I have a Nemesis clone coming. I can't wait since my KTS+ crapped out on me and caused a big safety hazard. Currently my friends sigelei 19b that I've been modding.

I just ordered 2 more Nemesis clones that I plan to do surgery on when they get here.
I'm going to chuck them up and try to make the finish more uniform and smooth out the transitions on the tubes... and see if I can improve the switch on them.

$18.29 USB My Hi-Fi Sound Blaster at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Placing an order for these as well. Those prices are way too good.

Someone please stop me. My entire paycheck is slowly disappearing...

what is that thing supposed to do? It has me curious...

Absolutely hands down awesome. No kidding, best dripper I have, and excellent airflow options right out of the box. buy it, You won't be sorry.

Great to hear. I ordered it last week actually. I really have been feigning for a vicious ant cyclone but can't really imagine spending almost $100 for a dripper with how little I drip.

He doesn't have a lot of money. He was trying to quit and got taken by the lovely Blu folks... To him, he got what he could with the little money he had left. Then it got held up in this nonsense with customs. Now does he spend what he has on smokes to get him by until it arrives, or go spend 5X as much at a US vendor with money he doesn't have?
Some folks live paycheck to paycheck. I remember days long ago when I had 2-3 bucks left in my checking account on payday. 25 bucks is a serious expenditure for someone in that position, let alone 50 bucks to overpay for a stinking EVOD kit or something.
I'd rather show a little understanding and offer to help out than run him off with a bad taste for ECF, and vaping in general.
Soon as he figures out he has a PM, I've offered to send him a free kit with juice to get him by. What will anyone else offer to actually help him out instead trying to make him feel unwelcome?

^ THIS is what vaping is all about ... right on.

most of FT drippers are very good. i have plenty of them and they all work very very well. drippers have a fairly simple design and they are imo cheap to make. so get some 5 or 10 FT drippers, use and abuse them and just vape without having to babysit a +100$ mod. seems logical to me

it's an external/usb sound card to make your sound better for your computer or laptop. I thought better of it and didn't buy it because they didn't have enough information in the specs section. I assume its a knock-off of the popular Amazon.com: Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB Audio System with THX SB1095: Electronics

but without the specific details, I couldn't go through with the purchase.

I did buy the earphones though. They go for $35 on amazon.

You order from half way around the world and get upset because it gets delayed, by customs (HK Post), NOT the suppler, who shipped it promptly. Only thing I would fault FT on is not telling us ahead of time, but other than that, they are not at fault with the delays. Go ahead and order from where you want in the future and don't use FT, get it from local venders in 3 to 5 days, most of the time. But don't gripe when they are out of stock on something, because IT ALL COMES FROM CHINA. Just the USA venders order BEFORE THEY NEED IT so they have it in stock FOR YOU, but it still comes from CHINA. So IF you plan ahead like the venders do and aren't NEEDING IT NOW, then the wait is not a big deal, just expect a month for delivery and if you get it in 10 days so much the better. Enough of my rant, time for another beer.

I respectfully disagree. FT is far from perfect.
My beef with them has nothing to do with HK shipping delays but delays directly from FT.
FT allows you to add AND pay for items in your shopping cart they don't physically have in stock without advance warning they're out of stock -- the Trident RBA is an example of this.

For days all items were "ready to ship" with the Trident not shipping until 9/10 so my entire order was being held up for the item they didn't have.
This was my 1st time using FT and it's the 1st time I've been able to purchase out of stock items.

I contacted them and they broke the order up -- shipping what was available then later the Trident when they got some in.
This is a case where the customer wasn't made aware up front which was totally in FT's control.

Personally I think they've grown really big because of us, and they need to hire more help to keep up. They used to be a lot faster to ship. I've noticed on some recent orders that all items show ready to ship, but it still sits for a few days.

 

[spartanstew]

I keep reading posts about delays in shipping from China recently-has anyone seen or heard anything about FastTech shipping being delayed?

 

[tA71ana]

I'm going to bring this forward, since I never got a response...

Has anyone cancelled an item from a paid shipment that is waiting on said item to come in stock, only to find the rest of the shipment has become untouchable to additional item cancellations? How about an item going from "ready to ship" to "restocking" when the item says it is in stock and ships the next day when viewed on it's own page?

I think their inventory system is a little wonky

 

[Capt.shay]

I heard there might have been a fire and Hong Kong Post...............

 

[Maggiemw]

Those items should have no problem finding it's way into your hands, but we should still expect longer wait times for all of our orders, whether it has batteries in it or not.

Given where I live, and my own post office's ways of dealing with things, I have always told myself that things get here when they get here. Doesn't matter where they come from - two weeks is always a minimum. I prefer it that way, in fact, because anything that comes DHL or FedEx is 100% guaranteed to be subject to waits in Customs and VAT.

So my stuff will get here...|I'm really looking forward to trying out the SVD, although my MVP is genius.

 

[Scope666]

It's like deja vu all over again.

 

[kinggirl]

I had been hearing that alot but I placed an order on 9/10 and as of tracking now it's just arrived in Dallas where I live. It sat in Hong Kong for a couple of days then moved quickly to San Fran and then now Dallas. If I get tomorrow, then that's 7 days total time including the weekends.

 

[jacosta951]

still waiting for my shipment to leave HK, first time ordering and i am kinda disapointed =/ Been sitting in HK for ovver 6 days.

 

[Fullknight]

Sometimes my orders don't show any movement for a few days. One order got to San Francisco then didn't show for couple days. All of the sudden it showed it was in Florida. I'm in Oklahoma.

Sorry, not a clue
