronic Cigarettes as "restricted items" you are NOT COVERED by the Paypal 45 day money back policy if the item is "lost" / NOT received / received broken or damaged.
well Hells Bells now here a thing isn't it !!!!! .... Waste of time opening a dispute with Paypal as YOU WON'T WIN IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......
All I can suggest to others who are about to or are currently pursuing claims is DO NOT TELL PAYPAL ITS AN "ELECTRONIC CIG" YOU HAVE PURCHASED .............. Tell em its a flash light .. tell em ANYTHING but DO NOT tell its a "E Cig" ..
Your claim will get Closed down as "intangible" & you get NOTHING .. NO second chance ..NO RE-COURSE to Appeal .. NOTHING................
BEWARE MEMBERS .... This is HUGE NEWS to all who buy E Cigs & associated equipment from Fast Tech
You are NOT covered by the Paypal 45 day "guarantee"......
If Fast Tech CHOOSE to inform Paypal that you HAVE purchased E Cigs & equipment .. YOUR SUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aspire Nautilus tank in good condition up for trade, I do like this tank but I hate re-building the coils & prefer to use my other RBA's so its just sat here not being used anymore......I think I must add that this tank has been drilled so that it now has 2 air holes (which in my opinion has improved it) I.E....one large & one small air hole, turn the ring & youll have one large & one medium air hole...turn again & you have 2 small...etc etc I would upload a pic showing you the modified air hole & ring but the pic uploader doesnt work for me anymore so I cant :-( But if your interested you can PM me your email address I'll be quite happy to email you a pic. It will come with its original box, beauty ring & 4 used BDC coils (all have been re-coiled) & I'll chuck it through the ultrasonic cleaner before I post it out to you (its never had any stinky flavours used like..... custard  ) , Another thing I need to mention is it doesnt have the original metal drip tip, if the RDA your offering doesnt have a 510 fitment then I'll include a black plastic one, If it is a 510 then we can just keep them & not include them in the deal (esp if yours is metal because I hate metal drip tips anyway) I'd like to trade it for an RBA, which one/type ? ....well im not sure so W.H.Y.....In an ideal world I'd like to get something like a clone RSST, Kraken or Russian 91%...or something along those lines, but will consider others.....If you offer something I want & you think your RBA is worth more then I would be happy chucking you the difference through paypal. So if youve got an RDA your not using anymore & youd like a tank thats condidered one of the best you can buy then PM me ;-)...(sorry but I wouldnt be interested in any RDA's) |

To big a question for a poll from my point of view and a lot depends of the price of the original and if it is complex electronics. I think with mech mods and atomisers it is easier to judge the quality of a clone and tweak any short comings. I have a few kayfun clones that cost under a nine quid that I will happily attack with a drill and probably get a better vape that if I paid seven times the price for the original, but if the original was £30 I would have bought at least one. I love my clone Krakens they are quite simple to copy and cost less that a fifteenth of the price of an original and that is taking the pish IMO and cancels what ever guilt I may have felt. I was seriously tempted to get an Origen Genesis v2 for £100, but then the DNA40 was released so maybe one for for yule present. I wouldn't get a clone DNA as the real boards are a reasonable price and I don't believe any of the clones would perform as well. But it is extremely difficult to be able to judge how good the clones boards are as reviewers don't seem to put them through their paces other than checking the output voltage and don't have time to assess the reliability. I think that the high end manufactures need to reduce their prices as this is really an artisan in a small workshop that the poll applies to. And personally I don't won't to pay for a fancy box, ultra fine finish or engravings but they do not offer high quality no frills stuff. What he said ^^^^^ Except for I did buy a Hana clone & didnt like it, but Im glad Ive sold it & got my money back & the only reasons I didnt like it was because of the firing delay & bearing style buttons (i prefer the flat style buttons on my IPV2)....& Im also glad I didnt cough up the £150+ for the original Hana only to find out it wasnt for me. I also think the market for genuine vape gear will get cheaper as it gets even more popular & the technology improves along with the competition of other suppliers, I can remember paying £300 just for a CD player for my technics hifi system when they first came out...now look how much they cost!, We've come along way in the field of electronics since then so the price drop should be quicker now...(shouldnt it??). I realise someone had to design the original but in my opinion that still cant justify the excessive prices some companies ask for some products, theres no way on this earth I'd pay over £100 for any single piece of vape gear & even at that money I'd still be thinking...should I really be spending that much? I guess there will always be a top end of the market (like the ridiculously priced £600 vicious ant mod) but I think thats for the "keep up with the jones's people", even if I had loadsa money in the bank I still wouldnt pay that kind of money for a mod. I dunno perhaps im just a bit tight fisted when it comes to spending money?.....but seriously £600 for a Mod ? Im sure its a nice bit of kit but...Jezus for that kinda money I'd expect it to help me out with a morning hard on !!! I also guess it also comes down to what you like & think somethings worth, Years ago I paid £3900 for a pair of snakes from Germany & I know someone that paid $30,000 dollars for 1 snake he had imported from USA....now whilst I wouldnt pay that much for any reptile I'm sure theres plenty of people that would think we've both got a screw loose for paying that much for a snake!.....but like everything prices do come down....14 years on both of those snakes can now be bought for less than £200. |

) , Another thing I need to mention is it doesnt have the original metal drip tip, if the RDA your offering doesnt have a 510 fitment then I'll include a black plastic one, If it is a 510 then we can just keep them & not include them in the deal (esp if yours is metal because I hate metal drip tips anyway)
