I can get cases of fasfil. 5x 2.99 a can. Case price is cheaper. I've used around 50 cans of it and it works as well as vector. The store by my house I sell glass to has tons of it he sells for 5$ a can with my tubes. Id ship it. I understand if u only want vector. But I stopped buying vector a while ago after I used this.

Yeah I'm a vector fanboy, willing to pay after a little digging..

I really think someone here should become a Vector KGM retailer.. Then you can get master cases for like 300? Then sell them to everyone on RIU who needs butane.

I would do it, except you have to purchase like $400 worth of lighters per year to keep the retailer contract going? Can anyone sell $400 worth of vector lighters? :)

Cases of Power5x for $40 at the shop I frequent, or the master cases for $240. Vector and Power7x are both around $350 or $400 though for the master cases... I know a website that has the Power5x and Mega5x for $22 and lucienne for $23; problem is after hazmat fees it's still about $40 a case... If I really thought I could make money off flipping some, I would lol

Yeah that is pretty crazy, though $350 a master doesn't sound that bad at this point. It's all about how much it costs to ship that though.

I'll send a cab of fasfil with your dome. At least try it. Mirror test it first. It's g2g. I was sketchy at first untill I seen the errl it made. And the mirror test next to vector I sprayed it had someone else judge what one was vector. Nobody got it right. Vector actually looked identicle. For 30$ a case its the bomb. Nbutane is quite the hassle.
Too little pressure, then too much and blew 125g of nuggets all over. The pan was full of oil then BLAM. Sucks. R&d

Part of the reason I've been using the power5x is because it's cheaper and according to people who didn't know which was which, they all thought power7x and 5x were the same, and thought they were both cleaner than vector; folks claimed the vector actually seemed to have a different and odd smell, not pleasant.

It's hard to say really that one butane from Korea is better than another butane from Korea, there are very few large exporters of butane in Korea (1 or 2), and they all produce roughly the same grade of butane lighter fluid. The largest factory in Korea produces 1 grade of butane gas, this is likely the same factory that produces vector, power, etc. True, this is mostly speculation, but what it all really tells me is: Closed System+N-Butane > Open System+Gas Solution in a canister.

Yeah. I figured that one out pretty quick. I just wanted to do a test run before I invested in a tammy. But didn't get a usable product. It was looking dank till the boom.
I still have a tank of ntane and am gonna get a tammy. Just waiting for my crop to dry for some extra cash.
I've been using fasfil still. At 2$ a can I can't complain. The dispensaries are more than impressed with my product. Not hard to do but I know its good.

I think the fasfil is vectors off brand personally. Just the quality of the oil and mirror test are identicle. But no facts to back it.

Dank, how do you like the bubble bags from Hashbags.com? I think that's what was on the floor with your belly button bubbler, right? They good quality?

Quality is fine. They worked great. Just don't smoke bubble much anymore and not cool enough to make ice wax. U want em? 50$ I make oil now. They got a 150$ tag on em I can take better pics. It's a 5 gal 3 bag kit.

Deal, whats your paypal? PM me if necessary. I need to make bubble, the grief I get from my gf when I make BHO is not worth it.

Cool. Dankrides@gmail.com no rips and barely used. Maybee twice. Don't put them in the order it shows on the box... They show it backwards for some reason. Didn't figure that out till I gave up. A friend came over and looked at the numbers and noticed the box showed them in the wrong order. As well as the instructions. The color of the bags didn't match the numbers in them. So honestly I never used them right.
I can ship them tomarrow. I wanna rinse em out good and let em dry.

Good insider info! I'll have to look for some Power5x.. I'm really looking for online retailers, because OH my god dealing with the headshops is like a joke. Ask them for an "entire" case of butane and they shit their pants, thinking I only want 1 or 2 cans... It's like "no, 3 isn't enough, I'm using 6 tonight!"

No doubt on the fasfil, id check it out if it were right in front of me, but again my problem is getting the tane... My problem is that 95% of the shops I call only carry like Xicar, Zippo, or some middle eastern sounding brand.. (they will list what they carry).

I never hear them say, "I have Power.... " or "Yes, I have more than 3 cans of vector" or even, " I have fasfil"..



...Typing as I stare at my last 2 cans, and about a gram of oil :(

Just got off the phone with the last LHS I can think of, they want $100 for a case of 480mL cans.

I asked him if he could do it for $65, he said no way. Welcome to my town! I wish I could sell him $40 cases he could flip for $60. Just wish I had that master case hookup!

I said I would ship cases.. ill just send a can for you to try. It's all over around here in the dispensaries and head shops. That's the wrong place to buy it though.

If you like it you pay shipping and 29.99 a case I can get it all day. 20.00 a case I get one every week.

Man I wish I could find an analysis of the FasFil.. $30 is good though I might have to hit you up about that if I can't find anything good.

I mean I just found some Power 7x for $55 a case shipped. Very attractive to me. Anybody have experience with Power, or Power 7x in specific ? I'd assume it's good stuff if it's '7x refined'.

Yeah I was reading that thread :lol: ... I saw some dude saying he sprayed like 3 cases no problem and then I realized it was you :lol:..!


I was googling power 5x case and 7x came up for like the same price.

edit: oops found 2 cases of 5x for $82 shipped..

So Power 5x is good to go?
