Hi, Larry!
I love FastTech, and have bought a ton of great vaping stuff from them!
However, if you bought this to "test the waters" you should realize that you've made things difficult.
First, since the istick has an internal battery, it ships differently (and slower!) than most things from FastTech,
But even worse, the Chinese New Year just ended, and everybody over there just went back to work after a 10-day vacation. So, every factory and distributor is working overtime to fill back-orders, which creates an incredible hit on the Chinese postal system.
FastTech will probably catch up on orders within a couple of days. But so will many other vendors, and the huge slug of stuff hits their delivery systems like a ton of lead!
In any case, I think you'll like FastTech, if you decide to order more stuff from them. But this particular order, at this particular time, might take much longer to get to you than it normally would!
ETA: and it also seems that the 50W isticks have an 11-day ETA, which won't help either!
You might have done a lot better here:
Eleaf Istick 50 watt (4400 mah) - 101 Vape

Larry let us know when you get it ok?
I've had three orders and averaging six plus weeks on each...
and I'd like an iStick 50 next..and they've got great priced..but for five to ten bucks more it's here in 3 days from another vendor.

I buy stuff from fast tech that I want but I can live life without. This way, its ok when I am finally able to forget about it, and then one day way in the future, surprise vapemail!
Wow, my orders average around 12 days. As low as 6 days from door to door and up to a month when I used the free shipping.
Before the holiday, I was getting about 10-12 days from ship to delivery.
Last year, the CNY was a major cluster....thingy.
And although FastTech has some great prices on great stuff, they're not that good on some of the name-brand items, like innokin or eleaf (This is, I believe, because of minimum-price issues with the manufacturers). As evidenced by the 101vape link, which is basically the same price (plus shipping, from 101).
Bottom line, there are lots of great things to buy from fasttech, but the authentic eleaf istick isn't really one of them, and particularly at this time of year!
Sorry, Larry! Maybe cancel the FT order and get it from 101vape? But DO try FT for some of their other stuff (in a couple of weeks!)
Waaaaaa (like a baby!!)
Iv never gotten any better then three to four weeks, even when getting the tracking.
Every order placed without tracking has taken 30-35 days, :?(
They should do what focal has done and set up a warehouse in the states, they could REALLY make a killing.

I must be lucky on average I get 10- 12 days but the items have to say in stock, not "ships on xxxx" they have been known to hold whole orders for one item restocking later.
Yes, they claim its in the usa,
USA Warehouse
I`m thinking a PV warehouse though do`nt need to be that big, could proably put enough stock in your bathroom and call it a warehouse.
Yea focal has a US shop the selection is smaller but changes a lot though.
Probably keeping it in the store room at someones cousin's chinese restaurant

I've never bought batteries from Fasttech, just tanks. evape.us has the istick 50 for about the same price, and free shipping, and it made it to my door in three days (plus they throw in a free bottle of juice with every order....)
I'm hesitant to order anything right now, with them coming back from their holiday and with the West Coast port issues.....
My only problem with angel is nice selection zero in stock
Yes I would like 1 from column b and does the king mod come with extra rice?

You made a good move.Congrats.Just get the Natilus mini tank and you good to go.
I too recently placed my 1st FT order. My 1st order was 2/12(coils) which has already shipped. I believe that was before their holiday. My 2nd order was just Tuesday, 2/24, (more coils and a bluetooth headset) has not shipped yet. I think that one was in the middle of their holiday. I am in no rush, as long as I get it within the next 3 months. I will try to remember to update everyone when I get them, in case anyone is curious.
That's the way to do it, I think. Like you, I generally buy things I don't need right away, and pieces/parts (cases, drip tips, o-rings).
You're lucky, in a year and a half of ordering from them, I'm right around 21 days as an average.
