Wireandstuff have just stocked some nice looking wire - 26*2x38 fused Clapton, available in kanthal, ni80 and ss316, should be pretty good with that high gauge on the outside.

My current DNA collection, from DNA 40.. 75, 133, 200 & 250w, some home made.

 

[Yas786]

That's a lot of DNA mods. Originally I was thinking of selling my DNA 200 lost vape triade mod but decided to keep it.

I have a G Priv mod that I use most of the time and use my triade at home. Although saying that it looks like my G Priv mod may be faulty. Today put on my serpent mini tank with a .22 coil and it's saying ohms too high. Tried a few more tanks and same thing so might have to send it back to fasttech as that is where I got it from .

Before I do, I'll see if there is an update for it.

 

[Yas786]

Right did the update and it seems to have fixed the issues I was having.

But to be on the safe side I took apart the serpent mini, thank god that they designed it so you don't have to drain the juice from the tank. Anyhow took the old coil off and put the twisted coil that came with the serpent mini and it works perfectly well at .36 ohms.

Got a new juice as well today, new range from nasty juice...picked up a bottle of trap queen which is a strawberry flavour with koolada and wow nice juice.

 

[Van Diemen]

I picked up a bottle of Nasty Juice, Kush Man. Mango w/low mint. absolutely amazing juice.

It's like a freshly picked Alphonso mango. Reminded my of the summers I spent in India.

Yeh I was going to get that one but they didn't have any in stock. I tried the fat boy juice from their early range and that was quite nice but didn't really like it all that much.

Their ape man juice was quite nice as well but my local vape shop only had the trap queen in stock. I'll probably pick up Cush man next week when they get more stock in.

So I am off to NYC in 18 days and not sure wether to take my Alien and Troll V2 with me or just buy a small device when I get there, such as the mini volt or the tarot Nano. Any thoughts please?

Also what are the vaping laws there?

Finally anyone know of any good Vape stores in Midtown Manhattan?

Take it with, just make sure any liquid you take is marked clearly, if they ask to scan it, let them (most likely to happen traveling back through TSA). Make sure to empty your tank before getting on the plane, if not the pressure will do it for you

Unsure on vaping laws, but I suspect it may vary state to state, as for shops I suspect Manhattan will have plenty, when I was in Houston, in a relatively suburban area, there were ~15 vape shops within a 10 min drive of me.

Do a bit of googling, ask on reddit (/r/electronic_cigarette/) too, bound to get some recommendations

Did a bit more work on my Moonshot box to tidy it up a bit:

Picked up a Troll RDA, second hand, for £20, put in dual Juggernauts, came in at 0.1ohms and at 100w... very nice, not hot at all, just nice and warm, great flavour.

 

[pgi947]

I gave up on juggernaut wire, was a pain to wrap, then constantly spat hot liquid at me

Mod looks nice btw!

Little update for all, I'm just about to start working on my FastTech buying guide for all those that haven't used it before, or maybe aren't using it to its full potential

 

[UKDTweak]

The Juggernaut wire is stiff stuff, but i managed to get it in the coil master coil and wrap spaced coils, started at 55w but got nothing, so bumped upto 70w and they started to give a little vape, then jumped to 100w and going great, no spits, only issue i have is its 316L SS but wont work in TC on my mod.
The mod in the picture is my custom CNC box, DNA250, 1300Mah lipo

FASTTECH BUYING GUIDE!
​

What is Fasttech (FT): Fasttech.com is a China based retailer for ecig goods and electronics amongst other things.

Whoah, China? isn't that risky? Not really, they accept PayPal, have very responsive and active customer service and are held in high regard - especially by the vaping community.

How do I know what I'm buying is legit? FT mark everything clearly if it is a legitimate 'Authentic' item or if it is a clone. Genuine items will ALWAYS be marked as Authentic, while clones will ALWAYS be marked as 'Styled'. See below...

As you can see, the legitimate items and clone items are marked as I described above. Authentics will always be just that, FT have far more to lose then gain by trying to pass of clones as Authentic.

Why should/shouldn't I buy the clone? This is something you have to weigh up for your self with the information I'm about to give you.

The Authentic will, in 99% of circumstances, be significantly cheaper then buying it retail in the UK, especially for mods. It will also be in the same packaging/condition you would expect from a local retailer.

The Clone will, again, be significantly cheaper (as above), though you may risk it not being 1:1 (identical in every way), having some defects you wouldn't find on an Authentic, have different packaging. To make the most educated selection you can, look for listings with many positive reviews, usually a good sign its up to scratch, its also worth looking out clones made by manufacturers such as SXK and SJMY, these are almost always very good quality.

My authentic is missing its validation information? It doesn't appear to as big of an issue for FT as it once was, but due to undercutting the manufacturer RRP, some manufacturers refused to deal with FT directly, so they had to stock via a 3rd party, as serials and the likes are traceable, they can be removed before shipping in order to protect their 3rd party supplier in the form of removing validation stickers. This does not affect your warranty with FT.

Shop smart! Take time to note the shipping estimates on everything you add to your order and split your order accordingly to get your items quicker. Anything listed as being 'In Stock' or 'Ships Next Day' will be in stock and ship ASAP. Anything with a lead time, will usually say something like 'Due xx/xx/xxxx (6 days)' or 'pre-order, due xx/xx/xxxx (12 days) are estimates, I've had some ship sooner, some ship later, do not request to ship this items with your 'in stock' stuff, as the entire order will be held until everything is in stock.

I want to buy batteries... You're safe enough to buy batteries from FT, make sure they're listed as 'Authentic' and crack on, just make sure to check which shipping option FT advise for batteries, not all carriers will accept lithium batteries, which will deflect them onto a sea route, giving you a ~3 month shipping time. At last glance Sweden Post was the 'go to' carrier, shipping being around 2 weeks. In all honesty though, you won't save that much in comparison to somewhere like FogStar or Ecolux, for the hassle of shipping I'd advise to use one of the aforementioned UK based suppliers. This also applies to buying mods with fitted battery packs, you'll be in for a longer-then-usual shipping time.

Anything I shouldn't buy? Note these are my personal preference, I'm not in charge of what you buy...

Clone mods - Should be self explanitory
E-Liquid - You don't know what you're getting or that its been mixed in an ISO clean room.
Batteries, or anything containing a battery (see above)

What shipping option should I use? You should (at time of writing) always use the UK Express EPacket, yes its something like $1 or so extra, but the delivery time is superb, on average you're looking 6-7 days from point of shipping, which is pretty damn good for going half way around the world. The China Post free option has decayed somewhat in the last few months, it used to be reliable for a 10-14 day delivery, more recently they've been taking 6-8 weeks!

Your checkout shipping should look like this:

My item has broken, or arrived broken, what can I do? FT customer support, is IMO, very very good. If you have an issue, simply log into your account and open a support ticket, if warranted make sure to take and attach pictures/videos where possible as this will speed things up. If it requires a return FT will in one way or another cover you, see their returns policy for more information: https://www.fasttech.com/pages/standard-return-policy




Anything I've missed or I feel needs to be added I will update accordingly.
