I've been wondering why they've held back. Honestly, I'm not overly impressed with my Origin. Wish ECF didn't have a no-clone policy on the Classys or I'd swap it for another Nemesis.

The button is really fiddly. Also, I don't like the atty pin adjustment. It seems no matter what I do I end up with a gap somewhere. Finally, I was really expecting it to be shorter than the Nemesis, but it's a good 1/4" taller with the same battery.
I, and many others I am sure, wish the ECF policy could be different as well. They could, perhaps, have a dedicated section of the classy forums for clones (as other forums do). I understand the principle behind the policy, but it is kind of like denying the inevitable as "clones" are gaining more and more momentum.

Anyone notice with each round of NEW Products it seems like prices are slowly and ever so slightly creeping up?

Just little hints like most new Drip Tips exceeding $3 while 6 months ago most were near or under $2.

mods were popular in the $15 range and now many (new releases) are over $20.

Guess I'm kind of glad I'm about shopped out and have more than I can justify.

ETA: Looks like my last order reached its Lodging in Singapore.

SIX Days to get to customs service in another country.(Is that correct?) Still has to go through inspection and then wait for a Ride to show up, right?

Sorry FT but you did me better even with all of HKP's issues.

My first big let down from fasttech.....

After a long wait for a Tobeco Kayfun Lite clone, I finally received it in the mail today. YAY!

It's completely useless. The airflow control screw is threaded in the all the way and will not back out of the atomizer base. It just spins freely inside.

I haven't finished fiddling with it yet, but I think this one will be going back for a replacement. That Kayfun clone sure is going to be a lot of fun in 6 weeks or so!

My last FastTech order took 24 days. 10 days in Hong Kong, 5 days in Singapore, 6 days in Customs at LA, then 2 days in transit to me. Ordered December 6, received December 30. No batteries, no e-liquid. Just (4) USB Passthroughs, and (2) 4-port USB/AC adapters.

X6X8 my friend placed an order with them around the same time and it still hasn't hit his doorstep yet. Thats still not bad though for shipping coming from another country, I had orders come from other companies and it took almost 3 months to get to my doorstep. I am getting ready to place my first order with them, a Kayfun v3.1 and some mod(just cant decide), plus other odds and ends.

3 months would stress me a little too much, I think. I've placed several orders with both FastTech and E-Liquid-Store, and all but one fell into a 20-30 day delivery time. The one that took so long was my 4th e-liquid order from eliquidstore. That was during the strict custom inspections in August through December and after two months of my order stuck in customs at Hong Kong, eliquidstore refunded my money. They are an honorable company and I will do business with them again. My only gripe was with the hold up in customs.

It did stress me out, quite a bit..but I thought about the price difference and it kinda just made sense after a while. I have a couple of friends that told me about avoiding ordering during their strict customs during those times or during holidays. Customs is getting bad though, they search through everything and then either make you wait forever or decide that you can't have it because it does fit into their scheme of things. (Only had that happen once, and I will never let that happen again) and never got refunded the money. But that was through Ebay, a couple years ago.

When listing shipping times, it would be helpful if posters specify *how* it was shipped (and if it included batteries and/or liquids).

As I said a day or two ago, I've had three ePacket packages make it to the US with only a day delay due to overseas customs (shipped Dec. 27th, 28th, and 29th). The first one made it here (rural South Carolina) today, the other two should be here within another day or two.

Also had a package containing several ego batteries that went via normal Singapore post. Ordered Dec. 24th and, as of today, is on its way to the US. But another package (also containing several egos) was shipped Dec. 23rd and is still in Singapore.
