    Well, I got this order today(10 days from order to here) :). I also got one with mostly juice(16 days from order to here) :):). I opened he packages, and the batts and the juice was covered with foil :blink:. I guess the plastic boxes for the batts wasn't enough? :confused:. I don't understand...

    I did buy one brand (two pack) that came bubble wrapped and taped. Wondered that it may have been cheaper (and safer) for them to just include the case, But they didn't

    Well, I ordered batts on the 23rd. A total of six 14500. They were shipped out and "processed" through San Fran on the 29th. They were packs of two in a plastic battery case. I was surprised that they shipped so soon. I wonder now if the plastic case made the difference or they "flew under the...

    I got one of those to try it too. Works pretty good. I also want to get the right charger, but if I remember right, I used an ego adapter to charge mine up for the trial run.

    Yep. Me too. At the least, it makes them look even more guilty of violating regulations willingly. Not to mention possibly putting lives in danger. Thats why the regulations are there in the first place, for safety. I, like you, would like to see them ship the "contraband" the right way. Then I...

    14500 cheap mechanical mod?

    Well, I DID punch the button on this one. Curiosity killed this cat. Maybe I'll get it soon, and give a report. It may take a while because of shipping , and China holidays.

    14500 cheap mechanical mod?

    Yep. Thought I would try a reo eventually, but I'm really liking my sprite right now. I checked that site out that zipflint mentioned. Looks like the "true bagua clone" I have without the engraving. Nice!!! I noticed one of the pics looked like it had a Davide mini strapped on it. Thats the way...

    I noticed today that another order of mine has moved to "processed" from "acceptance" in 4 days. The three orders before that took 10 days, 9 days, 7 days in that order, not counting the battery order that only took 2 days ( still don't know about that one). Seems that they are catching up, or...

    Yea maybe that"s it?! Lol. I still can't believe how screwed up things seem to be there right now. I just hope I didn't tick somebody off at FT, and they're sending me a package "I can't refuse"

    Yea, I wasn't sure how that works...probably never figure it out :). Your right about the crapshoot. I feel bad for those that have waited so long. I still have orders waiting too, but not as long as some have. Maybe FT will put a foot up HKP's .... n get it going soon

    I ordered a bagua 14500 clone and an ecig case on the 11th. It shipped on the 23rd. It departed Kearny NJ today. It took a bit to get here. I guess thats typical of shipping anything China, and likely they sent it by boat. It took six days to hit the USA (29th). Seems like a good company. I...

    I noticed when I was rebuilding some of these, that they don't use non- resistance "leg" wire from the kanthral/ni-chrome. It can burn the rubber grommet that holds the wire to place. It tastes REALLY nasty when that happens. The Kangers I've rebuilt had the non-resistant leg. Just a thought...

    Man, sounds like you've had quite the challenge there. I don't mind. I like to help where I can. PM me your address, and I'll get to finding those bolts! :). I guess I've been quite lucky in my 52 years. Wish you well

    14500 cheap mechanical mod?

    It really doesn't take a great deal of skill. The biggest thing was to figure out how long the bolt needed to be, a grinding wheel, and a file to smooth the tip when it was done. I just took a little off and checked it till I got where I wanted it. I'm sure there is somebody that could do this...

    14500 cheap mechanical mod?

    I have a sprite (another on the way), and the bagua that china buye carries. I ended up getting a m4 (metric) bolt from lowes, and replacing the positive pin in the sprite. I had to shorten it to 11 mm to work for my batts, and this shortened the throw on the switch. This also shortened the...

    Well, that IS strange. I have had items ordered from FT slowed down through customs in San Fran. It took several days on a couple of them. It was like those orders would "process" then "depart" as many as three times on one, but it eventually got here. Hopefully your order will start moving...
