Joshuab3687 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 There are several iterations of the m-16 clone. Some of them are made by diff mfgr's. Quality may or maynot be quite right. Its a crapshoot! I have a Nimbus clone that came from them and the rda is fine. I had to drill an extra hole in the cap and enlarge the post holes to accept twisted coil leads. I only wish they sold phillips head screws for the it instead of the hex key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rcam1977 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks for the info guys, I watched a few videos on rebuilding the Nimbus, they don't look very hard, but I'm sure, GrimGreen and Twisted420 make it look easier than it is, any suggestions on rebuilding supplies and where to get them?

BestVapes Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Kanthal (any gauge the vape shops have will work. 26-28 gauge works real nice) either organic cotton ball or silica wick. (Make sure the flood area is filled with cotton/silica the more the better) and a rebuildable to rebuild with is all you'll need. And a little know how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwick Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I JUST received my Private v2 clone from Fasttech. Haven't had any issues with it at all! I also got an Omega RDA clone, Trident clone, and Helios clone. Trying out the RDA thing. Didn't wanna drop the big bucks on a nice one only to dislike it. Took me a little under a month to get my stuff from them, but the price makes that alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need now, expect to pay a little extra. It's all good either way. Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need now, expect to pay a little extra. It's all good either way. The funny thing is I have 3 orders from them I'm waiting on and ordered like a week apart from each other and I think the third order is going to deliver before the first order and the second order is going yo be last to show up, the first order about 4weeks ago was some coils for my KTP's and I'm almost out so I hope they get here soon, I hate buying them at the B&M, they rape you on coils, I don't get why they still charge so much for the small stuff, my local B&M that I frequent most gets a lot of there stuff from Fast Tech as well, I've been there and watched the owner unbox a box load of stuff that he just got from them, I understand they have overhead but they could easily afford to lower their prices on a lot of the smaller items like coils heads and some of other things and still be making a killing......

Joshuab3687 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 @Rcam, the problem is, they're not making a killing when you factor in business licensing, federal and state taxes, building rent, employee paychecks, electricity, water. Etc... I know 2 owners of B&M's personally. Trust me when I tell you, they aren't getting rich off of their passion for vaping. 1 of my friends is making a little less after all overhead and exspenses than when he was working his old job. joejoevapekins, Bushwick and Compenstine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Unless you have actually had a B&M store, any store not just vaping, you don't understand all the expense involved. This is one reason why I went with a Web Site and not a store front expense are less, but they are not eliminated. Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoevapekins Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You would be suprised but the small stuff is what they make alot of money on. Its not everyday someonr is dropping 100s, but a steady flow of ppl buying small stuff adds up fast. Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love2VapeDaily Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I got some friends that own a b&m vape shop. He still works full time else where while his wife works the store full time. Great people great service but not all people come in looking for trident, nimbus etc rda's. Most just get a $6 bottle of juice and coils. I'm guessing most people drop $20 per visit when i avg $80 per visit. My last visit was 9 bottles of 32ml each juice. A svd a octupus, 3 vission spinners numerous coils for my wifes tanks and more evods for her. That was a $500 visit about a month ago. Also bought 2 samsung 2600mah 18650's and a trustfire charger.
