Just received Dekang Mango and hazelnut. And boy do they stink! Neither smells vaguely like the flavors they are supposed to be. Threw them in the desk drawer and plan to forget about them for at least 3 weeks. Whew!

I buy Hangsen Mango from heaven-gifts, another china based vendor, Hangsen Mango is awesome. It's a pitty the dekang isn't up to snuff

Well they might have had a typoon but still sent me emails saying its out to post and usps says no... a email saying its in post is not a big deal unless it didnt happen...just email and say we had a typoon it will be delayed I can understand but again they said it's out to post not we had a typoon which tells me if you can send an out for post you can send a typoon email... maybe I expect to much!

I suppose that you would like the stuff that you are buying to be that little bit cheaper than you could buy it at home?

There was a typhoon in Hong Kong.

When they sort that out I'm sure that they will be happy to help you.

They weren't lying to you, they were telling you things you didn't want to hear. That happens in life.

Did you open a support ticket for your non-delivered package?

If I'm thinking of the right person the package was delivered. It was either delivered to the wrong address or stolen from the mailbox. Once it shows up as delivered very few businesses would re-ship an item.

Strapped,
My package showed as shipped on Friday. It wasn't scanned into HK post until Tuesday. It sat around until this morning to fly out of HK. Many people have been experiencing delays this week. I don't think the tycoon was a coincidence and once FT ships something to HK post it's out of their control as to when HK post scans it in. HK post was being as bad as USPS SF this week.
If you are the person who had the package scanned in as delivered when it wasn't I would consider seeing if you can do something about that with your local post office, like set up a delivery date when you'll be home.


Yea and one of the people complaining about it being "cheap clone" is the guy who built and sold me a 70 dollar screwdriver mech about 5 years ago that fell apart within a week. it was a bigger piece of junk than the cheapest of these fasttech clones

That's funny. I remember when the Screwdriver was the greatest thing on Earth. If you had said that back then you would've been attacked from every direction.
This is why I don't trust many reviews.
 
I'm an Evod enthusiast so I picked up a multi-pack. Hope they're just as nice as the Chinese knock-offs I got at a local B&M:

Also picked up the IGO-L, my first dripping apparatus to see if I like it or not, cant beat the price and hard many good things as it being a good introduction to dripping:

Spent the $2 to see exactly what this is, I have a few Vivi's to try it out on:

And from a recent shipment I received a solar powered charger. It really isn't bad and was putting together a brief review for someone on here. In summary I'm happy with it. Not bad for the price.
Pros: small, compact, easy to travel with, multiple attachments to enable the ability to charge different kinds of devices ie; micro USB, the Apple fitting for iPhones etc, and a few others.
Cons: Needs DIRECT sunlight to charge. I know of a few others that will even charge in artificial lighting but not this one. The shade wont even trigger it to charge unfortunately.
Here she is if anyone's interested:

Ah yes, the Screwdriver and Trog. Some lively conversations back then!

You are checking the wrong post. Fast Tech is in China, United States Postal Office doesn't operate there. You need to check Hong Kong Post, the same tracking number works. That being said, Hong Kong Post probably has a crap ton of mail they hadn't scanned on time due to the Typhoon.

O, I forgot to mention, I contacted FT about that Ithaka that the threads snapped off on, they are going to replace it.

The funny story about this is tho, took them 24 hours to respond, and there response was basically:

"We are so sorry, would you like a replacement?"

so of course I said "Yes"

Now I am waiting for the info on how to GET the replacement, lol.

It is my understanding they respond to tickets once a day at a predetermined time.

On a side not it looks like the SWFL peeps are taking over the thread.
lmao

I'm almost sure you will like the IGO-L. I can't decide whether I want to pay more to try a genuine one or not. I can't imagine it working any better, only possibly lasting longer because the FT posts are plated brass as far as I can tell (possibly something else but definitely softer than what the genuine has, which means modding the genuine to have holes for ribbon would be difficult as 1mm carbide drill bits break easy, cobalt would dull easy and not sharpen easy).

Although I've figured out my V9 dual coil my FT IGO-L as a single ribbon coil is still my favorite dripper. I had to fight the urge to throw a couple in my last order, how many drippers does a person really need?


I get stuff from US vendors that NEVER update on USPS tracking from "Accepted" until "Delivered" .


Edit: 9 more posts for 5k in the thread :)


I've only had that when the time between points was short. Usually I get my first update when the label is made and the first USPS tracking update later that night. From there I can go directly to delivered but my local is usually good about scanning in the morning so I know if something goes out for delivery.
