The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

[PLANofMAN]

Just an update. The 50 watt ZNA stainless/aluminium is confirmed to have a painted brass body, not an aluminum one.

Well, first ever fasttech order placed a few hours ago (two, actually)!

Some RDA's - 'foggy' Tridents, 23mm Magma (why does 23mm have to be the most popular??), and black Plume Veil. I only have 1 RDA currently, and the GF recently claimed it. Not much DIY happening without that bad boy

Also my first mech mod (the brass Paps set), ohm reader, and 5 replacement glass tubes for the Fogger (already broke the original and bought a new Fogger - now I'll have two!)

The wait will most definitely kill me. I even split the "ships in n days" stuff into a separate order.

I also saw a 2x2x2 rubrics cube while browsing... I'm definitely going to have a fasttech day ordering weird cheap things. Oh, fasttech...

October 30, 2014 Origin Post is Preparing Shipment ( this Morning )

I ordered a couple atomizers and some wicks and a USB charger.

First time ordering and had to switch items and combine two orders into one they had that done the next day through the tickets I sent.

I figure it might get here by next weekend on the 8th or the following Monday the 10th we'll see.

Still waiting for it to change from Preparing shipment.....hopefully today!

Probably sitting in Jamaica Ny or in route to you. Mine read the same(one Day off) and arrived Monday.

Can't wait to see how long Singapore Post takes. Had to order a few stick batteries.

Ain't gonna lie, I've grown to love FT, slow shipping times and all.

My current lineup.

Left to right:

Heron clone A, currently in hybrid mode
brass GP Paps 18500 tube that came with this set
Not from FT: Switch from HCigar Caravela clone, only thing worth salvaging from that crap mod
Delrin whistle drip tip

Drip tip
brass TOBH V2
GP Paps, replaced spring in switch to fix hot button/voltage drop on low ohm builds

Next purchase looking at getting the GP Paps 350 version just to have another switch and top cap, 10 bucks why not, then I won't have to be swapping everything out when I want to change tube size. In 350 mode I want to get this Clearmizer and rebuild the heads on them. Also, I don't like how I can't keep the TOBH and Paps the same shade. Thinking I'm going to swap the sleeve out with the one on the DOGE, probably the deck too.

What site is everyone using to track their packages. Quantum shows just a blank page when I try to track my shipment and on usps it's been showing as preparing shipment for a week now.

USPS. once the item is shipped and if you used USPS, they will give you tracking num.

their CS was very prompt, and very agreeable. Will see what the replacement part will be like in few weeks.

Every order i have placed with them has done that.It will show the same thing until it hits the U.S. then the progress will start showing.

OK thanks. In the past we used the Quantum site for more detailed tracking while it was still in China and usps tracking once it arrived in the US. I guess that's no longer working.

Some guy made an awesome FT search website. It works way better than FT's search function.
Check out the thread discussion:

Ugh. Fasttech is eating my bank account. My wife actually asked what Fasttech was this week. That means I'm in big trouble.

The list is pretty small right now.

Kayfun Mtanks and glass nano kits

Anima clone

Orchid V2

DRIP TIPS!

A Trident? I don't remember, lol

Another mini Nemesis

Another Atomic

I think that's probably all I'm waiting on right now. I did get a package with some prebuilt micro coils earlier this week and I'm pretty impressed with them, saves me a little time, especially for stuff like Kayfuns where I know I just want to toss in a 1.3 ohm coil.

 

[Rwb1500]

What have you guys found with the Erlk clones? Any one better than the other?

The reports on the $20 silver box version have been largely positive. Other versions purchased from eBay and other places seem to be hit or miss, both in quality and in whether parts designed to fit the original will fit.

I'm still waiting on the $15 steel drip tip version.

Edit: My silver box Erl was perfect. Zero issues and almost two weeks of constant use.

That means it's moving from China to the US. Your next notification will be "customs acceptance."

I generally look it up on USPS and set up the text alert function (right side of the page). It's less stressful that way.

Frustrated with fast tech!!!!!

 

[xtwosm0kesx]

From order to door in 10 days, used HKP.

 

[readeuler]

Alright, Fasttech Wizards. I'd love some advice, if anyone has any.

I placed an order about a week ago for things that have had a shipping ETA of today. Of the 3 items, 2 are ready to go, but one has the ETA pushed back to the 10th. (Stupid plume veil).

Should I attempt to split the order, and see if two of the things will ship? This is my first order, so I've never done anything like putting the shipment on hold, etc.

Or, since they won't be back until Monday, should I just ride it out and hope that RDA stops holding up my order, come the new ETA? I think this is probably what a sane individual would do, I just need some motivation to hurry up and wait. If it weren't holding up my first mech, I wouldn't be nearly as impatient

 

[cindycated]

My limited experience when something's gone to restocking after the scheduled delivery date has been that it's been ready to ship within the number of days it says it "ships in" (e.g., "ships in 5 days"). You could ride it out if you want to, or you can cancel that one item, place a separate order, and pay the extra ±$2 for upgraded shipping (under $20), but that will restart the countdown and push you to the back of the line for that item. But then you'd have your other two items a few days earlier.

 

[PLANofMAN]

Open a ticket and ask them to split your order.
