The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

I hate to agree with you, lol, it's like asking the same questions a million times.

Is this authentic?
Are you sure?
Are you 100% sure, or you are 99.5% sure?
Are you sure that you are 100% sure?
Are you sure that you are sure that you are 100% sure?
...

So please tell me man for real. Is it all good as original from FT ?

Please let me know. I will really gladly appreciate it.

Kind Regards.

I'll give you credit for consistency. Of course my broken clock is consistent also.

Still waiting on my array of diff sized o-rings from FT to try to match to the Heron clone A. Will update when it comes in, haven't forgotten about you guys.

I'm glad to know you haven't forgotten us. My Heron clone A just arrived from FT. I haven't washed it out yet or anything. (I'm very slow to actually get around to testing things out, especially right now.)

I will be eagerly awaiting your o-ring/Heron clone A 'review'.

Lol....

Yes, when it says Authentic, 1:1, or OEM on the products' titles or descriptions, they are all good. Authentic are authentic. "1:1" or "OEM" means they are made by the same manufacturer but without the name brand on so that they can sell cheaper without having to deal with the retailers/vendors complainting why those products could be bought cheaper at FT, FE, GB, cigabuy, 3fvape, etc,etc. They usually come later than the authentics. For example, some US mod designers designed a kickass mod and named it "Godless mod", so they asked a manufacturer in China to make 1000 units of them. After the manufacturer delivered those units, they made more of them and sold them using the name " Godless styled mod". When you see "1:1" or "OEM" that means the product is sold by the same manufacturer with exactly the same design and material. If you don't see "1:1", or the product has the -B -C, etc on that could be some other manufacturers copied the design, but used different materials and different size, whatever. Probably someone should have mentioned these already in this thread.

One last tip, buy a product with the black box if you have the choice.

I'll be sure to let ya know. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but the o-rings that the tank snaps onto form a rather loose seal. The fix is to move the o-rings out of the grooves, wrap some dental floss around the groove, and put the o-ring back on top of it. Beefs it up to make a nice seal.

I'm glad to know you haven't forgotten us. My Heron clone A just arrived from FT. I haven't washed it out yet or anything. (I'm very slow to actually get around to testing things out, especially right now.)

Still waiting...still no update on the tracking...becoming unhappy with decision to order from FastTech.

I'm in the same boat, never had a order go through Xiamen before, but mine has had no movement since 6 Feb, no idea if actually has made it out of China, if not then could be another 3-4 weeks before see anything.

 

[crxess]

Remember..............................China is on Holiday................

Remember..............................China is on Holiday................

Hence why I said could be another 3-4 weeks if didn't make it out of China already

Awwww helllll.... Seriously?

 

[KTMRider]

If it shows up in the system in China, you should see it in about 2 weeks so around 3/1.

 

[Dzaw]

Ok, that's not so bad. I was afraid by "sometime in March" I was looking at another four weeks.

It usually takes about a week to "prepare your shipment" then about 8-10 days to get to you.
So around the first, you should have it.

My FT brass GP Paps set just had new life breathed into it.

I have the Paps for RTAs and higher RDA builds, and a SMPL mod for low resistance builds, like 0.25 ohm. Unfortunately most of my atties don't have connector pins long enough to safely vape on the hybrid SMPL....and the GP Paps gets horrible hot button when you build below 0.5 ohm, even with the authentic brass spring in there.

So I've been looking on FT for a good hard hitting mech with a top cap I can put those atties on with .25 to .33 builds. Anyway, wife brings me a bunch of tiny little cologne sample spritzers she got for me. First thing my vape mind does is bust one open to get to that spring inside the spritzer.

Wallah! Perfect diameter for the Paps switch, and the higher gauge steel spring allows me to fire my 0.25 ohm build with no hot button whatsoever. Doesn't hit as hard as the hybrid SMPL, but still, I'll take it!

Now, I can stop looking for another type of mech, and just add another Paps to my cart (for the switch), and wait on the JM22 clone set to restock!

Just thought I'd share my story.

 

[KTMRider]

I'm done with FT.

I ordered 2 items on 2/10, both in stock. 2/13 one item is backordered now so I cancel so the other (more expensive) item can ship before their holiday. I get neither the refund or shipping for the item that was held up. Now I have to wait at least 2 more weeks (5+ weeks total now).

They've been doing this "7 days to ship" crap so much more lately and pushing ship dates for stuff they claim they have in stock. They're getting too slimy to deal with now. F*k 'em.

 

[denali_41]

yea i know the feeling,everything i have been wanting for the last 2 months has been either "ships in 5 days or 7 days so i just give up and search elsewhere to get it

gearbest looks promising
