Okay, I placed an order a few days ago and it changed status yesterday to "collecting products now". Today it is still at that status. Does it usually stay there for a few days? I'm just curious since I've not ordered from this company before. Trying to get a feel for when it may be shipping. I know I'll still have a bit of a wait since it's coming from China.

Yes, it will stay at the status until the item is ready to ship, which will be indicated on your account with tracking # .. most items ship within 3-4 days, some ship in 24 hours, and some take as long as 7 days, depending on what it is, and whether it is restocking.

I'm kicking myself, because I did not take a photo of it before I repaired it. I should have known better, because this is exactly how fasttech operates, who have been very good about replacement parts, but always ask for a photo.

I'll probably not bother to contact them. As it is, the Pulse G is working fantastic, and for $11, it's much nicer than I had hoped. Hands down, the nicest genesis I own, with a top cap reducer for single coil, as well as dual coil/wick capability. Even the bottom of the tank has a nice angle on it to help keep the wick wet as the liquid level drops. Really well thought out and nicely packaged too. Digging the cool shorty drip tip which does have the pulse logo engraved on it....they don't show that in the photos.

If nothing else, I'll post a review of it to warn others of the potential defect.

EDIT: Just went back to check Focal's listing for the Pulse G, and the photos show the atomizer having the same defect. The defect is hard to understand unless you own one of these. This might be the model that fasttech stopped selling.....

Very interesting what you said about the defect ... they probably don't know that its a "defect", so maybe email them and give them the heads up. If they photographed it that way, I think that means that they don't know that something is off ... FC also carries TWO Pulse G's, the other one is $15 and change ..

I like the Pulse G, almost got it on my very first order with them, but got the Kraken instead ... been meaning to go back for it though because I agree that its a very nice looking Atty, and I think it would look mint on my 350 mods.

It's normal, my order stayed that way for 7 days.

shipping nightmare
I used to work in a print shop. We had a saying. Pick two: fast, good, or cheap. If you want it fast and cheap, it won't be good. If you want it fast and good, it won't be cheap. If you want it good and cheap, it won't be fast. I don't mind waiting for what seem (from this thread) to be good products at a ridiculously good price.

I've order 3 things from FC and I paid for the tracking info. I have no clue what delivery system to use. I used whatever option was free shipping with the $1.50 tracking number. I used the "Track Order" link at the top of FC's website. Then entered my Order number and my PP acct email. That is where I got the page that I posted earlier. What shipping should I be using? Any help would be useful for future orders. Thanks

EUB/EMS or Hong Kong Post ... EUB = ePacket/USPS and its free w/tracking, 7 to 15 day delivery. Hong Kong Post is the one that requires upgrade for tracking and its 8-10 days usually.

I don't ever use Singapore Post .. too slow.

Well going to have some new vape mail next week even though I am not ordering anything right now. Trying to get to break even. :facepalm:

Powerband (an ECF member) had a random drawing/contest, I posted a few times, my first post came up with 3rd prize.

Kanger T3D (clear) and a YK5 RDA

Not sure what they are or what I will do with them as I am using all carto's at the moment, but it is ALWAYS nice to get vape mail. :p

Got in touch with Doris last night and they're going to send me a new bottom section for the nemesis. Yay, just have to wait now. Gives me time to get some more batteries, only have 2 vtc4's :(.

Good news, built one of the KFLs just now and love it. 1.2 ohm coil, and cotton. Vapes beautifully.

That's awesome Keymaster, glad you were able to get a resolution quickly .... and Thanks for the feedback on the Kayfun Lite, I have one on the way, 1.2 ohms is my sweet spot, and so I am looking forward to it. :)

Burnie I am actually proud of you for how well you have been able to refrain ... I can remember a time, not so long ago when your credit card memory was giving us all a bit of run for our money! :laugh:

Finally got around to ordering the caravela and omega RDA to add to my collection, I would've ordered more but just spent $100 on DIY liquid and flavors as well as like $75 on tools to make a few bottom feeder mods. Excited to have another good mech!

Sounds like you're gonna be enjoying a good amount of vape mail :banana: ... I have had my eye on the Omega for a while now, but there is also the Gaia RDA that I am really digging too. I need a bigger RDA.

Good luck with making your own bottom feeder too :)

All of it came in yesterday minus the order from focal. Got around to getting the bottom feeder made, I used a dual 18650 Power Pack as the case and bought the button and connector from madvapes. It turned out OK, I need to vinyl wrap it to cover up the holes from where the USB ports were and then make some finishing touches. I'm keeping my eyes open for a RM2 for it as well. I am waiting until this summer to make a wood mod because my wife's family friend does alot of woodwork so I am going to have him help me make one so I can learn the trade of woodworking.
