The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[Glen Snyder]

No, it didn't come boxed, just in bubblewrap. And no, I didn't lodge a complaint, because, to be perfectly honest, considering how little money I spent, it's not even the worth the hassle. I'm just not a complainer, by nature. If it was a higher priced item like VV batteries or a mod or whatnot, that would be a different story.

I would look at a report as more like feedback and not so much as a complaint. FT is carrying a lot of e-cig products today they weren't carrying a couple weeks or months ago. As responsive as they've been to their customers, perhaps a report might help them adjust a little better to their new products in the way they prep them for shipping. Just a thought

This is my first feedback post for FT, and I have mixed feelings about them. I placed two orders with them, which were small purchases, just to 'test the waters', so to speak.

Both of my orders came in the mail exactly 10 days after I placed them, so no complaints there. My first order consisted of this:

$3.60 Hangsen E-liquid for Electronic Cigarettes (30ml) - coffee flavor / 16mg/ml nicotine at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
$8.08 CE4 1.6mL Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer (6-Pack) 6-pack - assorted colors at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The e-liquid (Hangsen coffee) is quite good, and I'm happy with the quality overall. What I wasn't happy about, was that the cap on my bottle hadn't been tightened down firmly enough, and some of the e-liquid had leaked out and saturated not only the bubblewrap, but a part of the envelope my stuff came in, as well. So...I thought, Well, these things happen once in a while. As it turned out, 'these things happen' two out of three times, at least to me. My second order, which consisted of only two more bottles of the same e-liquid, had leaked all over everything as well. That was 2 out of 3 bottles, and at least 5mls of liquid, I'm guessing, had leaked out of one of them. I'm not a hard person to please, but is it really too much to ask that the lids on a bottle of e-liquid be tightened properly?

As for the clearomizers, I wasn't impressed. They give off decent vapor and don't leak, but I can't taste my e-liquid in them, at all. I've been vaping for 9 months, and this is the first time I've ran into this particular phenomenon, if you want to call it that. Can any 'veteran' vapers give me some insight on this? I'm guessing it's the type of wicking material used, maybe?

Anyway, I'm a "three strikes and you're out" kind of person, so they're on strike two, because of the e-liquids leaking thingy. I'm giving them one more try, and these will be what I buy next:

$14.06 T3 Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer (6-Pack) - w/ multi ropes at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Has anyone else used these?

AS said before, If you want top try a known good juice try Liqua. It comes with a seal around the cap and a box(Most of the time). I've ordered over 250ml in the past 2 months with zero issues. As for the ce4's, those like to leak as you may know. If it happens don't be surprised, that's just the nature of that clearo.

This going to so confuse people. A t3 is a bottom coil design that started with kanger and copied by many

Seems like you're setting them up to get three strikes and you to not really get anything out of the deal.
I don't know about those specific clearos but their clearos in general have not got the best reviews. And strikes because cheap liquid leaked? Yes leaking is a bad thing but it is liquid coming all the way from China and it's dirt cheap.

Instead of going for strike three to waste money on more clearos I'd save that for a mod. Something that will save you some real money, stand a good chance of working and a better chance of making the trip. Get yourself a stainless Vamo. Alone it's not a bad price at all, or the I2 charger kit is a great deal. And most of all it's probably going to work.
If you must go very low dollar get a rebuildable dripper like, https://www.fasttech.com/p/1400500 (I have not got my IGO-L clone yet, that's just an example not an endorsement).

I'm with yea. I reported a missing cap on a 510 Ego Atomizer which cost $1.88 but without the cap I can't use it as intended. They contacted their supplier and are sending replacements. This helps them so it can be corrected for future orders.

Go look at the picture of your envelope in your FastTech profile. Is the address on it yours or PA?
My money is on the address on the label is yours and problem is with USPS and not with FastTech.
If the label does happen to have the wrong address you may as well file a complaint now.

An international letter showing up in 3 days from ISC is wishful thinking, may happen, probably won't. USPS is definitely the bottleneck in FastTech's shipping.

If you didn't want to wait on an eVic you should've read around to see that there are places in the US that have them in FastTech's price range. I paid the same price plus shipping on mine and had it in 2 days from Texas. With FastTech's you had to wait a week before they even shipped.

Looks like the have the cool drip tip from the IGO-L clone as a stand alone offering now.

Myk yes everything on fasttech is correct yes I seen where valuevaper had them really for cheaper price but not until after I ordered from fasttech oh well live and learn I try to find the best deals in country and will ask the forum from now on about where to buy. I like this place and looks like I can save money and get valuable answers to questions from here thanks from vapors all over.

 

[Lilkcceleb]

Just got my package. Yeah baby!

 

[Striker911]

Well so much for the T4. When I woke up this morning the MVP was all wet and the T4 was empty. The issue with this one was the Evod head. It was just a little to tall and when I screwed the head down it put pressure on the lower seam. So the tank lifted at the bottom. Its to bad but looks like the good old evod will be put back in service.

It's not the first time USPS (or other shippers) send something way out of its way. In one of these threads I think someone had their FastTech package go to the wrong town twice, and I think they were near SF.
My big fear is my local regular mailman. He constantly delivers stuff to the wrong place and once they do that it's scanned as being delivered and you're at the mercy of the person who got your package.

It's always good to ask where the best price is or search the forums or the internet (check the model specific forums too). I found ValueVaper because of the FastTech discussion saying they could get it cheaper in the US. I was determined to find where and kept on searching until I found where.

 

[Lilkcceleb]

My Vivi Nova is performing pretty well so far. No leaks. Good vapor. 4.2 V on iTaste. Dragon head drip tip works better on my dct than the nova. Hope the cobra is a little better when that ships.

 

[mirth]

So my excitement can't be contained My two FT orders are in Oklahoma City! I'm hoping this means that they will be delivered today or tomorrow, pressing F5 over and over is getting quite boring though, so I thought I would try to distract myself by talking about it here

 

[Cajunsteaming]

Well I ordered my K200 on 13Jul2013 and it is in!!!! yuppy!!! can't waite to start on it tonite. They might be in China but fast shipping is a PLUS!!!!! Priced the same item here and the cheapist I could get it before shipping was $79.95, seeing the fast turn around ordered my "FIRST" MOD from them just to break into MODS more to come.....

Cajunsteaming Vape On!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna have to agree with MyK Mountain_Rain96 this stuff is coming from China, you can't tell if the caps on the bottles were tightened or not with the amount of hands this has passed through before getting to you. And doing even a small amount of research will tell you that those clearos suck, buy a mod for half the price of a B&M then consider how FastTach preforms thats where they really shine

Also, if you search some of the travel threads, it is repeatedly stated that the air pressure on planes can cause leakage. With free shipping, you can separate your orders, and put all juice on one and hardware in the other, that's what I do since receiving an order like that. Also, as said before, try Liqua. I've never had a bottle of that leak because of the extra seaks, and IMO it tastes better as well.

Huh...I hadn't read about that, and it never occurred to me, either (the air pressure thing). Maybe I am being a little too hasty. I'll just keep my liquid orders separated from the rest, next time. Thanks.

No problem at all! Sorry if I came across a little snide sounding on that, I read it back and thought "Hey, I could have made that a little cheerier." LOL

Also, something I am about to order and could come in oh-so-handy for vaping supplies is THIS!!!! Yay!!! (You know, for all the cheap stuff we order from fasttech five times a week? Or is that just me? LOL)
