Something to keep in mind with ft...they almost always offer replacement components in multiples, if the multiples are oos don't order the single as its likely being ordered on demand. The manufacturer doesn't often update availability.

She has left a message for Joytech on FB, no update there yet.it just sounds fishy though
I don't think it sounds fishy, just Chinese logic. I am wondering why since it was free she doesn't just tell the FDA to return to sender.

I woke up to an email from fasttech today. The items (4 bottles) that I ordered at the END OF OCT displayed "in stock". I guess in stock doesn't always mean in stock?

Dear Allan,

Thank you for your order.

We are sorry to write here that the sku 8952205(Authentic lost vape Squonk Bottle for Therion BF DNA75C Mod 7ml / silicone + metal) is delayed due to production problems. fasttech displays stock status based on manufacturer's production and inventory schedules.


It goes on to say that I can cancel for a refund or wait. It's also held up the rest of my supposed in stock items. So it took 5 weeks to contact me and why display it as in stock? I'm not impressed with Fasttech

Hate to say this but feel you are SOL. Lost Vape does not make squonk bottles – they source them from an OEM and that production run is probably long gone. Give that Subohm site a call to see if they still have any in stock. If not, you may have to resort to an aftermarket bottle. But ya, request a refund from FT

I went back to the FB group, she posted where she had tracked the package online. Here’s the relevant section. I believe @dom qp is correct. Prizes or units for reviews will need better documents now, it appears

I don't have mine yet but the guy says the Luna bottles fit. He also said the stock bottles are harder and kind of gross.

If the Luna fits I think most 6ml bottles that you can get to upgrade your mech squonkers fit. Some of them are insanely nice.

Albert sells some taller 9ml ones too with roughly the same diameter. I have a couple and ill check if they fit when I get it.

They upgraded the bottle on the 75C it is actually really good. I looked at Albert's bottles but wasn't sure if they'd fit.

You really have to be vigilant with your order/packing/shipping progress. FT provides all the information in your order history including a picture of the package when it's ready to ship. Just because it says In Stock on the product page, you still need to check the Order page to see if it is still in stock, I've had stuff go OOS waiting to be picked/packed. So the day they claim it's going to ship, if you don't get a tracking number then you need to recheck your order to see if something has gone OOS, at that moment you need to open a ticket and have that item removed from your order or wait and see if it shows up by the estimated restock date.

Don't forget that each message to CS is a usually a next day thing. So a quick can I exchange this SKU for this other one, or pull this SKU and ship it later can take 2 to 3 days. The biggest complaint from people shopping at FT is how slow they are, this is because they fire stuff in the cart, not bother to check on the progress of the order and then get a big lip on because it takes 8 weeks to get their product. You have to look after your own stuff, FT ships thousands of boxes out daily and can't give white glove treatment to every order. :lol:

An informed consumer is a happy consumer, and there are numerous threads here on how to shop there. You will find that FT is the best out of all the Chi-Nee majors for inventory updates and status, followed by 3FVape, 2FDeal and eFun.top.

What are the dimensions of the bottle? I opted to use BB brands Ultem Cap squonk bottle as an alternative to my stinky Vandy Vape bottles. Actually prefer the VV bottle, but Alberts bottle fits well and works as it should. No complaints of odor as of yet.

The only problem I have with the Oumier is the need to get an put on custom wraps on the batteries. The large gaps would make me batty of I saw a green wrapper through them on a black mod.
That's a good point. I was already planning to remove the fake leather strips like Jai did in his review but that gap would bug the hell outta me. That little gap on the RX GEN3 bugs me.

Also happy hump day.

Just saw a post with what looks like some mech pseudo billet boxes in stab wood.

I think I found my next shiny :eek:
Don't have one of those new Limelight FIFTY/50 AIO's on order yet?
Looks like a sweet little mod, Boro tank compatible and completely washable.

You'll have to hit me with a picture, can't find one. Not a huge fan of their aesthetic so I haven't been keeping up with them. It might be the one I saw posted (it was on the TRVP group).

That aside, rebuilt my BB on my lunch. Haven't let something get this bad in so long. No wonder my maple syrup ejuice tasted like leather.

I don't think there's a problem with buying. The post specifically mentions that the person won a kit.

I can guarantee you this is what happened: iJoy mailed the prize to the person. They didn't include the standard shipment declaration because it's not a purchase.

One of these things:

They probably opened up the box and saw a bunch of electronics from iJoy and assumed it's someone importing this for sale.

Because there is no declaration, they don't know how to assess it for duty and clear it. Even when we get gifts or what not from overseas, the value and contents still need to be declared so they can complete the assessment.

I'm sure small parcels and letters get by. But i'm assuming this prize box is a decent size, of a decent weight, and has iJoy stamped all over it.

Really annoying that the vendor's name is blurred out. I could use some more human heads.
