You need to treat fasttech like those fancy rocket launchers, fire and forget...

Will keep that in mind.
Eh, guess I'll just have to pretend that I'm vaping that Koopor Mini, without a tank or batteries, haha!

Are you looking in your Account/Order information/order # to see the pending fill/ship date? That is the only place that matters.

My Quad coils show restock in 7 days on the item page. On my order they say Ready to Ship. Shipping Mon/Tue.

Um, I do believe so...

Instead of restocking it had expected to ship on 28/08/2015 (or something along those lines), then they changed it to Restocking and it's been like this ever since.

Yep, your screwed.:lol:
No, seriously, Give it a few days due to the holiday messing things up and see what goes on.
Restocking can mean it has arrived but still has to be processed into inventory for picking.
I'm 9yrs. in warehousing for a major retail company. Inventory gets complicated.:facepalm:

Thanks for the info!
Uh, well, that's the dillemma... keep waiting, or just pull the plug on this order and get something it (at least in product description) is in stock and ready to be shipped on next day. If it's actually in stock, it should ship out on Mon/Tue. No?

What could also be the case is that their inventory message was based on when they expected to receive product from the manufacturer, and they subsequently had a delay. Also bear in mind that for some items Fasttech does not get it directly from the manufacturer, but rather from wholesalers. This is why Fasttech can offer prices on authentics that are lower than MSRP (which ticks off the manufacturer and why some manufacturers put Fasttech on their "naughty" list).

Didn't know about the "naughty list" mechanics, thanks!
Well, too late today, to think about any of this. :yawn:
Might have to give a look at what else they have to offer, that could actually ship in a timely manner.
Thanks!

Remember - single Flavor mixes are tricky.
Mixes work best, but always reduce for an equal total.
No to flavors will work at the same percentages so light experimentation in SMALL batches is recommended.
Like:
8%-10% Cupcake
4%-6% Blueberry, strawberry, etc.

Next order get some marshmallow - works to fill and round out flavors. reduces any dry taste. use in low % 1-3.

Ordered a Scale to start mixing by Weight for better consistency.

Great advice!

I have a scale already (lotion making) and I planned on doing only small (5ml) batches to start.

Can't wait to dig in!!

@Lomka Is steeping necessary for sampling?

Depends on the ingredients. Most Fruits are Shake and Vape - better next day.
Complex mixes can steep a week to a month depending on what is included.
Tobacco flavors take longest
Creamy should have at least 1-2 weeks

Smaller samples mature a bit quicker.
I use an Ultrasonic cleaner to age mine some to reduce steep time. 3-4hrs. and a week for my RWHY4 mixes.

IF you slowly bring the liquid up to about 180 to 200 degrees f. and then allow it to come back to room temp normally it's like 10 days to 2 weeks steeping. I use a dip warmer (like a mini crockpot filled with dry rice.


PG and VG have relatively high boiling points you won't do them any harm. You will evaporate the alcohol in the flavoring and speed the break down of the nicotine.

I just don't have the patience to wait on Fasttech's usual run around. And when they get into their re-order crap I would flip out.

Ordering from Fasttech is a Fine art. takes a lot to get used to the system and plan precise strikes for just the right items without a long wait time.

Almost all of my, 50+ orders have arrived in 8-12 days.:D

My son started vaping before we did. And My and my wife's Christmas present for 2013 was an ego and a few other vaping items. He's still waiting on it. Needless to say He went the credit card company refund. Yeah we don't order from them.

OK after digging and watching reviews decided to buy these:
tuh9A5v.png
The VTC4 is a good battery but only is a 2100mAh.
The VTC5 is a 2600mAh battery but normally way over priced :(

Easiest way to explain the mAh of a battery is to think of it like a gas tank on a car. :?:
So the VTC4 holds 2100 gallons of gas and the VTC5 holds 2600 gallons.

Samsung and LG both make 2500mAh batteries,

DSC_0093__54007.1403222165.256.152.JPG


but the other day, someone mention the LG 18650HG2 3000mAh 20a
I haven't tried them yet, But with 3000mAh I might have to.
DSC_0316__49612.1435017374.256.152.JPG


The thing these batteries all have in common is they don't have the name SONY on them,
so most people don't jack the prices up on them.
I avoid any battery with the word fire in the name, and I won't buy Efest because they exaggerate the battery stats. But besides that I look at the Amps and the mAh.
There's a bunch of good batteries out there, and I rather pay for the extra hundred mAh then a Name.
