Just received this mail this morning smh can't seem to get a break from fast tech... My sister & brother-in-law can order anything from fasttech and not have ANY problems, they usually get 8 day shipping I get 32 days for a SVD, registered mail, new tracking numbers, this just blows...
I have 2 other orders that they would only send registered, couldn't choose USPS method no matter if I used the computer or iPad 3 orders now $134
Oh well...
Dear ********
RE: New tracking number for order **********.
Thank you for your order placed at fasttech.
Because of the unstable processing of Hong Kong Post. We've swapped the US orders from Hong Kong Post to Singapore Post for a few days ago.
But we've noticed that there is two big problems with this service provided by Singapore Post. The main one is the tracking numbers in their system are all mixed up, they gave the tracking numbers which are already used to us. We've checked the tracking information of all orders we shipped during the past few days, there is at least 50% of the orders are shipped with the used tracking number which already shown delivered / Transporting on the tracking site.
You can read more details here:

We've got the package back and swapped it to Hong Kong Post USPS service. Here is the new tracking number:**********. Your new tracking link is:********************
Please be assured that your package is on its way to you now. If you have questions, please feel free to reply to this e-mail.
Thank you.

aw rats. The Ultrafire 18650s I ordered from fasttech arrived yesterday but they don't work in my vamo. So I go online and the consensus is they don't work in Vamos because they're protected. What do I do with them? In any case, I'll go to my B&M to get new ones now.
Anyone find the glass tanks that fit for these

eBay them or see if you can return them to FT for a store credit.

wow. Newer style of glass drip tips in today.

Ok, I just placed this order for six of these
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1450301
For a total of twelve batteries (plus 6 handy dandy carry cases), the cost was 28.44 with quantity discount. The shipping cost was 21.00. A total of 49.44 bucks shipped. That makes the cost of the batteries 4.12 bucks each. They are scheduled to ship tomorrow via speed post global express. This works out cheaper than anything I can find state side (IMR) WITHOUT a case, and I'd still pay shipping. Maybe I can get them faster state side, but this shipping option SAYS 4 to 9 days. Fair enough. I'm all in lol
I know some will flame me for the dreaded 'fire' named batteries, but honestly I have been using these for the past couple of months with no issues. They last great, IMR chemistry, and the six I have in rotation now all have charged to 4.1v consistently without getting even warm. I own aw, and efest too. I honestly can't tell any difference between them except for the physical dimensions. It may be a little premature to judge these, but I'm confident in them for now.
Anyway, part of me wanted to get them for my Daughter and her Hubby (he's a good guy, and takes care of my Baby). Four for her, four for him, and four MORE for me!
Well, I'm getting ready to find out. For now, it says "ready to ship". I will post updates as I get them

I got 3 of these super cheapo 14500 (AA sized) flashlights (not from FT) for $3.60
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NAE3YM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (the ones from FT were like 3x as much! https://www.fasttech.com/product/1174500)
And some el-cheapo Li Ions from FT
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1045203
I can throw a ultra bright beam in close, then pull the focusing ring out...at 200 yards you can STILL see that far out!!!!
I have ordered 6 more and have ordered 4x set of these
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1052702
I gave one to my dad and he LOVES it!
They will run on a AA battery but the light isn't nearly as bright
Run time is approx 30-45 minutes...yeah it pulls that much juice...and is THAT bright!
I have ordered 6 more

My email to fasttech
Dear Fasttech,
I am very upset with this morning's email I received. I have 3 items that may be in transit as I write this mail.
Order Numbers 1, 2, 3 they total over $100
Order 1this morning you reshipped?!? First shipping information 16-11 now 20-11?!?
Order 2 shipped on 4-11- 16 days shipping as of today's date
Order 3 shipped on 4-11- 16 days shipping as of today's date
I have spent $483.02 since August with your company to date. I have received long shipping times, 2 orders took 32 days to ship to my home, many orders re-routed, no USPS shipping method allowed, had to send mail registered no choice!
This is NOT good business!
My family also shops at your website and they have ordered many times, they spend lots of $$$$ with you and they get most their items USPS NOT REGISTERED in 8 days!
I ordered yet again because I thought I would give your company another chance... This morning I received an email informing me yet again you changed my shipping method and now I have to wait until... Well, who knows when I'll get this order?!?
I know my $483.02 isn't much to your company, but to me it is very hard to save my very hard earned money to make these orders. I feel like I've been treated very badly.
Thought you should know how I feel... I will be thinking longer and looking for an American company first next time before I order again...
I will be on the lookout for a US company instead of fasttech. I'll buy less and get US shipping... Smh...

Holly, I honestly think they were trying to do the right thing and keep you informed. I don't think they could possibly imagine that it would upset you instead.
If they hadn't sent you the new tracking info, you would have been really worried at no sign of life from your package. As it is, at least you know that your package is on its way and you can track it as it wends its way to your house (or at least, try to track it given the non-updating of a lot of postal services...)
I do believe you will get it, and hopefully soon!!!
Edited to add: Here is the link to the sticky posted by Jasmine where she explains the whole issue: https://www.fasttech.com/forums/ord...tracking-problem-of-the-us-orders-shipped-via

Wow, I JUST noticed this (underlined). Obviously 'origin post' is a time warp portal in the future
. This really helps explain the shipping issues!edit: I think they are having trouble with their flux capacitor LOL

SODIAL(TM) 7w 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp - Amazon.com (the ones from FT were like 3x as much! https://www.fasttech.com/product/1174500)
To be fair, that's apples to oranges. The e-bay ones are 300 lumen and the ft ones are 600. If you think your 300 is bright
One thing I always wondered with those sorts of flashlights is how long the batteries hold a charge if the flashlight is not used. I would love a bright small flashlight like that for the car but figured with my luck I would forget to charge it and when I needed it...dead battery.
Well, over a week ago, I bought a mech mod. I checked a couple of days ago and the order still hadn't shipped. In the meantime, my Vamo died. So I contacted them trying to change the order. I never got a response, but I needed to get a new Vamo, so I reordered it in addition to my other order.
My last order arrived in under a week. Seems like FT is taking their merry old time these days.

I would think you could measure the diameter and length and go to a glass shop and have a few glass tubes cut and the edges polished fairly cheap. Lord knows I have had glass cur for other things and it never cost me much.
Ibtanked will make most any size if you have the dimensions.

Most glass shops consider this a 'specialty' item (glass tubing), and most wouldn't stock it. Even if the shop could get it, the time for fabrication,ordering,etc. would probably be cost prohibitive. It may still be worth asking though.
Regular, annealed flat glass is just like you said, cheap. I had precut 5" x7" pieces of single strength glass I would sell for 50 cent. I sold single strength cut to any size for $1.50 a square foot (2foot x 2foot square = $6.00). Of course I would buy glass in bulk (2000lb cases), and could sell it cheaper.
One may find tubing in a craft store, or more likely, an artisan that blows glass might have some. I don't know the diameter of the tank in question, but likely somewhere around 20 mm od. This tubing would be a little big for craft purposes, but again would't hurt to ask.
In seeing this, I have tried to source tubing online. Not much luck, but I will look more later. Cutting it and sanding it may not be as big an issue as finding the right size
