The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[randomhousegir]

First order with fasttech. Having experience in the shipping field has me already prepared that it could take a month...but government shipping is always slow plus its coming from china....not worried I will just patiently wait

all my DIY mixes are 12mg nic in a 50/50 pg/vg solution. You can use any amount of nic to your preference though. Happy vaping!

I've got 3 of these,

$5.32 V5 RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 4-airhole at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Very happy with them,the downside is the allen screws.

I wonder what thread pitch those allen screws are...and if a trip to the "hardware" section for some stainless Philips head screws would be in order

I must say after almost 1800.00 of purchases at FT I am about to start looking elsewhere. The shipping problems and length of time to wait are just getting old. I have had very good service up until the last 2 months so I have just about everthing I need for the next several years. My last order was refunded after 1 month as it was returned to ft by HK post. As far as cust svc goes with the language barrier they are really very good. I have 3 orders in the wind and will see what happens next.

Just my good fortune only started vaping in October with my 1st order from FT in November read so much with regards to them going downhill had a some issues myself, then again anyone ordered and recieved anything from FocaleCig? I have some orders with them lets see, buying vape gear from the dragon is very edgy and slow. 4 different far eastern retailers i have ordered from only 2 delivered (FT) and one of those was no good and not as advertised. Forget about me buying any Batts or Juice! Heres to 2014 and less stress i don't mind the wait but smoking was way less stress.

So, how about some nice Domestic postal service whining?

I work from home and my office looks right out over my driveway at my mailbox. On Saturday tracking on one of my FT packages updated to "Out For Delivery". Mail time came around and I watched my mailman drive right by my house without stopping. An hour later tracking updated to "Notice Left".

Today I called the post office to check to make sure the package was going to be there. Guy I talked to (thick Indian accent, so easily identifiable since I know most of the staff.) told me that they don't send packages out for a second delivery. I asked him to check to make sure it was there, but he declined, saying he was sure it was. I believed him. Big mistake.

Drove up there to get it and of course it had been sent out for delivery again. Indian guy was at the front desk, I complained LOUDLY about him to his supervisor, walked right up to him and said, "Thank you VERY much for wasting my time. Next time someone asks you to check for a package just DO IT."

I didn't cuss, I didn't threaten, and I didn't lay hands on anyone... Though god knows I wanted to.

STILL no updates or delivery from the wonderful USPS --- I think I really dislike them NOW!

I swapped mine out for Philips heads screws. My buddy bought a box of 100. if you search you can find the right screw for that atomizer.

My order from fast tech came in today.

I placed the order on the 1st, supposed to be shipped by the 15 or 16th because of the items that needs to be restocked, but it was shipped to SG by dec 7th (way early than listed) and SG processed and shipped it on the 12th, then i got the tracking number, i kept on tracking it on both SGP / Canada post website and there was never an update, not even once until it was delivered.

Overall it was 29 days wait from the day it was ordered

It was 23 days wait from the time it was shipped by FT

It was 18 days wait from SGP to my mailbox

It wasnt really that bad for me, I just wanted it to come earlier so I can tinker with it during xmas break.

Will try the epacket my next order to see which is faster.

And an update to my infuriating USPS situation. The postman just delivered the package... And I didn't have to sign for it. The 'Notice Left' was complete BS.

Unreal, yet they want another raise!!!!!!!

Really makes you wonder how many of these packages that "Take forever to get from China to us" are really spending days or weeks sitting in a USPS facility waiting to be logged in.

I'm right there with you on this one. I'm tired of the long waits but for me it's the slow customer responses and lack of problem resolution. It's just not worth it for me anymore, too many negatives. I can live with the slow shipping but when mistakes are made by Fasttech, it's impossible to get them properly corrected. I'm done with them,,, for now anyway.. lol

@Scope / whoever else ordered one.

Received the VB russian clone today, took right about 30 days, and of course had to chase the mailman down the street due to conveniently "not noticing it in the truck".

The frost finish could be better and the machining on a few parts isnt the greatest but it goes to together properly and vapes like a beast, so all in all, well worth the $22.

*EDIT* To be clear to others this is the "Tobecco" clone thats flooding the market recently.

 

[BuddJohnson]

product and shipping is well worth the wait!

I was considering using that $2 E-packet upgrade. keep us posted on the delivery date if you can.

Awesome, thanks for the update. Probably didn't need this one as I already have a 3.1 and KFL+ clone, but hey, one more Kayfun is never a bad thing.

Last update on mine is a sort facility in NYC on the 24th, should hopefully come soon.

Both of ours were sitting in the same customs warehouse on the 24th, the real question is how mine made it to Omaha NE as of today, but your hasn't made it to Jersey yet???

FWIW it went straight from NYC to out for delivery here, with no more updates.

well not an FT order but thought I would share..
I ordered 115 bauway ce4's from alibaba for 130 (after shipping) I paid on Monday 12-23 on Tuesday I got email saying they would be packed and shipped..so today I go to get the mail and theres a sorry we missed you tag on the front door ugh...says they tried to deliver at 5am....5am who the heck delivers a need to sign for pkg at 5am......worse part is I got home at 4am and left for my 2nd job at 445am.

anyway 7 days from payment to delivery (counting weekend and xmas) guess not everything from china takes 2 months..

 

[aikanae1]

I thought most orders from alibaba / group buys were shipped DHL?

Depends on shipping method, there are lots faster shipping if you pay for it.

it is dhl....but I bargained with the guy .. told him I wasn't going to pay more then 1.15 a piece for them after shipping..so 30 for shipping just made him lower his price

I am waiting on my current order to get here. If I like the Kayfun Lite I ordered I will be redoing my next order for 2 more of those and skipping the backup drippers I have in the cart now.

You're not going to find those in a hardware store, they're way too small. Most of the RDA's use M2x.04 screws, although I'm not sure about the Trident. If you don't want a box of 100, you can get packs of 10 from Kidney Puncher, found in the "Stuff for Modders" section. I'd get the ones with the 3.2mm head. +1 vote for FT to carry them.
