How is battery shipping from FT now?

Ordered https://www.fasttech.com/p/1628900 on 3/22 among a few other things at the same time, they were split up into two separate packages. batteries arrived 4/26 and required signature (Malaysian Post w/ USPS tracking) so I had to go to my post office to pick them up (I live in a large apartment complex).

Which kayfun would you guys say is of the better quality? I'm mainly looking at the 3.1s. Thanks in advance

Can't say as to the 3.1

I have 2 Kayfun Lite Plus off Ebay - Excellent Tanks and
4 Kayfun Light from Fasttech - No adjustable Air flow, but very nice performance.
I do have 2 Rocket tanks, just like the 3.1, but ugly - Both work well and the AFC really opens them up.

Heh, what's your order status, I noticed that they went from "ships next day" to "ships in 5 business days" pretty darned quick! Thankfully, mine is sitting at "ready to ship" BUT this is fast tech so I just hope I don't have grand kids by the time it shows up in the post

For what it's worth, probably a good idea to get a few of these, I know I did, since the finish on my original center tube was mucked up within a month. I'm going to take these replacements and keep one coated up with Renaissance Wax and the other one with some other form of protectant to see if I can prevent that from happening. The plating is really thin/cheap on the one I currently have.

I don't care what anybody says, these things look BOSS

What topper are you going to put on yours? I'm using Trident clones on mine and it's just fantastic.

I got the Trident V2 today from fasttech, it's not bad, only complaint is on the biggest hole, it is only on one side, so will need to drill out the other side, but otherwise very happy with it.

Thinking I'm going to have to get a black dripper to go on it, but the black kayfun's I ordered - $14.77 Kayfun Lite Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5ml) - clear tank section / stainless steel / PVD coating at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping will work till I get one

Holy cow, that thing is AWESOME! I've got to get one now, actually, I just did It's in the dreaded "ships in 7 business days" status, but, hey, I am not in a hurry.

Woohoo, that's gonna look SICK on that black Maraxus. Thanks for sharing!

I'm a single coil builder so that single side wide air hole doesn't bother me. I can tell you that the Tridents do look great on the Maraxus.

Yea I am still waiting for mine to ship, but I am a big kayfun fan, so prepared to wait, and also have a black nemesis coming - $16.06 Nemesis Style Aluminum Mechanical Mod - 1*18650 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping so the black kayfun will look good on that too

Also ordered the smoke tank section to go with the black kayfun, black it out - http://www.fasttech.com/p/1644306

Question... I haven't ordered from FT before, though I have from a place in Hong Kong, e5cigs. My question is, if an item on FT says "ships next day", approx how long would it take? My order from HK took just about exactly 3 wks, initially via Singapore Post; just wondering if that was fairly standard, especially for these items that apparently are in stock and ready to ship.

Thx

Using e-packet, normally within 2 weeks on average (can take a month), using singapore takes about a month on average, only need to use singapore for batteries and juice, use e-packet otherwise.

Sometimes things get held up by customs, it is pot luck, I've had one order I got in 6 days from ordering, but another take a month, if want it quick, then best not ordering from fasttech, but want to save money and can wait, go for it

Hmm, not a battery, it's a Russian 91%, but I'm hesitating not so much for the time till I get it, but because it only has the stainless tank, no clear one. I could probably wait, I still need to watch the videos and understand how the coil's attached to those screws, but I could probably get that done within a week. I've found one that ships from CA, so it would be here within the week, and it has both the stainless and clear tanks, it's $32.95, but also free shipping. I think I may be leaning more to that one, mainly because of the tanks, but somewhat because of the time element. It seems like the best price I can find on one a) with both tanks, b) brushed stainless, c) US shipper, d) 510 drip tip.

So maybe I'll pass on FT this time.

Looks like HKP dropped the ball again. Took them 2 days to record my package into Acceptance, 4-26.
Still sitting in acceptance. Nothing unusual in the order, Brass Nemesis, Kayfun lite, Nano Kit and a drip tip. So nothing to get it rejected.
Maybe the small package guy went on vacation.

They're having some kind of 3 day holiday over there, Int'l Labor Day... I saw a notice about it on the e5cigs (Hong Kong) site.

Should have shipped before the holiday. Maybe I'll get lucky and it did, but the system has not been updated. Right

Yeah it should have... but just think for a second about memorial day weekend here... on the friday before, is anyone thinking of what they ought to take care of, before the 3 day weekend? My husband, maybe, but he's a rare bird. Most are thinking of how many cases of beer they need for the whole 3 days, and to hell with work, they'll deal with that on tuesday.

But that's another reason why I kept looking on eBay for a good price on a kayfun... I knew that "3 day" holiday would likely snarl things up for a week or more.

I've spent a lot of money with Fasttech and been perfectly happy with them. The problem I just ran into is US Customs. My order was for about $170 and now I just got a pink slip in the mail with a customs charge of over 20%! That's $37.15 to be exact.

First off, Fasttech changed my shipper from ePacket to Hong Kong Post parcel (in an actual cardboard box!) without consulting me. It still only took them 2 days to get it across the Pacific. But then, instead of good old San Francisco or Los Angeles ISC, it went to Chicago. Dirty, grimy, lazy Chicago. And there in Chicago it sat. And sat. And sat. 11 days with no movement. Then, glory of glories, it starts moving last night. Now I'm the proud owner of... an unexpected bill.

I know what you're thinking, it had some highly-taxed stuff, right? 3 atomizers, some aluminum project boxes, a lint remover, soldering and Dremel tool pieces, and some fake iPhone charging cables. No juice, no batteries, no knives. What in the hell warrants that stuff getting a 20% surcharge? Isn't the limit $200? Is that $200 per package or per year? This box is really chapping my ......
