The ePacket (to the US) seems to be working the best *as long as* you don't have liquid or batteries in the package. I tried it with multiple packages and the three that contained ego batteries were switched to Sweden Post. I received an email from fasttech explaining that this was because ePacket does not allow liquids or batteries (even included batteries like egos) and so they switched it on me. (Why they didn't switch it to the normal USPS delivery is beyond me.)

Yeah, I stopped ordering anything with liquid or batteries (even built-in) when Batterygate first started. I try to get that stuff from 101, RTD, Illumination Supply, etc.
I just got $32.53 Chi You Mechanical Mod - stainless steel / silver at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping today and it is very nice. The only thing I had to do was file down some burrs on the contact for the bottom button. They slotted that contact but didn't clean the slot and I was afraid the burrs would hurt the battery.
While we're talking Chi-Yous, has anyone gotten this one: $27.00 Chi You Mechanical Mod - silver-plated contacts / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I just got it ^
I'll fiddle with it at work but right now the origin is way to legit to put down.

I figure I should have this stuff by my birthday on March 2nd.
EDIT: BTW, that Aqua clone was posted by Fasttech today. This version includes the hybrid pin and the correct red o-rings as the original! Had to have it. I LOVE the idea of hybrids!

My chi you is finally in L.A. I didn't go for the $27 one. I have heard that it wasn't worth it
This post was found in an ancient ruin, possibly left by aliens.

That's what I just ordered today. Via epacket/China Post. ;-) I already got the Origin, so I figured I "needed" this to go with.
FYI: The origin is nice - it's very thin and lightweight. The switch is nice AFTER YOU REPLACE THE SPRING WITH AN ACTUAL SPRING. The twisted piece of 28g kanthal "spring" that it ships with sucks (no it's not really 28g kanthal, but it might as well be). Other than that, so far me likes.
Concerning Chi yous,
this is the one I got back in October/November: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1438500 . I don't use it as much as I could - since I've discoverd that I prefer non-mechs like the VTR, but that isn't the Chi You's fault. It is a lovely little guy, and very nicely made.

That's the one I ordered back in Oct. FYI, mine came with silver plated contacts.
Glad you like your stuff! Can I ask for some more specifics as to why you like the Origin better? Is it aesthetics, or is there some inherent flaw in the Nemesis that I do not see. I have one and I think it's a great mod. One thing I know I don't like about the Origin is the floating 510 pin. I like threaded adjustment myself. But that is just my opinion and everyone will not agree. I do like the look of it. How does it compare to the Nemesis and the Chi You for size? Because that is my biggest complaint about the Nemesis, I have very large hands and it is a little small to me. I actually prefer the size of the Chi so far. I may have to give the Origin a try.
Origin is TINY. It's only 21mm. The metal is thin, but it has to be. The threading is nice, but, as I stated before, the spring that came in mine was GARBAGE. I couldn't stand it up unlocked without it firing. Couldn't really expand the spring either, since the ends were just loose. Replaced mine with an old Sigelei 19 switch spring and now it's balls.
How are you liking the Origin button lock? The button's the main reason why I can't stand the Origin. Impossible to lock without unscrewing the button and I can't stand it up if it's unlocked because it's so wobbly.
Something tells me you have more toys than experience.
If your origin or any other Mechanical was Schooling YOUR Nemesis, either it is defective or you did not have something set up right.
Even my Crappiest mod, a Sigelei bottom fire Telescope, Hits like a sledgehammer with the right Tank setup. Took about 10 minutes to get the conductivity up to acceptable levels.
On a Bright note: My Dec.26th Shipment hit the West coast today. Might get here be weeks end.
I know this is the wrong place, but, it feeeels like the right place.

Ok me darlins My Chi You stainless steel clone of the Kayfun lite 3.1 with airflow control stainless steel clone came in. I gotta say it I am loving both. The kayfun took me a couple of 4 tries to get the cotton wick right but now it is vaping like a dream. Be aware that not all drip tips fit in it. Seems like the hole is a bit smallish. Only about half of mine fit. A good rule of thumb seems to be if it will fit a boge carto it will fit on this Kayfun clone.
Really really liking this setup and the pressure needed to push the button on the Chi You is light enough there is no pain for me. WOOOHOOOOOO!

It will take many days to show up in the system and if they sent it via Sweden Post, youre unfortunately likely looking at about a month before you see your goods, but they will show up about the time you have lost all hope.

I'm just guessing, but giving pep talks is not your strong suit. LOL
Here try this tracking it is what I used for china post. https://www.aftership.com/courier/
When did this order get shipped anyway? I see it is going by DHL Germany which seems rather odd to get to Tucson.
