Just to show that sometimes things happen that are not the fault of the sender. This is a harddrive I'm returning. I promise I had nothing to do with this.
Good thing it's already broken.

And UPS is generally good about updating tracking. This one took a couple days to show up.

Man, I never though about what it takes to get packages through the system before. Seems there are lots of things that could go wrong during transport. I never though of the fact that people could get hurt or die as a result. I feel bad for the families of the two pilots that died because of a fire from li-on batteries. I do hope this isn't a trend

I've tried them. The only way I can get any vapor is on my Passthrough
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1368706

I've tried all the eGos. Even my Variable Voltage set for 4.2 volts. I hyperventilated trying to get a hit. This article and chart helped me understand:
Undestanding resistances, LR and HV

The bottom of the page explains the Dual Coils

With my iClear 16 (dual coil, 2.1 ohm) I go nowhere near 5 volts. I use an Innokin SVD nowadays, but both dual and single coils work great with my old unregulated EGOs as well (though not as great as with the SVD :) ). I honestly don't notice that much difference between single coils and dual coils at the same ohms/volts. At 6 volts I'd get serious burn taste and probably burn out my coils, whether they be dual or single. My guess is that there's something wrong with the carto's if you don't get them to work properly at normal voltages.

sorry I did read a couple of pages of this tread but it is way too long to read them all....Does anyone have any idea how long items are normally stuck in restocking status ? I placed an order for about 20 different items and all are ready to ship except one that states restocking....wondering if I should just cancel that item or wait

You can request for the re-stocking item to be sent later. I've done that and FT were happy to oblige. Remember the Chinese holidays starting, though. You'll most likely see no movement of items before the 6th of next month.

Anyone.....

Does anybodies early Sept order that's still in "Acceptance" show that it's in transit? Mine shows 2/3 bars and says that it's in transit but my order that has been prepared for shipment shows 0/3 bars and is in "Pre-shipment" status

Just wondering why my older order shows progress on the shipping tracker..

I've just taken delivery of these Mini Protank clones from Fasttech https://www.fasttech.com/products/1439205 at that price I thought I'd take a punt, having already smashed 2 version 1 minis. So if anyone is wondering if they're any good, I can happily report that they're spot on! Build quality is superb, every bit as good as the original, sure the tank is Polycarbon not glass, but nice quality and better if you're as careless as me! The coil they come with (just the one fitted) is maybe not as well wound as the Kanger originals, no gap in the middle, but they work just fine and I recoil mine quite a lot anyway, no worries if you don't, these take original Kanger replacement atomisers too. Great value and more hopefully more robust than the originals, yet another bargain buy from Fasttech. Might have to try their version of it's big brother now.

Ahhhhhh, I have orders all the way back to August 28th that are at a standstill. Since I am now at 4 weeks and have a total of 5 orders - no, 6 because one was split, I've gone ahead and gotten some things elsewhere =] My FT order will be a nice surprise when it arrives and my juice will be magnificently steeped LOL Some of it was to PIF, but she'll just have to wait it out :p

I think you are confusing PIF (giving goods to people in need to get the karma needed so someone will help you out at some point in the future when you are in need) with reselling.

I know the difference. The people I'm helping out don't have much cash. One couple doesn't even own a credit card.

I wish my Dual Coil cartos were 2.1 ohms. Unfortunately, I foolishly bought the 2.5 ohms.

Here's the chart:

Somewhere out there
Glass Mini pro tank https://www.fasttech.com/p/1437023 is doing well. So is the Evod battery https://www.fasttech.com/p/1422602. This battery seems to be better made than the typical FT cheap egos. It's also regulated to 3.8 volts. Most cheap egos start at 4.2 volts and gradually drop until then reach shutoff point under 3.6 volts. Regulated means a more consistent vape. Really enjoying the pair.

My KWX10 https://www.fasttech.com/p/1442701 finally escaped from Hong Kong (Escape from Hong Kong should be a movie title) I'm looking forward to trying it in a few days (nearly a month after ordering). Anyone else try one of these yet?

For those of you posting shipping updates, are you guys all using the "recommended" shipping upgrade or just the free one?

The free one is the recommended one if your ticket is over $15.

"USPS First-Class FREE (5 to 8 days in transit typical) - (5 to 8 days in transit typical) - *note recent aviation security scan delays"

Right there with you. Order sitting in acceptance since 08/31. USPS website says In-Transit with 2/3 bar full. No movement whatsoever. SUUUUXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!

What I don't understand though is why the order that has had an update still doesn't have bars. Almost like the old order is moving but w/o updates. That's what I want to think. :)
