I've never bought from Vapordna. Cool to see they have store locations in California.

Good vendor. Unless you live in California...

But glad to 'support' USA and Phil and not have to wait 7 weeks to get it!
It's getting more and more difficult to support USA, CA, and Phil...

My Fasttech order
  • Placed May 9
  • "Shipped" May 19
  • Tracking has not changed since the day it "shipped"
    "Pre-Shipment - Processed Through Facility ZHENGZHOU EMS, CHINA"
I'm hoping that posting here will trigger some good luck and tomorrow I'll see movement on tracking lol

I’ll try that! Fasttech order placed 3/31. Shipped 4/1. Still in Zhengzhou. Fingers crossed!

Despite that fact that I have a good stock of atomizers and mods I still think I've waited too long to order more stuff! You can never have too many mods and tanks...
Yea - my recent FT order that took 7 weeks to get here was for 5 Pico 75w mods.
Put them on the shelf behind the other backups already there. :D
They seem to be getting harder to find, so now I'm set for mods for 10+ years!

Very nice. And where is your Ares, if I may ask? I would love to know what you think about it.

Should arrive Wednesday.
Broke out the original Ares for the first time in awhile.
Man it has some great flavor.
Rich, smooth, thick and saturated.
Just need to poke a sliver of paper tower in the air holes from time-to-time to keep it dry.
Think we are gonna like the Ares 2.

Yeah, it's a leaker. I skipped V1 for that reason.

Can't wait for your review! :wub:

Yeah the v1, but I can see the v2 doing the same thing after a while. But at least it has some protection against it.

Curious. I know that some (most) top-fill tanks can leak when they are being refilled--you have to go very slowly or else--but afterwards? That's a first. Unless the tank has been overfilled.

It's the way the Ares filling works, it's not sealed like most tanks that have a screw top.

As you tilt it to vape it eventually starts seeping out the edges of the sliding fill port. While I appreciate the convenience it's a bad design and why on the v2 they added the little rubber piece in the fill hole when they should have just made it a half turn screw top.

Yeah the insulator or whatever from the "Shove" fill mechanism really sucked. It got loose. It would open in your purse. No, I'm not bitter or anything.

What really annoyed me was when the insulators from the deck would just COME OFF for no dang reason. Happened to both of mine within days. I was disgusted enough to like, not even ask for a refund.

I guess they think their "special" fill thing is special alright and I suppose it is (well not so much the N2S has one too, only theirs worked, etc.) they should have just used what they did on the zenith I don't quite get it.

But no, not bitter at all. LOL. I am being watchful on the Ares 2 IDK what I hear so far is not that encouraging I don't LOVE the tightest of MTL tanks but hey all go for it and report back.
