Thought maybe the custom top cap kit might be close enough for you since it combines the cap and top ring into one. Plus there's nothing sticking out the middle of the cap. As I said, maybe I'm still confused...

Ah, ok I get it. I want to use the top cap with my quartz kit, so the top ring isn't needed.. it would be too long with that particular top cap.

Oh boy. Now I gotta Google quartz kit LOL!

OK I didn't even know THAT existed! Guess you could buy the whole FT package and have a bunch of spare parts. If you need any more help spending your money just let me know!

Thanks for the idea (sorta-ish). I just ordered it for the top cap, and I'll sell the rest. :)
 
Did the Kraken have a threaded plug for the second wick? Do you have a link to the one you ordered (there is two of them on FT).

My HCigar Kraken was moddable to get to work right for me. If one of the ones on FT for sure has the threaded plug I'd consider getting another.

The one I ordered had the threaded plug, but they didn't send a key. Thankfully, I had one. This is the link for the one I ordered.

IMO all ft is crap. Crap that I own lots of. And more coming every day. I say that because I think you would be very disappointed to get any of this stuff for your birthday, only to learn that you're going to have to tinker and fiddle with it to make it work right. You probably won't find something that lives up to the excitement of a B Day gift once shinyitis fades away.

If I was you, I'd see if she's willing to spend about double that and find a reputable vendor for an Hcigar or EHPro or some other nicely made clone mech.

Just my 2¢. I'm just trying to look out for you in the end.

I know what you mean but thats part of the fun of fasttech, I like the felling of fixing stuff and knowing you make it right lol. I know the nemesis will need the button adjusted and some, the orochi will need a derlin skimed and pin sanded, maraxus bound to need something too lol. the reason im getting it from fasttech and not wasteing more on a clone is because im ordering a couple rta, rda and few other bobs but I like to fiddle about with things. I dont think hcigar deliver to uk anyway do they?

so you dont like any of them boborone?

Chicago gets a bit more traffic than Los Angeles, so things slow to a crawl most times going through Chicago customs.

Mine both seem to have gone right through customs and now the hold up is Chicago USPS sorting (which one allegedly departed and the other was never scanned into{luckily the $6 one}). The one that left sorting should be here by now.
I used to always order from Chicago and none of my domestic packages have had a problem getting out of Chicago sorting (or getting into).

OK well as long as you know what you're getting into. I like to tinker and don't mind fasttech at all. I have all versions of the Nemesis and can't find a difference except one or two beauty rings. All switches are crunchy. The Maraxus is fine. Pretty set and forget. Nice smooth switch. You do get tired of the looks and it's shape, but the gold plated patriot and muffler tip look awesome on it. My buddy has mine or I'd take a pic and show you.

The other mod, don't have one, so couldn't help you with that one.

    Guys…

    Making my first Fasttech order right now. What shipping option gives you the fastest results?

    Regular Air Mail - FREE (up to 30 business days in transit)
    USPS First-Class FREE (8 to 14 days in transit typical)
    USPS First-Class ePacket via China Post FREE (8 to 12 days in transit typical)
    USPS First-Class via Hong Kong Post FREE (8 to 14 working days in transit typical) - note possible HK aviation security scan delays.

    I think I've been hearing everyone having good luck with the USPS FC ePacket option. Is that my beset bet?

    Which do you use?

    Take the usps free option and let them decide the best way to ship. That's all Ive used for a year and no problems. If you have batteries{18650} it will have to go through Malaysia, if juice or internal batteries like ego it will go through Singapore. Figure 3 weeks and at least 10 days before tracking available.
