Can someone please explain how to track ePackt stuff? My order

Origin Post is Preparing Shipment

January 10, 2014 , 11:57 am Processed Through Sort Facility SHENZHEN EMS, CHINA

January 9, 2014 , 3:48 pm Acceptance CHINA

Is this thing sitting in Shenzhen or has it shipped out?


If I put the tracking number into Quantium or 17track I get nothing


I was left in "origin post is preparing shipment" for three days, then it got processed through Jamaica NY and dispatched immediately. If it doesn't arrive today, I'm expecting to see it tomorrow. During those three days, I had no clue what was actually happening.

CP epacket tracking is null once it leaves China. I must admit, shipping is a hair faster than SP. Now, when I checked my USPS tracking, off to the right, there is, in small letters, a link for email notification. I did that, and the tracking seemed to kick into gear within a day or two...

Is it just me or everybody has these issues with this Kayfun ES 3.1 Clone?
1.The Center Pin is NOT exactly in the center and it shorts to the ground sometimes. Mine reads 15 Ohm with no coil and wick. I had to file the head of the positive bottom screw (center pin) to prevent it from touching (shorting) to the side of the 510 thread connector. Because it has to be exactly in the center, but it is NOT in my case.
2.The Center Pin screw come all the way out, when you unscrew it – it should not do that.
3.This Clone does NOT have a Bottom Filling Screw so you couldn’t fill it up from the bottom.
4.Side Filling Screw? It is NOT Fillips, NOT Flat, NOT Hex, NOT Torx… It is a round hole screw head. Although, I was able to jam a small Torx and unscrew it, it appeared that there is another small weird screw behind it or I broke the screw and it is the other half of it. In any case, I could not fill it from the side. I had one option left only: Fill it up from the Top. The worst way of filling Kayfun because when you screw in the top back into the Atty – it will create a pressure forcing the tank to leak. And it did leak out through the locked side filling screw. I’m thinking of drilling the base and installing the Bottom Filling Screw myself. Unlike the EHPro Kayfun 3.1 Clone that has the Bottom Filling Screw, the Side Filling Screw, not Issues with shorting center pin, it also does not come with the Drip Tip Adopter, and therefore you will not be able to use a standard Drip Tip. This. It was shipped in a plain plastic bag – no box, no spare parts, no tools, no wicks or wire.

The fill hole one mine is a one way valve. It needs a needlepoint bottle to fill it. It doesn't have a bottom filling screw because it is really a clone of the Russian which has the side filling hole.

The drip tip adapter does not come with the 3.1 as standard you can get it in the spares kit for a few dollars along with a steel tank to replace the Pyrex one.

Can you link to the spare parts kit please?

It's definitely some kind of oil or residue that's the culprit. Widely reported with the FT Kayfuns.

Yeah but a good liquid soap and a small stiff bristles brush will take care of the issue along with a hot water rinse. I think some people are confusing metallic taste with machine oil. Folks, machine oil comes off. If you are getting a metallic taste, that is a different animal.

i have a kayfun 3.1 es clone on the way it shipped yesterday.
asfaik
1.if the center pin is not in the center you will get a replacement for it!
2.Center Pin screw will come all the way out,original kayfun center pin screw is used to attach the juice catch cup to the atomizer base.
3.original 3.1 ES does not have a bottom fill screw,it has to filled the classic way or from the fill port using a specific gauge plastic tip.
4.side fill port has a ball type mechanism,i cant explain it.
if you are filling it the from the top(classic way) see this video
and follow the procedure as its shown.
for the drip tip adapter buy this item and you are good to go.
and regarding drilling it not at all needed for fill hole and i have not seen a Bottom Filling Screw for EHPro Kayfun 3.1 Clone.
if you are new to vaping and bought this atomizer you will definitely not be happy with this as it for experienced people.

as per the reviews and discussions i have seen
it needs a M3 grub screw for the air flow control to work properly.

It did cross my mind that it might be a Filling Valve... I took a syringe with hypodermic needle (flat end) and could not fill it up.

If my order is coming to sc where will it come into the states at.

Los Angeles usually. Sometimes New York. I haven't had one go through Chicago yet.

Just wondering cause everything I've read said LA was fast and Chicago was like waiting on Christmas.

The in-transit time varies a lot.

I've had my shipment arrive in LA and see it linger there for a week. On the flip-side, I've seen it arrive and go out to Denver within 24-hours.

In all cases my shipments consisted of liquids.

I've also seen them arrive in Denver and either languish there or get sent out to my P.O. the same day.

It's a crap shoot to say the least. I'm now of the mind to allow three or four weeks after making the order before seriously tracking it.

Mine has batteries is what I'm worried about. Heard a lot of bad about batteries.

Yeah, lots of postal systems seem to be shunning them. I order all of my batteries from stateside sources so I can't give you any advice on them. Liquids, however, I order from FT ... haven't been able to find a cheaper source.

Ordered on 12/31 with a "ships in 6 business days", shipped via HKP, received it today.
Kayfun Lite Styled Rebuildable Atomizer Kit (4.5mL) 1494700

Not too bad on the shipping. The device is pretty nice, the screws are pretty crappy. Machining is good, not great. Threads are nice and smooth, parts were clean, but still had some oil residue. Haven't built it yet, have it soaking in warm water and dish detergent.

So other than the screws, I'm very happy with it.

It didn't come with extra screws and o-rings like my hcigar unit did and the machining is not as precise, but again, overall I'm very happy with it.
