The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[JRudey]

I really like a couple items I received today from fasttech:

EGO-T Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizer
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1292800

USB Cable Connected Wired Battery for Electronic Cigarette
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1368706

Together they make a great set-up for dripping. I'm using a 1000mA AC power adapter I picked up from a popular vendor based in North Carolina. The Passthrough device is solid and the Atomizer fits perfectly. It doesn't come with a mouthpiece, so I'm vaping directly off the Atomizer. I have a mouthpiece in my wishlist I hope will work:

For those of you that have mentioned being "restricted", can you please elaborate? Are you being restricted by FastTech, or are you having issues with PayPal?

Just curious, I did a quick search and didn't find anything other than MANY threads talking about laws restricting vaping...?

There was some issue with PayPal and FT sent in some form that has to be filled out yearly. Once the form was turned in, the restrictions were lifted... read it straight from FT in another thread or way back in this thread LOL There is a restriction with buying or selling tobacco/e-cig products on eBay & PayPal, but it is stateside companies that cannot sell, international restrictions differ.

Just an update on a FT order. It has 2 18650 batteries in it and just made it through HKP. I was fully expecting it to be sent back to FT but somehow it got through. Looks like it was in HK for a total of 9 days.

VAPEMAIL today!!

Got 10 large knives, bunch of Ego spinners, 300ml of juice, bunch of stuff for my bug-out kits.
Ordered on Sept 12, shipped Sept 15 and in my mailbox today in Indiana.
Fasttech is taking the bottles of e-liquid and wrapping them in aluminum foil... hahaha!
I'm quite happy, they will go the extra mile to try and make sure you get your stuff if they can. I know they are having internal issues of some sort right now, and I especially don't like the way they handle customer service tickets, but you have to give them credit where due.

The spinners I got this time are slightly different than those in the past. See picture at bottom. Not sure if the quality is going to be any different or not, I've had most excellent luck with all the previous ones I've gotten.

Here's a few pictures of just a few of the items I got. ALL of it is high quality and very satisfactory... the only thing I can't vouch for yet are the new style Ego batteries, this lot is different but I'll know before long.

meanwhile, mine is still stuck in Hong Kong,,,,,,,,,,,,,since the 6th.

banging head on wall.

Got my Samsung batteries today, shipped on the 10th. Normally, some rechargable batteries isn't exciting vape-mail, but since I ordered these right when the issues came up I'm pretty glad to see them.

Noticed the same thing with a twist that finally got here today. Same exact sku number, completely different product.

Just one more strike on what was already a full count.

Finally after four days I got a response from my ticket on a computer mouse that has been out of stock for three weeks (even though they told me they had already sent it). The item is and has been listed on the site as in stock the whole time. Strikes 14 and 15. I really hope they get their stuff together because I love the prices and products but.......

Edit: The newer twist doesn't have the night light feature, so I like that.

Finally my trident clone is on its way after sitting at acceptance for ten days! My two drips tips just got shipped after being in packaging status for a week! I love the prices and been eyeballing a mech mod but I don't know if I have the patience to order from FT again.

 

[Cavediver]

My mech appears to have hit to have hit San Francisco today. My batteries and other pieces don't appear to be so lucky, despite having shipped a day or two earlier. I guess that's OK; I can get new batteries for the mech, but not the other way around...

 

[For.The.Win.Bob]

Well my order is still in acceptance in hk, been there since the 16th so not too worried yet, though if it hasn't at least made it through San Fran by Monday/Tuesday, then I will be hitting up a local vendor for something to vape with. I had initially ordered the did clone to play around with, since I pulled the trigger though I've had a string of bad luck... Ce4s (5 of them ) have all died violent deaths, my dual coil smok xl carto dead (firing button failure on my ever cool), ever cool failure, t4's tasting like straight crap, luckily my ego batts are holding up for now... May disassemble my ever cool and just convert it to a 2x 14500 3.5v just until I get a mech clone and a kick... And on top of it all I'm going to have I pay almost 8$ a bottle for a 10ml can of juice local as I have very little peach hagsen left... When it rains it pours :-(

 

[moped.greg]

This may be a silly question but I placed my first Fasttech order on the 19th. What's the Order of events?

I went through

-waiting to ship
-packaging
-Shipped

I got an email with a tracking Number but when i click it i get a messages saying untrackable?

what do i have to look forward to?

 

[e-pipeman]

Gentlemen and ladies - or vice-versa - we must be patient.

I have an order that has shipped and should be on the way that was shipped on the 28th August.

It will happen. Just have faith.

 

[Myrany]

I have simply decided I am done ordering from fasttech until we get past the aftermath of this typhoon about to hit them. Why set myself up for frustration when I have enough stuff to hand to vape for months without any ordering.

I hate doing that because I really could have used the 2 ego holders I have in my cart but really they are not a NEED thing just a want thing and cna wait.

Have you tracked the package and it says that it shipped?

Usually takes up to 48 hours before it shows up on USPS. Some times faster but not usually. You better buckle your seat belt because you are more than likely in for a long ride as it sits in HK for~10 days. But not always.

 

[e-pipeman]

Have you tracked the package and it says that it shipped?

Yes and yes.

I trust them.

It will be delivered.

Had a no-fuss quick delivery from cloud 9 in the uk the other day. Excellent.

 

[goober]

My first order was placed on the 9th of september. It is now in my hands on the 21st. All this fuss is about nothing. I think if you break up your orders into very small orders it will have a higher chance of getting through customs. (just a theory tho)

I mean, if you have a package with $200 worth of litium batteries....it could turn some heads, but if you break it up into 10 orders of $20 each, then all those packages might have a chance of getting through.

Capt. Is correct, I've had it take up to 24 hours to show on the USPS site, at most usually 24-36, YMMV.

As for what happens next, hk post/ ft is last I read saying 5-6days in acceptance before it will change there, another 12 hours after for the site to update on USPS tracking. Then depending on the route taken either NY, or San Francisco for another day or 2. Assorted post office scans accepted and departing sort facilities, and then delivery.


An example from July before all this mess,
https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=LK032032415HK

Was a couple 14500 batteries, a charger, a USB charging pcb, a balisong butterfly knife, and a t4 Atty tank.

I have a package that has been scanned in to HK on the tenth and hasn't moved since. Some are getting through normally but it still seem that the majority are looking at ~10 day in HK before it continues on its merry way.
