Don't know if this is a record but I'd say they did well by me.
Ordered an iTaste SVD (s'posed to be "authentic") on 1-11-14, arrived here in the PNW about 20 minutes ago. 7 days start to finish.
Thing works out o' the box and for what I paid I s'pose if it continues to work for a few months.... all good (-:

WoW, that is FAST. :) 10 days is the fastest I ever got, and that has been a while. Been hitting around 3 weeks no matter which shipping option I use. My SVD I got from them (using right now) has been working great, no problems what so ever (knock wood).

So apparently I ordered the wrong fill port screws for the Tobeco KFL. The post on the screw is too thin. Sigh. Anyone have an idea where to get the stainless version for this clone? I talked to fasttech support and all they would tell me was that the ones they are shipping now are all stainless. I doubt the veracity of that but that wasn't my question.

I won the real thing on a contest in FB...very very nice...a telescoping one is definitely interesting, mine works flawlessly with a kick at 8 watts and pushing an AGA-T2...way cool

I kinda like the pinky fire button

My crappy cellphone does NOT do this rig justice!

I'm sure that 7 days was a complete bit of blind stoopid luck on my part. Placed the order just as they were filling up the next container bound for the US or some such.
After browsing around through this thread and seeing the various shipping times folks have had I was dumfounded when I saw the thing being out for delivery this morning (-:

Same thing happened to me. I ordered 4mm Length, M2-0.4 Threads from Amazon because someone posted that they would work. They were too thin. It was suggested for me to take the screws to a hardware store to try and match up. Fasttech is sending me some new screws for the one I bought from them but it will probably take a month to get them and I have a kayfun that I bought off Ebay, be nice to just have some extra screws on hand as spares.

Mine is coming, to add a little brother to my other two.:)

BTW, Olderthandirt, the SVDs FT sells are authentic, genuine, 100% Innokin products. If FT uses the word 'Authentic' in the description, then it is an authentic product. So no worries about yours. Enjoy!

I didn't use ANYTHING on any of my Kayfuns and didn't get ANY nasty tastes or smells. None. Nada. Niente. Klume.

I just opened the package, examined the contents so that I could tell all the parts were there, remembered what the myriad videos had said, filled the lovely things up from the top, put them onto my mvp and.....tada...drum rolls...sounds of trumpets...vaped happily. Great taste.

Fell in love immediately. Have stayed in love.

I'm a curmudgeonish little old lady. I smoked for nearly 45 years. I do not wash, boil, soak, smash, spray or stamp on new things. I use them first. Then, when they actually need cleaning, I clean them.

And I am not covered in oozing green pus or purple stink sap from it. :)

LOL! Guilty of this myself. :facepalm: Just washed out an iClear 30 I had sitting around, maybe that'll help!

The logo doesn't impress me but if they work as well as the Tobeco and at protank prices they will be are to resist.

Yeah, gotta find replacements for these screws. God only knows when fasttech will have them back in stock. :(

HAHAHAHAHA my China epacket has as near as I can tell been sitting in china for 10 days. :p I will never go this route again. Not being able to get pretty much any tracking on any site other than USPS (and you know how that is) SUCKS

I got a FT shipment in 8 days this last week, shipped via standard HK post. I must wave been lucky, but I prefer HK post when possible. A recent e-packet took ~11 days, a one time experiment. I have one with some knives/open blades, ordered it on Christmas coming via Sweden since that seems to be the only route for such items. It was in China for over a week before it left, I'm guessing I'll see it in a week or so.

A lot of "us" would like those screws, I got my KFL from VB and since it's Tobeco, the screws are rusting. :(

I don't have time to read through all of this thread. Like many ppl I tried to order from fasttech during nov, which apparently was battery fiasco season. Anyway, I buy everything in the US now.

My question is: DOES FASTTECH STILL SUCK??

If I can get an order in 3 or 4 weeks, what shipping option should I choose. I'm in Los Angeles, CA

Any help would be appreciated. You can't beat their deals with a stick... unfortunately.. :(

    Using the Hong Kong air mail, I got my last order in 7 days, fastest I've ever got a order, and saw someone saying the same time with them too. Don't know if got lucky, but placed another order the same day, so will see if it was a fluke for me.

    For some, if not a lot, of us, FT has never 'sucked'.

    I have a pretty enormous collection of good stuff now, all from FT, thanks to their great prices and the fact that I know I'm ordering from the other side of the world, and that delivery will take a certain amount of time.

    Do your market research, have reasonable expectations, and especially, decide whether you want something quickly or if you want the best price. If you want it within a week, order locally. If you are prepared to order and wait a few weeks, you'll get some good stuff for very little.

    The choice is up to you.

    Oh, and FT, like all of East Asia and most of South East Asia, is closing down for New Year celebrations. So wait until mid-February now.
