The Astro hasn't been reverse threading for quite a while now, if at all, or else I would have ordered one already. So, not sure where they got the impression it was supposed to have reverse threading.

Yeah, the SS one has had reverse threading until recently. If you look under the reviews you'll see it mentioned.

I ordered the Astro when it was advertised as locking/brushed. I sent a ticket before it was ready for shipping and asked to exchange it for a similar priced item and they replied back saying it was currently being packaged, so yeah... I guess it was avail for shipping sooner than expected which is cool. Prob would have got the launcher if I knew that the Astro wasn't locking/brushed.

My order came sooner then expected! Got it in 9 days from when it shipped. Guess I'm lucky that I got it so quick. But the stuff I got was pretty good, 3 rdas a drip tip and and 50 pack of o rings. Loving the rdas except I got a foggy patriot and it only had a small air hole, but I already drilled it out so its all good.

FT dropped a leeetle bombshell with the Lotus RDA today, for those not in the know, that is the triple coiler mental dripper designed to match the Maraxus built by Tactical Workz and is a work of art to match the Maraxus indeed...

Those waiting for the Krakens to fit the FT Kraken brass sleeve will be pleased to know that they are now restocking so hopefully will be strutting me stuff about with me brass nemmy and matching Krakchi.

No movement on black chrome nemmies or copper nemmies, still expected 25th mar :(

Looks like a tough build with that deep well.

My order has still not shipped 4 days after it was placed. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to get them in my hands soon. Will be first mods. A vamo V5 and a VTR.....

Same here, ordered the sigelei V3 new version 5 days ago, still waiting for it to ship...

Also, has anyone here tried out the coil heads on FT? I have an aerotank and i was thinking about getting some 1-1.5ohm heads to try out and my usual 2ohm heads. They dirt cheap so i don't mind giving them a try but would be good to hear from someone who's used them before.

Clicking around FT, I notice they have a program that offers about 1% store credit for every order paid through paypal. When you get 10 rebate points you can trade it in for a $10 gift cart. So, takes $1000 to earn it, but I bet several here have so check out your rebate points if you haven't yet. I have 1.76 points with .56 points pending, so pretty far off.

You also get rebate points when you write reviews of the products you've bought. Each review earns you .20 points, so if you write 5, it's as if you've purchased $100 worth of goods - you get 1 full point. It's much easier and faster to get to 10 rebate points that way, plus it helps the community by giving real users' opinions.

$0.20 a review huh...

Yes, that's in terms of $-rebate points. You need $10 in rebate points for a gift certificate worth $10, which means 50 reviews or $1000 in purchases...or a mix of both.

ETA: You need to use the link beside the product, in Your Account> Orders, to submit a review that counts for points. FT is now only allowing verified owners to submit reviews.

Not sure how you guys feel. But it just got official. Malaysia plane is now human involved disappearance. Not sure if any security, shipping, restrictions or anything will be happening in the coming future, but I just ordered a few batteries to be sure. Coupon code for batteries is BLF and you save 5% off an already steep discount. Just throwing this out there and not wanting to start a scare or rumors. I just like to be prepared.

Don't buy the VTC4 batts, they are out of stock and not sure when they will be in. But these seem to be shipping with very little wait whenever I've ordered them before. Right now the order is saying it will be shipped on the 18th.

$10.19 Sony US18650VTC3 18650 1600mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries (2-Pack) 2-pack - 30A discharge at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I was very skeptable when I first ordered batteries from ft before. I've seen many batteries from China not at all what they say they are when it comes to cell phones. But these seem to be performing very well for me. I have gone down to .42 with no trouble at all with no heating or anything. I've also gotten these

$6.00 TrustFire IMR18350 3.7V 800mAh Unprotected Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries (2-Pack) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Got those and haven't taken them any lower than 1.5 on anything. Mainly just use these for cartos and they work perfect. Seem to hold the same power for a while and then drop to non vapable voltage. Nice in an unregulated mod when you want constant power.

Just throwing that out there for anyone that might be cautious over buying batteries from a China vendor as I was very leery before I made those purchases.

I wouldn't recommend trustfire batteries.
Most people recommend to throw them away or use them for flashlights or something.
Because they're unreliable apparently. Just wanted to throw that in here.
Batteries is the only part where it's not recommended to be cheap, i rather pay retail price a battery to be on the safe side. (That's my opinion)

VTC on the other hand i've heard great things about. :)

Yea, I totally agree. I honestly do. I just use those trustfires for running my gripper, which uses cartos, or putting a mod in 350 mode kicked with a tank. Nothing to worry about that I'm concerned about. But I also vape laptop batts and stack RCR123A batts in an non vented mod. All things I don't recommend to anybody to do, and don't let my gf take my mod when they are hooked up like that. It's just something I do.
