I placed an order on 9/1/14 (china time). Order status is still showing "collecting products now".
I understand that China was on holiday but I was hoping it would go out before then.
I ordered copper vanilla style mod and tugboat silver style.

I also placed a seperate order for the group buy Hanaa and that shows "collecting products now" too.

    I have ordered from focal In the past and it usually ships out pretty quick. Should I be concerned that my order has yet to post?

    I wouldn't get concerned, things do get held up at times, but would contact them to at least find out what is going on, at least to put your mind at rest ;)

    The comment from Nikkita6 reminded me, I saw that the ZNA clone is now listed as in stock at the USA warehouse along with the 18650 tube for it. In case anyone was waiting. I'd consider one but because the chana clone is about $30 cheaper because of the great group buy deal I think I'll be happy enough with that.

    Couldnt wait for your review so I hope it is good lol. Just ordered one :D as they showed it in the USA warehouse today. My first order with FC for the infinite kayfun is already in San Francisco which is so much faster than my first two orders with ft. Excited for the wotofo

    Why does it seem like orders from focalecig get here so much faster than those from FastTech? Is it really just that the focalecig products get packaged up and actually shipped so much faster than FastTech? I do know I've never had that dreaded xx days to ship which suddenly turns into restocking then waiting more etc before it finally ships with focalecig. But do they do something else that gets the package through the Chinese post office and onto a plane quicker or are located closer to a hub or I don't know? But it just seems that not just total (ie, from when I order until my postman drops it into the mailbox) shipping time is better but transit time is too.

    ALL my FT orders get shipped out the same day of order, and FT and FC both use the same shippers who contract with the same airlines...so its a myth that FC orders get delivered faster than FT..

    I was checking the USA warehouse out today, and I noticed that nothing is showing stock numbers anymore. Does that mean everything is in stock in the USA warehouse? Really itching to pull the trigger on the plume.

    The Plume Veil is in stock, since I just ordered it last night ;)

    They revamped their USA site and it no longer shows exact stock -- just a "Sold OUT" banner when the item isn't in stock.

    I just ordered the Plume Veil and Stingray X from the USA warehouse -- my first Focalecig order. Hoping for a good experience.

    :laugh: .. Good thing you didn't wait, I actually just changed the publish date for the Wotofo ZNA 30 review to Monday. I selfishly had requested the 18650 only tube with my Wotofo, and in hindsight that wasn't a good idea especially since the main motive for getting the device was to review it. Since 18500 is the standard tube it comes with, I must review it with both the 18500 and 18650 tubes.

    Really don't know what I was thinking at first :blink: Oh wait, yeah, I was being selfish :laugh: .. Barring any defects you should be happy with it. I did some function/performance comparisons to the Cloupor DNA, and both chips have their pro's and con's, but they both get the job done at the end of the day.

    But hoho .. The Robbot ZNA 30 is coming, and this is the clone of the original Zen ZNA 30 being made with 316L surgical grade stainless steel, while the Wotofo is a clone of the Zen ZNA lite (aluminum main body, SS tube). Hope you enjoy your Wotofo, it will make for a nice pairing with your Infinite KFL plus V2 :)

    Hmm, can't say for sure .. maybe FC is physically located somewhere closer to China post? :laugh: My orders from FT has never taken longer than 10 days to arrive, but 8 days is the norm. I have only done one "xx days" to ship with FT before, usually I stick to "ships next day" stuff only.

    I will say that on two occasions I received my FC order in 7 days, and the Wotofo ZNA took only 6 days to arrive from China .. that has never happened with a FT order. But, I also had one FC order that took 26 days from shipping to arrive, not sure what happened there, but it happened. All of my US warehouse orders show up in 2 days which is awesome! ... speaking of US warehouse orders, KATO SQUARE BOX IN COMINGGGG. It better not show up like Drifters did :glare:

    I am brushing up on my "sweet talk" skills just in case I need Drifter to make mine purdy :laugh: Kiddingggg .. if mine turns up janky its going back :glare:

    Anyone give the Anrachist from the USA warehouse a try yet? I'm interested it looks simple, and effective. Thoughts? Experience with it?

    The only thing I can say is that I think its from A-mod/Wotofo .. I love the switch on the Anarchist mod, but the rest of the body is kinda plain for me, wish it had some more pizazz. The Stingray X has spoiled me :p

    Get it and let us know how it is, I am curious about the switch. :)

    Everything in the US warehouse is instock unless it says "sold out" .. They got rid of the inventory counter because every time someone put an item in cart, but didn't check out, the system would still deduct it. Then they tried to fix that, but then the counter didn't change at all, so they got rid of it altogether.

    Agreed, ever since the whole shipping mishap with FT, I feel like they really went down hill. Yes, they have the selection but I feel like the quality hasn't been there the last I purchased from them.
    I love them for replacement parts and such for my Mods but I found another site with about the same or better prices for everything else and is a North American company here Liquid Vaporizers – Wizard Puff I ignore the whole "Dry Herb" section lol and look just at all the stuff for e-cigs

    Really? :glare: You must think we're a bunch dumb dumbs eh? #EPICFAIL


    ^^^Seriously??? Again?? :facepalm:

    I'm friggin speechless, seriously :facepalm:
