the nimbus clone with 4 holes. impressions?

Looks good to me. Four holes, which can easily be widened if needed, and it has holes in the posts. I have one ordered, but it isn't due to ship until the 19th. I just hope it actually ships then. I think that vendors, or A vendor, snatched all of the first run up....

Yeah same here. I've got an order in the pipeline with batteries in it. It hasn't moved from Hong Kong yet. I ordered it last Sunday so it's been 8 days of sitting. Anyone know if it's actually going to move through and if it's not do you have any recommendations about how to handle it?

I am currently experiencing the same issue. I ordered August 31st, it was sent out Sept. 6, and It's been sitting at the Hong Kong post since. I was wondering why the hell it wasn't moving and I realized that I ordered a freakin 18350 battery as part of my order.. So I'm in the same boat, I sent FT a message, just waiting until the end of the year for their reply. Plz let me know if you find anything out!

Uhm although I haven't really heard of anybody having bad experiences with juices from China, I feel a bit...uncertain? ordering liquids directly from China that I'm going to be inhaling in my lungs. I know that years ago, there were some tests done and somebody, somewhere found something harmful. Probably a one off occurrence but still, I prefer American eliquids created here, or at least mixed here (because a lot of liquid bases are from China I believe).. Not to scare anybody, Just my :2c:

Dekang alone make over 50% of the worlds ejuice by volume.
The PG in Hangsen is manufactured by Dow in the US.
Liqua flavourings are made in the EU.

All the above Chinese brands are sold widely around the world. Most US sites I have seen only say they source their ingredients from US suppliers not that they are US made ingredients. Manufacture is a global enterprise these days.

Nothing you can do but wait, you just picked a terrible time to place an order, it should get through in a few days if it has sat for 8 so far, if it is refused by HK customs then it will get returned to FT and they will refund in full.

Good to know. I'm usually very patient with any order from China. This is my first FT order. I kind of expected it to take ~3 weeks like previous orders from Health Cabin but the hardware I'm vaping on now is starting to act up so I'm getting nervous.

Also, their clean rooms make me feel a lot better than what I can imagine some of the US vendors look like. ;-)

As far as your orders sitting in the Hong Kong post, that may be normal. My order contains ego style batteries and sat there for at least two weeks. It currently processed through San Francisco so I am hoping to get my order soon. This is my first order with them, so I may be wrong.

3-5 days at HK is normal (for free shipping) from my 20 or so orders. The last couple of weeks are special circumstances.

I didn't pay for that one, I got SKU 1423203 - CE4 Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizers (8-Pack) x 2
$8.99 CE4 Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizers (8-Pack) - 1.6ml / 2.4ohm / black + pink + purple + red + yellow + blue + green at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Uhhhhh, I just counted them out... I paid for the 8 CE4s for $8.99 and got the 10 CE4s with the bag... I hope someone doesn't lose their job over this because they sent a free Pyrex Protank as well :(

Hey! That's why my protank is missing? You can keep the bag and extra clearos but I'll PM my address to you and FT will never know. LMAO.

I just hope whoever it really belongs to is compensated.

Yeah right? I been trying to ignore the comments about them ( I have waaay too many toys ), but I'm about to lose to the temptation

psst "You know you want an MVP"

And so do you Lisa.

Ultimately, I want to buy a Reo bottom feeder. I've been rationalizing in my head that I should probably go ahead and buy an MVP just to be sure I like the form factor. You know, so I don't waste money later....


I'm with you ... I've been eyeballing them for awhile now ... so many color choices too ... boggles the mind.

If you are capable of do it yourself stuff there is an easy* (*again, if you are capable) way to get an idea. Transplant the stuff inside your ego to a 2AA battery box. I found a box actually feels better than cylinder.

ETA - The MVP is bigger than what I did but the shape is my point.

I noticed yesterday that FT sells quite a few enclosure boxes, including some fairly nice aluminum ones, should one want to take on such an endeavor.

I didn't look to see if they do the 2AA box but Radio Shack sells them and if one is in a person's area, so does Fry's Electronics. Fry's is something like $1.29 and RS is over $2. The batteries in an ego fit great in those.
 
Reply times seem to have dropped over the last couple of months. back in June I sent them a link to Chinese manufacturers of Twists and Evods and they had them on the website within 48 hrs, now people say it takes 72hrs just to answer a question, I guess it's fast growth teething troubles, hopefully it will get back to the old levels.

going on 4 days with no response from my ticket...
