Well......'so far, so good' means [other than that one evod]....everything I have ordered has worked and I am happy...?*
Pretty good album. Not as good as Peace Sells. Ellefson is no where near a Cliff Burton but he is great in his own right. At least he isn't a Les Claypool.
Well.... after almost a month in acceptance with HK post my order still sits without any movement. FT only response is wait four more days and see, its always wait a few more days with them. I've pretty much given up, not sure if I'll place another order with FT. The real ..... thing about it is, that's the first place I've found that has affordable mods that i find aesthetically pleasing. SUCKS when your ballin on a budget.
I think Les Claypool took that car so far off the road, no one has wanted to drive it since.
Agree about Jr.
I agree with most of what you say. The juices are fine, and were much less costly than those I buy in the U.S. Kudos to FT for that.
The Protank IIs were about a dollar less than the ones I ordered from U.S. online vendors when the FT order was stalled in Hong Kong. I was also going to order Protank II minis from FT, but they were out of stock. FastTech's price for the Protank II mini is about $4 HIGHER than I paid to a Wisconsin online vendor who got good reviews here in the forum. Go figure!
I also bought a Vision Spinner online. It cost me about half the total cost of the three ego twist clones, two of which work well. I'll grant that I did ok, price-wise, on the egos.
Here's the thing. I am new at this, and have bought sundry vape gear from about half a dozen online shops here. Everything came as ordered, worked as specified, and got here with little or no shipping cost in two to three days. I am ready to do more business with any of those domestic vendors without reservation. With FT, I have to weigh the very attractive prices against the possibility (I didn't say likelihood) that something will be defective, and that it may take quite a while to sort things out.
FastTech offers a certain business proposition. It has attractive elements. I'm not sure how much QC is part of their value package.
I def feel your "budget" problem, but what exactly would you want FT to do about it? Are you asking for a refund, even though more than likely, it eventually will pass thru HK? Do you want them to go down to the HK Post and physically take back your package?
I don't understand how any of this can be FT's fault, and I'm someone who just waited what seems like forever for a FT delivery
I complained plenty, but never blamed FT for the HK Posts regs. To me, I appreciate FT's great prices and speedy shipping practices. I've never had them sit on an "Instock" item. What more do they owe us other than mailing our products once we pay them, and then stand behind the same products during the return period?You could always open a claim with Paypal, but don't be surprised when your FT account is suspended.
Both of my packages left SF today!! How cool would it be to get two packages which were purchased 26 days apart on the same day! LOL
I agree with many of your points. I bought Authentic Smoktech 510 Dual Coils Cartomizers (5-Pack) 2.5ohms
$7.61 Authentic Smoktech 510 Dual Coils Cartomizers (5-Pack) 5-pack - 2.5 ± 0.2
I relied on advice in the reviews. One of them pointed directly to these cartomizers. Foolish move on my part. I didn't have a clue that you need a 6 volt battery to drive one of these. FastTech doesn't help a newbie out much. And, they don't carry single coil cartomizers. Domestic vendors offer better descriptions and lots of tips for clueless people like me. Spending $7.61 wasn't so painful. Waiting weeks to receive something I knew wasn't going to work for me was. I was able to buy 5 single coil cartomizers from MadVapes for a total of $7.95. Lesson learned.
I still need to find a use for these 2.5ohm Dual Coils.
Just my 2 cents, for good prices on boge cartos go to surevapes or hoosiervapes they have the best price around
I like the way you put that "FastTech offers a certain business proposition." That is indeed what it is. You are basically acting as your own wholesaler and you take the risk involved. If your careful, patient, and willing to jump through some hoops, you will also reap the financial rewards If you can get it stateside at or near the price of FT then it would be silly not to. It really matters item to item and even then, some times order to order. I just received two DOA 650 twist.
But I will jump the hoops for a refund.QC in China is just not the same thing as we have here. FT doesn't make any of it's products and probably test very little of it. You will eventually end up with a problem if you order enough times. The thing with FT is that they have always been good with covering stuff as long as you jump the hoops. Unfortunately, they were getting way behind before this whole HK post fiasco and now they are just swamped.
Great response to my rather snarky comment
I'm looking for a carto I can use with this cheap battery:
$3.37 510-T 180mAh Automatic USB Rechargeable Battery for EGO Electronic Cigarette at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Can any of the ones at SureVapes or HoosierVapes to that? This product doesn't show a picture of the carto
Boge Steel Cartos (510) at Hoosier $5 for a five pack.

Just wondering, why would you need a 6V battery to drive these? Is it that you can't get high enough wattages for your taste with a 3.7V batterY?
Afaik those should work with your battery, but i only use cartos with tanks and with twists and my MVP. Contact them and ask for advice, they always answer fast
I read this chart and article
Undestanding resistances, LR and HV
Dual Coils need double the volts of single coils. So, a 2.5ohm Dual Coil is like 5.0 Single Coil.
I'm over my head already trying to explain it.
Ok so I'm looking at getting one of the x8 carto tanks, I do have a few boge dct cartos from the local vape shop.
Anyone seen something akin to the terminator/killer705/rebuildable on ft? Would be nice to get them from the same vendor, but if not I can find them in the states for next to nothing anyhow
