I feel like I'm one of the unluckiest in the lot. I ordered a Twist and charger from fasttech because I only had about $15 left on my bank card - in the end, I was about 14 cents away from the order not going through. I ordered this battery because my $35 Blu kit broke 6 days after buying it, or else I'd be vaping that. So much money wasted and nothing to vape; I don't have money to do anything else but smoke real cigarettes and wait. I checked this thread multiple times before my order and it said nothing about this - I ordered on the 4th, and it's still in Hong Kong.

Wow. That does suck. They'll get tired and a flood of stuff will come through any day now.
This shipping fiasco might just drive more business to the Mom & Pop shops.

Lol, it's so true!! We really are all just waiting this out together!
It's frustrating because there really is nothing we can do!
My 2 orders are on hold in hk since the beginning of the month and the funniest part is I'm looking at other stuff thinking "wait at least until your other stuff moves lol"
I've got 4 ProTanks, a laptop cooling fan and 6 juices in my cart...I'm going to hit buy at any moment...and have been for about 2 weeks when I first put them in the cart...
I've got one (sad story). After checking the Fasttech website about ten times a day for weeks waiting for the Private V2 mech mod in SS, brass, and copper to become available again, I was finally able to order it YESTERDAY MORNING!!! Then during the day I find out about this shipping slowdown. Oh well, I'll get it sooner or later.
Also had two other orders already in the pipeline. they're stuck also. BTW, with the V2, I also have a Trident 24K & SS atomizer. Thought they'd look good together.

Its a disease. I'm still tempted to pull the trigger an an MVP2 figuring it will get here eventually. I even thought about getting it at another retailer that routes through Bejiing and uses China Post but I know thats a guaranteed 3 week run even in the best of circumstances.
The sad part is how well I've resisted the mech temptation for all of this time***. One trip in to the epipemods B&M, and I finalized my decision to build a pipe. That means I need batteries (I bought a couple at the shop). And since I have batteries, I'll need a charger. And hey, since I have a charger, I might as well get some 18650s and a mod. So, I did. Or, I will. Or, well, somewhere in there...
ETA: ***All this time being a grand total of five months as of today
I don't know if I should laugh about that or cry...

You guys see Phil's review of it? He said it takes quite a bit of pressure to push the fire button. He was doing "thumb ups" in the video... kinda funny.
The Black, and Titanium Blue colors are out of stock. The Rugged Steel color is available however.

OK, I'll try to lighten the mood (or make you even more frustrated because I got stuff!) LOL
Yesterday I received a package from FT. In it was...........
* SS Chi-You mod ---- I am very happy with it. Keep in mind that I have never used, held, or seen in person a $200-$300 mod. With that being said, I think it is really nice! It did come with 2 very small indentions (too small to call dents, really) like they had been made with a sewing needle (that small). Other than that, it looks great and feels solid.
**10mL Hangsen RY4---- I really like this flavor. It is actually the best RY4 that I have tried, albeit one of the few that I have tried. I am not an RY4 enthusiast by any stretch of the imagination, as this is the first that I have enjoyed, but I can safely say that it is head-and-shoulders better than MBV's RY4 (at least to me). I have a 30mL bottle in my cart for next time.
***10mL Hangsen Juicy Peach---- What can I say? You guys and gals were right. This stuff is really good! I regret not ordering in lower nic concentration so that I could vape it more often, and I feel like an idiot for not ordering a 30mL bottle......which will be in my next order.
****Vinyl Shrink Tubing---- I got this for my Panasonic 18650's and it worked like I hoped it would.
*****Bear Grylls Folding Knife---- All I will say is that I doubt one could find a better $10 knife.
******Mini Plunger Sucker Stand for Smartphones ---- I got a 2-pack of these for the heck of it, and they suck!.....as they were made to do.
Now I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my Ithaka while I fight the urge to order a brass Chi......

Suddenly I have the opposite problem. I'm now hoping the FT order (500ml) doesn't get through HK Post. This just came from Heartland Vapes. I gotta quit drunk ordering! 
I like Phil and that indoorsmoker guy. Phil is informative and the other guy is just nuts.
So.... Wait for the MVP 2.5?
Edit: Maybe the MVP 2.5 will be shipping by the time HKP gives up on their battery and liquid crusade. HA!

My Nemesis is in SF finally... I can't wait to get that stinking thing so I can finally have enough freekin power to light up my Ithaka the way it's meant to be. I'm afraid I might just get nicotine poisoning and OD from it based on the way it hits on an SVD... and that's still not enough power.
I've only gotten a couple of knives so far, but they have both been really good quality. They appear to be cheaper 440c stainless blades, but they are still really good knives for the 4-5 dollar range. I have one of these (https://www.fasttech.com/p/1208203) on order as well as this (https://www.fasttech.com/p/1208201) and a sharpener (https://www.fasttech.com/p/1054000) that I've had my eye on.
I ordered them yesterday so I should be able to report on them before Christmas maybe...
Oh yeah, sure they'll send knives and toy guns but now they won't send lighters, batteries or e-liquid anymore.
I have 3 orders sitting in HK post now that have been there for 7 days (all with at least one of those "no-ship" items)
And 2 more orders pending.
Besides mech mods and RBAs , I don't think it would be wise to order from FT anymore.

Delay In Outbound Air Mail Services
To safeguard aviation security, Hongkong Post does not accept the sending of air mail items (including Speedpost) that contain dangerous articles such as perfumery products, lighters and lithium batteries. Hence, all mail items entering the Air Mail Centre are subject to x-ray screening. Recently, there is an increasing number of air mail items detected to contain suspected dangerous articles, in particular, lithium batteries, which lengthens the screening process. In this connection, air mail registration service, iMail service and Bulk Air Mail service may be subject to delay. Any inconvenience caused is much regretted.
