I don’t think it’ll take 26650’s, but if you want it as a thrower, go with the U2-1B version
Edit: obvious spec error there, the U2 version has a 39mm head…
If that’s the tube size, maybe it will take 26650’s…
Edit2: must take 26650’s it has adapters in one pic.
for items like the E-Liquid, instead of listing every flavor, size and strength could you just list it by size and strength? since when you click on any of the say, 100ml/ultra high, you can select what flavor you want from the drop down menu
that would make it a lot easier to browse the ecig catagory.
besides that, prices are real good. if i knew you had ejuice i would have bought some earlier to try instead of vapor4life earlier today… i will be buying a few smaller bottles of different flavors to try out, and most likely will stock up on what ones i do like
edit: maybe you could set up a sampler pack of your ejuice also. maybe one for tobacco/menthol flavors with a 10ml bottle in desired strength of each. then an all other flavors (foods and sweets i guess it could be called), also with a 10ml bottle of desired strength of each flavor included.
if anyone is there looking to try ecigs out for the first time, it would be incredibly helpful. also, anyone looking to try the flavors you sell could benefit, as they can try them all to find out what flavors suit them, and then buy larger quantities of the ones that they like
Hey fast Tech. How about When packaging and shipping your Empty Aluminium Smooth or Orange peel Drop-In Modules you put the reflector in it’s own bag separate from the brass pill and spring… I got my dropins today and both refelctors were scratched up.
Other then that my order was fine and showed up fast.
Looks to be real 68mm if you compare to size of XM-L.
I just received three empty P60’s from FT and two of them had the reflector wrapped in an extra bag inside the zip-lock bag. I guess I got lucky because the one that wasn’t wrapped is not scratched.
This is bizarre. We did implement better packaging for the reflectors (along with glass lens) but there shouldn’t be two types of packaging mixed in one single shipment. Sorry about that! I will personally check and make sure everything on the shelf is properly packed now.
Just got an interesting message from Nitecore:
Despite our love to bring great deals to everyone, we’re not in the business to fight with manufacturers, especially one that makes relatively decent lights. But you just can’t help but wonder what she means by “we’ll have to do sth strong.” 
The EA4 is listed for $69.95 on Amazon so unfortunately we have to (reverse) price match it now 
.
Fasttech have updated specs. So it is now 100% official that it use 26650s too.
Whoa, that is crazy! Nitecore just lost a fan due to threats…
I’d say it’s pretty standard for a manufacturer to protect it’s MSRP. They really do not want their product being sold for significantly less than everyone else. It can get them in hot water with the other retailers and can undermine their pricing strategy. A lot of big manufacturers will not let retailers pick a price, especially when it first launches the product. I’m guessing “sth strong” means something strong like not supplying FT anymore, or raising their purchase price.
Again FT does the right thing by letting us know why it’s happening and still being able to offer the products at the best prices available.
A lot of companies have MAP policies, and there's no point in having it if it's not enforced. Try dealing with Sony or Apple on these policies, it's a whole heck of a lot worse.
The behavior is standard, the wording of that message not so much.... reminds me a bit of the Sopranos. ..... or else....
My thoughts exactly. I know this happens often(Benchmade I know for sure does it), but a threatening letter is not the way to go about it…
i’ve seen other online stores that advertise the MAP on the website, but if you put the item in your shopping cart it shows a lower price. they do this to not violate the MAP policy, but still keep good prices. maybe you could do something like that as well, add to the description “add to cart to see actual price”? or maybe just have a coupon for that flashlight?
i made my second order half an hour ago, some arduino-related things, and a 8*amc nanjg driver for (probably) the wallbuys u2 c8 that has the awful next-mode-memory.
Thank you for the suggestion. The FastTech site does have a provision for this functionality.
Has anyone seen any distributors of Nitecore or other brand name Chinese flashlights doing this? If it turns out to be an industrial practice (for Chinese brand flashlights) then we’ll give this a go right away. Otherwise, we’re pretty sure Nitecore means they don’t want the lights sold below MAP and we’ll likely stir them up even more over this matter — the message we shared above isn’t the only we received before price was adjusted.
After seeing this I started to hate this nitecore brand and I will stay away from them.
Who do they think they are ?
Very threatening words! And humiliating!
If I was fasttech I would remove all nitecores from sale.
Can somebody - another company - make a similar, better or clone of this ea4? I will be the first to order!
By the way who are you fasttech ?
Are you guys really from earth? lol
Really thanks for amazing prices and first class customer service!
A lot of sites do that with all sorts of stuff. And I haven’t seen a site at $74.99 either
We agree. Amazon does it very often as well, but we’re interested in sites carrying Chinese brand name lights. We ask because from their messages we’re pretty sure Nitecore means actual sale price.
We should add that we weren’t made aware of, or agree to bind to any MAP in the first place. Nitecore has a large distribution network in China. You can only take our words on this but their guys didn’t pass that information on, and now they get upset over this.
I’m thinking a simple way is a coupon code on products you’d like to ‘adjust’ the price on. You can still advertise the ‘happy price’ for manufacturers, but peeps in the know get the price you want to sell at. Call it a sale if you have to.
The in-cart adjustment would work too, it’s just a lot more obvious and may still be frowned upon.
There is MAP and Unilateral. MAP is the minimum advertised price, and unilateral is the price that it cannot be sold below (even with discounts). But these days each manufacturer/vendor seems to want you to implement these in different ways. Some you can advertise on the listings page at MAP with a strike through to indicate it's lower when added to your cart. Some you can't indicate the lower price at all, it just magically appears in the cart. Some you can't even show the price until "final checkout". Amazon got around this by requiring a log-in to see the final price, instead of actually going through the whole checkout process.
As someone who works for a retailer, it's very confusing and frustrating to always abide by all of these rules. I'm sure it's much more lax with Chinese companies though.
Another way around this “Price Fixing” (Because that is what it is) is to offer an instant coupon for $X amount off of Another/Different item when bought with the first Map item.
Or a coupon good for next purchase, or so much off on the batteries, or free batteries, the options are endless.
This way they get to have their precious Map price be honored.
Bose is one of the worst for this price fixing practice.
Thanks for all you do FastTech!
Later,
