If they could make that itaste vv 3,0 at 1300 mah they would sell a bunch. Course the way they do it you have to buy 2 and are probably selling a bunch more. I have my 2 that's it.
They do have these which look sorta like a ZMAX clone

$27.59 V9 1500mAh Variable Voltage/Wattage Mod / E-Cigarette Battery Compartment - black / 0.75" LCD display at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Spend $5.00 more and go with a proven winner.

No question, hands down on this one as far as I'm concerned.

Edit, they are shipping the V3 now not the V2 pictured . The V3 is VV and VW but they are on
back order right now. Can be gotten state side for a little more.

I got one from vaping Me for $35 with free shipping. Also have one from FT ($24).

If they could make that itaste vv 3,0 at 1300 mah they would sell a bunch. Course the way they do it you have to buy 2 and are probably selling a bunch more. I have my 2 that's it.

So true, 1300mah would be great, but I'm like you just have 2 of the 800mah and they work great.

As tall as the eight hundred is, a 1300 stick would be a baton.

They do make a 2600 mah:

I have decided while upgrading their system USPS has either chosen to or been blocked from Customs. Seems just about no one is getting SF information any more. everything just says passed through sort facility(HK) or arrives.:glare:
After trying USPS and 17Track, I located and ran a package through HKPost own sight and it is the only one that Reflects package has left country> as of oct.17th. Hmmmm:glare:

I've floated a theory here before about the USPS push to Priority Mail. Scanning packages is a vital piece of moving mail quickly, so it's doubtful that the USPS has stopped scanning. But, uploading that information to the tracking system could be easily suppressed. I suspect that the USPS wants to take away the freebies so businesses will choose Priority Mail more often.

The examples you and others have mentioned about packages just showing up in your local sort facility reinforce my belief that it a conscious effort by the USPS to minimize the benefits to the cheap shipping options.

It's no secret that the USPS is hurting these days. They will need to do something. I have a lot of friends that work there. All of them have been affected by this (shorter hours, lay offs, transfers, etc..). I know that old fashioned letter sending is on its way out for the most part. The one thing that could keep the USPS afloat would be parcel post. I, for one, wouldn't mind to pay Priority Mail fees if this will help insure their future. We all will be affected if they go bust.

Agree with this 100% ... they NEED the extra cash from Priority.

It is one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution. So, it will be around in one form or another. But, there are people in Congress that are doing everything they can to make it hard for the USPS to thrive. FEDEX and UPS have some strong lobbying groups.

It's amazing to me that people are still recommending eGos and other PVs with internal batteries from FastTech. The past, what? 100 pages of this thread have been staggered recommendations and complaints about orders being bounced back.

Heads up, everyone. An eGo/iTaste/Spinner/etc IS a Lithium Ion battery. It stands a very good chance of being caught in customs and never making it to you. For the moment anything with an internal battery, or any kit that contains batteries, should be avoided at all costs. It's likely that you'll never get it.

I have 2 packages from Fasttech inbound. The first was an order for mostly needle tip bottles that I foolishly added 2 twist batteries to at the last minute. That was August 29th.
The second was for the needle tip bottles that I still needed and some attys for testing. That was October 6th.

The second order will be here tomorrow and the first order will probably get here Tuesday, and as far as I know is complete. :lol:
Crazy.

Then I must be an exception since this order was a 1300mAH eGo kit and 3 juices. Came out of their hands in less than a week.

I don't want to start an internet ...... contest but YOU need to read the last 100 pages. You will see that most fixed batteries are getting through. As far as I have read reported, a package containing a fixed battery has no more chance of getting kicked backed as a package without any batteries at all.

Yes to the slow boat option.

I still think shipped in a case or in a device they are legal, but it really doesn't matter what I think. Only what the HK postal inspector thinks.
