I finally got my order for an iTaste VV. It took awhile, but it was worth the wait.
It works fantastic! Variable wattage does make a huge difference and its much smaller than I thought it would be

Man I must say shipping takes a while! I ordered a few things 2ish weeks ago and still nothing. Lets hope its worht it!
Take that neoprene cover off the top coil before you start the dry burn.
Sigh - 80% PG - and me being PG sensitive, that is a no go
I did put in a ticket asking for a 100% vg juice for us folks
I made a booboo last time I ordered mine, just a note the non nic one is a very mild hint of peach. The ry4 from there is pretty good, vaped the little bottle in under 3 days (don't know for sure because I haven't tried any other brands but have been told its milder "eastern version" not over powered like the American ry4's). Dekang dr pepper was more like flat dr. Choice.
Argh...

Exactly...watch the coils...hit the button for 3-4 seconds...very short bursts but watch as the coil with no fluid glows red, wait a few seconds between burns, next hit glows more red, next more...each time you "burn" it, when you let off the button blow to cool. Eventually you will see the coil evenly glow red all the way across....this is when you know it's "conditioned" and a very thin layer of oxidation has built on the coil protecting it and "normalizing" the surface resistance across the coil.
Pre-prime the coil with 1 drop of the juice you are fixing to fill it with, then one drop on each side of the wick outside the post. Put back on neoprene cover, assemble the tank...fill and Vape yo face off!!!
DO NOT dry burn cotton wicks coils if you ever "roll your own" wicks Silica wicks are glass fiber...glass melting/burning/flash point is MUCH higher than those coils could ever get (aka...the wire itself will melt in two before it burns the glass), cotton....not so much!
Do this with every new coil..it will already be dry...but it conditions the new coil...once used...and you wash it...it helps get rid of the excess water soaked up into the coil and might even burn off the left over carbon or goo on the wick from previous use

MOVEMENT!!
After being 'accepted' by the HK post office on Sept. 9th, it has 'processed through the sort facility' on Sept. 20th. Hurray!!
On a side note, I don't think the increased scrutiny by the HK post is all bad. My last order from FastTech took six days from shipment to my mailbox (rural South Carolina). There's simply no way an American business could compete. If all deliveries will now take 3 weeks from China, it will probably drive more individuals to American companies. Those people who plan ahead can still order from overseas while those who need things right away will shop locally.

Long as it isn't hk postal... Wouldn't want to see anyone build up a backlog of unprocessed anger
Lol, nice one.
I think 2 full weeks in acceptance is uncalled for considering packages shipped a week or more later than mine are already in the states. If others weren't moving it would be ok, call me jealous if you want.

This was just shy of two weeks:
| YOUR LABEL NUMBER | SERVICE | STATUS OF YOUR ITEM | DATE & TIME | LOCATION | FEATURES | |
| LK036060385HK | First-Class Package International Service | Processed Through Sort Facility | September 19, 2013, 3:01 pm | HONG KONG AIR MAIL CENTRE, HONG KONG | International Letter | |
| Acceptance | September 6, 2013, 4:00 pm | HONG KONG |
I placed a orders on the 10th and the 14th, today the once placed on the 14th has processed while the other one is still sitting, looks like the newest order is actually going to get here quicker than the older order, nothing urgent in both though.
I know all the troubles going on, but I'm still ordering, the savings make it worth the wait, not like buying my 1st battery, so even though I would like it here quick, it's not going to stop me vaping if takes a month to get here.

Day three and still waiting on a response to a ticket.
I can live with the wait but combine it with poor customer service and this deal just doesn't seem worth it any more.

My experience has not been so good. Two of my orders (placed 08/31 & 09/02) are in the United States, but have been at large for 4 days now. One is sitting in Baton Rouge, LA ... totally mystery at this point. I opened a ticket with the USPS. I have two more orders (placed 09/05) still sitting in Hong Kong. I assume that's where they are, because USPS hasn't reported them as being in the States, yet.
I'm not blaming any particular entity. FastTech has an established channel for us. This path seems to work well for many of their customers. But, it's problematic. There are too many moving parts. Too many things make this shipping method unreliable. I never asked for my stuff to be sent via Singapore Post. I went with the FREE - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED option that was pre-selected for me when I placed the order. I fully expected my stuff to go through San Francisco like everyone else here. Instead, I'm seeing my packages moved around the United States.
I'm sure many of you will say: "But, that's not FastTech's fault". I agree, FastTech got the product out the door. But, it went out the door into a channel full of problems. Distribution Channels are a company's problem. FastTech owns this problem. They can't wash their hands and say it's someone else's problem. When I order from popular vendors in North Carolina my stuff follows a standard path. It costs more. I'm starting to think that it's money well spent to deal with a company that knows it's their job to get the product in your hands, not just out their door.
