My '7th Son of Chinese Dragon' mod arrived today and I'm pretty happy with it. It's a 23mm mod so I understand why some give it a pass, but if that doesn't bother you, then everything else is good. Seems to hit as hard as my brass mod, button is smooth, and reverse threaded locking ring is a treat. It was on sale so it and China Post tracking was still less than 15 bucks. Non returnable though so I'm glad I like it. 
Shipped Feb 8th, arrived today Feb 23rd = 15 days

Heya folks. I've been MIA mostly because I'm finally happy with my setup. Using the 18350 GP Paps with a Brass Monkey RDA. It just works. No fiddling with it. I'm using bamboo yarn for wick and only have to replace it once in a blue moon. I can't even remember the last time I recoiled it. Running it at 1ohm, using all VG mix, and it gives me nice satisfying clouds that make me happy.
Anyway, it's been awhile. Maybe 6 months? I was wondering if there's anything new and exciting out there that I've missed. I'm pretty set on 18350 mechs, and probably only RDAs.... I haven't found a tank that works as well.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Inax maybe? If you are interested in new stuff check out the ego one, tanks have improved in the last 6 months.

I was wondering if someone can help me out, i placed my first fasttech order in late january and when i check the tracking number it has not been updated since feb.5 which says it has been processed thru a sorting facility in xhina, does that mean its on its way? I have emailed them but no response.
Mine says the same thing other than updated the 7th.
I am not worried yet for their holiday everybody takes off work.
I also remember reading about a slow down of US dock workers. I think they even did a "blue flu" day from what I remember reading in an article they also said it could add 4 weeks to having ships unloaded because of the backup. Betting that includes mail.
Found news story about this.

I just had an order (eleaf gs-air & attys) arrive this morning. Order was placed on the 11th Feb. Now THAT'S fast!(I'm in the UK). Nice one FT!
UPDATE: I placed my last order on 1/24/15. Got an update that the order processed 1/27/15. It was stuck in Xiamen China until who knows when. I last checked the status on 2/23 and it still showed as being in Xiamen. Just checked this morning and it says arrived at USPS in Chicago, IL. WOOT! I'm not far away in the Midwest, so hopefully will arrive today or tomorrow .
For anyone who had an order stuck in Xiamen for a long time......you might want to check the status of shipment again. Then again, I'm a novice with FT. I've only placed two orders. The first took about 5 wks. This one took about the same. Guess I'll learn to pay for the expedited shipping .

Yup. Mine all went one day ahead of yours. Order 1/24, nos: 1/28, processed in Xiamen 2/6, and arrival in Chicago 2/24.

I could be wrong but the hottest mods right now seem to be the SMPL, the Stingray and the 4Nine with adapters. I don't have any of them so be sure and read the reviews and see what issues they might have.
As far as drippers, I have the 1.1 Veritas clone and like it really well with a single micro at around 1.1 ohm. Because of the center post, some find it hard to build on so be sure and check the reviews as well.
Another dripper to check is the Rogue. Top air, which I would have thought would be terrible, but evidently isn't.
Check it later tonight.I had 2 ship the same day,both processed feb.7th,and 1 was scanned in Chicago at 8:13 this morning,the other is not showing in the states yet,but it may still be stuck in customs.

Mines been stuck since the 6th and Most people have gotten their item already
Mine that has been stuck since the 6th, actually showed up in Chicago yesterday, so things are moving..........slowly.
I have 2, the 9th and 11th, Processed through Xiamen EMS China, Guess I'll get them some day. Never had an order not get here, but this is only the 2nd and 3rd to take this long, out of 30+ orders. (longest was 48 days, most in 2 weeks or so)
Im trying to ship an iStick 50 to SoCal...Does anyone know if shipping option:
"USPS Expedited for Battery Products FREE (12 working days in transit typical)"
is any slower/faster than:
"Registered Airmail via Singapore Post FREE (6 to 20 days in transit typical)"
??

When I have gone through Singapore Post it has taken over a month, don't know if the other option is quicker. Sorry I can't help more.
