The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

Used my credit from my rebate points and ordered the more expensive black stingray x, thinking I will be in for a really long wait, it said 7 business days when I ordered on the 3rd, but when checked order next day, said scheduled ship date as the 15th, so already over what was stated, then reading reviews, people complaining of their orders going to restocking, so I will be amazed if it does ship on the 15th, guess it will be a good Christmas present if it turns up by then

the origen v2 is just amazing I haven't tried the magma yet but it seems too bulky for my taste.

the origen holds a lot of juice also

vapero, which Origen do you have/which one should I get? The $8 one or the $11 one? Polished or brushed doesn't matter - I'll be polishing it anyway to match my mod. By looks, the Magma doesn't suit me either.

Is there a good USB Charger for Ego C-Twist available on Fasttech? I tried this https://www.fasttech.com/p/1270407 - it's ok, but has developed loose contact issues after a few months.

Likewise, is there a good passthrough? I tried this - https://www.fasttech.com/p/1382500 - I loved the experience of using a passthrough, but the wire broke in a week.

They're all about the same - you just have to reinforce the connectors. Everything I've ever bought with thin wires like that has been vulnerable right where the wire attaches to the connector. I've learned to just heatshrink the ends over part of the connector and about an inch into the wire from the get go. That keeps them from bending enough to break off the solders. If you do a lot of tugging, adhesive-lined heatshrink would work better. FT sells heatshrink, but not sure if they have the adhesive-lined one. They come in clear, but again, not sure if it's stocked there.

I so want to place an order with FT but I leave on a small US island territory Guam. I've placed orders from the states and have had no problems receiving them in about 7-10 days USPS. So do you guys think if I place an order I will get vape mail the same as you guy in the states?

You insight is greatly appreciated.

Jamandre if you get usps mail it should be no problem. Try a 20.00 test order first. Sometimes it can take a bit longer depending on what you order.

 

[Jamandre]

Thank klynnn, That's what I thought...good. I've read doctadrea tips, great stuff to remember when I decide to go for it. I haven't read the whole thread but is their any other tips I should be aware of before I go for it?

 

[klynnn]

If you order anything with a battery in it or an eliquid it will come through Singapore post which takes longer. My last order through them took about 10 days which has been a record, usually it's about 3 weeks.. Just about anything else will use epacket which is quicker. I always pick the free shipping option and spend at least 20.00 to get tracking. I have found that doing it that way FT routes it the best way and have never had a problem.

 

[klynnn]

Make sure you read the discussions and reviews on anything you buy. Usually if there are problems with a certain piece of equip it will get posted pretty quick in the FT community forum.

 

[szot]

If ya don't spend the $20 on an order, its only about $1 or less to upgrade shipping to whatever ya want..so sometimes when I only want/need 2-3 small things, I don't spend $20, just to save $1 and upgrade the shipping..

Well just placed another order for a few things, just hope things don't grind to a halt like Sept 2013. The order I placed exactly 1 year ago today, Sept 7th 2013, my very first FT order, took 48 days for delivery because of customs slowdown. Lets just hope that does not happen again this year.

Got a Hana clone SKU 1740402 in the mail the other day.
Came with an Efest 2500mah flat top installed. Battery holder is plastic. The chipset is covered by red translucent shield with 2 "Hotcig" branded security labels. From what I can tell all the pieces are hot glued into place.

Everything about it seems good so far. I didnt open it up past the security labels as it may void warranty. All the features work, right left display and button locks along with stealth mode. It appears to suffer from the incorrect OHM reading that others have mentioned as my Kayfun sometimes reads .1 higher on the Hana than it does on a MVP2. Not really a deal breaker as I don't sub ohm and I won't really quibble over a tenth of a point.

Everything else is solid. Good tactile feel on the buttons and the charging port is well aligned and feels solid plugging in.

Definitely worth the $56 but I wish they would ditch the painted on clone labels and the Evolv DNA on the display at start up. Pretty sure no one is fooled or even impressed by it at this point. I just want a decent MAH box mod with swappable battery.

 

[Jamandre]

Thanks guys, this is a big help and is making me feel a lot better in my adventure with FT. I think I'm ready to give it a go the only problem is I have about $200-$300 of stuff on my wish list. Looks like I'm going to have to thin it down a bit. No juices or anything with batteries so that should be a big help on the shipping side.

I think Guam has the same weird shipping restrictions as Hawaii, so your order will be shipped to California to go through customs, then shipped all the way back over here. As long as you usually get fast USPS airmail, it should be pretty quick though. E-packet takes about a week to get to Maui.

Make several smaller orders so if there is a problem you won't be out a lot of time waiting to get it corrected..

Does anybody have these long aluminum drip tips?
35mm $10.73 Aluminum Round Mouth Drip Tips for 510 / ViVi Nova / DCT (11-Pack) 11-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
45mm $10.25 Aluminum Round Mouth Drip Tips for 510 / ViVi Nova / DCT (10-Pack) 10-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I can't decide between 35mm or 45mm and having trouble visualizing what either one would look like on, say, a KF. Can you slap it on something and snap a pic for me? I want something long - I keep getting lipstick on my top caps.

I got the 45's and wish I got the 35's because the 45's are too long for me. Some of my rigs look like Atlas Rockets.

Not those exact ones. The stainless is 42ish mm and the colored is 30ish.
