That's really kind of you to offer, thank you, but I just got rid of all my juices I didn't want, and only have a few flavors that I vape, my wife isn't urgent, she has 2 DAV batteries now, which are 808's, only reason she is getting the ego's, is so she can also use the same iclear's I have, with coils only just over a buck a piece, doesn't get much cheaper than that.
I didn't know you could choose which one you wanted. All four of my orders went Singapore Post. I simply selected FREE - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED when I checked-out. My experience is that Singapore Post is identical to the Hong Kong Post experience. Only difference I have observed is that Hong Kong Post orders seem to get useful updates.
I have two real Vision ET rda's (one on an ego, one on my FT e-pipe clone), and I like them a lot with micro-coils and cotton wicks.
I also got one of the clones from FT a couple weeks ago. The clone is actually a Saturn Venus (or Venus clone). In comparison, the clone I got has a looser draw and no gaskets on the threaded parts. The threaded parts are interchangeable, but the threading feels smoother on the actual ET. I don't care for the drip tip on the clone, but that is not a big deal.
At the moment I definitely prefer the ET, but have no doubt the Venus will perform just fine when I tighten up the draw and wrap my own coils for it. I have only minimally used the clone and don't know if the lack of gaskets will lead to leakage, but that is fixable. I won't comment on using either version in tank-mode as I only use them in dripper configuration.
cheers,

Vape mail from FT came yest. Ordered 8/29, finally arrived 9/18! Only 20 days to get an order from China. Lol But the good news is it made it. My IGO L hits like a beast. Hopefully future orders will not take nearly 3 wks to arrive. I cheated and got pre-made coils. I am not mechanically inclined. I did however install a coil onto my IGO just to see if I could do it. Success. I was,so happy that I did it!

At the price they're offering them for I don't see why you wouldn't want to. I was thinking about ordering a 10pk but they only came in 1.8ohm. I Finally decided to hit up ebay and got 3ft of wick and 10ft on kanthal for a little under $3. That should be good enough for 30-35 coils on my bcc's.
You know, the more I think about it and check back on my orders, I think the 3 +/- week shipping is typical and I've been getting worked up by others lamenting at the shipping time LOL
Order and forget about it!
Order and forget about it!
Aren't yours the ones that come from the east coast?
I haven't seen many Singapore Posts but they seem to go around the world east to west. HK to US goes west to east.
Fattech newest little twist. I put a ticket in for a computer mouse that has been on back order for 21 days ( they initially told me they shipped it and then five days later sent me a ticket that said they didn't and would ship it asap). I finally responded to their ticket 2 1/2 days ago asking if it is ever going to ship but the ticket reads that it is only one day old. Like I'm so stupid that I don't remember when I wrote them and will look at it and say "OH, it says right there that it has only been a day." I have had to have several tickets over this order of nothing special and they are taking on average three days to answer and even then the answers have been obvious delaying tactics.
I'm done with FT for now, great prices or not. I made my first Fasttech order four years ago and have had a couple dozen to date. Their customer service has slipped in to the dumpster, they are out of stock on many, many items, and turn around time from the warehouse has gone from a day or two to a week or two. Then there is the whole HK post business witch of course is out of FT's hands.
Unless you absolutely don't care when or if you get your items, then go for it. But, for me, the problems have now outweighed the cost savings.

The problem is they've been spoiling us with the free super fast shipping. If they said normal shipping times were xx days then nobody would be complaining.
Yes. Mine keep surfacing in New York and I have no clue why. I didn't do anything fancy when I placed my order. I didn't override any of the default settings. I'd love to find why my first package took a side trip to Louisiana. It departed their sorting facility there and then turned around and got processed there again. It's been in the United States for 4 days now.
Still waiting for my SVD kit + batteries. Guess it was a tad optimistic to expect it this early, but hey, I got GTAV and my eGo C Twist holding fort in the meantime...
I'm with you. The discount isn't worth the hassle. I've especially learned a lesson about buying in volume. During my buying frenzy a couple weeks ago, I was buying quantity 5 of a bunch of inexpensive things to get a lower price. In retrospect, I feel that was foolish. If and when the stuff arrives I'll have things I won't really need. The big sell-off at PureSmoker last week provided my friends with kits they needed. So, kits I ordered for them from FastTech will go on a shelf.
The vamo has arrived! Ordered the 4th, shipped the 5th, delivered the 19th!

Now you know why yours are going around the world that direction.
Eric (Butters) tried Singapore once and then he was stuck there. I forget what he did to fix it.
As far as USPS sending something way out of the way. They're like that sometimes. I don't know their hubs from Louisiana but if they're anything like UPS I get shipments from there next day no matter what I paid for. You're probably another day from me.
My next mod or mods will come from FT because I don't care about when. It will probably be a Vamo and/or a mech, price is worth more than time to me.
If anyone happens to be headed to China, can you please stop in at FastTech and pick up my stuff?
Lol. Two weeks ago, I didn't need or want a mech. Now I'm wearing out my F5 key and slowing down the postal tracking site
I really hate that I've become this impatient and a slave to the right-now mentality. However, I really, really want my packages. Two reallys beat one, so I'm off to refresh again.
