The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

[ClasslessKing]

They're just coming off of a holiday, so the mail may be playing catch-up, either way when ordering from FT it's best to just forget about it (impossible i know) and be happy when it shows up. Otherwise you'll just drive yourself nuts in the mean time.

I have no intent to drive myself nuts about it, honestly. I was just hoping it wasn't a tracking number issue. I read about the shipping method I chose only updating sporadically through another supplier so I'm not so much worried about it now. I've got a Smoktech ACE and a Protank 3 that works just fine right now. I can wait (hence why I ordered from FT in the first place).

Curse the gods I'm impatient. Anyone else's tracking numbers not updating? I've had mine for 3 days and it isn't updating through the China post tracking or the USPS tracking. Waiting on a nemmy clone, patriot clone and a kayfun.

Same here.
From experience think about it as little as possible. I don't know China Post but I had one that sat in HKP (before the battery crack down) for 3 days waiting for a seat on the plane.

Well, after 4 weeks, got my Evod Twist and Rainbow Spinner...damn FT packaged like garbage, with no bubble wrap other than the interior part of the envelope. Both arrived dinged and dented. They work fine, so I am not going through the hassle of returning them, but I only wanted them for their good looks.

Wah.

Placing one last order with FT is the best way to overcome vapemail syndrome.

Once you have made the decision to rein in the spending, that belief that you have nothing to live for if you aren't expecting vapemail seems silly. And it is.

Got my Chi You mech mod from fasttech today, very happy with it, good threading and hits better than my king mech mod, took 10 days from the day I ordered to my door.

8 days without an update on one order and 6 days on another. Both stuck on "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment".

At least you got that far, I have 1 order that was shipped 8 days ago, and still shows no info found on tracking site, done quite a few orders with FT, this is the 1st one I've been concerned about, normally at least shows something after 24-48 hours.

The holiday probably backlogged the ISCs, I have 3 orders in limbo as well, one hit SF ISC a couple of days ago other 2 origin post preparing shipment.

 

[Nikkita6]

I'm jealous .. My order hit acceptance on the 30th too, and was hoping I would see some ISC, NY action by today. Well the week is not over yet.

I ordered the Taifun GT nano tanks today, so excited for these!

not even May day will keep me from getting my package in 8 days (as long as usps dont mess up and send it on a cross country journeyXD)

Yup, still getting the "origin post is preparing shipment" status but FT has it labeled as "shipped" What's killing me is the fact that this was one of 2 shipments. My order was split in 2 because 2 items were taking longer to ship. Some how I got the 2 items that were being restocked first.....hmmm.....starting to feel a bit concerned....what do you guys think?

My enigma and drip tip (double o ring) collection haven't been picked up yet either no worries will laugh if today's order tracks before that one

OK enough of the tracking posts. Good lord.



smh

For you cloud chasers, how does 6 x 3mm holes and drawing from tip hole sound? I present the igo m. It has a split positive post and post holes big enough to run dual 24 gauge through them. Pair it with a copper nemesis and I dare you not to win a cloud comp.

I don't even care about the air flow holes not being aligned. Mine was a fluke judging by pictures and reviews other had. It's actually easier to build now I've cut em off.

ordered the stillare and the quasar. need something to go crazy with clouds

Haha I was just about to order those myself. Not even joking. Be careful on the quasar. The gold one doesn't have adjustable air flow. The SS does. Have you seen the brass monkey. Another split center post RBA.

You sure you're not thinking of the Brass Monkey? The Quasar has an AFC. I have one ordered...

Yea that's right. You're correct. The gold brass monkey doesn't have afc.

I just ordered the SS version of the Quasar

I was thinking about the brass monkey, but they completely nerfed the air flow on the gold/brass looking one. I'll hold off on that.

A local shop starting holding cloud competitions. I don't think my Magma clone will cut it so I want something else that's good so I can represent

 

[DancingHeretik]

Taifun GT Style Rebuildable Atomizer went from 'ships in 10 days' to 'ships next day'. I just ordered mine.

 

[cindycated]

I should be more exact in my post. I was speaking of the EVOD "style" batteries. They are notorious for overheating. The genuine EVOD brand, not so much. Sorry for any confusion.

Nope, I got you. I originally had the generic EVOD Twists in my cart, not the newer Kanger ones that they now also carry. Thanks. But I'm thinking maybe it's time to grow up now anyway, especially since I'm in Cali, with all the stupid new laws.

I've never ordered from fast tech before. i know that the general consensus is that the sipping is extremely slow and can sometimes take almost a month. i was wondering if selecting one of the faster options and paying a dollar or two extra actually makes a difference or is it still just as slow? thanks guys!!!
