For sure. But don't just do it for that. Do it because you don't want to be the kind of person who tries to benefit from an honest mistake. Do it because you want to be the kind of person who stands up and does what's right, because your pride is not worth a few clearos that you didn't really want anyway.

Is it?

And tell them you would have returned it but the postal service will not accept opened mail as refused.

    I'm gutted today, was excited to see my black Tobh Atty V2 was out for delivery today, took a lot longer to ship than they originally posted, so I'm stalking the temporary mail woman we have to come, but am a bit concerned, as yesterday had 2 packages and she said I had none till I said the tracking site says out for delivery, so she looks in her bag and sure enough they are there, but today not so lucky, she says she has no package, again I say site says out for delivery, so she asks for the tracking number, go on the computer and it actually says it was delivered over a hour earlier than she was at our house, so guess she dropped it off at the wrong address, went to the post office, and they said they are trying to track where it is, but I have no faith I will see it now, I really wanted this dripper :mad:

    Just insanely slow shipping. Still waiting on 5 orders going back to may 10th, Chinese ebay sellers are never this slow. I'm thinking I should stop opting for registered mail as this may slow it down? Or they don't really ship it when they say (tracking is rubbish) and just keep in line with stock statuses. I really have to plan purchases from there or I just end up buying twice in an emergency. /Rant

    Ok question for any electric techies out there:

    Can I use this plug with this cord to charge this power bank with out putting power with this cord to charge this Hana clone without any worries?

    I can't think of any, I'm not trying to charge a high drain electrical device, it's just a power bank. And as long as I don't try to use the power bank and charge the power bank at the same time, I don't see any problems. I just don't know the board, I know I could use it to charge my phone when on the go, but I was wondering about that device. Any worries I should have? TIA

    I just received some vape mail from FT and i am impressed. I live in Los Angeles and it took about a little over 2 weeks to get here coming from China to San Francisco to LA. I was honestly thinking it was going to me closer to a month to finally get my vape mail. For the price I couldn't be happier, yes the waiting sucks but you won't regret it once it finally arrives. I love to fish so i have a lot of patience and ice it came in after waiting i couldn't be happier.

    You may need to pay better attention to what you are ordering and when it is actually available to ship.

    When Fasttech Says your Package has shipped - YOUR PACKAGE HAS SHIPPED - it may be that evening for pick-up but it is for all intent and purpose - OUT THE DOOR
    From there Fasttech or any other vender has NO control over your package or its travels.

    Lastly, registered mail is about as slow as it gets in the US. Epacket is about as good as we get in Free shipping.

    I also pay attention to what's available and ready to ship. Otherwise, you end up waiting as their estimated 'in stock' dates seem to slip endlessly.

    If possible, don't choose Singapore Post. They seem to take FOREVER and once it finally is marked as on it;s way to the US, there is no further tracking of the package.

    Really gotta watch what you buy. READ THE REVIEWS and search the forums... Some things are a good value, some things are about as cheaply made as is possible. For example, their GP Paps mod is a POS compared to the Desire-ecig version. Desires version is extremely well made and is my favorite mech mod. Copper posts and button, very nicely done SS tube and rings. Fasttechs version uses brass and is just vastly lower quality. Same goes for a lot of the RDA Clones... I mean really... if you are paying $7 for something, expect $7 worth of quality...

    On the other hand, Fasttechs version of the Taifun GT & GS is very well made and is my favorite tank. Again, read the forums to make sure you order the correct version as they have 2.

    I've come to rely on Fasttech for the small things like tools, empty bottles, RDA stands, etc... great value if you can stand the wait.

    For me, my wait times generally run about 3 weeks which is fine for what I buy.

    Out of 5 orders, I've had 2 items come in defective. A GP Paps that was missing the bottom insulator and difficult to thread top cap and a Kayfun that had a stripped positive post screw... I'm in the process of getting a refund for the GP Paps and a replacement for the Kayfun...

    Whoa there, killer! I won't give you a really hard time, since it is obvious to me that you are talking about the stainless Paps (with brass contacts). However, the brass Paps on FT is made by a different manufacturer and is one of the best clones FT sells. Ditto for the Kayfun Lite plus V2 they sell.

    If you are just recharging the Device the only issue I see, unless I'm missing something, is the Available reserve. A Power Bank of at least 2x the Hana Batteries would be better. 2x600mah is 1200 needed. 2400+ would be a better choice.

    It is a bit of a balancing act for best results.

    Set up my Nemesis for the first time today. Put it all together and used for most of the day until the battery ran out.

    But now, I can't get it apart. I've tried everything, but I can't get the top cap or the bottom part off of the tube. They're both stuck. Even took the top part of the top cap off and gripped it with vice grips and it won't budge. I don't want to do that on the bottom cap cause it will scratch it, but I've used rubber gloves, rubber jar openers, even ran boiling water over each piece first, but I can't get it apart and there's still a battery in it.

    Any suggestions?

    What's a hot FT dripper these days? I orderd an Omega awhile back but ended up trading it because it was too hard to build (for me). I was thinking IGO, but I get paralyzed by the fact that there are about 30 versions. Anyone have a solid one (IGO or otherwise) they can recommend? I'm looking for simple (single or dual coil) with an emphasis on easy building.

    Hopefully you are in 18650 mode. Freeze it and put all your attention to separating at the tube joints. Once separated the switch and top can likely be removed with less effort.

    Next time only snug the After securing the topper/top cap. Do not tighten the switch, just snug.

    The Igo-L and Igo-W are both good, but IMO need the airhole(s) drilled out to achieve a satisfactory vape. Easy to do for some but not everyone has a drill/press to tackle that conveniently.
    The Igo-Ms have huge adjustable airflow, so no problems there, but the stainless M (A) has the recessed type post holes, similar to your Omega, so a bit more fidgety to build for a beginner. The stainless (with drip tip), black or gold Ms have a different deck with a higher post hole position, so would be an easier build.
    You might want to consider the newly released Tobh. My personal favorite. :thumb: It looks great, has adequate airflow, accessible post holes and those stylish functionable cooling fins. Whistles...

    Their Tobh, Quasar and Origen v2 are all fantastic RDAs.
