I just recived mine from 3fvape, and just like I though. The JC is very loose. The JC is unusable. The build is excelent. Let me try build this without the juice channel when I am at home. I will write some of my exp.

I've had the SJMY from 3F for about a week now, Like, Flavor, airflow, easy to build. Dislike, plastic tank, no issues yet, I make sure to not over-tighten it but it is just a matter of time for it to fail, even being careful, constant heating and cooling will cause it to become brittle and eventually fail, add that to the fairly expensive $5 a pop cost, and I come up with another tank for the shelve.
I wouldn't worry much about the JFC, though my SJMY JFC is a great fit, and works as intended I left it in the box as it is sort of useless. I see no potential benefit from using it.

I think the JFC is pointless anyways. You can only adjust it with the tank opened up and it works perfectly fine with the JFC opened fully so you can just as well leave that stepped JFC ring off completely.
3fvape customer's service isn't all that great after all by the way. They promised me a replacement tank & then I never heard from them again. I've send them a follow up email but they simply didn't reply to that one.
I guess this is where we stand with those Chinese shops, I had to fully escalate a paypal dispute with 3Avape to get some warranty service on a faulty Bachelor Nano recently as well. Same thing there, I was promised service and then they just completely ignore all my future messages.
edit: I shouldn't generalize, I did get great service from Gearbest on a similar issue.

The only place in China I trust for CS is Fasttech, I literally have hundreds of orders I've placed, maybe 20 issues, they've taken care of every one. Having a return address in Florida helps. They do have 2 or 3 CS reps that are horrible to communicate with, and you have to know how to deal with them.
3F maybe 25 orders so far, Customer service has been hit & miss, they ship fastest but the price is get something bad and you have to really keep after them about it. I've found initial response is good & fast, but then they tend to ignore your subsequent messages. 5 problems with them, all somewhat solved, but each time it took multiple messages to get any response, and typically was a week or two between them. Every time they apologized for missing my messages.
I did write 3F off but then decided to give them another go. I currently have an ongoing issue with them, this one will be the decision maker whether I make any future purchases with them. So far after sending them pictures of the problem they asked if they could provide the replacement in a future order. I placed an order this morning and sent them a message. It was ship in 24 so we'll see if they catch it in time, or delay the order.
Focalecig is good but slow, Doris is great to deal with on issues, and does well.
Gearbest, well they are the only one I really avoid at all cost, customer service responses have taken a month or more, shipping time is easily the worse. They pretty much refuse to get anything for replacement parts. In every case they've told me they cannot supply missing/broken parts, and always offer a partial refund. They've always taken care of the issues, but not in what I consider a satisfactory manner. roughly 30 orders from them and problems with all but 4 orders.
They do have some things you simply cannot find elsewhere, and that is the only time I've ordered from them after the initial order fiascos I've had with them.

I haven't had any problems with Fasttech neither, but they're always so slow to ship that I rather order elsewhere if I can. Waiting a month for my stuff kinda takes the fun out of the whole shopping experience for me. Returning stuff to Florida doesn't help neither if you're from Europe
I'm surprised to hear about your Gearbest experiences though. They were quick to respond, even in the weekend, and offered me the choice of a free replacement item or a partial refund (only 1$ less then what I paid for it) once it was clear to them that my problems weren't caused by user-error.
We best leave it at that though, I was already warned once today that there is a proper forum section for reviews and I'm afraid this discussion could also be interpreted as a shop review.
Apparently there was a miscommunication, it's all cleared up now and a replacement cap is under way after all. Thank you 3Fvape!
