Hi all. Last year I started vaping, and I actually stopped smoking for over three months. I started on an ego4 I think it was, my batteries came loose and e kept breaking the leads, and had a lot of faulty coils out the box. I left it and went back to smoking soon after. About 4 Months ago I bought a twisp clearo. I loved it, but one of them went missing and one battery wasn't enough, so a few weeks went by and my buddy gave me his old ego battery. About a month ago I put in my last coil and it wasn't firing at all. I went to buy a new coil, and the vender wasnt selling anymore clicks was out too. So I put everything in a box and gave up. I started smoking again. I was missing that cape taste, so I stared reading on products in south Africa and the prices were outrageous. I suddenly read about people fixing their own coils, I then started to try and find out more. That's when my bang I found so much info and I had no idea where to start or end. So I took one step at a time and started at the beginning where e cigs started, and just took it from there. I am now proud to say that a week ago I started vaping again and also ordered myself a bunch of goods from fasttech.( I know its probably gonna take more than a month. I even went as far as to find that out.) Anyway I ordered a nemises, a kick2 , orched v3, patriot RDA, 28 kanthal, 1,5 ohm, 18650 batteries, charger, cotton, juice and a few things I forget. I am gonna run the orchid with a singe 1,5ohm coil,(I know its dual, but I found how.) Then I can practice on the patriot. Once I get my package I will have many questions. I just hope there are we here with similar setups. Thanks all. And enjoy the vape. PS I am an electrision so I know ohms law so I will be very safe.
I vape on and off

Most welcome to the forum and all the best on your intended journey. The gear you ordered are known around here - so shout if you have any questions. Do also browse the forums and make use of the search function.
The bad news is that your order from Fasttech (aka Slowtech) includes batteries, which means it can only be shipped by boat. This could take quite a lot longer than a month.

I know that, but I am hoping for the best I actually ordered it almost two weeks ago and it was shipped about a weak ago. I did want to buy batteries local for that exact reason, but I was completely exhausted with all the research. I am happy that there are people with all the info thanks. Just wish more people knew about all the benefits of vaping over smoking. I feel so much better when I vape and taste, it's great.
Welcome @jackass
Glad to hear you've decided to give vaping another go - it's so worth it
The stuff you ordered are all available locally and there are many members on here who use them, so any questions you have will be dealt with swiftly and thoroughly
I'm curious as to why you went the Fasttech route, as the local vendor stock some fantastic stuff which is priced quite decently - no judgement though, just curious
Also, are you set for juices?
There is such an amazing selection available from local vendors that it's not really difficult at all to find good juice - again just curious
Best of luck with the wait...as @Andre said, it might take a very long time - some members have waited 3-6 months for stuff from fasttech because our postal service is just crap
If you do run out of patience, just ask and we can give you many recommendations for excellent stuff from local vendors

first i just want to say welcome and congrats on your willingness to give up on the stinkies.while you wait for fasttech there is a classifieds section to the forum and there could be some second hand gear going for cheap if you are fast enough.you sure hit the jackpot for info when you joined the forum. just make sure you get back up gear so that you don't go back to stinkies.
Just a little note: You will not be able to run the Nemesis with a kick AND 18650 battery.
Just wont fit.
When using a kick, you sacrifice a portion of your battery chamber - best guess is 18500/18490 that will fit.
... Just a heads-up!
@WHeunis - The Nemesis should be kickable in all battery modes.
(My FT clone was)I don't have pics of mine to illustrate the point, so I found these on the web to use as reference.
Full Nemi with 18650 battery and kick next to it :
Nemi and 18650 battery with kickring and beauty ring removed :
Basically it makes your mechanical mod a regulated mod.
What @Andre said.
Iirc, they are also mainly for higher resistance builds. (although this could have changed)
The only reason for going through fastt is because they had everything I needed and the prices were good enough. I did research on how long it takes on this forum, but I always read about 2 months. I am patient, but not 6 months patient. I am now wondering whether I made a mistake. O wel what's done is done. Could you send me some of the venders that do currently sell in sa so I can do we research. Much appreciated thanks.Welcome @jackass

Here is a link to the vendor's section: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/categories/retailers-vendors.11/
When ordering from FT in future, split your batteries into a separate order. As mentioned before, Batteries go by boat and the quickest I have seen them get here is around 3 months. Also, with the current state of SAPO, I refuse to import anything that goes through them.
Also, if you want vendors to reply, post a thread in "who has stock" as they are not allowed to post on equipment elsewhere.
Here you go
My recommendation would be to look at the iStick 30W with a Mini Aspire Nautilus on top and some extra BVC coils.
Thanks baksteen I will not go through fasttech with batteries again. I will go for other thing though if I am not in a hurry.Also, if you want vendors to reply, post a thread in "who has stock" as they are not allowed to post on equipment elsewhere.
That's cool thanks.
I look into that one. For sure.
All at the same place:
