Happened to me. I've been waiting for Malaysia Post to " investigate " for 4 1/2 months. My ticket has 40 posts of me and FS CS going back and forth with FS CS breaking promises, contradicting themselves and outright lying. Moral of story. Don't get your batteries from FS.

Honk Kong post lost my batteries and it takes 60 days to trace and no replacements til they look for them...I want my batteries :-(

All my DIY mixes are 50:50 PG/VG. You can go any nic level to your liking.

I forgot something small so I put in another order, put that order on hold, and put in a ticket to combine with the first one. Usual business. I didn't put the main order on hold because it was "ships in 5 days", held up by the origen RDA.
Well, they must have found one lying around, because that order got packaged and shipped out before CS got around to reading my ticket. Boooooo! (Yay that I'll be getting my origen about a week earlier than I expected!) I'm not going to spend 75% extra for the shipping upgrade on the small item, but I don't want it to go airmail either because that takes ages and no tracking. I'm also hoping after this current round of goodies, I won't need to order anything ever again (yea right) so I don't really want to save it and bundle it into my next order. Life is tough.

^^ ah by the time you get that order ,,there be lots of other stuff you're gonna want :D

Most likely. ;)
I still like to believe that every order is endgame. Vapewise, I'm so happy with my current setup that I'm not sure it can get any better. It just isn't very pretty.
I went to the two local headshops yesterday with my buddy to pick out a new bowl for him. One of them is new, and a little more corporate. Over a hundred pieces on display, but none of them sang to us. We went to the older shop and were both immediately drawn to a few different local blown ones. I said, walk away, and the first one that pulls on your heart, that's yours.
We spend so much time with these devices in our hands, so if performance is equal or close, looks are super important to me.
And yea, I don't smoke the other stuff but I got into a conversation with the owner about how she should start stocking ecigs. She said she doesn't use them and doesn't know enough about them to sell it. Best Answer Ever.
As a hobbyist, I'm pretty much as close to an expert as it gets locally so I'd help her out, and I would love to buy local even if it was the same stuff for a markup to support a local businesswoman, but there's no market yet for high end gear, whether you're using nicotine or the other stuff we aren't allowed to discuss.
Anyway, that was a rant. My main points is that I have kanthal, cotton, nicotine, VG, an RDA that works amazingly well, and a cheap ... ugly mech mod that works great. I don't need anything new for years. Except new batteries, I'm probably set for about 10 years without buying one thing.
But shiny, pretty....
End rant.

I like FT for all the little odds and sods, sometimes I'll buy an interesting cheap atty just to pull it to pieces, maybe measure it, check it out, put the bits in a bag and it never gets reassembled or used, just bought for interest, amusement and possible spare parts. The other day I bought some NR-R-NR wires just for the NR leads, it was a lot cheaper than just buying nickel wire. I love some of their cheap single coil RDA's, I use them quite a bit. I buy things on a whim, usually one at a time these days, just so a little present turns up out of the blue from the postman every now and then. Nothing to do with serious vaping really. It does amaze me on the markup of things like Protanks, Ego batteries, Vamo's and MVP's in my country, they cost about twice what FT charges.

Big mahalo guys, so for the most part stick to "In Stock" items for fastest shipping and monitor the others till they are in stock...right? I have my eye on the new Kato Mod with no logos but that one is on the 7 day list. The one with logo has a 10 day tag as for now. Anyone got one of these yet?

Kato Styled 18650 Mechanical Mod no Logo

I've had my eye on the Kato mod (w/logo), since the day it was offered but three weeks later it doesn't appear FT has been able to mail a single one out. My guess is they never received any from the manufacturer. The new version offered (w/out logos), currently shows "ships next day" so it should be good to go.
 
I just had to share, Today I recieved my 1st order from Fasttech! Yay me! :banana: It only took 28 days and a stable full of drowned Pony Express ponies to get here. The not so great part was that it was my second order from them and my first order is still not here yet. :oops: I guess that may be par for course with FT but I was truely expecting to open my little treasure pouch and find my Nautilus (knock off) mini and my Kanger T3S. and all I found was my stinking 4 port USB charger wall plug. :cry: Hi, my name is Nana Gail and I'm a Vape Junk Junkie, and my pushers name is Fasttech! :facepalm:

Speaking of batteries, I placed three orders last week. None of them included batteries. Of the three, the first and the third have already arrived (the third order came today). The middle order is still showing as being prepared by origin in Schezwan (however that's spelled). Do you guys think that because the order contained battery 'CASES" (simple plastic 18360 holders, no actual battieres), the order may have gotten held up?

Nope, no I really keep an eye on that. Plus, it was shipped, (edited: one week) ago. Also, here is a pic of the shipping page

I've noticed that as well, the only reason I am wondering about the shipment is that an order shipped two days after this one came today, and the order shipped a day before this one got delivered here two days ago. The whole battery snafu got me hoping that it didn't get to the China shipping area and they said no, it can't be air-shipped because it is batteries (it is not batteries, but they may have just looked at the shipment order that said battery box????) that's all I can think. I hope not. I hope it is just a matter of it got on a slower plane. LOL

I just wanted to explain again, it isn't about Fasttech's shipping. They've been great with all of the orders I've placed and got them out either same day or next day all the time except for one order that I placed knowing it wasn't in stock. I eventually cancelled that order and chose something else, and they shipped that replacement order immediately. This was about potential trouble in shipping due to the name of the item.

I hear ya on that, and TBH I could see that happening. That would be sad.
Hopefully, it just missed getting onto one of the trucks / planes on the journey, and that means it'll take an extra few days or a week. I picture a big, warehouse sized pile of packages, and people scooping them up by the armload to put as many as possible onto the daily truck... I'm sure in reality it's more efficient and streamlined than that, but in my head that explains everything.
So, either your theory is right and you'll get it in about 2 months or not at all, or it'll show up soon. That's me being helpful. ;)
