The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[Patkid]

Glad for you!!
Sad for me.
Still showing HK acceptance 9-6.
There does seem to be a glimmer of hope with some movement for others.
I am not, however, holding my breath.
LOL

The MVP is BIG? Oh my, I thought it was slimmer... Hmmm, I am glad you posted as I've been looking at them and considering. I have several Gripper mods and they are all too large and cumbersome for daily use and taking to work :/ THANKS for responding, Capt.shay!

Well, big is relative. Compared to a stick style it is big. I'm sure it is slimmer than a gripper...hang on a minute and let me grab my ruler......in American it is 3/4" thick and 4 3/4" tall. I'll carry it in jeans but kind of bulky in shorts. But, 2600 mAh is a comforting number.

I have to interject here...
The MVP isn't "big" at all. It's about half the size of a pack of cigarettes. Yes, it is larger than an Ego, but it's not big by any means.
It is heavy though, compared to a regular Ego. I would think that for a woman who carries a purse, the MVP would be absolutely perfect.
The only time I really can't deal with the MVP is when I am out wearing the lightweight style basketball shorts... the kind with an elastic waistband. The MVP is heavy enough to make that a problem. But of course, just about ANY mod is too heavy to carry in those pockets.
for comparison purposes:

Provari Mini - 4.6oz
MVP - 5.6oz
900mah Smok spinner - 1.7oz.
Smok SiD - 4.4oz
Nemesis - 5.4oz
X6 - 2.4oz

The MVP is about the same length as a 650mah Ego and is only as wide as 2 of my fingers... I have pretty big hands though.

 

[OzarkTroutBum]

You want BIG box apv look at the new VTR or the old Sigeili TMax.

Yes its bigger than an eGo but half as much as those other 2. I have big hands so I can stealth vape somewhat with an MVP. It may be a tad heavy but not so much that I feel like I'm lugging around unnecessary weight and knowing that the battery will last all day and well into the next is comforting. The biggest pleasure to me is being able to just plug it in and charge it. No separate charger and no disassembly required.

LOVE my MVP ... first device I reach for if I have to go somewhere ... there's something about knowing that the battery will last me all day and then some that's very reassuring when traveling.

A mvp would last me a couple weeks as my at home unit. Thinking about one as a x-mas present along with a 20ml bcc. Half a month free from refilling/charging.

 

[havoc1967]

Well my final open order got to Colorado Springs this morning I am happy to say. So I will take a few days (or try to) before making another order and starting my usps.com stalking again My question is this though. I have a tendency to make multiple smaller orders as I get the urge. I like getting lots of packages, what can I say. A good friend of mine however made one very large order, almost $200. It has been sitting in HK acceptance for weeks. Am I correct in assuming big packages arouse closer scrutiny and get held longer?

I love my MVP. It is so practical and not heavy or clunky - I have little old lady hands, after all... It really is about the size of half a pack of cigarettes. I have it in an eGo case in my purse and use it all the time when I'm out. The SVD that arrived last week is awesome, but it stays home...

 

[KnurledNut]

(l-r) MVP, V3 Mod, X6

 

[Capt.shay]

Good comparison there Knurled but we were referring to the iTaste V3. I didn't know there was one called the V3 mod.

So does "Processed Thru Sort Facility Hong Kong" mean that it made it thru????? Possibly on a plane?

Ahhhhhhhh, GREAT COMPARISONS! I pulled my gear out and am using the Gripper again. It's a heavy hitting little bugger, but it's a bit wide for me to use daily as my hands cramp up. I'll get one, but it may be awhile I just pulled out 'some' of my vape gear and did a photo, made a list, and... well, you know some women collect SHOES? I USED TO collect shoes when I wore heels daily =] I don't collect shoes any longer, I wear sensible leather loafers with a black suit to work now LOL What I collect now is vape gear

I'll get a MVP2, but in a bit, I still have 5 packages coming from across the pond. Maybe a Christmas present for myself... I'll get it stateside and just get it quicker for a few dollars more =]

Next stop ISC San Fran!

Destination - United States of America

The item (LK0360624xxHK) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 7-Oct-2013.

Woohoo!!

That means it got bailed out and is headed home to Daddy!

My apologizes if I sound excited, it's just been soo long..

 

[lisancentraltx]

Ha! My toppers & Magneto from Fasttech are out for delivery as well =] My shortie drips tips say DELIVERED =] Okay, I'll be back, gotta check the mail

 

[tA71ana]

My guess is that the oldest packages at HKTZ were at the bottom of the pile and they are getting to those now
Once they are actually past HKTZ they move pretty fast...hang in there

OK....the bunny drip tips are pretty cute.
I already have sufficiently enough drip tips that I may not be able to use them all, lol

 

[Capt.shay]

Woohoo!!

I just checked mine on hkp and it had the same update:

If I could multi-like a post for you I would.

I would give you a great big hug but well....we are men. Let's just electronically turn to each other, open our arms wide, smile, and then drop our arms to the side and the look away momentarily uncomfortable.

I bet your package was one that FT recalled, and has sent back out. EDIT: On second thoughts, maybe not as I think they give you a new tracking number if they do that.

 

[lisancentraltx]

Nah, nuthin in da box :'( It'll be around 3-4PM before they hit my apartment complex. About the same time that I''ll be picking up my Shih Tzu from the vet's office.

so so so glad for you.
Mine is still stuck but you give me hope.
Maybe those IL packages were together?
