I figure Chinese new year accounts for a lot of stuff getting behind. No orders filled or production during that time is bound to cause everything to backlog but I could be wrong.

I think you're right.

We were warned, though. Lots of us said that CNY has a disruptive ripple effect for weeks afterwards and that's what exactly what we're in now

I don't mind - my Taifun GS is on its way and now just has to make it through our Customs before it can be my VTR's new best friend. :) My only complaint about the kayfun on the VTR extension is that it's giving me tennis elbow...

New products have been very disappointing to me this week. Maybe tonight will be better.
Right now, I only have 4 orders either on their way or waiting to be shipped. It would be 5, but I combined 2.
Nothing super duper exciting... drip tips, batteries, dropper bottles, mini cleaning brush, a couple glass protank-like clearomizers to try out.
$2.87 Mini 25-Lumen Waterproof USB Rechargeable LED Flashlight w/Keychain - assorted color / beam range 50m at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The last order I received mostly had stuff for a mod I'm building, but now I'm waiting for a new soldering iron (ordered stateside) so it's all sitting lonely in a box waiting for me to take it out and play with it.

$1.42 Acrylic Shorty 510 Drip Tip at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
....and for right now, out of everything on FT, that's my wishlist.

OH! Also, I ordered these. $1.82 EGO-W Electronic Cigarette Atomizer at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
$1.63 ea for the ceramic cup to use with my diver.

I put in a couple of orders today:

http://www.fasttech.com/products/1629900

I'm taking a chance on the B version that hasn't been reviewed yet and 40 cents cheaper.

Then I ordered:

http://www.fasttech.com/products/1622600

http://www.fasttech.com/products/1585401

http://www.fasttech.com/products/1536902

Both set for HKP.

EDIT: Ordered below with e-packet China Post shipping for kicks.

Neat little flashlight...definitely brighter than those 3W police flashlights...might get a few for the kiddo's (for them to loose)

Oh...they listened to my complaint on the Caravella mod
First off when it arrived the top cap 510 threads had a burr and none of my 510 connector atomizers would work, I decided to get a 7 x .5mm tap to fix it (I wasn't going to wait over a month again for the RMA)

Got the tap in, fixed the threads (cut my hand slightly in the process), they were far worse off than I thought the hole was tapered or something because the tap barely made it thru

Dropped my kick in the 18650 tube, put an eFest 18500 flattop in it, found the tank wouldn't screw all the way down nor would the end cap, the center contact pin is too long (and the body is too short)

I ground off approx 2-3 mm of the center pin, tapered it and re-assembled, it all fits good now, however I tried out the 18500 tube with the kick and a 18350 button top battery, I couldn't even screw the end cap on (the threads wouldn't engage)

The solution to all this is to have the manufacturer cut the body tubes 3-5mm longer then thread them...otherwise they are TOO SHORT!

I don't want an RMA on this...I am VERY displeased with this item even though I got it to work (only in 18650 mode with a kick a regular battery will not make contact)

I do like this MOD but the problems are IMMEDIATELY apparent, so if you can tell the manufacturer to cut the tubes just a little bit longer and all these problems will cease to exist and your Caravela mod will be PERFECT (well unless you want to get them to make it 21mm in diameter rather than 22, but that's a different gripe all together)

I just though I would let you know that the manufacturing defect of 3-5mm too short body tubes will quickly upset people
Original length 90mm 22mm diameter, NEW release
$16.75 Caravela Style Mechanical Mod - 21mm / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
94mm and 21mm diameter

(probably were ALOT more complaining about it than me though :p)

I might have to get one of these, my kids keep breaking all the rest of the micro USB charge cables!

Fixed that for ya. :p You do realize that for casual ECF members and regular readers of this thread to see what you you ordered they have to click on each link to have any clue as to what you ordered?

In any case, nice haul. With any luck, only one or two of those items will be unusable... either the Helios or Immortalizer. YMMV, JMO, :2c:

Schnarph is right. Everyone, it is REALLY easy to modify the links you copy paste in so that we can all see the actual product you're about to get your little mitts on.

Copy paste the normal link into your reply, then before you post it, look at the https: and delete the s. Then when the message is posted, the link magically becomes the title of the object...

It's MAGIC :laugh: and ever so nice to read. Thank you!

Thanks! That would be great if my only dud was one of the drippers, I got them because they looked like a nice match to the mods I selected.

I swear I tried to make the links look right, no idea what I did wrong, I don't see any https links in my post...

I am getting a little miffed at Fasttech. I ordered a Nemesis clone and more of the Kayfun styles (Feb. 5th). The Nemesis was in stock at the time, and the Kayfuns were not so I did expect a delay. Also have ordered other mechanicals and Kick's as back ups to my VV/VW devices. I think the hammer of regulation will come down hard on us. There are just too many minors vaping, too much lost tax revenue on cigarettes, and too many jerks vaping sub ohm fogs of foul smelling juices in public places for it not to happen.

Now my Kayfuns are there but the Nemesis is out of stock with no restocking date which now has me worried as to when I will get my order. I am in a hoarding mode right now, so I really don't "need" the stuff but "want" it. Those clone SvoMesto, Kayfun's, and Taifun GT are fabulous RTA's. When you think about it, you can get a really well made RBA tank for the same price of 3 510 atty's just a few years ago, and the 510's were throw away's.

I would have thought that they put the stuff aside once they get an order against it. I have had 4 other orders come in from FT. The worst was the one shipped through Singapore. Everything else came within 10 days.

It probably does me no good to complain. I knew there would be delays in shipping. It kind of goes with the low prices. I would have spent at least double for the same items ordered from a US vendor. Still needed to rant though.

I honestly think that FT is still dealing with suppliers with delays in production quotas because of Chinese New Year. The bottlenecks will be reabsorbed eventually - maybe by the beginning of March. We were warned by many senior members here that it takes weeks to return to normal.

This being said, I understand your frustration, I really do. :)

I was feeling a little anxious as I was about to receive my last fasttech order; I need some vapemail to be worried about so decided to place another one, but this time what I really wanted didn't sum up for the free shipping and wasn't really interested in other things (I know it's less than 1 dollar for the shipping) but that gave me the excuse and ordered a fer non vape related stuff for the first time
have any of you ordered this fish eye lens for phones?

I don't have that particular model, but do have one like it from FT: $5.25 Detachable Clip-on Wide Angle + Macro Lens for Cell Phones / Tablets - white at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Mine works fine when I remember to use it. It's not brilliant award-winning photo quality, but it is fun.

I frequently get non-vaping-related things from FT, and haven't been disappointed. Right now I am waiting for $3.91 Cute Realistic Food Style Pencil Eraser (6-Pack) - assorted at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping for my little niece. She fell in love with them...

I've also received a tiny, tiny fantastic flashlight, clothes hooks that really do stay glued to the door instead of falling off and a bunch of other useful stuff that make little old ladies happy. :laugh:

Finally got my last order from FT. Shipped 1/24 - rec'd 2/19. Didn't expect it to take that long considering it went out before CNY, but it did go out Singapore Post. Will use a different shipping next time. Wonder if the postal services shut down for CNY too? That's all I can figure, it would have gotten here about the same time, had it shipped after the holiday.:mad:

Stingray, Turtleships, and Panzer are disappointing?? I'm stoked about all of them!!

haha, not for me. I'm pretty anti-tube mods, but I can see how they would be exciting for other people.
As for me, I'm just waiting for the day the microstick gets cloned. I will buy all of them, put them in a room and dive into the pile like scrooge mcduck while calling them my precious.
Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing your non-vape related goodies!
Because one can never have too many orders waiting to be packaged, I went on a hunt for stuff last night. I don't know if I'll end up getting them or not, but these things caught my eye.

$2.44 Key Shape Stainless Steel Outdoor Folding Knife - silver / 39mm blade at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Just because...

$4.27 Sanrenmu A148 Folding Pocket Knife - mirror-polished handle at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
This knife just looks sinister to me. I like that. It'll also be good for opening packages.

$2.13 Tiny Butane Jet Torch Lighter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
because I never have a lighter anymore, this will be awesome for kanthal or if I ever start using genesis style.

$5.50 Credit Card Lock Picking Pocket / Wallet Kit - 5-in-1 Set at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
because lock picking seems like a useful skill and a fun new hobby. No, I'm not planning on breaking into people's houses to steal stuff to sell on ebay to support my FT shopping habit.

How can you be "pretty anti-tube mods"?

I can sort of understand not caring them, but taking such an active role like that seems weird

As in, I would never use one in a million years because they look like gigantic dildos to me. Some people really dislike the boxmod form factor. We all have our likes and dislikes.
