Interesting new item

ATTY rba Rebuildable Atomizer

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1/10005212/1449602-atty-rba-rebuildable-atomizer-2-5ml

I think it is a new color option rather than a new item. I was considering it myself, but, when I decide to get this type of atty, I'll probably scrape up $10 more and go for the RSST. I would like to hear peoples' experiences with this one, though!

I am chilled, just as 1st order, didn't know what was normal, didn't order anything urgent, so can wait, well sort of

There's free apps for your phone that will notify you if there is any movement for the patience challenged such as myself.

I'm trying one now named Fara that does both web and IOS based and if you make an account they update each other so you don't have to enter twice. You can even forward your initial email to them and its supposed to find the tracking # and setup the alerts.

Without the account you can still manually enter tracking info on your phone and one swipe updates info on whatever you have working. Beats the heck out of re-entering the numbers at USPS every time and supposed to do just about any carrier.

Also tried another called Parcel for IOS and it worked but I didn't try the push notice features and it was limited to 3 packages in the free app.

Chill out folks!

Do you want cheap and free delivery?

The price is patience.

WAIT FOR IT!

Haha.......I'm fine! I just thought that my info would make the ones that ordered 3 - 4 days ago feel better. Now, if they would just figure something out with my Ithaka (ordered 8/18 and still no shippy)! LMBO

Wow. All I do is check my email for updates. I knew Jesus, too, and am older than Methusalah...

Does anyone have the K101? I have the K100 and LOVE IT, but I prefer the button at the top. Does it hit like the K100? It reminds me too much of the little eGo tubes I got so I am hesitant :/

Yeah I cant make it out bro ... I love the look of my tank but I definitely need to do something with my carto and get a boge ... I have yet been able to vape on it without the solid burnt taste nd no vapor

Love the way it looks on my vamo

So any recomendations for telescoping mech mod from FT ? Also I find their site a bit hard to search. Does FT carry a Kick clone ?

Personally I'm not a fan, it's the only "topper" I've bought from FT that just sits up in a cabinet. I TOTALLY agree if I was going to do a Geni, it would be the RSST because of it's improved center pin with a spring, and the INSULATED wick hole, that's a huge plus.

I just could not get decent flavor out of this thing no matter what I tried. (believe me I tried everything you can think of)

Question:
I ordered a boatload of stuff from Fasttech on September 2. I got a notification that it shipped on the 4th. I have been checking the tracking number, and as of today (the 7th), it is still sitting in Hong Kong. Is this normal? Is it just not updating? How long from now should it reach the east coast of the us? Thanks in advance.

You are at the point where it's somewhere between China and US west coast. You can't take the tracking updates literally and they aren't real-time. One thing is for sure is that when it comes to tracking, these guys aren't FedEx. Heck, I'm surprised they don't MAIL your tracking updates to you... it's USPS after all.
Usually, it takes anywhere from 1-4 days before it leaves HG. I assume they wait until they have enough stuff to fill the particular containers?.. and they have to pass export customs.
Then, you won't hear zilch for 3-5 days because it's somewhere over the Pacific (or at the bottom of it).
Then it hits the port in California and has to make it's way through customs. Once you start seeing updates that it is in SF, it could be 3-5 more days or it could be in your mailbox already.
So far, every one of my FT orders have taken the same amount of time... once FT actually ships the thing. It's about 9 days of shipping time and I live in Indiana. If you are on the west coast US, you could knock a couple days off of that.

The Fastech review to beat all reviews..... I got me some zip ties, 1000 to be exact. $6.50 or so. I needed some zips for doing up cords around the house and Home Depo wanted $6 for 25. Well I got my zip ties, and they are so dinky small If I ever want to arrest an earth worm I can zip ties its arms behind its back. 8-o They will work on the small cords. Now only 995 more zips to go!

Everyone rants about this one so I ordered it last week. I don't have it yet though ==> https://www.fasttech.com/p/1425200

Of course, a day later, THIS came out so I ordered it TOO ==> https://www.fasttech.com/p/1448300

Look at the drop-downs by the price and you will see the Sentinel also comes in "Silver". Be warned, that one has an aluminum top meaning the 510 threads are aluminum (something to be avoided). I guess they strip out/wear down real easy.

Anyway, seems to get really good reviews from everyone other than the aluminum thing on the silver model. God knows they have plenty of mech's to choose from, that's just the one I picked.

You know you are ready for the 12-step program when you put an app on your phone to track your FastTech orders. No offense intended... hehe

I didn't quit smoking, I just traded addictions.

Now it's finding shiny Chinese geegaws and obsessively tracking their shipping progress.

LOL, look at the air gap all the way around that coil.

I'm not liking their prices on the new RBA's they're getting. $16 for aluminum and who knows what else (the Mini-Did said stainless but it's plated brass, at least it was cheap)? I can get a AGA for that price and it is stainless.
If the AGA can be made in China with stainless and sold in the US for $16 FT needs to start carrying them to force whoever is making these other ones to bring their price down.

I don't get it. They were getting RDA's for $5 and $10. Why does adding a tank cause the price to jump so much on these basic gennies?

Maybe they are expecting the mesh to expand when it is saturated. I agree 100% about the gennies.....

Eternity clone. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...ity-electronic-cigarette-rebuildable-atomizer
The price is more realistic for what the Visions Eternity should cost.

I'm not one to bash Chinese products, but given a low enough price, stainless is more a color option than a material.
