You must be talking about this one. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1382802 What is there not to like about it? It works flawless for me holds a great charge, and use it everyday. I enjoy it.

Grrrr, you took my spot on the HK plane. :)

I ordered on Wednesday, everything was "ships next day" which they did, neither package left HK until Sunday. USPS still hasn't updated them to being scanned in at SF.

If I get another goat ride from SF I probably won't see my stuff until next week. Whatever USPS did with yours I hope they do with mine.

My order is on the same goat as yours, placed on Wednesday but didn't leave till Sunday. It cleared SF processing today but hasn't had an update since. I'm just glad it made it over the pond and i assume cleared customs since USPS has it now.

Yes, that's the one. I can't wait to get it...
If I like it, I am planning on getting a bunch of them to hand out.
I ordered some of the el-cheapo 650mah ego's for that purpose, but I keep hearing bad things about them and the center contact post. I don't have them yet so I'm not sure how bad the problem really is.
I've converted several people already... it's all about getting a good device in their hands instead of those gas station pen cigs. I can't be giving them to newbies if they are unreliable.
I'm on a mission... to get as many people off of cigarettes as I can, I've given away more stuff than I can afford... I'm hoping fasttech can cut down on my expenses a bit in that realm.

I'm hoping the lack of an ISC entry means customs is done and not that it has to go back. My last one spent a day in customs before being sorted through SF. I've seen others spend days there.

But now we have another who was shipped out last week and already delivered. Hopefully USPS is using planes to get them to the midwest now.

How does the charger that comes with it work? The US site where I saw the X6 sells an eGo charger for it that's specially not as deep as the regular chargers (supposedly). They say that the X6 threads are too shallow to use a regular eGo charger. Is that true?

Someone said to boil the tank? I wouldn't think boiling plastic would be good. If it is a CE6 or CE4+ I'd say take the head off and just boil the head to get the wick clean of manufacturing residue and rinse everything else in hot tap water.

It is possible someone has experience boiling the tanks but I wouldn't risk it unless I wasn't worried about possibly losing it.

Mine had such a nasty taste that I was ready to try any thing or throw them out. (I had tried soaking etc.)

I took them apart and boiled every thing but the mouth pieces (well actually I also boiled a couple of the mouth pieces but that didn't work out so well :( ) I took them apart and put them in boiling water for two minutes, rinsed and refreshed the water and did it again. Came out fine.

So, has anyone told the USPS that Knoxville TN is nowhere near or even on the way to Bradenton FL?

Kristin,

I'm also in B'ton and have made and received four FT orders with no issues. The longest shipping time was twelve days; shortest was seven days!

Good luck to ya!

I guess if I ever run into a situation where everclear doesn't do the trick, I'll try that. If nothing else worked I can understand trying that but only as a last resort since it is plastic and heat, even if it doesn't melt, can change the composition.

A regular ego charger works, but it doesn't feel as sturdy, so don't put it in a place where it can be bumped. I use the X6 charger that came with my kit just because I don't like to risk battery charging issues (since that's when most issues happen), but that's just my paranoia, and a regular ego battery charger works.

Yeah, I usually have no issues. I'm actually laughing at the USPS. I know it's not fasttech's fault. I'm just confounded. I'm like since when is TN anywhere along the line from CA. Lol and not only that but the put it as processed, departed, and then processed again. Got tons of vapemail today, so it's nothing I can't live without, just found it silly.

No, I didn't realize we had to. I guess I should've known better.

Seems like lately USPS has been doing better at getting the international stuff across the country quicker but they're also sending things way out of the way.

Made my first order with FT for a VAMO V3 kit on 7/19...says it's not expected to ship until 7/26...this sort of stinks:closedeyes: Even though I expected to receive my order in about two weeks, would have been a nice surprise to be one of the lucky ones! I'll stay optimistic though! What I am most hopeful for is the condition of the package and the quality of my VAMO!

I waited for it to say ships next day before ordering. Having to wait a week before it shipped would've drove me nuts.
