Hi guys
I really want to pick up a couple of Isticks 100W. Fasttech seem to be completely sold out (I'm assuming the Isticks must be very popular?). Anybody know where else they can be bought at a reasonable price? If not I guess I'll just gave to wait until Fasttech get some new stock. Thanks in advance.

It seems that FastTech are still selling 4ml tanks out of the box!

mikemichelle Have a look at this website: www.inkedatty.com/I know that they do a lot of expansion kits for popular tanks, so maybe you get some luck there? Thanks for that. I reckon I'll just have to live with it. So I guess all new tanks are going to be of 2ml capacity? What a bummer!!! |

Oh Balls!!! Good question. Never thought of that so I guess I'm stuffed!!! Probably unless you can find a bubble tank that is the same height, what height is the glass that comes with the tank? It's very small. Would look like a ring on your finger so only a few millimeters. Moving swiftly on ......... |

How do you plan to extend the centre pillar of the RDTA so you can still put the thing together with the taller glass? Oh Balls!!! Good question. Never thought of that so I guess I'm stuffed!!! (I guess that's why I'm the Official Forum Thicko!) |

Hi guys,
Long story short: I have a couple of Peerless RDTA rebuildable tanks but they are only 2ml capacity (I gather this is part of the new law limiting tanks to 2ml). I've searched high and low but can't find Peerless 4ml replacement pyrex/glass tubes so I can increase the capacity. With 2ml, I'm going to be refilling every 5 minutes! Does anyone know where I can purchase any universal 4ml pyrex/glass tubes so I can at least try and see if they'll work without leaking?
Thanks in advance.
ps: Forgot to include the size which is 24mm.

Right guys, I'm finally all set with all the gear etc to attempt my first coil rebuild. I've got some superb (well I think so) rebuildable atomizers from FastTech. Check therm out here: Mini V3 Styled RTA. They are identical to the Kayfun V5 (clone) but just a bit smaller with a 19mm tank rather than 22mm tank. This makes them a bit smaller and a bit neater in my view and they match perfectly when sat upon my Eleaf iStick. I just don't like big, ugly clumsy looking tanks! Now to matters technical and techy I most certainly am not. The leaflet that comes with the gear recommends a minimum resistance of 1 ohm and an electric input from 7 watts to 30 watts. This is where I get hopelessly lost. Can someone please tell me what size kanthal and how many wraps I should be going for. I'll have a go at working it out myself but i'd really appreciate a second opinion just for safety's sake really if nothing else. (I do also have the slightly larger Kayfun V5 (clone) to fall back on if the Mini V3 doesn't work out for any reason). Many thanks as ever in advance guys. ps: not sure how this post has jumped right to the top of the page. Hope I didn't do something wrong. |

You need to lube the o rings that go around the deck and threading that the chimney screws on to. Your opening of the juice control shouldn't be stiff. Don't know how good your clones are but the tolerances are fairly tight. I don't have any issues with my genuine K5 and I always put a bit of juice on both o rings after a re-wick/clean of my build. Use a pair of Marigolds or a vape grip to give you enough grip to open it up. Failing that wrap a load of rubber bands around the base and chimney. Ingenious! The marigolds worked! Many thanks for sharing that bit of technology. And now to the lube. Excuse my ignorance but what do you use to lube the o rings? |

hot water and marigolds are norm your friend and if all else fails a small screwdriver in one of the air holes do sound like dry /sticky o rings Thanks decoy . I was beginning to think along those lines! Thinking again ... doesn't hot water make metal expand? What about cold water or freezer? I'm no scientist so please correct me if my thinking is wrong! |

Hi guys, I've just bought a couple of these (Kayfun 5 Clones from Fasttech) and have struggled and struggled to gain access to the coil so I can actually use the things. It seems it's screwed down so tight that I just can't get it unscrewed to get to the coil. Does anybody have a similar problem or can someone suggest a tip as to how I can unscrew the housing? It's so tight it almost feels like it's welded! Thanks in advance. |

Yeah I just checked again and I think it must have been out of stock. I've got some red writing that says: "ETA 1/16/2018 (in 3 days)"Happens fairly often and the ETA isn't a guarantee it will be in stock in 3 days, if one or more items in the order keep getting delayed you can use the open ticket button to ask them to split the order and ship the items that are in stock immediately and the rest later, when the stock arrives, they usually answer the ticket the next working day Yes they have split the order. I had 2 items and the first has shipped. I didn't notice whether it was in stock or not (dumbo) when I ordered. Will check properly next time! |
