Ok, so the last item to ship arrived first...

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10005183/1505000-ithaka-adjustable-rebuildable-atomizer-4-0ml

Upon receipt yesterday I took it all apart and cleaned all parts in a hot dish soap solution + toothbrush. Since I do not have the ready wire yet I used the stock coils. I did find a few defects in the machining, the air hole was not machined all the way out so there was a strip of metal I had to push out with a toothpick, also a bit of flare on one of the threads. As it is a clone I guess it is to be expected and was easily rectified. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble everything and get it to read a stable 1.6ohm on my evic. At 10w on stock coil the flavor and vapor production beats the protank 1 I was using before so I'm satisfied. Can't wait to get the rest of my stuff to build my own coil/wicks and also the KFL clone still en route to compare.

Edit: I should mention I ordered this 11/22 and was restocking until 12/14. At the time of order this item was listed ships in 5 business days.

Have any of you used these? https://www.fasttech.com/p/1521201
I just got a diver and wondered if they would work in that?
Yes, I have been reworking/coiling everything i have with them lol. I just ordered more too. These wires are made well. I have some I ordered elsewhere, and I have had those (not FT's) break where the resistance wire/non resistance wire meet. So far with FT's I have had no issues, no funny taste, and they are pretty consistent with resistance value.

I have no experience with the diver. I've read they are harder to build because of their size, but I think these wires would work well for it IMO

edit: gully beat me to it lol

Ordered 4x Kanger PT2's on 12/20......processed though LA, CA on 1/03........sooooooo.......how long will it take to get to PHX, AZ and drop kicked up to north central Arizona? The clock is ticking.....

I'm not a gambling kind of person, but a "betting pool" would sure break up the lull in postal activity :ohmy:

Figure I have 50/50 odds the package is diverted to Washington, but New York wouldn't surprise me. LA gives my shipments the "scenic" route, minus the postcards sent home. I think my ProVari got to visit with the Antarctic penguins after it left LA, I will never know, but it might explain the penguin smell when it finally got to me.:confused:

Has anyone filed a dispute with Fasttech through Paypal before? Here's my situation.

November 17 - Placed order for 1 iTaste VV3 battery and an extra USB charger
November 20 - Order shipped
Today - Still not received, tracking shows no info at all.

I sent a ticket to inquire about the status of my package about a month ago. They eventually told me that the package was rejected and being sent back to them, which is fine, I'll just learn not to order batteries from FT again (this is the second time I tried to place this exact order and the first package was sent back and they refunded me my money). But this was a month ago and the package still has not been returned to them. They say they will refund me my money once they get the package. At this rate, I'm not sure the package will ever be returned to them, it's floating around in the abyss of mail return oblivion. The first time, the whole process took a little over a month but I did get my money back. Right now, it's getting close to almost 2 months and I'm getting irritated. I suppose I will wait a little longer as I would really rather not dispute with them but I am not going to let them keep my money if I don't get my package. I assume if I file this dispute, I probably won't be able to order from them in the future?

I thought FT had a policy of refunding after 8 weeks, package found or not. I would go ahead and file a dispute with PP because there are time limits. There's a good chance it won't go very far since PP requires the package to be found. What it might do is esculate your problem with FT. I haven't heard anything about a dispute stopping FT from selling to the same customer again. I also haven't heard of FT not refunding money when it's due.

For the men on this site I would highly recommend this $6.95 Gillette Fusion Power Replacement 5-Blade Razor Cartridges (4-Piece Pack) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping . I have used them for over a year now and have no complaints. They last for several uses and are really afordable compared to the local Walmart.
My wife is one of those crazy coupon ladies, she comes home with boxes of these things, usually pennies on the dollar, but these are definitely alot cheaper than even going to wallyworld for..they usually run 12-20 bucks...not a bad find
Wow..holy smokes...6 pack at wallyworld is 23-30!!!!!

I have a beard, so I don't use razors (use electric beard trimmer), but if I did that is a good price. :)

:lol:

Jump back 10 pages or so and read a little that others have posted, this is a question that gets posted over and over. Look at 3 to 4 weeks. Some with ePacket have gotten in 2 weeks, but with SG look at 3 weeks minimum.

Track here until Lodged in Singapore
Track Shipment(s)

Then use

Thanks a bunch for the links. Kiiiinda wish I could go back in time and maybe not order from them. :p Oh well at least it's in Hong Kong now..I have high hopes! lol but I'm getting a bit discouraged and might just go spend some more money at a local shop. :p Must. Vape. Now.

I've used them for a couple of months now. They are true to the ohm rating and well made. The weld holds really well as opposed to others I have tried that 4 out of 5 would break when wrapped. I wrap them on a 2mm screw and get a 7 wrap coil. I order 4 or 5 with each order I place so at a hundred to the bundle, I probably have a couple thousand either in the stash or headed to it.

I had a package caught up in the shipping snafu,I waited exactly 8 weeks then opened a ticket and asked for it to be resent.They reshipped within 48hrs without further discussion,should be the same for a refund.
Same here. I had a recent refund from an order that went over 8 weeks. I did however had to call in Sufie. The CS agent I had an open ticket with didn't seem to think the 8 week policy applied to me. Sufie took care of it though.

I honestly don't know how Ft has done so well taking care of the issues with the way shipping has been. All this even before the holidays. I'm sure they're learning ways to hopefully avoid as much in the future.

Just order when you are not in a hurry, be patient, count the cash still in your pocket, smile.

That's surprising to me. I bought the Gilette sensor blades. https://www.fasttech.com/p/1051500 for $3.96 and the price is great but the razors are horrible. I figured I'd try them as they are way less than half of retail. Probably the worst blades I have ever put against my skin. I had a sister that used to use my razor for her legs and even that was a ton better than the sensor blades.
