Well If you use "Speedpost Global Express " which i did on the order I just received. It shipped 1/2/14 and was delivered yesterday 1/7/14. It seems to fly through customs!

It was a bit costly for one or two items, but if you gang your orders up with what you save its not that bad.

They did the same with my nemy clone issue. Actually gave me a couple choices and I said just put it with my next order.

Just wish I would not have chosen sing post with this last order and chose hong kong.

Even on the issue of SGP vs HKP, it is very individual. Here to the Middle East, SGP is the best, fastest, surest way. I get my packages in 12-16 days from time of shipping, usually, unless my Customs decides to take an interest...so I order and forget about it. No use fussing, stressing and pacing.

If the worst thing to happen in our lives is a delayed parcel, we are indeed happy people.

It was just an Igo W and L. Wanted to see if I was a dripper type man or not. Think it was all less than 15 bucks. A week after I saw no movement I just bought a W from CA.

I don't think I am the dripper type. To me.. I see no difference in quality than I do from my other delivery device. PT2, some clone top coils and clone bottom coils. All basically are 2.0-2.4 semi micro coils with cotton yarn in it (7/6 wraps). The main difference is air intake which is different on every device and/or atty.

The thing I do like about the dripper is I drip so much in and when it is done it is done. Helps me not to chain vape.

Ohh please don't take it as a complaint. I was well aware of the issues that could be. My luck finally ran out. I was used to 6 day shipments using HKP from FT. So after many orders with even a 5 day delivery... just a little humorous that a month later they are still putzing around with it in Hong Kong.

CONFIRMED PICK UP REQUEST 09/Dec/2013 15:03:40 HONG KONG
PICK UP ARRIVED AT ORIGIN HUB 13/Dec/2013 21:03:52 HONG KONG
ITEM PROCESSING AT ORIGIN HUB 04/Jan/2014 10:57:05 HONG KONG
ITEM DESPATCHED TO TRANSSHIPMENT HUB 04/Jan/2014 12:54:42 HONG KONG

Or I could always go to my local Vape Shop... we have one, just one.. Next purchase I will have to mortgage my house and make my kids put a lemonade stand to pay for the gear from there.

I've already posted on the pictures of your setup but as this is all fasttech I'll post it here too...

great vapemail week!
yesterday I received the AIOS clone but no chi and today my chi clone arrived!

coiled with microcoil and cotton at .8 ohms working really great but flavor is a bit less than the immortalizer. It has a cool vape but for my fruit menthol is a welcomed thing

On drip mode is the same size as my nemesis/immortalizer combo at 18500 setup

on tank mode it is just a driptip larger

chi/AIOS on tank at 350 is about the same size as the nem/imm at 500

the etching on the AIOS is not that great (edit: it was just dirty now it's great) but still not that aligned, on the chi it is really great engraving

No offense mate, but I always thought Sigelei was a clone maker. That looks awful similar to the evic.

Don't get me wrong, I buy clones. Many clones perform better than the original.. that debate can run for eons.

Sigelei is a clone maker. That's what they do in life.

As has been said, and it's worth repeating: on FT, if it says 'authentic' then it is. The Innokins are authentic, the Kangertech stuff, if labelled as authentic, are. The clones are often termed '-style', and they are frequently by Tobeco or HCigar. If you read the discussions of a product on the FT forums, there are posters who can identify the clone maker very quickly, since not all clones were created equal.

FT is also really good about warranties. I had a problem with part of a mech mod, and they replaced it immediately, just on the strength of the photos I sent showing the problem.

Maybe they are a "clone" maker. I don't have a problem with clones. It's my fault... shouldn't have ever used the word "clone". What I am strictly talking about is counterfeits. A Clone advertises as a clone, its clear that it is not the genuine product. What I'm talking about is someone (who knows who) is making a product and not selling it as a "clone" but the GENUINE product. As I said in my first post on this matter, the listing DID say "AUTHENTIC Sigelei Legend" then when reading in the discussions section not 1 but 2 people said it is NOT authentic because it was missing a logo under the firing button, and the fact that it was missing some accessories that are supposed to come with it (even without the kit, which cost more). At any rate, It's a moot point now because I sure as hell am not going to pay more money to have it sent all the way from China, when I can get it from here in the US for less money.

Apparently all these Aqua clones have brass in the atomizer chambers. This sucks

Which chi you clone is that? It looks pretty sick, even the numbers are "squared" not "rounded".

My kfl left Los Angeles yesterday but tracking wasn't updated until today. Looks like it will be here by the end of the week. Maybe... ordered on 12/23/2013

sent from my Limited Edition Monkey Island™ Talking Head Voodoo Doll named Murray®

Mine doesn't.

Mine either. What's with this scare about brass in the chambers?

It's the latest freakout. In the time I've been forum stalking I've seen hysteria over battery venting, fiberglass, brass has come up again and again, steel mesh fibers, chemicals in juice (multiple times), etc, etc, etc... There'll always be people freaking out over every little thing.

It's like the whole BPA thing. We've been using plastics to store food for what? 60 years? Have you ever heard of anyone dying because of BPAs? But now all plastics have to be BPA free. Meh.

 

[KurrptSenate]

they changed the description on their website

apparently its the posts and the screws. I believe they are silver plated so you might not notice yet

Ah just one of those types of things huh? Ok then I'll just ignore it lol!

We all are just going to die in this toxic mess. So they will regulate our breathing because well.. it release carbon dioxide which is hazardous. Next up is regulating the grill.

Ummm... No. They changed the description to say that some minor parts may be NON STAINLESS steel, and that the atty connection pin is silver-plated brass.

I can state categorically that the posts and screws are NOT chromed brass. Please try to verify things before you state them as facts. Spreading misinformation helps no one.

 

[KurrptSenate]

You can trivialize the effects or amount of lead present. That's completely your call

But to say it's not there when they clearly changed the description of the item on the website is another thing entirely. If this doesn't affect your decision to use a product then that is completely your call. I won't tell you do other wise.

Believing you got a product that 100% SS and it not be is just not fair to the consumer and really shouldn't be tolerated. If you were under no such assumption then it shouldn't bother you either way.

If the claims were illegitimate I don't they would have changed their description.

That I can actually understand because it's not just affecting you. If I want to vape out of an atty that contained some brass then that's fine, but if there was evidence that second hand vapor from attys that contained brass was harmful to others then it would be a problem.

It's the difference between making choices for yourself and protecting everyone else from the consequences of your actions.

(And just to clarify, there's no evidence that second-hand vapor does anything to anyone, so don't grab on to that and run with it.)

This is the exact description:
Material: stainless steel (minor parts may be made in non-SS) + plated brass (510 connection contact)

No where does that say that the wire contacts and screws are brass.

Additionally, as I have repeated several times, I HAVE ONE AND CAN VERIFY THAT WHAT YOU'RE CLAIMING IS A COMPLETE FALSEHOOD. Do you own an Aqua with plated brass screws and posts?

 

[KurrptSenate]

I never claimed it as fact, only that the description has changed. Others have said it as fact so I was relaying information.

I had purchased an aqua and canceled the order until more facts are known about it. If you've tested these parts with swabs and confirmed that it is indeed lead-free, that's great
