I'm thinking about placing my first order with fasttech. Would it be wise to used debit card??

Fast Tech payments all go through Paypal, and you don't have to have a Paypal account to use your credit card with them, so whether you use your debit card with Paypal, or your CC, is pretty much up to you.

As to the differences between the 2 Taifuns, I have the $25 one and can vouch for it. I imagine - but don't quote me on it - that the other one is a different manufacturer. The one I use has 71 positive reviews, plus mine. :) It's a great little guy, right up there with my Kayfuns.

And again, you are taking things personally. Look through the FT threads(2x now) hundreds of post saying the same (incorrect) thing. Not about you or any one individual.

Actually I could care less - it is just some, not all but some, that continue to complain/order/complain/order/complain/order and Blame FT for shipping. I think it is laughable that people cannot separate a Reseller from a Shipping company. TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES.
I also think it is a Joke for anyone to expect FREE shipping and FAST delivery.
Even most EBAY sellers ship first class or Bulk rate if free shipping is included. Yea, my last 3 EBAY purchases took between 8-11 days.(US Venders, non e-cig purchases)

No I know it's not directed at me, really no hate here. I just think it's silly to be so righteous over what people think of FT's shipping, I mean no-one really cares deep down, I'm sure we all type it because were honest, and humans are immature. It feels good to criticize a company even though they don't deserve it *cough* BP! *cough*. I judge people by their humbleness, and ability to spread happiness, not by their patience.

Really :D I'm chill as a cucumber, I just remember you soured a funny thread I started just a teensy bit, and then I see it again by coincidence here. But to each his own, no judge brother.

Hello Maggiemw,

Very understandable @ Paypal option.

Hmm, Fasttech company is something like Amazon and Ebay, correct? I would love to grab the Taifun GS for my VTR, already owned the GT model. Haven't tried the Kayfun as yet, but if I were to order from Fasttech, might as well add the Kayfun into my cart.

So did you buy your Kayfun from Fasttech as well? There are so many Kayfun option, and of course I want the best of the best for those clone. A little skeptical in choosing the right manufacturer. My hunch do tells me to buy the highest price available to achieved that goal.

I would definitely agree to getting the Kayfuns from FT while you're getting the Taifun GS. I'm a bit of a Kayfun fan-old-lady. :)

In my experience, the best ones are the 3.1: $21.54 SvoeMesto Kayfun v3.1 ES Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) - stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and the Russian 91: $26.70 Russian 91% Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The Russian is a bit shorter and is my personal out-and-about one, because it's all steel and fears nothing. I love the quality of the 3.1, even if I don't use the filling port and haven't had to readjust the airflow since I first got it into my little fists.

I have the KFLite $14.39 Kayfun Lite Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) - clear tank section at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and while it isn't bad by any means, I just don't like how the top and chimney were designed, and have swapped some parts with the PMMA kit available, to make it the way I want it. I use the Russian's chimney and the PMMA top cap, and now it's perfect IMO. The Russian is doing very well with the PMMA chimney.

I also like that my first two connect well with my MVP2s, while the KFLite doesn't and now lives on the SVD.

Hope this helps!

Fair enough :D I never really got Seinfeld either. Some humor is lost on me(my bad):facepalm:
You've got to admit though, some have gotten absolutely .... about blaming FT (or China in general) for their lot in life. :ohmy:

Is the PMMA pretty decent?
I have a few more $14 Kayfun on the way and Several Nano Kits. I am thinking I may need to order a few PMMA kits to change chimney/top for the Nanos to work on these.
I also have 2 KFL+ that will not be a problem, but wanted to build a super cheap nano KFL/Black mini Neme setup:D

I have three orders on the way, all three shipped via "USPS First-Class w/DC via Hong Kong Post."

Order #1:

-MVP Variable Voltage APV Starter Kit
-Authentic Protank-II Clearomizer w/ Pyrex Glass Tank (2.5mL)

Shipped date: March 19, 2014

Tracking still shows "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment."

Order #2:

-Authentic eVod Bottom Coil Clearomizer (1.5mL)
-Authentic eVod Bottom Coil Clearomizer (1.5mL)
-Authentic T3S Bottom Coil Clearomizer (2.4mL)
-Authentic T3S Bottom Coil Clearomizer (2.4mL)

Shipped date: March 26, 2014

No tracking available, since it was just marked as shipped. These are extra clearomizers for my wife and I, so that we'll each have 3.

Order #3:

-Atomizer Resistance Tester (Ohm Meter)
-IGO-L Rebuildable Stainless Steel Dripping Atomizer

Not yet shipped.

You can tell that I placed my orders after I did more research each time and was like, "Oh hey, I need to get this, too..." :)

I know it's likely my orders will take some time to get to me, but about on average, how long is it taking for folks in the US to receive theirs via HK Post?

I've been using the PMMA parts for about a month now, and just got a second set. Excellent quality and machining. Good o-rings - if they stick, use a little e-liquid to help.

The tube was made for the 3.1, which it fits with no problem. It doesn't go on the Russian, if I remember correctly - I'll check it out the next time the Russian is empty and get back to you on that.

The PMMA chimney is fine - no heat problems or any other problems so far. I use it on the Russian, so that the Russian chimney can be on the Lite (confused yet???). Haven't tried the PMMA chimney on the Lite yet, but am intending to try it soon, now that I have 2. The top part is fine everywhere.

I find them useful - the cap has improved the Lite quite noticeably. The 3.1 is much lighter with the PMMA tube. For $5 they're definitely worth having around.

I have some coloured center tubes coming at some point in the next week or so, and a nano kit as well...I really don't need them, but since my moral fiber was lacking...:facepalm:

Thank you much!
Yes, I have the colored collection coming also. Compulsive :laugh:
Think I'll wait and verify fit........or lack there of first. If needed I will grab the PMMA's on the next order.
Really wish someone would offer different rings/center for the Rocket Tanks. These are otherwise just like a Russian/Kayfun(just clown looking) Oh well, they stay home anyway.:?:

Question for you folks with FastTech experience:

I just ordered 3 bottles of Hangsen juice today. Website says it ships in 3 business days.

I was required to pay an extra 60 cents for Singapore Post shipping. I live in Florida.
_____________________________

What's your guess as to how long this juice will take to get to my door in Florida?

Thanks :)

Count on it taking about 3 weeks.

Sounds about right - things seem to be smoothing out a bit, but it still has a long road to travel.
With E-liquids look at this as good thing - it has time to steep while on route and should be about ready once received. To often people buy fresh and go YUK!!! when nothing is wrong///except maturity.:)

Thank for the responses concerning my juice purchase.

Since my juice will be going via the airlines from Hong Kong to Singapore (Singapore Post), and then to the US ... I wonder where it just sets for so long?

Singapore?
_______________________________

Seems like Singapore would be really far and out of the way when the package really only needs to go between Hong Kong and the US ... I can't understand why it would be routed way down to Singapore?

I wonder what Singapore has do with any of this?

Trucked from Hong Kong all the way to Singapore? ... I ain't believing that at all

That's through China, Viet Nam, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and the into Singapore ... That's almost 3,000 road miles through jungle terrain

No way !
