Oooh, could it be?

Re-cap:
Ordered a Manta V2 on 12-14-14, "Ships in 5 days".
After 5 days my order showed that it would now ship in another 3 days.
After 3 more days it showed it would ship in another 5 days.
After 5 days are upmy order doesn't show anything for a shipping ETA for 2 days or so and then.......

ETA 1/10/2015 (in 10 days)
---------------------------------------------------
Update the Manta order.
Since the 10th, no shipping date. This morning my order status updated to.....

ETA 1/17/2015 (in 5 days
--------------------------------------------------------

As of this morning it shows "Ready to Ship"!

Sometimes it works the other way too. I've had a bunch of stuff saying "Ships in 7 days" ship within 2.

Ordered two drip tips off FT last night, with the expected shipping to be about 5 days from now. It was a nice surprise to get an email today saying they've already shipped.

Now to wait a month to get my drip tips...

fast tech = LONG WAIT = W T F =

• After you wait 7 days to ship, it ships on day 10
• Day 16 tracking = Tracking information is not available at this time
• Day 22 tracking = “Origin Post is Preparing Shipment”
• Day 26 tracking = 上海国际, 美国 - US, 出口总包互封开拆
• Day 31 tracking = Your item arrived at our USPS facility in BETHPAGE, NY
• Day 41 tracking = Your item departs our USPS facility in BETHPAGE, NY
• Day 48 tracking = Out for delivery

Does anybody have an Origen V2 and a caliper?
Can you measure the top lip where the drip tip goes? I'm hoping to order a drip tip to go with it that lines up with that lip. Ordering the gold Origen. thx

Ooop!

Order shows as SHIPPED now!
Pics and everything (-:

I'll be the first kid on my block with a Manta.... in another 2 weeks or so

4 drip tips i ordered back on Nov. 26, 2014, just got here. only shipment that took this long with fasttech. but nice DTs.

 

[KTMRider]

Just got my Cloupor Mini and some KF v4 spares today. I bought a 5pk of drip tips and they're nicer than the one that came on the KF v4 "A" version.

I'm very impressed with the Cloupor Mini and would recommend it to anyone looking for a small 30w device.

Assume you've probably ordered already, but I could probably do this for you, although it wont be until Thursday or Friday when i'm back around my place/shop.

Imo a good drip-tip for the origin (especially the gold one) is the original stingray driptip:

If you look at the third picture there's an internal lip caused by the brass sleeve.

On my origin v2 clone (from 101) the top is the perfect size and fits into that lip helping to stabilize and almost lock on the dt (still easy enough to pull off).

 

[cindycated]

Thanks, xtwosm0kesx. I haven't ordered it yet - that would be very helpful, but please don't go through too much trouble. I actually sized a product pic to scale in Photoshop and got a little over 10mm and a little under 11mm. I just didn't want a gross overhang, like this:

Yikes, what were they thinking?

 

[xtwosm0kesx]

This tip is about >.5mm smaller than the origin is, and they list it as 9.3mm (not that FT is know for accuracy):

Here's the original SR tip mentioned above (dirty and patina'd):

 

[cindycated]

You're awesome! Thanks!

I think I'm gonna go for this one:

(10mm width)
Shooting for an Ancient Egypt thing for my RA V3 mod.

If it's the same diameter as the muffler tips from 101 (decent chance) it should be basically flush:

 

[cindycated]

That's beautiful! Thanks again!

Ugh, I'm so mad at China right now.

Finally, they come out with something really beautiful without cloning it, but 21mm and the switch is at the top, so you'd have to fire it with your teeth!
Aw, come on, China!

I don't know... I actually LIKE the top switch. I always have the drip tip in my mouth anyway, it would be pushing up against my lips, no biggie, AND... no more forgetting to screw down the lock and firing it when I set it down by accident. I put it on my wish list to check it out.

What I am not crazy about is the "ships in 5 days" ... if it ever hits in stock or next day, I'll consider giving it a whirl and take it off my wishlist to add to my cart. LOL

No update on the array of o-rings I'm going to try to fit on the Heron clone that I ordered; FT has not shipped my 1/8 order yet, seems to be caught in limbo. I ordered the coil winders, but that's not what held it up, rather some stupid 3 dollar case that went out of stock.

 

[bussdriver]

Uh-oh. Never ran across this one yet, but others here have probably discussed it. It sucks.

Tried to order my cart...always paid with Paypal in the past. But, now they say Paypal isn't allowed because of "rebuildable tank atomizer". Seems like Paypal is now cracking down on the foreign companies too.

Guess it's time to dump Paypal and go back to the reloadable cards if I want to order vaping goodies.

Was it an Erlkonigin RTA? I noticed the same the other day. I briefly played around with different things in the cart at checkout and only the Erl triggered the 'no PP" thing.

Has this come up before, I haven't been following this thread lately?

 

[bussdriver]

As a matter of fact, it was! Didn't know what to do, so I just deleted all RTA's and bought them at FC.

There's other stuff in the cart so I won't throw them out just yet. FT has lots more 'accessories' that I often get.
