So the private v2 I ordered last week that hasn't shipped just went into restocking status. I'm not too happy about that. I probably won't order anything I am looking forward to from FT anymore.

The drip tips i ordered did arrive with no tracking updates yesterday and they seem pretty decent.

that happened to my Vamo,,,,it only took a couple days in restocking.


although now it's lost in the Chinese Black Hole.

If FT quote the manufacturer the goods are made by that manufacturer. No one on this thread has had an issue with batteries fom FT as far as I recall.

I got the same answer in droves last night on FB. The only downside now is that batteries can't be air-mailed anymore so they are headed for the slow boat...

If you have concerns about legitimacy and delivery time I suggest you pay more and buy locally for your peace of mind.

Well, I ordered batts on the 23rd. A total of six 14500. They were shipped out and "processed" through San Fran on the 29th. They were packs of two in a plastic battery case. I was surprised that they shipped so soon. I wonder now if the plastic case made the difference or they "flew under the wire" so to speak. So maybe, if they pack them right, It will still be able to ship air. Then again maybe they did the "old foil trick" (this still bothers me). I don't know. I guess we'll see.

On another note, this package has been in transit since with no updates, and it hasn't arrived yet. Normally, it's in the box the 2nd day after. Looks like HKP isn't the only posty with issues right now. Just hope for no more safety problems for our postal workers.

I am expecting 3 of mine to all show up in the next week or so. The most recent orders will be longer since they got caught in their holiday :p

I have 2 new orders in 'Acceptance' - 1 of these will be a split order
1 order is 100% juice and it's been processed THROUGH Hong Kong
2 other orders of toppers has been processed THROUGH Hong Kong - 1 of these was a split order

All batteries I have bought from FT ship in a plastic case. Have they started selling singles?

State side vendors should pick this up as a tip and throw in the case, too.

Question ???

I just got a 5 pack of 510-X batteries, THOUGHT I could use my 510 chargers, WRONG, the 510-X are fatter (400 mah batteries), so I THOUGHT I could use my EGO charger, WRONG, This SUCKS. Had to use my EGO PCC to charge them. Anyone got a link to the chargers for a 510-X on FT? (Can't Find Them) I got them for PIF to friends (once I get the 510 tanks on the order I placed 9-7), but I need some chargers that they will fit into. Any help is appreciated. I vaped on one tonight with a carto and it was nice, I think they would be good for a N00B to try to see if they liked vaping over the cigs. JMHO

Vape On
:vapor:

Read Viking65.. I never used this battery before, but keep in mind using the right charging cable and wall wart for safety.

Cool looking battery though.

I'm dying to know why...but then again, I suppose some things are better left unknown lol

Ha! Now this was 30+ years ago. Let me put it this way.. they way they got into the bottles was a shovel and 3 sweaty dudes in a room. Yes.. one of those things you don't want to know about but explains why people get sick from some foods.

I've got a decision to make. Should I check-out my shopping cart on FastTech knowing full well that no one will do anything with it until Oct 7th? Or, do I keep the charge off my credit card until FastTech is back to 100% operation? If I was absolutely certain that my order would be filled before someone that ordered after me, I could see some benefit to getting the order in line. I don't think they care about sequential delivery at all.

There is no need to respond with: "If you have concerns about legitimacy and delivery time I suggest you pay more and buy locally for your peace of mind." I already know that.

For myself, I am not ordering until they are back and things have smoothed out. Any new orders now will just be clogging up the works and make the time for things to smooth out after they are back that much longer. Do I have any evidence of this? Nope none at all. I just have visions of a pileup of orders getting bigger every day which can't possibly be a good thing for accurate packing and timely shipping.

Well I got my Chentinel V3 yesterday. Very happy with it. The TVS Chiablo just processed through Hong Kong and I have juice somewhere between SF and Colorado. So I am trying to utilize internal discipline and not make another order.

However........the brass King style mech is taunting me. Anybody get one yet?

Me too. Very similar in style to the Chi-you, not sure which I want more. The King has silver plated contacts, but they both seem like great mechs. Maybe the brass King and the stainless steel Chi... but I also like the brass Chi lol.

My view is the 0.0001c the cash would earn in interest in the few days between ordering and them returning from Hols isn't worth worrying about, I just slung my order in and it will come when it comes, it is stuff I needed anyway.

For some reason the Chi-you just doesn't appeal to me. Don't know why. I like the size and weight of the brass King. I want a mech that's a little bigger and heavier. I don't want any threads to show when it's in 18650 mode.

Hooray for vape-mail (especially unexpected vape-mail)!

The first half of my order (with 2x 18650's plus some other stuff) was shipped on the 14th, and was finally processed in HK on the 30th or 31st. It's skipped straight to Georgia and is supposedly out for delivery!

The second half of my order, a back-ordered M16 mech, shipped out alone several days later and has been in my hands for about two weeks :)

Have faith, fellow vapers. It'll get here. One day...

Woohoo!
